SPIRITUALITY IS LIKE BURSTING YOUR OWN BALLOON BEFORE TIME

Did you see that a balloon which initially, though, is full of air but in couple of days’ times, the same balloon is found to be deflated on its own, without your doing? This happens because slowly and gradually, air goes off the balloon. This is one way to deflate the balloon. The other way is that you can burst if off, on your own, instead of leaving it to deflate at its own pace. First, is what happens naturally and second is what you do to the balloon, before time. Spirituality is exactly like that, which is to burst your balloon by your own doing, before time. This body is nothing but a balloon, in which is caged consciousness or chetana which is our reality and reality of whatever we see around us. The whole existence is nothing but just a manifestation of the same consciousness only.

The one way which is the most common and also is the nature’s way is that, receding or declining of this chetana or energy, from this body, happens at its own pace, slowly and gradually. This method is what we commonly know, as settlement of prarbdha karma. Prarbdha is one installment which you are supposed to settle in this life. Life means prarbdha or destiny only. With settlement of prarbdha, your energy also recedes and a moment comes when energy recedes completely from this body, upon which the body drops, which we know as death. Natural death is always co-terminus with full settlement of prarbdha karma. You can no longer be in this body if there is nothing of your prarbdha karma is left for settlement. So, this nature’s way is similar to the balloon deflating, on its own, slowly and gradually.

Another way, is what we know as spiritual way and this way is for those who are in hurry; those who do not want to go nature’s way because nature’s way is very dicey and unpredictable one. This is for the simple reason that though you settle one installment of your karma (prarbdha) in this life but at the same time, you add lot more new karma, in this process of settlement. And this is how this journey becomes never-ending because on the one hand, though, you redeem some stock of your existing karma but at the same time you end up adding lot more new karma as well because of living life in unawareness. The journey, thus, keeps repeating itself and one does not know as for how many more lives this will continue happening and hence the spiritual way.

Spirituality is bursting your balloon in this life itself and that too for once and all. Spirituality means you do not want to leave this process in nature’s hands because of its unpredictability and instead want to take it in your hands. Spirituality is the only way which can help burst your balloon not only before time but for good. Being spiritual means, becoming aware of one’s reality i.e. energy or chetana and living life as energy only and not as a body-mind which is not our reality. Living life with awareness of one’s reality is transforming and this transformation of energy helps one burst his balloon in this life itself and thus put a full stop to this journey or avagaman. Meditation is awareness and thus helps transform your energy.

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...
