IF YOU LIVE IN DARKNESS, THEN YOU WILL ALSO NEED A LAMP (DIYA)

Please know that, if you live in darkness then you will also need a lamp (diya). But, if you live in the light, then you, obviously, do not need a lamp. Now, you need to know and remember that your reality is consciousness and because consciousness is conscious or chetan by itself and that’s why. it is known as consciousness or chetana. Consciousness, thus, is light by itself and in itself, because consciousness is in the nature of illumination. This is like lighting a lamp. The light falls on objects around and shows up all, that is there. Similarly, consciousness shows up, all that is there, because consciousness is illumination or awareness itself. Consciousness, thus, knows all that is there, 

You are, thus, light by yourself and in yourself. Hence, if you live in the light of your consciousness then you will never need any other light (diya) or depend on any other source of light because consciousness is the ultimate light and source of all lights. That is what being religious is. Being religious is not, what we usually understand but being religious is to live, moment to moment, in the light of your consciousness, without the burden of your memory or mind. Being religious is to live in the original light of your awareness and not live in the reflected light of your mind. Mind has no light of its own but feeds and survives on the borrowed light of consciousness, like moon feeds and survives on the reflected light of the sun. Mind, thus, has no reality of its own. Hence, living by the mind or living by the reflected light of mind is living in darkness. 

Because, you are used to the ways of living in darkness i.e. by your mind and hence you suffer and then you cry for help or for the light. However, if you live here as a light, as consciousness, as awareness, which is your nature, then you do not have to look up to anyone for help; you do not have to go to any religious place, you do n’t have to pray to any god; you do not have to read any religious book or listen to, any religious discourse. This is, simply, for the reason that, you are awareness by yourself and awareness is the nature of this existence and reality of this existence. Awareness is the ultimate knower (gyata); the ultimate seer (drishta) and ultimate witness (sakshi). Nothing really exists and can exist and arise apart from this awareness. Even a god or goddess, too, happens and exists, within this awareness only. 

However, the problem with a human being is that, first he himself makes a prison around him and then he wants to be set free from this prison. First, he puts chains around him and then he wants to be released from these chains. It’s like a spider who himself first weaves a web around him and when he is caught within, he struggles to find a way out of this web. However, if you drop living by your mind; drop living by your past or memory and begin to live in and by your awareness, then you will exist here in total freedom; you will exist here as a free being i.e. free from all limitations and bondage. 

Hence, don’t create a web around you, so that you don’t have to struggle to get out of it. Don’t live in bondage, so that you don’t need to work for your freedom. Don’t live in imbalance (asantulan), so that you don’t need to make efforts to come back to balance (santulan)? You, are the light by yourself and hence live in the original light of your awareness and you will never need a lamp. Live in your nature and live as what you are and you will not even need meditation because meditation or awareness is your original nature itself. Because you have forgotten your svabhava, original nature and are used to living in vibhava or your mind or darkness and hence the need for meditation because meditation is nothing but just a reminder to you, to come back to your nature.

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...
