WAKEFULNESS AND SLEEP, ARE NOTHING BUT JUST TWO DIFFERENT STATES OF THE SAME MIND ONLY

What you know, as your wakefulness and sleep, are nothing but just two different states of the same mind only. Your assuming or thinking that ‘I’m awake’ or ‘I’m asleep’, is not at all true because, not you but your mind is actually awake, in your wakefulness and your mind is asleep, in your sleep. Fundamentally, what you know, as sleep, is nothing but your mind, going to sleep temporarily and your waking or wakefulness, is nothing but the same mind, waking up again, from sleep only. 

Thus, what you know as life, is nothing but you alternating between these two states of your mind only. So, in reality, not you but your mind is actually living in this body, which you ignorantly know or identify as ‘I’m’. In reality, there is no such thing as ‘I’m’ but it’s the mind, the subtle body, which we also know as jivatma, which actually lives in and drives this body. 

So, sleep means, mind going to sleep, or mind going to rest, temporarily. With mind going to sleep, the world stops for you and everything else, just disappears in your experience. In sleep, nothing else exists, for you. After a temporary pause, the same mind comes awake or wakes up from sleep again, which you know as wakefulness. With mind coming awake, it begins to function, again, meaning, the same life begins to repeat itself, as it did yesterday. 

Hence, what you know, as life, is nothing but the same mind which is reasserting or repeating itself, again and again. That’s why, everyday though there is a new day for you but nothing really changes or nothing new really happens for you, because the same mind i.e. the same tendencies, same thoughts, same emotions and same memory or information etc takes over and begins to repeat itself and this is how, the whole life passes. 

The real awakening for you, will be only, when your mind will go to rest or sleep permanently. Only, then you will come awake in real sense, you will be awake in metaphysical sense, because when the mind is gone, then what remains behind is, only that which IS n is awake and conscious, always. Your consciousness is awake, is conscious, all the time, by itself and that’s why it is named so. Consciousness never goes to sleep, never goes to rest. Consciousness never comes n goes or appears n disappears, like the mind but is always awake and is always there, because consciousness is your real nature. Nature is integral, intrinsic to you. Nature never comes n goes or appears or disappears.

Thus, being in one’s nature, is real awakening. Being in one’s nature, means, you have come full circle, you have come awake, in metaphysical sense. When you come awake, in real sense, which we also know as enlightenment, then you are awake, in your sleep, too, because now you are awake all the time. Being awake, is your way of existing here now and you no more alternate between two states. 

Thus, only when your mind sleeps permanently, that you are awake really. For awakening or enlightenment, therefore, what is needed, is that your mind must go to sleep forever. So long the mind is, you are not awake but you exist in a state of unconsciousness or behoshi. Because mind is unconsciousness and that’s why, it is said that our present state is nothing but a state of being asleep or of behoshi because the mind or tendencies are actually living though us or actually driving us. Only when mind disappears completely, you will come awake ie. you will become an expression of your nature i.e. of your consciousness.  

Once you are really awake, then you transcend the physical, I mean, you go beyond the limitations of your body and mind, because, body n mind or physical are only, when you live in bondage, when you exist in limitations of the physical. Waking up to one’s nature, means, now no more bodily existence for you and hence, no more deaths and births for you. Awakening means transcending bodily existence, going beyond the physical limitations, which we traditionally know as liberation or mukti or nirvana. Practicing meditation, leads awakening 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...
