Sri Sri Mahatmyam- Series Part 7



Uniqueness

Sri Sri is very special in many ways. He has never forced us with strict rules and regulations. This was in the initial days of mine in the Art of Living ashram. Most of them were clad in white. I loved blue color and said to myself,"Sky is blue,Krishna is blue, I love blue..sorry! I cannot like white." Gurudev immediately said,'Ha..Blue is also a great color. " As though to say, You can be your unique self. Nobody is forcing you to accept everything that is around you.

If we follow others then world is missing out the wonderful unique self of you ,for why you have been created by the Divine. Dive deep into your unique self by doing 'Sahaj meditation'. Sahaj meditation takes you very deep into your own self. Here, we get mantra from our Guru(Or teachers assigned by the Guru) to do the meditation. There are several mantras out in the world, the mantra given by the Master is truly special. It just makes meditation effortless. It is time honored meditation ;-) as well.

“It is better to live your own destiny imperfectly than to live an imitation of somebody else's life with perfection.” -Bhagavadgeetha

Mantra of today:

Vedaham etam purusam mahantam
Adityavarnam tamasah parastat

TRANSLATION
This Great Being, effulgent as the sun, beyond the boundaries. Before our realization, this Great Being quenched our heart’s thirst. After our realization, we feed the Soul’s hunger of this Great Being.

Alright...Stay tuned next Thursday for another story of our Master.
