Kashi Ashram: Ma Jaya

Namaste.

When you receive wisdom from your own intuition, you have the unique sense that you are dependent upon your true self. You arrive at the point of self-revelation as your instinct is tuned up. The ego clouds your intuition by bringing you thoughts of unworthiness.

As you conquer the domain of your conscious mind, you begin to pick up pieces of falseness coming from your ego, or your lower mind. The ego creates its own world for you to live in.
Vigilance in meditation brings the fastest results to understanding your own intuition. You learn in spiritual practice to let the light of spirituality enter into your consciousness and show you your beautiful intuition.

The light reveals its source, and that source is the Formless God, which is beyond time and space. The world is an amazing tangle of different paths or ways. Spirituality belongs to all ways. You cannot confine the range of your enlightenment – the Universal Mother will not let you. Seek joy in your own heart of being, and bring this joy to others.

This is my Puja and this is my Prayer.
I love you all so very much.

Love,
Ma Jaya

Namaste,

In preparation for the first night of Durga Puja, which is the Night of Mother Kali, this meditation will take you into the Mother’s heart.It is up to you how deep you want to go.

Allowing your breath to go deep inside of your solar plexus, you must sit up as straight as you can and breathe in through your nostrils deep inside of your belly.Hold the breath for as long as you can, generating the Mother’s flames, and breathe out with great force out of the top of your head.

Meditation and Thoughts

As you begin to sit,  watch your thoughts pass through.
Watch these thoughts like a detached observer.
Look for a tiny second between a thought passing and a thought appearing. Once you begin to look for this to happen, the space between thoughts becomes longer and longer. Never force anything; it will happen.

It is an amazing thing to watch your thoughts.
The one word that works all the time is “NEXT.”
As the thought invades your meditation,  just say,”Next,” and watch the ego become confused. This is your opportunity to breathe more deeply.

As you recognize your thoughts as negative or positive, you open your way to knowing that you are not your thoughts.
Recognizing your thoughts can bring the possibility of illumination.
By keeping your mind open, you begin to see what you never could see before. The open mind can receive the light of illumination.

Namaste,

In practicing meditation, it is important to develop a steady, penetrating awareness of your heart chakra.
Once the heart is open and flowing, meditation becomes easier.
Practicing meditation helps people cultivate a strong awareness of all their actions during their lives.
It takes time, but it is worth it.

During your day, begin to increase the frequency of noticing your surroundings.
Notice the sensations of your breath in your body.
This develops mindfulness.
The mystical fire of love burns in your heart center.

God dwells on the altar of your heart.
To discover your mystical nature, you have to quiet your mind.
A good way to do this is by simply counting.
Breathing in one, breathing out one.
Breathing in two, breathing out two.
Do this for 11 breaths.
If you lose your concentration, simply start again.

It is not how well you can do it; it matters that you want to do it.
The essence of your soul shines as the radiant sun and glows on your face as you live your life.
You can find yourself living in the secret stream of love.
Begin your day, each day with the practice of mindfulness and gratitude.
Each day take time to be quiet, and feel divine love breathing inside of you.

I love you.
Love,
Ma Jaya

Namaste,

It is so vital that you count your blessings to appreciate what they possess. Inside every acknowledged blessing are more blessings.
It is as if the Universe can hear and see your gratitude, and it sends you even more to be grateful for. This will bring you a positive outlook on life.
You can cultivate gratitude and trace its importance throughout religious traditions over thousands of years.
The secret to cultivate gratitude in our busy lives is to constantly be aware. Be aware of all that your fellow human beings contribute to your well-being. Be aware that your teachers live to contribute happiness and joy to your life. Know that you have received and are still receiving more blessings each moment, especially if you are aware and grateful.
Take a few minutes each day to do an exercise in thankfulness.
A grateful outlook does not require a life full of material comforts.
An interior attitude of thankfulness can be sustained regardless of life’s circumstance.

I love you all,
Love,
Ma Jaya

Namaste,

Liberation is the awakening to our primal harmony.
It brings us back to our roots, and yet we live fully in the moment.
Mystical enlightenment is an inner truth that you know and spread, simply by breathing in and out the moment.

On the inside, you are totally different.
On the outside you look the same, except for a light that is always lit.

To understand your absolute spirit is to understand the spirit in all peoples of the world.
In meditation, you can receive glimpses of your Divine Spirituality.
You know that you are one with everyone and everything.
The Silence is inside of you and flows from your heart.
You feel in the silence that you are spirit, and that this spirit is your ultimate self.
Feel that which is always prior to thought and sensation.
Feel the Self that you have searched for.
Do not try to hold on to anything at all.

With practice of watching your breath, you will eventually feel the Emptiness.
Remember that the Universal Mother is closer to you than yourself, for you are the Mother  - and She is a reflection of you.

I love you all so very much.
Love,
Ma Jaya

Namaste,

We all have insight; we all have intuition.
They are one and the same.
Awareness is the secret to understanding your own intuition.
The Mother of Intuition lives deep inside of you.
The ego clouds your intuition as well as the desire to understand your insight of all things.

In meditation, the ego is drowned in the Mother’s love.
It is the tendency of the mind to reach out and try to hold on to anything that brings you instant gratification
Thus addiction is born, and it grows.
Addiction comes to us as the ego whispers, “Do not let go!”
The ego teaches of attachment.

Namaste,

In all of us there is a sense of home when we are where we want to be.
This Home is deep in every human being.
This is deep, compassionate love.
You want everyone to live in this love.

The state of compassion includes the space of wholeness.
When you are in this state, you never lose your sense of purpose.
The Buddha said, “If you truly love yourself, you would never harm another.”
This is the state of compassion.
Every time we harm another, we hurt ourselves.
When we direct love toward our heart, we can direct it to others.

It is the Mantra of your Beloved that is the Mantra of the Soul. Simply by saying “Christ is my Beloved” (or whoever your Beloved is) can open you up to yourself in so many different ways.
If undertaken gradually with full awareness, Japa will eventually bring your hidden desires, fears, and complexes out of your ego-mind to the mental surface. When this occurs over a period of time, the seeker views those previously hidden samskaras with the attitude of an unconcerned witness. This process relieves the mind of all tensions and stress.

Namaste,

The greatest ecstasy you can find in the human body is becoming one with the Beloved.
This can occur when you least expect it, mostly during meditation.
The body partakes of the feast of the soul.
The Soul pervades the body with the sensation of the breath coming in and out.
This is merging love into love.
The inner relationship between Soul and the body can bring a great peace to the body.

When we are self-indulged with serving our body with food and drugs and such, we forget about the Soul and fall into the ego’s trap.
No matter who your Beloved is, just think on your Beloved and feel your heart open - especially when you yearn to be held by your Beloved.

Namaste,

You can go deep in to your heart through your chakras.
The chakras are like markers of where you are in the moment.
As you sit and breathe deeply, feel the heat gather at the base of your spine.
Concentrate on the flames coming from the heat.
Feel the heat spreading all around to the front of you and then back to your spine.
You are feeling more relaxed with each breath.

The chakras are like a road map ….

Namaste,

You all seek the freedom of living in your spiritual essence. Spiritual poverty has no place on the path. To ask to get closer to your essential self, you need courage, determination, and strength. The lovers of the Universal Mother travel in the opposite direction of most of humanity. They follow the path of absolute, unconditional love.
The true self belongs to the Mother within.

Namaste,

Sit in a comfortable position and bring your hands to pranam.
Using your thumbs, find that sensitive spot between your breasts.
Let your attention come to the center of your chest.
Just feel your attention right at the sternum, just under that bone.
For some there might be a slight, or more than slight, heaviness there. Perhaps there is pain that is noticeable, born of fears from lifetimes.

Don’t try to label it, just feel it.
Is there sadness?
Do you feel stress in your chest?
Reflect on the very center of the heart.

Namaste,

One thing you have to understand is your individuality.
Though we are all the same, there is the uniqueness that the Universal Mother loves so much.
It is only when you deny your strength that you make yourself weak.
By denying your own worth, you deny others your beauty.

The key to knowing who you are is balance, Divine Balance.
You have to love yourself and take care of yourself: eat right, exercise and meditate.
By doing this, you will have balance and you will not give away any of your power unless you want to.
We all live in the state of internal now, and you have to know what it is you want from the Universe in this internal now.
Not later, or even before - RIGHT NOW.
With great patience, wait as you do everything to make your dreams come true.
Your prayers are your power … read more of this teaching from Ma Jaya Sati Bhagavati

Namaste,

The ego is like a separate entity over which the mystic can gain mastery.
But the ego does not like to give up its ability to rule us fully.
It does not like to give up its freedom by losing a great influence over us.
You need to learn to separate the heart-mind from the ego-mind.
You do this by turning your attention to both your Beloved and the Mother of intuition.
In this way, you break the stranglehold … read more of this teaching

Namaste,

When you are in the flowing moments, all is well and all can be overcome. You don’t think about your deep problems as you flow into the Formless Sensations that you were born to feel.
You are less afraid to explore your own spirituality.
It takes courage to get to know your Divine Self.
So much must be left behind.
Everything that stops your life from being fully lived is always left behind, and you feel almost free as you float in joy and happiness.
There are many miracles in your life… continue reading Ma Jaya’s Blog entry.

Namaste,

There is always a divine guidance inside of you.
It is the Mother of Intuition.
Merely wishing for intuition is not going to work.
You have to trust the wisdom that created you.
Surrender to your own intuition
Trust in the miracle that you already are.
The Mother speaks through you.

When you have mastered the art of serving others, you begin to master yourself.
Know that inside of you are the Blessings of the Mother.
You only have to bring them to the surface.

Duality is not your friend; the ego brings you hesitation when you begin know that you are loved by the Mother.
The mystic knows that he or she is the Mother’s wish.
This is the dance of the mystic.

Sometimes you feel tremendous confusion; then suddenly, when you realize that there is no separation between you and the Mother, you begin to understand.
In this way you find your own strength.
Any name of any of Her many forms is a mantra unto itself.
By saying Her name, you begin to go deeper.
This is the Law of the Universe.
Though for each of us it is different, the deep love of the Mother for Her child is always the same.

You know in your heart that there is a consciousness in a different reality other than this world.
And yet there is no separation.
When you begin to know how much you are loved, it is like butterflies in your heart that feels like bliss.
Go into meditation, and all of a sudden it is there -this wholeness that is you.
The outer world is just a reflection of your consciousness.
When you wake up in a happy mood, everything around you looks good.
When you wake up with any negative thoughts you went to sleep with, the world looks dark.

If you can remember that the Mother absorbs all of your negativity, you can begin to feel free.
She knows of your existence.
She also knows we all live in Her net of love.
You can feel Her presence if you look into your stillness.
She is our Beloved, and She has the quality of infinite tenderness.
She is the raging wind to the ego mind and the calm sunset to our peaceful heart.
She is the sweetness of our lives, the intimate Beloved of our hearts.
It is like floating in the sea after a shipwreck, and the Mother is the current that takes you to Her shores and loves you deeply.
I love you with all my heart.

Love,

“Focus on your in and out breath, and feel the breath expand.
Then pay no attention to the breath.
Keep your spine straight.
There is a subtle energy that rides up and down your spine.
Place your palms on your thighs or palms together in your lap.
Try to keep the eyes closed.
Just take notice of your breathing.
It flows in and it flows back out into space.
Little by little, you hook on to that rhythm.
The breath comes out into the clear blue sky infinite spaciousness.”
