Journey With Babaji

Mahaavatar Babaji
How Successfully Walking With God May Be Achieved


Greetings my dear Internet Friends:

I come to you today, in Essence, to greet you and encourage you on your path to enlightenment. Come with me now in your imagination as we, my disciple and I, take you on a journey to a memory that lies deep within your Essence. We now will share a simple poem from my book, Unity With the Divine. All of you reading this are Divine, all people are Divine, you all have but to remember. I am one of the Himalayan Yogis from a long lineage, who wishes to help those of you who resonate with my vibration. Remember: Our standing question in this Blog is: From the heart, will you resonate? And so it is! Amen and OM…

The following poem is from Babaji to you, His Internet friends, as written in “Unity With The Divine.” The Interpretation is by Utpalavati

How Successfully Walking With God Is Wrought

Sand trickles through the hourglass of time.
When time stops you know you have
Arrived in the oneness of bliss.
Let bliss be . . . as it comes and goes.
Rest awhile in bliss when your toes know
What you head is doing.

Know with the totality of your essence
That the snows of winter melt into
Springtime flowers . . .
And India’s Holy Ganges River
Flows into the greater oceans
Bringing Light and Unity into World View.

Let us join in the family of men and women
Walking into eternity’s light of forevermore.
Wear a smile of *redemption
As you learn to convey Atma Kriya
To all who seek it through sincere effort.

Thereby, achievement of successfully
Walking with God is wrought!

•Redemption: The liberation, enlightenment of Hindus. The salvation, deliverance, emancipation of Christians. All spiritual paths have this same concept embedded in their teachings. Swami Vishwananda’s teachings include all spiritual paths, but teach primarily from the Hindu and Christian.

Interpretation of Babaji’s poem - Utpalavati (disciple of Swami Vishwananda and Mahaavatar Babaji).

Sand trickles through the hourglass of time.
Interpretation: “Sand of time” represents life experience on Earth.

When time stops you know you have
Arrived in the oneness of bliss.
Interpretation: In the state of Divine bliss, space and time do not exist. [time… as in past, present, future]

Let bliss be . . . as it comes and goes.
Interpretation: Until enlightenment is achieved, bliss is experienced in time periods of minutes, hours or days rather than continuously. The Enlightened Masters, who incarnate to assist mankind on his path to Enlightenment, exist in a continual state of bliss hidden from view of the eyes of the world, while concurrently carrying on their work in the world. The Enlightened Masters, out of their great love for humanity come again and again to show the way.

Rest awhile in bliss when your toes know
What you head is doing.
Interpretation: When one achieves the state of meditation wherein thoughts cease (in the head), the toes of one’s feet stop walking in the world due to no thought reaching their awareness to create movement. (That is the people who have bliss intermittently while the Enlightened Masters do walk in the world but maintain continuous bliss).

Know with the totality of your essence
That the snows of winter melt into
Springtime flowers . . .
Interpretation: The winter snows represent the difficult times in one’s life that merge into springtime flowers of the bliss of learned lessons that bring peace, fulfillment, harmony and divine love into life experience. Cycles of nature teach man as Mahaavatar teaches in Epistle Five: “Nature dawned on Earth and since that time, as you know it, nature began in all its sequential efforts to teach mankind the lessons of Divine Will. Nature has cycles from the rose in springtime bloom to winter’s silence and then returning to spring and again the blooming.”

And India’s Holy Ganges River
Flows into the greater oceans
Bringing Light and Unity into World View.
Interpretation: Out of the sacred Himalayas of India where Babaji exists in His so-called Immortal Mahaavatar Babaji form, the pure mountain snows melt into the Holy Ganges River that flows into the greater oceans. This is a symbol of the teachings of the yogis of the Himalayas, including Babaji’s teachings in His Epistles that through the centuries bring knowledge and wisdom (light) through the wisdom teachings flowing into the world-at-large, collective consciousness. . . Unity!

Let us join in the family of men and women
Walking into eternity’s light of forevermore.
Wear a smile of *redemption
As you learn to convey Atma Kriya
To all who seek it through sincere effort.
Interpretation: This section of the poem is given by Babaji as interpretation for readers who sincerely seek knowledge of Atma Kriya to consider working with Sri Swami Vishwananda and His Atma Kriya as instructed by Babaji.

Thereby, achievement of successfully
Walking with God is wrought.
Interpretation: Jagadguru Mahaavatar Babaji’s Atma Kriya as taught by Swami Vishwananda, when practiced in committed sadhana has the power to bring Enlightenment—Unity With The Divine, hence Babaji’s chosen title for His book!

Sri Swami Vishwananda:

“Through the ages many teachers, many Saints and Sages have lived, Their message, in its essence was always the same, yet wrapped in different words, languages and traditions [religions]. What we lack in this world are not the teachings on God realization; what we lack is people’s will to really go within and put the teachings into practice [one way being Atma Kriya]. Especially in today’s world, there exist a lot of distractions that lead to ‘outer attachments’ that are finite and cause suffering again and again when lost. People should become aware of the ‘inner attachments’ that are eternal and cause no suffering. God is always there like the sun shining through a window. It is up to us to draw the curtains and open the window.” — Sri Swami Vishwananda – (from… website www.bhaktimarga.org).

“Swami Vishwananda embraces all religions and cultures. He teaches us to go beyond the concept of religions and to find the underlying unity, the unconditional universal Divine Love inside. He respects and venerates all great masters, saints and sages from all religions and cultural backgrounds. Swami Vishwananda asks us to love everyone in the same way and to see everybody as a part of God’s creation. Through Bhakti or devotion, we can realize this underlying connection within ourselves.” —Blossoming Of The Heart, Introduction
