Daaji came to the office in the meditation hall around 10.50 a.m. to meet some guests as well as some practitioners there. Vasco and Maria Gaspar from Portugal had arrived for the upcoming Deep U retreat and greeted Daaji. Rasik Khanjee and Professor Bhura, along with some other practitioners from South Africa, had come to meet Daaji. As they waited for CB Patel to arrive for the meditation session, Daaji asked Vasco about recent developments in his life, and Vasco shared that every day he feels as if things are new and yet in some manner the same. He had a sense of everything coming to a stop.
Daaji drew an analogy using train journeys, highlighting the contrast between being inside a compartment and feeling as if things are not moving even if the train is hurtling on at high speed versus being outside where the speed is palpable. He related this to the stillness when our awareness matches the awareness of the being who carries us, such as the Master. It is only if we are no longer within that sphere that we may feel life’s movements with more acuity. He touched on the concept of sin in Judaism, where feeling separate from God is considered the only sin.
CB Patel then arrived and Daaji explained to him the basic concepts of how to meditate before he conducted the meditation session from 11.15 a.m. to 1.41 a.m. After the meditation, a Brighter Minds demo was given to them. Daaji then accompanied the guests onto the stage for a group picture and then departed, accompanied by CB Patel and Bernard Descaux of France, to his residence. CB Patel then received a Heartfulness Polarity session from Bernard before lunch.
