Universal Friendliness (Maitri)

Introduction

If we were to look to the fundamental reality, the soul within every creature is just like the soul within us. He who realizes this truth, genuinely develops a special sense of friendliness with every living beings of the universe, and we may call this delicate feeling universal friendliness. Dee  meditation (Samadhi) leads to the success in spiritual progress (Sadhana). 

amadhi can be attained by rightmeditation, and one important factor in the process of meditation is a spirit of equanimity towards all Souls (Jivas). The adverse feelings are, "These Jivas are my enemies, they infact pain on me, these are my adversaries, they insult me, these are not on my side," and so on. 

If an aspirant (Sadhaka) nourishes such feelings directly or indirectly, no feeling of friendliness can develop in him; and without a 3rm feeling of such friendliness, the mind cannot progress in the real thoughts of God or real meditation.

Author : Shri Atmanandji (Dr. Soneji)
