AUM Shree Ganeshay NamaH I surrender myself unto Ishwara. Shree Gurubhyo NamaH. I surrender myself unto the saints and sages of the world to be guided by their wisdom. I try to mean or intend what I say. Sthira sukhamasanam. As I sit straight in the posture, I move away from the flow of thoughts and get rooted in the motionless Being, Sthira. I try to see that the Being is motionless, changeless whether the mind and body move or not. Again even when the mind moves, I am the immovable Being. Now the question is, when the mind moves do I tend to forget my Being ? It appears so. It looks when the mind moves, I tend to forget my Being. That is the crux of the issue. Why so ? Again when the mind moves, creating the opposites, pleasure-pain etc. I tend to forget my changeless Being. Why so ? The reason could be I have not created enough feeling for the Being, at the same time I am addicted to non-stop thinking. Therefore, I have to get connected to my own Being. Now as I sit in the posture I am aware of the Being, my Being. The Being is Brahman, I will come to it later, but first I am aware of my Being. Let the mind move, I don't have a fight with the mind, I am aware of my Being. In fact, mind cannot exist independant of myself, that is besides the point. Now I am aware of my Being. Sthira sukhamasanam. Awareful Being is asanam. I am aware of my Being. Generally I tend to seek happiness in the movement of mind, that is samsara, is called a samsara. I try to discover the joy which is same as the peace of Being. I am aware of my own Being. The peace of the awareful Being is the real happiness, sukham. I am at home as I abide in the awareful Being, simply I Am. Be aware of the smile on the lips. It signifies samattvam, the sameness of my own Being. Sameness is nothing but freedom from all unevenness. I try to become free from all unevenness, like friend or foe, simply I Am. Samoham. I am the sameness. Can I feel the sameness, both in pleasure and pain ? Can I be the sameness of the Being in both pleasure and pain ? Put that seed of a question in the consciousness and leave it there. Samoham. Be aware of the eyes, which are of course lightly closed. Now eyes do not see, but I see. Pay attention to that, now eyes are not seeing but I am seeing. I am aware of the eyesight non-operational. I am aware of the eyes not seeing. Suppose eyes see a flower, I am aware of the flower. Now eyes do not see the flower, I am aware of the eyes not seeing by not seeing the flower. Just being the pure awareful Being, do I miss something ? Do I miss the flower, however beautiful it may be ? Now eyes are not seeing anything, I am aware of the eyes not seeing, am I losing something ? There is no hurry to answer, answer should not come from the memory of a book or a statement that I heard earlier, answer should come from within. It will come at its time. In the meanwhile I am open. I Am. Samoham. I Am. Aum ShantiH ShantiH ShantiH. Relax, sit at ease, keep the eyes closed. Try to be the feeling I Am, that is a great sadhana. Slowly open the eyes.
