A note on sadhana: Antarmukha Samaradhya

A doctor said: I have treated so many patients. They had pain, but I did not have any.

Want to avoid pain? Become the doctor that treats you!

Learn to get out of your body and enter the world. Your pains don’t belong to the world.

They will just disappear!

Think. Happiness comes to a person in pain if he can sleep. When did you not have any pain? When you were asleep or unconscious or before you were born or after you are gone. Notice that in all these states, time is not flowing when you get out of yourself to become the world, not aware of your body.

Why do you focus on the hurting part? Move your attention away to a part that doesn’t hurt. The world is the part that doesn’t hurt. Move into that, and witness yourself from that vantage point.

Witness is neither a criminal nor a judge. Who is witnessing you? The world. If you are witnessing yourself, who are you? The world.

The formula for health, wealth, happiness, and creativity is not being a small part of the world, but being the whole of it. Can I be the world? Yes, you can. Is it true? Yes, it is true. The world is so big and I am so small. How can the small contain the big? There is no small or big.

Just think. Wherever you are, or whatever you do, you experience the world through thinking or feeling. After sleep, the next day you are ready for more. Where is this world of your experience? In your thoughts and feelings. The world is inside you.

How can you see yourself being the world? By being a witness. How do you become a witness?

1. Yoganidra.

2. Relaxation meditation.

3. By anesthesia.

4. By sleep.

5. By death of your smallness called your ego.

6. By realising who you are.

May you be blessed with the knowledge of who you really are. Knowledge of who you are is called Ātmavidyā or Śrīvidyā. It is best learned under a trained Guru.

I have become old and infirm. I want to just do my sādhana. But I do want to help you. So, I will conduct classes over the internet. You can join the classes on Śrīvidyā from anywhere in the world. Details of class information can be found at www.devipuram.com

Now you have a very good teacher, Guru Karuṇa. Go to him. He will guide you well. I am sure the Goddess of creativity Bālā Kāmākhyā and the majestic power of love Lalitā will guide him and you properly.
