Yogī Janokhī Yoga Nidrā: A Guru Pūrṇimā Discourse
Yoga Nidrā, the conscious sleep, is realized through satsaṅg. On Guru Pūrṇimā, satsaṅg is received. Satsaṅg means company of truth. Truth is what exists in past, present, and future. That truth is God alone. The guru reveals the way to truth. Through satsaṅg, life progresses, bringing love, devotion, and detachment. An insect in a flower is carried to the saint via a garland. Likewise, the seeker reaches God through the guru’s grace. Many from distant lands follow this path. Their devotion is deep, their service humble. They realize non-violence, abstaining from meat. The rare saint knows Yoga Nidrā: awake within sleep. In that sleep, consciousness perceives the inner light. Ordinary sleep is unconscious. The yogi’s sleep is alert awareness. This is the teaching of the saints.
"Sat means truth. What is the truth that stays in the future, in the past, and in the present? That truth is only God."
"Through that mala, the germ comes to the holy saint. Just like that, the holy saints, the beloved Gurudev, bring us to God."
