Leela Dhyana - Catching The Enlightened Body Language

The Srimad Bhagavatam says that leela dhyana is the ultimate meditation, even compared to any nirvikalpa dhyana. If you need enlightenment, you need to unclutch and be in nirvikalpa state. But you don't need enlightenment. You actually need enlightened body language. So what you need to do is not unclutch and try to achieve that pure inner space, but meditate on the person who is radiating enlightenment and do the same thing in you.

Understand the importance of the leela dhyana. Leela dhyana means seeing the plays of a living Master and constantly being soaked in it. Nirvikalpa dhyana means continuously unclutching and settling into that silence. Now you understand the difference between the two? You can continuously unclutch and merge into that silence also, that's no problem. But I don't know how many years it will take, how long it will take and what side effect and time.

Actually you don't need to, you don't need to. Instead, by meditating on the leelas of the Master you don't need to do anything else. Automatically that body language will start expressing in you.

During the NSP program, I got letters from devotees telling me that 'after two or three days I feel I am talking like you Swamiji. I feel my face is like you! When I close my eyes I feel you are me and sometimes when I see your photograph I feel it is my photograph'

So that hole started happening in you means leela dhyana dwaara. That initiation of leela dhyana started happening in you. Understand if this happens then you are done. If that same feeling starts staying inside you without your effort you are done; that's all. I think now you understand living around the Master what it does inside you, what it does inside you.
