SUPREME POWER
That which is common to all
In every living organism there is a common thing. That is not made of bone or flesh. Behind the bone and flesh and blood, definitely something is existing which has no name, no form, which has the feeling of its own Existence and it knows that it is Existing, and in whose presence the organism lives and functions. The same thing is existing in ALL living beings. This you need to remember. That’s all. This is the sadhana. If you remember this it is enough. It is also in non-living beings but in a different state, where it is static, passive, not dynamic as in living things. There it is Shivam, and in Living things it is Shakti. First understand the Shakti portion, then you can understand the Shivam portion. They are inseparable, Shivam and Shakti. Shivam can become Shakti, Shakti can become Shivam and the two can coexist. But all these are not needed now. First remember continuously that something exists behind the bone, flesh and blood that has a feeling of Existence, that is formless and knows it Exists. This is in all beings. This feeling, this remembrance we should have throughout the day. This must be your deepest practice. Not forgetting this is the sadhana.
It is a simple fact to remember. But even this we simple thing we are unable to do. As this is the case, think about how strong the mind is. Think about how weak we are, and how much strength we need to build to remember this simple fact throughout the day. Meditation, Devotion, Satsang, Parayana, Surrender – All these things collectively help us develop the strength to keep remembering this simple fact. Not forgetting this is the sadhana. If you do this, it is over.
So, find out why you aren’t remembering it. Where are you are missing it. What should you do to make sure you don’t miss. That’s all.
