your way to God!
All the words in this section
are as spoken by Swamiji. Reading them carefully and trying to understand
them deeply will bring about a radical change within us. When we
transform inside, the outside transforms automatically.
Enlightenment
is nothing but breaking all our conditionings and getting in touch
with the innocence that we have lost in the process of growing up.
The path to Enlightenment or to the Divine is not difficult like
how it is made out to be. First of all, the Divine is not a goal
as is understood by most of us. If we look at it as a goal, we are
in effect robbing it of its joy. The path itself is Divine!
There are several meditation techniques to fall in tune with the
Divine. One such technique is Dance, in the literal sense of the
word and even otherwise! Quantum physics has proven that the atom
is made up of elements that are static and moving at the same time.
A picture taken of this phenomenon reveals the resemblance it bears
to the dancing deity - Nataraja. The whole of Cosmos is actually
dancing with joy! Enjoying and celebrating every moment! Only man
is still holding on to his prestige and ego, which are nothing but
the labels stuck on him by society. Dance is the ultimate technique
to break free of the ego, to break free from the identity that man
holds close to his heart. Dance is the outward expression of the
inner joy when you fall into the joyous path. Just like when you
clap your hands and the birds fly off from the trees, so also, when
you sing and dance in the name of the Divine, your karmas (past
unfulfilled actions) fly away from you; you are liberated from them.
Children need not be taught to dance, they already are that way!
Their inner intelligence knows how to balance their Energy on the
centre of their Being and that is why they are so joyful all the
time. But we are unable to handle them in that state and so we suppress
them and make them dull.
Society tries you to put you either on the path of fear or on the
path of greed. When in fear, you walk your way to God; when in greed,
you drive or run your way to God; when in joy or bliss, you dance
your way to God! The path becomes ecstatic. Every moment and every
breath becomes a joyful meditation. Don't forego the path for the
goal! Music and dance are the simplest meditation techniques that
take you to the state of Nithyananda - Eternal Bliss.
My love and blessings to you to reach the
state of Nithyananda or Eternal Bliss!
