Realized knowledge of our Divine nature will free us from eight basic conditions of human suffering: fear, hatred, grief, shame, condemnation, race prejudice, class prejudice and narrowness of thinking. Once we are free of these eight conditions of human suffering, we have the freedom to live our life within our nature of eternal love, harmony, virtue, beauty, and joy. Through the process of discovering our Self, we come to live within our true nature of eternal (Sat), consciousness (Tat), joy (Aum). We are happiness.
Meditation is a process of Self-discovery that leads to knowledge of our holistic nature. The goal of meditation is to realize that our nature and the nature of God are one and the same. Knowledge of our oneness leads to a natural unfoldment of the human Spirit into our nature of Divine consciousness. Realization of our wholistic nature is a two-fold process of Self-awareness. Firstly, by calming down the mind, breath and ego (meditation) we discover who we are—our human nature, our Divine nature and our God-consciousness nature. Secondly, this knowledge is then utilized to allow us to let go of our mindsets and go beyond our limitations, thereby freeing ourselves into our Divine nature and harmonizing with all life (God). We will then have true freedom (mukti) to live within our holistic nature of love, harmony, virtue, beauty and joy; freedom into life and life more abundantly.
The Holy Ones are a living inspiration and message of our oneness with God. Just as listening to beautiful music does not make us a musician, so too, simply listening to the message of the Holy Ones will not help us attain the completion we desire. To have lasting happiness, we must experience for ourselves our oneness with all life, realizing that unmanifested (Shiva) and manifested (Shakti) are ever in union.
