SIMPLE MEDITATION

Meditation is nothing but a hearty breathing in more meaningful, delightful and regularly without disturbing.

Before going to sleep put off the light, sit on your bed, close your eyes and exhale through the mouth with a sound ‘oh’. I am saying simple ‘oh’. It will become ‘oum’ automatically. And this sound ‘aum’ is the deepest sound, the most harmonious, the most basic.

When it happens and you enjoy and you flow in its music your whole body and brain relax. With the sound ‘aum’ you will go on relaxing and your sleep will have a different quality.

When you exhaled completely and you feel that now no more exhalation is possible, the whole breath has gone out, stop for a single moment. Don’t inhale, don’t exhale—just stop for a single moment and be a witness – just look what is happening. Witness the whole situation, there in, that single stopped moment. Time is no more there, because time moves with the breaths, breathing is the process of time. In that stopping you can aware of the deepest source of your being and energy. So for a moment stop. Then inhale.

One point to remember here, make all effort to exhale, but don’t make any effort to inhale; just let the body take the inhalation. You don’t do anything. That too is beautiful and work wonders

You have exhaled, stopped for a moment, then you allow the body to inhale. You don’t make any effort to inhale; you simply watch the body taking the inhalation. You will face a deep silence surrounding you, because you know your effort is not needed for life, life breathes itself. Your effort is not needed, your ego is not needed- you are not needed. Deep silence will be felt.

When the body has taken full inhalation, stop for a single moment again. Again watch.

These two moments are totally different. When you have exhaled completely and stopped, that stopping moment is just like death. When you have inhaled totally and then stopped that stopping is the climax of life.

Inhalation is equivalent to life, exhalation equivalent to death. So exhale as totally as possible; that will give you a death moment. That is beautiful because a death moment is the most silent, the most peaceful- that is NIRVANA. Then let the body inhale to the full, and then stop that moment is a life moment- feel it and feel both. That is why I say stop twice- when you have exhaled and when you have inhaled – So you can feel both life and death. These two moments are very significant, you know this is life and this is death. You have transcended both.

LIFE PLUS

A rose is a rose is a rose. You are alive, you are living, and this is life. Now experience life in a more meaningful way – look into the source of your liveliness, source of your life energy- just go in – forget everything, the whole world. Even for a few moments as if you are alone. Going deep into the life reveals that life is a mystic to be experienced, but it can not be explained. That is why I said “A rose is a rose is a rose.”

And the rose is something out side you, but life is all that you are. But for thousands of years you have been conditioned not to live, just survive. You have been told by the religions to renounce everything that can give you a taste of life.

My effort is just opposite of all religions. I don’t want to the category of life-negative people. I am utterly in love with life.

My approach is life-affirmative. You dance, you sing, you love, you meditate. In different ways, try to feel your aliveness. What ever you are doing do it so intensely and so totally that your full life starts functioning, that you start throbbing.

Wild or not to be wild !

What is wrong in being wild ? I don’t see anything wrong in it. To be too civilized may be dangerous- a little wildness is good. In a better world, with more understanding about human nature, we will keep a balance between civilization and wildness. And it is the source of creativity and innovation.

If your wildness is not destructive to anybody, it is perfectly religious. If your wildness is just your expression of your freedom and it is not in interference with any body else’s freedom – if it is not a trespass on anybody else’s life, liberty – it is perfectly good.

Be Erotic or Not to be Erotic !

A man whose eros is fully alive is a master. On the other words destroying eros, like making human being slaves. A man whose eros is fully flowering does not bother about anything. A man who is really in love with life and enjoying it will not bother about becoming the President or Prime Minister of a country. The man who is really living his eros will not even go to the church or temple. Because he has found real temple. Love is his prayer.

A person whose eros has been killed become very weak. Haven’t you seen a bull or an ox ? The erotic freedom of bull when destroyed it becomes an ox. An ox is a poor specimen. A bull is something alive. The bull is so erotic, such a perfect eros. And look at an ox pulling a bullock cart – a slave.

Destroying eros will make mankind to be slaves. That is what it has been done up to now. In the future eros, has to become the religion. Love should be the worship. Eros is the source of creativity, love, affinity, humanity and ultimately the God.

Joy is very simple. If you allow life to flow through you in a natural way, joy is a natural phenomenon. Let the erotic instincts be liberated in natural way, in spontaneous way and in harmony with others (not by the application of force or interfering others freedom or rights). And it does not wait at the end of the journey, it here, it is now… Right Now…..

Don’t listen to anybody. Whatsoever you enjoy, enjoy it and accept its consequences – because there will be consequences. If you enjoy sleeping you cannot become a very rich man; only the people suffering from insomnia can become rich.

So Live joyously, guiltlessly, live totally live intensely. And then heaven is no more metaphysical concept, it is your won experience.
