Sri Sadgurubhyoh Namah
Chapter 4, Text 10
vita‑raga‑bhaya‑krodhaman‑maya mam upasritah
bahavo jnana‑tapasa
puta mad‑bhavam agatah
TRANSLATION
Being freed from attachment, fear and anger, being fully absorbed in Me and
taking refuge in Me, many, many persons in the past became purified by
knowledge of Me‑‑and thus they all attained transcendental love for Me.
Dhyana :
1) Attachment : Look into your mind , look for your
attachments in life. Take one attachment, and then let it go. Leave it from
your mind. Observe the heart center. Observe the lightness there.
2) Fear : Similarly, take one of your fears. You may fear
that such and such thing might happen, and you are afraid of it. Visualize that
the particular undesirable thing has indeed happened. Face it in your mind. Go
through the possible after effects of the feared event. See clearly that you
can face it, let go of the fear. Observe the lightness of the body.
3) Anger : Metta meditation : Bring to your mind any one of
the incidents / persons who made you angry. If you are still angry with that
person or that remembrance, observe the pain in the heart center when you think
of that person. Student has to clearly see the pain. Do you want to suffer pain
? If not, then forgive wholeheartedly that person, because you want a lighter
heart. Forgive others , because nobody is perfect. Forgive entire world at
large.
Bring to your mind any action that may have caused harm to
others. Ask for forgiveness from the universe and that person, in your mind,
honestly. Forgive others, if you want to be forgiven.
If you are not able to free yourself from any of the negative emotions, surrender to God to help you to get rid of it. Once you are free from negative emotions, take refuge in god.
