One Sufi Naqshbandi master Shakuntala Devi, always used to bless any one bowing to her by saying “BE ALWAYS HAPPY”. If you really decipher these simple words, these will manifest a totally new realm. When a master says something, the seeker needs to introspect on these words. The master can never be wrong or unconscious. The very fact that he or she is a master implies now something has changed within. A master may look like you, but in reality he differs in his understanding of the cosmic phenomena and awareness. None of his actions are ever guided by unconscious. Even when he moves his hands he is totally aware of this.Especially he reference to how oneness solves dualities. It i the work of a true living master. A real Buddha manifested into Being:
Let this be your meditation each moment. A new meaning will unfold in life. Serenity, blessedness will engulf you. Only then it can be said that you are living in the image of a master. Then something of the master, his awareness, his understanding, will be part of you as blessing.
Thus, there are two steps in meditation. The first step is not to be in conflict within you. And thus will not allow any conflict and split to happen any longer within! Do not allow things like, mind fighting with body; reason fighting with feelings; and feeling fighting with sexuality. Have you not observed a continuous fight going on? Without any gap or break it continues.I warmly recommend these two short publications on meditation techniches
With such things going on, you cannot be happy. Unless these warring elements embrace one another within, stop warring, fall in love with one another, or dissolve into one another, there is no possibility of happiness. In such a case, happiness will remain a hope never fulfilled. Happiness is the shadow of harmony. Happiness or bliss follows harmony.
There is no other way to be happy. Unless you are in harmony, you can go on striving for happiness; in return you will get only frustration and misery. Just as a shadow follows you wherever you go, so too happiness will follow you when you are in total harmony!
The first step in this process happens within you. And when you have become one pulse without any division, one wave of energy with no antagonism, with no distinction of lower and higher, without any choice, no evaluation, no judgment, when you are simply one, then happens the second step. When you are one, you can see oneness. The eyes get clear then.
When you are one, you will immediately see the oneness around. Now you know the
language of one. The language of duality or many has vanished. Novice is no more.
Madhouse is no more. The nightmare is no more. You are silent. In such a silence you begin to dissolve, bit by bit into the vastness of the existence. Also you can fall in tune with the pulse of the universe and the cosmos. This is the second step of meditation
