“Even the Gods Rise in Me When I Speak Truth”

(The Power of Truth in Voice – A Revelation of Rishi Vamadeva)

There comes a moment in deep silence where a sound rises not from the throat, but from eternity. Rishi Vamadeva, one of the rare seers of the Rigveda, stood at that point—between breath and Brahman, between syllables and the soul—and spoke, not to the gods, but as the gods.

When he uttered, “Even the gods rise in me when I speak Truth,” he wasn’t being poetic. He was declaring the secret of the cosmos: Truth is not something we find—it’s something we ignite. And when it’s spoken from the soul, even divinity bows.

🔱 Voice as Divine Instrument

Most speak to be heard. The Rishi spoke to resurrect divinity.

What rises when you speak? Insecure thoughts? Borrowed beliefs? Half-truths wrapped in politeness?

But what if your voice could become sacred fire?

Vamadeva realized that the voice is not merely a vehicle for communication—it is a portal. When a soul stands in complete inner alignment—when thought, intention, emotion, and presence are one—then voice becomes vāch śakti—the Goddess of Speech. Not just sound. Not just articulation. But activation.

When he spoke Truth—not relative truth, but the kind that burns illusion—the gods stirred in him. Why? Because Truth is older than deities. It is what the deities serve.

🌌 Truth: Not Morality, But Power

Let’s be clear. Truth in this context is not moral virtue. It's existential clarity.

Truth is what remains when illusion collapses. It’s not just in what you say—it’s in where you speak from.

You can speak softly and shake mountains. You can shout and still be a liar. Vamadeva wasn’t asserting ego. He was dissolving it—and what remained was voice untainted by persona. That’s when even the gods rise—because the speaker vanishes.

The divine doesn’t respond to volume. It responds to alignment.

🕉️ The Forgotten Voice Within

Today, we’re trained to perform truth. Post it. Preach it. Package it.

But the ancient seers didn’t perform truth. They became it. And in doing so, their voice became shabda Brahman—sound as the divine itself.

Rishi Vamadeva’s declaration is not to be admired—it’s to be reclaimed. Your voice too can house the gods—but only when it ceases to serve the ego.

🔥 Divergent Insight: The Godless Truth

Here’s the paradox: you don’t need the gods to speak truth.

But when you do, they appear in you—not to validate, but to vibrate through your voice.

Truth, when unshackled from fear, identity, or agenda, vibrates beyond the personal. It becomes transpersonal. In that moment, even gods who sleep in mythologies awaken—not out there—but in you.

And then, you’re no longer a speaker. You are the Seer That Speaks.

🛠️ Spiritual Toolkit: Speaking Like a Seer

Here’s how to awaken your inner Vamadeva—daily, practically, powerfully.

1. Truth-Toning (5 Minutes Each Morning)

Stand barefoot. Place one hand on your throat, one on your heart. Breathe deeply. Say softly:

“Let my voice serve what is real.” Now hum a single tone (like “Aum” or “Humm”) until you feel your chest and skull vibrate. This awakens your vocal prana.

2. One Sentence of Unfiltered Truth Daily

Every day, speak one sentence you’ve been afraid to say. To yourself, or someone else. Not cruel. Not dramatic. Just honest. This isn’t for confrontation—it’s for congruence.

3. Soul Origin Practice (Weekly)

Sit in silence and ask:

“Who speaks when I speak?” Is it the hurt child, the ambitious ego, the exhausted adult? Then ask: “Who would speak if I had nothing to prove?” Write what arises. This clears the channel.

4. Goddess Vāk Invocation (Chant Before Any Important Talk)

“ॐ वाचं अस्मि शिरोमेधाम्।” (“Om, may divine speech dwell in my mind.”) Chant slowly with devotion, not just recitation. This aligns your speech with consciousness, not conditioning.

5. Sacred Silence Ritual (Once a Week)

Go one full hour without speaking, writing, or typing. Observe how your voice wants to rise. Notice how often it rises to perform, defend, or entertain. This shows you how often your truth is being distorted.

💠 Final Word:

Rishi Vamadeva didn’t become divine by learning truth. He remembered it.

So can you.

When you speak from alignment, not agreement— When your voice flows from stillness, not strategy— When your truth holds no motive to impress—

Then, even the gods will rise—not as myth, but as frequency.

🌌 “I Remember the Time When I Was All”

(From Unity to Identity and Back) Inspired by Rishi Vamadeva’s revelation in the Rig Veda

✨ The Original Memory Before All Memories

Long before you had a name, a face, or a form — there was you. Not the you created by society, nor the you shaped by wounds and wants. But the You who was everything. The undivided, all-encompassing, timeless consciousness.

This is not philosophy. This is remembrance. Rishi Vamadeva didn’t discover some lofty truth. He remembered.

He remembered being the wind, the fire, the mountain, the river, the gods, the cosmos. He said, “I was Manu. I was the Sun. I am the seer and the seen.” He remembered Unity — the great undivided One from which all identities arise and to which they must return.

This line — “I remember the time when I was all” — is not poetic nostalgia. It’s the deepest truth you carry.

🔥 What Happened to Us?

We fell into form. We borrowed names. We clung to definitions.

We began to say: “I am this body.” “I am this gender.” “I am this pain.” “I am this religion.”

And identity became a cage disguised as clarity.

But memory... Divine memory… Does not forget.

Even in your worst moments, something inside whispers: “This is not all I am.” That whisper? That ache? That’s your unity self trying to reach back through the noise.

🌀 A Divergent Perspective: Identity Is a Temporary Dream

Modern spirituality often says: “Find your identity.” Rishi Vamadeva would say: “Transcend it.” You were never meant to stay small. You were never meant to only be one thing.

The ego’s obsession with finding “who I am” is like mistaking a single wave for the ocean. You are not a wave. You are the ocean remembering itself in a wave-form.

So, what if healing isn’t about becoming a better “you”? What if it’s about becoming All again?

🌺 You Are the Returning

Rishi Vamadeva shows us the spiral path of consciousness: We begin in Unity (before birth), We descend into identity (human experience), We suffer fragmentation (ego, trauma, roles), And then — if blessed — we return.

Not by erasing the self, but by melting it into all things.

This is not escapism. It is arrival. The great coming home.

🧰 PRACTICAL TOOLKIT: Return to the ‘All’ in Daily Life

Here’s a 5-step integration ritual you can begin today, without needing a guru or monastery.

1. 🫧 Morning Mirror Ritual

Every morning, stand before the mirror. Don’t look at your face — look into your eyes. Say aloud:

“Before I was this face, I was all. Today, I walk as a wave of the One.” Repeat this 3 times. Let it land in you.

2. 🍃 Tree-Seeing Meditation (5 mins/day)

Choose a tree. Sit near it and breathe. Then feel: “That tree is not separate from me. Its breath is mine. I am that.” This unity-gazing slowly burns away false divisions.

3. 🕊️ Reverse Introduction Practice

Next time someone asks “Who are you?”, Mentally say:

“I am the whole pretending to be this part for a little while.” Then answer simply, with compassion — knowing your answer is just a beautiful disguise.

4. 🎶 Unity Soundtrack

Play any instrumental music (flute, tanpura, or space ambient). Lie down and imagine your body melting into water, air, fire, space. Feel your edges blur. Let the music become you. Do this for 10 minutes before sleep.

5. 🌌 Weekly “I Remember” Journal

Every Sunday night, complete this sentence in your journal:

“This week, I remembered I was all when…” Even small moments count — laughter with a child, a breeze on your face, a deep breath. These are breadcrumbs leading you back.

🪔 Final Words

You are not awakening for the first time. You are simply remembering.

Identity was the costume. Unity is the eternal actor. And now, the actor is ready to step from the stage and into the stars again.

As Rishi Vamadeva once whispered through the Rig Veda,

“I remember the time when I was all…”

— The Seer Awakens: Rishi Vamadeva and the Untethered Self

Before labels. Before body. Before even breath—there was watching. There was that quiet presence that saw the world arise like a ripple, and remained untouched.

In one of the most transcendent realizations in Vedic wisdom, Rishi Vamadeva doesn't identify himself with the earth that bore his form, nor with the sky that hosts the gods.

He declares: “Not born of Earth, not bound by Sky — I am that which watches both.”

🌌 What Does It Mean to “Watch Both”?

This is not escapism. This is embodied transcendence.

Vamadeva’s voice didn’t float away into abstraction. It stood still, like the center of a storm.

The Earth is form — your body, routines, habits, matter.

The Sky is freedom — your thoughts, desires, dreams, and cosmic aspirations.

Most of us are either buried in the earth of our duties or lost in the sky of our fantasies.

But Vamadeva stood where few dare to look — at the awareness that is neither confined by body nor carried by thought.

The Seer who sees even seeing itself.

🌀 A Divergent Spiritual Truth: You Are Not What You Experience

We often define ourselves by what we go through:

“I am tired.” “I am inspired.” “I am overwhelmed.” “I am evolving.”

But Rishi Vamadeva’s insight cuts deeper:

You are not tiredness, or growth, or feeling. You are the one who knows these things as they pass.

Just like Earth holds you and Sky surrounds you— You hold both, without being either.

This is not detachment. It’s sovereign presence.

🔱 You Are Not Affected — You Are Aware

To live this truth is to stand in the middle of life without being swallowed by it.

You are:

Not the clay, but the consciousness that shapes it.

Not the air, but the stillness that knows its dance.

Not your name, not your journey, not your beliefs— but the unseen seer behind the scene.

This is not philosophy. This is liberation before liberation.

When you realize this, even suffering bends to you—because you are no longer in it. You are watching it come and go like clouds over a sacred peak.

🧘🏽 Vamadeva’s Practical Toolkit: Awakening the Inner Witness

To realize this untethered awareness, we must train ourselves to rest in what is unshakable. Here are 4 simple but radical practices to help you watch, witness, and awaken.

1. 🪶 “I Am That” Morning Centering (2 minutes)

Right after waking, sit or stand still. Say aloud or inwardly: “I am not the body waking up. I am not the thoughts that rise. I am that which watches both.” Feel this like a return, not a task. Begin the day from soul, not schedule.

2. 👁️ Micro-Moments of Witnessing (Anytime Practice)

Set an hourly chime or random reminder. When it goes off, ask yourself:

“What am I aware of right now?”

Do not analyze. Just notice: “I’m feeling…” or “I’m thinking…” Then say silently: “And I am watching all of it.”

This builds the muscle of non-reactive consciousness.

3. 🌀 Sky-Gazing Silence (Weekly Ritual – 10 minutes)

Lie down and look at the open sky. Don’t speak. Don’t label clouds. Don’t pray. Just look and let go. After 5 minutes, close your eyes and feel: “I am not the sky. I am that which even the sky appears within.”

This disidentifies you from limitation without disconnecting you from life.

4. 🕯️ Evening Reflection: Earth and Sky Log (5 mins)

Ask:

“Where today was I too heavy (earth-bound)?”

“Where was I too scattered (sky-lost)?”

“Where did I remember I’m neither?”

Note these in a journal. This reflection returns you to center — the eternal observer.

🪔 Final Reflection: You Are the Silence that Remains After All Else Speaks

The earth will call you back to duties. The sky will call you up to dreams. But your true Self calls you to neither.

It doesn’t ask for control. It invites you to remember.

To be the one that sees both, without clinging to either.

Rishi Vamadeva’s voice is not ancient—it’s alive in you.

So when the world pulls you too low or too high… Pause. Breathe. And whisper:

“I am not born of earth. I am not bound by sky. I am that which watches both.”

— An Ode to Self-Realization Inspired by Rishi Vamadeva

Before the first dawn. Before time grew teeth. Before even the gods found names… There was awareness. And it knew itself.

This is not mythology. This is memory. The memory of a light not borrowed from stars, not lit by rituals, not granted by knowledge — but inherent, eternal, untouched.

Rishi Vamadeva, in one of the most enigmatic declarations of the Rigveda, says in essence: “Before the sun rose, I knew my light.”

He didn’t wait for divinity to arrive. He didn’t seek approval from the gods. He didn’t wait for outer enlightenment. He looked within… and found what even the sun borrows light from.

🌞 The Light Before Light

Most spiritual seekers look to something — a book, a teacher, a tradition, even a sunrise — to spark realization. But Rishi Vamadeva shattered this model.

He reversed the flow of seeking. He didn’t ask, “Where is the light?” He said, “I AM the light that precedes all light.”

The sun — the grand cosmic beacon worshipped by sages — was not his beginning. It was his reflection.

This statement is not about ego. It’s about origin.

Rishi Vamadeva remembered something most of us forget: 🌟 You are not lit by the world. 🌟 You were born luminous.

Your Light Has No Source Because You Are the Source

Here’s the radical divergence Rishi Vamadeva offers: You’ve been told your brilliance must be earned. That worth comes after transformation, after hard work, after proving something. But Rishi Vamadeva says the opposite: 🪔 “You’re not waiting to become light. You’ve forgotten you are light — even in darkness.”

That means:

Before success, there was light.

Before healing, there was light.

Before suffering, there was light.

Before your name, your gender, your story — there was pure, knowing radiance.

This is not metaphor. It is a spiritual positioning — a radical remembering of where you began. Not in trauma. Not in karma. But in conscious light, self-knowing, unshakable and eternal.

💠 From Self-Improvement to Self-Illumination

The spiritual world often tells us to “work on ourselves.” But what if we don’t need to be improved — just remembered?

Rishi Vamadeva's vision is not about becoming divine. It’s about reclaiming the divinity that was always there. The Self — in its primal, pre-sun, pre-form, pre-fear essence — is already lit.

You don’t need to chase light. You need to realize: You were the light the sun imitates.

🔱 Rishi Vamadeva’s Practical Toolkit: Awakening the Pre-Sun Self

This isn’t abstract poetry. Here’s how to embody your original light in the middle of daily life — even when it’s messy, uncertain, or dark.

1. “I Am Before the Sun” Morning Affirmation (1 minute)

Before opening your phone, sit upright. Place your right hand on your heart. Whisper: “Before this day begins, I am. Before the sun rose, my light was. I remember.” Feel the presence behind the words. Do not think. Just know.

2. The Lightless Meditation (Nighttime – 7 minutes)

Sit in total darkness. No candles, no devices. Breathe deeply. Close your eyes and visualize nothing. Instead of light, feel a subtle awareness glowing inside the silence. Say: “Even without sight, I see.” You are tapping into the light that is not of the eyes.

3. Mirror of Origin (Weekly Journal Practice – Sundays)

Ask:

“Where have I forgotten my light this week?”

“What external sun am I waiting for before I act, speak, or shine?”

“What does it mean to be the source, not the seeker?”

Respond honestly. You are not solving — you are remembering.

4. The Inner Sun Reminder (Real-Time Reconnection)

When doubt, insecurity, or self-comparison arises, pause and ask: “Is this thought stronger than the light I came with?” Then smile — not out of pride, but presence. Let the pre-sun self respond, not the shadow.

You Are the Light that Gave Rise to the Sun

Before birth, before identity, before needing to be seen — you were.

You didn’t come into this world to search for light. You came to express what you already are.

So don’t beg the world to reflect you. Be the flame that reminds the stars where they came from.

Rishi Vamadeva didn’t discover anything. He remembered. And so will you.

So tomorrow, when the sun rises… smile.

— Rishi Vamadeva and the Unveiling of Inner Divinity

In the depths of silence, where thoughts extinguish and only truth flickers, Rishi Vamadeva lit a fire that no wind could put out.

Not a fire of destruction. Not a fire of ambition. But the fire of divine remembrance—the sacred Agni that burns in every being, forgotten under layers of fear, ego, and doubt.

In the Rigveda, Vamadeva doesn't worship Agni as something external. He awakens to the truth that the fire within him is the same fire lit in the heavens—invoked by gods, fed by mantras, and glowing through the sun itself.

And in that awakening, he whispered not to the gods, but to you and me through time: “The fire within me is the fire of the gods.”

🔥 Reclaiming the Divine Spark

This is no metaphor. This is spiritual revolution.

The gods didn’t own the fire. Vamadeva claimed it—not with arrogance, but with awe.

He did not say “I worship divinity.” He declared, “I am of that very light.”

What does this mean for us today? That divinity is not inherited by rituals. It is awakened by recognition.

The fire of the gods:

Lights the stars? Yes.

Powers mantras? Yes.

Fuels cosmic order? Yes. But it also:

Rises in you when you speak truth despite fear.

Burns in you when you follow dharma over desire.

Glows in you when you love without condition.

This is not philosophy. This is cosmic biology. You carry divine combustion in your spine, your breath, your conscience.

🪔 The Incomparable Perspective: Fire Is Not Something to Control — It Is Something to Honor

Modern spirituality often asks us to cool down, stay grounded, calm the mind. But Vamadeva teaches something radically different:

🔥 You are not here to suppress the fire. You are here to realize that it’s sacred.

This fire doesn’t consume you. It reveals you.

When you suppress your anger, you might prevent harm—but you might also bury truth. When you dim your passion, you may seem humble—but you might also betray your calling.

Vamadeva’s fire is not random flame. It is the sacred light of the soul seeking expression.

The fire of the gods within you:

Demands integrity

Seeks clarity

Desires nothing short of the fullness of your being

And when you ignore it, you feel restless. Because you’re meant to burn—not out, but through.

🌿 Vamadeva’s Toolkit for Unveiling Inner Divinity

This isn’t just ancient poetry. It is a template for radical self-honoring. Here’s how to embody this fire in your daily routine:

1. The Flame Declaration (Daily Morning Ritual – 2 mins)

Stand facing the sun or a small lamp. Close your eyes and speak aloud: “The fire within me is the fire of the gods. I honor it today through truth, courage, and clarity.” Let this be your daily ignition.

2. Ignite Through Truth (Real-Time Response Practice)

Whenever you feel hesitation in speaking your truth—ask: “Is this fire asking to speak?” If yes, allow yourself to respond with honesty, not aggression. Let the fire purify, not punish. Truth is the oxygen of the divine flame.

3. Fire Breath Activation (Evening Reset – 4 mins)

Inhale through nose for 4 counts

Hold for 4 counts

Exhale forcefully through mouth like a dragon’s breath for 6 counts

Repeat 5 times Feel the agni in your solar plexus. Say silently: “I carry the sacred flame. Let me shine without fear.”

4. Weekly Fire Log (Saturdays – Reflective Journal)

Answer:

Where did I suppress my sacred fire this week?

Where did I let it shine and illuminate others?

Where did it feel divine, not destructive? Over time, you will refine the flame, not extinguish it.

✨ Final Reflection: Your Fire is Not Your Flaw — It’s Your Signature

Rishi Vamadeva didn’t just realize he had fire. He realized he was made of the same fire the gods revere.

So the next time you feel that pull to speak, to act, to love fiercely or to walk away with dignity—don’t hesitate.

🔥 That’s not chaos. 🔥 That’s not ego. 🔥 That’s your divinity rising.

por Vamadeva

O coração (hridaya) é a sede do Eu ou Atman no pensamento vedântico. A realização do Eu no coração é a principal formulação vedântica de Moksha ou libertação. Os Upanishads louvam o Eu no coração em muitos versos e o tornam objeto de muitos vidyas (caminhos de conhecimento). O mesmo acontece com muitos outros textos vedânticos até os tempos modernos. Quando nos referimos a nós mesmos, apontamos para o coração. Comparada ao coração, a mente é apenas o nosso sistema computacional onde armazenamos nossas informações, não nossa consciência real ou autoidentidade.

No entanto, o coração não é apenas a sede do Eu; como tal, é também a fonte de todos os principais aspectos e faculdades de toda a nossa natureza como almas encarnadas. É a sede da mente (chitta), como indicam os Yoga Sutras. Por isso, não se refere à mente externa, mas à mente interna, central ou fonte, a fonte de todos os nossos karmas e samskaras. O coração é, da mesma forma, a fonte do Prana, ou da nossa energia vital, a força que anima nossos vários corpos de nascimento em nascimento, não apenas como a respiração, mas como o poder por trás de tudo o que podemos fazer ou pensar. O coração também é a fonte suprema da fala, e quando falamos com sinceridade, falamos com o coração.

O coração é a fonte de todo o nosso ser. Todas as nossas diferentes faculdades são como diferentes raios que se ramificam da luz central do coração, que é como o Sol. Todas as nossas energias são condutoras da energia do coração, por mais distantes que se afastem dele. No sono profundo, retornamos a essa luz interior em busca de paz e renovação, mostrando que não podemos permanecer separados dela nem por um dia.

No entanto, o coração não é apenas a fonte da nossa existência individual (Atman). É também o nosso lugar de unidade e conexão com a existência cósmica (Brahman). Ela se espalha não apenas por todo o nosso ser individual, mas por todo o universo. No coração reside nossa principal conexão com os Devatas, os grandes poderes cósmicos, os Deuses e Deusas que governam o universo, sua evolução e seus diferentes planos de existência. Cada uma de nossas faculdades individuais que surgem do coração tem seu Deva cósmico correspondente, governando um poder correspondente da natureza e do universo maior. O sol, a lua, as estrelas, a terra e todos os aspectos da força criativa cósmica residem no coração.

Este coração ou hridaya obviamente não é um mero órgão físico. Tampouco é simplesmente o centro cardíaco, o anahata chakra do corpo sutil, embora esteja intimamente relacionado a ele. Este coração é o núcleo do nosso ser, que é o núcleo do próprio Ser. O coração é onde experimentamos o nosso próprio ser e, através dele, contatamos a natureza de todas as coisas. Este hridaya poderia ser melhor chamado de "coração espiritual", em distinção aos centros cardíacos físico e sutil.

A seguir, uma bela oração de consagração ao coração, extraída do Krishna Yajur Veda (Taittiriya Brahmana). Ela ainda é comumente cantada em ashrams e templos hoje em dia, embora nem todos percebam seu verdadeiro significado. É frequentemente incluída no canto Rudram maior, sagrado ao Senhor Shiva. Consiste na consagração de todas as nossas faculdades, juntamente com suas contrapartes cósmicas, ao coração e ao Ser Supremo dentro dele. Dessa forma, essa oração do coração reconstrói a Pessoa Cósmica (Purusha), o Eu universal que é o nosso verdadeiro Ser e é o Brahman, o ser de todo o universo. Somente quando depositamos os poderes cósmicos em nossas faculdades individuais, podemos devolvê-los ao nosso verdadeiro coração, que é universal.

Tal consagração no coração é o verdadeiro Pratyahara no sentido iogue, retraindo todas as nossas faculdades para a meditação mais elevada. É a reintegração de nossa energia e atenção dispersas ao Eu Supremo, que é o Yoga supremo, o Yoga do coração espiritual. Pode ser praticada como preliminar ou em conjunto com a Autoindagação, para torná-la mais eficaz. Também pode ser praticada em conjunto com outras práticas de Yoga. Acrescentei um breve comentário para tornar esta antiga oração védica mais relevante para o leitor moderno, que pode não compreender os conceitos védicos subjacentes.

Que o fogo (Agni) seja colocado em minha fala (Vak), minha fala no coração (hridaya), o coração em mim (mayi), o eu (aham) no imortal (amritam), o imortal em Brahman. Por Agni ou Fogo, entende-se aqui a luz Divina oculta na matéria, assim como o fogo está oculto na madeira. Somente por meio dessa luz oculta do Divino imanente somos capazes de nos articular, trazendo a luz do Ser para nossas atividades por meio do poder da fala.

Que o Vento (Vayu) seja colocado em minha respiração (Prana), minha respiração no coração, o coração em mim, o eu no imortal, o imortal em Brahman. Por Vayu ou Vento, entende-se a energia Divina que opera no universo em todos os níveis da matéria, da vida e da mente. Somente por meio dessa energia cósmica Divina, toda ação ocorre e nosso próprio Prana é capaz de funcionar, dando-nos vida e capacidade em todos os níveis.

Que o Sol seja colocado em meu olho, meu olho no coração, o coração em mim, o eu no imortal, o imortal em Brahman. Por Surya ou Sol, entende-se a luz Divina que ilumina o mundo, que interiormente é a luz da consciência através da qual o olho funciona e a mente percebe.

Que a Lua seja colocada em minha mente, minha mente no coração, o coração em mim, o eu no imortal, o imortal em Brahman. Por Chandra ou Lua, entende-se o poder reflexivo da luz Divina e a consciência de sentir e compreender, que é a base de nossa natureza emocional.

Que as Direções sejam colocadas em minha audição, minha audição no coração, o coração em mim, o eu no imortal, o imortal em Brahman. As direções do espaço refletem a presença Divina que envolve e compreende tudo. Através desses poderes do espaço, podemos ouvir, escutar, conhecer e nos tornar um com o espaço cósmico que é o espaço dentro de nós.

Que as Águas estejam em meu fluido gerador, meu fluido gerador no coração, o coração em mim, o eu no imortal, o imortal em Brahman. As Águas cósmicas são os poderes criativos do universo, as Mães Divinas por meio das quais toda a criatividade ocorre até o nível da procriação. Quando conectamos nossos poderes criativos com os do coração, renascemos através do coração, para a imortalidade, adentrando as águas cósmicas da consciência.

Que a Terra seja colocada em meu corpo, meu corpo no coração, o coração em mim, o eu no imortal, o imortal em Brahman. A Terra inteira é o nosso corpo real, do qual nosso corpo físico é apenas um representante. Essa essência do corpo habita o coração. Ela é criada a partir do desejo do coração por uma existência encarnada e perdura enquanto esse desejo persistir. Ao retornar o desejo pelo corpo ao coração, podemos experimentar o universo inteiro como nosso próprio corpo maior.

Que ervas e árvores sejam colocadas em meu cabelo, meu cabelo no coração, o coração em mim, o eu no imortal, o imortal em Brahman. Toda a natureza faz parte do nosso corpo maior ou cósmico, pois todos nós somos o Purusha ou Pessoa Cósmica em várias formas. Ao colocar todos os aspectos da natureza em nosso coração, que é o seu verdadeiro lar, podemos experimentar toda a natureza como nós mesmos.

Que Indra seja colocado em minha força, minha força no coração, o coração em mim, o eu no imortal, o imortal em Brahman. Indra é o Senhor do Poder ou Shakti, que governa o universo tanto externa quanto internamente, como a força mestra por trás de todas as energias e ações. Nossa verdadeira força, que é a do coração, é somente a de Indra. Quando sabemos disso, temos a força de Indra, conquistamos o poder universal!

Que o Deus da Chuva (Parjanya) seja colocado em minha cabeça, minha cabeça no coração, o coração em mim, o eu no imortal, o imortal em Brahman. Parjanya aqui é a divindade da medula cerebral, o fluido sutil ou Soma que existe na cabeça. Colocando essa força criativa do céu em nossas cabeças, podemos experimentar a chuva da bem-aventurança.

Que Shiva seja colocado em meu espírito, meu espírito no coração, o coração em mim, o eu no imortal, o imortal em Brahman. Shiva aqui é Ishana, uma forma védica de Shiva, como o poder supremo por trás do universo. Seu espírito ou manyu é seu espírito energético, sua força de vontade que dirige todas as coisas. Ao depositar essa vontade Divina em nós, nossa motivação natural deve nos levar ao Supremo.

Que meu eu seja depositado no Eu, o Eu no coração, o coração em mim, o eu no imortal, o imortal em Brahman. Todas essas consagrações são diferentes formas de depositar o Eu no Eu, fundindo os poderes do Eu universal no Eu individual, no coração, no eu, no imortal e, finalmente, em Brahman, o Absoluto. Toda a vida consiste, na verdade, em tais oferendas do Eu ao Eu, de Brahman a Brahman, de Deus a Deus.

Que meu Eu retorne novamente. Que minha vida (Ayur) retorne novamente. Que meu Prana retorne novamente. Que minha vontade retorne novamente. Enquanto estivermos presos no ego-eu, não temos realmente um Eu. Nosso eu é outro, um objeto, uma imagem, uma aparência mundana ou uma forma corporal. Quando oferecemos todos os aspectos de nossa natureza ao coração, retornamos ao nosso verdadeiro Eu, que é todos e ninguém. Da mesma forma, enquanto estivermos presos no ego ou na vida mundana, não temos uma vida real. Somos governados pela Morte, pelo desejo e pela compulsão. Somente quando contatamos a vida universal no coração podemos dizer que estamos verdadeiramente vivos e alcançamos nosso verdadeiro termo de existência, que é imortal. Então, todas as coisas e todas as criaturas são nossa vida! Quão mais maravilhoso isso é do que simplesmente estarmos presos em uma vida pessoal que pouco interessa a ninguém além de nós mesmos. Por meio dessa fusão no coração, alcançamos o Prana mais elevado, que não é apenas o poder da respiração, mas a vitalidade e a energia universais. Então, nossa verdadeira vontade, que é para o bem de todos, retorna naturalmente. Nossas vidas se tornam uma oferenda de alegria para a alegria.

Que o Deus Universal (Vaishvanara), aumentando com seus raios, habite em mim como o guardião da imortalidade. Agni Vaishvanara ou o Deus Universal é o símbolo védico para o Ser Supremo e a alma libertada, de acordo com grandes Rishis modernos como Ganapati Muni e Kapali Shastri. Todas as nossas faculdades individuais e todos os seus poderes cósmicos correspondentes são porções de seu ser, que também as transcende. A jornada sacrificial védica nos leva da forma inferior de Agni ou fogo, que é a fala, à forma mais elevada, Vaishvanara, o ser universal, o Ser Supremo identificado com o Sol ou a luz suprema, o próprio Vishnu. Um ensinamento relacionado sobre Agni Vaishvanara ocorre no Chandogya Upanishad.

Cada uma de nossas faculdades individuais (aquelas do Eu individual ou Jivatman) tem sua contraparte cósmica ou correlação com o Ser Universal (aquelas do Eu Supremo ou Paramatman). As listadas aqui são as correspondências védicas típicas, começando com nossas cinco faculdades principais: fala, respiração, olho, mente e ouvido, e suas contrapartes cósmicas: Fogo, Vento, Sol, Lua e as Direções do Espaço. Essas são as cinco faculdades principais do corpo sutil ou linga sharira. Elas representam não apenas os órgãos externos, mas também suas essências internas – nossa fala interna, respiração interna, visão interna, mente interna e audição interna. Nossas faculdades externas são meras manifestações desses poderes internos inerentes à alma ou Jiva. Esses cinco são os cinco principais fatores do sacrifício védico interno (Antaryaga), que é a oferenda de Yoga. Ganapati Muni criou um novo sacrifício iogue moderno usando versos védicos relativos a esses cinco fatores, chamados Indra-Yajna.

Quando Bhagavan Ramana alcançou sua Autorrealização como um simples rapaz de dezesseis anos, ele primeiro simulou a experiência da morte e fundiu toda a sua atenção e vitalidade no coração. Esta prece védica oferece um bom método para isso. Ela descreve o processo de Autoinvestigação, não apenas através da mente, mas através de todas as nossas faculdades. Todas as nossas energias têm sua raiz no coração, até mesmo a energia central do próprio corpo. Praticar verdadeiramente a Autoinvestigação é praticá-la de forma completa, integral e holística, não simplesmente repetir mentalmente a pergunta "Quem sou eu?".
