    I am extremely thankful to Baba for this divine guidance. I feel Baba’s presence is nearer to me than my own breath. Recently, the Blue Pearl has been dancing in my awareness in my morning meditations and throughout my daily life. So I am very grateful for the revelations and divine understandings about the Blue Pearl revealed by Baba’s words.

    After taking several Shaktipat Intensives with Baba, I started to regularly see the Blue Pearl. It would spontaneously appear right next to the faces of people I was talking to. Soon, I took this recurring experience for granted. But eventually it simply stopped occurring.

    As time passed, I came to the realization that these experiences had taken place solely through the Guru’s grace. Then, one day in meditation, I heard an inner voice inviting me to anchor myself in the Blue Pearl. As I contemplated that message, which had seemed to emanate from deep within myself, I was struck by the verb “anchor.” I looked it up and was taken by one of its meanings: “to settle oneself in a fixed place.”

    Contemplating that inner message has clearly illumined for me what I have come to believe is one of the main goals of my sadhana—to fully establish myself inside the Blue Pearl.

    Once, when I was reciting Shri Guru Gita, I experienced that I saw the Blue Pearl appear in front of me. It was an incredibly beautiful, tiny, bright blue light. I felt as if everything inside and around me stood still for a split second. The beauty and purity of that light imprinted itself deeply in my memory. Contemplating it gives me the strength to remember that I am not this body, but the pure light of love.

    When I was still a teenager, I took a course about the Blue Pearl with Baba. That evening, when I went home, I lay down on my bed and closed my eyes. I had an experience that I was staring at the Blue Pearl as it scintillated before me in profound, deep silence. Then, with a sound like an engine revving, as if about to enter warp speed, the Blue Pearl expanded outwards in all directions and drew me into its infinite, new universe.

    I treasure the vision I had of the tiny, bright Blue Pearl expanding and dancing. Recalling this memory and contemplating Baba’s teaching have helped me to understand that the Blue Pearl exists within me and leads me to experience light, joy, and love.

    By keeping the awareness of the Blue Pearl and focusing on my breath, I experience that I am able to remain in a state of connection to and harmony with the universe and with supreme Consciousness.

    I just read Baba’s explanation of the Blue Pearl, which I had never heard before. And, for the first time, I perceive what it truly represents. I am excited to contemplate this new understanding. The Siddha Yoga path is full of unending jewels.
     
    I am grateful to Gurumayi for the nurturing knowledge in the Siddha Yoga path website.

    I feel like I am hearing Baba’s words for the first time, even though I have heard them many times before. I will study and assimilate these words, so that I can realize that I am That, Consciousness, I am love.
     
    I am so grateful for the Siddha Yoga path and the great Gurus of this divine path!

    San Felipe, Mexico

    Nearly thirty years ago, when I was living alone in a house in Bali, I saw a picture in the house that I discovered later was of Baba Muktananda. I was inspired to start meditating every day, and in each session I saw a scintillating blue light in my third-eye region.
     
    Upon my return from Bali, I began to attend satsang at the Siddha Yoga Ashram in Oakland. The inner Blue Pearl has been a profound inspiration in my sadhana.

    This evening when I visited the website, I was feeling tired. I took a few deep breaths and focused on my breath. I took out my journal and wrote down Baba’s teaching. As I wrote, I felt very calm and quiet. My breath became calm and balanced. It lit up my face. All my tiredness, lethargy, and agitation of mind vanished. I felt only love and calmness of mind.
     
    When I finished writing, my mind was saturated with Baba ji’s words.
