They hover around you and keep away the extraneous thought forms that come from the homes of your neighbors or close friends and relatives. They all mentally chant \u201cAum Nama\u1e25 \u015aiv\u0101ya,\u201d keeping the vibration of the home alive with high thoughts and mantras so that the atmosphere is scintillating, creating for you a proper environment to delve within yourself. The fact that the devonic world is involved is one more good reason why you must choose a specific time for s\u0101dhana and religiously keep to that time each day, for you not only have an appointment with yourself but with the devas as well. <br><br>By performing the pa\u00f1cha nitya karmas, living the yamas and niyamas to the best of your ability and performing your daily s\u0101dhana, your religion becomes closer and closer to you in your heart. You will soon begin to find that God \u015aiva is within you as well as within the temple, because you become quiet enough to know this and experience that Lord \u015aiva\u2019s superconscious mind is identical to yours; there is no difference in Satchid\u0101nanda. From this state, you will experience the conscious mind as \u201cthe watcher\u201d and experience its subconscious as the storehouse of intellectual and emotional memory patterns. In daily life you will begin to experience the creativity of the subsuperconscious mind, as the forces of the First World are motivated through love as you fulfill your chosen dharma in living with \u015aiva. <br><br>Thus our religion is an experiential religion, from its beginning stages to the most advanced. You have already encountered the magic of the temple, and you have had uplifting experiences within your home shrine. Now, as you perform your s\u0101dhana, you will enjoy spiritual experiences within yourself on the path of self-transformation. <br><br>It is up to you to put your religion into practice. Feel the power of the Gods in the p\u016bj\u0101. If you don\u2019t feel them, if you are just going through ritual and don\u2019t feel anything, you are not awake. Get the most out of every experience that the temple offers, the guru offers, the devas offer, that your life\u2019s experiences, which you were born to live through, offer. In doing so, slowly the ku\u1e47\u1e0dalin\u012b begins to loosen and imperceptibly rise into its yoga. That\u2019s what does the yoga; it\u2019s the ku\u1e47\u1e0dalin\u012b seeking its source, like the tree growing, always reaching up to the Sun. <br><br>It is up to you to make the teachings a part of your life by working to understand each new concept as you persist in your daily religious practices. As a result, you will be able to brave the forces of the external world without being disturbed by them and fulfill your dharma in whatever walk of life you have chosen. Because your daily s\u0101dhana has regulated your nerve system, the quality of your work in the world will improve, and your mood in performing it will be confident and serene. <br><br>When your s\u0101dhana takes hold, you may experience a profound calmness within yourself. This calmness that you experience as a result of your meditation is called Satchid\u0101nanda, the natural state of the mind. To arrive at that state, the instinctive energies have been lifted to the heart chakra and beyond, and the mind has become absolutely quiet. This is because you are not using your memory faculty. You are not using your reason faculty. You are not trying to move the forces of the world with your willpower faculty. You are simply resting within yourself. Therefore, if you are ever bothered by the external part of you, simply return to this inner, peaceful state as often as you can. You might call it your \u201chome base.\u201d From here you can have a clear perception of how you should behave in the external world, a clear perception of your future and a clear perception of the path ahead. This is a superconscious state, meaning \u201cbeyond normal consciousness.\u201d So, simply deepen this inner state by being aware that you are aware. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NANDINATHA S\u016aTRA 89: FULFILLING ALL HER NEEDS AND WANTS<br>\u015aiva\u2019s devotees who are husbands practice the mystical law of caring for and giving the wife all she needs and all she wants, thus releasing her \u015bakti energy from within, making him contented, successful and magnetic.
