Namaste Divine Beings.
To receive a mantra is to receive the seed of the divinity embedded in the mantra.
When we go to see an enlightened master,
Whatever we may ask for is like safety pins that serves us temporarily.
The only thing worth asking for is a part of consciousness.
So when a realized being gives a mantra,
We are receiving a part of their consciousness.
Now the path of spirituality is in being the spirit and expanding our consciousness and finding unions with source,
God,
Goddess.
All of this is enhanced through the mantras.
Chanting the mantra,
Chanting the mantra is the mother of meditation.
While there is the meditation without the mantra,
The meditation with the mantra changes the entirety of not only the objective of meditation itself,
But also the realities of experience through all parts of ancient Sanatana Dharma.
Mantra is vital.
And today when we explore the ten vital blessings of empowerment in mantra chanting,
We will understand how we can utilize the mantra in ways in which we can multiply its efficiency.
The first divine one is the Guru's grace.
Through my journey as a sadhu,
As a seeker,
As I connected with my Gurus,
They gave me their blessings in the form of a light they lit within me and that was the mantra grace.
I do not have any formal education as in Hinduism,
As in the scriptures,
And yet I know that it is my Guru's grace that allows me for the wisdom from within that aligns to the scriptures and the wisdom of the past.
The Guru's grace is powerful since we know of a theory,
The ten thousand hour theory where if we are to focus on any subject,
Anything for ten thousand hours,
We would naturally be the masters of that.
But the Guru's grace is different.
It dissolves away the time frame and in a moment allows for us to be the master.
And this is the first,
Receiving the mantra from an enlightened being,
From the one who we take as a Guru enhances the mantra's power because it is within the mantra that the Guru's grace is,
The master's grace is.
The second,
Bhakti,
Divine love.
Now when we are in love with source God,
Goddess Union,
This devotional love,
Bhakti,
Is the single most important blessing we could ever have.
It now fills ourselves in a way in which old habits and addictions of the previous layer of consciousness dissolves away.
It's filled with the new.
Love for God,
The passion for Source Union allows us to set discipline to have more.
Bhakti is generated through mantras.
So when we are chanting the mantra,
Assuming this mantra is invoking Lord Siva,
As we chant there is a devotional love that builds and this devotional love begins to break or dissolve the I into We.
The divine and the individual self is one.
The soul,
Jivatma,
Becomes the paramatma,
The supreme spirit.
The next is,
When we are chanting a mantra,
Our mind converges in singularity.
As the mind merges into singularity,
There is not only the purification of the mind,
But also our thoughts become more potent.
It's like a magnifying glass converging all of the light into that single spot where now light has now transcended itself into pure energy.
This is what the mantra does.
As we chant,
As we come into the single pointedness,
We become that.
There is a transformation happening within us.
In a moment we are transforming all of the karma,
All of the past karma to dharma.
In other words,
All of the past now becomes blessings.
All of the now is happening as we converge our mind into the single pointedness.
And as our mind becomes single pointed,
So does the potency of each thought.
When our mind has become single pointed,
Now,
There is no room for the mind to play other than be the instrument of the divine.
The divine means the expanded layers of consciousness where we are beyond our memory,
Beyond the limits of the mind.
The single pointedness now has transformed us to divinity itself.
The next is transcending breath to access realized wisdom.
So as we chant,
We realize we are with breath and now that breath has been,
Is beginning to lengthen itself and slowly we begin to experience the breath beyond breath.
The breath beyond breath is what leads us to the state of samadhi,
The state of sheer source god,
Goddess,
Unions.
Now as the breath has been taken over,
Dissolved into the breath beyond breath,
We are now truly meditating.
The power of meditation is to align with source god.
Now when it's aligned in absolutes to source god,
Breath has ceased.
Now if we notice in our life,
Whenever we are emotional or we are not where we are supposed to,
A few deep breaths almost instantly resets our mind to harmony.
Now imagine going to the breath beyond breath.
Now we are resetting not only our mind,
But we are resetting ourselves in the karmic imprints.
We are resetting ourselves in being the master of our destiny.
The next dimension or blessing of mantra chanting is we create our epicenter to know inner peace and tranquility.
In reality,
We all experience the ups and downs of life and events.
We then are subject to the shift of our breath from the left and to the right.
The right is optimism,
Vitality,
Inspiration.
The left is the time to relax,
The time to go to sleep.
It's also the time to feel sad,
Depressed.
So with this ups and downs of the breath and reality,
There is the center point and that center point is the epicenter core within each of us.
When we chant the mantra,
We are now stepping into the epicenter of ourselves as the spirit witnessing the human drama.
We are creating the greater and greater core like a muscle within ourselves.
This epicenter is peace,
Tranquility,
Harmony from where no matter what the situation is,
We are still able to deal with whatever it is from peace,
Calm and to have optimal decisions to see in clarity,
To work with a pristine mind.
The next is becoming the invoked.
Now let's assume we are meditating on a lake or meditating on a bird or meditating on whatever,
A single point.
It's fantastic to get the mind to single pointedness.
But by the law of attraction,
Whatever we desire,
If we hold it for a few moments,
That desire will come true.
When we are with the mantra,
Invoking the divinity,
We become.
This is why in the core of our realization,
We know becoming,
Being the invoked.
So when you spend hours,
Days,
Years through invoked mantra chanting,
We have now imbibed all the divinity there is in the mantra to be the invoked.
The next is being the vortex,
Protected,
Guided and source aligned as we chant,
Know that we are becoming a vortex,
A vibrancy that is connected to source God,
Protected at all.
When a higher vibrancy has formed itself as a vortex within us,
No matter what the energy field is outside ourselves,
We either deflect it or absorb it into our light.
We are at all times protected,
Guided in higher wisdom.
To us,
As we are in the mantra fires,
Being the vortex,
We simply uplift the vibrations around us.
Wherever we are,
We know a vibrancy of light is the supreme self and any being,
Human,
Animal,
Any being,
Anything of life reacts to this higher vibrancy and this vibrancy of being the vortex is the gift.
Next,
When we are in the higher vibrancies,
We attract to ourselves only goodness.
All the grandness of reality comes to us.
When we have transcended the mind to being the spirit,
Having the human experience,
We are desireless.
We are not attached and yet beyond the desire,
Desireless is the desireless desire,
The ancient intent.
Our higher vibrancy is constantly pulling to us blessings in all forms,
Blessings as in the form of bringing wholeness to us.
When we chant,
We are being whole and complete.
So we attract only the whole.
Because we chant,
We know that in our vibration that attracts similar vibrations,
The negative vibrations are not ours and greater realities is absolutely ours.
And the magnificence of our experience is absolutely ours and from here we create our realities.
The next,
Now as we chant,
We are being the spirit,
Having the human experience.
As spirit,
We have transcended the karmic patterns that is imposed on us when we are in the I identity.
As we transcend to being the we,
The spirit,
We are now understanding that we do have control over fate.
We are the master of our destiny.
As a spiritual being,
We constantly transform our limitations to potentials,
Transform our karma to dharma.
We know we are at the receiving end of grace at all times by being grace.
How does that work?
When we know the law of dharma and karma,
We avoid what can cause more of karma and we do goodness from our heart to know that we are enhancing our vibrancies.
Now as we journey within to our truest identity,
Being the spirit,
Having this magnificent human realities,
We understand we are here for a purpose.
Our time is limited as human.
It is,
It can be numbered by,
It can be numbered by the breath we take.
Now knowing we are here for a purpose,
Knowing we are the spirit having the human experience,
We master our destiny in doing.
We transform ourselves so we can affect transformation for humanity,
For planet earth,
For all.
And finally,
The last,
The collective power of we.
Now when we are meditating and when we have transcended the mind,
We have transcended the I limits,
I identity.
We are the we.
The we means all of the masters of the past,
All of the realized beings of the past are with us now.
When we are with Source God,
Goddess,
We are also with all the beings of light who are around Source God,
Goddess.
When we receive grace of thought,
That is wisdom as it comes from the inner light.
Every one of us have this potential as an opportunity of every minute,
Every moment.
We can all tap into becoming the spirit,
Being the many as one and being the multiplication of whom we are.
Now,
Within our journey through yoga,
Through meditation,
To be one,
To be the oneness is the inner fire is incredibly important in our spiritual journey because this inner fire is tapas.
Now when we are constantly chanting and chanting and chanting a mantra,
We are now creating an inner most sacred fire and within this fire is the sacred fire of all the realized beings coming together as one,
The I becoming the we,
The we now being the totality of all the light of the past,
Of all the masters in the past and present being with us now.
The power of tapas is tapping into the enormity of this power.
So when we are chanting the mantra,
Know that we are tapping into all these dimensions.
Now we are empowered.
So to go back and go through all of this that we mention of the mantra,
The first before we chant the mantra,
Say a little prayer to the one who gave us the mantra.
Connect to that lineage of that guru,
That master,
Whoever gave us the mantra,
Connect to that being in gratefulness.
The second,
Enjoy the journey,
Bhakti,
Devotional love,
Enjoy it.
It's pure.
It purifies us.
The love for God,
The love for the absolute,
The love to be the void,
The love to be the God,
Goddess,
Is the most beautiful gift we can ever have.
As we chant,
Focus on bringing the mind into singularity like a magnifying glass,
Converging all of the love,
All of the focus,
All of the resonance into one singular spot.
And this singularity is that God source that we are invoking within ourselves.
Now bring ourselves to breath,
Transcend breath.
Sit inside the state of samadhi.
Even if it is for just twenty seconds,
We are now receiving the grace blessings of many lifetimes in the moment in expanding our consciousness.
Now is understanding that we have created for ourselves,
A core that cannot be cured of peace and love and tranquility that cannot be taken away from us.
No matter what the external is,
No matter what ridiculous drama is happening in our life,
The core,
We are the core.
And as we journey,
We begin to understand that we are the miracle since we are the one whom we have invoked.
Be the Siddha sages would advise.
Summa ere.
Simply be.
In being means be the divinity,
Be who we have invoked as in simply being.
Now enjoy the vortex that we are.
Know that as the vortex of light,
We are protected at all.
No matter what darkness comes to us,
No matter what karma holds in store for us,
No matter what collective karma is enforced on us,
We are the vortex.
And this vortex is beyond the power of anything that can limit us,
That can hold us,
That can threaten us.
Know that no matter what,
We have no fear because we are the light,
We are the vibrancy.
Now we are the vibrancy that essentially not only deflects any negativity,
But also such a light of any contact it has in the form of life,
In the form of any entity,
In the form of any reality,
Wherever we go,
We constantly uplift the vibrancies.
We are constantly alighting the light everywhere we go.
Now as master of destiny,
Choose for ourselves the highest that gives us the ultimate joy.
Why am I here is the question we ask after I am.
So if I am here,
What am I here to do that will make my heart sing?
What am I here to do that is evolving me by way of inspiration?
That within that is the mantra allowing for us to recognize the highest purpose and to do a highest purpose and to allow each moment to manifest in that reality stored within us.
Then is the collective power whenever we pray.
Imagine every human is God.
Some know it,
Some are unconscious.
Know that all the beings of light,
Of life,
All the life force is within us as the many.
And when we are the source God light,
We are surrounded by all the angelic light.
All of that is ours.
So when we meditate,
Know this enormity of being the blessings is our grateful divine beings.
Om Namah Shivaya.
Please enlighten the sacred mantra for each of us,
Be the divine embodiment,
Highest potential here uplifting humanity,
Uplifting ourselves in the magnificence of realities.
Om Namah Shivaya.
