Surrender, Serve and enter samadhi
We integrate into another when we take up the cause of the other. This is called yoga which means union. When we shed all our independence and will and take up the pleasure of the supreme person as the only purpose of existance, then we unite into the supreme. We enter samadhi. The only way to enter the higher existance of the supreme person is by embracing his cause, his will, his desire as the purpose of life. How do I know what pleases him or what is his will, desire at every moment? The will is not like the dead person's will or power of attorney. It is a dynamic will which can change at every moment. So what is the medium thru which I can know the will of the supreme consciousness.
It is telecast thru another person who is in samadhi but has opened a interface into the material world - the Sri Guru. Total surrender to Sri Guru thinking him as non different from the supreme lord, will lead us to be invited into higher existance. In this dull dead world of matter one has to identify locations where the absolute is expressing its will. Based on the purity of our desire, paramatma will lead us to such a location.
How to empty of all desire, plans for the future? We have to fill our heart with the desires of Sri Guru and act putting all resources at the altar to satisfy that desire. Thru speaking the Gita, Sri Krishna emptied full of Arjuna's heart - the myriad of plans arjuna had all were reduced to ashes. We all have millions of plans for enjoyment - so called visions, mission of life. Sadhana yoga is the process of killing, nullifying these desires. At every moment I force my will into the universe and suffer. Instead of 'I' want, replace it with 'what is the Lord's desire?' for every moment. This is 'Kirtaniya sada harih'. Seeking and endevaouring to satisfy the Lord's senses - this is real bhakti yoga. The clue to entering higher nectarean life is the practice of this principle. Instead of forcing my will on the universe, I have to force the Lord's will on myself. Leaving behind all worries of protection and maintainance, giving up all sense of ownership, a vaisnava lives in the present and incessantly strives for the Lord's pleasure. He starts living in 'yoga maya' the moment he starts practising the intent of the sloka - 'anyabhilasita sunyam'. Yoga maya nurtures like a mother, developing his internal identity into adulthood.
