Q.127: Gurudev, How can I connect more and more to the divine in myself? Do I need many lifetimes?

 

How can I connect more and more to the divine in myself? Do I need many lifetimes?

Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:

Just relax, you are already connected. You just have to wake up and see this, that's all! Just relax. In the Bible also there is a saying, "Be still and know that I am God". You are in space, right? Do you have to look for space? What do you need to understand? I am in space. You don't have to keep repeating, "I am in space, I am in space"..So you are in Germany, you know it and that's it. You don't have to wake up every morning and say, "I am in Germany, I am in Germany" (laughter). You may land up in mental hospital maybe within Germany or across the border in Strasbourg! Some things you should simply accept and assume.

How can that happen? When you have total relaxation, when you don't do anything. When you do nothing, that is when you tap into the source of energy. And later on, when you do any action, just be spontaneous. If you don't get this now, never mind, because as long as there is a lot of rajas (tendency to act) in the system, you won’t understand this. That's why I would say, just meditate, relax and keep alive this passion to be connected and that will take you forward step by step. You have to have patience. Don't be in a hurry. If someone says, "I am going to connect you today", never do that. Say, "Okay, thank you. It’s not an emergency sort of thing". .When you sit still and meditate, know that you are in that space. You can't be there forever and so you come out and act. 

Be dynamic in your activity. Of course, these two are conflicting, but a time comes when that state of consciousness continues for you, even in your activity. Anything you do, you won’t lose that state, anything you do, it will be there all the time. But this takes its own time.
