How to sit in Dhyanalinga

 How to sit in dhyanalinga to imbibe it completely 

Many of us when we visit the shire might not have been able to feel anything in the first go, it happened to me also -my first experience was that I had was I

 literally slept for the first  few minutes but when I came out I felt completely settled, which intrigued me a lot. trying to find how to keep myself in the best way to be able to grasp at least a bit of what this dhyanalinga is made me stumble upon a few things that sadhguru had to say. 

Should you perform any ritual?

The presence of Dhyanalinga is very powerful in the form of energy. Performing any

ritual would be absolutely meaningless in that kind of space,It is in the highest level of intensity that any form can be. If you intensify the energy beyond this, it's bound to become formless. When this

level of intensity and this kind of energy is present, performing a ritual would be meaningless because rituals are of those dimensions, which create a certain type of energy. Dhyanalinga is a complete system of energy that one can make use of on all the seven levels of life. In a space like this, rituals would be completely  out of place.

Do you have to believe in some god or anything?

When you go to the Dhyanalinga, just sit there -you don't have to believe or disbelieve

anything. It's as if a good dinner is being served in front of you. You're not overly

hungry nor do you dislike the food. Simply sit there, not trying to grab it. Just be

willing, open, not making any judgments about the food in front of you. You must sit in

front of the Dhyanalinga like that, not doing anything, but not putting your foot into

the food either. Sit there with a certain willingness and openness; then you will see that

this is not just a symbol. The Dhyanalinga is not just a stone standing there anymore.

You will see it is like a living being in every way.  He is somebody who doesn't have a physical, mental or karmic body, but only has a subtle  body - spiritual or etheric body – and he will touch you on that level.

Once you're touched at the level of your etheric body, you can't get rid of it.

Whether you live or die, it still goes with you no matter what kind of life you live, or how ignorantly

you live. The seed can't die; that's how it is put across. That's what an initiation means.

So What to do?

A simple way is just to gaze at the Dhyanalinga for a few minutes and then sit crossed legged with 

a slightly upturned face -eyes closed, not trying to visualize, not trying to imagine, not trying to bring it back into your memory - that will happen by itself. We want to imprint the form of the Dhyanalinga within yourself, into your energy system, because it's not a physical form, it's an energy form. The stone Linga that you see was

only used as scaffolding to create the energy form. It is the energy form that imprints

itself on your system. It functions from within. Once you allow this to happen, it's

always with you, guiding you, making things happen to you on deeper dimensions

within you. See, you're also made of the same stuff, but in you it is dormant, almost

absent. It is unable to find that level of intensity, because you are too stuck with your

karmic substances - your physical, your mental and your pranic bodies. If you raise

your pitch, you can also become like that, as intense and beautiful.

For one who is into any spiritual sadhana, it's extremely

useful. You can clearly experience this.

If you can make yourself into an Offering

When a person is in a state of offering, when he is becoming an offering he's most receptive.

To get the best out of the temple, one should approach it the same way one does his yogic practices, by offering himself. All yogic practices were created in such a way that the practices are performed as an offering to the Guru.  This is a device, a way that makes you open and receptive. It is based on this that in our tradition, bowing down and other kinds of processes have been created.Definitely, the best way to go into a temple is to go with a sense of offering; not of offering something, not of offering something in return for something else, just making yourself into an offering. It would definitely help a person to balance his system before he enters the temple. Right now, the brahmacharis who are there can assist people who wish to go through a process of balancing their system in doing a few minutes of nadi shuddhi before they enter the temple. The system then becomes more receptive for

what's available there.

Being in the sphere of the Dhyanalinga, being in such an intense field of energy is not a

time for one to make requests. Whatever you may want, whatever you may seek from

your mind is only a limited possibility. What's possible in this sphere is much bigger

than what you could ever think of. So, if you trust that the Divine is of a higher

intelligence than you, it's better to just make yourself an offering and allow the Divine

to function through you, rather than you deciding what should happen. That's the

reason why we're saying it's not a place of prayer. It's not a place for you to request, it's

not a place for you to suggest, it's not the place for you to in any way direct the course

of what should happen to you. Just allow it to happen to you; just allow the higher

intelligence to function through your system.
