Why “wake up SP wake up”?

 

Man is asleep. I am not referring to the ordinary sleep but the metaphysical sleep in which we all are deeply drowned. This sleep is in the form of what is commonly known as unconsciousness. Because of this unconsciousness I’m not aware of what I’m doing. I’m not where I’m, though physically present. I’m not with what I’m doing. For example I’m eating but my awareness (variously known as consciousness; witnessing or simply energy) which is real ‘me’ does not travel with my eating. Things are just happening in asleep or mechanically. This is true for all what I’m doing.

The real ‘me’ always remains busy somewhere else and this is how the life keeps happening in unawareness or unconsciousness. All the time I’m dreaming. This is true even when I’m alone by myself. Because dreams and sleep exist together. Dreaming means being pre-occupied with what is not there. Mind is illusory and non-existent because mind exists in time. Time means past and future. One is not with the reality or with his real self which is in the present. One is always dreaming or living in mind. Life lived in unconsciousness, life lived mechanically or instinctively is a life wasted. Because being instinctive or mechanical is animalistic. It’s not evolution but regression.   

The only reason we continue living in unconsciousness is that we never recognize and realize that living in unconsciousness is not normal or natural. Being natural or normal is to live by choice. And hence the only thing we need to do in order to come out of this metaphysical sleep or unconsciousness is to know and understand that I’m asleep; to realize that if I’m asleep, I can be awake also. This realization or understating on our part is one big step in the direction of de-automatizing our life. De-automatizing is being conscious i.e. doing everything out of awareness. And that’s what spirituality is all about which is to be aware of all what you do. No action (physical and mental) should go unaware or unnoticed. 

Hence the title of my blog – wakeupspwakeup. Through myself, I’m addressing all. The rare ones who dared and strived to come out of this metaphysical sleep and became spiritually awake are referred to as Buddhas or the enlightened ones. Enlightenment means one who is full of light or consciousness; one who is awake all the time.

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...

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...

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...
