Meditating in the Himalayas

एकै वाहं जगत्यत्र िद्वतीया का ममापरा  ।  पश्यैता दुष्ट मय्येव िवशन्त्यो मिद्वभूतयः  ।। "I am only one here in the world. Who is the second besides me?  See, O Dushta, these my manifestations entering into Me!" ---Devî Mâhâtmyam, X-5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Her home is small, in small, minute particles of existence; her home is big, the whole, when we count the totality of the universe. The entire universe is her big home. 'Big' we say from our standards of big and small; for her, big is her unmanifest, infinite, unbounded, eternal, immortal reality of Being, which fortunately is there present in the deepest state of every expression, small or big, in the whole universe. For herself, everything is even; for a mother, all the children are alike; for Mother Divine, the existence of straw is her home. Straw is as dear to Mother Divine as the elephant, as man, as Shiva. All the enormously enchanting expressions and even the tiniest, inert particle, they are all her

Quote from Maharishi on Krishna Kumbha Mela, 1966 MAHARISHI: ...When we understand intellectually, when we can conceive of the Absolute as taking a form or if we conceive the form of the Absolute - it is like the ocean, the same water, silent water, springing up as a wave or some other things of the sea - they are different, but the same water rising up as a wave. So, Incarnations (Avataras) are the same water, the same material, of the Absolute, appearing as a form. The same sap appearing as a leaf. We are talking of the form of the Absolute - but in Gita Lord Krishna has made this point very, very clear. Bluntly he said 'The ignorant takes me to be taking a form. The unmanifested has taken a form, has manifested itself. This I am considered by the ignorant. That means even so I am in form, I am not manifested.` The unmanifested in form, not manifested in form. The Absolute has not become relative. The unmanifested has not become manifested. Remaining absolute, it has assumed

"...the priceless transcendental nectar in which saints and seekers lose themselves and forget everything during their deep meditations in silent barren places — when that same nectar, that very same experience is had in nearness to the lotus feet of Guru Dev, in an unmoving and stable manner, with the eyes open and in a completely wakeful state, the incomparably blissful transcendental torrent floods the inside and outside, and the mind is drowned in ecstasy. Certainly this state in the nearness to the lotus feet of Guru Dev is much more desirable and enjoyable than the state where we forgot everything in samadhi. In that state at the lotus feet of Guru Dev, wave upon wave of the bliss of samadhi rises in myriads of forms and channels in complete wakefulness. That is the experience of jivan mukti, by the grace of the lotus fee of Guru Dev. The experience of the unshakable bliss of samadhi, when we are completely awake, is the jivan mukti, drowned in which the great
