The practitioners at the Zonal ashram, Bengaluru had made arrangements on a grand scale to accommodate more than 5000 practitioners from nearby centers and those traveling with Daaji. After a very early morning breakfast at the Four Seasons hotel, Daaji reached the Zonal ashram and was welcomed warmly by all the practitioners who were eagerly waiting to see him. Daaji conducted Heartfulness meditation live at 9 am, and the audience tuned in to the yogic transmission that flows through every Heartfulness meditation session.

Daaji seemed joyful as he greeted the practitioners from Bengaluru and nearby areas. Their love and commitment to their Heartfulness practice resonated deeply with the spiritual energy of the gathering. He shared an interesting experience he had had with Babuji, where a simple conversation led to the topic of the gateway to the states of higher dimension and the key to such lofty states from where profound spiritual conditions emerge. These moments reminded practitioners that true inner transformation lies not in the analysis of words, but in absorbing the deeper Heartfulness meditation experience during sessions and nurturing those conditions.

Daaji emphasized that while spiritual conditions are easily bestowed by the Master, nurturing and retaining them is the true challenge. Drawing a parallel to seeds sowed in a field, he explained how spiritual growth is akin to planting seeds: consistent Heartfulness practices, such as daily meditation, Heartfulness cleaning, prayer, constant remembrance, and guided relaxation, provide the fertile soil conducive to the growth of the spiritual seed within. The practitioners were reminded that meditating with Daaji, whether in person or through a session on YouTube live with Daaji, is an opportunity to absorb this spiritual nourishment and that our journey toward peace and transformation continues beyond the session.

Daaji emphasized the profound concept of being in Constant Attentiveness to the inner state, also called Constant Remembrance in the Heartfulness tradition, urging the practitioners to embrace this state with an open heart. Rather than attempting to force this remembrance, Daaji suggested allowing it to naturally uplift and guide one from within, thus furthering one’s spiritual journey. He cautioned against the entrapments of old habits and emotional baggage, which often impede spiritual progress. Instead, he encouraged everyone to consciously cultivate new, positive habits that align with our spiritual aspirations.

Daaji poignantly reminded us that we can become the spiritual condition we seek to embody. In this light, he looked forward to the meditation at the Paramdham ashram in Bengaluru the following morning, emphasizing the collective energy and support that such gatherings provide.

During his time at the Zonal ashram, Daaji took a moment to rest and connect with guests and dignitaries, embodying the spirit of warmth and engagement. He then conducted one more meditation session for all and then continued his journey toward Paramdham ashram, arriving in the evening to embrace a day of rest and reflection. The balance between action and contemplation is the pillar of Heartfulness philosophy inviting us all to integrate the teachings of Heartfulness principles into our own lives.
