Devotion and Confusion

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010

Namaste,

When you realize that the Self is free from impressions of like and dislike, you have no need to criticize anyone.
This happens due to meditation.
Meditating on the breath forces you to look deeply into your heart.

Confusion is an ego mind-game that causes you to waste time over and over again.
It makes for indecisive action and poor reasoning.
It keeps you unstable.
Confusion is the ego’s chatter directing your life.
To get rid of confusion, stop asking yourself so many questions and use your intuition.
Decisions should be natural and should come from the heart.
Expanding your mind comes from stretching the intellect.
Frustration comes from expecting to fail
When you expect to succeed, you become happy – even if you do not succeed.

You are not your body or your mind; you are part of the Universal Mother.
The power which is in the Mother is in you as well.
Each day you expand; devotion and love help you to expand.
There is one thing in the world you must never forget and that one thing is love.
You are all on a mission of love for Mother Earth and Her children.

As you sit this moment, let the devotion that is waiting for you grow.
It is waiting for you to be aware of it.
The world holds many distractions for you.
Yet to know the love of the Mother is to have a purpose in life; the ego cannot distract you from this.
You are fulfilled with Her compassion.

Love,

Intuition and the Self

Monday, April 12th, 2010

Namaste,

Everyone craves happiness.
Yet if you want only instant gratification, you begin to immediately think of loss, because there is always an end to instant gratification.
Yet there is no beginning or ending to the love between you and your Beloved.
There is so much in your life that does not have to end.
In fact, when it comes to spiritual happiness, the more you live the greater the bliss.
Develop unflinching devotion to your Divine Self and find unflinching happiness.
Meditate on your spiritual heart, and this will awaken you from any staleness within.
Continue to practice as best as you can, day after day
Look for more happiness every day.
Make sure you are radiating joy and cheerfulness to others.
Bringing joy to others brings joy to your Self.

Instead of dwelling over the immensity of darkness in life and the impossible task of attempting to overcome it, one must continue to unravel the vision of the self.
The Self is always reachable.
We all know intuitively which path to follow to bring the Self into the forefront of life and to see spirituality in everyone.
There is infinite energy of spirit when you use your intuition.
There is nothing you cannot accomplish when you learn to listen to your intuition.
This is the reflection of your Divine Self.

Be moderate in everything that you do.
In this way you bring a rhythm to your day-to-day life.
You can use your intuition to seek calmness and happiness in your life.
Discovering the stream of Cosmic love will lead you to your Beloved, whoever that may be.
Keep going.

Love,

Intuition and the Beloved

Friday, January 29th, 2010

Namaste,
Question:

“What’s the difference between my intuition and my Beloved?  Is my Beloved my intuition? And if not, do I need to know where my intuition stops and my Beloved begins?”

Answer:

Whatever chakra you are focused on, give your full attention to that which holds your intuition in that moment.
Yet the most juice comes from the center of your skull and drips into your throat and your heart.
When you feel that your intuition is working for you in the moment, be still for awhile and listen to the heart of intuition.
What feels right?
Which way do you turn in the moment?
Do you accept your own intuition in the moment of using it?
Call on the Mother of Intuition, who moves around the different chakras, taking what you need to lead you to the right choice.

Intuition is simply the answer to choice, or choices.
The Mother of Intuition is an atmosphere of pure devotion.
Everything is there in the Mother’s arms.
All the different cells unite, and the answers to so many questions become clear.
The breathtaking moment of listening to your intuition and it is proven to be the right choice brings such confidence.
There is no time in intuition, as it always changes.
The signature of your intuition is not to prove you are right or wrong.
It just is.
Your Beloved takes your ego thoughts and points the way to your own intuitive moment.
The Beloved is not your intuition, although He or She is always part of everything that is in you.

Knowing you are capable to listening to your intuition brings your Beloved so much joy.
Take a chance and listen with your heart.
Let your mind rest.
Discover a new generosity to yourself when you begin to use your intuition.
Intuition is ever abundant; it always was and always will be.
When you find enough silence within you, savor it and trust yourself.
It is very exciting.
It is very freeing
It all comes from the Source, the Beginning, and the Emptiness.

Love,
Ma Jaya

The Beauty of Compassion

Monday, November 30th, 2009

Namaste,

As we celebrate one holiday after another, we grow closer.

The gift of devotion becomes more available, and one becomes filled with compassion for everyone, as well as one’s self.

At times compassion is more important than love.

The beauty of compassion takes on love, yet love does not always have to be filled with compassion.

Beauty and color are sisters.

One cannot be without the other.

Life is a miracle within itself.

Look around you, and see the miracle of beauty that one cannot even begin to explain.

When this happens, you know in your heart that there is so much more to live and to learn.

Love and compassion run through the seeker, guided by the Mother – who watches and cares with such joy.

I am excited for you, and there is so much more to come.

I love you all.

Love,

Ma Jaya

Run to your Beloved

Tuesday, September 15th, 2009

Namaste,

There is no place as rich as the presence of your Beloved.
My Baba taught me this many years ago.
To run to the Beloved at times of stress helps one to consume all of life.
It is the Beloved who tears the veil from the inner eye.
It is the ego that keeps one in a frozen state that lacks any form of gratitude.
Life comes and life goes; it is the Beloved that never leaves.
The ego finds the gates of the mind and opens them easily.
The ego sneaks into the thoughts, and one thinks that these thoughts are the right thoughts.

Yet the heart feels heavy as one longs for the touch of the Beloved’s hand.
From the outer world the ego slips into the inner shrine; the ego floats in and attacks thoughts.
I have seen this happen so many times.
The inside scars that the ego leaves keeps one in clouds of illusion.
One seems to bend to his or her own will, yet it is the will of the ego.

Devotion keeps the heart open wide, joyful and full.
Thoughts pass as clouds in the sky.
The ego’s thoughts that rage against all that is good subside as one meditates on the Beloved.
The ego’s thoughts of selfishness are drowned in the enfolding waves of intuition brought about by the love of the Beloved.
And our hearts are lit by love.

I love you all.

Love,
Ma Jaya
