Teachings to Live By - Swami Muktananda

These daily dharanas have created such a perfect morning practice. I have particularly enjoyed the meditations afterwards. Today I went back to the seventh teaching and relished various memories of offering seva at Shree Muktananda Ashram. I can access the delight and the lovely, gentle glow I felt and can feel now whenever I offer seva. I am so grateful to be reminded of the natural happiness that arises within and to know that I can access this happiness at any time, at all times. How wondrous and delightful! Throughout my day, when I remember to turn within, there that happiness is—right there, just ready to be remembered. It is so easeful and natural. I breathe more easily, and my heart is very happy.

I am immensely enjoying reading and meditating on each of these teachings from Baba. This one, in particular, has given me such contentment. In its directness, I have found clear instruction. It makes me want to fling my arms up and dance. Contemplating it has made me recognize that I already own the happiness it describes. This simple joy sits within me, as me. My job is to keep remembering that truth.

Baba’s teaching that happiness comes from within is so profound for me. I felt this “divine happiness” when I practiced the dharana and focused on my heart region.

What a gift it is to know and remember that my happiness does not come from the outer world, from my accomplishments, relationships, material items, or fulfillment of desires, but from inside myself.

I always enjoy listening to the dharanas and meditating afterward.

For me, Baba’s teachings are nuggets of gold, drenched in sweet love. I cannot imagine receiving Baba’s teachings in a more loving and compassionate way. I feel the teachings becoming deeply anchored in me, and I am infinitely grateful for them as they uplift me and make my life more easeful.
