Greetings everyone,
It is common for people to assume that by practicing meditation, they will become dispassionate and adopt a monastic lifestyle, leaving behind their family, spouse, and children to grow beards and mustaches. However, these are merely misconceptions and falsehoods.
It is true that during meditation, one experiences a sense of dispassion (Vairagya), but this does not mean that they need to give up everything. In fact, the essence of Vairagya lies in not being attached to anything. This realization occurs within oneself. It means understanding that one’s true identity is that of a soul, not just a girl or a boy, or a physical body. Therefore, when faced with the ups and downs of life, one does not sit and cry, but instead recognizes that it is all an illusion and practices detachment.
One can view birth and death as two sides of the same coin, and can equally accept both victory and defeat, honor and humiliation, without being affected by the curses or compliments of a spouse or partner. This is the understanding of the real truth.
With this understanding, one can live better and cherish their loved ones more fully without suffering any loss to oneself, one’s birth or family. This is the essence of the Maitreya teachings – learning to get closer to God, surrendering everything to Him, and celebrating life without getting stuck in suffering, thereby finding happiness within oneself.
These are the true teachings of Maha Maitreyanandi,
Sri Maitreya Nirvishaya Yoga Sadhana Peetha, B.Pet.
Let us chant in honor of Maitreya, Nirvishaya Yoga, and the entire universe.
Jai Maitreya!
Jai Nirvishay Yoga!
Jai Samasta Jagat!
