आध्यात्मिक होने का अर्थ है, समय से पहले अपने ग़ुब्बारे को फोड़ देना

आध्यात्मिक होने का अर्थ है , समय से पहले अपने ग़ुब्बारे को फोड़ देना । आपने देखा की , एक गुब्बारा जो शुरू में हवा से पूरा भरा हुआ होता है , वही ग़ुब्बारा कुछ समय के बाद स्वतः ही पिचक जाता है यानी की बिना कुछ किये उस ग़ुब्बारे की सारी हवा निकल जाती है। अब ऐसा इसलिए होता है क्योंकि समय के साथ उस ग़ुब्बारे की हवा भी धीरे धीरे रिसती है और एक समय आता है जब उसकी हवा पूरी निकल जाती है। अब यह एक तरीक़ा है ग़ुब्बारे की हवा के निकलने का। और , दूसरा तरीक़ा है की आप उस ग़ुब्बारे को स्वयं फोड़ दें , बजाय इसके की उसे समय के भरोसे पर छोड़ें। तो पहला तरीक़ा है , प्राकृतिक और दूसरा तरीक़ा है , आपके अपने प्रयासों से उसकी हवा को निकाल देना। अध्यात्म का मतलब भी कुछ ऐसा ही है। आध्यात्मिक होने का मतलब है समय से पहले अपने प्रयासों से इस शरीर रूपी ग़ुब्बारे को फोड़ कर इसकी हवा को निकाल देना। यह जो शरीर आप देखते हैं वह और कुछ नहीं बल्कि एक ग़ुब्बारा ही है जिसमें अस्तित्व की यह ऊर्जा यानी की चेतना क़ैद है , इस शरीर से बँधी हुई है। चेतना हमारी ही नहीं बल्कि जो भी यहाँ दिखाई देता है उस सभी की वास्तविकता है। अ...

Do you know, how the one time prince, by the name of Siddhartha later came to be known n worshipped as lord Buddha?

Do you know, how the one time prince, by the name of Siddhartha later came to be known n worshipped as lord Buddha? How from a common man, he came to be known as ‘Bhagwan’ or the Buddha? The answer is that this became possible because Siddhartha chose the path of rebellion. Please understand one thing that, to be spiritual or to become meditative is to become a rebel. Now, this rebellion is not against any person or institution on the outside but this rebellion is against what is happening or going on, on the outside.  So, being spiritual, means, not taking what’s happening or going on, as what it appears to be but deciding to find out the truth for oneself, experientially. To find out, if what appears on the face of it, is all or is there something beyond which what’s seen? So this is what prince Siddhartha did that he adopted the path of rebellion. He didn’t go by what his charioteer said to him but instead he decided to find it for himself by his own efforts, as what’s the trut...

क्या आप जानते है की, एक समय के राजकुमार, जिनका नाम सिद्धार्थ था, वे भगवान गौतम बुद्ध कैसे बने?

क्या आप जानते है की , एक समय के राजकुमार , जिनका नाम सिद्धार्थ था , वे भगवान गौतम बुद्ध कैसे बने ? यानी की एक सामान्य आदमी से , भगवान का दर्जा उन्होंने कैसे पाया ? तो उत्तर है की , ऐसा इसलिये संभव हुआ , क्योंकि , उन्होंने विद्रोह का रास्ता अपनाया। एक बात आप लोग जानिये की आध्यात्मिक होना , ध्यानी होना , विद्रोही होना है। अब यह विद्रोह बाहर किसी आदमी विशेष या किसी सत्ता के विरुद्ध नहीं है , बल्कि , यह विद्रोह , जो हमारी आँखों के सामने हो रहा है यानी की जो भी हमे दिखायी दे रहा है उसके विरुद्ध है।  तो आध्यात्मिक होने का मतलब है कि जो कुछ भी हो रहा है या माना जा रहा है उसको नहीं मानना , उसको नहीं स्वीकारना बल्कि उसके विरुद्ध जाना यानी की , यह तय करना की मैं इसे मानूँगा नहीं बल्कि स्वयं खोजूँगा यानी की ख़ुद अपने अनुभव से जानूँगा की असलियत क्या है ? क्या वही सच है जो चल रहा है , जो माना जा रहा है , जो दिखायी दे रहा है या उसके आगे और भी कुछ है ? राजकुमार सिद्धार्थ ने यही किया कि उन्होंने विद्रोह का रास्ता अपनाया , यानी की अपने सारथी की बातों को नहीं माना।जो दिखायी दिया या जो हो रहा है , उस...

DISSOLUTION OF THE MIND – HOW?

Peace is our original nature, because, we exist, in total peace, in our sleep. However, in our waking, we never know about peace. In our waking, we are never peaceful and are rather disturbed, because, mind is active. Mind is a disturbance, to our peace. Thought, is a disturbance to our peace, because, mind is not our original nature. In sleep, because, this mind disappears, for a while and hence, we exist in our original nature i.e. in complete peace.   Our reality is consciousness. So, the whole spirituality and spiritual practices, are about dissolution of this mind, into consciousness, so that you can always exist, in your original nature i.e. in total peace. Temporary disappearance of mind, in sleep, is really, not a solution. Because, post-waking up, this mind comes awake again and the same drama unfolds. The permanent solution, therefore, is total dissolution of this mind, in our waking i.e. into consciousness, as opposed, to disappearance, of the mind, for time being, in sl...

PHYSICALITY IS A DISTURBANCE TO YOUR PEACE AND THAT’S WHY THE SLEEP?

Did you know, that physical is a disturbance, to your peace? That’s why, in your waking, you are always disturbed and you go through many ups and downs. However, the fact, is that, the physical is, actually, not. Physical actually exists, only, in your mind and because of the mind. Because, mind is the seer, the cognisor, the experiencer. This mind, when sees, it only sees the physical, the body only, because, the mind can see or cognise only that which is physical. Mind can’t see or experience, that which is nonphysical. Mind, thus, is a disturbance. However, the fact, is that, mind, too, is not. Mind is imaginary, which exists in your imagination i.e. in your thoughts and by our thoughts only. A thought, though, has no reality, of its own but since you are used to the thoughts, and hence, the mind or thought has become a reality for you. As against this, in sleep, you exist in total peace. In sleep, you are completely still, silent and peaceful. Now, this is because, in sleep, t...

THE BODY IS. THE CONSCIOUSNESS IS. BUT THERE’S NO SUCH THING, AS BODY- CONSCIOUSNESS.

Please understand one thing, that the body is, the consciousness is. But there’s no such thing, as body-consciousness. This combination i.e. uniting this consciousness, this energy of the existence, with this body, is our making , which, in the yogic tradition, is also known as ahankara . Ahankara means identity . So, identification of this energy, with this body, is our doing, which we do in our minds and hence, body-consciousness, is just an idea, which exists, in our minds or imagination only and not in reality because, mind is not.   Therefore, there’s no such thing, as body-consciousness, or ahankara or identity. Of course, the body and the consciousness are there, as two independent realities. Now, when, I say, body is a reality, it only means that, it’s a temporary reality, because, this body is there, with you, for certain period of time. Consciousness, on the other hand, is there, all the time, uninterruptedly and hence, consciousness, is the ultimate reality, the only ...

DON’T THROW BACK, BECAUSE, ABSORPTION IS YOUR REAL NATURE.

Did you notice that, this existence never throws back, anything, but just absorbs all, that happens here? Why? Because, this existence is pure consciousness, nature of which, is awareness and awareness is absorbing. That’s the reason, that you don’t find any sign of all the happenings here, so far, because absorption, is the nature of this existence. The existence, is an absorber, which absorbs all, that happens, in its lap. The consciousness or the existence, just exists, as a being, as a presence, without any doing and that’s why, the term existence i.e. something, which simply exists. The existence just exists and has no doing or intention of its own. It, has no liking, disliking, judgement, opinion etc of its own. It has no choice or discretion of its own and that’s why, this existence, doesn’t react or resist anything or anyone but it just lets happen everything, without any judgement, without any reaction or resistance of its own. Now, the same consciousness, same awareness i...
