Daaji went for a morning walk and then conducted a meditation session in the Gazebo. He went for rounds in the ashram after that.

Later that day he had an interview with Mr Caspar Szulc on his new bestseller, Spiritual Anatomy. Mr Szulc is currently the President and Co-Founder of Innovative Medicine – a company dedicated to transforming healthcare through an advanced and comprehensive form of personalized integrative medicine. 

In the interview, Daaji explained how a spiritual practice such as meditation will give rise to newly refined perceptions. If we do not attend to them they can become burdensome. e.g. Our refined perception will permit us to notice how someone in our entourage is suffering even if it is not quite evident. We can then take necessary action to help them if possible. Ideally, our education is meant to expand one’s awareness to the highest possible level. A truly educated person responds in such a way that a maximum number of people can benefit from their education.

In this context, Daaji highlighted that personalized medicine is for people who can afford its high cost. We must come up with a protocol in such a way that it can become universal in identifying the genes or the causes so that based on their blood sample a proper remedy can be immediately identified for that person. He felt that although such a situation is not yet possible, our mindset needs to drive us in that direction so that a solution can be found for all and not remain merely accessible to the wealthy and the privileged people of the world. 

In the same interview, Daaji went on to carefully explain the phenomenon of expansion of consciousness. He has a fascinating way of describing complex phenomena of the mind and its functioning, with clever, lucid, and relevant examples from everyday life. Daaji elucidated how we should pay heed to the life force within us, and restore the inner processes to their right mode by Heartfulness meditation and Cleaning so that we can keep transcending new heights of consciousness each day. It makes us confident and fearless. 

The life force within us is never going to end. It comes with us at birth and we leave the world with it. More often than not, we spend our lives in worry whilst hankering after so many things. But when we learn to meditate and perceive this life force present within ourselves, we learn to gradually let go of the wavering tendencies of our mind and our physicality. We begin to truly unwind our inner complexities. As we rid ourselves of those and our consciousness becomes refined, we automatically shift our focus on the essential things in life. The constant state of being worried then begins to abate. 

Daaji explained how people come for several reasons to this practice of meditation. Some come for peace, some for relief from some deep trauma, or some because they want something or the other very desperately. Soon they realise that the goal they came for begins to recede in some mysterious way. Because even peace has a spectrum. Like joy — the joy of eating an ice cream is different as compared to the joy of sitting silently with the beloved. The resonance is different in every part of the spectrum.

Bliss arising out of meditation is uniform. There is no spectrum in that case because there is nothing to contrast it. There is an opposite state to that of joy, of happiness, of peace but not of Bliss when we experience that. Even when we are in a perfectly blissful state, we say, what is next? That is the beauty of a true spiritual practice. It enables us to transcend new states of consciousness every single day.

When Dr Schulz asked about his book Spiritual Anatomy, Daaji began by explaining energy vortices. These chakras can be truly ‘felt’. We will find energies moving and vibrating in a clockwise or an anticlockwise motion. At each energy vortex, our emotions are different. Our moods are different. Our inner experiences will be different at each chakra. The frequency and resonance will be different. Carefully, Daaji described the various chakras of the spiritual anatomy one by one and why it is so important to take care of these inner states, leading to continuous improvement every single day.

After the interview, Daaji had a late dinner and ended his day with some much-needed rest.
