Experience the Master - Here and Now!

In one of the recent messages of Swamiji, He gave a wonderful technique - 'Just start blessing whoever your sight falls on. Go to malls, or just sit outside your home and watch the passers by, and keep blessing them for all auspiciousness to happen in their lives, for them to be blissful. If you can't bless aloud, then just bless them silently inside. But make it a point to bless each and every single person you see. Not just humans, you can even bless the dogs on the street, or even a plant or a tree. Just keep on blessing'.

After just few days of practicing this technique, I experienced a sudden cognitive shift inside. Here are the clicks that I experienced through this technique:

1. Firstly, with every blessing, I experienced a shift from being a "seeker" to rising to the space of the Master. As I seeker, we keep seeking - whether it is joy, happiness or even enlightenment. We keep seeking happiness from situations, or seek spiritual upliftment from the Master. But this technique simply forces us to start showering, not seeking anymore. We are forced to experience the very space of the Master - the space from where only showering happens, showering of the nectar of joy and fulfillment to any being that comes in contact with the breathing space of the Master.

2. I also experienced that as I practiced this technique, there is an overflowing feeling of contentment inside, because only a full pot can overflow. If we are caught with any problem or depression, then focus of our energy is on us. But we start blessing others, the focus simply shifts from us tiny ego to the world... the fulfilment first spreads in the system and then is trasmitted to the outside - how wonderful!

3. Another sweet experience that accompanies everytime I remember to bless someone is that my body language and memories get automatically flooded with that of the Master. The simple reason being that Swamiji and 'Blessing the Cosmos' are not different. The ingredients that make up Swamiji are just compassion to uplift and bless humanity. And having witnessed Swamiji bless thousands of His disciples, those memories automatically get downloaded everytime I think of blessing someone.

What an amazing technique to experience the Master, here and now.
