Radhakrishna Dasaji was asked – after
receiving the Oneness Blessing, how can
we tell if we are progressing in the
process?
Here are some edited comments from his
reply;
The way to see how you are progressing
in the process is to see how you are
experiencing everything in your day to
day life – are you experiencing
everything as it is, without trying to
change it.
Look at your relationships –
relationships with your parents, in the
work place, your partner etc. Are you
experiencing things as they are? If
someone is angry at you, how do you
react? Does it upset you? Does it make
you feel uncomfortable? The process is
not becoming free of everything. It is
allowing yourself to experience whatever
is flowing through you, and feeling
comfortable with it.
The divine presence flows into you
through the Oneness Blessing. The
Oneness Blessing brings about a shift.
Naturally you see that every experience
regardless of what it is – it may be
anger or whatever else – is just an
experience, before you may have reacted
or tried to change the situation, but
now you see the same anger as beautiful
– it doesn’t bother you. This is how the
Oneness Blessing is working – this is
how you have changed.
This is all happening in a natural way.
For some it can happen quickly and for
others it may be a gradual thing. You
will be aware of the shifts, and this is
a sure way to see how you are
progressing.
It is a false concept or belief that
someone at a certain state of
consciousness, a state of Oneness for
example never experiences anger. Sri
Bhagavan says that humanity will have a
fully functional state of Oneness.
Anger when totally experienced can be
just as amazing as experiencing laughter
or incredible joy. When you truly
experience it – when it is not clouded
by emotions, guilt, frustration etc –
when it is happening as a natural
expression, anger can be expressed and
experienced in its pure form.
When you allow it to happen without the
emotions mentioned above, it can be
incredibly exhilarating. One minute you
could be really angry and expressing
yourself and the next minute you could
be in absolute bliss. It’s the most
amazing experience. The anger dissolves
into its nothingness. There is no
residue, no guilt, just pure joy in the
whole experience. You lighten up, you
see that you had an experience of anger,
and your thoughts are – so what!
