    Bade Baba’s words in this teaching are simple, profound, and true. By simply reading his words, I feel his shakti bubbling within me, and I’m able to experience a state of deep meditation with my eyes wide open. His power is beyond anything I have ever felt. 


    I am so blessed to have been led to the Siddha Yoga path—and to Bade Baba.

    This foliage, perfectly reflected in a quiet pond, leads me naturally inside. There, time merges into eternity.

     

    In the same way that the elements of a pond—a dragonfly, a lily, some cattails—reveal its stillness, Bhagavan Nityananda reveals to me the purity of Consciousness in which he lived. When I “go deep within” through meditation into this tranquil space of pure Consciousness, I enjoy the crystalline jewel of unbroken happiness.

    As I engaged with this teaching from Bade Baba this morning, I felt a pull of energy between my eyebrows. It became hard to keep my eyes open, and before a thought even formed, I was drawn inward. It was like swimming in an ocean of divine energy. I felt powerful blessings arising in my heart as I meditated. I felt I was sitting in Bade Baba’s presence.

    While reading Bade Baba’s words, I was transported into a sweet and tranquil meditation, where a bubble of sparkling joy suddenly burst in my heart!

    St. Laurent, Canada

    During my very first meditation ever, a bowl of light expanded in my belly and filled my whole body. When I opened my eyes, I saw love everywhere—in the carpet, the walls, the plants, and everything. I had the revelation that the source of happiness I was searching for in the world was indeed inside myself.
     
    With this new awareness, I installed meditation in the midst of my daily activities. I know that when my eyes light up, it is the fruit of my meditation.

    During a wedding I attended last night, the bride and groom asked us to hold a stone in our hands during the service and imbue it with a blessing for them. Throughout the whole service, I repeated Bade Baba’s teaching on the in-breath and out-breath. As the service went on, the bliss I felt reached ecstasy. I looked out at the expanse of water behind the altar and felt silent, pulsating oneness.
     
    To capture the scene on the stone, I drew a picture of the water and the land reflecting off it in the distance. Today I saw that the picture accompanying Bade Baba’s teaching for the day shows land and trees reflected in water and resembles the picture I had drawn.
     
    I am so grateful to Gurumayi, as I feel that my entire life springs forth from my sadhana on the Siddha Yoga path.

    I first attempted to meditate when I was in high school, but the experience left me restless, and for a long time, I forgot about meditation.
     
    Years later, I took a Siddha Yoga Shaktipat Intensive. During the first meditation session, I silently repeated the mantra Om Namah Shivaya, and very soon, I was carried into a state of pure joy.
     
    Since then, I’ve known that I never have to accept unhappiness, nor do I have to struggle to be happy. I’ve experienced the truth of Bade Baba’s promise.

    New York, United States

    This morning, before I read today’s teaching, I meditated for over an hour. I was absorbed in a deep stillness. When the meditation ended, I did not want to get up; I just wanted to sit and relish the feelings of peace, joy, and love that arose from within my own self. I sat for a while longer, absolutely content. When I arose, the state I was experiencing remained in its fullness—and continues to this moment.
     
    Then, when I read Bade Baba’s words on the website, I was happy. In fact, I felt that I was happiness.
