Raja Yoga

I didn't know, how could I know, that all I had to do was turn away from the world and my stake in maya, and immediately I would be purified and find moksha in every moment.

"Raja Yoga is the place of indivisible monism. If you enter the ONE you lose sight of the MANY." ~Bhagavan Nityananda

O my mind, take thy rest. 

I love it, it's huge, and it's coming right at me!

Stop, stop trying to compare and take credit, stop.

It is a gift, all is a gift.

To have a guru is a gift. To have shaktipat is a gift.

To have the divine shakti move and purify my body with kriyas is a gift.

To have the divine shakti present in my hearing as nadas is a gift.

This bliss, this infatuation with everything, which is My Beloved, is all a gift. There isn't enough merit in all of the world for me to buy this gift from my guru, and it wouldn't work if there was.
