Title: A Silent Meditation Gathering with Invocations

A silent meditation gathering with invocations.

For some time, joint practice was not held. Now bhajans, mantras, and meditation resume, with something new tried for a week. The outer form is irrelevant. The inner self alone matters. A simple eye exercise leads to inner awareness. The Bhakti sings the yoga mantra softly, without intensity. This mantra comes from Gurujī and Mahāprabhujī. It is the real yoga. No instrument is required; the mantra lives within. Sit quietly for half an hour. Place the hands over the eyes. Feel this in the heart. Draw light from the inner light. Everything within is a single unity. After meditation, share the inner experience. Now remain in silence. Hari Om.

“Through them we will all be in our inner self.”

“Your mantra is within you, and it brings itself to your heart.”

For two or three years we did not have much practice together. Of course, we practiced at home, but it was not the same. Now we will do more of our practice—our bhajans, mantras, and meditation. In these three we will bring something new, and perhaps it is better to try it for at least a week and see how it goes. All of you sitting here have learned and practiced a great deal. And we have come very far—very far indeed—no matter whether one wears a dress like mine or yours; it is our inner self that matters. In our inner self, the whole twenty‑fourth principle, it goes on forever. So, it will be very beautiful. Today we are doing a wonderful exercise. It involves the eyes—how do you say?—eyes, seeing. Yes, seeing. And there will be something. Through them we will all be in our inner self. Yes, exactly. And this is already with you, we know. The Bhakti will sing, or we will do japa—whatever you call it. Give me time with this, your practice, your instruments, and so on. Siddha Purījī, Siddha Purījī… Siddha Purījī, morning or evening. Singing will be very good, but it does not need to be very… how do you say? It should not be too intense. So take it as you wish. And Bhakti, so you will sing this, and indeed, Yogī Janakī, Yogī Nanden, wonderful. We know exactly what Yoga is, as we have said in the Yogī Janakī Yog Śāstra. Some have studied it, but we will not go deeply into that now. That is also very good, but the real one is this. And that is what Gurujī said. Mahāprabhujī gave this. So this is the yoga mantra. Can you? Okay. Is anyone here a practitioner of Yogī Janakī? No one? Okay, no problem. Relax. Purījī, Purījī… Purī, with your mantra, with your mālā—whatever you have or don’t have, that is no problem. Your mantra is within you, and it brings itself to your heart. Do not think outwardly. Many of us say a little something, and so on. But it is not easy for us to remain in one point, to continue like this internally. I will not speak any more, and so we will sit for half an hour. You can draw this light from the inner light; everything in you is one and a half, a single number. Afterwards you will have to tell me: “I really meditated very inwardly and not at all outwardly.” And if there is nothing, I can also show it, so I will not say anything now. Speak—I will also stay in my heart. Take your hands and place them over your eyes, and feel them in your heart. Hari Om.
