    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 meetwhy 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 itdoesnt 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 isbecause 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. Notonly 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 onlyexperienced 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. Hegets 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 meanpleasure 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 Mydear 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. Theyhave 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 himselfand 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.

    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

  • 7/27/2019 1 Journey.docx

    11/33

    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.

    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 spaceexists 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 thatthey 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 andreason for i ts form and nature.It doesnt know what it is bound to do? It does

    not know the purposeof 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?

  • 7/27/2019 1 Journey.docx

    13/33

    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.

  • 7/27/2019 1 Journey.docx

    14/33

    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 futurewhat are these terms?

    Where does past start and end? Where does future start and end? What isthe 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 ifreally 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 statemissed 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 inmeditative state it gets absorbed into itself leaving a void which is the state of

  • 7/27/2019 1 Journey.docx

    16/33

    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

    impressions at that particular point of particular patterned mind.

    PHILOSOPHERvsTECHNICIAN (Tantric)

    Fire (As from burning sticks) vsFlame (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 non-

    inflammable 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.

    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

    does not help Man in his endeavour to know himself then they are to be

    discarded and abandoned.

    TIMETRAVEL

    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.

    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. Whensomeone 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 itsabout 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, Manand 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 stateof I.

    GOD, THENAMEOFMYSTERY

    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, completeunderstanding, 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 transcendpersonality 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 thepersonality 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.

    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 betweenvarious 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 lessdemands 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 onlythree 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.

    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 whatforward 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.

    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 knowledgewhich 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?

  • 7/27/2019 1 Journey.docx

    32/33

    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 isnothing 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
