The Smallest Step Can Open the Deepest Doors

In the intriguing journey of spiritual awakening invariably we turn to God when our life faces huge problems, and then from there the journey inwards starts looking for signs, or life-altering revelations. Yet, the truth whispered by the Himalayan Samarpan Dhyanyog tradition is simple and profound: the smallest step can open the deepest doors. This path, taught by Shivkrupanand Swami, invites seekers to begin not with perfection, but with presence.

Samarpan Dhyanyog does not demand elaborate rituals or intellectual mastery. It asks only for one small step - a moment of sitting in silence, a breath taken with awareness, a willingness to unconditionally surrender to the Master. That single act, seemingly insignificant, becomes the key to unlocking inner realms that have remained closed for lifetimes. The power of this path lies in its simplicity. When a seeker sits in meditation, even for a few minutes, aligning with the Guru’s vibrations and the Himalayan energy, something begins to shift. Not outside, but within.

The smallest step - a decision to sit, to close the eyes, to let go - initiates a dialogue with the universal consciousness. It is as if the soul, long buried under layers of thought and identity, finally whispers, “I am ready.” And the universe responds, not with noise, but with grace. Doors open - not physical ones, but those hidden within the heart and mind. These are doors to peace, clarity, and a sense of belonging that no external achievement can offer.

Many seekers hesitate, thinking they must first be pure, disciplined, or enlightened to begin. But Samarpan Dhyanyog teaches that the journey begins exactly where you are. The smallest step is not a test - it is an invitation. And once taken, it carries the sadhak forward with surprising ease. The Guru’s energy supports every effort, no matter how small. In fact, the sincerity behind the step matters more than its size.

Over time, these small steps accumulate. A few minutes of daily meditation become a sanctuary. The mind, once restless, begins to settle. The heart, once guarded, begins to open. And the soul, once silent, begins to sing. All this begins with one step - taken not with force, but with faith.

In the presence of the Guru, even the smallest gesture - a thought of unconditional surrender, a moment of gratitude - can transform the sadhak’s entire vibration. The Guru does not measure progress by milestones but by openness. And the deepest doors - those of self-realisation, divine connection, and inner freedom - do not require keys of effort, but keys of surrender.

So, if we are waiting for the perfect moment, the right mood, or the ideal environment, pause. The smallest step is available now. Sit. Breathe. Surrender unconditionally! That is enough! The door will open - not because it was forced open, but because we trusted it.

In the Himalayan silence, this truth echoes: the path is not far, and the door is not locked. It only waits for the sadhak’s smallest step.

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...
