Conscious reference point – Towards a white victory

by maadivinebody | Feb 24, 2025 | Deeper Body Practices - Inner Practices

In life, we always need to have a referral point.  Only when we are fully united with the divine, and I guess most of us, or all of us, are quite far away from that reality, we need to have a referral point. Actually, we always have a referral point, either unconscious or habitual, or  borrowed from others, or society. But the beauty is to make this referral point conscious and to choose a referral point that is closest to one’s deepest aspiration, free, vast, high and pure.  For all those who really want to progress in deeper body work,  the yoga and its practice, alone needs to be the referral point.

This yoga sadhana cannot be something static. This is not something that we do for 20 or 60 minutes a day, and then squander our energies in random ways.  It’s about the way we live our life. It’s about the way we work. In our deeper body work sadhana, the practice of the deeper body yoga or the yoga of the cells alone needs to be the referral point. And what would that mean?  It would mean that we should be primarily thinking about this, reading about this, concentrating on something not clear yet, for example ‘What is subtle body?’ or ‘how to practice condensing and expansion of subtle matter’ or ‘ how to wait within our body to receive Delight pure’. Unfortunately for many of us our referral points are scattered here and there around some agendas at work, interactions with close family members, interactions with others and the like. We need to have one or a few deep, larger and all-encompassing reference point/s and in all the works, interactions and activities we do in our life, this reference point should be active and living. Now when we take the yogic sadhana of substance or cells of our body, many of us may feel that we are still getting only kinder-garden experiences and capacity to do the practice. Well still with resonance, joy and faith we can make this the very centre of our life and work and the rest follows by Grace. The beauty of this body-centred yogic sadhana is that this also leads to a clearer mind, purer and stronger vital and a calm capacity to creatively manifest.

Reflect how are you interacting with others. What are you doing? How and in what manner are you doing these? How are you working? While at a practical level, each area of your life will have its goals. So at the relationship level, we’ll have goals. At the work level, we’ll have some goals like, make money or make this product sell or get a new customer and stuff like that. That is great. These should be there.  But the underlying secret or mystical referral point always should be present in a conscious and living way no matter what we are doing on the outside.

There are two ways to look at it.  One is that no matter what we are doing on the outside we should be with our reference point. In case of deeper body work lovers, this would mean that they are in practice most of the time of the day. To do the practice is why they are living, breathing and working. They want to be skilled and excelling at work. They want to nurture loving relationships. And the basis of all this needs to be the reference point of conscious practice, running as a background all the time. The second option is even more powerful. We create work opportunities and relationship interactions governed by the needs of our reference point and in the case of deeper body work lovers, governed by the dictates of the sadhana as it unfolds with aspiration, daily practice and Grace.

Now while a major portion of our sadhana is to surrender or wait with practice for the Divine’s Grace and decent, we need to have faith in an integral victory like a white peacock. This is not a victory for a ego efforts. But this is a faith in victory in the practice itself that will certainly unfold over time in its fuller perfection and ease.

For this we need to go into the minute details of how we need to do things. In all that we do we need to look at, how do we do these things that at the practical level there is expertise, goodness and progress building up. However our inner eye at an underlying level, should look at every interaction, work and activity as a phenomenal opportunity to do our sadhana – to honour your reference point, to do the deeper body work and to do the yoga.

Keep a gentle reflection what should I do in my external life or how should I relate? How should I  work? How should I act so that it gives me the maximum time, maximum capacity to be able to do this sadhana? One tendency we need to be careful about is we should not allow laziness, tamas, to set in or a tendency for a less work or action. Less or more work there should be no preference. There should be no preference for less work. There should be no preference for overwork. What comes and what is needed is all taken as part of the sadhana to live the reference point or do the deeper work well.

Action:

We hope that post reading this article you move to its actions too:

1. Choose and clarify your reference point

2. Hold it and be in practice of it throughout day

3. When you forget and you will a 1000 times, always start back the practice a 1000 times with the fullest love and aspiration as if you are beginning for the first time ever.
