SCIENCE &/OF SPIRUALITY


What is science ? what is its realm? Where does it start and where does it end? What does it intend to do? What is its pupose?( if it has one?) Who needs to know about it? What does it want to give to human being?

What is Spirit and spiruality? What is its realm? Where does it start and where does it end? What is its purpose? Who needs to know IT? What does it offer to a human being?

Where does science and spirituality meet? Do they exist in the same plane to meet? If they do, is it necessary to meet? If they meet why do they have to meet? What does it mean to a human being?

Science is reasoning, understanding and knowing the why, what, how and where of everything known (perceived) in the universe. It tries to know the existence decipher its principles on which it exists and tries to reproduce some of the effects in vitro on the lines of principles learnt. It doesnt believe, rather it is prudent to say it doesnt understand or explain, anything that is not known (perceived). So one can

clearly see the limits of science that is it extends from known things, includes everything known, to the unknown. It does not know or can explain anything on either side of these limits. Science has its roots and bearings in the laws of nature. Everything it knows is because of and as a result of these laws. So it starts from these laws. It does not know the cause of these laws but it has its foundation in these laws. Science hence is the language of the perceivable nature. It helps to communicate the working within the nature and hence any changes and deviations from the normal working. It has made a code for different proceedings in the nature and it uses it to replicate, duplicate and recreate different things as they are found as well as can distort things changing different elements in the code. It tries to expand on itself through these distortions making itself a gigantic thing by grouping and naming similar distortions and then trying to reconnect them. Purpose of science is communication of proceedings in the nature and understanding its deviations and distortions so they can be corrected in time to not affect the integrity of the nature. In essence it is meant for the human beings to be able to keep things intact so not to get affected by severe deviations. Then what is spirit and spirituality? Here it is, there is no definition for either of them for there is no authority to describe what it is? If it can be described which means in terms of known things then it is science. People who try to propound spirituality try to explain it in different ways but any explanation is through finite experiential objects. All information available, in essence, says spirit is the unknowable basis for the known. Thus spiritualists gained advantage to distance themselves from science. Not only that, it is also said that all that is known is because and from this unknown. So spirituality has gained upper hand by defining itself that everything known and unknown is spirit. Hence spirituality encompasses the science. Science, hence is but essential part of spirituality. Science has no conflict with spirituality neither spirituality has anything against science for they both are like ocean and tide. Tide in essence is ocean but assumes individuality within the one great thing.

There is no need for any reconciliation for there is never any disagreeability between the two or any territorial conflict. Then what is the purpose of spirituality or science? Spirituality and science are the distinctions created by man. There is no spirituality or science if there were no man. Ocean and tide are to the man who sees them different neither ocean nor tide exist or identify themselves as separate. All the differences, conflicts arise due to the observations, distortions and perversions of man. Scientists (so called knowers of science) are ignorant because of the limitations they created for themselves and hence does not and cannot know spirituality. On the other hand spiritualists (so called wholistic people) do not hesitate to belittle science as and when opportunity arises because the wholesomeness they practice is only experienced as occasional glimpses but otherwise it is just cumulative experience of assorted things. Hence the spiritualists do not care to achieve synthesis and understand the unity among seeming diversity. They stop short where the tide arises and see it different from Ocean. Hence scientists and most often the so called spiritualists see each other as different due to lack of comprehension of one continuum. Ocean tries to explain tide and tide does not recognise Ocean, this is the problem.

HARDSHIPS, WHAT ARE THEY?


Hardships, difficulties, failures, upheavals and conflicts are part of the story. They lie on a plane along with happy occasions, easy going, successes, coasting along and periods of agreement. You deal with both sides equally whether knowingly or unknowingly but always negative side of the things hurt more and for longer period of time because of the wrong way they are received and dealt with than the positive side of the things are taken. Mans original nature is neutralistic with indifferent attitude to positivity or negativity. When he descends little below this original nature he reacts to the positives and negatives. Because of his original nature he reacts well, rather in not a very significant way, to the positives which does not affect him much. But negatives start to hurt more as he does not know very well how to react as it is a new phenomenon which is not experienced before and it is far from his original nature. When he comes down further below he reacts positively to the positives and negatively to the negatives. This gives waxing and waning affect of well being. Positive things make him feel happy and negatives start to hurt much more significantly. When man falls even further from his original nature, he starts to crave for the positives and tries to avoid negatives and he even goes to the extent to do anything to avoid negatives and to try to create situations which gives pleasure. When this attitude grows further he gets into abuse of things and system to derive pleasure which is when people get into habits of smoking, drinking, indulgence into sex, craving and amassing material. Again to avoid anything negative he goes to the extent of harming others. He gets into a kind of controlistic and freakish behaviour. All this is for the simple reason to stay happy. If one retreats back from where ever he is, he starts to understand that both sides of the things exist and they are transient. It is dependent on him but not outside because similar situations cause different responses in different individuals. He slowly learns to receive the positives and negatives well and tries to work with them. In the next step he starts to see them equal. Not only seeing but perceives them equal. He would not crave for positives or does not avoid anything negative he encounters. He

slowly starts to know and learn that they are essential parts of the game. He gains equanimity and remains in poise and balance. He slowly grows and then learns to stay above them which mean pleasure and pain no longer affect him for they dont exist to him anymore. Like an eagle which flies over the clouds and doesnt get affected by rain he remains above in a natural and neutral position. Others like other birds which get wet or fly for shelter, tend to create ripples among themselves. Hence Krishna in Bhagavad-Gita says

GOD, WE DONT WANT YOU


God appears to a group of sincerely devoted and praying Christians and he says My dear children, your prayers are answered and here I am in front of you. Tell me what you want Every one among the crowd is astonished at this sudden appearance of God. Some surprised, some felt ecstatic, and some looked at God sceptically. After a little while each one of them had one single question in their minds as to the One appeared in front of them is really God or not and after debate and discussion among themselves they have said to him sorry mister we discussed about your identity and have come to a conclusion that you may be God but we cannot accept you. So you have to leave the place God is really surprised at this and leaves. He faces similar situation even in temple, mosque, synagogue and etc places of worship. He sits in a park puzzled wondering at the behaviour of the devotees. Mullah Naseeruddin stumbles across God and instantly he recognises God, bows and says I am a very lucky man to have seen you. God feels very happy but surprised and tells Mulla about what happened and asks how only he can realise Him and not others. Then Mulla enquires about everything in detail and speaks to God I know the answer. God, very eagerly, wanted to know the answer. Mullah replies Dear God, Each one of them knows that you are God but they do not want to accept you because they have been praying and waiting for you for centuries and they have invested a lot in your name in terms of their lives, time and money. So they discussed and concluded not to accept you because they dont know what to do with all the temples, churches, synagogues and other places of worship. More so they cannot tolerate the vacuum that will happen once they stop praying. They are habituated to this life style and they want to continue. Hence they have rejected you God returns and never interferes with humans.

PROFANITY
There were two people who did prayer everyday and wanted to see God. They have done prayers for years. The first one used to utter Gods name only once a day and carried out his daily routine but he used to utter exactly at 12 midnight everyday without fail. The other did repetitive chanting of Gods name at least 60 times a minute which would count to 86,400 times a day. After few years have passed, God appears to the first one who uttered his name only once a day. His consort was puzzled at the act of God and requests HIM to explain his action. God replies They both wanted to know me equally when they started but the first one chose the right path of devotion. He waited ardently for 12 midnight everyday to utter my name and during that waiting he was contemplating on me until that moment arrived. While he uttered my name he did with full intent. The second one started well contemplating me and slowly he started chanting mechanically and lost ME thought he hasnt lost even a moment not chanting MY name. He had lot of reverence for my name but he lost it due to repetitive chanting. He felt he is remembering me but he lost the intent. Hence my dear how many ever times one utters my name, he has to do it ardently. LIVING IN ME AND UTTERING ONCE IS ENOUGH BUT REPETITION WITHOUT MEANING IS PROFANITY AND WHAT MOST PEOPLE DO IS PROFANE UTTERANCES

GOD LIVES IN INDIA


We the people in India are happy, the way we are living. Someone who comes and visits India wonders how people in India can be happy with so much of disorder. Certainly it is only possible if and only if GOD LIVES IN INDIA. We work like slaves and in fact we are slaves of ourselves. We live in such disorder that even to see from outside makes one sick. One wonders is it worth living such life. Why not commit suicide? What does one gain from such listless, unrewarding life? What does one aim to achieve in life? Why does he live in such utter hopeless and worthless physical and mental environment? Yet how does he not become insane? Or is he really insane and pretends to be sane all life? We Indians boast our culture, our way of life and our social structure and claim to be leaders for the rest of the world. How is it so? Every moment each one of us tries to deceive and in fact all the time deceive ourselves and the others to make our living. How does it not affect anyone? Deceiving starts from oneself. As soon as one gets up he dons an artificial personality on himself and works from that perspective. He deceives his immediate family, kith and kin without any hesitation or remorse. He goes out and needless to say he loses more of himself and doesnt bother at all to deceive people and he goes very far in deceiving and loses basics of human nature. Yet he returns home and sleeps well unaffected by his way of life. We see lot of protests, agitations, tumult and terror acts everyday in India. It has become part of the culture. If it is not this way on any day then we feel something is missing. How does one stand this type of living? Well its only possible if one practices mind over matter. It doesnt mean that Indians are yogis and have perfect control of mind. They can do this because they have known well and practiced well a simple mantra I dont mind and it doesnt matter me. This is mind over matter. This is not the case in the average west. People get up in the morning well. They have not much personality issues as it is irrelevant in their daily living. They dont deceive much on daily or routine basis. They dont have any big aims or goals in life. They try to live their life not bothering themselves or others. They have no serious claims about their culture or way of life or their social structure. Yet they feel happy at the end of day, as happy as an Indian.

10

Whether the West or the Orient, man always lives in search of happiness. Man has not found happiness yet. He hasnt even been able to know its nature. He doesnt know what exactly is happiness like? Whether in the west or the east the only human pursuit is to be happy. He does lot of acrobatics mentally and physically to attain happiness but he finds himself not happy. He does lot of things, with utmost sincerity, seeking happiness and feeling that such activities bring him happiness and yet he finds himself not happy. His effort is very sincere and he goes to unimaginable extent with lot of claims and actions to show he is happy or rather seeking happiness. Right, it is understood that all actions of human beings are directed in attaining happiness. In this endeavour of attaining happiness he acts and spends all his energy. He tries to follow certain path, act in a certain way, believe in certain other things, differing with some and agreeing with others. This agreement and disagreement differs in form and degrees which manifests as outside behaviour. In the west it is appears as calm, serene and sane atmosphere which generally, on a routine basis, doesnt grossly affect people. In the East the behaviour seems different with lot of unrest, agitation, tumult and terror acts which is now happening on a routine basis affecting masses. Man has yet to find happiness as he could not define happiness to date. He knows he wants it but does not know what it is. He does everything he can to obtain it but does not know one precise thing to do, to know it. He doesnt even know if there is anything called happiness at all. He hasnt known himsel f to be ever happy since he is born. All he knows is he is ever changing in form and thought and doing different things all the time in pursuit of unknown(happiness). Hence west or east, this culture or that, here or there man remains same. According to time and place he changes his behaviour. Hence the only thing man has to know is to define happiness. When he has done that he has attained, achieved or obtained it. Happiness is not yet defined by anyone. Many definitions are put forward and many different themes are elucidated in the name of happiness, yet, no one knows what it is? For the simple reason the knower becomes it and he does exist to define. He himself becomes the definition. One thing is sure a thought creates a man. Man does not create thoughts. Thought creates man. When there is no thought there is no existence of that personality. Thoughts create different men. There cannot be any unity at or below the thought level. Thought creates a personality and personality

11

facilitates the thought. No two thoughts are alike hence no persons can be the same. There can some gross agreement between some but it doesnt compare to its counterpart, disagreement. Hence thought divides and thoughtlessness unites. Mind attaches to anything it knows. It binds to everything perceptible either by accepting or rejecting. Mind cannot know God because if it knows it gets bound to Him. Hence the only best way the mind can know God or the closest it can come to God can only be as unknown entity. Mind is thought. Thought is self. Everything mind perceives is self. Thought is separativity, it is division. There cannot be unity at mental level. Man adds further confusion by calling this self-centred idea as I am. Each thought (person) is a different I am. The unifying idea of I am is a borrowed idea. It can be only from beyond the ideation level. For anything at the level of ideation is a unique idea.

12

GOING BEYOND?
Going beyond? Where to? What is there beyond? What is purpose of such endeavour or rather thought? Is there any such thing as beyond? If there is, what is there? Everything is here, now and in this moment. IT is there at all times for time does not exist to IT. IT is there everywhere for there is no distinction of space exists for IT. IT is the source for everything and ITself. Again there is no distinction of variety in existence to IT. IT is DHARMA. DHARMA IS IT. WHEN IT BECOMES IT IS OUT OF ITS OWN ACCORD IT IS (BECOMES) DHARMA. DHARMA IS PLAY. BEFORE PLAY IS SCRIPTED it is IT. PLAYERS OF THE PLAY, PLAY THE ROLE, WHICH IS DHARMA (also called SWADHARMA (for understanding), the customised role play). Hence Going beyond does not make any sense. Then why does this phrase exist? Where does it originate from? When players of the game forget that they are playing and lost their whereabouts then this phrase of Going beyond arises and makes sense. Its like a person swimming freely in a river accidentally swam himself into a whirlpool. In whirlpool there is no scope for swimming, at the best one can try to float with all his energy. Then if he is lucky and can wriggle himself out of it then free swim is possible again. This is how a situation creates the scope for Going Beyond. Going beyond happens when one is caught in a situation. All humanity is in a situation. It doesnt know how it is existing on earth. It doesnt know why it is existing at all. It doesnt know the basis and reason for its form and nature. It doesnt know what it is bound to do? It does not know the purpose of its existence. It doesnt know its origins and where it is coursing to? Does man need to know answers for all these questions? Yes. Why? He doesnt have a choice. He cannot stay put without answers for all these questions. What can he do to know answers for the questions?

13

He doesnt know what he can do? He does even know if he has to do something. Then what? Nothing. Just stay put until the answers are known. Because he doesnt know he can but do nothing. How can man stay doing nothing? He has no choice and he cannot do anything about it. What then? Do anything you like. Contemplate, worship, think, read, write, speak etc. Does it help? Nope. It just keeps you engaged and helps one remember constantly what he is looking for. Many who acclaim to have accomplished say man is eternal. So keep oneself open. Man is eternal. Is he really? Man lives in time and space. There is past, present and future for men. Future occurs in unknown time and space which are yet to manifest. Past occurred in yet gone time and space. Present is here and now but it presents itself to different men in different ways. Present is arbitrary. There is no such time or space which can be defined as present. Future constantly and continuously merges into the past at the threshold of present. If there were no present there is no future or past. Time again is divided into past, future and present w.r.t a reference point. Say somebody is born now. His clock starts from that point. Just as his birth is happening present suddenly divides into very brief past and apparently infinite future. Then the process turns on where future slides into past. Say if man were not born and do not die, but is there always, there is no past, future or present possible as there is no reference point. There would only be cycles of time which pass him as he remains stationary in time. There is no beginning and hence no end. So if man realises and knows that he is ever present he has transcended the divisions of time and hence time. Conclusion: This is how man is confused. Not by anything else but by himself. He adds to this confusion by merely authorising some words, using them as frequently as possible to condition himself and others. He would then abandon anything that deviates from his assertions with wrong reasoning and logic and lives in his own world not knowing where is going up to, rather not willing to know or realise. He likes and sees himself always as a seeker. He cannot imagine being a non-seeker.

14

He does not want to stop seeking. There is no endpoint for seeking. Man loses the plot. Confusion has become basis for living. There is no interval for the confusion.

DISEASE CALLED SPIRITUALITY


Mans only quest is to find out who he is? What is he made up of? Why is he made? How is he made? And more importantly who made him? He does not know from where all these questions are arising. What is it inside him is putting these questions? He tried looking inside; he has cut open himself but hasnt found it that which is putting these questions. Suddenly he is extremely mystified at the wilderness presented to him. He is extremely confused, utterly mused of his existence yet he is severely at unrest. He is not well with it. He is diseased. This disease he called it spirituality. It is the biggest of all diseases. Man suffers maximum with this disease. It doesnt kill but it hurts every moment. It hurts maximum because the disease is not understood, because there is no straight forward remedy. There are many explanations offered by many spiritual leaders and religious people, but none of them comprehensively explain the disease. This Endeavour to know himself is the root cause of all misery. Some other spiritualists have yet another more serious form of this disease. They consider this human life is mean and not worth living in this way but seek continuous and unlimited happiness which they termed as bliss. This is the height of foolishness and denial. There is no remedy if someone is stuck with this notion.

I KNOW MY PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE


Past, present and future what are these terms?

Where does past start and end? Where does future start and end? What is the span of present? Past and future are periods of time with respect to present and what is present would become past and what is future becomes present and new future lies ahead. This is the general understanding. Hence present decides the past and future. On either side of the present lies past and future. Man seem to understand this division of time so easily that he never tries to even recollect and analyse what he knows. He takes it for granted that he understands these terms fully and doesnt think about these terms. Lets assume so and see if really there is anything that needs to be known more about these terms. Present- what is it? How does one define it? This day, this hour, this minute, this second or this moment? OR is it this moment in space in this direction or that direction, up or below? Present is an arbitrary term. It cannot be defined. It is a fragment of no mind state called presence. It is fragment of eternal mindless state. It is no space, no time state. Time flows through it from future to past. It is the state missed by the human mind. It is void. Its not filled with anything, its not made up of anything, its not measurable, it does not have span yet it is full, it is experienced, it is boundless. It is the pure state called satva. When it is much more pure and full and everlasting it is called suddha satva. Past is tamas when mind resides in memories which are dead information and gives no experience but grief. Future is rajasic state of mind where it lives in imagination, hope and seeking attitude ie; desire state. Past and future are imaginary states which seem to but do not exist at any given point of time and space. When mind is in meditative state it gets absorbed into itself leaving a void which is the state of

16

presence. When this fragmentary presence becomes a continuous flow then the true nature of being is experienced without the veil of mind and its patterns. Then there is no past or no future as there is no present state, for the mind is in no-mind state. Past, present or future are states related only to mind. These divisions of time or space are due to the patterns of mind. Basis for mind is its patterns. When mind becomes devoid of patterns it just remains. The function of mind is knowing. It tries to know rather it knows all the time. Knowing through patterns of mind keeps one aware of this so called three dimensional material world and experiences arising out of them. The patterns of mind are Pramana (perception), Viparyaya (misperception), Vikalpa (conceptualisation, imagination), Nidra (sleep) and Smruthi (memory). Through these patterns mind knows the world. The five senses are the apparatus to perceive and create impressions. When mind stops knowing through these patterns and it just perceives by its own without any distortion of itself or any pattern it knows something, it perceives something because that what mind does. What is it? How to define or explain it? It cannot be because it is something which is known without any patterning of mind and it cannot be explained in terms of experience arising from within the patterning of mind. No mind (pure mind) state is the basis for patterned mind. Everything that happens in the patterned mind arises out of pure mind state yet this pure mind state remains the same and is not the cause for the patterns of mind and its consequent experience. Pure mind state is one and the same for every being in this universe. Hence each being is connected to the vast ocean of pure mind state. From this ocean one can connect to the others and their patterned minds. If the span of no mind state increases through meditation what is future and past in the patterned mind state becomes the presence state. Sudden descent into the patterned past or future through the presence state gives the glimpse of impressions at that particular point of particular patterned mind.

19/11/2011 PHILOSOPHER vs TECHNICIAN (Tantric) Fire (As from burning sticks) vs Flame (As in a lit candle) Philosopher is one who understands the theoretical aspect of anything. He understands the topic so well that he can analyse, explain and also can make others understand. He becomes authority in the subject. He knows minute details and becomes well versed with the subject. He can relate all different topics of subject very well. He can produce different effects by his rhetoric. He can also doctor the subject. He lives in the pleasure he derives from understanding something. He can paint his understanding using his intellect. There are highs and lows in his understanding depending on level of intellect he applies to understand the subject. In essence a philosopher is highly subjective. He has a huge range of just understanding about anything to nearing to just objectivity. He possesses occasional glimpses of the objective side of the thing. A technician on the other hand bothers nothing about the subject. He does not know about what of the things. He is only bothered about how of the things. He produces the same and uniform affect every time he attempts at any process. He becomes master of the process. He does not know what and why of things but just has a method to produce same effect each time. He is purely objective. He does not need the proof or explanation. He can better and better his objectivity as time goes. He becomes more skilled and at the drop of hat he can produce the affect. Tantric has a range beginning from objectivity to perfection. A philosopher is like a log of wood. Wood carries both fuel and noninflammable impurities. Hence when log of wood is burnt it leaves of heap of ash (impurities). Hence fire arising from burning of logs of wood sends out wayward and broken flames where fire consumes the wood at random pace throwing flames which assume different shapes.

18

A tantric is like a candle that carries only fuel. He is pure. Hence flame of lit candle is steady, uniform with nice elliptical shape. It consumes the fuel at an even pace. There are no left overs. Tantric does not leave back any impressions or impurities. His experience is complete, blissful and more importantly unbroken. CONFUSION IS THE NAME OF LIFE Yes! Confusion is the name of life. Birth is confusion, living is confusion and death is confusion. These are all called miracles but in fact they are confusions. Child is confused at its birth and when he is growing he is ever confused about his identity and so is confused when he is departing from life. Who am I? Why am I born and going to die? Who created me? Why am I created? How am I created? What am I to do? What is the purpose of life? Who is maintaining or sustaining this form of mine? How is HE doing it? WHO IS HE at all? How is HE doing it (If at all HE is doing)? These are the aspects of confusion which gives rise to more confusion about everything. Mans existence is termed as miracle but its not miracle as it does not fit into the definition of miracle. Miracle is something which happens against the law or principle. Mans existence is neither against any law nor without a principle. He is a wonderful constantly working system. He has to decipher the philosophy and arrive at a method to know Himself. This process of clearing confusion is the work of Man. He is himself the answer for all these questions for He is the question himself. He is the key himself and He has to unlock himself. All religions, all methods, all scriptures and all learned men should help this process. If any religion, any method, any scripture or any learned person

19

does not help Man in his endeavour to know himself then they are to be discarded and abandoned.

09/12/11 TIME TRAVEL

Time travel, if possible, helps man immensely in correcting the past and averting the mishaps of future, which helps him to live an immensely happy and eternal life. But is it possible? Yes it is says Patanjali. How then? When one learns to meditate and awakens himself into his consciousness it can happen. Past hides many shades of a person in the unconscious which determines his present nature. Past hides many wounds in the unconscious which chronically affects the nature of a person. If one knows to be conscious he can bring the unconscious to conscious and can neutralize the past. While in meditation if consciously takes his mind to the past he encounters all the hidden right and wrong deeds. Right and wrong can be neutralised by just gazing at them and not reacting. Right and wrong both leave strong impressions which need to be neutralised. Whether good or bad an impression is an impression which affects the self in equal manner. Just looking at anything and interacting makes it neutral. This process is called as PRATI-PRASAV by patanjali. Similarly one can also look into the future and can will anything but only by becoming aware consciously. Thus the time travel is only to wipe off impressions on the self by becoming conscious and aware. Consciousness without awareness leaves out huge emptiness when one becomes more aware and conscious of oneself.

13/12/11 PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE

There can be no philosophy about the philosophy of life Life is eternal Be happy and live happy Life is one. Live it Knowing who you are- is the goal of life Man is mystery Life is confusion Life is love Life is simply enjoying the going and not going to enjoy

ITS ABOUT TIME, NO ITS TIME When is it about time? When someone realises that he is a mystery, when someone understands he is not what he thinks and understands but different. When someone comes to a standstill, when nothing else matters, when everything seems profane, when his very own existence hurts him all the time. When life moves but slowly and becomes irrelevant. When all his relationships cease to exist. When only one single relation i.e; no relation begins. When everything looks, feels and understands as absurd with no meaning. When one is not the same as before. When he sees no difference between him and anything else around. When only he is. That when its about time; no its time rather high time. Time for what? Time for exploration, for dissection, for understanding, for complete understanding, for peace, for everlasting peace, for nothing, for eternity, for life, for death, for stop, for going, for staying, for living, for the sake of it. For IT. This is what patanjali means by saying Atah yoganusasanam. It means the discipline of yoga starts. It means yoga has already begun but the discipline starts then. When it is realised that its about time the yoga has started. The stick is lit and fire is made. All it needs then is fuel to hasten the process of burning, to complete the act of fire. Fuel is supplied through a discipline.

CHOICES
Nature always offers best choices to humanity. The very beginning of humanity itself was given a greatest choice of living very happily but then its squandered by wrong choice of Adam and Eve. Ever since Nature has been throwing every now and then lots of choices desperately to see humanity to be happy. It gives opportunities, resources, and shows ways by some examples, yet humanity does not utilise rather not in a state to realise. Great people have walked and lived on this Earth as examples viz; Krishna, Rama, Jesus, Buddha, Zarathustra, Mahavir etc; but still humanity is far from understanding the meaning of life. The history of humanity is because of the choices it made at different times in the past. Had anyone like Krishna, Buddha or Gandhi been completely realised and accepted by the humanity the story would have been different today. But that hasnt happened, maybe because it is how it should be for the play to continue.

I AM available at LOVE 17/01/12


LOVE is the address where anyone is available. It is not possible to meet anyone anywhere else but at LOVE. Be it between father and son, husband and wife, brother and sister, Master and Disciple, man and environment, mind and matter, Man and God or simply between any two things in the Universe. Love ranges from the gross physical to the utmost sublimity which results into conditional to unconditional love. Love at its purest point is called God. And the love at this point, for the sake of understanding, is termed surrender. Surrender is being possessed. The identity is lost, there is no separativity. It can only be comprehended from its previous state of separativity. Master and true disciple meet here from their previous separate state. In God they both lose their identity. There is no Master or Disciple. Disciple becomes Master. Master is GOD. It simply is. It is in the state of I AM on the background state of I.

GOD, THE NAME OF MYSTERY


God is the Name of the mystery. He is Unimaginable, Immeasurable, Fathomless, Quality less, unconceivable, cannot be conceptualised, beyond comprehension, beyond logic, in fact illogical, self sourced, independent , everlasting, The beauty of GOD material is lack Of Clarity. It cannot be understood or comprehended. Who so ever has claimed to have seen or spoken or felt God may have actually not did so, it may be their illusion for it is against what God is? May be it is also true if God chooses to do so. He may choose to do whatever he wants to. Science is making lot of feats, bold experiments and herculean labour to understand and if possible tap, God particle or energy. Science is even not sure if God is particle or energy. Science can only comprehend anything in terms of matter or energy. The second attribute of science is terms to measure. But God is a Mystery Energy or Object with no measurable features or dimensions. He is beyond any measurements or dimensions. So science will only fail to experience God. Religion on the other hand tries to take the God thing as far away as possible from the perceptible, material world and also tries to re-mystify which brings man to face towards God and hence facilitate his journey towards him. The closer man moves towards God the more mystic and bewildered he becomes. Hence all saints look mad and mystic. And finally only loses himself in this Unfathomable Mystic Energy. Hence no one has come back to tell what God is, for there is no way to tell.

TRANSCENDENCE
Transcendence is getting over, going beyond, leaving behind, complete understanding, being done with and ultimate experience. Now what is? To get over To go beyond To go past To understand completely To be done with and To experience fully. Transcendence is just a word to mean fulfilment. Only when someone is fulfilled of something he is said to have transcended it. After fulfilment it only overflows it can no more fill the container for there does not exist any space for it. To transcend personality needs one to go deep very far into ones own personality and experience it completely so one does not need personality anymore. One cannot function as a personality anymore. He gets to another level which is impersonal. Again the process is same. Hence every step is realised and experienced completely to go further. Next step only starts to appear when one is fully grounded on the current step. God is many steps away from man. Hence man needs to work with himself slowly build steps towards God. Experience liberates. To be liberated from the personality shell, personality has to be experienced to the fullest. The prerequisite for the path to God is realisation of oneness of all humanity in heart and mind. This is the foremost ground on which steps appear. Preparation of ground takes the most time for an average human being. One needs to come out his shell which he created for lives. One has to come out of the patterns of his mind and strip himself inside out to reveal his basic nature of LIFE PRINCIPLE. Hence when one realises and establishes himself in this LIFE PRINCIPLE, ground is said to have prepared to launch oneself into the exploration of MYSTIC PRINCIPLE GOD.

26

Hence always the focus should be on this preparation of oneself. This is the rate limiting step. Many hindrances appear during this process depending upon the previous state of the personality. The more one is self centered or ego centered the longer it takes and difficult it becomes the path. This is when most people drop out of this endeavour. But this is only for limited period before they come back again to try out. This happens so many times until one finally manages to shun some of his previous patterns and grounds himself in the process. This is the essence of first herculean labour which appears to be the most difficult of all associated with some personal loss to Hercules when he loses his friend Abderis (Lower mind).

COLLECTORS
Truth seekers (so called) are after gaining knowledge. They have become expert collectors of Information. Their heads are filled with so much of information ABOUT TRUTH that their brains compute the similarities and contradicting points between various viewpoints and they tend to evolve a new view point of their own which they call synthesis. This only helps to certain extent to be able memorise what is the work to do and nothing more than that. This is the only endpoint (at least initially) of knowing about truth. In fact the more one indulges in collecting information the longer he is stuck there. Knowledge is burden if it is not experiential. Once a person is grounded on the path one has to start experiencing the knowledge gained, which is the next step. At this level person grows more in his being and enjoys the knowledge he gained. Knowing is growing into known and becoming it. Knowledge experienced is wisdom. Wisdom reveals itself to a person. There is no need to collect any more information. Then all theories, philosophies mean nothing, they simply vanish. One has to attain to this point quickly without sidetracking when life becomes bliss. To attain this one has to put himself to a process of cleansing (submit his personality to himself) and to restructure himself inside out. This is a painful process but blissful finally.

RELATIONSHIPS
Any relationship is an agreement between two beings. It can at any level from personality to deep down to soul level. As the relationship moves from personality level to soul level there is more freedom, more trust and more unity. There are less demands and duties and more being and presence as the relationship grows to a soul level. There are no requirements, no binding, no qualifications, and no burdens at soul level. The relationship is as good as no relationship but added beingness. There is mutual growth into beingness and awareness. Such is a relationship between a Master and a true Disciple.

DIVINITY, GODS AND DEMIGODS Divinity is the principle which laces the garment of universe (manifest and unmanifest). Each part of creation is on its course to attaining this divinity by shunning the various tunics it acquired out of ignorance due to misuse of free will. At a certain stage each being becomes a demigod, then God with power and ability to help the seekers who are following on the path. Hence average human beings at personality level seek the help of these super beings (gods) who are always available to help the sincere seekers. But these Gods work within their specific powers acquired by them. Hence man needs to choose appropriate energy system for a specific purpose which empowers him to further his journey against certain forces of his personality. In this course he acquires the power bestowed by that certain energy system which should only be used for appropriate purposes. YOGIC ACTION One who has understood the purpose and work of life is said to be on the path of yoga to experience the DIVINE. Yogic action is the way a yogi acts. He does only three things viz; Meditation, Self Study and Total Surrender to Divinity. These three aspects are but essentially same with different tones. Meditation is contemplation on the self which helps shunning the outer tunics by gradual (or spontaneous) realisation (experience) of the nature of self. When it is not congenial to contemplate one engages in the self study by putting mind and higher mind against each other to experience. Finally every act of a yogi is selfless which means he simply acts according to dharma (swadharma) unaware and unmindful of the result. Yogi thus leaves his mind and starts to reside in higher mind, so on and so forth.

ULTIMATE FREEDOM Ultimate freedom is when one is and beyond. When there are no pursuits, no aims, no goals, no life, no death, nothing to relate to, nothing binds, nothing depends, no mind, no buddhi, no atman, no ether, no air, no fire, no water, no matter, nothing to look to and nothing to look at, nothing to perceive, nothing to attain , nothing to gain nor to lose ................................................................................................ ........................................................................................................................................... ............................................... IT all starts where mind ends. All theories, dogmas, scriptures, experiences religions and everything conceivable arise out of mind. It starts when mind ends. There is nothing that explains how the mind ends. Everything can at the most explain what mind is? If not only superficially. It starts only when one learns how to start where mind stops. In truth there is no separate state of no mindness. It is only just the mind being not there. It is all infinite in no mindness as mind is just finite. Ultimate freedom ah......................................................................

MIND MEETING LIFE Mind exists and is closed on the experience it already gained in the past. Life is forward moving all the time. It does not carry any impressions from the past. It is fresh and flowing all the time. It is unidirectional. Mind does not and cannot know what forward is and what flowing is. If one is stuck with mind and its patterns he is simply not with Life. He is just lagging behind Life. Life is natural. Life is eternal beauty. It is simply not the same at any two instances. But is always the same relying on past experiences and just going round and round with its patterns. Mind and life are two separate entities. Life is consistent with its ever-changing and ever challenging beauty and freshness while mind is inconsistent due its closedness and fear of losing memories of its experiences on which it thrives. Mind cannot meet Life. One has to chose between Life and Mind.

31

ITS GREED, IF NOT WHAT? Ever since his creation, as depicted in scriptures, man has always been extremely greedy always wanting to have something or the other irrespective of need of his needs. Adam sought and ate the apples from the tree of knowledge which was forbidden for him to do so. Since then this trait has been carried through generations and generations which is the basic foundation for the human history. Everlasting life, Everlasting happiness, Everlasting peace, Everlasting health, Eternal youth, Everlasting wealth are few top hits of his greedy wish- list. He has never achieved any of these for they are just arbitrary without the counterparts complementing them. Even the so called spiritual practices are centred on his ambitious and greedy desires mainly ultimate peace, eternity and hassle free life. Seeking Spiritual attainment is the sign of utmost greediness, if not what?

PRAYER Prayer is the most common word used in profanity by most truth seekers, so called spiritualists, sadhaks, followers etc; In the name of prayer they feel a kind of security to deal with personal problems. For many prayer is shunning responsibility unto God in the name of surrender and discipleship. They do prayer at a particular time in a certain place in a ritualistic pattern. One feels blessed and prayers answered if he lives without any problems and if everything happens the way he wishes and feels otherwise if anything contrary happens. Hence for prayer the end result is some kind of happening. Therefore many questions arise here regarding prayer which needs to be answered first before embarking to pray. They are What is prayer? Why should we pray? Who should pray and whom to pray? What does one have to do to pray? What happens when one prays?

32

How to pray? Prayer is simply admiration of creator (creation). There is nothing to gain or nothing to seek. It is just growing into it. It helps to take some off to gain entry into ones own self and then slowly filling into oneself to be oneself. There is nothing that needs to be asked for as there isnt anything different than HIM (creation, creator, GOD etc). It is everything. IT JUST IS.

MIND GAMES

GIVE DONT ASK

Man has the ugliest habit of asking. He asks for everything that is comprehendable or even otherwise. He is probably the worst creature in the creation who asks a lot. If it is apt to call someone a beggar who asks then the whole humanity is beggars. He is full of demands and wishes. His wish list has neither the beginning nor the end like the creation itself. Man asks from everything he relates to as well as he doesnt relate to. He prays God to be benevolent towards him while he doesnt show any compassion to the rest of Gods creation. He asks from nature, he abuses it and on the contrary he prays it to be kind enough not to get angry but bestow all the riches. If this habit of asking is shred that is probably the ultimate freedom to experience. Dont ask from other people, the other creatures, nature or even God. Be there and let everything pass by. Let things Occur by themselves but not try to make happen
