What Happens When You Meditate
When you have a Meditation Practice with a technique that allows you to transcend the relative field, the experience is of your Self, Pure Consciousness That is Divine Being. You sit comfortably, close your eyes, and think your Mantra. Your mind naturally settles down, from the grosser, surface level to the finer, deeper levels of the mind where thoughts are more refined. The mind is always seeking greater happiness. As it is traversed from the surface level to the deeper levels, more happiness is experienced. And then your mind, all your thoughts, and the entire relative field are transcended. You […]
Seek the Happiness Within You That Is Your True Nature
All good things come to an end. Something that brings you happiness can change, as everything here in this world changes, and come to an end. If you seek happiness that lasts, then you should look within. Your mind and your physiology are projections of Consciousness: Projections of your Self. The nature of Self is bliss Consciousness; Is Consciousness of Divine Being That never changes, is unbounded and eternal. That experience of happiness is within you. When you have a Meditation Practice with a technique that allows you to transcend the relative field; To transcend the relative field that is […]
The Meditation Experience Is the Unfolding of Your Karma
When you have a meditation technique that allows you to transcend the relative field, there is a traversing of your mind: A traversing from the grosser, surface values of thoughts down through to the deeper levels of your mind, where thoughts are finer, more refined and subtle. In the traversing of the mind, as it moves toward the Transcendent, there can be different kinds of experiences. Maybe you see in your mind’s eye, a beautiful shape or form or color; or a flash of white light. Or maybe you are overcome by some feeling of sadness or joy, or by […]
Dharma Is the Path of Evolution to Higher States of Consciousness
Dharma is the path of evolution throughout your many lifetimes, evolution to Higher States of Consciousness. Your particular dharma in this lifetime is according to your particular level of consciousness in this lifetime. You should not try to follow someone else’s dharma. Your own path of evolution is the most efficient and effective for you. Maharishi teaches that to truly be on the path of your dharma, you must be established in your Self. Being established in your Self is the way to transcend all the limitations of your individual mind in this particular lifetime; To transcend all the limitations […]
Be Anchored in Never Changing Silence in the Midst of Ever Changing Dynamism
Silence, the Field of the Absolute, the Silence of Divine Being, is never changing eternally. Dynamism, the relative field, the field of activity here in the world, is always changing eternally. And yet Silence, the Silence of Divine Being , is the source of the relative field. It permeates all of the relative field, all of the dynamism here with all its activity. When you have a Meditation Practice where the relative field is transcended, then your Self is left in Silence to experience Divine Being by ItSelf. The Silence of Divine Being transforms your mind and physiology. Eventually they […]
By the Grace of God Evolve to Higher States of Consciousness with Your Meditation Practice
It is by the Grace of God that the Vedas, the Laws of Nature, emerge from the Wholeness of the Field of the Absolute. It is by the Grace of God the Vedas unfold in a sequential manner, with reference to what has come before, and with reference to Wholeness. It is by the Grace of God the sounds and vibrations of the Vedas collapse and manifest all of Creation. These Laws of Nature keep Creation in the stream of evolution: from Wholeness, through Wholeness, to Wholeness. Your many lifetimes as a human being are governed by Natural Law, to […]
Whether a Householder or a Recluse, Experience Divine Being in Your Meditation Practice
Maharishi teaches that it does not matter whether your way of life is as a householder or as a recluse. To gain Higher States of Consciousness, you must do your Meditation Practice. Your way of life, either out in the world or in seclusion in a monastery or on an ashram, should be carried out in a measured and balanced manner. Either way of life will integrate and stabilize the changes in Consciousness that come from your Meditation Practice. We have many different lifetimes as human beings. The purpose of these lives is the evolution to Higher States of Consciousness. […]
To Be the Best Person You Can Be, You Must Know Who You Are
In our daily lives, we sometimes react to situations with anger, or impatience or with some other stressed response. We do not like that behavior of ours, and we want to change it. We want to have better interactions with the ones we love, and with people in general. We want to be a better person. How can you move forward in your life in this direction? Know who you are. Who you are is invulnerable, eternal, unbounded and never changing: Your Self. Your Self projects as your mind and physiology; It projects as all of Creation. When you have […]
Devotion to God Is the Most Refined of the Finest Feelings
The teaching of the Ancient Vedic Masters is that devotion to the Lord is the offering of service, reverence and love. This offering of devotion is only possible when one is established in one’s Self. The consciousness of the relative field, the waking, dreaming or sleeping states, is full of activity. One is always busy doing, perceiving, thinking and feeling. This activity of the relative field covers the Awareness of Self; It covers and hides your true nature. The Self is the experience when the relative field, with all its ever changing activity, is transcended: The Self is left by […]
Self Referral Is the Simplest Form of Awareness
As we live our lives here in the world, we often think of things with reference to ourselves. We refer to our mind to help us determine the best course of action. But there is a much deeper understanding of Self referral. With the consciousness of the relative field, the waking, dreaming or sleeping state, we practice object referral. Any thoughts, perceptions, or feelings we may have are the practice of object referral. The consciousness of the object fills the mind and hides the Consciousness of Self. When you have a Meditation Practice that allows you to transcend the relative […]
