Inner Peace through Collective Meditation
In India,
seekers from time immemorial have sought the company of saints or have sought
to be associated with them, or have meditated on their pictures along with
other spiritual aspirants. The spiritual masters ask those who wish to attain
perfection to stay in the close proximity of others who are of the same
inclination and are searching for the same inner peace in order to strengthen
their own aspirations. This is the power of collectivity. We tend to become
like the people we mingle with, this happens not only through conversations or
physical interaction but silently, through magnetic vibrations that emanate
from them. When we come into the range of their magnetism we are affected.
That silent divine vibration which is emanating from
each individual is enhanced when we sit in groups for meditation, therefore the
collective vibrations uplift those souls who are at a lower level and those who
are at a higher level come down, so that the entire collective is meditating at
a frequency which has been divinely equalised. Every person meditating in that
group feels the same sense of calm and inner peace creating a kind of group
oneness which benefits all those in the group.
This practise of collective meditation which
Swamiji keeps emphasising upon in every discourse will help fortify your own spiritual
convictions; you will notice that many seemingly tough and unsurmountable
barriers in one’s life crumble and dissolve in the waters of your devotion and
meditative practise. Your own devotion and love for Paramatma commingles with
that of other fellow meditator’s love of others. Divine bliss will radiate from
your being and from those of other fellow meditators such that you are
enveloped in an ocean of bliss, which mesmerises those who you come in contact
with once you leave the meditation hall. A kind of magical, joyous magnetism
radiates through your being giving a sense of joy and peace to those who come
within range of your vibrations. These vibrations, immediately on leaving the
group meditation have the collective strength of the group, so never feel that
these are ‘my’ vibrations – because if you do you will fall into the pit of ‘ego’
– getting out then is very difficult.
In these pandemic times, the universe gives the
same energy and vibrational experience through online group meditation. This shows
that energy and vibrations actually do not require physical proximity as long
as everyone sits for meditation through a common meditation online link. One’s
own attitude, faith, belief and commitment to the group will manifest in the
feeling of energy and vibrations – the more you believe the more you get and
vice versa. Stay blissed, stay blessed.
