Techniques to Experience God Quickly!

So you're looking for God? In fact, you want to see God as fast as possible because your love to see the Beloved Lord is overflowing? Well, you came to the right place! Below are my quick tips to experience God right now!

• Meditate on the mantra "Waheguru" in three parts "Wah", "Hey" and "Guru", with your focus at the Third Eye point between the eyebrows at the root of the nose. After 11 minutes you'll be done! Sit in silence and feel the vibration of the meditation. That's God!
• Close your eyes, now begin to imagine yourself slowly expanding to become the universe. You are the universe and the universe is you! Feel every cell of your body begin to merge into the entire universe. Now feel that you are merely a speck in the universe so infinite. Just a speck in the entire vastness of the universe! Stay in this feeling, then slowly return to the present moment. Smile. That's God!
• Look into the eyes of a human being or animal near you. Look at the vast Godly potential in that human being. The kindness, the sincerity, the eagerness to understand what they are. Now consider that the person you are looking at is actually you. There is no difference between you and them, you are them! Be in this feeling for a moment. That's God!

Ok so maybe some of you are looking for more longer-term solutions. Well below is the creme-de-la-creme of all spiritual and personal development technologies that I have come across:

• Book the Landmark Forum course
• Join a regular Kundalini Yoga class
• Go on a Kriya Yoga retreat
  
• Everday read Guru Nanak's Song of the Soul in Gurmukhi or English
• Book a White Tantric Yoga session
• Get up between 4am - 7am and meditate
• Have a cold shower in the morning
• Do a breathwalk in the park
  

I think this should keep you all busy for a few lifetimes ;)...

Quantum Physics and the Double Slit Experiment

Below is a classic video on the strange world of Quantum Physics - which is the science of atomic and sub-atomic particles and how these particles are act, react and interact under particular conditions. The double slit experiment opens a whole new realm of possibility about the nature of life and existence, which mainstream "Einstein" science is only beginning to accept. So here goes the infamous double-slit experiment:

Perspective gives you sight

Perspective gives you sight. Lack of perspective keeps you blind. Perspective is almost like creating a line. Another perspective comes and creates another line across the first one in a new direction. This process continues until there is a circle of perspective that gives a person a 360 degree view about life and existence. This is known as infinity or Third Eye, the inner eye of complete perspective. A human being then, through an increased perspective and clarity of perception gets a new dimension to life. The linear circle of perspective becomes a sphere.

Understand, that perspective leads to a new dimension to life, the linear becomes non-linear, the circle becomes a sphere! This is profound! Perspective will bring you to a new way of thinking, but once perspective creates a new dimension, this new dimension will bring you to a new way of seeing, a new way of being and a new way of perceiving infinity. So, what does this really mean in day-to-day life?

This means that a person begins to see all of life in a new Universal light. That everyone is just a human being, there is no such thing as a Sikh or a Muslim or a Hindu or a Jew or a Jain or a Buddhist. Everyone is just a human being. Also, a person begins to see that no one is better or worse than anyone else, no one is higher or lower, everyone just are as they are, and they are perfect as they are. Everyone! Every single person! Whether a person is a murderer or a prostitute, or whether a person is a Saint or a Queen, or an enemy or a friend. Everyone is perfect as they are, because that is how God made them. This is a Universal perspective which encompasses the entire of humanity and frees a person from the traps of the ego which attempts to separate, segregate and divide everyone.

So I would invite you the reader that today may you become open to a new perspective of life, allow a new way of thinking to enter into your being and expand you. Usually it is the perspective that you have the most "problem" with which you need to learn to accept. Don't live in fear or be in your head that "If I accept this, then so and so will happen". Let it be. Just absorb a new perspective through acceptance, and slowly you will begin to see a new dimension unfold to your life.

Using Love as a Gateway to Higher Consciousness

In this video Living Enlightened Master Paramahamsa Nithyananda talks about the difference between lust and love, the difference between something that is unique and something which is just an object. Paramahamsa uses many stories to explain the concept of love which I found very enlightening:

Peace by Piece

We must create peace,
Peace by piece,
Every part by part,
Every heart by heart.

Let us make a start,
Let peace be the art,
Of creating peace within,
Let us now begin.

Time for war is over,
Time for peace is here,
Of hate let's stand clear,
Let compassion be our spear.

Everything will add up,
Like water filling a cup,
If we change ourselves,
Things will change themselves.

Creating a paradigm shift,
With hope as our catalyst,
Humanity will unite,
Under one banner of light.

Just like the coloured rainbow,
Understands and knows,
It emerges from one light,
One source, one might.

We must unite in humanity,
Leaving behind our insanity,
This vision is not vanity,
It can be our chosen reality.

Your participation is requested,
Your participation is required,
Fill the heart with compassion,
Peace will become a passion.

Let us make a start,
Let peace be the art,
Of creating peace within,
Let us now begin.

We must create peace,
Peace by piece,
Every part by part,
Every heart by heart.

You are what you think

We always hear the phrase, "You are what you eat", and of course this is increasingly becoming apparent with a number of conditions now associated with not eating healthy, nourishing and rich food. However, what do you think about the quote:

"You are what you think" - Anonymous

How true or not true is this statement in your opinion? Please discuss by leaving some comments, it would be great to hear your views...

Getting to somewhere

Often we can get obsessed in life about getting to somewhere, whether it is that we want to be more spiritual, have more money or have more happiness in our life. Of course having goals is important, but what is also important is the journey we make to get towards our goal.

To be present in this moment, to be alive in this moment, to be gracious in this moment. We may not be alive tomorrow, but we are alive in this moment. One of the results of doing meditation, prayer and yoga is to stop the mind jumping between the past and the future and to live in the present.

But, you can have that feeling now, by just being in the present! Wow! Isn't it amazing to be alive? To live right now, right here? If you don't think so, it's perhaps because you're still trying to calculate the present. There's nothing to calculate! Just be! Also, there are varying degrees of being present which you may be interested to explore. Anyhow, let's end with a fitting quote by Ursula LeQuin and Buddha Avtaar:

"It is good to have an end to journey toward, but it is the journey that matters in the end" - Ursula LeQuin

"The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, nor to worry about the future, but to live the present moment wisely and earnestly." - Buddha Avtaar

Bhakti Yoga by Yogiraj Siddhanath Gurunath

The Sikh way of life is about complete devotion to God and the Sikh Holy Scripture, the Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, is a living master in the form of sound or Word, which makes the head bow to the heart. Every line or sutra of the Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji fulfills the yearing of a human being for love, the words of the Guru go right into the heart and remain there forever. Therefore, a person who is serious about progressing on their spiritual path should read the Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji in order to understand devotion at its best, all 1430 pages of it.

In the following video, Yogiraj Siddhanath Gurunath, who is an Enlightened Master, explains the concept of Devotion or Bhakti through a beautiful poem in the language of Marathi:

The Light Of My Life

The light of my life is the Guru,
The Guru is the light of my life,
The Shabad is the light of my soul,
The light of my soul is the Shabad.

Without You, Oh True Guru,
Where would I be?
Oh True Guru, Without You,
How could I see?

When I didn't even know it,
You guided my life,
You guided my life,
When I didn't even know it.

What can I possibly give to You,
Give to the Great Giver?
To You what can I possibly give,
Than my mind, body and soul.

How can words express my love,
My love for the Guru,
My love for the Guru,
How can words express my love.

The Shabad is the light of my soul,
The light of my soul is the Shabad,
The Guru is the light of my life,
The light of my life is the Guru.
