INSPIRATIONAL BLESSINGS - FEARLESS WISDOM WALKS THE PATH OF PRACTICAL ENLIGHTENMENT
The Buddha was exact in his praise of the middle path . . . the path of moderation. He stressed this path because, as he said, we are in fact standing at the absolute middle of creation anyway. We always reside (in consciousness) halfway between the micro-world within us and the macro-world outside. Everyone sits in the exact center of the self . . . becoming consciously aware of this position is the purpose of a daily practice (sadhana).
Guru Nanak was speaking to the same point when [in Japji] he expresses — "There are worlds upon worlds . . . universes upon universes . . . existences upon existences." The universe is only a slice of the far larger multiverse . . . this too, only a section of the infinite Cosmos, including the entire zero-mass of infinity's void. This infinite zero-mass is the Gu from which the Ru of light/matter is born . . . hence the origins of the Sanskrit word Guru - (bringing light from the infinite darkness).
As you become more conscientious of your place at this center-point — the point between your inner-sphere and the outer-sphere — your true-identity begins to intrigue you. A phenomenon occurs during such a sensation; it delivers an absolute sense of being one with nature. Balancing this true-identity — establishing a clear self-image in the world's ever-challenging environment of stress, friction, pressure and tension — is a key to health, prosperity and the success of all relationships.
Every human in this multiverse wants to climb his or her "Mountain" . . . wants to achieve a dream that matches this character and caliber of the self-image. One of the best exercises for such an effort is the effortless, silent contemplation on the sensation of breathing . . . the
sensation of being breath, rather than being the breather of the breath. This is a deduction, not a production — this is introspection, not projection — this is an inaction that reveals the middle pathway to your "Mountain top" . . . the world of your fulfillment. Remember: you can always see the Mountain of your dreams from a greater distance, but when you get up to the base camp — ready to climb and do the work and fulfill this dream — all you can see are the foothills (the problems) directly in front of you . . . the challenges that surround you. "You cannot see the forest for the trees." You must climb over these foothills — over all these challenges — with great trust that the "Mountain" is there . . . it is coming on its way toward you. This is the essence of the story of Mohamed and the mountain.
Use a conscious breathing exercise (pranayam) to tune into and experience the essence of each step — this is the middle path; this is the way of ultimately being at ease with your "Mountain" . . . being at ease with the greatest possibilities of your life's new evolution into human consciousness . . .
These Inspirational Blessings are like mantras . . . reminders that cause us to think at a new angle . . . to shake up old patterns . . . to renew and rebuild our vision and purpose. We then gain insight to ignite and inspire an opening to manifest our conscious focus through conscious action. Find Guru Singh's music HERE and his new book HERE.
