Traveler Worshiper

oh lord I need your

mercy and grace

to cross ocean of samasara.

I need in abundant

for I do not have great guru.

neither ability to recognize one.

my mind like a

cart wheel stuck in mud.

refuse to move out of samsara

 

I am sinner who have hurt people

in words, action and thought.

Addicted to sensual pleasure

Struggling to remember your name.

faith I can put in

gold and men

not in your holy name.

oh lord I need your

ocean of mercy and grace.

 

 

I know what is good.

I am unable to follow.

I know what is evil

I am unable to resist.

sorry oh! lord

even what is good and bad

this humble dog

cannot  distinguish many times.

 

I say things which should not be

I do things which are non essential.

 on people’s action and life

I try to act as judge and jury

for I know that your work.

in the morning of life

I started with lot of hope.

it is mid day

I have lost seeking itself.

Ii hope to see u before evening of life.

 

many saints and intelligent people

have been deluded with your powers of maya.

do not test this dog

for I am too weak in will.

come soon, come near me

for i want to feel your presence

clasping your hand

 I want to end innings of life.

 

I see death and does not remember

thy name,

I see your mercy and compassion

in all creatures.

Ii forget on and off.

bless me so that this confusion

is over for ever

 

Ii want to bath in your grace

and abandoned the clothes of samasara.

u have given me many things

yet contentment is yet to come.

like a oil maker ox

I go round and round

in this game of delusion and illusion.

for I need your grace and mercy

to remember your holy name.

 

instead chanting your name

I fanaticize to possess magical powers

I worshipped as a saint

Such is foolish fake ways of thinking

I am not learned in Sanskrit

Or holy texts.

I can pronounce holy verses with error

such is level of ignorance

A simple way I want to remember your name

Just like how I remember myself .

 

I complain all the time

Either about your creations or you.

Little challenged I howl as pain.

Even in joy

I do not remember u with gratefulness

I want to others change

For I believe pompously

I am too perfect.

I seek company to boost my ego

Not for praying in silence.

When some thing happens to grace.

Shamelessly I want to take the credit.

Such is my reckless way.

Show me the way oh lord.

Change me like grape become wine.

Fit enough served in your presence.

 

with little powers given by u.

I boast about my greatness

instead of yours.

with little success my ego

gets inflated.

with little good Ii try to do

I demand eternal gratefulness.

with little insight

Ii try to believe that i have

understood mystery of life.

Fanciful theory and models

of science

I try to define u

oh unfathomable master.

I think i am special

With little tricks in sleeves

Like  a sleazy magician

I delude people

Yet think this is holy work.

Believe that I am

Made for some noble  purpose

For ant in your kingdom

Does more work than me

 

Even in prayers in fantasize on

This and that.

Such is my deluded mind

like  a pompous donkey

I talk on life and living

when I have 1000 holed life.

I see people more holier than me

I see action of people more loving.

when can I  hope to achieve these states

 

may I seek only your mercy and grace

like hungry men seeking food.

thirsty person seeking water.

like a child seeking his parents.

I seek your grace due to your grace.

king of love wave  of compassion.

I have missed u today in  1000 ways.

for many life time.

 I fear this time also

to miss u.

when this will ever stop.

 

Even writing these verses

I am thinking whom to send

And how people will appreciate.

I do not think of changing myself

Learning holy lessons of humility

Such is little tricks I play.

 

When will this little I

Disappear in your holy thou.

lord I need your

mercy and grace

to cross tempest and tempting

ocean of samasara.

The magical world of illusion

Where water becomes wind

Wind becomes water.

What a Guru’s blessings can do?

To the holy feet of Purshotananda .

To the holy feet of swami Shanathaanada.

To the holy feet of Desika Kirtie.

The words of great men have power. Ordinary people’s words do not have power and their words are like paper bullets. Yogi’s words carry power, effect and energy. Following effects will be seen.

Blessing of guru will purify the soul dross, the aura will expand it will become brighter. Chakras will spin faster and anthakarana will become bigger.

Physically after the blessing one can feel euphoric tiredness. A sense of peace comes in to the heart. One feels in tune with the universe, sense of purpose and next soul lesson will become clear. One own’s consciousness will become ready for next leap with bursting of karmic seeds. One will be affected mental, physical, emotional and energy wise. When a great saint blesses the desires will come true very fast.

The same effect can be experienced by doing guru pooja and going to sacred places. If one find difficult to handle the energy then one need to develop the attitude of blessing of excessive energy to lineage and friends. One can dedicate the merit for the welfare of the world if one finds energy is too high.

How to get connected to the divine?

My teacher used to say that “many people’s inner connection is switched off and that is the reason for so many struggles in their life”.

When the inner radio is switched off one feels that their life has no meaning and there is so much inner struggle. Also there is sense of restlessness, meaninglessness, one feels uprooted and lack of inner peace. Also there is fear, doubt and confusion. For some, they experience sense of intense hatred, synchronicity. One wants to do some thing but cannot exactly know what one wants to do. Every thing is there and yet something is missing. These are some signs of lack of interconnection .master Choa, founder of pranic healing calls this as inner connectivity, the great Patanjali calls as pratibha, the Indian calls it as rtam, the Sufi calls it khidir, Christians calls it as voice of god.

Following are the ways one can feel connected with the inner radio.

• Go To Kstera And Offering Pooja.

• Meeting Holy People and Take Their Blessing.

• Doing Japa.

• Connecting Tongue and Palate.

• Deep Breathing

• Checking the Swara Flow.

• Going To Temples and Lighting Lamps.

• Focusing On Navel Chakra And Checking The Sensation.

• Being Kind In Words.

• Thanking God Again And Again Till One Experiences Peace.

• Invocation Of Divine, Requesting For Divine Help And Then Blessing.

• Speaking Truth Sweetly.

• Saying Sorry When U are Hurt with Some One

• Doing What Feels Right Which Bring Happiness In The Situations.

• Fasting.

• Pranayama Shat Kriya.

Some of these methods listed above works well even though no explanation of the process can be given. When the flow starts one’s own life will be filled with meaning, joy, happiness and a sense of peace will prevail.

MEDITATION -MASTERING HABIT QUICKLY

To the holy feet of Purshotananda .

To the holy feet of swami Shanathaanada.

To the holy feet of Desika Kirtie.

Many a times people want to practice long hours of meditation but unable to do so. They get frustrated and disappointed over a period of time and give up. The practice is sporadic. The following ways will help you to have consistent meditation practice.

Be activity focused- just do meditation. Forget on posture, breathing, experience etc. just do it day in and day out. This is best way to begin. Many a times people try to reach perfection in meditation in one go which will never happen. The simple rule is practice every day.

Be time focused- just do for 45minutes to one hour. One can not sit easily in meditation for 45 minutes to one hour. It will require some training. Mind will be restless and will pull you here and there. Just sit for 45 minutes this is the best way.

Aim for 48days. Do not break this time limit. It will become habit unconscious and easy to practice once you reach 48 days. All resistance, problems and difficulties will come and subside in this period. Even posture can be mastered by the same method. Aim for one minute of back straight, and then do it for 5 minutes. Once you reach that limit then raise the bar to 10 minutes. This will be easy way. Congratulate yourself and appreciate yourself for every barrier u break. Review yourself and be positive with internal dialogue. You should appreciate yourself when you reach a barrier. After few minutes of celebration focus on where you have to reach next. This is called as dual motivation.

Keep the activity first in the priority- mind gets imprinted what you do first in the day. When u go to sleep affirm what u will do the next day. This is one of the best way to master any habit. What you visualize is what you become.

Simple steps- let me sum up

• Be activity focused.

• Then time focused.

• Then focus on small goals for perfection of techniques.

• Practice every aspect for 48days.

• Be positive and appreciative for every level you reach.

• Do meditation as first activity of life.
