The ‘resemblance visualization’ you carry in your life, defines the quality of life you lived.
What is ‘resemblance visualization’?
Listen: whenever I utter the word ‘peace’, you will remember some place or some experience where you had peace. Whenever I utter the word ‘joy’, you will remember some place or some experience where you had joy. For me, whenever I utter the word peace, I remember the temple in Ramakrishna Belur Mutt on the banks of the Ganga River. Whenever I utter the word ‘guru bhakti’ or ‘devotion’ I always remember Arunagiri
Yogishwara’s samadhi in Arunachala.
Resemblance visualization plays a major role in raising the quality of your consciousness. When a Master teaches, learn to read between the lines. If you want to really really really enjoy a Master, as Jesus says - drink the Master. You need to understand his resemblance visualization. A disciple imbibing the Master is a basic need, not a luxury. It is a basic need.
After Sri Krishna attained Nirvikalpa Samadhi and settled into the body, whenever he remembered the word Nirvikalpa Samadhi, his resemblance visualization would be the stillness and light of a lamp in a windless place – yatha deepo nivaatastho. So if you want to enjoy the peace which is in Sri Krishna’s heart, meditate on a lamp in a windless space.
Your resemblance visualizations are responsible for your emotions - your anger, peace, joy, enlightenment, endarkenment, everything. When you transform your resemblance visualizations to the Master’s resemblance visualizations, your quality of consciousness will become that of the Master’s. It is possible to transform your resemblance visualization. So develop your resemblance visualizations,
evolve them to your Master's
resemblance visualizations. Then the
quality of consciousness you carry
will be transformed to that of your
Master's consciousness!
How many times and what kind of resemblance visualizations are repeated in your system is also important. In my system, if at all anything is getting repeated, only the resemblance visualizations of powerfulness, peace, guru bhakti are getting repeated. Actually, let me define clearly - my inner most space is in complete Nirvikalpa - sada samadhi. Nothing happens there. But in the space where I operate with you all, the resemblance visualization is always this high consciousness of Mahadeva, Sadashiva. When you imbibe the same resemblance visualizations, and repeat them with the same frequency, your consciousness also raises to the level of Mahadeva.
Meditation is nothing but changing your resemblance visualizations to Master's resemblance visualizations. Resemblance visualizations are realizations. When you align yourself to the realized resemblance visualizations, you realize. Aligning yourself to the realizations of the Master is resemblance visualization.
Meditation - Sit straight. Let us directly enter into the process of dissolving into Sri Krishna's resemblance visualization. Visualize a lamp in windless place. Close your eyes, remember a lamp in a windless place in your heart. Be centered on the lamp in windless space. Close your eyes and sit and meditate. Remember a lamp in windless space.
