The Touch of God & Concentration

Param Pujya, His Holiness  "Swamiji Sri Selvam Siddhar"

This is a devotional   variant to the exercises on body sensations that you will find helpful if you have reservations about calling the body sensation exercises true prayer or contemplation. Repeat one of the body sensation exercises. Take some time to experience as many and as subtle sensations as you can in various parts of your body......Now make the REFLECTION: Every sensation I feel, no matter how light and subtle is the result of a bio-chemical reaction that could not exist except for God’s Almighty Power.... FEEL God’s power at work in the production of every single sensation.... Feel HIM touching you in each of those sensations that HE is producing.... Feel the touch of God in different parts of your body: rough, smooth, pleasurable, painful....The experience of God need not be something sensational or out of the ordinary, unless your devotion and Divine Love is developed. There is, no doubt, an experience of God that is different from the ordinary run of experiences that we are accustomed to: there is the deep silence that I spoke of earlier, the glowing darkness, the emptiness that brings fulfillment.

There are sudden, unaccountable flashes of Eternity or of the infinite   that comes to us when we least expect them, in the midst of our work. One needs to do so little, really, to experience God. All one needs to do is quieten   oneself, become still  and become aware of the feel of your hand. Beware of the sensations in your hand.... There you have God, living and working in you, touching you, intensely near you.... Feel HIM.... Experience HIM. Most of the devotees look upon an experience like this as far too pedestrian. Surely there is more to the experience of God than just the simple feel of the sensations of one’s right hand. This needs a long explanation to know the reality Yet, you are assured that these simple and humble exercises shall help you a lot to march towards that reality.We forget all too easily that one of the big lessons of incarnations is that God is found in the ordinary also. Do you wish to see God? Look at the fact next to you. You want to hear him? Listen to the cry of a baby, the loud laughter of a simple party, the wind rustling in the trees. Or just quieten yourself, become aware of the sensations in your body, sense HIS ALMIGHTY POWER at work in you and feel how near He is to you.

Concentration

(This is an exercise in pure awareness)

Choose one sense object for a basic object of attention. It is suggested that you choose either the sensations in one part of your body of your breathing or the sounds around you.Focus your attention on this object, but do so in such a way that if your attention shifts to something else you are immediately aware of the shift.

Let us suppose you have chosen for your basic object of attention your breathing. Well, then, concentrate on your breathing.... It is quite likely that after a while your attention will move to something else a thought, a sound, a feeling.... Now provided you are aware of this shift of attention to something else, this shift is not to be counted as a distraction. It is important, however, that you be aware of the shift while the shift is taking place or immediately after it has taken place. Count it a distraction only if you become aware of the shift long after it has taken place.Suppose you choose breathing as your basic object of attention. Then your exercise will possibly go something like this:

I am breathing.... I am breathing.... Now I am thinking.... thinking.... thinking.... Now I am listening to a sound.... listening.... listening.... Now I am irritated.... irritated. Now I feel bored.... bored.... bored...

In this exercise, the wandering of the mind is not considered a distraction provided you are aware that your attention is shifting to some other object.... Once you have become aware of this shift, stay with the new object (thinking, listening, feeling....) for a while, then return to the basic object of your attention (breathing).... your skill in self-awareness may become so great that you will not only become aware of the shift of your attention on to some object, but even of the desire to shift, the impulse in you to shift on to something else.

As when you want to move your hand you will first become conscious of the desire arising within you to move the hand, your consent to this desire, your carrying out of this desire, the very first stirring of your hand.... All of which activities are performed in an infinitesimal fraction of a second and so we find it impossible to distinguish one from the other until the silence and stillness within us has become almost total and our awareness has acquired razor edge sharpness. Self-awareness is a powerful means for increasing in love of God and of neighbor. The self-awareness heightens the love. The love, when it is genuine, fosters deeper self-awareness. Do not go in search of abstruse means for developing your self-awareness. Begin with humble things like the awareness of the feel of your body or awareness of the things around you and then more on to exercises like the ones which are suggested here and it won’t be long before you notice the fruits of peacefulness and love that heightened self-awareness brings with it.
