The Correct Use of Will
Today we are contemplating the true and noble use of our will.
One of the most powerful aspects of being human is the free will that we were given before we were even born. Even the angels and our spiritual guides will not stand against our free will. Not even God will not interfere with our free will. Would I therefore propose, on the basis of this, that the future is very fluid-it is constantly changing and we have the power to change it. God always grants us our will. Whatever you will, is what you get. There is no second guessing.
So first, you might find that it is most appropriate to sit in a comfortable position and relax. As you sit, you might notice that your eyes naturally close as they are now used to closing during meditation. After 14 days of daily meditation, with eyes mostly closed, wouldn’t it be a wonderful thing to feel great as we are establishing a habit of daily meditation. Best of all, close your eyes and relax into a meditative state.
I congratulate you for your will to get to this point. You might find that through the meaning of meditation: the act of giving your attention to only one thing, you have been meditating even when you were carrying out your daily activities. Fourteen days of meditation-the one thing that has dominated your attention. You have made meditation a part of life. You will from now be meditating whenever you have time. You will make the time whenever it feels like you do not have the time.
As you listen to my voice and accept the congratulations from me, you might find that you are relaxing deeper and deeper. And the deeper you relax, the more comfortable you become and the deeper you relax further. So deeper and deeper you are relaxing. You are comfortable and relaxed. Deeper and deeper you relax. Your body is relaxed. Your subconscious mind is listening to my voice and is actively responding to my words. It will command the body to relax until it hears the final Thank you. Then it will wake your conscious mind up. For now, all you are doing is relaxing. Relax.
The subconscious is now taking control of your correct use and application of will
Now let us set our intention for this meditation: Today I make the correct use of my will. I am redefining the correct use of my will. Today I embrace a whole new use of my will.
What does will mean then. Will is the power the mind has to decide its actions. Say this with me: My will is the power of my mind to decide my actions.
But we are so used to saying let your will be done. Let your mind exercise its power to decide my actions. Why is it that we always do the opposite. If we are giving God permission to exercise his will on us, our role is to observe the will of God and do it. God is perfect and would love for your thoughts to be perfect. He would love for you to observe his perfection by thinking perfect thoughts. So relax and contemplate perfect thoughts.
As you relax, notice that there is a power that exists in all things and all things are made by it and all things are made of it. It is a thinking substance. Our first correct use of our will is to understand the existence of this power, not as an outside force but as a part of us that exists in us and as us. It is one with us. Our correct use of will is to direct our minds to acknowledge this power not only daily but every minute of our lives.
This is what we should do. That is what Krishna instructs Ajna to do in the Bhagavad Gita. To understand that you are one with this power and that there is no division and there is no separation. Acknowledgement of this power should be the primary use of our will
The second use of your will is to want to be like this power. Your mind should direct every part of you to come back home. Coming back home means going back to oneness with that power. We should direct our will to being happy, perfect and whole. That is the correct use of our will-the only thing God cannot and will never take away from us.
The third use of your will is to direct your mind on a daily basis, starting with a few minutes, to imagining yourself as whole, complete and like this power. The more you direct your mind to recognise the purity and beauty and wholeness that exists in you and that you are, the less you have anything you would call a problem. Will is the direction of your mind. Direct it to recognise your purity. Recognise your perfection in every area. Remember perfection is having enough of your Health, Love and Wealth.
Direct your mind to only thoughts of having sufficient health, wealth and love. That is the battle that is described in the Bhagavad Gita. This is the battle of the mind. The more you take part in this battle willingly, the more you will win it.
Take your time to contemplate this.
Relax and contemplate.
Thank you
