YOUR THOUGHT (WORDS) IS YOUR INDIVIDUALITY

Consciousness, which is the reality of this existence, is pure energy. Consciousness is like a light which just shows up or illumines all that which comes within its sphere. Consciousness knows no words; knows no language. Consciousness is pure silence; pure stillness. It’s pure seeing or pure perception. Consciousness is pure awareness i.e. knowing without thinking.  

A thought on the other hand is nothing but words and words are ours because substance of a thought is not words but energy. Thought is essentially the same energy which has created everything else in this existence. The words which we give to this energy which we know as thoughts are ours. These words will be of that language which we learnt as a part of our social grooming. Thus, an Englishman will have thoughts in English; a French will have thoughts in his language. A Tamil person will have thoughts in Tamil language and so on. Not only but even at the same time, two persons of the same language, will give different words to their thoughts. 

All that which is not there in the consciousness is our doing and hence belong to the ego or individuality because ‘doing’ is ego. Consciousness is just ‘being’. Consciousness is pure presence. This ego or individuality is non-existent. It’s false or imaginary ‘I’. If you search within you will not find this false ‘I’. This false ‘I’ is our creation which is represented through our words which we know as thoughts. If you dive within, you will only find silence and stillness and not something which you can call as ‘I’. Consciousness has no sense of ‘I’. Similarly. this physical body too has no sense of ‘I’. The body does not say ‘I’m’ this body. Similarly, the consciousness too does not announce that ‘I’ am. It is we, through words, in our mind, say that I’m or I’m this body. ‘I’m’ or ‘I’m this body’ is just a thought. 

Thus, word or language is not the substance of a thought. Substance of a thought is the same energy. Words which we give to this energy is our doing. We impose words onto this energy. For example, you looked at something and you then mumbled within, oh! it is a tree. Tree is just a word which we learnt as a part of our social grooming. ‘Tree’ is just a thought. In reality, there is no such thing as tree. The tree does not say ‘I’m tree’. It is you who say that it is a tree. The same is true for everything else. There is no such thing as world because the world does not announce ‘I am the world’. We say this is the world. World exists in our mind. World is just a thought. 

Thus, the words which we give, all the time to everything else in this existence is what ego or individuality is. This noise in the form of thoughts or words is ours. Words or thoughts mean that your false sense of ‘I’ or individuality is operative. Your reality is not operative. Reality does not make noise. It simply absorbs all that which is there. When you look at, for example, a tree and at the same time if you remain silent within and do not give any words to it in your mind then you will know that your reality is operative which is pure perception. Consciousness is pure seeing which is just absorbing things as they are - without any words or thoughts. Looking at a tree or something else for that matter is pure seeing or pure perception but adding words such as tree etc is our doing. ‘Doing’ is ego. Consciousness is just ‘being’; just presence. 

Ego or individuality means ‘others’ –par ka chintan; par ka manan. Peace or silence is our original nature. Mind or thought is disturbance to this peace. Thus, we need to understand that mind or ego is the only obstacle to realizing our original nature. Hence, in order to realize our true identity or experience our reality what we need to do is to rest our individuality or ego. Resting individuality means we should stop giving words to the objects. When you do not give words to the energy then the mind or ego is extinguished at its source and thoughts are not born. Because once a thought is born then it will live its full course. You cannot help it. 

Thought is outward movement of energy. Outward movement is loss of energy. However, if you become aware and stop giving words to this energy then the same energy which otherwise would have moved out and dissipated, now stays within. It stays with the Source. Turning direction of energy from outward to inward is dissolution of ego. Hence if you want to dissolve your ego; kill your ego then you have to turn inward; remain focused within. Turning inward, in nutshell, is practicing silence - silence not of speech but of mind. Silence is your nature, your svavhava and ego or individuality or mind or words is vibhava. No-mind is your svabhava and mind is vibhava. Meditation is a method to turn inward. (अगला पोस्ट -बंधन और मुक्ति, ऊर्जा के संदर्भ में है, शरीर के संदर्भ में नहीं)

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...
