Even when I pray, I am You; SOHAMASMI
In today's Nithya Satsang (20th October, 2015), live from Varanasi, Paramahamsa Nithyananda expands on the science of prayer, which is revealed in 16th verse of Isa Upanishad, which forms the basis for the celebrativeness of Hindu tradition. One of the mistakes humanity makes is thinking that putting yourself down is the only way you can put your God up. He urges us that – “ Even while you pray, you don't need to put yourself down or have a low inner self image. You don't have to be a sinner to make God a Saint.” The Upanishad Rishis are very clear, ‘SOHAMASMI – Even when I pray, I am You. It is not that only after realization. Even when I have not experienced my oneness with you, even though I am devotee praying to you. I know, I am one with you.” Remember this right context and bring prayer in your life. SOHAMASMI. pūṣann ekarṣe yama sūrya prājāpatya vyūha raśmīn samūha tejaḥ | yat te rūpaṁ kalyāṇatamaṁ tat te paśyāmi yo sāv asau puruṣaḥ, so’ham asmi ||16||
