What is the gateway to Samadhi?
“What is the gate to Samadhi?” I asked my Teacher.
“The Temple of the Heart,” He replied.
Following my Heart allowed me to dive into life’s magic, beauty and mystery….Once I dived into the depths of life, swimming in shallow water was no longer an option. Conventional life, polluted cities, traffic, lack of prana, meaningless discussions, superficial relations, and shallow thinking were replaced by a heartful path! Listening to my Heart changed my life. The more I cherishedand worshiped the Temple of my Heart, the more I was able to purify my feelings, deepen, refine and share them.
Even my approach to meditation was no longer just sitting with a straight spine and closed eyes in stillness and silence. Life itself became meditation. Walking, talking, traveling, reading, writing, singing, dancing, breathing were no longer unconscious repetitive patterns, conditioned reflexes, moments of absence…Being fully present, vibrant, awake, aware, and conscious; feeling grateful; beautifying my surroundings, saturating them with good vibes, unconditional love and pure thoughts transformed my life. Alive and vibrant, Nature became my teacher, my connection with the wilderness, with Mother Earth, with the Universeempowered my life!
Living as an earthly being, identifying only with my physical body, was so confining! The cosmic energies startedexalting my life! Gradually my existence was “upgraded”. From earthly, ephemeral and impermanent, it became cosmic, permanent and infinite. Entering in a timeless space without borders, my consciousness unfolded and expanded, receiving nourishment from the vastness, the cosmic energy, the intense planetary rays, the higher radiations, the Higher Beings—from Infinity!
This work that we are going to do together will help us connect with the Universal Energy Source..By harmonizing the chakras we will be able to open the channels necessary for the free circulation of this energy.
One day I asked my Teacher again :
“What is the Gate to Samadhi?”
”Love Me, because Love multiplies your strength,” He replied.
“Come closer to Me!”
So I left for India! My journey brought me initially to the West, then to theSouth, and finally to the North. Living inthe Himalayas for almost five months every year uplifted my spirit, multipied my strength and awakened my consciousness. A new life started in India, devoted to the service of my Teacher, to a soulful and fiery journey. The book that I wrote during that time, Yoga: Eastern Heart is the witness and the companion to this journey…
From India, the homeland of yoga and spirituality, ofEnlightened Bodishatvas, Reverend Arhats, and Yogis,the land of beauty and achievements of the spirit, I send you heart greetings! I call you to the Light, to the path of Beauty, to the art of ethical living, to self-perfection and unlimited attainment, to experience the three worlds as one!
