The World Moves Fast – Meditation Helps

In the current epoch, the pace of life has accelerated to an unprecedented degree. We live in a world defined by constant connectivity, rapid information flow, and an incessant demand for efficiency and productivity. From the moment we wake, our senses are bombarded by notifications, deadlines, and a seemingly endless stream of tasks. This relentless momentum, while offering incredible advancements, also exacts a heavy toll on our inner landscape. The human mind, not designed for such sustained high-speed input, often becomes overwhelmed, leading to stress, anxiety, diminished focus, and a pervasive sense of being constantly behind. In this whirlwind of activity, the ancient practice of meditation emerges not as a luxury, but as a vital necessity. And in the context of Himalayan Samarpan Dhyanyog, as illuminated by Swami Shivkrupanandji, meditation offers the profound stillness required to navigate this fast-moving world with grace, clarity, and unwavering inner peace.

Swami Shivkrupanandji consistently reminds us that the external world's speed is a reality we often cannot change. What we can change, however, is our internal response to it. The mind, left unchecked, tends to mirror the outer chaos, racing from one thought to another, reliving past worries, or projecting into future anxieties. This internal 'fast-forward' button prevents us from truly experiencing the present moment, which is the only place where life actually happens. The Guru emphasizes that true peace is not found by slowing down the world, but by cultivating an inner sanctuary of stillness so profound that the external hustle loses its power to disturb our core being. It’s about building an inner anchor in the midst of a storm.

Himalayan Samarpan Dhyanyog provides the practical methodology to achieve this vital inner equilibrium. Unlike many forms of meditation that might involve complex visualisations or strenuous concentration, Samarpan Dhyanyog is characterised by its effortless and non-judgmental approach. Sadhaks (practitioners) are gently guided to simply witness the incessant flow of thoughts, emotions, and external stimuli without engaging with them. This non-involvement is crucial. When we stop clinging to every thought or reacting to every sound, the mind's relentless pace begins to naturally slow down. We gradually realise that we are not the thoughts themselves, but the silent awareness observing them. This shift in perspective is the key to creating inner space.

As consistency in Dhyanyog practice grows, a profound transformation occurs. The seemingly overwhelming torrent of thoughts and external distractions begins to recede, revealing an underlying current of stillness. This is not an empty, vacant state, but a vibrant, aware silence that exists beyond the mind's incessant chatter. In this state of deeper awareness, one's perception sharpens, clarity emerges, and the ability to focus profoundly improves. The decisions that once felt rushed and overwhelming can now be approached with a calm, discerning mind. Swami Shivkrupanandji often guides practitioners to simply "be" in this awareness, to rest in the peace that is always present, irrespective of how fast the outer world moves.

Furthermore, the Guru's grace plays an indispensable role in accelerating this process of finding stillness amidst chaos. Swami Shivkrupanandji's enlightened presence and his ability to transmit spiritual energy during Dhyanyog sessions create a powerful energetic field that helps seekers bypass the intellectual mind's resistance. This benevolent energy gently nudges the awareness away from the mental turmoil and towards the calm depths of one's being, making the experience of profound inner silence more accessible and sustained. This unique aspect of Samarpan Dhyanyog allows individuals to achieve states of deep meditative peace relatively quickly, states that are essential for navigating the demands of the modern world.

Ultimately, meditation, as taught through Himalayan Samarpan Dhyanyog, is not an escape from the fast-paced world, but a powerful tool to master your response to it. It enables you to cultivate an inner sanctuary that remains serene and clear, no matter how chaotic the external environment becomes. By consistently engaging in this practice, guided by Swami Shivkrupanandji's profound wisdom and grace, you learn to move through life with a grounded presence, make conscious choices rather than reactive ones, and maintain your inner peace even when the world spins at its fastest. It is the ultimate life management tool for our accelerating times, empowering you to live vibrantly and purposefully, connected to the stillness within.

The Seven Bodies

Image
  The Seven Bodies Swamiji in his discourses has spoken about the awakening of the Kundalini and the seven bodies in brief in his discourses. Here we will try and examine what these bodies are. The first body is the Physical Body – this body is also known as the Sthul sharir – we are all aware of the physical body and most of us do not progress beyond this level in our spiritual journey. This develops in the first seven years after birth. The progress starts once a living Guru plants the seed of self-realisation within you. In the next seven years from ages 7 to 14 one develops the second subtle body which is the Etheric Body or the bhava sharir. Here, the emotional development and maturity takes place. Sexual maturity which is the most wanton of emotions is developed by the age of fourteen. Some people’s growth stops here and they cannot progress beyond this stage at all and get stuck with the physical and etheric bodies. After this is the Astral Body or the sukshma shari...

  GSD view from afar Heaven in the Heat - Rajasthan Samarpan Ashram   Visit to Rajasthan Samarpan Ashram   Our visit to Rajasthan Samarpan Ashram had been in the offing for quite a long time. I had called Umeshji sometime in the middle of April and asked whether we could give Aradka a visit. He said he would be free after the 26 th and so we planned accordingly. Umesh Paiji and I had decided to give a surprise inspection visit to the Rajasthan Samarpan Ashram as per the guidance given by His Holiness Swamiji in May 2023 during his discourse at Mahudi. Accordingly, we had booked flight tickets, airport to Ajmer hotel transfers – both to and fro. Our visit was from April 28 and return was scheduled for May 1 – both Gujarat and Maharashtra Day! On the 28 th we requested Swamiji’s office to inform the Rajasthan trustee and the Administrator of our impending visit and the purpose of the same. The office informed Dr Manoj Sharma and Mr. Sundeep Sharma about our visit ju...

Judging Others

  Photo Credit: Pinterest Judging Others Why do we judge people? Sometimes our opinion is formed even before having been introduced to a person. After spending several years on the spiritual path, we develop a sixth sense, we think we understand energy, and based on that we again judge people and slot them as ‘good’ or ‘bad.’ We do not have to stop judging people, we need to understand why and how we judge people. We can only judge that which is visible – like the behaviour of a person, because only the behaviour is available to form an opinion. We do not actually ‘know’ the person, we do not know the reason for his /her behaviour and despite that we go ahead and judge that person. It is alright to judge the act, but not the person. Sometimes it could so happen that a person is always smiling and laughing and being jovial, but deep down he/she may be sad and is just putting on a show to avoid passing on his wounds to everybody. Maybe he/she is smiling on the surface and cryin...
