Feel in harmony with your body.
With your mind and with your heart.
Your body is your base.
It is your ground.
It is where you are grounded.
You are the body.
Of course you are more than the body.
But that will be understood in meditation.
First you are the body.
The body is your basic truth.
Your reality.
Feel the breath coming in and going out.
Your body is your temple.
It is a gift of nature to you.
It is part of nature.
It is joined with nature in every possible way.
You are one with everything.
The sun.
The moon.
Your body cannot exist without the sun being there.
Although it is so far away,
The sun and you are somehow deeply related.
The sun must be included in your body otherwise you cannot exist.
You are part of its rays.
You are one with the moonlight.
With the fragrance of flowers.
You are joined intimately to all of nature.
You are part of existence.
You are not a separate island.
You are bridged from everywhere.
And yet you have an individuality.
This has done a miracle.
It has made possible something impossible.
You are one with the whole of existence and yet you are a unique individual.
Everything in harmony with your body.
You will be in harmony with nature.
With existence.
Sometimes the moon and stars mystify you.
Sometimes you are mystified by a flower.
But are you mystified by your own body?
Your body is the most complex phenomena in existence.
No flower is comparable.
No tree has such a beautiful body as you have.
No moon.
No sun.
No star has such evolved mechanism as you have.
Your being is rooted in your body.
And your body is not just something separate from existence.
It is part of it.
Your body is the whole universe.
It is not limited,
It is infinite.
You may not have observed it but try to observe where your body really ends.
Where?
Do you think that your body ends where your skin ends?
Take a moment to feel this with your eyes closed.
Just feel where does your body end energetically.
There is no limit.
Your breath is your life.
If your breath is your life then the whole atmosphere is part of you.
You cannot exist without it.
So where does your body really end?
Where is the limit?
If you observe,
If you go deep you will find there is no limit.
Or the limit of the universe is your body's limit.
The whole universe is involved in you.
So your body is not just your body.
It is your universe and you are grounded in it.
Your mind also cannot exist without the body.
It is part of it,
A process of it.
Your being cannot be pinpointed.
It is everywhere or nowhere in your body.
It is everywhere.
Your life is everywhere.
It is spread out all over you.
And not only all over you,
If you follow it you will have to go to the very ends of the universe.
It is everywhere.
Your body is the temple of the divine,
The abode of the divine.
It is sacred.
It is holy.
And while you are taking a breath in,
It is not only you who is taking the breath.
It is the divine within you.
Breathing can be taken in two ways because it is a bridge.
One part of it is joined with you.
Another part is joined with existence.
So it can be understood in two ways.
You can take it as a voluntary thing.
If you want to inhale deeply,
You can.
If you want to exhale deeply,
You can exhale deeply.
But if you don't do anything,
Then too it continues.
No need for you to do anything and the breathing continues.
It is non-voluntary also.
One part is joined with you.
The other part is joined with existence itself.
You can think of it as if you are breathing.
Or you can think in just the opposite way,
That life is breathing you.
And in this way,
It will lead you into deep relaxation.
It is not that you are breathing,
But existence is breathing you.
It is a change of guest art.
And it happens on its own.
If you go on relaxing,
Accepting everything,
Relaxing into yourself,
By and by suddenly you will become aware that you are not taking these breaths.
They are coming and going on their own.
And so gracefully,
With such dignity,
With such rhythm,
With such harmonious rhythm,
Who is doing it?
Existence is breathing you.
It comes into you.
It goes out of you.
Each moment it rejuvenates you.
Each moment it makes you alive.
Again and again and again.
And I will give you a few quiet moments now for you to experiment with this.
As you relax and your eyes are closed and you bring your awareness to your breathing,
Allow this feeling that you are being breathed by existence,
By life itself coming in and going out.
You can experiment with this meditation in your daily activities.
Whilst eating,
Do not think that you are eating.
Think that it is the divine in you who is eating.
Look at the change.
You are eating in the same way.
You are the same but immediately everything becomes different.
You are giving food to the divine.
Or you are taking a bath,
A very ordinary trivial thing.
But change the attitude.
Feel that you are giving a bath to the divine in you.
Whenever you remember during the day,
Let this attitude pervade your actions.
With this reverence for life,
You are in harmony.
Can i never embrace the you you you
