Satori and samadhi. So one day back in the day I was meditating. I meditated a lot. It’s a good practice.
I’m sitting there and then all the sudden everything just went normal. I can’t describe it anyway other than that. I was sitting with Swami Yogino and suddenly I hear him suddenly say, “There that’s Satori.”
And I’m like… “What?” That was nothing I mean it was like actually nothing. Just completely normal. Just for that moment, of course, because he interrupted me. Right? And then I was back in my head. But it stayed because it was so normal.
But it really struck me. It stuck with me that ‘that’ was Satori.
Samadhi is when that normal sticks in a way that it can’t go away.
The reason I’m telling this story is to relieve you of the striving. You know what I’m talking about. All that: opening my chakras, doing this and that, Eternal Bliss… blah blah blah.
The moment of normal is nothing. It’s way better than the false bliss that we are imagining. I listen to people talk about spirituality and it sounds like everybody’s imagining some kind of bliss that’s constantly the happiest happy that you can be.
But it’s actually the most relaxed normal, normal that you can be.
Sit with that.
Normal.
Simple.
An every day human being.
