"It's good to be at this Ground Zero" - Acharya Shunya
(Contemplations from Karma Yoga session 25).
When we offer whatever we do to G.O.D. (Aarpanam Buddhi), and accept whatever comes, good or bad, as prasad (Ishvara Prasada Buddhi), we become free from the chains of karma/ego - this is Ground Zero.
A good way to practice Ishvara Prasada Buddhi is the "SAS" method (Sit/Accept Sadhana). This is when we realize, as Arjuna said, "Everything is right as it is."
Only with the vision of a Rishi (G.O.D. consciousness) "can we stand in the middle of the fire (samsara), and say(know) "nothing is happening."" This is true yoga/union, the ultimate Sakshi Bhava (Witness/G.O.D. consciousness), when the only reality is G.O.D.; when we have become the "Knower of the Field" This is the ultimate "zooming out", or is it "zooming in"? It is both, ONE and the same thing.
I really appreciated the practical and clear presentation and slides, as well as the conversations at the end, which brought the teachings to life experience, and so inspirational.
Jai Maa! Thank you Guruji, team, and kula!
Jai Maa Jayanti !
Thank you for sharing—so timely. 🙏
Your reminder about SAS felt like a true safeguard, especially as I was confronted yesterday with an urgent medical intervention for my son.
During the two hours I spent driving in heavy traffic, Guruji’s words and example stayed with me the whole time. They held me through the samsaric whirlpool of emotions and erratic thoughts. I felt immediate inner shifts, and a deep silence gradually filled my mind. As I write this now, my son is stable and under control.
I am so grateful for this journey on Karma Yoga. It continues to support me in all aspects of my life, in the pleasant experiences and the unpleasant ones. But this SA Sadhana is a deep teaching that I need to listen to, to remember and practice 🙏. JaiGuruDev
