Overcome the Inertia

Meditación con Mataji Shaktiananda

29·04·2026

Become conscious of your breath and enjoy it.
Dwell in that sensation:
what you are, what you experience, what you feel.
Likewise, let thoughts flow freely,
so that you may know how to inhabit your consciousness,
and most importantly: so that you may want to.

So, breathe wanting to,
and let each breath go on responding,
responding to this life,
because your breath is the most powerful response
to your Being, the one that said: I want to live.
Say it firmly: I want to live.

Although sometimes you also ask yourself:
Is all this life?
Do not forget what it implies to have chosen to live,
and this breath, which is the reason.
Whenever it is said,
“Have reasons to live,”
and you sought them out, they’d even give them to you,
and now, knowing there are more than reasons
to live, much more,
that is when your breath takes on greater value,
more, because you’ve learned to breathe yourself better,
more consciously, and as it has been said:
knowing what and who breathes you.

What has this life bestowed upon you?
By breathing, open your memory a little,
be present, and what’s more,
you’ve been given the knowledge, the ability to be.

Do not let it seem like too little or too much,
by breathing, balance such richness:
knowing how to be, being able to be.

Breathe well, even if you question yourself.
Have I known how to be? Have I been able to be?
Breathe wanting to,
because that is where the force resides:
you want to, you want to, you want to.

And what we were talking about, and which is no longer hidden,
is so visible, so audible, so tangible.
It is that force so developed, so incremented,
so finely calculated,
that today seeks to decelerate you, to lead you to inertia.

Breathe serenely because you live it,
every detonation, every impact, the launches,
what flies overhead, the mechanisms,
that which has been created alongside and in the light
of your own intelligence.
Or do you believe your breath hasn’t fed all this?

And they call it progress, and they say evolution,
and the inertia grows. But understand well:
There is something stronger in you, something that wants to.
Despite all this, it wants to.
Against all this, it wants to.

The breath, undetainable, calm,
attentive, awakened, open.
You know everything,
everything was wrought in you, with you, and even by you.

Observe your breath,
it is minimal, sharp, it is solvent,
you are suspended and you know what you are doing:
you overcome inertia, perceive it.

Within you, everything seethes, you burn with life,
with love, with strength, because you will it.
Already being, you will it, because that longing
is the only thing that does not die.

Father of mine, beloved Being, unique Force,
Consciousness of mine, I am grateful for everything.
Keep me in your strength,
I am the answer of your Being and you of mine.
I want nothing more than to always be in your Being.

Breathe deeply and give thanks,
and commit yourself to acting in light and in goodness.
Do good.
