Namaste Divine Beings.
Question.
What does it mean to light the lamp within?
It is within our nature to go within.
Whenever we are tired,
Anxious or overwhelmed,
It's natural to feel sleepy and to want to go within.
Whenever we are wanting to source-connect,
To pray is to go within,
Go beyond sleep,
Go beyond awareness and go beyond the mind.
To meditate is called the sleepless sleep.
When we seek a guru,
The guru serves us by alighting our inner lamp and imparting consciousness.
Within ourselves.
When our lamp is lit,
The guru serves the purpose of showing us God source as experience and setting us on our inner journey.
When our lamp is lit,
Now we have the innermost sacred fires to tend to nourish,
Nurture and grow.
In the journey within is to experience the intense beautiful states of joy and bliss that comes from source unions and this is initiated by the innermost lamp lit within ourselves.
Once the lamp is lit,
We simply know.
We know that there is all the states of joy for which we would set discipline to have more of it.
This is why yogis enjoy the seclusion and all the discipline that they set forth is to have more of states of joy.
To the moment our lamp is lit,
Now we are liberated in the path towards light.
In other words,
We do not have to rely on all the other directions other than from within to go towards our light and unravel.
The vast,
Immense,
Supreme self within.
In the journey of unravelling and expanding consciousness,
The moment we have lit our inner lamp,
All the grace starts flowing.
We are reconnecting to the path of light we had undertaken over several birth.
This is why when Siddhartha was reminded of the truth of existence as to its painfulness and its limitations and its short term nature,
He instantly craved for a lighting that innermost light that he had journeyed with over several years.
This is why he had taken the light of his previous lifetimes and that set him on the path.
For those of us who are on the journey,
We know we are simply reconnecting to all the past birth and bringing all of the past light into the now.
The moment we have lit our lamp,
Now there is nothing stopping us towards attaining the totality of beingness,
Of being lit.
Going back to all of history to see all the masters,
They have disciples who they have lit the lamp within and those disciples in turn light the lamp to others.
This lighting of the lamp is setting a light consciousness and from the days,
Going back to thousands of years of our human history to now,
Going within the truth of lighting the lamp,
Now a vast number of us are lit within.
As in collective consciousness,
Now we are all at the attainable grace of being a light and that possibility is in this moment now for each of us,
The moment we decide.
Yes,
I wish for those unions.
Having lit our innermost lamp,
Now we begin to pierce the 24-hour cycle.
We wake up and we sleep within the 24-hour cycle but the moment we have lit our innermost lamp,
Now we are awakening that timelessness,
That eternal being that we are,
That has seen or that has experienced as consciousness.
The moment before birth and the moment after death,
This eternity of timelessness is within each of us awakened when we light our inner lamp.
And when this timelessness is embedded in time within our 24-hour cycle,
Now we are the master having liberated ourselves from being limited in time and limited in our karmic nature.
To alight a lamp means we have woken up the spirit that we are,
The I am experience and now with timelessness in time,
We are the spirit having the magnificence of human experience.
When our lamp is lit,
We are now expanding consciousness.
We are on a meditative mode through all the moment we are awake or in awareness.
To light the lamp is to dissolve away the I and to dissolve away the ego component of me-I ownership which contains the karmic limits.
And as this inner fire grows,
We are now connecting to an ancient grace,
The foundation of consciousness of humanity which has been built by the tapas inner fires of all the sages.
Of all of history,
Of all the lands,
The I has become the we.
In this tapas is the perpetuality of the innermost fire invoking source and in the source unions bringing that light to ourselves and to humanity.
We have dissolved away the limited I as in karmic imprints that determines fate.
Now we have become the master of our destiny by being our own light.
Set alight that innermost lamp and then we realize we are the enshrined light.
We are the body temple to the sacredness that we are.
As our inner fire grows,
Each chakra containing each reality blossoms.
We now have woken up our inner sun.
Every birthday we realize we have gone one round around the sun outside ourselves.
But now with the inner fire awake,
We have woken up the inner sun and all of our realities have started going around us.
We have liberated ourselves from having to be imprisoned by the mind,
Imprisoned by karma,
Imprisoned by time and imprisoned by our body,
Mind and circumstance.
Now we simply are in the beingness and in this beingness we are liberated,
Liberated to have our own source union joys.
We are the jeeva mukti,
Liberated while alive,
Liberated while alive to be the spirit having the human experience.
Now each moment of ours is scriptures.
We are guided from our knowing.
We know that in the core within is the we which means the collective expanded consciousness representing all the masters in the highest intent as our now.
So in the blessings of being,
The inner lamplit and nurturing and growing that innermost sacred fires of mother Kundalini,
We have now woken up all the immense potential that is within each of us.
The human in us is now transforming to be the angelic,
The angel that described with wings.
This in reality is the human potential each one of us have our own unique geniuses.
Much like the wings of an angel,
Each one of us are so extraordinary.
This we have lit and all these possibilities now shine through us as in the beingness,
In the grace of our inner lamplit.
This inner lamplit can be experienced in many ways.
The reason why we feel tranquil and a sense of harmony when we watch the sunset or when we watch the sacred fire,
A lamp or a candle burn is the golden hue within.
That golden color is the lamp within each of us.
Visualize this lamp at all times.
Know each breath from source,
Roots.
Take a deep inhale all the way from the roots and hold that breath and visualize the golden light from the root chakra and exhale from the crown chakra,
Imagining we are the huge beautiful immense light that is constantly ascending upwards.
Our inner lamp is the golden halo that is adorned by all sages of enlightenment.
This golden light within us is a vortex and this vortex of timelessness and time of all of source light within our human experience and as that of the states of Turiya,
The super mind guiding our mind in its intellect,
Knowledge and memory is the blessings of being the yogi,
The inner lamplit,
The power of we empowered in the grace blessings of expanded immense beingness that is whom we are,
The yogi.
