Meditate on the lord ~ Swami sivananda


Meditate on the lord
Meditate on the lord, the inner ruler, the indweller of your heart.
the lotus of your heart will blossom.
the sun of wisdom will shine.
the darkness of the heart will end.
the five klesas ( psychic sources of sorrow) will be annihilated.
the three fires (internal, external and supernatural suffering) will be extinguished.
sins and samskaras (mental impressions) will be burnt.
vasanas ( egoic tendencies) and cravings will be fried.

Meditate on the eternal
which is free from pain, from disease, from fear and delusion,
which is all-filling, pure, far yet near,
the birth place of the five elements,
the final goal of yogis and sages,
the source of mind, senses and vedas,
the place where silence reigns supreme,
where there is immortal bliss beyond thought, the supreme, glorious splendour,
where thought is dead,
where there is neither noise nor fight.

Purity, humility and mercy are the rungs of the ladder to the supreme abode of my beloved.
you may burn the ladder now - i will not come down any more.
rivers of honey run in this wonderful land, and flowers do not fade at any time.
I swim daily in the ocean of eternity.
I drink the immortal nectar.
Hunger and thirst torment me not.
Exhaustion and fatigue trouble me not.
There is no need of lamps and electric light - there is eternal sunshine.
There is no fear of snakes and scorpions - this deathless realm makes everyone fearless.

When you have realized oneness, when you behold brahman everywhere,
can there be 'here' and 'there'?
can there be 'this' and 'that'?
can there be 'i' and 'you' and 'he'?
can there be one, two or three?
one homogeneous, blissful essence alone exists.

There is only one brahman - the infinite.
all dualities, differences, and distinctions melt away.
the seer and the seen become one.
the meditator and the meditated fuse.
the thinker and the thought blend.
the knower and the knowable merge.
it is the transcendental experience of wholeness, perfection, fullness, freedom and perennial joy.
