Namaste and a very warm welcome to all of you in this daily live meditation session with me,
Dhyansa.
We are meditating on 112 meditation techniques of Vigyan Bhairav Tantra.
A fish in the ocean once overheard some fishes talking about the ocean.
This fish had never heard of the ocean before.
Never any idea of something like an ocean ever crossed its mind.
This fish got intrigued,
What is this ocean?
It went on the search of finding what is the ocean,
Where is the ocean.
It asked all the fishes around,
All the good fishes,
All the knowledgeable fishes,
All the fishes that were leading the,
All the fishes in the ocean,
What is an ocean,
Where is this ocean?
No answer came that satisfied this fish.
It went to the scientist fishes to conduct experiments to find out,
To prove that somewhere there is an ocean,
But the scientist fishes could not conclude through experiments that there is an ocean.
It went to the religious fishes,
The religious fishes said,
It is written somewhere in the scriptures that there is an ocean.
It is told by our ancestors,
By our religious leaders,
But you will have to believe in it today,
You will have to follow these commandments.
If you follow these commandments,
If you believe in the ocean,
Then you will find out one day what this ocean is.
None of these answers satisfied that fish.
That fish went on to this inquiry,
Never really were able to find out what this ocean really is,
Where this ocean really is.
Sometimes things are so close to us,
So obvious that they are there,
But we never really realize,
We never really realize the obvious.
The ocean for the fish,
The sky for the birds,
They do not know that they are in the sky,
The ocean,
The fish never knows that it is in the ocean.
The human being does not know who he really is,
Because the human being is living in this self,
Is living in this infinite awareness which creates this whole experience of life,
So it never understands what is this awareness,
What is this infinite consciousness.
So obvious,
So much right there,
So much this experience of life in itself of the infinite awareness.
But we never understand it,
We never really fully grasp it,
And we are looking for that experience of life,
We are looking for that truth.
We are on a search,
A spiritual search to find out where is the ocean,
What is the ocean,
Not realizing the obvious,
The ocean is all around.
We are the ocean,
We are the sky,
We are this infinite awareness out of which everything arises.
All our experience,
All the spirituality,
All the truth,
All what we are seeking arises out of this infinite awareness,
This Brahman,
What we can call as Brahman,
What we can call as infinity,
What we can call as nothingness,
Emptiness,
We are that infinite awareness.
But we are busy finding ourselves,
Exploring the experiences of only a few dimensions of this infinite awareness.
One such dimension is this physicality,
This physical world that we have made ourselves,
We have obsessed ourselves into,
We have expressed ourselves into obsessively trying to become infinite in the physical.
It is not possible to become the infinite in the physical because we are already infinite awareness out of which this physical dimension arises.
Our body belongs to this dimension of physicality,
Of this world which we see through our perception,
Through the five senses of perception.
There is a limitation to this physicality,
There is only to an extent we can access ourselves,
We can be ourselves in this dimension.
If you really want to be yourself,
You have to go beyond the physicality,
You have to realize your existence,
Realize your true nature,
Realize the truth that you are not just the body,
You are not just this physical dimension.
And when this physical dimension was not really answering to our search,
We created another dimension of the mind.
This dimension of the mind is yet another expression which is appearing infinite,
Which is appearing to give all the answers what we are looking for.
But we have been in the mind for thousands of years,
We never found the answer to who we really are in the expression called mind,
In this dimension called mind where we have the thought,
Where we have the emotions,
Where we have the imagination,
Where we have all these expressions that take us into the dimension of the mind giving us certain experiences but never really taking us to who we really are,
Never satisfying us fully.
There is a certain pleasure in the physical dimension,
There is a certain pleasure in the dimension of the mind but it is never fully satisfying,
It is never fully permanent,
It is never eternal,
It is always sometimes there,
Sometimes not there in the dimension of physicality,
You can take a look at your life,
Your experiences,
They are always in some ups and some downs.
Sometimes you are there,
Sometimes you are not there in the mind,
Sometimes you think that you have understood,
Sometimes you realize that you have not understood,
You do not know anything.
These dimensions of physicality,
Of the mind,
Of your mental dimensions,
They would never fully suffice,
They will never make you realize of the infinite ocean,
Of the infinite sky,
Of the infinite awareness that you are.
The search must be moving from these dimensions,
From the physical,
From the mental to the multi-dimensional infinite awareness itself.
See that on the search we are going further astray from the physical to the mental to now in the imagination of the human being into a completely new realm of the digital.
If you see how much of your time,
How much of your experience is moving towards the digital,
Is moving towards a space,
A universe of itself where you are more and more indulged,
More and more of your experience is coming out of the digital.
Recently someone bought one image,
One picture,
One digital picture for 69 million dollars,
Just an image for 69 million dollars and that person wants to create a universe,
A virtual museum out of that picture so that in future while in the next 5 years,
10 years as humanity,
As we move towards this virtual dimension,
Become more and more immersed in this dimension,
We will be just simply immersed so much in this dimension,
We will be exploring this dimension for hours of our day,
Of our night and we will be simply drawing our enjoyment out of this dimension where as an example this person is creating a virtual museum where you will not go anywhere in the physical world.
We have realized that the physical world is not enough.
So we have created this dimension of the digital world through our imagination where we will be spending our time exploring,
Feeling the pleasure,
Feeling the pain,
Interacting with other people,
Doing all sorts of things in that dimension.
Once again an attempt to find the ocean,
Once again an attempt to find who we really are but a futile attempt,
Taking us further astray from the truth,
Further astray from the source,
This infinite awareness,
This multi-dimensional awareness,
This consciousness,
The source from which all these dimensions arise.
In this session I would like you to go back to the source,
To once again remind yourself to realize once again the ocean,
To realize once again the sky,
This infinite awareness that we are,
That all our experiences are created through,
We are living in this infinite awareness,
We are the infinite awareness.
In order to do that we will chant AUM as our gateway into silence,
As our gateway into awareness.
With the chant of AUM,
With the reverberations of AUM,
You will let go of these dimensions of the physicality,
Of the mind,
Of whatever is going on in your life.
For few minutes in the chant,
In the vibration,
In the reverberation of AUM,
You will let go of everything.
Create that lucidity in your space,
In your awareness,
That rigidity that is there in you which is holding on to the physical,
Which is holding on to the mind,
Which is holding on to all the contents of your consciousness,
You let them drop,
You let them fall.
In the vibrations you let them go completely and you once again move towards the source,
Towards the infinite awareness,
Towards pure consciousness.
How you will chant AUM?
You will chant AUM together with me,
With one long AUM and then a break.
In that break remain aware of the silence,
Remain aware of the vibrations of AUM and then once again you will chant AUM with me.
You will start the chant of the AUM with me,
Finish it at your own pace.
It might be that I chant the AUM longer than you,
So if you are finished before,
You simply listen,
You simply remain in silence,
Remain in the vibrations of AUM,
Listen until this vibration takes you to the silence and when it points you at the silence,
Remain in that silence and we will do this process of chanting long AUMs few times before we are completely in that lucidity away from the body,
Away from the mind and in pure infinite awareness.
If for some reason you cannot chant along,
You can just also listen and in that listening be a part of this vibration,
Be a part of this space,
Allowing yourself to move into this infinite space,
Into pure consciousness by the vibrations,
Through the vibrations of AUM,
Chanting AUM together with me.
Please close your eyes and take a posture that is comfortable for you.
With your body in a restful sitting posture,
Hands in your lap or in your thighs,
Your body in balance,
Not leaning forwards or backwards or sideways,
Balance in all directions.
Resting in this balance.
Don't try to hold the balance,
Find your natural balance.
As your body settles.
Your breath also settles.
And your mind also settles.
Let's begin the chant of AUM.
Vibrations of AUM in your entire body.
Your mind pointing at the infinite space in the vibration of AUM.
Vibrations.
Watching every cell of your body.
Your mind fully attentive on the chant of AUM.
Vibrations.
From the bottom of your body to the very top.
A rise of energy in the chant of AUM.
Your mind flowing along with the vibrations of AUM.
AUM.
AUM.
Moving along with these vibrations towards silence.
These vibrations pointing at the infinite space,
The infinite awareness.
Flow along with these vibrations.
AUM.
Moving towards silence.
Infinite space opens through these vibrations,
In these vibrations.
AUM.
AUM.
The obvious,
The silence.
Beyond the physical,
Beyond the mental.
AUM.
AUM.
AUM.
AUM.
AUM.
Awareness in the vibrations of AUM in silence,
Continuing towards infinity.
AUM.
AUM.
AUM.
This silence is the ocean for the fish.
The sky for the bird.
For you,
Silence.
AUM.
AUM.
Keep on listening to the harmony of the silence.
AUM.
AUM.
Let go of everything in this silence.
AUM.
AUM.
AUM.
Silence.
AUM.
AUM.
AUM.
And very gently and slowly,
You may open your eyes.
Silent with eyes closed,
Silent with eyes open,
Silent in inaction,
Silent in action.
In whatever you do in life,
In its essence,
Remain always silent in silence because that is your true nature.
To be in silence in awareness.
If you wish to give back to these sessions,

These are the two ways to give back to this meditative space that we create for you every day.
Thank you very much.
