Are you affected by the physical, emotional and mental ups and downs in life?
Do you know that the pain or pleasure which we experience is transient?
Here’s a beautiful story by my Guru, Paramahamsa Nithyananda who is a living incarnation (fondly known as Swamiji):
Once a disciple went to his master and said: ‘Master, I am not able to sit for meditation. My legs ache, I feel distracted.’
The master just said: ‘It will pass’
After two weeks, the disciple went back to the master, this time saying: ‘I am able to meditate beautifully, I feel so aware and blissful.’
The same master again replied: ‘It will pass’
I would like to quote the Upanishad (ancient Vedic scriptures), which is a source of true knowledge. In the 8th verse of Isa Vasya Upanishad, it states that: –
I am a Nithyananda Yogi, living amidst all of you. By the grace of a living incarnation, Paramahamsa Nithyananda, he bestowed the space of completion and awakened the powers (Shaktis) through initiation (deeksha) in me. All Shaktis manifest from a space of Advaita (Oneness) with Sadashiva (the Ultimate Super Consciousness). These powers manifest through a deep feeling connection with the Divine.
I am a Nithyananda Yogi, radiating the state of Sadashiva which is a gift from Him. This is my original state – the state of Sadashivatva, the all-pervasive beyond the coming and going, absolute radiant and self-effulgent, un-embodied boundary-less Whole, woundless, muscleless having no incompletion with the body, the ever-pure space devoid of the dirt of ignorance and is untouched by the delusion of incompletion. Whenever I cognize any thought current that is lower than this truth, I simply drop it at His feet and get back to this pure state.
I am a Nithyananda Yogi, radiating the space of Sadashiva – a space of perpetual completion, a space of positivities, possibilities and powerfulness. Every day, the moment I become aware of myself, an intense excitement or enthusiasm to live that day happens. I experience life is dancing through this body, a feeling of being so alive, energetic and powerful. The space is also called Chidambara or HiranyaGarbha (Cosmic womb) which has the capacity to give birth to anything in the physical plane. Anything I plant as a Sankalpa (a seed of intention) in this space, the seed will sprout into a new reality – whether it is setting up a new company in Hong Kong, developing a new product from scratch, manifesting a new happening in life as I want it, causing other’s reality, creating abundance in life or manifesting new Shaktis playfully, you name it. Everything is possible in life when you understand the powerful Science of space creation. Whenever I am established in the space of Sadashiva, I am able to hold that space for anyone to experience a breakthrough in cognition, healing and transformation. I relate with children in their space called Space of a Child – a pure space of authentic listening and awareness. In this pure space, I can speak into the listening of children and adults where communication and communion happen. This understanding gives me the confidence and strength to inspire my child and hold a space of possibility for him to flower in his spiritual awakening. Whoever comes into my breathing space, I also hold a space of possibility for them to discover their ignorance and possibilities. With the space of Sadashiva, sometimes I travel in astral plane to different dimensions and planes by the prana (life energy) of Sadashiva.
Do you know that you are a part of the Universe?
Are you aware that your Soul comes from the Source – the Super Consciousness (also known as Sadashiva in Sanskrit)?
I was born in a Taoist family where deities worshop was common but I never really developed any feeling connection with the family deities. During my Secondary school, I gave Christianity a go by opting for Bible study as a subject to understand the teaching. Nothing clicked with my being during that 1-year of Bible study, everything appeared as a vague faded memory, it seemed that my heart somehow knew more than my mind. It was only when I started my journey of seeking triggered by my passion for Science of Yoga that I was led to discover the amazingly open architecture of Hindusim. Yoga is rooted in Hinduism – the source is from Vedic tradition and culture. The path of Yoga is an independent intelligence which can lead the sincere seekers back to its Source. Not only I was able to find answers to all my burning questions coming from my intellectual mind, I was also able to experience the space of completion (poornatva) and the infinite possibilities as pure consciousness. I just know I am at HOME, the space of truth – the reality as it is.
Since time immemorial, the rishis (Hindu sages or saints) of Vedic tradition heard the truth from the Source and compiled these revelations in the sacred scriptures known as Upanishad. The first Shanti mantra (peace chant) in IsaVasya Upanishad describes the introduction of YOU to you:
Om poornamadah poornamidam
Poornaat poornamudachyate
Poornasya poornamaadaaya
Poornamevaavashishyate
