WHO ARE YOU?

Are you the one who existed in deep sleep (dreamless sleep) last night or are you the one who is existing now in your waking hours? In your deep sleep, you were free from all worries but now in your waking state, you are unhappy and miserable. You knew nothing about struggle and conflict in your deep sleep but the same has suddenly appeared now in your waking state. Why? Are you the same person or two different persons – one who existed in deep sleep and another who is existing now? The answer, obviously, is that you are not two different persons but one and the same who not only existed in deep sleep but also the one who continue existing now. If you are the same person then why you are suddenly unhappy and miserable now? Why this unhappiness and misery did not exist for you in your deep sleep though you were very much alive and existed in your sleep? 

What has changed between the two states? What is the new which has now suddenly appeared with your waking that you are unhappy and miserable now? What is that which did not exist in your sleep or disappeared with your sleep that you were not unhappy in your deep sleep and yet you were alive and existed very much? Does not this mean that, your existence is independent of your two states? Is not there something in you which is unchanging and which continues to exist both in your sleep and your waking hours? Are not your suffering; unhappiness; happiness etc are different from your existence? Is that which appears and disappears, your reality or that which remains unchanging, your reality? 

That’s why the Self-enquiry and the question as ‘Who Am I’? Because finding an answer to this question will not only dispel your confusion but will also bring clarity as regards to your real state. In fact, this is the only question in the whole existence which is worth asking and worth pursuing an answer. Because one who finds an answer to this question, finds answers to all other questions in the existence.   

Finding an answer to this fundamental question is what seeking or spirituality is and realizing and abiding in that true state is what Self-realization is. A Self-realized person is one who has not only realized his true state but also abides in that state.     

Instead of wasting life in finding answers to so many other questions which are nothing but your mental nonsense, find an answer to this fundamental and most obvious question. An answer to this question will end all your woes; all your struggle and you will exist here, free of all worries in your waking hours too as you existed in your deep sleep. Meditation is a method which helps you find an answer to this fundamental question.

Now, the only difference between the two states is…….please read in the next post.

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...
