IF YOU WANT TO BE AWAKE IN YOUR SLEEP, THEN BE ASLEEP IN YOUR WAKING HOURS

If you can enter your sleep, in awareness and can also maintain the same awareness, in your sleep, then please know, that you have come full circle, which is that you are awake in metaphysical sense, which we traditionally, know, as awakening or ‘Self-realization’. That is the reason that only a realized being, can enter and maintain awareness in sleep, because he has become total awareness, he as realized his true identity and he thus always exist in the company of the 'Self' only. That’s why it is said about a yogi, that he is awake, even in his sleep. We cannot enter sleep in awareness because we are yet total unconsciousness and hence, we enter sleep only in unconsciousness. That is the reason that, before sleep we fall unconscious and we never ever remember or come to know, as when we entered into our sleep. 

Now, sleep though is unconsciousness and yet is our natural state or our reality because in sleep, nothing else but the reality alone exists. Nothing else exists in your experience and yet you remain alive in your sleep and that is because of the presence of that which IS. However, you are unable to experience this natural state in which you exist, for the reason that, sleep is unconsciousness. So, if you, too, want to come to a full circle, like a yogi, and want to stay awake in your sleep, so as to experience, your natural state, then what you need to do is to start practicing sleep, in your waking hours. You need to practice, mimicking your sleep, in your waking hours, meaning, that you need to learn to exist in your waking hours, as if you are asleep. However, this is not like your ordinary sleep, because your ordinary sleep is total unconsciousness. What you really need to practice is, conscious sleep, in your waking hours, i.e. you are asleep and yet you are fully awake and conscious within – jagtet hue sona 

Thus, conscious sleep, as opposed to unconscious sleep, is with one fundamental and big difference and that difference is, awareness. Awareness is the only difference between sleep and meditation. Absence of awareness is sleep or unconsciousness and presence of awareness is meditation or consciousness. That’s how, the closed eye practice which we know, as meditation began and began in our waking when a bit conscious. Meditation is nothing but practicing, conscious sleep in your waking. Meditation is mimicking your sleep, with awareness in your waking. Mimicking sleep means, you are asleep at the level of your body and mind, but within you are fully awake, fully aware and fully conscious.

As the practice grows i.e. as you become more and more aware within, this undercurrent of awareness stretches beyond your usual hours of meditation. With sustained practice, finally, this awareness also spills, into your sleep as well and you are, thus, able to enter your sleep, in awareness and be also able to maintain the same awareness in your sleep, too. This is coming, full circle because if you can enter your sleep, in awareness then you will also be able to enter your death in awareness. Entering death in awareness is end of this physicality, once and for all which we know as moksha or mukti or nirvana.

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...
