Let
us share a moment of repartee...
In the middle of
a talk a woman asks a question, "Have you ever felt ashamed of
yourself?"
Without missing
a beat, Sharmaji shot back, "Yes, I feel ashamed of myself when I feel
ashamed of myself."
The same lady at
the end of the talks asks, "How do you know when it's choice and when
it's
destiny?"
Sharmaji said, "Your
choices are your destiny, period. ... You can't imagine how
free
you are to change your entire past. You can unwrite everything."
Each of his sessions
is very unique. The result is powerful and transforming. We never know
when he will decide to take us on a past life regression or give a
guided
meditation. It truly is an adventure in consciousness being with
Sharmaji. Along with making
sure we have an experience in meditation, he actually said, “What we
are
doing is a live adventure in consciousness.”
Here are more
tidbits from one of the sessions:
“If spirituality
is an issue, it’s not worth practicing.”
“In spite of whatever
you do, you are leading a spiritual life if God is a real and constant
living presence for you personally.”
“A spiritual person
knows he is not the doer. He says, ‘I am the instrument, God, play me
well.’”
“If we pursue this
we will know why we were born. It will irrigate the field of our memory
in our consciousness, in our meditation. That is the essential
difference
between Wednesday and Sunday meditations.”
“If we don’t recapitulate
all our memories now, they will come back to us after we leave the
body.”
“What we learn on
Wednesday we practice on Sunday. On Monday we talk about it; on
Wednesday
we have an experience of it in meditation; and on Sunday we externalize
and crystallize those experiences and bring them back to our conscious
mind. We do that inside ourselves so when we close our eyes today we
are
not blind, we see.”
“What we earn on
Wednesday we experience on Sunday.”
“Spiritual life is
about letting nothing touch you.”
“Everything comes
back to you, nothing goes away.”
“Every problem comes
to you hanging on to the tail of a desire.”
Those of you unable
to attend, we know you are with us in spirit and we send our love to
you.
I thank God for Sharmaji’s presence in my life. I know this is my
opportunity
to catch something very precious for myself for all eternity.
