Merge with Your Beloved

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

Namaste,

The Beloved always invites us toward the great elegance of Soul.
There is an immense dignity when you merge with your Beloved.
Sometimes in the stillness of meditation, you can hear your Beloved call you.

The Beloved arrives in our lives, filled with the radiance of the Emptiness.
For a while you are caught up in the beauty of the Soul.
It is when the ego has you take the beauty of Soul for granted that you begin to feel separate.

Always know that your Beloved is there and will never abandon you.
You are His or Her love and always will be.

Love,
Ma Jaya

Trust in Your Beloved

Monday, January 18th, 2010

Namaste,

This journey has been exceptional, and there is so much more to come.
Trust in your Beloved is trust in yourself; and if you do not trust yourself, you will find yourself running away from the growth that your Beloved wants so much for you.

Each person experiences something different from his or her Beloved.

You all receive a different energy, yet you all receive a deep and unconditional love that flows through you.
Where does trust of the Beloved begin?
Trust begins with a little trust that grows and grows.
This trust can grow by practicing what is given to you.

Begin by placing your trust in your Beloved.
You grow in meditation.
Your love begins to expand to having love for all beings.

There are three kinds of seekers: those who are asleep and want to be asleep; those who are serving; and those who are awake and want to be even more awake.
Your Beloved will do anything to take you deeper into yourself.

I will share with you all that my Guru, Neem Karoli Baba, shared with His Ma.
I never thought that this could be possible, yet this is happening even as I write these words.
Did you ever realize that you already know all these words?
I just have to remind you to listen to your own heart.
We will persevere on this journey of ours.
The heart knows the road, and the Soul is already there.
When you sit and feel the Formless, you catch a glimpse of what you have and will be able to give to others.

The stars in this early dawn twinkle merrily.
Bubbles of joy that burst into bliss can be felt in this early morn.
This is a path of bliss.
This is the path of light.
This is the path of peace.
This is the path of love.
This is also the path of pure Shakti, the path of success.

This is the path to God the father and God the Mother.
For this path that we journey together is also the path of self realization.
And so the flowers smile this early dawn, and the birds get ready to sing.
I throw you all into the lake of Baba’s heart, giving rise to ever-growing circles of love.

Our hearts burst into blissful waves of beauty that break into the Ocean of Light that you are all blessed with.
I intend to tell your hearts of this love, and you yourself shall hand it down to the next generation.

I am one excited Mother, ready to serve my children.
Love,
Ma Jaya

The Rhythm of your Beloved

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

Namaste,

As you watch your breath this day, feel your whole body energizing.
You are being taken into the rhythm of your Beloved.
When you close your eyes, you can see the energy flowing inside you and all around you.
I want you all to prepare yourselves by noticing how aware you can become if you put your mind to it.
This is the higher mind.
This is the mind of the yogi – the Tantric yogi and yogini.

Rhythms appear and never disappear; you are being aligned with nature, simplicity and love.
Look toward the Universal Mother as Shakti and light.
This Light is going on and on; this is a very potent concept.
You do not go into your mind; you simply are, simply in the moment.
Begin to know and to truly understand who you are.

You are God and Goddess, and you must begin to understand this.
You are part of a greater picture, and you inherit all the goodness.
You internalize the beauty of you.
You are part of all energy; you just know this.
You have the energy that has come to you for thousands of years.
You become a more powerful being, a being of goodness.
Be open, and feel the energy of light that is yours – and I will teach you how to make this Shakti available to you.
You have to be able to feel the Mother’s excitement for all of you.
No one is left out.
This love embraces and protects you all.
This is the Force of God and Goddess.
Say over and over, “I am the Mother.”

Notice that you can become anything that you want to be.
The Universal Mother will help you.
You can begin to understand who you are this moment, in this moment.
It always is and always will be.
This is the miracle of unconditional love, and you all have it.
We all have within us an unlimited power, Shakti, and love – love is the greatest of all.
You are locked into the unlimited power and the pure energy of unconditional love.

There are those two words: Unconditional Love.
You were born to understand these words and to use these words and to feel the power within.

Feel this love.
Do not be afraid to feel.
Love,
Ma Jaya

The Lightning Bolt of Love

Tuesday, January 12th, 2010

Namaste,

Do not fear unconditional love.
There is an utter simplicity to it.
Thinking of a lightning bolt is a good way to describe the way your Beloved loves you: strong, straight and full of light.

That lightning bolt never stops racing through you; it opens you and brings you courage that you never knew you had.
But when you are tense, you cannot let the fullness of the lightning bolt touch you; it bounces off.
When you can relax, you can spread the light of your Beloved all throughout your being, your body and the place where you live.
The Light just simply spreads while it warms and relaxes you.

Gratitude, gratitude, gratitude.
This is all I have: Gratitude and love, love and gratitude.

I love you all.
Love,
Ma Jaya

Honoring Death when Afraid

Wednesday, December 16th, 2009

Namaste,

The question this day is “How do we honor death when we are afraid?”

Answer:

I will answer you as deeply and honestly as I can.

This is everyone’s question at one time or another, especially as we enter into spiritual life.
As you live a life of spirituality, you learn more about death.
You also learn to embrace Death rather than fear him.
If you can keep still this very moment and sit and listen to your Beloved’s voice, you will find that your Beloved is always talking and listening to you.
He or she will take your fear and leave you to enjoy your spiritual journey, which includes Death.
As you sit and begin to enter into the Formless, you breathe more inside of yourself.
This is mental breathing; in doing this, you will find that you have less fear – not only of death, but of many things.
You will feel that you have become one with Death’s breath, without fear.
You will learn to keep the incense burning night and day in your heart, and you will be able to feel the gentle flow of death’s magic.
Your Soul will allow you to know that it never dies; the Soul is always to be found.

After awhile, death will not worry you at all, and you will learn how to greet Death.
It will be seen as a gift that you naturally receive each and every lifetime.
You will learn of the gentle wind that blows today with love, and the gentle sky that is so blue that it brings tears of joy.

Trees and flowers and such will bring you in death the same joy they bring you in life.
See now in the moment how much less afraid you are.
Just knowing that your Beloved will be with you always keeps life sweet and safe.
Your Beloved loves you very much, and this love follows you lifetime to lifetime, from death to death.

You are precious to your Beloved

Love,
Ma Jaya

Question: Is Trust an Aspect of Samadhi?

Sunday, December 6th, 2009

Namaste,

Question from Swami Jaya Devi: Is trust an aspect of samadhi?

Answer:

All Teachers must gain trust; this goes with the territory.

I too had to gain trust in my chelas as they began to feed and teach so many.

When you are sitting by the well of your Beloved, you must have a deep trust.

The silence is deafening and quite scary at first, until you want more.

It is almost like flying without wings, except you are in bliss as you are flying.

The ego is always there trying to stop your primary drive for God.

Trust must build.

The stillness brings movement to the seeker’s heart.

Yes, trust is a big factor as one goes toward the Ultimate Bliss.

And more than the bliss and becoming liberated, one has to return to serve and to teach.

It is all a process.

As the seeker travels the road toward Samadhi, the intention becomes both the holiness of life and the truth about death.

It is all so very exciting, and humanity benefits the most.

I love teaching you all like this.

Be careful, as the ego will try to confuse your heart and mind.

Yet the Gods and Goddesses will call you and hold you as well as your Beloved.

I love you with all my heart.

Love,

Ma Jaya

Yearning

Friday, November 27th, 2009

Namaste,

Did you ever feel that the Soul is longing to return from whence it has come?
It is feeling of absolute yearning.
This yearning can open your heart like nothing else.
This yearning can call the Gods and Goddesses into your sight.
This yearning is so great that you forget to be afraid; you fear not the vibrations of the Mother, thus letting Her enter your Being without resistance.

This love wants to be known by God
The yearning is a process.
The yearning is a work of love.
The yearning teaches you to live the oneness of love.
The beloved of the Mother swims in the sea of humanity.
Sometimes you get so close you can taste it.
This is true of the beloved of the Mother.
It echoes from heart to heart.
It is invisible, yet it can be seen by the heart.
Sit and feel; you are in the presence of the Mother.
Her energy takes us where we have to go.
The fragrance of the Mother is like an invisible step.
You grasp the scent, yet you do not see it.
And you can, if you yearn for it.
Pray to be able to feel the Mother more and more.
Prayer is the yearning of a sincere heart.
Pray for spiritual upliftment, grace, and self realization.
Ask the Mother this moment to help you to surrender to Her Divine Will.

Be the flute in Krishna’s hand.
This is the secret of success and enrichment in life.
No lover has ever felt this closeness: heart merging into heart, love seeking love.
Baba has always told me to prepare you for the spiritual Cosmic Source to make itself known.
If you yearn for the Cosmic Source to glow within you and manifest, you will be prepared for this ecstasy to unfold within your whole being.
Keep yearning, especially when you sit in meditation.
You are a very special being to the Mother.
She wants nothing but your happiness.
She can taste it.
She will never stop until you are one with your Beloved.
I love you all.

Love,

Ma Jaya

Om Tat Sat

Thursday, November 19th, 2009

Namaste,

Within you all is the beauty that you seek to express.

Look deep inside and find for yourself that you are the ocean of beauty that you wish to swim in.

No matter how you explore the Universe, you yourself are the living breathing Universe that perhaps you never thought to explore!

The truth that you long to find is in your own essential nature.

Meditate on your heart center, and eventually you know that you are the union that you seek, and that your Beloved is the truth of your heart.

Turn your gaze within, and know you are Om Tat Sat – that which is that.

Within your heart emerges an ocean of bliss.

Within your heart you can feel the lotus of love bloom into creation.

In your heart you will find the hidden secrets of the Self.

Let your vision soar higher and higher.

I love you with all my heart.

Love,

Ma Jaya

The Heart of the Beloved

Saturday, November 14th, 2009

Namaste,

It is all about being humble and grateful.
There comes a time when people forget to be grateful, and that is the time when they think that they know more than the Beloved.
This involves the opinions of the ego shooting right at you and having you forget where you are in life and in death.
I have seen it happen time after time.

Let us speak and hear from the heart of the Beloved.
Yes, you all have your Beloved’s heart.
When you feel challenges in your life, you need to call on the heart that can sustain you.
It is the intuitive heart, the guidance of your Beloved, that is always there.
I ask you to break through the chains that the ego wraps around you.
It is a truth that carries over from lifetime to lifetime.
You have two options: you can either accept the fact that you can make a quantum leap in your own consciousness, or you can fight and resent your own beautiful power.
We have to evict this tenant that is occupying a space in our lives and is not welcome.
The ego is not wanted; most of all, it is just a thought that the ego sends us and takes us off track. Then the Beloved steps in to protect us, even from ourselves.

Your Beloved protects you all, despite your so-called connection to any darkness that the ego sends to you.
You are all the children of the Universal Mother.
There is no force greater than this.

I call myself the servant of the servant of God.
It is the worshipper who gives form to the Gods and Goddesses, and I love doing Pujas for all of you to Hanumanji, the Lord of Service.
There are so many for us to serve, and so much love to do it with.
I love you all.

Love,
Ma Jaya

Talk to your Soul

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009

Namaste,

Take this day to be grateful for everything you have in your life.
Talk to your soul.
Breathe in and out deeply, feeling like never before.
Feel the breath touching every bone in your body.
Feel it touching your skin.

Feel it entering your heart.
Let the breath soothe your heart.
Allow the breath to connect you to the Universe, to your Beloved, and to the Beloved inside of you.
Feel the beat of your heart.
Keep repeating, “My Beloved loves me.”
Feel the love.

There is not a moment that your Beloved does not think and pray for you.
This is the job and the desire of your Beloved: to take care of your every need.

I love you all,

Love,
Ma Jaya
Kashi Ashram
