내가 침묵을 깨는 순간 - 메허 바바

Kabir has said: "Any music is the seventh shadow of that Word." In God Speaks, I deal with this.
As soon as I break my silence, that first Word will make your hearts vibrate."

Kabir는 "모든 음악은 그 말씀의 일곱 번째 그림자입니다."라고 말했습니다.  
God Speaks에서 나는 이것을 다룬다.  
내가 침묵을 깨는 순간,
그 첫 마디가 당신의 가슴을 진동시킬 것입니다."

삼매 사마디의 종류

The group was also divided on the subject, so Baba decided that one day he would explain, and the next they should be quiet with him. Baba then stated:

Your work has to be defined. It has to be practical and yet divine — practical in the sense that in every life it can be achieved, not just sitting quiet, aloof, renouncing the world. I will give you new and original aspects of the same truth.

A form of Zoroastrian prayer is called kusti. All four prayers [said that morning] say the same thing. Since Babajan kissed me on the forehead, I bow down to my own Self. Why?

Someone said, "Because there is nothing else to bow down to."

That is my actual, continual experience.

Baba concluded by repeating what he had said earlier:

What is needed is to "become," not only to see. You have to become what you already are. You are God, but you have to know how to become God. Christ humiliated himself to teach this: through love, become what you already are.

Baba came to see the group at Meherabad the next day, Saturday, 18 September 1954, at about 10:00 A.M. He inquired of each about their meditation and then said:

Today I will explain about trance and inner sight — samadhi. Trance, which the Sufis term haal and the Vedantists bhav, is just a momentary ecstasy which, in the true spiritual sense, has no great value. During this state of haal, one feels unconscious of his surroundings and of his own body, but conscious of an overpowering force of bliss pouring in on his soul. As soon as this bhav ends, he is just his ordinary self.

There are four different types of samadhi [trance]: yoga samadhi, tantric samadhi, nirvikalpa samadhi and sahaj samadhi.

Yoga samadhi and tantric samadhi have no importance spiritually. In them one feels at peace with everything and everyone, and finally finds his mind still. But as soon as this samadhi is over, he is again his own ordinary self. Most yogis, after this samadhi, feel the strain of illusion even more. It is like intoxication; one feels in harmony with everything for a while, but when the intoxication is over, one gets a headache. So, yoga samadhi and tantric samadhi are like getting drunk.

One feels as if oneself is an emperor, as if one could do anything; but as soon as it is over, the stress and strain of life resume.

In nirvikalpa samadhi, which the Sufis call fana, and which means passing away from selfhood to Union with God, the soul identifies itself with God. This samadhi is the real samadhi. Here, one becomes God. God's Knowledge is his Knowledge; God's Bliss is his Bliss; God's Power is his Power; God's Beauty is his Beauty! During this samadhi, he has no consciousness of body, energy, mind, universe, but is only conscious of the Self as God. Very, very few get this nirvikalpa samadhi.

It is said, after cycles and cycles, one gets fana. This is called fana-fillah, meaning one who has been made one with God. Very few such persons regain normal consciousness. But One who does regain normal consciousness has sahaj samadhi. Sahaj samadhi is nirvikalpa samadhi in action, when one is fully conscious of the universe. Such a One, when he eats, speaks, moves about, plays or does anything, is enjoying nirvikalpa samadhi all the time. He is called a Qutub, which in Persian means the center of everything — the Pivot — what we name a Perfect Master. He is now on every plane of consciousness, one with God, even on the level of an ant; and simultaneously he is functioning in the gross, subtle and mental worlds. He is above everything.

Sahaj samadhi means effortless oneness. It is as simple as moving the hands or winking the eyelids.

Tomorrow, if you remind me — I don't promise — I will tell you how, when thinking of me, you can still do everything you need to do in the world. This is not sahaj samadhi, but sahaj dnyan. Even while eating, drinking, working, while looking at motion pictures, or attending to your business, you will still feel that Baba is with you. This is sahaj dnyan.

Tomorrow, when we play the Indian records, I intend to explain many things, if I am in a good mood. Today, let us keep silence, but at the same time listen to some English recordings. I am very fond of music, but have not had time to listen recently. The girls [women mandali] made me bring these records. While the records are being played, be here in this room mentally, and not elsewhere.
