Yoga is efficiency in action

The difference between an ordinary monkey and Hanuman - the extraordinary monkey worshipped as God is: Hanuman worked purely out of shraddha – commitment. His efficiency stemmed from commitment.

When real meditation has happened in you, you acquire the capacity to visualize the next 10 to 15 steps and out of this deep intelligence stems creativity. This creativity and visualization when offered as service is real seva or service. Then, you are a real sevak. Else, you are just a worker. A worker is one who just does what he is told and keeps quiet.

Tomorrow is Dvajarohana – flag hoisting ceremony for the 10-day Jayanti festival. When an ordinary man hoists a flag, it is a prayer to the Gods to bless. When an enlightened person hoists the flag, it is a command to the Gods to be present! For the next 10 days, this place will be at its peak of energy with a congregation of all the divine beings in the energy plane. If you are alive and alert, you will experience the surfacing of these energies from within your very self!

For the next 10 days, try not to operate out of fear or greed but out of pure commitment and dedication. Work with great intensity. Meditation is not closing your eyes and sitting in a corner. The intensity is the meditation. The intensity is what causes the transformation within.
