Ah, this is a classic passage describing the Blue Pearl meditation in the Bhagavan Nityananda tradition, often called the Blue Pearl or Neeleshwari experience, a mystical state of inner vision of the Absolute. Let’s break it down carefully.
1. The Blue Pearl (Neeleshwari)
Blue Pearl / Neeleshwari: a small, radiant, inner point of blue light perceived in deep meditation.
Symbolizes:
Chiti / Chitshakti – Consciousness itself
Kundalini – the spiritual energy rising in the body
Parashakti / the Absolute / God – ultimate reality
Guru / Soul / Abode of Peace – the personal and universal divine
Only pure and focused meditators can perceive it.
Key idea: The Blue Pearl is both the microcosm (individual consciousness) and the macrocosm (cosmos itself).
2. The Vision Within the Blue Pearl
Sri Gurudev describes seeing multiple layers of the divine inside the Blue Pearl:
Gurudev / Bhagawan Nityananda – the personal teacher, source of guidance.
Supreme Shiva – the cosmic, impersonal absolute.
His own form – realization that the self is not separate from the divine.
After this vision, everything merges back into the Blue Pearl, yet its identity remains luminous.
This reflects advaitic realization: non-duality, where all forms are expressions of one underlying consciousness (Chitshakti).
He perceives the universe itself as the play (Lila) of the Blue Light.
3. Symbolism in Vedic Terms
Sahasraksah Sahasrapat – “one with a thousand eyes and a thousand feet.”
Symbolizes omnipresence and omniscience.
The Blue Pearl is described as the seat of the all-seeing, all-pervading divine.
Sahasrara (crown chakra) – the Blue Pearl is visualized here, linking meditative ascent and awakening of Kundalini.
4. The Final Attainment (Turiya / Nirvikalpa)
Sri Gurudev’s meditation ends in a supreme vision of unity:
He constantly perceives the blue radiance in all beings.
Realizes immanence of Parashiva – God is within everything.
Sees the universe as luminous play (Lila) of Chitshakti.
Takeaway: The Blue Pearl meditation is both mystical and experiential—it’s a path to seeing the divine in oneself and the world, a practical realization of Vedantic non-duality.
5. Summary in Modern Terms
Blue Pearl = inner field of consciousness.
Sparkling blue light = awareness and Kundalini energy.
Vision of Guru, Shiva, and Self = layers of realization: personal, cosmic, and individual unity.
Merge back into Blue Pearl = oneness, the non-dual experience.
Perceiving blue light in everyone = seeing the divine in all beings (Bhakti + Advaita).
If you want, I can draw a step-by-step diagram of the Blue Pearl meditation process, showing the vision of Guru → Shiva → Self → universal perception of Chitshakti, which makes this mystical experience visually intuitive.
Do you want me to do that?
