Highest Realisation
Most of us believe in God, some don’t, some simply
do not have an opinion on the subject. In the modern era everything is subject
to verification – children today do not accept anything unless it can be tested
and proved. Which is fine, it has to be so. Even in spirituality, all the
Masters to date have said do not accept anything blindly, faith also has to
have a measure of proof.
Swamiji also tells us to attend the 8-days
meditation camp, then water the spiritual seed implanted within us by
meditating for 45 days in the centre, and if we feel that there has been no
impact on us, we can leave! But in the last 13 years or so since I have been
practicing this meditation and after introducing it to hundreds of souls, I
have only known one person who did not continue, and he too was impacted and
does meditate, but does so independently – following different Masters over a
period of time. The trick is to stick with one and go the whole hog – the spiritual
experiences come and our faith goes on increasing.
Meditation under the guidance of Swamiji helps us
realise that we are not the body, we are not the mind, we are just the soul.
When soul realisation happens our whole idea of life changes. The past does not
matter, the future is not here as yet and hence we learn to live in the moment.
We realise that everything that is happening on
earth is for a purpose. Things happened and we felt that we were ‘doing’ it, but
with self-realisation comes the knowledge that whatever is happening is
happening as per divine will – ‘I’ has no role in it!
Everything in life happens according to Divine
Will. We are all puppets dancing to His music. Life just happens, it is our
resistance and ego which creates the conflict and pain. Acceptance leads to
peace and quiet – the mind becomes your friend and not your enemy. Once we
accept that everything happens as per God’s will, we just stop worrying and
play the part that the Divine has planned for us. No part is big or small. Only
by knowing this truth can we become great. It is immaterial where we are or
what we are doing.
The most important thing to know is that we are
just instruments in the hands of the Divine – that is the highest realisation.
Know that every moment that Great Presence is within us, functioning through us
and we are nothing but His instruments!
