CAN YOU RECALL YOUR LAST FLIGHT TO A DESTINATION?

Do you remember taking your last flight to a destination? Just few hours before leaving home, you thinking – whether, I will get a cab or not? Will the cab arrive in time or not? Yet, not only, you got a cab but the cab arrived in time too. Now, before leaving home, for airport – will I reach airport in time or not? Will, I miss my flight because of bad traffic of the city? Still, you arrived at the airport well in time. Finally, you sat in the aircraft and as the aircraft left parking bay for take-off and now the worst ever fear - will I reach safely to my destination? Will the plane crash and I will die? Will the plane be hijacked etc? And lo! You arrived safely at your destination. 

This is just one example, which I have quoted from our daily lives but just know, as how the mind has been playing games with you, all the time. If, you look back at your life so far, you will notice that this is how, your mind played games with you, for innumerable times, but how many times your fear, actually turned out to be true? Not many times. Nothing actually went wrong. So, this is how your mind or ego or your individuality keeps playing games with you all the time, as a result of which you end up living your life in suffering. Now, if you just relax and reflect back, then you will notice that though you remained disturbed and worried, in your mind, all through your journey - right from leaving for airport, until your arrival at your destination – and yet only that happened which was destined to and not the way you thought or feared. 

What, I am trying to say that, we need to know and remember one important thing, which, is that everything is predestined and only that which is bound or destined to happen will happen and that which is not destined, will never happen, That’s, why it is known as destiny. In fact, from all your daily happenings, you just need to take this learning that, only that happened, so far, which was destined and nothing more and nothing less. We, therefore, should learn to live in the trust of this existence. Living in the trust of this existence means, sitting in the bus and trusting the driver. If you trust the driver, he takes you to your destination and you enjoy your ride. Distrusting the driver means, you suffer your journey. Please know that, in any case, it is the existence which is the real driver, which is really driving this whole existence. It’s only, in our thoughts and imagination, that we think or assume that, ‘I am’ the driver. That’s your ego; your individuality or simply the mind. 

Now, let me ask you one question. Do you think, the human form, which you are in, right now, is your doing? Not at all. You reached to this stage of evolution, because you trusted this existence and you simply moved with the existence and the existence delivered you here. Now, if you show the same trust, the existence will deliver you, to your next destination like a driver takes you to your destination. You really do not have to do anything. Your doing, rather, is spoiling the game. Your mind is not helping in your evolution to the next stage but instead, taking you in rounds. However, if you just learn to doze off and relax, then, this existence will drop you, where you should be. That is what surrender is. Surrender means you surrender your individuality, your ego or your mind. That is living in trust of this existence is. 

Once, you drop your mind, you are one with this existence like the rest of the creation and the existence takes care of you, as it is taking care of the whole creation, because now, you too, are riding the same bus. Surrender means, you dozing off and enjoying your ride. Ego means you trying to become the driver and thus suffering your journey as you suffered your last flight to a destination and as you have been suffering all your rides. You becoming the driver means, you, though, sitting in the bus and yet carrying your luggage on your head and thus suffering your entire journey. 

However, trusting the existence, does not mean that you drop your doing or you give up your worldly duties. Not at all. It only means that you do what is needed but you do not get identified with your mind, because mind is not the reality. This existence is the reality. Hence learn to live in the trust of the existence and be free, from all sufferings. Meditation teaches you to live in trust of this existence, because existence is all.

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...
