Don’t worry about the sleep. If you fall asleep accept that also. Don’t fight with it, don’t stop it. The Urja Dhyan meditation technique is particularly based on the receptivity and the sitting or the standing posture while practicing this meditation technique would reduce the receptivity. There continues to be a sort of resistance, a sort of fight with the existence at very subtle levels. Therefore, lying down while doing Urja meditation proves to be very useful as this posture makes us very receptive. The sitting posture makes us less receptive. You have to just do it and know it for yourself. It’s true that you won’t fall asleep when you are sitting but just remember that the receptivity will also not be that appropriate because you won’t be able to relax properly. There would be a sort of continued resistance with the energy. It is right that we might fall asleep if we lie down because the resistance is not there, but just remember that this sleep is also going to make you healthy. Therefore it is important that after healing
the chakras, the relaxation and self remembrance is also performed. Don’t worry about the sleep as this sleep is also not going to be an ordinary sleep. This will be a sort of yoga nidra: sleep in the state of meditation. This sleep will also produce deep healing effect. Therefore it is more beneficial to lie down as we become more receptive in that posture. Sitting or standing posture makes our inner being more aggressive and offensive. So do not hesitate to lie down as it is more beneficial.


A friend has asked - SAINT KABIR DAS SAYS –
THE DIVINE ELIXIR IS SHOWERING FROM THE SKY AND GOD’S SERVANT KABIR IS ALL DRENCHED IN IT. MA OSHO PRIYA ALSO SINGS – THE DIVINE ENERGY IS SHOWERING ON US. OUR BODY AND MIND ARE DRENCHED BY IT. KINDLY ELUCIDATE.


There’s nothing to understand in it. You have to know ‘IT’ and experience IT in samadhi. His grace is constantly showering everywhere. Whether we know it or not, whether we are aware of it or not, the grace is showering all the time. If we are passive, we become more receptive. Let’s try to understand it with the help of an example – If a man asks – “Will the sun rise if I open my windows?” No, the sun will not rise with the opening of our window. It has its own ways and system of rising. But our window is close; the sun rays will not be able to enter our room. We would remain closed in our darkness if we will not open our window. Therefore, only that much effort is required. Frankly speaking, it is actually a negative effort that we do not create any obstacle in letting the sun rays enter the room. Our effort will not make the sun light enter the room but our negative effort of opening the window, of removing the hindrance in between will become helpful in letting the sunlight enter the room. If we will not open the window, the sunlight will never be able to enter inside. The sun will keep on waiting outside and there will be darkness inside. So the effort is required only for that much. The obstacle which we have created, that obstacle has to be removed. And then we realize that the Divine Energy, His grace is constantly showering everywhere. Saint Kabir is absolutely right when he says – The Divine nectar is showering in the sky and Lord’s servant Kabir is all drenched in it.
