Yogiji's meditation photograph was planned for and taken while he was in a deep meditative state of samadhi. He opened his eyes only long enough for the photographer to take the picture. His expressions mirrors or counters--challenges, your state of consciousness at first glance.
Receptive meditation on his image, inhaling through the left nostril and exhaling through the right, breathing Sat Nam from your crown into his eyes, enables you to transcend the physical photograph and a judgmental state of mind and engage with a vast energy field. The photo changes expressions, talks, answers your questions and addresses one's deepest spiritual issues.
Yogi Bhajan admitted that it would be impossible for him to duplicate the state of consciousness in which that photo was taken. It is priceless.
In this meditation, Yogi Bhajan is like the earth circling around the sun, where the sun circles around the universe. We are each like the moon circling the earth, circling, connecting with the Divine effortlessly.
