So assume proper meditation posture,
shoulders back, chest out, abdomen comfortably in,
feet flat on the floor, spine nice and erect.
But assuming a good meditation posture,
then consciously relax,
and the shoulders may come forward a little bit, and that's okay.
You don't want to be straining or tensing in any way.
Lifting the gaze
to the point between the eyebrows,
and consciously feel
that as you lift the gaze, it's like turning a switch.
And you're turning off this outer material world.
And now you are in that inner sanctuary of Spirit,
the source of ever new joy, boundless love,
infinite wisdom and peace.
This is our true home.
This is the source of all our strength,
all our happiness, all our creativity.
In that interior sanctuary,
now, to withdraw the energy more from the body,
let us a few times inhale,
tensing the body a little bit,
and then holding briefly, and then exhale and relax.
And just do that several times, and each time you relax,
feel you're pulling the energy
more and more away from the body,
away from the outer world.
Now, just be aware of the
natural flow of the breath.
Don't try to slow it down or control it in any way,
just observe it.
Like you're an impartial observer,
separated from it, and feel with each breath,
you're sinking into a state of deeper relaxation,
and concentration,
and peace,
deeper, deeper, deeper into the peace
and stillness of the soul.
Now in that sanctuary within,
keeping your gaze at the point between the eyebrows,
let us listen to these words of Guruji,
as he led the devotees
into a prayer and meditation for world peace.
Guruji says,
“Close your eyes,
and concentrate deeply
at the center of divine consciousness between the eyebrows.
Feel the infinite love of God
within your heart.
Let your heart emanate that love for all the world.”
So let us do that now.
Feeling that tremendous wave of love
flowing from our hearts to the whole world.
Guruji goes on,
“Feel that your love is going forth like an invisible X-ray,
coursing through space,
into the hearts of the dictators and prime ministers,
and heads of all nations,
that they may bring peace and international prosperity on earth,
instead of destruction.”
So sending our love to all the
leaders of all nations on this earth,
harmonizing them
with love and peace, divine harmony.
Guruji continues,
“Include in the powerful radiation of your love
all peoples of the world.”
And then Guruji prays,
and we can mentally follow along.
“May our united healing race of love
be surcharged by the infinite love of our Father,
and bathe the entire earth,
permeating the hearts of all leaders
and citizens of the world,
that they may be filled with the universal amity
and harmony of Spirit,
bringing peace on earth,
goodwill toward all,
under the Fatherhood of God.”
Peace on earth,
goodwill toward all,
under the Fatherhood of God.
He continues,
“Heavenly Father,
bless the nations of the earth,
our own large family,
that all may realize
their eternal kinship as Thy children.
Thou art are our one spiritual Father,
the beloved of the universe.
And the beloved of our hearts.
Bless them all.
Bless all citizens of the earth,
that they may establish
a cooperative unity among all souls,
and live in a united world,
with Thy power and light of love
guiding us to Thy kingdom.”
Thy power and light of love
guiding us to Thy kingdom.
Aum.
Peace.
Amen.
