Fresh Understanding

I recently went through something. Something internal. It’s probably impossible to even begin to put into words, but here goes.

I was experiencing anguish and frustration. I was dissatisfied with my situation. I wanted things that were out of my reach. I fell deeper and deeper into the frustration until it bordered on despair.

Now that’s what was happening on a superficial level in my mind. What was really happening at a deeper level was that I had lost touch with my inner contentment. That to me is a very serious matter. It’s like loosing my oxygen supply. I began to really long for that feeling once again. It was a heartfelt longing.

I regularly practice something called "Knowledge" which consists of techniques taught by Maharaji which enable me to go within and feel the sweet contentment within me. However, to be honest, it takes some effort. It takes sincerity and an understanding. This is not a fad meditation. This Knowledge is for those who are serious about fulfilling this life. This is the real deal.

I spent some time listening to some DVD’s that I have of Maharaji speaking. I listened a little more carefully than I had been. He reminded me yet again of what’s important. He clarified things. He simplified things.

I began to practice Knowledge in earnest. I realized that I had been sort of drifting too much into my dreams, and that I had to make a little more effort to focus on that inner reality.

Everything started to fall into place. The bliss is returning. And it is sweet. Better than my expectations. Better than my dreams.

I love this stuff.
