Revelations by Swami Nityananda

Ask and it shall be yours! What are we asking? What are we seeking? Are we asking for divinity and grace, knowing that divinity and grace provide all, express themselves in and through all? Or we asking for miniscule expressions of abundance: a handful of peanuts, instead of the whole field, which will allow us to harvest more of everything than we could ever count? Let us seek the whole field of being, which is in and beyond all!

Heaven itself is ours, if we but ask. And the receiving of Heaven is the practice of a lifetime, making visible in our every thought, word, and action the grace of infinite Love that pours through us every moment we are in embodiment. We are never done shining. We are never done singing. We are never done sharing our adoration of the Bliss that we are. With our entire being, we bow to the divine that makes possible every step of our ongoing journey.


We are garbed in shining robes of divinity, by divinity, to help us recognize that we are divinity. All that we ever look upon is grace and beauty, the dance of infinite wonder and love. In the midst of this very world, this world filled with seeming chaos and turmoil, there is a garden, a garden of blessing and bliss. We make that garden visible every moment we choose kindness, wisdom, compassion, healing, service, gladness. As we do, everywhere we walk, flowers bloom.

We are called by the most irresistible power in the universe to remember ourselves. We are called to tend wounds in the midst of battlefields, even as we see our own and others’ wholeness. We are called to set free those who struggle, even as we know all are always boundless. We are called to walk hand in hand with all our sisters and brothers, knowing that oneness lifts us up, lifts everyone up. And all that is unfree falls away.

REVELATIONS by Swami Nityananda

Let us follow in the footsteps of that great teacher, who shows us that it is possible to rise above all human limitation. Let us allow to fall away from ourselves all that binds us: all fear, all barriers, all prejudice, arrogance, and unrighteousness. Let us rise into the fullest expression of the light of our being, which is one with the beloved Light of the universe. And so we allow all boulders to be rolled away, revealing the Light that is always present. We step forth from all that would entomb us. We find freedom in our total loving service to the Lord of all light and life. We adore that Light that arises within and guides us all, every step of our way.  


When we look with external vision, we may indeed miss what is standing right before us: divinity Itself, expressing through that divine teacher, and through all whom we encounter in any way! Let us cultivate inner sight, intuitive awareness, expanding our vision to see what is always present. Beloved Light of the universe, we hold fast always to infinite love. Thanks to divine grace, we share all that we have, all that we are. We give thanks for Your gifts blessing us in every moment. We open the eyes of the spirit, the eyes of the heart, to see Your divine face in all faces, including our own.  

O Lord, help us to know you with our entire beings. Help us to follow you on the path of true wisdom and humility, kindness and service. Help us to transform all the selfishness and anger and warring impulses within us, turning ever toward the light. Let our energies be integrated, healed, united in pure love on the path of peace and unity. Let us bathe all our shadowy impulses in full radiance, reveling in the wholeness that Thou art. Let us be your Supreme expression of truth and gladness.

Whatever seas are given us to cross in this life, we turn to you for guidance and succor, O Lord.  We know that you govern all seas, allowing us to move ever forward. You provide rafts in the form of mantra and meditation and sacred teachings. You beckon us from the farther shore. And as we cross that sea, you rush forward to meet and embrace us in the arms of infinite Love. So we sing to the Lord, we raise our voices in gladness and praise. We give thanks and exult in reverence and joy. We dance to the shining timbrels of the Lord.
