I am You, You are Me

In my meditations with the Gurus, I have been given a simple, natural way of achieving the non-attached state I am now in. You who read this do not have to go through the intense yogic practice I have gone through. In fact time is too short--the new millennium is upon us. Out of my profound longing the Guru bestowed upon me, upon all of us, the “I AM YOU, YOU ARE ME” meditation. We may receive guidance on the spiritual path by using this mantra to call upon the Divine with our breath. Feel divinely connected at evey moment, use the mantra at the slightest sense of duality. Breathe it to merge with spirit, with God or any manifestation of God--there are so many names, all One, all enlightening.

The Ten Sikh Gurus
1. Guru Nanak
2. Guru Angad
3. Guru Amar Das
4. Guru Ram Das
5. Guru Arjan
6. Guru Hargobind
7. Guru Har Rai
8. Guru Har Krishan
9. Guru Teg Bahadur
10. Guru Gobind Singh

Divine spirits are purity.

They are blissful, all-wise and serviceful.
And want to merge with you.
As "Pawan Guru" they are the "air element",
Breathe them into yourself:

Choose a Divine Being you wish to merge with,
Inhale the intention,
"I am you."
Hold the breath briefly, feel it,
Exhale your combined essence with love,
"You are me,"
to the Divine.


Continue breathing Spirit
Until you feel a divine presence filling you
With instantaneous Grace.
It occurs when you least expect it
And is exquisite to behold.

Continuing breathing love to merge in love.


Live and breathe the mantra in everything you do,
Every routine, every sacred act,
Every imaginable human way.




"I AM YOU" .............."YOU ARE ME"


Picking up a dirty dish.......Washing it and setting it in the dish rack.

Choosing a seed....
...Putting it in a hole and covering it with soil.

Chewing and swallowing food to the mantra over and over again.

Ladeling tea from a big pot....
...Pouring it into a container.

Reaching for a bead on a Mala... ...Pulling the bead toward you.

Cutting grass with a scythe... ...Placing the grass into a carrying bag.


The field of grass represents the Divine's natural expanse,
The bag, your body shell.

Your every motion expresses the mantra's meaning.
Consciously breathing the mantra
Profoundly deepens your experience.
Such a union with the Divine
Cannot be torn asunder.
It is silent
Precious
And Eternally Sacred.


We already are who we are going to become.
Stop looking,
Stop trying!
Just be you
A true incarnation
Of Divine!

We all have the same link
To a conscious connection with God,
Our Life Breath.
Practice conscious breathing
At all times
With every movement.

When in a public place
Do the mantra for everyone around you
To merge
Fearlessly,
Same in an airport
As in a temple,
For the whole world,
The Cosmos--
"We are you, You are Us"
Breathing the Divine into all,
All into the Divine.
People feel it.
They do not need to know
Where it is coming from.
They are It.

The more you breathe this mantra
The more a divine presence
Will rarefy your breath,
The light in your eyes,
The power and sweetness of your speech
And your grace of movement.
All becomes effortless.
Such union with the Divine
Cannot be torn asunder.
It is silent,
Precious and
Eternally Sacred.

I am not higher or lower than anyone.
I am You--
A human being
With the same mechanisms
Of higher consciousness
At our disposal.

The New Age is upon us.
There is not time
To do six years of Sat Kriya,
So Darshan Chakra Kriya
And the Ten Body Meditation
To heal the world.
Just call on the Gurus and saints
And let them do it.
They will come through.
That is all I do...
Allow.

There is no time
There are no steps
No outline.
When you take one step towards a Divine Being
The Divine Being takes millions of steps towards you.

It is that simple.
Drop emotional and intellectual agendas and pride
Lean on God and your breath instead,
The Divine will take care of your affairs.
You have to want to leave your safe plateau and take
That first step.

Just breathe consciously.
You wil feel connected.
It is not the life that matters
But the courage you bring to it.

Taking a step towards the Divine
Is as simple as choosing between living
With shallow values or living righteously,
Attached to things or attached to your purity.
It is as effortless as calling upon a spiritual guide
To support your
reach
In prayer and meditation
,
Allowing their blessings to prevail.

It is as simple and profound as taking a Hukam,
A random reading from the Siri Guru Granth Sahib,
And taking it fully to heart.

As in the True Guru's guidance
From the Golden Temple of Amritsar
On the day of this writing:



--Raag Suhi, Fifth Guru, Siri Guru Granth Sahib, page 741

One who remains dead while yet alive (gets out of the way, allows…) understands God.

He meets the humble beings according to the karma of his past actions.

Listen, O friend - this is how to cross over the terrifying world-ocean:

Meet with the Holy, and chant the Lord's Name.

There is no other to know, except for the One Lord.
So realize that the Supreme Lord God is within each and every heart.

Whatever He does, accept that as good.

Know the value of the beginning and the end.

Says Nanak, I am a sacrifice to that humble being,
within whose heart the Lord dwells.
