Meditation for the full moon of 10th January 2020
Master Morya,
“The relationship that exists between people is important. How you feel inwardly towards your fellow persons is very important; can be very important. That is why it is good to now and again take someone into your heart - either someone you like or perhaps, more specifically, someone with whom you are having problems - but it is important to occasionally include someone in your meditation. Perhaps you will get angry; maybe you will argue; maybe you will say something that you would normally not dare to say if you were actually with that other person. But simply allow that other to come into your heart. Or you can invite someone to come into your heart. Or you can embrace someone, give them a hug to let them know: “You’re welcome here.” Or you might give them a kiss on the cheek as a welcoming; or greet them - in whatever way you feel deep in your heart that you can. In this sense you should search to find a kind of balance in regard to the other.
And then, when you have met that someone, greeted someone, you can ask yourself: “What could I do for you?” And then, in your heart, you should dare to listen to their needs, but without making any promises. Just listen, look, observe.
Naturally, you will be using a bit of imagination for this and that is good. It is also good not to complicate things by thinking: ‘I’m too timid or this is too difficult or bothersome’, no, just do it. And, indeed, every meditation calls for a bit of discipline, such as: I’m not going to let myself be carried away by my feelings or thoughts, but I will observe and take on this task.
One task that everyone has is the task to be a good human being, a good fellow person. And to not be ashamed of your life; not to think that ‘you haven’t managed it well; you haven’t done it right’, but, on the contrary, to be proud and say: ‘I’m a sympathetic person; my heart is in the right place. I dare to come up for myself; I dare to be myself; I dare to enter into a discussion’ - if, for instance, you don’t agree with someone. That, too, is a sign of respect. It’s not good to always stay silent just for the sake of keeping the peace. Now and then you should be able to come up for yourself because you know: ‘actually, I should really like myself’.
In this meditation I invite you to be together with one of your fellow persons - with love, with peace, with joy, with anger, fear, whatever it might be, to be able to have the feeling of what it means to be together with that one person of your choosing.
Later, you may feel that this short meditation did indeed establish something of significance between the two of you. In this sense you are then working on your life. It is not always easy because some people can be really difficult, but that should never frighten you, and in your meditation you can also come to understand this or give it a meaning.
Let us now take five minutes to place someone in our hearts and do whatever we need to do. It is important - and I say this again - to welcome that other person with love. And then look to see what it is you could do from out of yourself for this other person, not that you should feel obliged to afterwards do it as an assignment....it stays a meditation.
And now...to work for five minutes.
...
Now I would like to ask each of you to take this meditation and place it - in the shape of a flower - at the feet of a Divine Mother. Afterwards, step backwards away from Her and come back to yourself.”
