You Are The Love You Seek

Hello,

Before we begin I want to say something simple.

What you are about to experience is not just a meditation,

It's a return to yourself,

To love,

To the part of you that has been waiting patiently beneath the noise of the world.

You don't really need to try too hard,

You don't need to force anything,

Just show up as you are and let your heart do the listening.

What you're about to feel isn't from me,

It's from inside you.

Love,

Real unshakable overflowing love,

Not the kind you chase but the kind you are.

So let's begin in your sacred space within.

Find a comfortable meditation posture ensuring your spine is erect,

Your head is aligned and your hands are gently resting on your knees in a receptive gesture.

Gently close your eyes,

Allowing your awareness to turn inwards.

Take a deep slow rhythmic breath,

Feeling it,

Fill your lungs and then gently release it.

With each exhale allow any physical tension to melt away from the crown of your head to the tips of your toes.

Experience the profound stillness spreading through your body like a statue of peace.

Now bring your attention to the sacred space of your heart,

Feel the heart,

The location of the heart but this is not just a physical organ,

Your heart is the very seat of your deepest feelings,

Your inner vision and divine light.

Breathe into this space,

Feeling its warmth and its expansive,

Expansive nature.

Recognize that your true self is pure consciousness,

An eternal entity,

Inherently blissful,

Joyful,

Enlightened and fulfilled.

Feel this pure consciousness expanding within you,

Permeating every cell of your being like vast,

All-pervading,

All-pervasive space.

In this boundless inner space,

Allow a profound sense of eternal contentment or satisfaction to arise.

This contentment is the very root of all true happiness,

A happiness that comes from realizing the supreme,

The irrefutable truth that the true source of peace and beauty is not outside somewhere else but right inside you.

Feel that deep unconditional love for this pure blissful self within.

You are a manifestation of the supreme being.

Now that we have built a foundation,

The next step is from this foundation of inner peace,

Let us now cultivate devotion,

The undiluted and untamed true form of devotion,

Love and affection for God.

This love is not ordinary,

It is transcendental,

Sublime and etherical.

Unlike worldly love which is finite and perishable,

Your love for God or whoever you believe in or you don't believe in,

If you believe in something abstract,

That is also fine,

Just consider that love to be infinite and eternal.

Bring your mind to your chosen ideal,

Your beloved God.

This can be a visible manifested form of God or unmanifested,

Invisible,

Unknowable,

Unknown,

Anything with attributes you can easily identify and relate with.

If nothing,

Just think of the invisible cosmic form,

Pure consciousness which has no discernible attributes.

If that is also difficult,

Just think of the infinite cosmic space,

The galaxies,

The universe,

The emptiness,

Stars,

Infinity in all directions.

You are free to choose the form or the formless that your heart naturally feels devotion for.

Feel this love spontaneously springing forth within your bosom like a vibrant fountain,

Embracing your entire being.

Allow yourself to become lost in these thoughts,

Remembering the God at all times of your life.

This unwavering focus,

This constant contemplation is in itself a profound meditation.

Nurture your inner self by remembering God's divine glories,

Holy name,

Forms,

Chants.

Mentally chant God's name softly or sing without making any sound,

Just mentally,

Say some praises in your mind.

This practice purifies the mind,

Drawing it away from the distractions and towards higher spiritual goals.

Repeat a few times the name of your God in your mind.

Feel yourself close to this divine being or the divinity and feel God speaking to you saying,

My devotee who knows me as his only object of adoration and love,

Who is attached to me with a single-minded devotion and faith,

Who has his mind and senses focused on me,

Who has completely absorbed in me,

Is able to purify his heart and enliven his inner self by nurturing my thoughts and remembering my divine glories,

My holy name,

My forms,

Etc.

At all times.

He lives for me,

He breathes for me,

He eats and drinks for me and he lives in me to the extent that without me he would have no independent existence.

This is what God has spoken to you.

Now feel his words resonating within your heart again and again.

Allow yourself to feel that deep singular devotion.

Remember this moment.

Now let this profound love for your God naturally expand beyond yourself and your chosen ideal.

As you love the God,

Understand that the whole universe becomes dear to you because it is all his.

Begin to see the Lord's divine form in every single feature of this world.

Hold a firm belief that there is nothing in this world that is not the Lord in that form.

Recognize that all beings are his children,

His very body,

His manifestation.

If all are his,

Then how can you hurt someone?

How can you not love anyone?

With the love of God,

The love of everyone in this universe will surely come.

Release the tendency to find faults with others even in your dreams.

This becomes effortless when you realize that the consciousness residing in every person is immaculate and one with the Cosmic Consciousness,

The same divine essence that resides within me and you and everyone.

Gently let go of worldly desires,

Anger,

Infatuations and attachments for a brief moment because these are the obstacles in your spiritual journey.

Overcome them through detachment,

Knowing that true freedom comes from within.

Continue with your daily duties but do them selflessly,

Offering them as a service to the God without attachment to the results.

This attitude frees you from anxieties,

Allowing your heart and mind to find profound eternal rest.

As your mind becomes completely and perpetually absorbed in the thoughts of your beloved God,

You will find yourself living virtually aloof from the physical world.

Your Self,

Your pure consciousness,

Is with the God you love.

You are now entering a state of meditation,

A profound meditative absorption where nothing else matters.

This is a mature form of devotion where you are deeply absorbed.

Allow yourself to feel a perpetual sense of spiritual bliss and ecstasy.

Your body has goosebumps,

Feel the skin,

Feel all your emotions,

They are so joyful.

You have lost the awareness of the outside,

You are completely absorbed within yourself.

Allow any physical manifestation of intense joy and love to emerge naturally,

Whether it's tears,

Shivers or a choked voice,

All of them are sacred expressions of your heart's longing and fulfilment.

This is the experience of supreme love for God,

Intense,

Nectar-like,

Bestowing immortality of this experience and bliss.

Your heart may feel slackened with affection,

You may have tears of love and ecstasy running down your eyes,

Your voice might choke with surging emotions.

This is the very essence of devotion,

A love so deep that it transcends ordinary perception.

In this transcendental state,

Everything external dissolves and only the object you love and adore,

Your God,

Remains.

You are experiencing the presence of pure consciousness,

Becoming one with God,

You are one and inseparable with your Divine,

Your Divinity and the God who you call God.

You are now at a much higher stage in your meditation,

Where all forms and rituals are fading,

All worldly limitations and bondages fall away from you naturally.

You are serenely free,

Held only by this infinite love.

Enjoy this state as long as it is there,

Time has stopped for you.

Rest in this profound state of eternal bliss,

Beauty,

Joy unmatched by any other.

Feel this freedom,

You are immersed in the supreme purpose of human life,

Which is to experience this bliss and to be free.

Slowly,

Gently,

Begin to bring your awareness back to your physical body,

Feeling your weight,

Your presence and the connection to the Earth beneath you.

Hear the sounds of your surroundings,

Feeling grounded once more.

Carry this deep,

Immeasurable love and inner peace with you as you return to your daily life.

Let it inspire you to live each moment in selfless service,

Radiating compassion and understanding,

Thereby contributing to a better world for all.

Know that God is always enshrined in your heart,

Eliminating the darkness of ignorance,

Lighting your path to final liberation.

Take one more deep,

Cleansing breath.

When you feel completely ready,

Gently open your eyes,

Bringing this divine love and profound sense of connection into your awareness of the world around you.

You are blessed now and always.

Welcome back.

Now take a moment to just feel the softness of your breath,

The stillness in your chest,

The quiet joy gently humming underneath it all.

What you just experienced wasn't imaginary,

It was a shift,

A psychological,

Emotional and spiritual.

Let me explain it further,

What was really happening inside you.

So,

As you were breathing and turning inwards,

Your nervous system switched from stress to safety.

Your vagus nerve was activated,

Calming your heart,

Soothing your gut,

Relaxing your mind.

When you focused on love and devotion,

Your brain released oxytocin,

The hormone of trust and connection.

When you remembered that you were already enough,

Your mind stopped searching and simply rested.

So this was not just spiritual,

This was a deeply biological experience as well.

Love,

Especially self-love,

Is one of the most healing states a human being can enter.

It rewires the brain,

Boosts immunity,

Lowers inflammation,

Improves sleep and extends lifespan.

And devotional love does something even more powerful,

It gives the mind a sacred anchor,

A place to rest in this chaotic world.

So if you feel a little different now,

It's not just in your head,

Your entire body,

Your chemistry,

Your consciousness is thanking you.

Carry this feeling with you today in the way you walk,

In the way you speak to others,

And most of all,

In the way you speak to yourself.

You've just touched something divine inside you,

And the beautiful truth is that it was always there.

Waiting for you to come home.

Thank you for meditating with me.

You are deeply loved.
