Something about Sahaj

In my last navaratre, Bharat bhaiya in his usual softly spoken manner gave its description as, 'It is the course in which you are given a mantra with which you can achieve the deepest meditative state you have got ever in any of your lifetime so far.' And that single sentence made all those six thousand people do the course for first time or repeat again. And here is what Rajshree Patel told in one day Sahaj Session,'

So what was your instruction for the Kriya in your Part-1 course, 45 days without a break right? And what was the instruction for the Sahaj??? Twice everyday. Thats it. Any time limit? 45 days, 40 days No... So what do you think should be more important? And so how many times you are supposed to be doing your Sahaj?? Everyday Twice, Once or not at all???? You have no idea what is given to you..

When I was asked to commit, in my head I said, 'no way, with my schedule doing it twice everyday is impossible. But I'll do it once every day for sure.' I very well justified myself. I don't know when I started to skip it saying ti myself anyways I am doing my Kriya, Padma Sdhana etc everyday. 

Although I never dropped it completely But this session was an eye opener for me. Since that day I have started doing my Sahaj Twice every single day. Now if you haven't done this course yet or if have done already then in either case you know what you should be doing. Right?

Satsang 2

There are some ways to make satsang more powerfull:

First is if you know the meaning of the chants used in the bhajans. eg. if every one is told about the meaning of the om namah shivay or narayana hari om, you can observer those kind of vibration while singing.

Second is if you know the 'prasanga' (story before the bhajan) of the bhajan. Say the story I wrote in my first post, http://whosinhere.blogspot.com/2010/07/who-is-in-here.html, just remembering that 'prasanga' will make the bhajan much more powerful.

Last is if you can figure out which energy is dawning in the surrounding & then doing its 'stuti' with that particular bhajan at that time, it increase the whole energy of surrounding to a new level. And practicing more and more satsang etc is not going to help in making that possible. The only key for feeling that energy is Hollow & Emptiness. Guruji once said, 'tumahre hollow aur empty mein aisi kya kami rah gayi ki tum is vatavaran mein vidyaman shakti ko nahi pehchaan sakte.' And you know there is this one person who have got a 100% Hit ratio for it And her name is Bhanu Di. She always figure out the exact bhajan everytime. Like during astavakra gita time, during one satsang Vikram Hazra caught that bhajan 'chandrashekharay namah om' and told Dr. Mani to sing it & Dr. Mani said, 'Not here, mostly we sing that bhajan after rudra pujas only.' There was a pause & from the ladies side on other hand of yagnashala Bhanu di started singing the same bhajan (I guess who were there must have remembered that).

In the end you should be able to sing, being from all these knowledge as well. Sometimes to be able to sing without caring about all this also.

So Tonight when you go to sleep pray that if you deserve this knowledge then let it come and at the same time do not let me stuck in it.
