Blessing is Consciousness
Today, my message is: Blessings!
First thing, I give my unconditional blessings to all of you, to the whole world, and everything, including myself.
Blessing is an experience. Blessing yourself is the first step to bless the world. Blessing yourself means accepting you as you are, respecting you as you are, revering you as you are, and feeling that there is something worthy in you as you are. When you are
filled with bliss continuously, you bless yourself and bless the whole world.
Blessing has to be done to everything, because it is consciousness. It is not just an action, it is consciousness. It is not an action directed towards a person; it is a consciousness radiating toward everything!
The whole world is continuously blessed by a person who is in bliss. His very presence is a blessing, an eternal blessing. His words are a blessing, his actions are a blessing, and his very breathing is a blessing,
even though sometimes the blessing comes in a way you don't directly understand. Everything that happens in his presence is a blessing.
When you are in pure witnessing consciousness, anything that crosses you only awakens blessings. When the air crosses dust, dirt or drainage, it creates a bad smell. When the same air crosses the ripe old sandalwood tree, it creates the sandalwood smell. A confused, chaotic, unconscious, clutched, identifying mind is the dirt, dust, and drainage. A pure, radiating, unclutched inner space is the ripe sandalwood tree. Any breeze that blows through the sandalwood tree carries the smell of the sandalwood tree: the blessing. Same way, whatever crosses the witnessing consciousness will have the smell of a blessing.
That is why any food touched by him becomes prasada, consecrated food. Water touched by him becomes teertha, holy water. The place where he lives becomes kshetra, a temple. Idols touched by him become deities. And a person touched by him becomes enlightened.
Witnessing pure consciousness is like a sparsamani, a touchstone. Whatever the sparsamani touches becomes pure gold. In the same way, whatever pure witnessing consciousness touches becomes a blessing to the whole Cosmos.
There are some subjects about which you can't talk much. You only have to do it. Blessing is that kind of a subject. You can't talk much. You only have to do it. You only have to live it. Blessings!
