Seekers Page Life-transforming journey of Ma GyaandaNiranjani TAO – a sacred temple of learning. No, it is not merely a place but a sacred temple. But, why a temple? A temple, because a temple signifies a serene place, a place with high energies and vibrations.Where one meets God and surrenders to God. God here means the divinity hidden within and surrendering oneself means surrendering the ego. But are things so simple? Yes indeed they are if one works with the basics. If one sticks to the basics then every perceived complicated or complex situation can be overcome. One of the basic things in life is the way we look at life or approach life. In common parlance it is known as Attitude. Each one of us have our own attitudes based on the inputs received in our formative years and at times even carried forward from our previous lifetimes and are reflected within us as habits and patterns and we operate out of these habits and patterns. Attitudes are also formed out of the various conditionings that one undergoes and could be parental, educational, social, cultural, regional, and national and many others. Then our every action is done with this colored vision and we miss simple facts of life, as we do not see things as they are but see them as we are. When I came to TAO I too was operating out of rut, habits and patterns and conditionings but things changed when I stumbled upon these simple secrets of life. There is nothing as material and spiritual life. Life comprises of both at any given point of life. The bifurcation is made by inappropriately used instrument called mind. Life has to be lived in totality.
To live life in totality one need to align oneself with cosmic intelligence. Responding and not reacting to situations and life. The basic understanding behind this is that one cannot direct the wind but can definitely adjusts the sails. There is nothing like right and wrong. Based on situation one should do what is appropriate. To inculcate in life all the basics that are conducive to growth and to do away with all that is self limiting and self defeating. To live life in awareness of the divinity within and without and with understanding to sustain the same.
But a major shift happened within when I stumbled upon my life mission. The struggle and the search ended. Now the energies are simply focused on aligning everything that I do for the life mission and life purpose. My four years old journey has been about learning these basic things. The easiest way to do this is to increase the Awareness and Understanding. The learning has to happen with this aim. The entire sadhana now revolves around this. With these two wings of Awareness and Understanding one learns to fly in the open sky of this inwards journey. But the flight is not a simple flight. The presence of living Enlightened Master makes the flight, a flight of an Eagle. Unknowingly and in a very playful way life transformed in the last four years in this temple of learning. Indeed coming to TAO is LIFE TRANSFORMING!! Before TAO life was good, But wanted it to be better and smooth, In TAO stumbled upon the best, and will continue to live so till the last breath.
