All of us are instruments of the Self - you are, and I am too. Shaivism, a very high philosophy, says that the Self is Consciousness. It illumines all our psychic instruments - the mind, the ego, the subconscious, and the intellect. They are sup­posed to be inert, but the Self makes them conscious. The Self also illumines the senses. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ On November 5, 1971 Swamiji received a powerful wisdom initiation from his guru, Swami Muktananda while living in his ashram. From the instructions Swamiji received that day, Shiva Process Self-Inquiry as we know it was birthed. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Grace is another world living at the core of this world. It is invisible to the gross eye of materiality, but it is completely real. The world of grace is more real than the material world, though only those who are awake experience it. In truth, grace is the very underpinning of the whole universe. One who has had the experience of grace becomes intoxicated with God. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ To the yogi, every moment is an opportunity for spiritual growth. As lockdown ends in Melbourne we’re relaunching the Shiva Path blog today, with a focus on sharing the fruit of our sadhana from this transformational, turbulent time.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🙏🧡⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Feeling stuck? Meditate with us every morning at 8:30am live right here on @the.ashram IGTV during Melbourne lockdown, which ends this Thursday! Check out our story to vote for the your preffered day of the week for a live Upward Shift meditation moving forward. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Have you signed up for our free community satsang tonight?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It is only because this love exists inside you that you search for joy outside in other people and things; you want to celebrate hap­piness. To make this love arise inside, meditate on the Self. To at­tain love turn within.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 'Om Namah Shivaya is the redeeming mahamantra. Through this mantra you cross the world of change without pain.' — Baba Muktananda, Mukteshwari⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
