Whenever you take something strain is involved; as in reaching for something and taking it and pulling toward you. That same principal applies to meditation. If your individuality meditates, their will be a resistance, a strain, or a friction within it — then it’s distasteful. But when meditation is a happening, when it is received as a gift, or as a spontaneous flowering, then no distaste can attach to that.
So meditation, in the sense of reception, or receptivity is a gift. When you have this full appreciation that you flower in meditation, spontaneously, as opposed to produce meditation, effort-fully, then you are beginning to relax in to the sahaja or the naturalness of Being.

David: Now, in addition to Atman and Brahman, can you feel the shakti? Can you feel this current? ....this power? Participant: It's sort of a vibrating bliss. David: It's not "sort of". Get rid of "sort of", that's in the field of “maybe”. It's ...
David: Yes. Participant: When Brahman shows up, as you put it, is it self-authenticating? Is it obvious? David: Oh my god. It's beyond that. It's too big to know. Brahman is too big to know. You should know that you know. There can be no way ...

Moderator: A Comment from a viewer in Sunnyvale, “True yoga, beautiful absorption, everything unites.” And a question from Brazil “Is there such a thing as an absolute body that doesn't ever dissolve?” David: Do you mean a human body? Is that ...
Moderator: From Seattle, "If ones entire nervous system is alive with the movement of divine energy and this radiates to others, is that sahaja samadhi or can this happen prior to sahaja samadhi?" David: Yes it can happen prior, most definitely. ...
When I say that sahaja samadhi encapsulates all the lower samadhis, and dissolves them into a new state, I don't mean that those samadhis go away. They are still all fully functionally present. Self-realization is present in sahaja samadhi. ...
Participant: I'll try to say something, I don't know if I can though. I guess, uh...I just, um...I just feel such a profound love in the room. That's all I can really say. David: We don't need words. So beautifully said and yet we don't need ...
You keep your heart open in love. Don't go away from love. Don't figure this out with your head. Just open your heart in it. It’s so much easier. I know people who just want to go through the mind all the time. Oh god. It’s like applying sand ...
