Acceptance ...The Spiritual way of life..
knowing Sahaj Marg
First and foremost step having trust in the guru and his teachings
Developing interest in satsangs, book reading, diary writing,individual practice and ashram visits
Practicing Sahaj Marg
Taking interest in meditation and developing sensitivity to observe and understand what happens during meditation
Observing within and understand what happens during both meditative and non meditative hours
Creating a ashram like atmosphere at home
Observe the expansion of consciousness and looking at normal things in different ways with a feeling of wonder
Witnessing how ignorance melts
Living Sahaj Marg
Standing by masters teachings during moments of tests
Accepting things as they are instead of resisting for ones own peace
Accepting things with a cheerful attitude understanding that how we look at people and things depends on our own mindset and has got little to do with others
Come to understanding that liberation is not reaching a particular altitude in space it’s in reaching a particular mindset and what is this mindset?
Acceptance!
Non barking, Non resistance, Non attachment, No hatred for ones own peace!
We learn about love and peace.
Going beyond ( U turn)
From the Search which was outside ( reading, writing, visiting ashram) now leads to the inner road where the reference becomes the heart, the clarification required for life situations and the meditation practice all comes from within the heart, the more we listen to the heart the more it guides us.
This is like walking all the way to see God and when you meet Him , He says “Go back and continue your day to day routine “! Well this is a shock but yes that’s how it is after spending all the years to go towards him.
Day to day routine... what is all this...
Yes find the God within? How ?
Remove all the blockages then what lies within us is God!
What is the biggest of all blockages?
The inability to live in the present moment!
Learn to live in the now , leave behind all the past baggages now it’s too heavy to carry at this stage!
You have now learnt that life is dynamic so don’t bother much about tomorrow!
Live now , in this now there is no hatred but it’s not just about non hatred for our peace, the understanding comes that between hatred and love there is something called indifference!How does this develop? It’s because of our PREJUDICE, our impressions on certain people and events , what has happened in the past we think that it happens the same way in the future!
So we have reacted to something, reaction is a kind of non acceptance!!
Always let love flow in your heart, irrespective of others behaviors, accept people and things as it is.
Now the acceptance for sake of peace getting rid of anger and hatred has matured into acceptance to get rid of prejudice which is the biggest blockage for our living in now. This acceptance to my understanding is cheerful acceptance.
When this acceptance ( which helps us to live in the now)becomes our way of life all our blockages will be removed one by one and gradually leads us to the third stage where we accept without the idea of accepting!
Just as what Daaji says,
“Acceptance, cheerful acceptance, Acceptance without the idea of acceptance” -Daaji
