SOMEONE DIED IN THE FAMILY AND….…..

…….you went on to visit your Guru. When I say Guru, I mean, by the one who, has become aware of the dimension which, we know as spiritual or divine. I am referring to the one who, has realized his stillness within. So, you went to see him and obviously, you talked to him, about the tragedy which, struck upon your family, recently. If you pay little attention, you will observe, from the response of your Guru, as if nothing has, really, happened. And, let me tell you that, yes, that is the truth because, in reality, nothing has happened. As far as this existence is concerned, there is no such thing as happening – nothing really has happened so far, nothing really is happening now and nothing really will happen tomorrow. 

Happenings i.e. coming and going, appearing and disappearing; making and unmaking etc are a movement and movement is in the mind. As far as the ‘Center’ or core of this existence is concerned, is always fixed, is always still and unmoved and is always ‘as it is’ with no change in it. In the ‘Center’, there is no movement and there can be no movement because the ‘Center’ is always still. Movement is, on the periphery only. Body and mind or the physical is periphery. So, if you only know physical, if you only know body and mind then, yes, so many things are happening and hence, death too has happened for you but if you become aware of the ‘Center’ or core within, which is complete stillness then, nothing has really happened. 

Let me ask you, one question? This, existence is there for billions of years. In those many years, so many things have happened, in the way as they are happening now but do you see traces or impressions of those happenings, anywhere in this existence? No, you don’t. Because happenings like death and birth, are of the physical and physical is just passing but the ‘Center’ or stillness of this existence is nonphysical and hence, is always untouched and undisturbed by those happenings. Let me also tell you that, tomorrow, even if, this entire universe, is burnt to ashes and still the core of this existence will remain untouched and undisturbed. 

That’s the reason that for a realized master or Guru, nothing really has happened or nothing really is happening, because he has realized the stillness within. The same stillness, which is the basis and foundation of everything, in this existence. Because, he is always in the company of stillness, because, he is always connected to the ‘Center’, nothing can move or disturb him. He is always unruffled and is the same, like this existence because, he is no longer identified with the movement or his mind. 

So, if you know only the movement, I mean, body and mind only, then, yes, the things are happening. But, if you become aware of your ‘Center’ or stillness within, then for you, the happenings cease to be. The world will stop for you. The world will cease to exist for you. Now this doesn’t mean that the world or the physicality will disappear, in a jiffy. No. The world will continue to exist and things, too, will continue to happen but the world or the happenings will, no longer, disturb or move you. Please know that, world exists for you or things happen, for you, only if you are disturbed by those happenings. If you don’t get moved by those happenings, then they don’t exist for you. That’s what being spiritual is. You are spiritual only, when you become aware of stillness within. Until then you are not spiritual. Meditation is a method to become spiritual, to become aware of the stillness within. May, you become aware of the ‘Center’ or the stillness within.

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...
