And when we come to meditation,
You keep coming,
You get told the same thing every time you come.
I don't think you'd go to a fashion show and see the same clothes every time you go.
But the reason is that it's our natural nature to be peaceful.
And we've forgotten,
We've completely forgotten that we're energy.
We think we're physical,
And we live in the physical.
We have physical relationships,
We have responsibilities,
We have families,
We have jobs.
But that doesn't mean that we're eternally physical.
We play a role as actors through our physical bodies.
But eternally we're energy.
And the energy is like a point of light in the center of our forehead.
And when we come to meditation,
We're encouraged to think about this.
Because that original energy of light,
Of soul,
Is silent and peaceful.
And full of all our power.
And when we get caught up in the physical,
Over a long,
Long period of time,
We lose our power.
And the little bit of power that's left,
We think we're still quite up and running.
But it's just like nothing compared to when we have full power.
So to regain our strength and our power and our understanding,
If we practice being peaceful,
That's the foundation of Rasa Yoga.
And what I'm encouraged to talk to you about,
Actually,
Is that many people want to find out about God.
Now God's just a name,
The same as you give anybody a name,
Jim or Jimmy or James or whatever.
But who are they unless you know them as a person?
So the word God is just a word.
Although there's a huge vibration attached to that word.
And if you remember that word even,
There is a bit of power there.
A bit of strength,
A bit of calmness.
But in Rasa Yoga we go further.
We encourage ourselves to get to know who that personality is.
Who is God?
Similarly in India,
Many people call themselves God.
So when we come to look at meditation,
We begin to understand that God is the father of every soul in the world.
Billions of souls are all the children of God.
And as such,
Each and every one of us are recorded in his memory track.
Which means he knows us.
He knows us,
But we haven't got to know who he is.
He's the father of all souls.
He's the highest energy ever.
He's the king of energy.
The emperor of energy.
No human can ever have that energy.
And when we practice meditation and become aware of that soul,
It's like a transference of power.
It doesn't all happen in a one hour.
We just come once and go away and that would be it.
Slowly,
Slowly,
Our energy comes back to us.
How else are we going to get our energy back when it's all tied up in the physical?
We can't just go and say,
I want my energy back,
I want my energy back.
But when I remember that one,
That one's free,
That one's not physical.
And there can be that feeling of my energy being restored.
Every time I have meditation and remember the one above.
So that one isn't just the one above.
That one lives in the original home of souls where we came from.
It's the world of light,
The world of souls.
People call it Nirvana.
That one lives there.
And we used to live there but we've been here for a long time.
But when we remember that one in that home and practice being peaceful,
Thankful.
Oh gosh,
Thank you.
We start to feel some of our strength returning,
Hope.
Someone out there knows me,
Really knows me,
Really loves me.
They don't love me just because I look good or I'm healthy or I'm wealthy or whatever.
Or I happen to be born into the family.
This one really loves me and knows me.
So this is the one that the world calls God.
But God,
The word God is just a name.
That one's real name is Shiva,
The highest soul.
It's not just sitting and forcing myself to try and remember that I'm supposed to be peaceful and I don't feel peaceful.
And oh gosh,
I have so many worries.
Because this is physical life.
But spiritual life is,
Originally I am full of peace.
But the bonus of being full of peace is your power comes back.
In a way that you would never have imagined.
The qualities that that one has.
When we're the child,
We can start to understand those qualities that they also belong to me.
But I didn't know and I didn't know I could use them and I didn't know what they were.
Everything negative makes us feel low and uses up our energy at a fast speed.
But when I start to think of peace,
Love,
Happiness,
Strength,
Contentment,
All these virtuous energies,
My power goes up.
I become stronger,
Happier,
Friendlier,
Kinder,
Healthier.
So meditation is not just sitting,
Struggling to be peaceful.
It's sitting with the awareness of who I am and who that one is.
And all the qualities that belong to that one actually also belong to me.
It's sitting with the awareness of who I am and who that one is.
And all the qualities that belong to that one actually also belong to me.
Om Shanti.

Om Shanti.
Om Shanti.
Om Shanti.
Om Shanti.
Om Shanti.
Om Shanti.
Om Shanti.
Om Shanti.
Om Shanti.
Om Shanti.
Om Shanti.
