A Temple of…
Reading Gurumayi’s Introduction, I realized that I came to the Guru and the Siddha Yoga path through asking a question that was answered by my Guru. I had been praying to see clearly—I knew there was more to see than these mortal eyes could see—and I was praying for divine vision! I now understand that I had invoked “a temple of divine vision” within myself, and it led me to receive shaktipat from Gurumayi. I am so grateful to receive these teachings from Gurumayi!

Reading the phrase A Temple of Divine Vision, I looked up. And there was this majestic tree with its leaves flowing in the wind, and just beside it, a smaller tree full of beautiful red flowers. I thanked the Guru for this vision, which is so reminiscent of the artwork for these teachings, and for this beautiful, graceful gift of inner connection.

In A Temple of Divine Vision, I see others with love; I feel love emanating from me and being poured into me. I love practicing the divine vision of seeing people with love! This intention carries the sweetest power to love and teaches me that I do not need a reason to love.
Seeing people with love creates a feeling in me of belonging to one another and to God. Brief exchanges with folks in a store or in a class hold a sense of wonder and spontaneity that proves the power and blessings in Baba Muktananda’s teaching “See God in Each Other.” The divine vision of seeing others with love has mended, nurtured, and transformed my relationships with my family and friends and the world at large. In A Temple of Divine Vision, love teaches me that not only am I worthy of love, I am love.

I would like to fashion myself “a temple of divine vision.” Reading this phrase reminded me of a line from Shri Guru Gita: “May the divine glance of the Guru always dwell upon me.” During a Siddha Yoga Sadhana Circle I participated in, we reflected on this line and the experience of the divine glance of the Guru dwelling upon us.
Later that week, some unsettling events took place. Grappling with this situation, I was thrown off. Yet, in the midst of my inner turmoil, I recalled divya drishti, which means seeing with the outlook of God. I started to practice looking upon myself and the situation at hand holding this outlook. I felt drawn into the world of divine vision. Gratefully, I remembered that since the moment of my shaktipat initiation, the Guru’s ”divine glance” has “always dwelled upon me.”
