Satsanghs are very important
as they help us progress faster in sadhana due
to intense transmissions and also it develops
in us a good deal of patience, tolerance and fraternity.
1. On one day felt pressure on the heart
and on another day felt vibrations on the left
hand. On another day, the vibrations in the heart
region started during the sitting, continued even
after the sitting was over.
I do not understand your statement 'pressure
on the heart'. To feel vibrations is alright,
to feel jerks is alright, to feel rocking is alright;
but to feel pressure is unusual. Please check
up with your physician. Also see whether you had
heavy food before the meditation. Note whether
this is due to gas in the stomach.
2. During one satsangh
initially I felt very light and calm towards end
I felt expansion, during that time I was floating
in the sky, white light was felt and somebody
was sitting besides it and later I was floating
in water.
These relate to the internal feelings
that you are moving in unknown terrains. Do not
give much importance to them.
3. Some people are feeling
the flow during the satsanghs. I don't know what
they mean. But I am not why is this?
Comparison with other abhyasis is alright
but that should not make us evaluate that we are
not as better as the others. The nature of Divinity
is justice and every one gets what is due. This
is a basic tenet that should always be remembered.
Not only in meditation, this attitude develops
in us Fortitude and Forbearance in our behaviour.
These two attitudes are considered as most important
in life by persons of Wisdom.
4. Why am I not feeling
the vibrations. Why am I not feeling the Buzz
Sound, which I used to feel. Some times I feel
it. But not every time.
Feeling of Pranahuti is through many
ways. Please do read the chapters on Transmission
in the complete works of Dr. K.C.Varadachari Volume
I. Also the various experiences of the abhyasis
reported as Case studies in the Centenary Volume
of Satya Padamu would be a useful study. Do also
read the article on Pranahuti in our site.
5. Once I felt that my
body is just a cover and there is a vaccum inside
my body. Whenever I go for satsanghs I sense the
fragrance of sandalwood incense even though there
is no such thing around physically.
Fragrance of different varieties are
experienced but none of them are our concern.
Forget about them. The heart is inside us and
that is most important to recognize that as also
the various knots and points. Inside the body
there is dirt as well as light. Do not think you
can forget them by thinking that inside it is
all vacuum.
6. While conducting Satsangh
I saw Rev. Babuji for 2-3 minutes. Rev. Sir’s
remembrance came 3-4 times during the same Satsangh.
Do you mean to say you saw an image of
the Master. Was it a full blown picture or a pass
port sized one? What we need to have is not these
visions but to live in the consciousness of Sri
Ramchandraji Maharaj. Please read about this and
have better orientation. Form and Name have to
be surpassed if spirituality is to be understood.
7. Felt immense force
descending from upwards which made me to bend
down. I felt this in all the satsanghs
Though the bent posture may arise now
and then because of the intensity of flow of Grace,
it would be better if you could try and put up
a straight posture as far as possible.
8. During one of the
satsanghs, closeness with the Divine and the wish
to merge in Him was felt all throughout.
The ideas of laya, mergence and similar
sounding words are good: but for that purity is
the essential requirement apart from considerable
yatra. Attend more to cleaning and also practice
constant remembrance; remembering Him as purity
and love helps a lot.
9. After Satsanghs (Morning
Satsanghs especially) felt bliss and calmness
which usually lasted for most of the day. But
on few days the feeling did not last most of the
day.
It is remembrance of the condition that
was obtained during meditation that ensures the
condition to stay on. Of course this may get disturbed
if the circumstances are not conducive for retaining
the experience consciously during the day. In
any case the lightness that is obtained during
meditation continues to work sub consciously.
10. Absorbed mostly with
awareness of fleeting thoughts and feeling showers
of grace with feeling of gratitude.
During Satsangh we should only keep the
sang and not judge the quality of that. The awareness
of thoughts during meditations is good and is
essential from my point of view. Do not think
that a meditation or Satsangh where you do not
feel any thoughts is a good one: that is only
a numb state. Kindly read the articles on Concentration
and Control of Mind to understand the nature of
meditation in our system.
11. Usually miscellaneous
thoughts pass by with a few moments of blank.
After meditation I feel closeness to other brothers
and more oriented to the Master.
Feeling fraternity is one aspect of Satsangh.
But the real Satsangh is feeling the presence
of the Master during and after that period of
time.
12. In Satsanghs on most
days I feel relatively free of thoughts and collected.
I get some thoughts related to anything I might
have been doing the same day but mostly I feel
quiet. However on some days I find my whole body
aching and from within an almost unwillingness
to relent and sit. I want to be able to reach
the end of Satsangh quickly, so I could get up
and go. I don’t know why I feel so on some
days.
The reason is cleaning that is getting
effected during satsanghs is of a different nature
where we are getting woven into a common fabric
of spirituality. This pain and restlessness to
get out of the satsangh will be a recurrent phenomenon.
But we should try to be in the satsangh so that
our wavelength conforms to what the Divine wills.
13. Sometimes after satsanghs,
it took 5-10 minutes to clear that charged condition.
We need to come out of the condition
because we have many things to do; otherwise we
feel like being in that state for longer period.
This we attend to by remembering the condition
during the day as far as possible.
14. During satsanghs
feelings of devotion and resignation to the will
of Master
There is some difference between
it is alright and “this is the will
of Master which I accept totally. We should
not feel resigned to the will of the Master: we
should accept willingly all that comes to us with
gratitude. This step may be tough but that is
our aim.
15. In one satsangh,
got a feeling of shrinking in a vast expanse while
the outer body contour is expanding at a rapid
pace.
Expansion is always an expansion in consciousness
and it has nothing to do with body contours. Please
note the point carefully and observe your condition.
Normally no one of us feel our contours of the
body while meditating and that being so the question
of expansion of body can not be there. This is
an alien thought to our system.
16. Sometimes I feel
engulfed. Sometimes I feel so low that we give
so much importance to ourselves and take pride
in our possessions and do not give importance
to God who provided us all these in first place.
I feel that we should all take part in divine
endeavor of our Rev. Babuji.
It is good that you feel like co operating
with the Master and that is a good sign of progress
in spiritual life. Self centred thinking should
change into other centred first, universe centred
next and cosmic centred much later. Keep growing
and you will feel oneness with the divine.
