We all talk about love for God, the cosmic spirit and aspiring for the divine, but often we are not clear on what we are really aspiring for — and thus do not end up realizing it. At other times we miss the palpable experience of divinity in the strife of life because we are not wakeful. Either way, divinity remains at best an intellectual concept, far away from the vessel of our experience. It is worthy of pity that despite being immersed in and surrounded by divinity all of our living moments, we manage to stay bereft of its live experience. Our very survival depends on divinity coursing through our veins, and hissing through our breath -– yet we ask what it is. To truly feel the essence of divinity, and the love of and for the cosmic spirit, there is a simple path of Mantra Yoga or the discipline of remembrance. Constantly uttering the divine names gradually makes the name slip from the contours of the lips to the recesses of the heart -– from where it begins to form a pool of sweet nectar that, once you taste, you cannot do without. When you ride the wave of remembrance, you no longer get overthrown by the waves of illusion, and are able to tune in to the divine cosmic currents at will. The empowered syllables also allow you to stay aligned to the cosmic will quite effortlessly, and life becomes a joy ride.
