It is believed that a drop of divine nectar or amrit can make one immortal. But what is the true amrit Swami wants us to strive for? Bhagawan lovingly explains to us today. Many of you are yearning to get nectar (amrit) from Me. But of what benefit is it merely to swallow a few drops of nectar created by Me? It is when the satwik (pure) quality wins and subdues the rajasik and the tamasik (passionate and ignorant) qualities in the battles that go on in every heart, that amrit arises therein! This amrit that confers immortality must be won through your own spiritual practices (Sadhana). People practising meditation are taught an exercise called urdhva-drishti (upward vision) in which the two eyes are directed upwards, to a point between the eyebrows. Urdhva means upward and drishti means look, so the term means, not a mere physical exercise, but a lifetime of effort to direct your mind to avoid and abstain from lower desires, and to uplift itself to nobler thoughts. Such an effort will win amrit, it will flow from the spring of the heart! – Divine Discourse, Jan 11, 1963w
