silent. Close your eyes.
Feel the body absolutely frozen.
Gather your consciousness inwards.
This is what is meant
by turning the heart
from outside to inside.
Look deeply. Find your roots.
This silence is the miracle
that you are carrying within yourself.
Deeper... and deeper... and deeper,
without any fear -- it is your own sky.
Open your wings and fly
to any heights you want.
There is no obstruction anywhere,
just the courage is needed.
Blessed is this evening.
Ten thousand people are entering
into a deep silence,
into nothingness.
Precious are these moments.
Feel the splendor and the beauty of silence.
Nivedano...
(Drumbeat)
Relax. Let go.
Die completely and totally.
This is just to make clear
that within you is a consciousness
that can never die,
a consciousness
which is connected with the cosmos.
It is eternal.
It has no personality,
no individuality.
It is sheer joy not to be.
When you come back,
bring this joy and this fresh laughter,
these fresh roses and their fragrance,
with you. Slowly slowly
they will become your very breathing.
Unless meditation becomes
a natural, spontaneous phenomenon,
you have not touched
even the periphery of meditation.
Deeper and deeper.
Die to the past, die to the future.
Only this moment become
just like an arrow
going to the very depths.
Nivedano...
(Drumbeat)
Come back...
Sit down like buddhas.
In deep silence, in great joy.
Okay, Maneesha?
Yes, Beloved Master.
Can we celebrate the gathering of ten thousand buddhas?
Yes, Beloved Master!
