Dancing with the Master - Sri Vast

Jag har deltagit på musik- och yogafestivalen Yoga Mela de två senaste somrarna. Detta är ett fantastiskt event som äger rum i juli varje år utanför Eslöv, på ett ställe som kallas Divinya. Divinya drivs av Guruji Sri Vast och är ett "Center for Evolutionary Consciousness - a living and learning community". Sri Vast släppte 2009 boken "Dancing with the Master" som ger ett smakprov på hans budskap, ofta beskrivna som "referat" av hans Satsang´s från hans Ashram i Indien.

Från boken: "Guruji Sri Vast is an enlightened spiritual Master from South India... Guruji shares a joyful wisdom around the world, inspiring towards total Liberation" (se bild från bokens insida nedan).

Några eX4mat!va utdrag från boken (mina egna överstrykningar):

For me, when I breathe,
I experience the whole universe
as breathing along with me,
as in one single breath.
When I look into the sky,
there is a feeling of the whole sky breathing together.
There is an interaction with the wholeness,
experiencing myself - dissolving into the whole.

When happiness is totally independent, when happiness is not depending on something outside of you.
When your happiness is totally independent and not based on what is happening around you.
When the freedom is not to fight against or to fight for.
When the question of freedom is not there, that is Liberation.

We are all part of this whole, and we ourselves are whole.
Whatever world you see, it is not something different from what you are.
The whole Existence is you.

Expand yourself,
expand your relationships, expand your experience of this Existence.
Life is happening only once in this way. Let it happen totally.
There is no excuse,
why not to be free.

I want you to be according to yourself,
without any reference point.
You are just part of the divine dance.
Just dance with Life.
Just dance with the whole Existence.
In that dance you will realize that you are Endless.
Be unconditionally happy.
Be happy without a reason.

Liberate, totally liberate,
until the question of Liberation disappears within you.
Flow, just flow with the Life.
In that flow you and me will disappear.
The comparison of your inner and outer world will disappear.
Without knowing you will realize,
that you are already there.

When I say "I am something",
then I see the comparison.
I see something is greater than me
and I see something is below me.
When I say "I am nothing", then I see everything as nothing. I see nobody.
The state of "Nobodyness".
When I experience that I am nobody,
I do not need "anybody"
to make me "somebody".

One thing needs to be understood,
Life is a beautiful gift
to be celebrated every moment
which you exist.
And you are here for that.
So transform every moment
as a part of celebration
with the love and compassion towards all beings,
including yourself.

Within you,
if you listen to yourself,
you will see there is something
natural which belongs to you.
Something that is untouched,
which is not polluted,
which is not accessible to all these conditions.
That is your true Nature.

I am very selfish and I love only me.
Out of this love towards myself,
I am exploding, it is overflowing.
Without any condition, without any direction, without any destination, it is simply overflowing. I cannot expect anyone to love me, because then I have to stop my flow. I do not have the power to stop my own love,
it is just flowing.
For me love is a one-way traffic.

If you want to follow me,
follow my Freedom.
Without that Freedom I am nothing.
Following the Guru means,
following the Freedom.
The Freedom of the Guru means,
he is free to love, he is free to share,
free to care, he is free to be.

Tomorrow is not guaranteed,
tomorrow may not be possible at all.
The only thing possible is
this very moment.
You are alive, and the moment is open to that aliveness.
Only the person, who is able to appreciate this biggest gift and miracle of being alive in this moment,
knows what Life is.

You are the architect of your world.
Instead of going for a big walk
against the war, go for a walk to see the flowers.
When more and more people go to see the beauty of this Life, it becomes alive.
The beauty becomes Reality.
