Cara Mengucapkan Aksara OM
Wednesday, May 27th, 2009Brahman, Atman juga Matahari adalah hubungan antara Nada, Gema dan Aksara Suci. Aksara suci tersebut adalah Om-kara. Menggemakan dan mengucapkan OM disaat sembahyang atau bermeditasi bayangkanlah Jantung anda atau Matahari sebagai OM itu sendiri. Mungkin anda bertanya dalam hati, kenapa membayangkan Jantung atau Matahari?
ini semua karena Brahman atman aikyam, Tuhan dengan atman itu tunggal. Atman adalah penyebab dan pengendali setiap makhluk hidup. Atman yang berada diluar memberi jiwa pada Matahari sekaligus sebagai tempat penampakan wujud-Nya yang semu. Atman yang berada didalam diri setiap makhluk khususnya manusia adalah wujud yang tidak nampak. Wujud ini berupa Atman Nafas yang keluar masuk tubuh melalui pernafasan, Beliau bersemayam didalam Jantung. Sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa Jantung dengan Matahari adalah tunggal. Matahari adalah pusat susunan tata surya dan pusat waktu terbesar untuk pengatur alam semesta (kosmos) dan Jantung adalah pusat waktu berskala kecil yang menentukan hidup mati seseorang ( alam kosmis). Sesungguhnya segala yang ada pada alam kosmos ada pula dialam kosmis. Dengan demikian bagi yang menyadari dirinya bahwa tubuh kecil ini adalah bagian dari tubuh yang besar itu, dan bagi orang yang telah menyadari keadaan tersebut setidaknya mereka mampu memanfatkan yang lebih besar itu untuk keperluan yang positif.
Untuk menggemakan pranawa Om / Ong anda awali dengan menarik nafas (mencari Nada lewat udara ) dan saat menahan nafas diperut, ikutilah dengan sedikit memejamkan mata dan konsentrasikan pikiran pada daerah Dahi (otak besar) kemudian bayangkan bulatan Matahari kecil (Windu))pada tengah otak tepatnya di kelenjar Pineal. Setelah sedikit saja terbayang sekarang anda ikuti dengan pengucapan suara “O” panjang seperti berbisik, sambil mengucapkan suara “ O “ tuntunlah dengan pikiran bayangan tadi menuju daerah Ajna (diantara kedua alis), rasakan kecepatan getarannya, dari titik Ajna menyebar kesamping kanan-kiri agak naik menuju ujung luar kedua alis / pelipis membentuk Arda-Chandra (bulan sabit), setelah dirasa sampai pada ke dua pelipis tariklah kembali menuju titik tengah namun agak dibawah (pangkal hidung atas) selanjutnya cepatlah bawa turunmelalui hidung dan niatkan memasuki pangkal lidah langsung ke ujung lidah, begitu sampai di ujung lidah tutuplah bibir dengan Aksara “M” secara pelan, sehingga Aksara “O” yang diucapkan panjang tadi menggetarkan “M” dan terdengarlah gema Ooommmngng. Gema yang digetarkan tadi apabila sesuai dengan resonansi getaran kelenjar Pineal Anda (setiap orang berbeda) maka gema tersebut akan kembali terdengar dan terasa menggetarkan kelenjar Pineal anda seperti dengungan travo neon listrik, kemudian keluar melalui ke dua telinga menuju ke atas dan menyatu di ubun-ubun. Bila telah dirasakan hal seperti ini, berarti anda telah mampu menguasai gema Om yang nantinya dapat digunakan untuk keperluan permohonan kepada Tuhan atau kedua mantra Suci diatas lebih bertujuan untuk menyatukan diri dengan Atman ataupun Brahman sehingga anda lebih meyakini adanya Atman / Roh ataupun Brahman / Tuhan Yang Maha Esa.

Monday, May 11th, 2009The God Within
Tuesday, May 5th, 2009God is never an object of isolation but the very core of your being. The difference between Self and God is just like the wave and the ocean. Can there be a wave without the ocean?
Who are you? Do you know about yourself? Find out about yourself first. If you think you are just the body, that is not possible because the body has its limitations. If you think that you are the mind then that is also not possible because the mind too has its limitations. It is just another layer of our existence. If you know that you are Silence or that you are Space, then it is possible God is also space.
Just like your body is made up of proteins, amino acids and carbohydrates, your mind and soul are made up of love. You are made up of love. Everyone is full of love and love is God. So you are made up of God! Every little atom of your body is made up of love and that is what is God. Do not think God is sitting somewhere in heaven. God is here and now!
God is not somebody with a big white beard, sitting in heaven. God is love. He is space. When you are meditating, when you feel at peace, at home with everyone, you are in touch with the Divine force. Can you live without love? In the Upanishads, it is said kham kham brahma – the space is God, in which every thing is and into which everything dissolves.
What is not God? What is the definition of God, if at all there is one? You describe it as that which is everywhere; which is all-powerful, which is responsible for this creation, for its maintenance, and for its dissolution; which is Omnipresent, Omnipotent, and Omniscient. You say, “I want to see God”. When you want to see God as something, as an object, then it is not everywhere. Then you are not God. This wanting to see God as separate from you is also an illusion. God is not an object of senses, but the feeling of feelings, the presence of presence, the sound of silence, the light of life, the essence of the world and the taste of bliss.
Just as love is felt in the heart, so is God’s presence felt. God is never an object of isolation. God is the sum totality. When you dissolve, God remains. When you are there, there is no God. Either you can be there, or God can be there, not both. So when you meditate, you become one with God. You are God. That is why it is said, Tat tvam asi, meaning, ‘Thou art that.’
God is to be felt in the depth of your heart. God can neither be perceived through your senses nor through the mind. God is the seer himself. Who sees? That is God. Space is God. Space is everywhere, and everything is in space. Nothing can touch space. Nothing can destroy space. And you cannot see space as a separate object.
There are three types of space: Bhuta Aakash: Outer space in which all this universe exists, Chitta Aakash: The world of impressions, thoughts, and dreams that exist in your mind, and Chida Akaash: The sky of consciousness that is all permeating, everywhere; the consciousness, the basis of all creation, that is Divine – that which knows all.
You cannot make God an object of your sight. If you make it that, then it is no more God. You can live God, can be God, but you cannot consider God as an object which gives you the path.
The whole existence has a mind of its own. It is just like you. You have a mind and it has such intelligence, that’s why it keeps everything orderly. Similarly, this moment is seen by this big mind. This moment knows exactly what to do. There are so many activities happening in the whole creation. Right now, some people are sleeping, some are waking, some activity or the other is happening in the whole world. Right now enormous activity is happening in the mind, in the present. In the Now! This mind is what you can call Atma or God and that is what you are.
The one beyond the Self is God. First one needs to reach the Self at least. The difference between Self and God is just like the Wave and the Ocean. Can there be a wave without the ocean?
GOD is the Generator, Operator and Destroyer (Brahma, Vishnu and Maheshwara). The present moment has generated; the present moment is operating; and the present moment destroyed the past. So you are in God and God is in you. There is a place for everybody in the heart of the Divine.
The mind is so used to looking to the concrete and promises that it cannot appreciate something abstract. Then the mind needs promises. When you love somebody, you want a promise from them that they really love you. That is why Jesus says, “I am partially exposed so you will know what I’m saying to you. You just know me partially, and there is a big part of me that you do not know.”
If you are inside the house, the doors do not mean much to you. You do not need the door to be closed or open when you are already inside the house or inside the room. When you are not inside the room, you need the door to be opened. Jesus said, “You have burned enough in the sun, in the heat. You have roamed all over the place. Just come inside; this room is ready for you.” This is the confidence that a master gives you.
You do not believe what you do not know. You say that you do not believe in God. God is the very core of your being. Like an onion, if you start peeling the layers one by one, when you reach the center, there is nothing. Everything is made up of that space. The whole is God, everything is God and that consciousness is present everywhere. I am present here, I am present there, I am present everywhere. That being, that space, the very consciousness is what people have called God because it is present everywhere at all times. It is to that omnipresence, that omnipotence that all the different names have been given.
You can look at it this way. In the body there are many cells and each of them has its own life. New cells are coming up and old cells are dying but they have no knowledge of you. Yet, these cells are affected by you and you are affected by a single cell. In the same way, know that the big life and the big mind, which encompasses all our minds and all our lives, is what we can give the name – God. It is useless to find a meaning. A flower blooms. What is the purpose of beauty? You may say that it is to enjoy. What is the purpose of joy? There is no purpose to joy, it is an end in itself.
Life, when it is lived in its totality, is an end in itself and a beginning in itself. Love, joy, beauty, all that is precious and valuable in life, are really beyond value, beyond meaning, beyond purpose.
