A simple and natural method leading the seeker towards the Ultimate Reality
This is a simple and natural method that helps the seeker in experiencing the Ultimate Reality. This experience brings down the divine-consciousness into the heart of the seeker. The experience of divine-consciousness gradually molds the behavioral personality due to divinization of the lower centers. He realizes that he is not just a physical, vital or mental being but a PURE CONSCIOUSNESS / AWARENESS itself. In the lap of this pure consciousness, he witnesses the creation, sustenance and dissolution of all phenomenal happenings. This comes micro-cosmically in the mental happenings in the beginning, and later macro-cosmically. A subjective uncaused peace envelops the person which transcends all understandings. Our ancient scriptures called it "Immortality" ("Amrutatva"). The individual keeps oneself as a witness aside; performs all the works that come to his/her share with a high level of dexterity.
What is needed in this system of meditation is honesty to oneself and sincere desire to go beyond the material coverings of his personality.
Choose a time in the morning convenient to you, say - 6:00 am and 7:00 pm; keep to this time at all costs.
Select a convenient place to sit where you are not disturbed; do not change the place according to fancy; try to keep to same place.
Sit in a convenient posture - a posture which does not strain physically; make the base of the posture broader such that you feel relaxed bodily and mentally.
Make a supposition that a divine light is glowing diffusing-ly in your heart; do not strain mentally to see the light in the heart i.e., do not image the light.
Slowly divert your mind towards a point in the heart - just below two fingers width of your left nipple - say this point as (A).
Mentally repeat this prayer:
O! Master — Thou are the real goal of human life —
We are all yet but slaves of our wishes putting a bar to our advancement —
Thou are the only God and power to bring us up to that State.
Repeat this prayer only once or twice - then try to brood over the meaning of the prayer and glide into the condition that it leads to.
There would be certainly a gush of variety of thoughts into your mind. Do not be afraid/annoyed or irritated - i.e., do not try to control thoughts - you shall fail if you attempt to do so.
Do not bother to control the thoughts while you are meditating as that is the job of the Master and not yours. Simply ignore the thoughts as uninvited guests.
Sit in this way for meditation, to start with, for half hour in the morning and half hour in the evening; gradually increase to one hour in due course of practice.
Do not be carried away with “Puranic or Ithehasik” stories in our scriptures regarding miracles or super powers in following a spiritual path i.e., yogic path of meditation; you will be disappointed.
You shall definitely have experiences as you travel on a yogic path, but they are incidental mile stones on the road to the goal. It is not the Master’s desire that you are lost on the road.
Miracles are perceived by senses and mind, therefore are material in nature; but our goal is to go beyond the senses and mind in transcendental meditation.
Another important item in this method of yogic practice is cleaning of the heart. This is done in the evening meditation.
One more item to be done in the process; while going to bed in the night (may be at 9.00 pm) draw your thought to Master's grace, by repeating the prayer once as indicated earlier at Item (6) and go to sleep by reflecting over the meaning of the prayer.
Try sincerely to maintain harmonious and cordial relations with all those with whom you come in contact and interact. This becomes more automatic as you progress in your practice.
This system advocates seekers to cultivate the principle of Trusteeship in managing the household affairs. Simply, it means all the members in the family are God's creation and as a head of the family, you act as a trustee for their welfare. Material means are provided by him according to their experience (bhoga) through you.
Note: This method of meditation requires an initiation process from a IUSCM Preceptor for 30 minutes each day for 2 consecutive days either in-person or remotely. The IUSCM Preceptor is trained to clean the practitioner's spiritual centers (chakras) and insert the divine power from Hiranyagarbha (Providence) preparing him / her for further evolution on the plane of Consciousness.
