    The Waltz of Chiti

     

    O Chiti, how you dance and dance.

    And you dance like no other.

    Radiant melody, the waltz that enfolds—enfolds with agile, sweet, rhythmic piano notes.

    O Shakti, the most beautiful, you who travels within me and opens doors.

    Doors to the sky, upward, inward, illuminating, loving—absolutely beautiful.

    O Kundalini, you who never abandons me, always with me, waiting patiently.

    I open my arms to you; you open your arms to me—you open your arms, O Guru.

    O Guru, you opened a door, another door, one more—a very special one, beautiful like none other.

    You touch my soul.

    The soul that rides like a free horse across fields, among tall grasses, wrapped in the wind as the sun’s rays break through the clouds.

    You run and run, O Happiness, flooding everything.

    O Guru, O Chiti, you flood everything.

    When I read Baba’s words in this excerpt from Kundalini: The Secret of Life, something inside me leaped up in happiness. I long for that experience of oneness that Baba so beautifully describes, and just the idea that it can be attained brings me great joy. It reminds me of the inner conviction—which spontaneously arose within me as a child—that I had come to this life to learn the Truth. And, as I follow the path that the Guru is continuously illuminating, that goal becomes clearer and clearer.

    I very much enjoyed reading Kundalini: The Secret of Life. As I read this excerpt, I felt I was bathing in Baba’s words, and I was captivated by Baba’s love. I soon entered a state of meditation. For the rest of the evening, I felt a state of calm. As I looked around me, I experienced that I was seeing Kundalini Shakti in everything. For me, it was a revelation, and a wonder.

    I also felt I was able to better understand the significance of Baba’s words. In fact, I found answers to some questions that I had been contemplating for some time.

    This experience has shown me, once again, how vital it is to read the Guru’s words when I am seeking to stay in the company of the Truth. It also reminded me that the Guru is my best and true friend.

    Seventy years ago, on my fifth birthday, as I looked out over the buildings and up at the sky, I felt a very strong intention form in my heart—to find the secret of life. Over the next four decades, I searched for this in different ways. Then, I received shaktipat from Gurumayi. This blessed event was followed by several weeks in which I experienced a state of witness-consciousness and bliss. I felt I was free of fetters, and had no desires, no fears, and no restlessness. It was as if I was able to see everything and everyone as my own Self. Soon afterwards, I read Baba’s book Kundalini: The Secret of Life, which helped me to begin to understand my shaktipat experience.

    It seems that the Guru had heard my intention made so long ago. Receiving shaktipat was the beginning of my Siddha Yoga sadhana, which continues to be a wonder-filled spiritual journey, for which I am truly grateful.

    I love Baba’s words: “Meditate on yourself, honor yourself, worship yourself, for God dwells within you as you.” Over the years this teaching has guided me into stillness and inner peace. This morning when I sat to meditate, I experienced love in my heart. Baba’s words encourage me to keep going so that I can bring the love and bliss of meditation into my daily life more and more, so that I can go deeper into the experience of oneness. Today I initially felt reservations about attending a gathering, but remembering the experience of meditation, I feel I can attend and experience bliss.

    I am fascinated by Baba Muktananda’s ability to describe in so few words what seems to me to be the essence of the spiritual path! And I love how he talks about the importance of sadhana in leading us to the goal—to the fruit of our efforts. 

    When I reflect on my own sadhana, I am filled with wonder and gratitude! For me, it is always about purifying my mind, opening my heart, and trusting my Guru. I have full trust in the Guru to take away my limited ego and open the door to the universe of the unlimited, highest Self.

    The awakening of kundalini through shaktipat initiation that I received from Baba many years ago reverberates in me to this day. That early experience continues to unfold in wonderful new ways, teaching me from within about the oneness of all things, steadying my awareness in the bliss of the Self.

    As I perform my daily meditation practice and the state of joy grows and expands within me, I feel deep gratitude to Baba, Gurumayi, and Bhagavan Nityananda for their immeasurable grace.

    When I read Baba’s words, I remembered the day I received shaktipat from him. Looking back over my entire life since that day, I know I owe my very life to Baba ji. He awakened me to the greatest truth. A journey of the most profound discoveries continues today due to Baba’s compassion in giving me shaktipat.

    I was just talking to my mom, and we were talking about how our own body is a beautiful form of God. Then I opened the Siddha Yoga path website and saw Baba’s words, which clarified my thoughts really well. I experienced that Baba and Gurumayi are always with me, giving me knowledge at exactly the right time.

    This excerpt from Baba’s book reinforces my awareness that God dwells within me, and accentuates the importance of awakening Kundalini Shakti the divine energy within.
     
    It is because of shaktipat, the awakening of this divine energy, that I have experienced the blissful Consciousness inside me and in the world around me. Struck with wonder on that initiation day, I said to myself: “This is the summit of life!”
     
    With this experience in mind, I know the goal of my life: it is to follow the teachings given by my Guru with care and confidence as I climb toward the inner peak, the sahasrar.
