    Having had glimpses of the Blue Pearl in meditation, I feel blessed. And yet, I can imagine Baba laughing and saying, “Yes, this is yours, but can you hold onto it?”

     

    Contemplating this teaching on the Blue Pearl, I understand that, just as I prepare the soil in my garden to grow herbs and vegetables, I can expand my experience of the Blue Pearl by cultivating the garden of my body and mind in which God resides. Through my consistent practices of meditation, chanting, studying the Guru’s teachings, and offering seva, I am preparing my body and mind to receive the darshan of the Blue Pearl.

    Baba Muktananda’s words have deepened my understanding of how cultivating purity in my daily life prepares me to receive darshan of the Blue Pearl.

     

    Over the years, through meditation, spiritual practices, and self-observation, I have become more aware of the quality of my thoughts, words, and interactions with others. Cultivating detachment has allowed a deeper compassion to arise naturally.

     

    I recognize how these qualities find expression in my daily life and extend beyond me, touching those around me.

     

    Baba’s words inspire me to continue cultivating this purity, so that my thoughts, words, and actions may become increasingly “full of God.”

    Puerto Madero, Argentina

    I believe that, through this teaching, Baba has given me the most precious understanding of what it takes to be worthy of having the darshan of the Blue Pearl in meditation.

    I recall, in the past, reflecting deeply on what purity of being truly is. Now, through this teaching of Baba, I feel I have begun to reconnect with my previous contemplation on this topic. Baba’s words have also given me greater conviction that trying to maintain a constant focus on and connection to my sadhana will bear fruit as I face every situation in my life, challenging or otherwise.

    As I contemplate Baba’s teaching, I understand that infinite consciousness manifests in the form of a tiny Blue Pearl. Thanks to the powerful flow of grace from Baba’s lineage, light one day entered through the crown of my head straight into the center of my heart, where the Guru resides. My mind stopped and flooded with silence, as I perceived a faint blue light. When I tried to visualize the Blue Pearl, the blue light disappeared. I understood that the Blue Pearl cannot be conceptualized, since the mind has to cease all thoughts to perceive it.

    I am very happy and deeply touched to read Baba’s words addressing the importance of a pure life. This teaching reminds me that every part of my world should be filled with purity. So many times during the day I remind myself "not this, not this!" when I find that I am thinking something that is not uplifting, or when I let any of the multiple worldly distractions take me out of my center. I believe this constant refinement is an ongoing practice.
     
    I am grateful to Baba for his inspiring words. They contain the energy to support me, day by day, in every step towards true freedom.

    New York, United States

    I started to read Baba’s teachings, savoring every word. I focused on my breath, and the words penetrated deep within, permeating my entire being. While contemplating them, I noticed the sound of the words vibrating everywhere!

    Macerata, Italy

    I am grateful to Baba for this precious teaching. I plan to implement Baba’s teaching by thinking of my Guru, meditating, and repeating the mantra.

    Madrid, Spain

    When I read Baba Muktananda’s teachings, I gain a clear perspective. This teaching directly relates my every action and thought, and every association in my life, to the attainment of the highest goal. Baba’s teachings, coming from his own experience and state, provide an unerring compass for me to live by.

    New York, United States

    Baba’s words fill me with hope and encouragement.  If I want to have the darshan of the Blue Pearl, I know what I have to do—and, through the Siddha Yoga practices, Baba and Gurumayi have given me the means to do it.
     
    I am grateful to Baba, for his life and example, his constant guidance and presence in my life and sadhana.
