'Happiness'. - Ssy.org

You can lie down anywhere. Right now we have a lot of conditional self and this brings you down to the
level of Annamaya Kosha and then it is solidified. So, you have to have certain kind of food only. You get
sleep in certain places only, you can walk this way only. Everything is conditioned.
But as soon as you come for a Padyatra and start walking, the only thing that is in the mind is 'Om
Namah Shivaya, Om Namah Shivaya'. As you chant, 'Om Namah Shivaya or Om Namoh Bhagwate
Vasudevaya', your mind is totally clear. There is nothing in the head. It becomes totally clear, out of the
Dharana procedure.
In Samadhi, we clear the mind in a different way. In Dhyana and Dharana we clear it differently. But
now since you are all masters in Samadhi, then Dhyan and Dharana come very easily to you. But
assistance is required for Dharana.
Padyatra is important. During the Padyatra, as you walk along, the whole body becomes totally free.
What does this mean You don't have any more control, it is on its own and when the mind is no more
controlling your body, when the body is moving by itself, then you will be able to lie down
anywhere. It is so tired that any place is okay. You will just lie down, you won't require pillows,
cushions, nothing.
Very fantastic changes take place in your personality. You will know that you will be able to survive in
the world on very little, may be just two pairs of clothes. When you come for the Padyatra you will
realize that two pairs of clothes are enough.
You require very little food and that too you don't have to purchase. People in the villages and towns
will give you food, shelter and will look after you nicely, because this country is so fantastic that anybody
doing sadhana is looked after by the society.
Then you start to realize that you probably can spend your whole life doing Padyatra alone.
