Kurangkan Laju
Sept. 8th, 2010 (Bidadi)
Today again Swami was talking about awareness. 'Hurry-up to Slow down'. I think that's the topic for today.
I was feeling very sleepy while morning talk because last night (or early this morning) after midnight I was busy chatting with a friend of mine in LA sharing my deeper experience in this ashram. That's including the scandal, the program, Swami's personality, the community leaving and so on. I started sharing, we ended up chatting for almost 3 hours. So I didn't get to bed till 3:00am. Then I got up by 5:30am. So I was feeling sleepy in the temple while Swami was giving His morning talk.
Suddenly, I became wide awake. Can you guess why? It's funny, I'll be surprise if anyone could guess it right. Actually suddenly I heard Swami mentioning something about Malaysia and then He utter two Malay words - 'Kurangkan Laju'. He was talking about being aware in our daily activities, for that it's OK to slow down.
So when Swami was in Malaysia, one of the devotee asked Swamiji "tell us in our language what is your message." Swami was thinking it seems, "I've bee in Malaysia only two days (not sure which year was this visit) he want me to tell him in his language my message".
In that visit Swami noticed a sign on the road everywhere He goes, so he asked the driver what it says and what does that mean? The driver said it's written 'Kurangkan laju' which means 'slow down.' That observation helped Swami to answer this devotee's question. Swami said His message is "Kurangkan Laju!" Then He connected that with awareness and slow down. I thought that was very clever and spontaneous! The best part, Swami said it in Malay with no accent, very clear and crisp message. That woke me up! :) Swami speaking Malay?! That's cool. Being born and brought in Malaysia, I was excited to hear something about Malaysia and hear Swami speaking Malay. Interesting to see, how much my being is connected to the language, cluture and country that I was exposed, most in my life.
Oh.. one nice tip from Swami's talk for me today was, when you do something, know what you are doing. It helps us to be aware. Example: when we eat, we know we are eating the whole time, not suddenly realize....hey the food is finished.

Radiating Enlightenment Process (REP)
Sept. 5th,2010; 7:00pm (Bidadi)
Just came out of another sitting with the Master (ashramites meeting). More and more I am realizing why living around the Master is emphasized so much. For me living around the Master is like life with 'Zen Stick'. Constantly He burns the ignorance in us. Even better for the people who work closely with Him. Consciously or unconsciously we will imbibe His enlightened and graceful verbal and body language. He will penetrate us. Without His physical presence we may learn the techniques for life solutions and growth. In His presence it's constant breakthrough in our awareness.
Actually, Swamiji just put ashramites in Radiate Enlightenment Process (REP). Yogic body, Vedic mind and Zen Living. Yesterday afternoon, Swami called all the ashramites to be out of Living Enlightenment Process. I was so happy because I was not interested in levitating or floating above the water and so on.
Now, He has put us in REP. It's living quality. It's amazing. I tend to share my passion being around the physical presence of the Master. Many times, many people misinterpret my sharing about this in their own ways. Just now, it was clear to me, when we are in the presence of the Master, there is no room to escape. In the Living Space of the Master, He penetrates into our consciousness all the time. And when we practice His teachings, His community (sangga) will support and help us towards Master's teaching. It's not the same when we are in the society when majority of them are not aware of it.
Another sweet experience today for me was 'the smell of Master's presence'. Yesterday, I happened to be in the LA e-Kalpataru in Bidadi (from the Master's end). Today I had a chance to speak to Ma Mahati in LA. She said she asked Swamiji for help in the kitchen. Swami replied "I will help you in the kitchen. You see, you will smell my presence. The smell around me when I give energy darshan". I had no clue His presence has particular smell. I was wondering what smell is that! But today I experienced it. After the meeting, Swami passed by me, such a sweet smell. My god....now, I know what He meant.
Let's not judge the Master's action with our perception / senses. Even people around us we always make wrong judgement, what more judging the Living Enlightened Master, not to mention the Incarnation. mmm....are we going to use our senses to judge them and make the mistake again and again....? Let's help each other to grow not the other way....

Unique Energy Darshan
Today in Living Enlightenment Process the fun part was 'Energy Darshan'. Swami first put us in a meditation with a sutra 'Conflict Free Life'.
Where ever there is life, there's no conflict;
where ever there is conflict, there's no life.
It was nice, a light experience. Then we received a very special and unique Energy Darshan. Where Swamiji came to each and every one of us (where we were sitting) and gave us energy darshan. Normally we go up to Him to the stage but this time He went to the participants and gave energy darshan to more than 100 LEP participants, at their spot. God....one should really experience this.
Then later Swami gave a discourse on Yoga Sutra. As usual very practical life solution talk.
