“When you are with someone you love very much,
you can talk and it is pleasant, but the reality
is not in the conversation.
It is simply in being together.
Meditation is the highest form of prayer.
In it you are so close to God that you don’t need to say a thing
It’s just great to be together.”
– Swami Chetananda
Meditation provides a deeper appreciation of the interrelatedness of all things and the part each person plays. The simple rules of this game are honesty with yourself about where you are in your life and learning to listen to hear how it is. Meditation is a way of listening more deeply, so you hear from a deeper space, exactly how it is. Meditation will help you quiet your mind, enhance your ability to be insightful and understanding and give you a sense of inner peace.
If you meditate regularly, even when you don’t feel like it, you will make great gains, for it will allow you to see how your thoughts impose limits on you. Your resistances to meditation are your mental prisons in miniature.
When I asked Maharajji how to meditate, he said, “Meditate like Christ.” I said, “Maharajji, how did Christ meditate?” He became very quiet and closed his eyes. After a few minutes, he had a blissful expression on his face and a tear trickled down his cheek. He opened his eyes and said, “He lost himself in Love.” Try the meditation of losing yourself in love….
~ Ram Dass
Thank YOU Krishna Das…I have been having much difficulty keeping my “monkey mind” in control!!
what song is that at the end called
Itchycoo Park, Small Faces
Love will do that every time. Getting loss in it is a dream come true in meditation . . .
“He lost himself in Love.” Christ Consciousness is LOVE Consciousness..and for all those who seek; to find; it is this; and so very simply; LOVE of the divine kind..and when found, the silly grins and profound tears..astounding..yes; “it’s all too beautiful”…
I love you
I love the art of Gene-Manuel Whirling. It’s really beautiful.
When you feel love meditation just happens
beautiful, thank you.
Thank you Krishna Das…..I am lost in love listening to your telling….and your singing…also surrounds me in love…
y r u calling him krishna das? KD is a kirtan singer.
eyes.
or face.
maybe cheek.
Beautiful
He is Ramdass
and then he cast maharaji into a lake of fire according to his loving father’s holy book – meditate on that
Meditate like Christ? No thanks. I don’t want to be like someone who wants me to suffer for not believing in his magic tricks. Be kind, do unto others, I’m all for that but If you have to cherry-pick the good parts from the nasty bits(which is 90% of the bible) “His” love isn’t very unconditional is it- if it was unconditional page one would say no belief required, no faith required- I love you now matter what- that would be unconditional- that would be consciousness. Stop hiding behind special words like Holy, Spiritual, Guru, Maharaji was jsut a guy in a blanket that somehow convinced people he was wise. and maybe he was smarter than the average Indian.
But there are no special people or places- there is just this one beautiful earth and universe and people suffering until they die and loving each other enough to create more life. for every kind and wise loving sage (not saying Neem Karoli Sai Baba wasn’t) there is someone that uses the same stuff to cause violence and to hinder knowledge and health medical practice.
Meditate like Carl Sagan or Stephen Hawking or Neil DeGrasse Tyson- with knowledge and logic and science not this nonsense.
Art can meaningfully adopt science in its practice and it is still art, yet science cannot meaningfully adopt art in its practice and still be science. Interesting indeed.
Christ was in the Bible
– he didnt write it, which is what you are referring to.
I’m not of the Christian faith, but I do respect their values. From my understanding and IMHO, I believe that the Christians are different from those of the Judeo-Bible. I am of the understanding, and please correct me if I am wrong, that With the coming of Jesus it was all about love after that. Just Love. The idea that Jesus lights all parts, not just “the good bits”, but again, this is just my humble opinion and I am not of this belief system.
Meditate like Christ, when he was nailed to the cross.
He felt love, not pain.
He was lost in love with everything.
Peace
yes!! exactly what “I” thought love is all that matters who cares about which religion is right, love is all that matters.
My heart opens from hearing those words. Thanks and namaste
Jesus was the person, Christ behavior was what he was illuminating. It “IS” whatever you want to make of it, nothing more, nothing less.
