Meditate within your body

Meditation is an inner journey to discover the self within the body. The first step of true astral travel is to journey through the entire body. As in the universe, so is in the body; all qualities like happiness, peace, desire, and jealousy are perfectly arranged inside. Your task is to take the torchlight of awareness and look at these qualities. Identify them by name, acknowledging each one. The mantra is the battery, the breath is the torch, your concentration is the direction, and your intellect pushes the button. Feel this body with gratitude, recognizing the divine presence within. You are rich; make a sightseeing tour of your inner world. Therefore, strive to realize and diagnose your own body to understand its subtle functions and energy flow. This body is given to realize the highest dimension.

"Who are you? 'I am Mrs. Tṛṣṇā.' Tṛṣṇā, the longing. Oh, thank you."

"Thus, the torch of your mantra—the mantra is the battery, the inner light—and the breath is the torch."

When you meditate—all spiritual aspirants, regardless of your religion or master—if you wish to be free from stress, mental disorders, and confusion, and if you wish to realize peace and contentment and enjoy real love, then during meditation, be within your body. People often make the mistake of going outside, forgetting what is within. Therefore, the first step, true astral travel, means to journey through the entire body. Yatha brahmāṇḍe tatha piṇḍi: as is in the universe, so is in the body. Happiness, peace, love, joy, the ātmā, memory, consciousness, mind, jealousy, anger, hate, confusion, conflicts, revenge, greed—all are inside. All are perfectly arranged. Your task is to take the torchlight and look at these qualities. Who are you? "I am Mrs. Tṛṣṇā." Tṛṣṇā, the longing. Oh, thank you. And who are you? "I am Mr. Desire." Oh, thank you. Who are you? "I am Jealous." Oh, relax, please. And, oh, who are you? "I am Śānti, peace." Then don't just be here, Śānti; be active. Let others relax. Or give them an injection so they have a long sleep. Thus, the torch of your mantra—the mantra is the battery, the inner light—and the breath is the torch. Your concentration is the direction, and your intellect pushes the button. So when you meditate or relax, feel this body. "Lord, thank you, thank you that I could be in this beautiful body. Thank you, Lord." It is not only me inside, but you too—Divine Mother, Kuṇḍalinī, Śakti, Prāṇa—all. You are so rich. Make a sightseeing tour of your inner world. That is meditation. Therefore, those who practice spiritual sādhanā, strive to realize and diagnose your own body. Then, understand the subtle functions within—how the energy flows. This body is given to you to realize the highest dimension, to ascend higher.
