Pranaam!! I have started re-reading the blog posts of Swami ji. Though I have read maximum of blog posts written by Swami ji earlier but to recapitulate and for deeper understanding, I started re-reading these posts from the beginning i.e. from very first post written on 7th June,2011 under the title 'My truth'. My experience is simply mind blowing. A deep contemplation and wider understanding are needed to fully grasp the hidden message in these articles. Though on the face of it, it looks like a small post, but if I try to delve on it, it is as deep as Ocean and may be much deeper than the Ocean. My small mind with limited capacity generally loses the patience to go further. I used to think that I have the capacity to decipher the message quickly which is not true. After clearing Civil Services Examination [which is considered as toughest exam in India], such false sense of pride generally falls on the person who clears it. In many failed attempts to get something out of the written blogs by Swami ji, i take pause and try to re-read what is written. I amused sometimes, how wonderfully Swami ji has woven the language with so much of wisdom in few lines.
On helplessness of my mind, I recall the beautiful lines of famous Aarati....
".... मैं मूरख खल कामी
मैं सेवक तुम स्वामी,
कृपा करो भर्ता...."
Actually, I seek Kripa of Swami ji to fully understand the real meaning of what is written. It seems that Swami ji has answered almost all possible questions which may arise in anybody's mind. I visited Sri Badrika Ashram last month and that time I had few queries in my mind. During personal audience, I thought to ask those questions but due to paucity of time, I could not ask those questions. Now see, on reading these posts, I found that Swami ji has already replied to those questions in detail. Thank God, I did not raise those questions at that time to waste energy of Swami ji.
I think before even thinking about any question to be raised before Swami ji, one should browse Os.me blog for its reply first. It is highly possible that a detailed answer must be available on the blog/ you tube video/books. This will save precious time of Swami ji. I saw myself how Swami ji was fully occupied and got tired also due to the group meetings and personal audience. It can be minimized by reading and reading his blog/you tube videos/books first.
For example, I had several queries in my mind on the possibility of real Darshan of Goddess or Bhagwan to a normal person. Now see the beautiful and deep answer given by Swami ji in his very first post 'My Truth' [Originally sent on E-mail] which is as follows:
" If you believe that the Divine has a form, you can see his form in this very lifetime. If you believe that the Divine is formless, you can experience deep absorption (samadhi) in the foreseeable future. That is what I experienced multiple times. Your world is made up of your thoughts. If your world has a God in it and all your thoughts, all the time, are about Him, His very form will manifest before you.
If your world has bliss and all your thoughts, all the time, are focused on such bliss you will experience such bliss. That is a tough ask though because a perfectly stable and still mind is required to meditate on one thought for prolonged periods. It can be achieved with an initial intense effort."
Completely bold out.....to understand this passage in real sense, a deep contemplation and intellectual analysis is required. The articles written by Swami ji looks like Shrimad Bhagavad gita which needs reading, re-reading and re-reading and re-reading to confer new meaning every time.
I can see easily that time will come when research thesis will be written on Swami ji's work. Many universities across the globe will confer PhDs on successful research on Swamiji's writing as it is happening on the work of Tulsidas ji, Kabir Das ji and many other revered Saints of this Country at present.
