“When the yogi turns off his mind, the play, or the program, ends. It’s just like turning off a television set. When you want to see the program, you press the ‘on’ button. If you want to watch it, it is there; and when you don’t want to watch anymore, you turn the TV off and the program disappears. The on and off button of the mind is in the yogi’s hand, under his perfect control. If you have something and you can let go of it anytime you want, what does that mean? It means you are not attached to it. You do not possess it and it doesn’t bind you. Whether you have it or not, you don’t care. This is detachment. Like this, the yogi is in a supreme state of detachment.”

Real bliss is within 

Hello 🙂 

“Just as the flower falls away when the fruit takes shape, worldly desires will disappear when detachment ripens. No desire can bind such a person afterwards, whether he lives at home or in the forest. One who has established God-realisation as his goal will not attach any importance to anything else. He has already understood that nothing physical is permanent and that real bliss is within” ~ Amma

Another way of touching on this area, is to perceive – fully, without holding back – that what we want and what we need are rarely related. I’m sorry to break it – if it is news – to you, but it’s true. And yet, in every single moment we are getting exactly what we need. 

The Free Online Group Healings are now weekly. I hope you are as pleased about this as I am 🙂 Other than dates I cannot do, I have begun scheduling these weekly instead of fortnightly. The link below will allow you to book them. The next Free Online Group Healing is Friday 20th September @ 1pm London time. If you feel drawn to do so, please let your friends / fam / etc. know by sharing this link with them.

I thought I would share some of my notes from Amma’s U.S. Tour with you now. During Oakland program, Amma explained to us in a speech that we must never try to compare ourselves with others. Instead, always see from the perspective of the True Self. 

During the Washington D.C. program, there was a public Q&A and a young woman (probably 20 or thereabouts) asked a beautiful question concerning what to do when, although we do not express anger  or resentful feelings to a person directly, when we walk away from the conversation with them, these are still going on in our mind. Amma said, if we introspect, we will find that the anger we feel towards someone really arises from expectations or from being judgemental. She continued, saying that sadness also gets expressed as anger or as revenge. We do not understand the mental state of the other person. The world is like a mental asylum, with each of us being either crazy or on the verge of being crazy. 

Although a snake may be frozen in ice, if it is left in the sun the ice will melt and the snake will all-of-a-sudden rise up and could bite us. Only by going through the circumstances of life, will we understand what our own latent tendencies are.

If we get into conflict with someone, immediately we should move away from the situation and contemplate – go within. In order to become aware of the gap between our thoughts and actions, we need patience. Amma said that each situation is our Guru, our Teacher. Seeing any person as a mirror for ourself, we will learn a lot. 

Anger is a double-edged sword, with which we get hurt first. Or it could be likened to a hot iron ball : when we throw it at someone, we get hurt first. 

However, if an animal like a deer is eating our vegetable patch, it is no good saying, “My dear, dear, dear deer, please stop eating the vegetables.” Instead, we need to take a stick, wave it at the deer and shoo it away with words. 

The world is like an examination hall. We need to go through many circumstances in life in order to learn all the lessons. Amma said that we may fail when facing a situation, but never give up. 

‘Awareness’ was the only word which Amma used repeatedly in English throughout this Q&A (the rest being in Malayalam as usual), which I found interesting. Amma continued : whatever action we perform, the first 10% is not within our control. But the following 90% is within our control. If through having the proper awareness, we can make the initial action as positive as it can be, then the rest will follow accordingly. In order to develop such awareness, we need to do spiritual practices like meditation or Archana (the 1000 Names) regularly. 

Amma finished by saying to the woman directly, “Whatever your conscience tells you to do, you should do that.” 

I am currently in London offering in-person sessions until the 16th September and will come to you if you live within tube Zones 1 or 2.

Breaking Into Bhakti

Hello 🙂

How are you?

I am very well indeed and am now writing to you from London 🙂 

At the end of my stay in Amritapuri, which was filled with peace and happiness this time, I found myself sitting on the floor of the main hall for bhajans. My flight was to leave later on that night, so (in a way) I was saying goodbye to Amma. 

I’m going to try to convey what it feels like to be with this Living Master and perhaps a tiny bit of what She is doing with our paths to God-realisation. It is difficult to do so, partly because you have to have really stayed with Amma for a good amount of time to grok this, and partly because it is so tricky to communicate in words what is totally beyond words. Nevertheless, I feel to try. 

There was a particular bhajan which Amma sang that night which seemed to crack me open completely. I often feel that She takes us from a sort-of habitual mundane emotional state to the uppermost heights of what the passion for Divinity is capable of; and it can happen in a split second when She sings. All She needs is a tiny crack – a hair’s breadth of space – in which to reveal the Great Mystery in all its glory. As I was sitting there singing with everyone, this happened to a whole new degree. Amma leaves the very best til last 😉 

As my heart burst with longing, I started sobbing uncontrollably and there was a surrender which felt almost physical and beyond physicality at the same time, as if my heart opened from the front to the back (spine) and outwards, beyond…….. What I was feeling was a blend of the most immense gratitude, with joy – pure joy – and devotional Love (Bhakti). As my system underwent Amma’s ‘surgery’, I felt the return to Innocence, unconditional Love and the perception (as if for the first time) of what She is doing with us all. I could see in that moment, that Amma is the salvation for the whole of humanity. Ric Weinman once told me that She “has the long-haul job of transforming the heart of humanity” and Adyashanti once created a series about what he describes as ‘Redemptive Love’. It was as if those two insights came alive at once, yet in a brand new way, and then went beyond even that… 

There was this absolutely overwhelming – literally overwhelming – gratitude. It was for all of the above and also for the beyondness of what was being revealed, and yet simultaneously it was uncaused. There was zero sense of specialness, yet a complete sense of being present and available for the transformation happening through this body and heart and through the bodies and hearts of all those around me on that sacred ground. Perhaps it could be said that the small self / me / I suddenly broke open and was consumed by / merged into Divinity / became what it truly had always been. The crying was so intense that I couldn’t contain it in any way. I was floored byTrue Love, fiery devotion (which was also recognised as being choiceless) and the sense of being in the right place at the right time : of pre-destiny. That was mixed with the utter gratefulness for what Amma has done for us all, and how different things could have been if She hadn’t come to Earth during this era. This seeing engendered in me such confidence…….trust, surrender, and faith in the highest. It was breathtaking.

In the taxi on the way to Trivandrum airport afterwards, I noticed that there was complete Peace, “the peace which surpasses all understanding” as Adyashanti puts it. Thoughts would still arise and pass, but ‘witnessing’ – in the most engaged way – would simply perceive them, without interfering. It was a simple seeing, no more no less. I realised that you don’t actually need detachment when Bhakti has taken over. Love ‘becomes’ (so-to-speak) the only thing which makes sense. And the stunning thing is, it doesn’t even need to make sense.

“Those who know the Self are always compassionate. They wish to see society thrive in peace and harmony. 

Love is the very foundation, beauty and fulfilment of life. If we dive deep enough into ourselves, we will find that the one thread of universal love ties all beings together.

As this awareness dawns within us, peace alone will reign.” ~ Amma
