“Now we’ll work on the visualization.”
Now we’ll work on the visualization. I’ll try to guide you to live inside the whole body. Please understand: Dont think you are living using your whole body. You do not use your whole body. You do not live in the whole body. First thing: See , basically whatever concepts I am explaining here; See the concepts which I am expressing, all of you must have attended Gita. Or, if you attended any other discourses. But now I’m making the whole thing into the practical experience, by adding meditation techniques to it.
I’m making the whole thing into technology, like applied science, that’s the whole thing. As and now, we don’t live using our whole body. We live like a ghost, actually we live life like a ghost. The small example. You all must have walked, you all must have went out. Did any of you feel the coolness of the earth? Now after me telling you, remember: When you walk you don’t feel, you become insensitive to some parts of your body. Same way,if somebody touches ‘here’, you will know, but if somebody touches you ‘here’, you dont have the same sensitivity.
You don’t have the same sensitivity. One thing, if you see the kids, you can seethey will have the same sensitivity; what they have in the face and in the feet they’ll have the same sensitivity, same shining will be there. But in our case,both
will not be shining--------. That’s why I always tell people; Have you seen single ugly kid? You cant. Have you seen a single grown up beautiful man? You can’t, because--------the grace is lost when you start choosing one part of the body, when you start rejecting other part of the body, the grace is lost. First thing,when you suppress the left, these thoughts , we condition, teach to the kids to suppress the left, that is the first thing.
From then only the suppressing some parts of the body scars. Then by and by, you start suppressing and you stop using the whole body. You start living only with one part of the body. Now, of course if you have done NSP, one part of this meditation, you would have done it. Now,it’s the other part also, we are doing completely.
If you have done Bharatn NSP, you will have done the meditation technique. It is all about centring yourself into your body, instead of living like a ghost. You see, usually we live like a ghost only. For example, If I ask you to remember you. Close your eyes and just remember your name, of yourself. I’ll just ask you to remember, closing your eyes and remember you, You remember only this area, you don’t remember you completely. Why?
This not you? Let this also you, this is also you. But you remember only this portion, you don’t remember the whole body; From toe to head, part by part, inch by inch. Please understand, when I ask you tense your feet, visualize as if your feet is like a bean bag; your seen bean bag . Visualize, don’t think it is a solid thing, and it is not solid as you think. Please be very clear, your body is not solid.
It is pure liquid and energy. It’s a pure energy, that is why healing is possible. People ask me ‘Swamiji how do you heal so many tumours, so many diseases?’ Please understand, you think body is solid, that is why you think it’s a miracle, but it’s nothing, it’s a pure science; just pure science. How doctors use surgery, they do it physically. Meditation does it in the energy level. That is why disease related to psychosomatic: Meditation completely heals it and it disappears.
It just disappears ! I always tell people, disease related to anamaya kosha, means the, too gross. Those thing need surgery or allopathy. The disease related to psychosomatic level, energy; straightaway can be healed by meditation. Meditation is a straight way, which can heal the whole thing.
Now, let us centre yourself into your body. This is what I call ‘susta’; in Sanskrit we call the health. The word for health in Sanskrit is ‘susta’. Of course this word is not popular, that is why I use the word ‘arohi’ spurana . Arohis would have used the word ‘susta’ ----. Even though ’arohi’ is not full, susta is the right word.
Centred on your self. Completely centred on the being.That’s right thing to be done. Yes, now I think it’s time to do the meditation. You will stand up, and tense the body, part by part. I’ll guide you step by step. When I ask you to tense the feet, tense the feet. Visualize them like a bean bag, and just squeeze them mentally, and you will see immediately, theyr’e getting -------, you are infusing awareness into that part. You are infusing awareness into that part.
One more thing,all pain happens to you because you don’t give enough attention to your body. When you don’t give attention to people, they will naturally create pain for you. Same thing also body does; nothing else. Same thing, when you don’t give attention to them; Naturally, they want attention.
All sounds which we hear in the kitchen, when you sit in the sofa, is attention need. If your’e hearing some loud noise in the kitchen, asking for attention, and body also asking for attention. Now, we are infusing attention into the -----part.
When you do this meditation, when you do this visualization; Of course this can’t be called as meditation. You see, there are a few categories; like a hotel, hotel standard. All those things are there only then can be called as hotels, otherwise it’s a motel. So that’s why I pulled the last thing we did, is a kriya . It did not have all the components of meditation, meditation technique.
By its own right it must be able to give you physical, mental, ultimate enlightenment. But, these techniques will not give you enlightenment by it’s own right. They will just create only health. So these are called like a kriya and visualization techniques.
So, the techniques which you are going to do now, also like a motel, it’s not a hotel. They don’t have right to credit you on their own. They will not be able to take you to that extent. Just visualize, that, that part of the body is bean bag, and squeeze them mentally. When I ask you to come to the next calf-muscle, come to that area and forget the feet.
And squeeze them, or tense the calf-muscle area. When I ask you to come to the knee, then come to the next level. Step by step, infuse awareness into the whole body. This is a first step. Second step. Very important thing; according to ayurveda, we believe every part of your body inhales and exhales; every part of your body breathes.
Please understand; you do not breathe only through nose; every inch, every part individually breathes. That is why people who have mastered the breathing technique, the yogis, they will sit under a cave, they will sit inside the underground where there will be no air circulation. They will stay there three days, four days.
I can give you one easily, where Gomela, so many sadhus, they bury their head inside, and stay there for three days. They will sit inside the underground, they will stay there for ten days, something like that. No possibility of having the air, no air circulation is possible. But they will be able to sit, because every inch, every energy centre of your body, directly takes akasha’s energy, ether from the space, it inhales and exhales.
This second part of the meditation is based on that concept. The second part, visualize as every part of your body is inhaling and exhaling. I’ll guide you step by step. Now the second part. First part, you will be tensing the whole body; step by step from toe to head. Second part, you will be inhaling and exhaling from head to toe. First, you will visualize your head, not only through nose, through eyes, through ears, through every pore, you are inhaling and exhaling. Visualize your body is porous; Just your inhaling and exhaling. I tell you,what we call--------in sanskrit will happen to your body.
Cajous is not which comes by cream. Understand? -----which comesby the self effulgence. When you infuse etheric energy into your body, when you infuse the prana shakti. One more thing I want you to understand. Prana does not mean just air! Prana is the energy which goes through air. When you do this visualization, the prana shakti will start flowing into the all parts of your body. Naturally, you will start radiating; You will start radiating the------..
