The Master's say, "The breath does not just begin or support life, the breath is the totality of life. It is life, far beyond the simple movement of the lungs in the bodies of mammals."
Till date, we have been believing that the function of nose is to smell from the outer world what is good and what not. Here again, the mind creates a perception of Sugandh and Durgandh. Whereas The Master points out that this life shall exist till we breathe.
In our own personal cosmos of the body and mind, nothing occurs that is not a movement of prana-breath. Every life process is breath itself.
The Master further says, "Breath is the substance of which the inner and outer universe is constructed as well as the power within it which causes it to move and live. Breath is All."
Everyone human being, while entering the human form of life, is given specific breath counts. Once we utilise it, this life of ours will come to an end.
The Master's advice is, "make the best use of each breath. How? By Living in the Remembrance of The Lord.
Our focused Remembrance of The Lord on the breath shall cause its potential to manifest in the way sunlight causes the petals of a flower to open. It is the key to life on the Spiritual path."
As we go deep in The Remembrance of The Lord, an absolute SILENCE and Calmness creeps in. In Calmness, Intuition Gives Birth to Faith.
The Sanskrit word for faith is wonderfully expressive. It is Visvas. Sanskrit Svas refers to the motions of breath, implying thereby life and feeling. Vi conveys the meaning of ‘opposite; without.’ That is, he whose breath, life, and feeling are calm, he can have faith born of intuition.
The Master's say, "Before creation the Cosmic Breath was fully internal, becoming external only at the advent of the universe. It is the same way with us. In the depths of meditation the breath becomes internal so that we, too, breathe inwardly and perceive that inward movement which is a manifestation of our own essential nature.
We immerse our awareness in the breath as that is beyond the thinking mind, beyond all words and concepts, and leads us to the silent consciousness that is our sole reality."
Here, The Master has shown us the importance of orienting the nose from outward to Inward. Every small step we take towards The Lord, shall be showered with The Master's Grace.
Let us do meditation and Live in The Remembrance of The Lord and make our breath count.
