At the end of a busy day, after I read this teaching of Baba’s, I sat down to meditate. As I did so, I found myself caught up in a whirlwind of thoughts—conversations replaying, inner voices overlapping, scenes from the day unfolding—like a film playing behind my closed eyes.
Then, as I continued to breathe in and out while repeating the mantra, I remembered Baba’s words, which began to resonate within me. A gentle breeze of trust stirred within.
Gradually, glimpses of the Blue Pearl emerged in my consciousness. As my awareness expanded, I no longer felt separate from the light. In the stillness that followed, I was home. With each glimpse, my certainty grew that God, the Guru, and my own Self are one and the same.

My conviction about this teaching of Baba is immovable; he describes an inner space that I have accessed. As a result, my habit of trying to give reality and truth to the circumstances of my life has vanished.
My regular meditation practice is full of authenticity. I have faith that Baba’s words will come true for me.

I clearly remember hearing Baba say, with absolute conviction, that the mantra, the Self, and the Guru were true. I also recall I had no idea, at that time, of what Baba was actually referring to.
Twenty-five years later, I had a vision where I saw a six-inch blue crystal sphere containing the Blue Pearl. When I mentally placed this ball directly in front of me, I saw within it the planet Earth and the entire solar system, including Saturn, in full color.
Then, I felt a strong presence within me. I heard an inner voice telling me that an invincible and fearless being exists within me. Immediately, as I heard this, I had an inner vision where I saw Lord Shiva seated in the dark, in a meditation posture. I experienced that both he and I were together within my own body.
I then realized the truth of Baba’s words all those years ago. They had finally begun to become fully true for me through that exquisite experience of the Guru’s grace.

Recently, the Sadhana Circle that I am part of studied Baba’s teachings about the Blue Pearl on the Siddha Yoga path website. Shortly afterwards, during meditation, I decided to invoke the Blue Pearl and request its company. As I did so, I had an experience where I saw a tiny, blueish-white, round light, like a small star. I gazed at it for a short while, perhaps several seconds. I am very grateful for this experience, and I will continue to invoke the presence of the Blue Pearl. I will try to do so in creative ways, such as remembering the
nila-bindu in between my breaths, performing mantra repetition, offering
puja, as well as focusing on the awareness that the Blue Pearl is a form of my very own inner Self.

For me, Baba’s love for and generosity toward humanity seems to pour forth from his words. I feel as though he wishes to give me all that he himself attained.
May I be worthy of my Guru’s sacred intention for me.

I was very moved by this teaching of Baba. For years, I have been struggling to establish a regular meditation practice, and I have not felt I was succeeding. So, I pray now to Baba for his grace that meditation will become my favorite practice, and that I will look forward to sitting down and meditating every day. My wish is to have the perspective that I meditate not because I want to achieve something, but because I want to be in the presence of God, the Guru, and my own highest Self.

Baba’s words are filled with so much conviction. As I read and reread his words, they strengthen my faith in my own worthiness. I really understand that I
will become fully aware.
