Daaji conveys the great emphasis that spiritual and religious traditions lay on obedience and the
importance of obedience to guru and the scriptures in our spiritual path. In
this talk on obedience, Daaji says that people who follow the scripture or the
guru blindly are in bondage without understanding.
Understanding is
what gives us freedom and acts as the rope that binds us with the emotions
which are needed. We should not follow the spiritual dictums blindly or without
proper understanding but with the conviction in our hearts. If we think that we
like to obey because we love to obey, the thought will also go through our mind
when obedience, love, and surrender are unfolding on their own. This is the
reason that we will be becoming constantly undergoing self-development and a
natural change will happen from within. This natural change is Sahaj and that
is why this path is referred to as the Sahaj Marg tradition in the Heartfulness
Meditation. Sahaj Marg, which translates to The Natural Path, is a heart-based
meditation system.
Sahaj means
things that unfold naturally as an outcome of our heartfelt belief practice.
We can even ignore the words of the Vedas and the Gurus on the day when we
don’t feel like obeying because whatever has been told to us doesn’t give us self-satisfaction
or convincement to your heart. At this point, we have to forget them and follow
our own hearts. The Sahaj Marg of the Heartfulness Meditation makes us capable
of following the dictums, the teaching with conviction in our heart, out of
our own experience. The essential features of Sahaj Marg are Meditation,
Cleaning and Prayer. The unique element of the cleaning of impressions, called
samskara is influential in taking the right path in our life. We will be able
to choose the path right for us through the guidance of the heart-based
meditation on our personal experiences. The Heartfulness Meditation is an ideal
way to surrender ourselves to the spiritual gurus and philosophy
through understanding, obedience, and love. This will help us to attain a new
perspective for being happy. The meditation practices will adapt our hearts to
bring a transformation in our life. People from various walks of life share
their experiences with a unique way of Heartfulness meditation.
