Shibir - Distinguishing Truths
It is an amazing experience to come together in Satsang and strive on this spiritual journey together. Br. Minalben's presence, wisdom and smile was just amazing. She made such a deep subject so accessible, practical and applicable to all of us in our daily lives.
The weekend was uplifting, energising and eye opening. As we strive to move from gati to pragati, contemplating deeply on the 7 lakshan or defining characteristics of the soul are key in removing this delusion and immersing in the self. Br. Minalben's topic for the weekend was Letter 438 from Shrimad Rajchandra Vachanamrut in which Krupaludev writes a verse from Banarasidasji Maharaj Saheb in which he describes 7 defining characteristics or Lakhshans of the Soul.
“‘સમતા , રમતા , ઉરધતા , જ્ઞાયકતા , સુખભાસ ;
વેદકતા , ચૈતન્યતા , એ સબ જીવ વિલાસ’”
Minalben described each characteristic using the guiadance of both Param Pujya Bapuji and Bhaishree's explanations on this letter. She broke each characteristic into 3 key points of contemplation, how we can practically apply these contemplations in our daily lives and what benefits we get from their contemplation.
Shibir participants got the opportunity to meet Minalben in small intimate workshops throughout the weekend where she gave guidance on meditation, answered questions, clarified misunderstandings and gave us individual boosts of inspiration to strive forward.
Mumukshus completed 3 meditations each day as well as silent reflection and introspection.
The atmosphere was silent, yet vibrant, energising and immersing, joyous, awakening and so much more. As mumukshus we felt like a family seekers collectively supporting each other and inspiring one another on this tremendous journey. So wonderful.
