What is Feeling-Connection?🔗

August 25, 2012

Q: Dear Swamiji, you mentioned about feeling-connection with God or Guru. What is the feeling-connection actually? Is it just thinking of Guru?

You are asking, what is feeling-connection actually? Feeling-connection is not just thinking. I will try to describe some situations.

Some of our devotees, the moment they wake up, whether they are working at their office, or cooking or doing some household work, till the moment they fall asleep, I am there in anything they do. It is not that they will purposely remember me, but I am the undercurrent of their life. I can see so many wide smiles and bright eyes in the audience! When you hear this, if your eyes have become bright, if your smile has become wide, understand that you have feeling-connection.

Please understand - there is no other definition for feeling-connection. Whatever you may be doing, just it is there! The 'best moment' that you wait for the whole day is the next satsang. You all usually run your life waiting for some 'best moments', which you expect may come next day or next week or next month. For some people, the best moment is on the last day of the month, when they receive their salary! For people who have left their family and homeland to work in another country, the best moment is the time when they go back home to see their families. Whatever it is, life moves only for the best moments.

In our sangha, there are thousands of people who feel their next best moment of the day is the next satsang! Even if they are in another country, they keep waiting, switching on Nithyananda TV, even though they know it is too early for satsang! If you feel the next best moment of your life is the next satsang, there is a feeling-connection.

See, I can only describe certain moods, emotions and feelings, the symptoms of feeling-connection. Feeling-connection itself cannot be described. These are all symptoms of feeling-connection: if your heart rate goes up the moment you are logging onto the internet, if your pulse goes up the moment you try to call me on Dial the Avatar, or if you have done e-pada puja and are waiting for my call - these are some of the symptoms which you can understand easily.

When you have feeling-connection, you will just feel that the whole purpose of life is that God or Guru has chosen you! The utility of your very existence will look like that.

I tell you, our whole sangha has only two categories of people – one, who are living with me; two, who want to live with me and are unable to live with me! First, those who already cleared all the obstacles and are here. Second, those who are still clearing them, and are yet to be here. That's all. I know the power of the cementing bond my disciples enjoy in their heart, with me and with the sangha.

So understand, feeling-connection is not just thinking. It is something beyond thinking. Your whole heart will be just flowing in that direction without any effort. You just know that the Divine is part of you, and you are part of Him.
