It has been quite some time that I have written a blog. I am doing so based on an incident that occurred today morning. My daughter through her recoded video suggested that we all meditate for a short duration of five minutes from 8.45 AM to 8.50 AM. She suggested that those participating in meditation in whatever part of the globe they may be, should close their eyes and imagine a white light coming out of their bodies and engulfing each person. Let each one of us imagine about beautiful objects and also imagine that this divine light is slowly expanding in size. Soon this light engulfs our family, society, town, state and the country. Now imagine that the cosmic light is now encompassing the entire globe covering all the countries, oceans, flora and fauna, the sky above us. The entire world is now under the bubble of this wonderful light. All the inhabitants of the planet are feeling wonderful, light and rejuvenated. Imagine that the light bubble has now turned into a cloud and causing a divine rain. This rain is curing all of us of various anxieties, doubts, disease, ill will; infect it is cleaning us of many impurities. Each one of us is praying for others, their wellbeing while shedding the feeling of selfishness, jealousy, anger, hatred; in-fact there is love all around. The cosmic rain is making all of us happy and peaceful be it humans, animals, birds, sea life, forests, vegetation etc. There is perfect peace in the world and thereafter we wake up. We can repeat this meditation every day at a fixed time and pass the message to as many as possible. Therefore, a collective prayer for the entire planet and universe will relieve our individual tensions, ill feelings, disease, conflicts and spread good will and love.
I tried the meditation session of five minutes today morning and felt very light and peaceful. I dreamt and imagined that there is multitude of people praying at the same time. The cosmic light and thereafter the rain is washing their minds and a dawn of realization is coming slowly into them. Some are wondering whether their selfish acts leading to accumulation of wealth by means foul or fair were justified or they have erred somewhere along their journey. Some people are feeling more empathetic towards the suffering of others and feel that none should sleep hungry. Some are visualizing whether hatred towards others not belonging to your caste or religion is indeed justified or they were heading the wrong way. Many are introspecting as to what was the purpose of their life. I then wake up and return to my world.
I am aware that I was watching a utopian dream as things can never be that perfect. However, there is no harm in trying to correct yourself and propagate so that you could influence a few to change course, the world will be a beautiful place. Auspicious days of Navratras are being celebrated in India and I am reminded of the excerpts from a prayer.
धर्म की जय हो, अधर्म का नाश हो, प्राणियों मे सद्भावना हो, विश्व का कल्याण हो—
Let dharma (the rightful conduct) prevail, let injustice be erased, Let there be love and affection between the Human, Let the world with all its species be prosperous in the true spirit of “Sarbat da Bhala” (Prosperity to all).
Guchi.
