August Satsang Activities & Aug 29th Program with Swami Dayamrita





“No one can experience the Self until his heart is filled with compassion. You cannot 
        build a house just by piling up bricks; you need cement to hold the bricks together. 
        Similarly, we cannot build the steps leading to God without adding the binding quality of 
        love.”

July - August Satsang Activities



  
“One may ask, “The scriptures say that God is within us and not different from our true nature. Then why should we seek refuge in a Satguru?” It is true that God is within us. We are, in truth, the embodiment of Sachidananda—pure existence, pure consciousness, pure bliss. But have we experienced this truth? No, it is being veiled by our ego. We hold the key to the massive treasure chest within us, but that key has become rusty due to a long period of lack of use. Just as we remove rust from a regularly key by applying grease, so too we have to remove the rust of our ahamkara and vasanas—our sense of “I” as a limited body and mind and our deep-rooted tendencies. This will help us realize our true nature. It is for this purpose that we seek refuge in a Satguru. 
However much the guru tries to awaken the disciple, unless the disciple is ready to awaken from within, it will never happen. It’s easy to awaken someone who is sleeping, but it is impossible to awaken someone pretending to be asleep. When you break an egg by force, it puts an end to a life, but when the shell breaks from within, life is created anew. In a similar way, when the disciple awakens from within, it is like a rebirth happening. He or she awakens to their true nature. Being with a Satguru is like being a chick being warmed by the body of the mother hen. The guru’s presence creates the favorable climate in which the seeds of divinity within the disciple can sprout. The guru provides us opportunities. It is up to the disciple as to how they are used.  Once a guru knocked on a disciple’s door with a lamp in his hand. The disciple said, “Open the door and come in.” The guru said, “I cannot do that. This door can only be opened from within.” And so it is: the disciple has to open the doors of the heart to permit the entrance of the guru’s light.”

Please join us to celebrate and honor our beloved Guru, Amma, at 4:00 at Ron's in Wailea today. If you would like to come early and help with set up at 3, please call or text Kalyani 344-0325.


Amma is always encouraging us to increase our spiritual practices and reminds us that we don't do them for ourselves alone. The entire creation benefits from sincere practice. Inspired by this, we are going to begin have two satsangs a month, one upcountry and one in Wailea. We hope to see you there.

"Our thoughts are our own creation. We make them real by cooperating with them. 
If we withdraw our support, they will dissolve. Observe the thoughts closely, without labeling them. Then you will see them gradually going away." -Amma
