Reading Baba’s description of the Blue Pearl brings me back to an experience that has become increasingly familiar in meditation. When I close my eyes, I return to a subtle center of stillness within—a place that feels deeply like home.
Over the years, my relationship to the inner light has changed. I no longer experience it primarily as something to seek or to behold. More and more, it becomes the quiet awareness from which I meditate and move through my daily life.
Baba’s teaching on the Blue Pearl deepens my understanding of this experience: The Self is not only revealed in meditation; it becomes the light of awareness through which I experience life.

What a blessing to ponder and imbibe Baba’s words about the Blue Pearl! I feel myself enlivened by them. Their impact is subtle and powerful, evoking for me a realm of experience way beyond my rational understanding of the words.
