A
Meditation on Devotion and Light
- Cross
the palms of your hands over the area of your heart
- Take
a few deep breaths
- Become
aware of the "giving-feeling" of
devotion in the area of your heart…filling your
body…unifying
your body, mind and Spirit
- Relax
your hands and arms
- Now,
fill this devotion with light - this light will carry your
devotion beyond your self
- With
humility, slowly expand the light with your devotion to
touch all people close
to you - feel
a connection
with the
Spirit within them
- Visualize
and sense your devotion being carried in your light to
all people in this city…In
this country…On this
continent…On this planet-earth…
Feel your devotional interconnection to and
interdependence with the Spirit within all
people on this planet-earth
- Sense
your interconnection to the life essence in all creatures
in the animal kingdom…to
the life essence in all vegetation in the plant kingdom…to
the life essence in all "the
miraculous creations of nature" in the
mineral kingdom… feel
your devotion and light connecting to Mother
Earth beneath you… healing Her… healing
you… in wholeness
and health
- Now,
expand your devotion and light out into the solar system,
and beyond
through the
galaxies…until you feel your interconnectedness
to and interdependence with the whole universe
...feel the energy of unity with all things
in God, and God in all things." (Meister
Eckhart)
- Celebrate
the unity, the interconnection, the interdependence
- Slowly
bring your awareness back to your body, to your self
- Integration
of body, mind and spirit is very important…feel
Spirit re-integrate with your mind, emotions and body
through your forehead and move your awareness
down through your body until you feel your connection
to the earth beneath you
- Maintain
your devotional, your compassionate Spirit-connection with
all you meet
Ramakrishna tells us that God can be seen. And the
best way to see God is through the path of Bhakti
Yoga.
"The
kundalini is speedily awakened if one follows the path of
Bhakti. God cannot be seen unless She is awakened.
Sing earnestly and secretly in solitude:
Waken, O Mother! O Kundalini, whose nature is Bliss Eternal!
Thou art the serpent coiled in sleep, in the lotus of the
Muladhara.
[The
poet] Ramprasad achieved perfection through singing. One
obtains the vision of God if one sings with
a yearning
heart."
~ Ramakrishna, The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna

Yoga: The Path of Devotion'
