Divine discourse of Param Pujyashri Maharajshri
Meditation b
6:47- 13:30
We work less with our hands but more with mind and heart. That’s why in Swamiji’s Sadhna there is predominance of contemplation, of chanting of meditation, but very less is needed from the action from the body.
We are chanting on the rosary, the fingers are moving, but, in this chant if the mind is not connected, then it is like a tape recorder. Totally mechanical. How valuable that’ll be, Lord knows.
So, the first thing that we understood today is that Swamiji Maharajshri’s methodology of Sadhna is mental worship. What do we need to do in this? What kind of emotions do we need to have in this? Mental or imaginative.
Imagination, like, you are sitting in your room right now, at home, you entered your place. You removed the cloth covering Shri Adhishtaan ji or open the door for it and bowed. After bowing you sit and burn the incense or dhoop. Just think ladies and gentlemen that first you’ll light the lamp, or the incense, whatever maybe your order. It does not matter. You burned the incense. What for? One needs to think about it. Why are you burning it? Do you want to give fragrance to the Lord? What would the Lord do with the fragrance? History vouches for it, that wherever Lord appears, the atmosphere gets filled with fragrance. This is the sign of his presence. It’s clear, the room does not have his presence, so you are burning the incense, that the Lord is present there now. So why was the incense stick burned? Such that the environment gets filled with fragrance and we feel the Lord there.You lighted the lamp, etc, etc.
What does the fragrance of the incense stick tell us? What does the dhoop tell us? Even if you stop it, the smoke of the dhoop the fragrance of the incense stick will reach there, where you are not even sitting..it will go out, and people outside will know that mummy has lighted the incense stick, as if, if it reminds us of the omnipresence of the Lord then it is worthwhile. Otherwise mechanical. Now you are sitting at that place, where the omnipresent Lord is seated. Why? The environment is filled with fragrance. They say that wherever there is fragrance, Lord is present. Now you are feeling the presence of the Lord, now your worship begins.
For today, only this much. Well, we know for sure, that the methodology of our worship is mental. It’s not object based. If we use any object then it is in preparation for the mental worship.
Raaaaaauum.
