Essence

The entire cosmos is made out of one essence: Satyam Shivam Sundaram, Truth-Love-Beauty.

Ancient rishis noted that this divine essence is a trinity, a three-fold shakti, three energies in one being. Omnipresent yet transcendent, the subtle glory of Satyam Shivam Sundaram suffuses each photon of light, each petal of the apple blossom, every star and the darkness between the stars. For space itself is awake with Satyam Shivam Sundaram, who is, quite simple, the Self.

She is both subject and object. The entire material universe blossoms out of consciousness and is made of consciousness, as waves of different size and shape are all made of water. Every object is suspended within the transparency of the subject, as a mirage appears in empty air. Therefor, the Goddess creates the universe out of her own awareness, pervading each particle, yet remains completely separate in order to gaze with love at her creatures.

But the supernal gift of her Truth, generosity of her Love, and greatness of her Beauty is this, that after creating the world, She deigns to dwell in her creation as a fully awakened microcosm of herself: a Christ, a Buddha, a You. This is your destiny, friend. You are Satyam Shivam Sundaram expressed as a unique individual. Your whole evolution as a created being is just your gradual awakening to who you really are.

You have a higher calling than you ever knew. Be God, worship God, express God in your words and actions. Let your religion be to honor your own divinity by serving that divinity in others.

This is the dignity of your incarnation. Only a human being has the potential to fully embody Satyam Shivam Sundaram. For a human body is the microcosm, the intersection of all worlds, from the celestial to the sensual. Therefor, angels in heaven envy men and women on earth.

How then do we awaken our full experience of Satyam Shivam Sundaram?

Through a practice of transcendental deep meditation which allows us to dive into the heart of Truth, bathe in the radiance of transcendental Love, and overflow with the nectar of divine Beauty. Handed down from the dawn of history by the Holy Tradition of Vedic masters, ignited by the grace of their initiation, this meditation is natural and effortless.

There are many spiritual practices. But only a practice that illuminates your mind with the blazing sun of Truth, melts your heart into the ocean of Love, and opens your eye to the Beauty of God's face, is worthy of the name of meditation.

Jai Guru Dev.
