WHAT YOU KNOW AS WORLD OR SAMASARA IS NOTHING BUT JUST A PLAY OF YOUR MIND ONLY.

What you know, as world or samsara, or for that matter anything else and everything else, which you see or come across, is nothing but just a play, just an extension of your mind only. The other or the world, is because of the mind and is in your mind only. When the mind is active, the world, happens for you, the world exists for you. That’s why, the world exists and happens in your wakefulness only, because, only in your wakefulness, your mind is active. But the same samsara or world, disappears in your sleep, because in sleep, your mind goes inactive, temporarily. In sleep, because, the mind is not in action and hence, the world, too, does not exist, for you. 

Thus, what you know, as wakefulness and sleep, are nothing but just a play of your mind only. When, mind is active, it is wakefulness, for you and when your mind is not active but resting then it’s sleep for you. It is the mind, which we, also, commonly know, as ego. Thus, ego, means that your mind or your individuality, is operative. That’s why, for you, all the time, in your waking, it is action, action, and action only, simply because your eyes are open and exchange of energy, between the subject and object, is happening, non-stop.

That’s the reason, it is said, that ours is a state of unconsciousness or behoshi because mind is unconsciousness. Only if you consciously still your mind, you will come awake in real sense. So, if you, consciously still or rest your mind, then you will know, that awareness is and action is only when needed. That’s what freedom and bondage are. Bondage means compulsive action i.e. action, all the time but freedom means, freedom of action i.e. action is, only, when needed. 

Now, this fact, that everything is just a play and extension of mind only, is true for your death and birth, as well. Death and birth, too, are nothing but your mind becoming passive for a while or mind becoming active again. When mind is rested or becomes passive, for some time, we know it, as death and when the same mind becomes active again, we know it, as birth. So, it’s mind, which actually lives in this body, which actually sleeps and wakes up, which actually, takes birth and dies, which actually takes on, new body and drops the old body. 

Now, this play of mind can be stopped only by destroying this mind. Without destruction or dissolution of this mind, this mind-game, can never be stopped. Sleep and death, are just nature’s way of forcibly resting this mind, but this is not the solution. Because in both the cases i.e. in sleep and death, the mind is not destroyed but it remains alive, in subtle form. As the same mind wakes up, from forced rest i.e. post sleep after sometime, so does this mind wakes up again, post death, in a new body. 

So, death and sleep are not the solution or end of mind but sleep and death are just temporary pauses in the continuity of this mind-game or in the journey of this mind. Solution is only, when this mind is rested, not temporarily but permanently. Now this can be done, only, when you are alive i.e. when you are in this body. In fact, all sadhana or spiritual practices are about conscious dissolution of this mind only. Meditation is a technology, to learn to dissolve or rest this mind permanently.

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...
