Quotes

  • To be precise though..., one can’t be “in” sahaja samadhi.

    Being “in” anything, including being in the Absolute, would be, from a descriptive point of view, against the very notion of what happens “in” sahaja samadhi.

    Sahaja samadhi does not represent still another spiritual point of view or a subjective relationship with Consciousness. It is not a “state of consciousness,” like Cosmic Consciousness, God Consciousness, or Unity Consciousness. Unity Consciousness would be closest to it, if I were forced to choose.

    One way to understand it is that the body, the mere body, has become God, known in and as the Ultimate.

    Also, remember that even two sahaja samadhis will not be identical in terms of description or perhaps in terms of “experience” as well.

    Further, an individual will tailor his or her own description (of sahaja samadhi) with a language that actually pollutes the essence of that “realization.” Even my description will do this. I am not exempt from this verbal distortion, even though to me what I say feels identical to That in any given moment.

    For me, sahaja samadhi is a relaxed and unconditional absorption in God, identity with God, in which the bodymind and its tendencies are constantly radiating or communicating what is transcendentally prior to the body-mind. But it’s something indicated on the surface of the skin, so to speak. The body becomes Brahman. God becomes ongoing experience itself, you could say.

Merciless Devi

O divine witch, what suffering you bring.
I am driven to madness. I am desolate. I am incomplete.
Like a skittish cat, you tempt and retreat.
Cruel temptress! Inviting me in, you keep me at bay.
I must gaze at you through your screen.

Shall I live another year on your doorstep?
I am trapped. I can neither advance nor retreat.
You bewitch me with your beauty.

Secret doorway

Earlier this year I felt directed to David's teachings, and I've been regularly attending his webcasts and receiving his darshan. This is helping me to integrate the 'me' as consciousness with the 'me' who goes to work and lives a mundane everyday life.
