holding the center...

in the golden era munis wandered the land of india

with their practice of being completely silent within and without

many rishis or far seers roamed as well  --

this was the time that India was fertile ground for spirituality 

and devotional practices were more common than not

wandering was the main practice of seeking

the householder aided the path by giving food to the sannyasis 

and sadhus that were sincerely absorbed in sadhana

and seeking earnestly the light of truth 

as it was known their efforts would aide humanity...  

there were very few fraudulent sadhus then ...  

and a genuine energy of sincere desire for truth permeated the air

this was quite a different mentality and feeling that is present now...

and speaks to what could be if humanity let go of clinging to wealth, status

and desire for bodily pleasure.... 

this focal point drains the energy of spirit --

waters it down and deconcentrates it to the point where it becomes buried very deep...

so now there is Kali Yuga or the time of great shadow and covering over of beauty and light...

the true sadhus, sannyasis and sages of the golden era were awesome in presence and skillful

at cutting through the thick mentality of dualistic thought...  

this type of mastery of mind is indeed what comes from serious seeking in which the world

is completely forgotten and not entertained at all....  

one cannot describe the openness of the scene at this time --

but it was sure to have been a great meeting of no-minds which held the center of 

energy beautifully....  if you can imagine

Guruji has said often that it has never been the  wordly type Gurus in

in the ashrams that are what gives strength and backbone to spiritual energy ..

it is the sincere sadhus and sages that live in the caves that are unknown in name and form to humanity...

they come out and wander sometimes holding the dandi (spiritual staff) and with this energy of 

meditation and no-mind ....

keep the fires of purification glowing as bright as possible...

so now, even with the world as it is 

the seekers of truth are to honor the same heart as the ones

that came in as naked wanderers of the earth ...  

this is very possible because the pure core is the same ---

and of course the Guru is the one holding the central transmission which makes it all happen...
