Everything Waits for Its Time

Life unfolds according to its own rhythm. Just as nature follows its cycles, so too does the journey of the soul. A flower does not bloom before its time; it waits patiently for the right season, the right sunlight, and the right nourishment. A child takes nine months before birth, growing quietly in the womb until the moment of arrival. The sun rises each day according to its time, never too early, never too late. In the same way, everything in life waits for its time.

This truth is deeply spiritual. We often rush, wanting answers, seeking results, yearning for fulfilment. Yet, the universe reminds us that growth cannot be forced. The soul matures in silence, and the fruits of our journey ripen only when the time is right. Meditation is the practice that helps us align with this rhythm. It teaches us patience, awareness, and surrender.

When we meditate, we step away from the restless chase of the external world. We stop demanding that life unfold according to our desires. Instead, we become witnesses, observing the flow of thoughts, emotions, and experiences. In this witnessing, we discover that everything has its time. The one we are searching for - the Guru, the truth, the realisation - appears when we are ready, when the time has come.

Readiness is not about external preparation; it is about inner maturity. Just as a seed must break open before it can sprout, the soul must soften, surrender, and open itself to grace. Meditation nurtures this readiness. Each moment of silence waters the seed of awareness. Slowly, the ego dissolves, the mind quiets, and the soul awakens. When the soul is ready, the universe responds. The Guru appears, the truth reveals itself, and the path becomes clear.

Impatience is natural, but it is also the greatest obstacle. When we demand results before their time, we create frustration and restlessness. We may even miss the subtle signs of growth happening within us. Just as pulling at a bud will not make it bloom faster, forcing spiritual progress only delays it. The wise know that patience is strength. They trust the timing of the universe, knowing that everything unfolds perfectly.

The law of time is also the law of karma. Every action has its season of return. Just as seeds sown in the earth sprout in their own time, the seeds of our actions bear fruit when the moment is ripe. Meditation helps us accept this law with grace. Instead of resisting, we surrender. We learn to wait with faith, knowing that what is meant for us will come when the time is right.

This waiting is not passive. It is active awareness. In meditation, we are not idle; we are cultivating presence. We are preparing the soil of the soul, removing weeds of ego and desire, and allowing the light of consciousness to shine. In this preparation, time becomes our ally. Each moment of waiting deepens our awareness, strengthens our patience, and brings us closer to realisation.

Ultimately, the truth is simple: everything waits for its time. The flower blooms, the child is born, the sun rises, and the soul awakens - all according to divine timing. Meditation helps us trust this timing, surrender to it, and live in harmony with it. When we stop rushing and start witnessing, we discover that life is not late, nor is it early. It is always on time.

So, let us meditate and wait with faith. The one we are searching for will appear when we are ready. The truth will reveal itself when the time has come. Until then, let us live in awareness, in patience, and in trust. For in the rhythm of the universe, everything waits for its time - and when that time arrives, it is always perfect.

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...

Seeing Visions during Meditation

Image
  Photo credit: Transformational Art College Seeing Visions during Meditation Of late many people have asked me the meaning of visions one sees while meditating. Getting visions is related to the eyes and the eyes have a connection to the agya chakra. Swamiji has always said that once you reach the agya chakra – that is good as well as bad. The good part is that you have reached the agya chakra – means you have reached the sixth level while clearing the five chakras below the agya chakra. Once you reach the agya chakra you start seeing visions of deities, samadhist Gurus, some see a flame, a blue light which moves in circles and so on. So, what is this and why does this happen – this is the most common question. The agya chakra holds all the impressions of the past, whether it is guilt, anger, hurt or spiritual in nature. So, the visions of deities, Gurus, saints, etc are basically of those from the past. These impressions are imbedded deep in the subconscious mind or chitta. Once ...
