Understand and follow your Guruji
The inner dialogue between the jīvātmā and the ātmā is the path to self-realization, requiring unwavering trust in the master.
Sādhanā is for sincere seekers, prepared through focused commitment well in advance. Trust in the master removes doubt; doubt arises from within and only the self can dispel it. The master leads to Brahmaloka, so concentration stays there, not on outer judgements. A bhajan reveals the ātmā instructing the jīvā: the jīva fears leaving the body due to past lives’ experiences, clinging to safety. The ātmā urges it inward, where merging occurs—like milk becoming butter, then ghee. This inner light is found by turning to the heart. Meditation means entering the ātmā, the jīvātmā, not running after external beauties. Trees and colors delight the eyes but remain outside; bring that happiness within. The jīva must walk alone; no outside help carries it forever. Ultimately, merge like a flower whose fragrance never dies. Live giving good thoughts, love, and cause no harm. Doubt leaves one empty, like a pot spilled dry. Steady trust keeps the path clear through all obstacles.
"Always when you meditate, try to come to your ātmā, your jīvātmā, and be with you inside."
"The ātmā said, 'My dear, this body was only for this life, supporting you to grow further.'"
