The Connection to your Beloved

Sunday, September 6th, 2009

Namaste,

To understand your connection to your Beloved, you must sit in a quiet space and breathe in and out with awareness.

You say to yourself, “I am the breath, and the breath is me.”

Repeat this until it becomes a mantra in your mind, reaching deeply into the heart.

Do you know this to be truth?

Then you say over and over to yourself, “I know this to be my truth.”

Your whole being is on fire with this truth.

See how you are affected.

Say, “I am the fire that I started myself.”

This is so simple and so true.

I love you all.

Love,

Ma Jaya

The Beloved

Saturday, September 5th, 2009

Namaste,

This day speak to your Beloved like you never have before.

Speak words from your heart that you did not believe existed.

Feel your heart, and know that your Beloved is the radiant sun that dwells there.

The petty cage called mind cannot comprehend the beauty of the Soul and the joy of your Beloved, who loves beyond love.

Ask your Beloved to teach you how to live the fullness of life.

Become the witness to all sorrow as well as elation.

Know that you are part of your Beloved’s infinite expansion.

The path to your Beloved runs through paths of light.

It is the path of peace, even though there is turmoil in life.

The path of your Beloved can help you live through life, no matter what.

Having seen your Beloved, all is seen.

Having heard your Beloved, all is heard

Having touched your Beloved, all is touched.

Having known your Beloved, all is known.

All gloom is destroyed at the thought of your Beloved.

You know that your Beloved of light comes into the space of your heart.

Your whole being pulsates with joy, power, and light at the thought of your Beloved.

Sit now in your silence, and share a moment with your Beloved.

Ask of your Beloved anything at all.

Wait in the silence for an answer.

Write the answer in your journal.

Then do this again the following day.

Do this for a week, and then look upon your answers.

See how they relate to your life.

You have now conversed with your Beloved and your world is well.

From darkness to eternal light, your Beloved has taken you.

I bow in gratitude and love.

I love you all so very much.

Love,

Ma Jaya

Mother Laxmi Meditation on Freedom

Friday, September 4th, 2009

Namaste,

Let us all give thanks for our lives this morning.
For all that we have and will have in the future of the now.
I bow to Mother Laxmi, She who has brought to heart and mind the ability for prosperity and turned it all into a reality.

On the spiritual path to Enlightenment, the most important technique to resolve problems is surrender to the Mother on the path, which is Mother Laxmi.
Her Divine Hand sustains you and leads you to the surrender of your heart and to the acceptance of your Soul.
The divine plan brings trust to your heart of hearts, the heart of the Mother.
Trust is developed gradually over many lifetimes, guided by gratitude and love.
There is no need to ever become afraid of any situation.
Again and again the divine plan continues to sustain you, even when you are in deep sleep and have no control over the body.
You are in the arms of Mother Laxmi.
How wonderful it is to have the heart’s purpose be no other than to help others, to help all humanity.

She is the Mother of the world.
She is the Goddess of wealth, beauty, and good fortune.
She is especially worshiped at Diwali.
She has four arms and sits on a lotus flower; Her hands drop gold coins that symbolize wealth.
She has elephants on each side of Her, symbolizing prosperity.
Her lower hands drop gold coins into the waiting hands of people all over the world.

She shows us all that everything has a purpose.
She is strong and is loved by all.
She is also said to ride the owl of wisdom.
There is a sense of reality all around Her, therefore around all of Her children.
Before Her, you are your internal self.
How beautiful to understand that you are not the body.
You rip out your smaller self, and know in the depths of your being that you are not your flesh.
You are not the wave; you are beyond the whole of the ocean and beyond even that.

Sit quietly and feel Her arms around you.
She is holding four lotuses, one in each hand.
The sweetness of the moment can be felt in meditation.
You breathe the sweetness in and out.
The very air around you and in you becomes sweet with anticipation.
You are in a dream, and the dream’s problems vanish.
The world does not call you or spite you or harass you.

As you sit, a fragrance emerges from the heart of the universe.
Buds bloom in the night as the moon shines forth.
All clouds disperse.
As the radiant sun disperses all dark clouds, your breath comes in deeper and deeper.
Streams of dreams of gold gush forth.

Sit, and feel the Mother’s breath surround you.
Say the words, “I am free.”
Then know you are free.
You are everything in this freedom, and this freedom is everything in you.

After doing this meditation, your life will begin to change for the better.
You will find that you are capable of so much more.
You will find that you are capable of helping yourself and others like never before.
It is so simple and so true.

I love you all,
Love,
Ma Jaya

The Simple Breath of Being

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009

Namaste,

This is just the simple breath of being.
Relax the body.
Relax the breath.
Feel the rising truth from the base of your spine.
The breath is going straight up the spine.
You find yourself sitting tall.
Bring your mind to the left, and then to the right, now to the center.
Keep breathing in and out, focusing in the heart center in the middle of your chest.
Then start to count.
Breathing in one
Breathing out one.
Breathing in two, breathing out two.
Feel the breath getting deeper and deeper.
Still focus in the heart center.
Feel your whole being expanding.
The breath takes longer to come in and longer to go out.
A smile touches the corner of your mouth.
The center of your being waits for the breath to fill the cavity and then to leave once again.
Take the breath to the throat.
Breathe in and out, remembering to count.
And if you forget, this is fine start all over.
There is never a beginning nor is there an ending.
Just freedom.
Focus your attention over the head, as you are breathing in and breathing out.

If you think you are getting lost, this is fine.
You cannot get lost.
You can just start again and again; nobody is judging you.
You are the freedom between the breaths
Taste it.
Drink it.
Be it.
Become it.
Now take the deepest breath you can take.

Fill up the chest.
Fill up your life.
Touch upon your death.
Can you feel your own joy?
This breath meditation has no beginning and no ending.
It cannot be done wrong, simply because it never has to be right.
No judgment.
No time.
Nothing at all.
Just freedom.
We are one.
We always were one.

I love you all.

Love,
Ma Jaya

Freedom

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009

Namaste,

To live in community is to live with so many different personalities and possibilities.
When the clouds are rumbling and the ocean is rough with high waves, people turn to one another for comfort and understanding.
Living in community brings comfort to the seeker’s heart.
My heart is always filled with the love of my chelas and my love for my Guruji, Neem Karoli Baba.
I give thanks for all He has given me, mine and the world.
Always my Guru says to me, “Keep up your spirit, and know that all will pass; only a teaching will remain.”
This teaching is made of love, spirit, and Shakti.

When the darkness is dense, the path is filled with thorns – and sometimes the way is lost.
Keeping up the spirit helps you to know that you are not alone and never will be.
You will find the path of spirit when the heart is filled with love.
For all difficulties and all failures, I say to all of you, “Keep up the spirit, and all will pass: only the teachings will remain.
At this moment sense the fragrance of the buds that bloom in the night as it emerges from the heart chakra.
As the moon shines forth, the clouds disperse.
The radiant sun reveals itself scattering darkness with light.

See your supreme Beloved with the eyes of your heart.
Your Beloved springs from the depths of your heart, fragrant and lustrous, shining with understanding of love.
Your Beloved dances, smiles, and laughs with deafening shouts of joy.
From the stony wombs of high mountains that you have already climbed is born a love so vast that you are engulfed within its folds.
Merge with the Ocean of Divinity and Truth.
Pretty words, no – these are words of the heart.
Here you can see and feel all the blossoms of your Beloved’s mystical gardens.

In the silent hours of the morning time, I send you pieces of my heart to enfold within your own.
You and I are one.
I remember when my Baba said these words to me.
I could not believe them.
Then when our Dada came from India and told your Ma that our Baba said the same words to him, my whole world opened; I knew it could be possible that my Baba and I could be one, and that you and I can be one.
We will merge and be strong, full, and never alone.

In the silent hours of the morning we can behold the sunshine of eternal life together – liberation from endless strife, you and I and our Beloved.
Each dew drop this early dawn represents the endless amount of love that extends from your Beloved to you.
Words from the poet of life – you are the poet of life.
Words from the poet of death – you are the poet of death.
Together we dance lifetime after lifetime.
The song is always the same, yet the song is always different, oh my Lord of infinite splendor, pure love, and consciousness.

I ask you to awaken.
To wake up to the moment.
To wake up to awareness.
I hold you so very tightly; feel my arms around you.
The Mother holding her child.

I love you all,
Love,
Ma Jaya
