Raja Yoga meditation teaches us to connect with God as our father, teacher, and satguru. This connection is not limited to one relationship, but rather a multitude of relationships that we can establish with God. These relationships include Parmathma (Supreme Soul), Baba (Beloved Father), Bolo Nath (Innocent), Babulnath (Removes hurdles from our life), child, companion, combined, creator director, producer, and important actor of this drama. Dhobi (Washer man), Dharma Raja (King of righteousness), doer, Ishwaran, father, friend, God, gardener, grandpa, lover, mother, pathitha Pavan (Purifier of sins), sathguru, sarva shaktivan (All-powerful), surgeon, elder brother or sister, and teacher.
The purpose of establishing these relationships is to feel a deep sense of connection with God. When we view God as our father, we see him as someone who loves and cares for us unconditionally. When we view him as our teacher, we recognize him as someone who can guide us on the path to spiritual growth and enlightenment. When we see him as our satguru, we know that he is the ultimate source of knowledge and wisdom.
By connecting with God in these relationships, we reduce our dependence on physical relationships such as those we maintain with family members, friends, and colleagues. This doesn't mean that we stop loving or caring for these people, but rather that we recognize that our ultimate source of love and support comes from God.
When we have all relationships with God, our life becomes complete. We no longer feel a sense of lack or emptiness because we know that we are always connected to something greater than ourselves. This connection gives us a sense of purpose and meaning in life.
Furthermore, when we connect with God in various relationships, we reduce the expectations we have from others. This is because we recognize that God is the ultimate source of all our needs, and he will provide for us in his own way and time. This reduces the potential for disappointment and loss in our relationships with others.
In conclusion, Raja Yoga meditation teaches us to connect with God in various relationships, which helps us to reduce our dependence on physical relationships and expectations from others. By doing so, we can experience a sense of completeness, purpose, and meaning in life, knowing that we are always connected to something greater than ourselves.
