ONLY, THE HUMAN CONSCIOUSNESS, HAS THE POTENTIAL OF FLOWERING.

Let me first clarify, that consciousness, is just consciousness. There aren’t different types, though consciousness can and does exist, in different states but when, it comes to consciousness, it’s the same and one consciousness, which is the intelligence of this existence and has manifested, in all what we see, around us. Then, why human consciousness? Because, in its current state, it’s stuck, to this human form and hence, is functioning limitedly, for this form only and that’s why, it is referred to, as human consciousness, though, this consciousness, too, has the same potential of existing, in a free state, like the consciousness or energy, of this existence. 

Now, coming to the point. Please know that, only, the human consciousness is capable of flowering, capable of blossoming, i.e. human consciousness, alone, has the potential of getting released, from this bodily form and exist in a free state, as against, the current state, where, it is held, in this human form. Thus, this flowering of consciousness, is possible, only, in the human form and is not possible, in other physical forms. For example, the dog-consciousness i.e. the consciousness, bound to the form of a dog, can never flower, because it has no potential of flowering, in that dog or animal form. This dog-consciousness, is yet to go a long way, before it could acquire that potential of flowering. The consciousness, in other physical forms, will have to wait and will need to evolve, into human consciousness, before it could acquire the required potential of flowering. 

Now, the reason, that only human consciousness, alone has the potential of flowering, is because it has evolved to a certain extent and has, thus, acquired certain qualities, which makes it capable of flowering, which, consciousness in other forms, has not and that’s why, this possibility of flowering, exists only in the human form and not in other physical forms. That’s why, I said, in one of the earlier posts, that, once you have arrived, in this human form, no regression or slip back, for you, to lower forms, is possible now. This, is for the simple reason, that human consciousness has gone through certain evolutionary process, which can’t be reversed. The, worst thing, at the most, which could happen and usually does happen, is that, you would get stuck with and in this human form and will not move on. 

So, this human form has a purpose, which is that, this consciousness, which currently is tied to and working for this body, wants to flower through you, wants to use you, as a medium, for flowering and hence, this human form. That’s why, this human birth becomes valuable and is considered significant because, flowering of consciousness is possible, only, in this form and not, at all possible, in other physical forms. 

So, you are lucky, that, this existence has delivered you, here, in this form and has chosen you, for its flowering. In that sense, we are blessed, that we human beings, inherently carry that seed of flowering, and thus are capable of, going beyond this bodily or physical existence, once n for all. Now, how it is possible? The potential of flowering exists, in us, because, only, we humans have evolved to a certain level of consciousness, which other creatures haven’t. Now, this potential, lies in the fact, that, if we strive, then, this bit of evolution, can be taken to full-blown evolution i.e. evolution into total consciousness, which we traditionally, know, as flowering or enlightenment. Please, know, that only because, you are a bit of conscious, now, you know, that you exist, which other creatures don’t.

So, if we also, exist like other creatures i.e. as a physical or body and don’t strive to realize this potential, then this opportunity and this human form is wasted. So, please know the purpose of being human or being in this human form and make sincere efforts, to realize the potential of flowering, you carry within. There are many methods and practices, to follow, but I give, you one simple method, for you, to follow, in your waking, because only, on your waking, you have some control. The method is - just keep your consciousness or energy free, from all entanglements, in your waking. Remember, one thing, that consciousness tied or bound to this form, is human consciousness or bondage but consciousness freed i.e. not tied to this form, is a recipe for flowering, is a recipe for enlightenment. (अगले अंक में पढिये - कैसे यह जाने की ‘मेरा अहंकार पूरी तरह से समाप्त हो गया है?’)
