Offer your mind

26th May, 2010

Puja is all about lifting up energy. That’s it. It’s another way of keeping energy in the higher consciousness so that gradually, gradually, that’s where it is firm. Focusing the mind in positive ways lifts it up; the more often we do this, the easier it is to maintain.

Now the tree, the tree lifts energy up via the roots in the form of water and nutrients, and it brings energy down in photosynthesis, via light. It unites the energies from outside and inside.

When practising puja you offer your mind, because you are putting aside all else and allowing the puja to become the form of the mind.
