What is a Blessing? - 05.06.10

Student Question: We talk a lot about blessings, and sending blessings, but I’m always puzzled by, what exactly is a blessing?

“The entire universe is consciousness,” maintains Shunyamurti, the founder of the Sat Yoga Institute in Costa Rica. “And so what a blessing is, is the highest benevolent wave of conscious energy that is sent out so that consciousness that had been frozen in some form, that is a state that is alienated from its True Nature—as the very consciousness of God—will be restored to its awareness of its True Nature, and be able to thereby re-attain bliss, health, peace—all of the virtues and qualities of God-consciousness in its pure state.” Recorded on the evening of Thursday, May 6, 2010.
