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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.
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 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?

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
