We
perform the Siddha Yoga practices to touch and expand the inner mystical
state, until over time we become established in our experience of
yoga or oneness with God. The Siddha Yoga practices include meditation
techniques, chanting, service, retreats, and others.
Each of the practices gives us another taste of our essential nature
-- the serenity and heightened awareness of meditation
or the sweetness and joy of chanting,
for example. Each practice develops our virtues such as detachment
and love from serving selflessly,
and generosity from offering dakshina.
Continuous study and contemplation of the teachings provides the
understanding of our experiences and inspires us to delve deeper.
Each of us finds our own unique combination of these practices according
to our own inner wisdom.
The mystery of the Siddha Yoga practices is that they are enlivened
with the awakened energy of the Siddha
Yoga Guru. Thus our own effort is magnified as we apply ourselves
to the practices.
Many Siddha Yoga students also discover that performing the practices
with a community of seekers,
at Siddha Yoga meditation centers, ashrams, and Siddha Yoga retreats, enhances
the effect of the practices.
Through right effort in the practices, supported by grace and good
company, we continually step closer to living a truly spiritual
life.
