(00:01) What if spiritual awakening didn't require you to leave your life behind, but simply to leave it differently? Swami Sivananda Saraswati reveals a secretive truth that God realization is not far away, not difficult, and not reserved for monks in caves, but available to you here and now in the middle of your daily life.
(00:34) Stay till the end because this simple practice, which I'm going to reveal in this video, can quietly transform the way you think, work, and experience everything. It is due to the veil of ignorance that you have forgotten your real essential nature, the Sachchidananda state. It is not at all necessary for you to renounce the world and run to some Himalayan cave to regain your lost divinity.
(01:11) Here is an easy Sadhana by which you can definitely attain God consciousness, even while living in the world amidst multifarious activities. You need not necessarily have a separate meditation [music] room or fix some time for meditation, also. How this Sadhana is practiced? Close your eyes for a minute or two once in every two hours and think of God and his various divine qualities, such as mercy, love, joy, knowledge, purity,
(01:57) perfection, and so forth during work and mentally repeat Hari Om or Sri Ram or Ram or any other mantra according to your taste. This should be done even during night whenever [music] you happen to get up from bed to micturate or any other account. Though you are not in the habit of getting up from sleep, you should do this practice [music] at least occasionally when you slightly change your posture during sleep.
(02:35) This sort of habit will [music] come only by repeated practice. Feel all along that the body is a moving temple of God. Your office or business house is a big [music] temple or Vrindavan and all activities such as walking, eating, breathing, seeing, hearing, reading, etc. are offerings unto the Lord. Work is worship.
(03:11) Work is meditation when done in the right spirit. Work for work's sake without any motive, without the idea of agency, such as I am the doer, I am the enjoyer, and without expectations of fruits. Feel that you are [music] an instrument in the hands of God and that he works through your organs. Feel also that this world is a manifestation of the Lord or Vishva Vrindavan and your children, wife, father, mother, and other relations are the images or
(04:01) children of the God. See God in every face and in every object. If you develop this changed angle of vision and divine bhava by protracted and constant practice, all actions will become worship of the Lord. This is quite sufficient. You will have God realization soon. This is a dynamic yoga. This is an easy Sadhana.
(04:37) Hereafter, do not bring your old lame excuses. Swamiji, I have no time >> [music] >> to do spiritual practices like that. Even if you practice this dynamic yoga for three months, you will become an entirely changed being altogether. Realize right now your identity and >> [music] >> intimate relationship with all beings, with ants and dogs, elephants [music] and tigers, Muslims and Hindus, Jews and Christians.
(05:17) There is only a degree of difference in manifestation or expression. All forms belong to God. When you look at a tree or a shrub, a Sikh or a Muslim, endeavor to behold behind the veil of form the real hidden consciousness. If you do this for some time, you will feel inexpressible joy. All hatred will cease. You will develop cosmic love or unity of consciousness.
(05:58) This will be a magnanimous experience. Next, write daily for half an hour in a notebook your Ishta mantra observing mauna and without turning to this side or that. Write down in bold types on slips of paper. Speak the truth. Om courage. Om purity. I must realize God now. Time is most precious. I will be a true Brahmachari.
(06:44) Brahmacharya is divine life. I am an embodiment of courage, purity, mercy, love, and patience. And fix them in the bedroom, dining hall, front room, and corridors. Keep some slips in your pocket and diary, also. This is an easy way for developing virtuous divine qualities. Here, Swamiji suggested some mantras formula for effecting ungrudging and total self-surrender.
(07:26) Repeat them mentally several times daily with bhava, like Oh Lord, I am thine. All is thine. Thy will be done. Thou art everything. Thou dost everything. This practice will remove egoism and myness and the idea of agency, also. If this message stayed with you even for a moment, don't ignore it. Try this in your own life even for a few days and notice the shift
(08:11) within you. If you felt something while listening, drop a comment and share your experience. Like this video so it reaches someone who truly needs it. And share it with those you care about.
