Re: Issues with japa as of late
Dear c.smith ji,
you are "trying hard" for something ... if we fix an expectation and try to "reach" it, japa will also become very burdensome.
Spiritual Sadhana should not become goal chasing. It is to "Be" here and now.... now where to go , nothing to do.
If your japa is the name of a God or Goddess, you can tell them to take over. God is not impressed by how much japa you have done. Of what use is to him ? Japa is your method to "be" with God. Right now, God is present by your side... you just have to be here and now.
Look within and inquire where do you want to be ? if it is somewhere other than here ... you will not be happy... if it is here, you will feel happy right now ! Intensely ... because the Presence of God. The being within is God. You have no where to go spiritually. you just have to "Be" as that Presence. What is greater sadhana than to dissolve in the God -- for an advaita student, God is the "Being", "I AM", "Awareness" within... a living God ... just dissolve.
Love!
Silence
Come up, O Lions, and shake off the delusion that you are a sheep
