A Promise To Yourself!🔗

Healers' Oaths

Before you take the oaths, please be aware that to become a healer, participation in at least 2 ASPs is mandatory, unless exempted by Swamiji.

Oath 1

> “I hereby swear that the power given to me > by Swamiji will be used for the service of > all, both animate and inanimate.”

Your first oath is never to refuse healing to anyone or anything in need of it – be they people, animals, plants or inanimate objects. Any personal conflict or difference in ideology should never affect your healing. After all, this healing power is not yours to give or refuse. The power invested in you flows from

a divine source, and the Divine does not distinguish between right and wrong, saint and sinner. Divine mercy is unconditionally available to all who ask.

The healing system I offer you has been created and perfected over the ages by the greatest ancient masters. It is the culmination of centuries of rigorous tapas. In fact, the original system developed by Patanjali was so sophisticated that it was beyond the comprehension of all but a select few. The great spiritual masters who followed him poured their life into simplifying the system, and made this precious gift of knowledge available to all. In order to cherish this legacy and truly be benefited by it, you must be willing to drop your ego and share this gift with joy and compassion.

The only reason you can have for refusing healing would be if the person is likely to violate your person or property. But please ensure that your personal opinions are not

influencing your decision. Actually, after initiation you will find that this attitude comes upon you naturally. In the presence of this tremendous healing energy, petty considerations like differences in religion, ideology or personal conflicts simply won't count anymore!

For starters, try this exercise: For a moment, close your eyes and imagine that your worst enemy, someone who has really hurt you in the past, has approached you for healing. Can you bring yourself to consent? If you feel certain you can heal him, without hesitation and with humility and love, you are ready to take the next oath.

> I hereby swear that I will serve regularly and > voluntarily at the healing center, or start a > center at home.

This is not an imposition of social service upon you! Understood rightly, healing is simply a process of connecting the intelligence of the patient to the cosmic intelligence, helping them to drop all social conditioning and express their true nature, which is Bliss. To be an instrument in this process, you need to first drop your own conditioning, your ideas about yourself. That can only happen when you make an honest commitment to fall in tune with your own spiritual dimension, by working out my teachings in your life. Do an honest check: are you really, totally willing to transform your own life? To become more loving, more gentle and compassionate?

Remember, I don't want you to just spread my word; I want you to practise it. Unless you can bring about this transformation in your own life, how will you reach out to others?

Oath 3

> I hereby swear that I will follow all the rules > existing at present and updated or amended > in future by Swamiji and Dhyanapeetam.

Apart from taking care not to violate the rules, you also pledge your continuous involvement and commitment to furthering the mission of Dhyanapeetam.
