Words from the Master

It is very easy to go by another’s decision and blame them at the end of it. Don’t ever do this. It is the most foolish and cowardly thing to do. Never blame anyone for anything. Remember, only when you are unable to handle something, you will blame others for it.

Yes…

Swamiji… how should we be relaxed always?

When your Consciousness is alert all the time, you will be relaxed all the time. Meditation is the key to achieving this state. At least at the intellectual level, understand this first. You will then start experiencing it for short intervals of time. These time periods can then be extended and finally become your permanent state.

I always tell people: To find out if a Master is a true Master, watch him when he is asleep. A real Master will appear like a flower when he is asleep. He will be totally relaxed and beautiful to look at when he is asleep. He will radiate a child-like innocence when he is asleep. An ordinary man on the other hand will appear tensed and tight when he is asleep.

A Master is always in a state of Super Consciousness and he sleeps only to relax his body. When you are continuously in a state of Consciousness or awareness, you can never be tense. Only when you allow yourself to fall into unconsciousness, into a state of delusion, you will create tension for yourself. The only way to be relaxed always is to be aware all the time of every single thing happening inside and outside yourself.

Learn to relax with awareness. When you are with a Master, if you allow yourself to relax, he will enter you; his state will penetrate you. If you are close and tense, he will not be able to enter you.

The word Upanishad itself means, ‘Sitting at the feet of the Master.’ If you are able to sit at the feet of the Master with an open and relaxed mind, he will enter you and work on you with all his compassion. No words will then be needed. He uses words only to keep you engaged while he tries to penetrate you. A Master can teach you how to relax.

When you relax in a Master’s presence, you are actually settling down in your own body, you are settling down in your own individuality, you feel relaxed in your own personality. Then there is no wedge inside yourself and you become integrated. So practice relaxing in the presence of the Master. That is the shortcut and ultimate way to relaxation. Yes…
