I have known these teachings for a long time but found it difficult to comprehend or implement them, even though I was longing to experience them. But as I viewed the teachings this time, I was completely absorbed in the shining Blue Pearl in and around me! Particularly in the teaching “God dwells within you,” I felt the Blue Pearl merging in my heart, and I was totally absorbed in meditation on the heart. After meditating like this for a few days, the following words began to resonate inside me:
I am the Self, Consciousness,
My body is the joy of the Self
My breath is the light of the Self
My speech is the glory of the Self
My actions are the reflections of the Self!
I am now experiencing the effects of Baba’s teachings in my interactions with people, in their visible joy when I help or support them in times of need. I am grateful for the infinite grace and guidance I am receiving through the Guru’s teachings!

Baba’s teachings have been a great learning experience for me. I was a person who always believed in prioritizing others over myself. However, I often suffered in silence because I was more focused on keeping others happy while compromising my own needs.
Over the years, walking the Siddha Yoga path and contemplating Baba’s teachings, I understood how mistaken I was being “good” to others at the cost of my own peace. I understood that I was being untrue to myself.
Today my relationships with others are genuine and bring joy to my life. This change became possible only because, through meditation, I started respecting myself and experiencing the divinity within me.

When I read Baba’s core teachings, I feel warmth in my heart, and an inner energy draws me into a relaxed, still, and focused state. With this experience, I am starting to think of God as part of myself. In the past, I was searching for God in the visible and invisible world around me, and in other people.
Now, as I meditate on Baba’s teachings, I am starting to know myself better and can feel my inner Self as God inside my heart.
I feel so blessed to be walking this blissful path.

Recently, I took part in an important business transaction. In past situations like these, I’ve often agreed to less beneficial terms out of a desire to please other people. This time, however, I didn’t accept unreasonable demands.
Afterward, during my meditation practice, I experienced that I was full of the shining presence of the Guru.
When I later contemplated my experience, I realized that, for the week leading up to this interaction, I had begun every day by watching the video of Baba’s core teachings on the Siddha Yoga path website. As I did so, I had focused particularly intently on Baba’s words: “Honor your Self. Meditate on your Self. God dwells inside you.” So, during my business transaction, I found myself very naturally following Baba’s teachings. I valued and honored my true Self. I am forever grateful for the presence of Shri Guru that I experience within.

I am so thankful for Baba ji’s core teachings. I am the owner of a shop, and when I follow Baba ji’s teaching, “See God in each other,” it helps me to talk to each and every customer with great respect and love. Doing this keeps me joyful and happy.
Nagpur, India
I have known the words of Baba’s core teachings for years. Recently, while I repeated them to myself, the question arose: “What does ‘Honor your Self’ actually mean in my life?” I began by thinking of how I would treat an honored guest at my home and table. I would be fully attentive to their needs and desires. Their happiness would be my happiness. Thus, it seems that “Honor your Self” is about a focused, wholehearted relationship between me and my own Self. I am grateful to Gurumayi for this contemplation, which deepened my understanding of the true meaning of Baba’s words.

Baba Muktananda’s teachings are precious gems! When I practice them, they transform my life.
Baba’s teachings, “See God in each other” and “Welcome each other with great respect and love,” have been doing wonders in my personal and professional life.
I am a university professor, and I say these two teachings silently to myself before every class. I look at each of my students with love and respect, and I see their smiling faces. My state becomes blissful. I experience my students becoming attentive and relaxed. This helps me to teach my subject more patiently. There is increased participation among the students, and classes turn interactive.
I am so grateful to Baba ji for giving us these deeply meaningful, yet simple teachings! In a world that can be sometimes chaotic, they help me live joyfully.

As I watched the video of Baba’s teachings, I was inspired to contemplate the different ways in which I can honor my Self.
I found that I can honor my Self by respecting, imbibing, and putting into practice Shri Guru’s teachings. I can honor my Self by meditating and doing the practices. And I can honor my Self by loving and respecting other people, and in this way honor the Self of everyone and everything!

For me, Baba’s core teachings contain so much. They can seem so simple, and yet they are so profound.
They invite me to be in my heart, to live from my heart, to perceive the world with the eyes of my heart, and to let the love of my heart grow each day. They show me the magnificence of all hearts and the infinite power of love. They invite me to see and feel the love within me and all around me.

I am really loving exploring and re-exploring Baba’s teachings. A few days ago, as I sat down to begin a fresh seva project, I instinctively opened the Siddha Yoga path website and was drawn immediately into this sea of nectar. I began to smile as I savored each teaching. I repeated each one and felt it center me and draw me into my heart. Every day now, I look forward to this moment of soothing calm before I begin my workday.
I intend to write each teaching on a fresh page in my journal so that I can focus on it in my meditation.

As I was watching the video and imbibing Baba’s core teachings, I experienced a pure deep silence. For me, this profound silence reflects the immensity of the blue Consciousness and the intimacy of God’s presence.
I keep in my heart the instant that I saw the Blue Pearl dancing in front of Baba. This extraordinary vision infused a shimmering light into my life and has enabled me to share my love with others.

Watching the video and silently repeating Baba’s teachings several times drew me inwards. Soon my mind became quiet and still. Without any effort I found myself meditating blissfully. When I came out of meditation, I felt refreshed, renewed, and at ease.
Nairobi, Kenya
As I woke up this morning, my mind was jangling with negative self-judgment as a result of a decision I’d made which, I believe, could have an impact on my professional life. I was giving myself a hard time.
As I read Baba’s first core teaching, “Honor your Self,” the negativity dissolved and was replaced with a strong sense of awareness that the outer circumstances of my professional involvements are not important and that how I am within myself is all that matters. And I realized that I can always honor my Self in any situation.
I am grateful to Baba for yet another wake-up call.

I was fascinated while watching this video and reading Baba’s core teachings. I could feel Baba’s and Gurumayi’s love pulsating out from the Blue Pearl, from the triangle of blue light, and from the blue heart expanding across the screen. After this darshan of the Blue Pearl, I could feel Baba’s greatness and his attainment, and could feel how wonderful this love is!
