WHY DO YOU ALWAYS LIVE IN FEAR?

Why do you always live in fear – fear of death? Please know, that fear is always of death. All other fears are no different but just the offshoots of the same fundamental fear of death. 

Now, did you ever try to figure out, the reason as why this fear is? The reason is very simple. This fear exists in you because you know only the physical, you know only the body. Now, if you know only the body or the physical then for sure, you will always live your life in fear of death because death is of the body only. It is only the physical which is subject to destruction. Even the richest person on the earth, too, lives constantly in the fear of death. All the riches of the earth cannot, even, make him free from this fear. One always lives constantly in the fear of losing his possessions, including his body. 

Physical means bondage which is to exist in bounds or in a boundary. Body is a bondage because body means limited; body means boundary; and hence existing here in a boundary or in a body is to exist here in misery or suffering. We all suffer this bondage and yet we continue living in that suffering and make no serious efforts to go beyond this suffering. We do not try to find out that ‘something’ which is more than this body and beyond this body which never dies and is not subject to destruction but is always 'alive' and is always ‘as it is’. Instead, we just continue existing here as a body only and all our relations and our social dealings with others too are of the body only. We, thus, live here as a body and for the body only. This is the reason that, for us, with death, everything comes to an end. For us, with death, all seems to be over. 

This is a human tragedy. Why do I say, that, it is a tragedy? For two simple reasons - firstly, we all know it very well that “body is mortal and soul is immortal’. We heard; read and repeated this truth, thousands of times that sharir nashvar hai aur aatma amar hai and secondly, only a human being has the capability to know that which is beyond this body which other creatures do not have. All other creatures are just born as bodies; live and survive for bodies and die as bodies only because they simply do not have that intelligence to go beyond their bodily existence which a human being has. So, if we do not use this opportunity to know that dimension which is immortal or amar then it is really a big tragedy in the sense that this opportunity in this human form is wasted upon us. Also, despite we having the potential, if, we do not realize this possibility of knowing that dimension for which there is no suffering, no death, no bondage then our birth in this human form will go waste.

Thus, there is really nothing in the world which can make you fearless, which can make you live a fearless life. Even all the possessions and riches of the world cannot make you free of the fear of death. The only and only thing which can make you free of this fear is to use this opportunity in this human form and know and realize the truth i.e. to experientially know that dimension, which is beyond this body, which never dies and is never subject to the physical law of destruction. Meditation is a method which makes you aware of that dimension, for which there is no death and which is always alive; always aware and always ‘as it is’.

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...
