SPIRITUALITY IS LIKE "JAB JAGO TABHI SAVERA" – AS YOU WAKE UP, SO BEGINS THE DAY

There is no such thing as delay or missing something in spirituality. These things are always there in worldly matters as a result of which one could suffer some kind of loss too, such as opportunity loss; monetary loss etc. However, this is not the case with spirituality. 

Doors of spirituality are always open. Even with loss of age or advanced age, you do not lose anything. Not only but even your past track record too does not come in your way and cannot stop you from becoming spiritual. This may not be true with regard to the worldly matters because with passing age or missing opportunity, worldly doors may shut on you forever and consequent to that, there could be some irreversible loss as well but in spirituality, this is not the case. That’s the reason that even the hardened criminals like Arjun Mali and Angulimal could turn spiritual and become followers of Lord Mahavira and Gautama the Buddha respectively despite their hateful past. 

Why this is so? Because spirituality is nothing but just shifting of your focus or attention. If you are outwardly focused you are worldly because outward means the world or the others. But if the same focus is turned inward you become spiritual. Outward is physicality and inward is divine. Outward is movement which we see around us and inward is silence and stillness. Outward is periphery and inward is your Center. These are the only two possibilities, one could exist in i.e. outwardly focused (bahirmukha) and inwardly focused (antarmukha). There is no third possibility. So if you are just focused on the movement or that which is happening on the outside then you will always live as a worldly person but if you dare to shift the same focus from outward to inward, you will become a spiritual person, in no time.   

Also for turning spiritual you do not have to leave your home and go to the jungles. You do not even have to stop doing your worldly things. Not at all. Turning inward or turning spiritual means you continue living where you have been and continue doing what you have been but the only difference is that now your focus is always turned inward; you are always established in your interiority; you are always established in your svabhava which is silence and stillness, irrespective of what you do.       

Thus, in spirituality, you are always in time and never delayed and that’s why, spirituality, is like jab jago tabhi savera, as you wake up, so begins the day because one could turn spiritual anytime in his life. What is needed for turning spiritual is always there with you. Your inside or interiority is what divine or spirituality is and that is always with you. How can you lose or miss something that which is always with you? Yes, you may forget but can never lose your interiority. Remembrance is all that is needed. Forgetfulness is behoshi and remembrance is jagana. Forgetfulness is vibhava and remembrance is svavhava. Nothing else but remembrance is all that is needed for being spiritual. Hence, turn inward and be spiritual now, in this moment itself, irrespective of your age and your past. Mediation is turning inward.

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...
