The Journey Begins Within
Moving into a deep contemplation, Baba Ji expressed sadness over the gap between humanity’s divine potential and the way people often live. This feeling was shared in a sweet heart-aching poem for the world:
One of the central messages of the 7th International HKL Conference came from Baba Ji, who travelled from India to address participants on the nature of Humility, Kindness, and Love.
Opening with a call for participants to “come home,” Baba Ji described the HKL movement as an invitation to rediscover the divine presence within every human being. He shared that every person carries the divine light of the Creator, but people often become disconnected from their own being while remaining focused on the outside world.
The Experience of Oneness
While participants were invited to remain at their dancing hearts, Baba Ji shared the work of psychiatrist and neuroscientist Dr. Andrew Newberg, who has studied the neurological experiences associated prayer and meditation.
with The boundary between oneself and other people, nature, the universe and the divine can disappear.
For Baba Ji, this scientific dis cussion reflected something he had been sharing from personal experience for many years: that we are one. He emphasized that such a state cannot simply be understood intellectually. Instead, “it is to be experienced.”
Baba Ji then connected this experience of unity with meditation, describing an inner journey toward the heart and the discovery of Humility, Kindness, and Love as an inherent part of human consciousness. As Newberg describes it, this is “the feeling of being connected to everything, being one with God.”
Whatever we speak reflects the fragrance of our heart area
Our heart area is a glorious garden of Humility, Kindness, and Love
My creator blessed us with a sweet and kind tongue
That very tongue has become tasteless and bitter today
Oh my mother, there is no other reason for my sadness
My whole being keeps hurting day and night
In heredity I was blessed with a divine ladder, called the ladder of honour (within us)
That ladder was the vehicle for the complete transformation of my consciousness
Rising to that highest point via that ladder, I was to dissolve in truth
Some being from within kept sending me reminders of my above purpose through the hands of my breaths, and I never listened to his loving reminders, I never heard his reminders
Oh my mother, this regret is consuming me every moment
I am being ruled by my ego, greed, lust, and anger
I myself am a painful sore and keep giving pains to others
I myself was to become fragrant with Humility, Kindness, and Love and was to assist others to become fragrances of the same
I was to dethrone the rule of my mind and install the rule of humility within
Neither I could become, nor helped anyone else to become that tender light of Humility, Kindness, and Love
Oh my mother, this regret is consuming me every moment
Baba Ji described Newberg’s concept of “unitary being” as the experience of feeling connected to everything. During deep prayer or meditation, the part of the brain responsible for self-awareness shuts down.
