00:00:00 - 00:30:00

I'm sorry for the confusion earlier. In this YouTube video, Daaji guides viewers through a live meditation session in the Heartfulness way every Sunday at 9 am IST. During the session, Daaji explains the importance of moving from thinking to feeling during meditation in order to expand consciousness. He provides examples of how women are more connected to their hearts and how meditation can bring awareness to weaknesses that need improvement. Daaji also addresses a question about idol worship and its role in meditation practice. He concludes the session by thanking organizations for participating in the yoga for unity program.

• 00:00:00 In this section, Daaji, the guide, delves deeper into the concept of consciousness and its purpose. He explains that the nature of the soul is perfect in itself, and the real goal of human life is to attain the highest level of consciousness. Consciousness is defined as the degree of our awareness, and it's made up of mind, intellect, and ego. Through meditation with the help of yogic transmission and prana, we begin with a suggestion that our heart is filled with the source of divine presence, and if this thought remains as such, we will be too busy with recitation, and it won't lead us to the desired state.
• 00:05:00 In this section, Daaji explains how during meditation, one must move from thinking to feeling in order to train the mind to orient more towards the heart. He further states that this journey of moving from the reactive mind to the responsive heart is unique, and can be achieved through the Heartfulness way of meditation and yogic transmission. Daaji provides an example of the difference between logical thinking and feeling, citing that women have an ability to feel things and come up with a solution that men may struggle to find due to the lack of connection with the heart.
• 00:10:00 In this section, Daaji discusses how the heartfulness way of meditation can help us move from thinking to feeling, which contributes to the expansion of consciousness. He also mentions that in the next session, he will take up the topic of the evolution of intellect as we practice yoga and other spiritual practices. The meditation session then continues with the instructions to focus on the heart and imagine divinity present in the heart while meditating.

• 00:20:00 In this section, Daaji explains the purpose of meditation in response to a question from a viewer. He quotes Lord Buddha who stated that through attaining Nirvana, he hasn't gained much but has lost a lot. Daaji explains that through meditation, one becomes aware of their weaknesses and may feel a sense of intense self-reflection. He likens this to a lady who needs to fix her makeup every time she sees herself in the mirror. Through meditation, we become aware of the things that need to be fixed and are given the opportunity to work on them.
• 00:25:00 In this section, Daaji explains that through meditation, all weaknesses come to the forefront and get highlighted, forcing individuals to work on them. The goal is to strive for infinite possibilities and continually improve oneself, as consciousness craves expansion and cannot tolerate grossness or burden. Daaji also addresses a question about whether idol worship can enhance one's meditative practice, to which he responds that the purpose is to develop an awareness of the presence of divinity in all things and progress towards a natural inclination towards divinity. Finally, he thanks various organizations for their participation in the yoga for unity program.
