Title: Dark Nite of the Soul Post by: Jitendra Hydonus on Dec 07, 2011 04:50 pm When you experience unconditional love and peace a wave of bliss over powers u and pushes sorrow out. In this sense the phrase 'dark nite of the soul' is wrong. The soul or atman has no darkness. The world is ever changing. The absolute alone is truth. The clouds assume different forms. Yet behind the dark clouds is only the vast blue sky. The sky is the truth. When we have likes/dislikes we have sorrow.
The flower comes and goes. It blossoms and then fades away. When we understand the nature of objects we know what darkness is. If we do not have this fundamental understanding, life will always bring sorrow. Darkness leads to expectations which cause sorrow. When we expect too much it can cause depression and can lead to anger. We might think; How can he/she be that way to me? Yet today's enemy can b tomorrow's friend. When we r overcome by negative emotions; God always seems far from us. Someone was in a lake and enjoying everything. Suddenly a storm came. The boat sank and he thought he was going to die. He found a post and hung on to it. He brought his hands up and said; "God is anyone going to save me?" He brought his arms down and felt the sand beneath him and realized he was close to shore. So actually we are very close to God. God is within us. When a person dreams he is beggar, no money will b of use. We die completely unaware of our real nature which is pure consciousness. We live as beggars even though we r kings. If we live with 'I and mine' it is very difficult to move away from this suffering. It is hanging like a huge burden on us. It is like crossing a huge ocean. When we think of others it is good. When one person cleans part of a lake that portion is clean. When others clean other parts soon the lake will b clean. ~Inspirations from satsang with Amma. Title: Being with Amma Post by: Jitendra Hydonus on Dec 13, 2011 04:35 pm i was fortunate to spend about a week with Amma last month. i was struck again by the spontaneity of her presentations as revealed in this post which was taken from a satsang given by her. She asked the audience to answer questions and then answered them from an inspiration that came directly from the revelation of God's presence. i have always enjoyed her satsangs which occur at the retreats. They show how no conscious thought seems necessary when one is in tune with God. All answers were provided instantaneously from a higher source.
i was fortunate to serve by playing some spiritual songs. It seems as though whenever i have played for her occasions there were some kind of blessings and lessons happening on anther level. i was able to ask her a question about Paramahansa Yogananda which she answered as if it was he himself who was talking. i know i have been graced by the presence of a couple of these souls who have no separation with spirit. The attitude changes and life itself has crossroads at this time. The significance can never b underrated.
