I once held a new born baby girl in my hand. What I instantly felt there was the fast moving currents running up and down through her little frame. She was in deep sleep oblivious of the crowd that was gathering around her, while the currents of prana in pristine flow in her just reinstated the pure state that we come into this physical plane as babies.
It was such a joy to hold her, while the happy, giggling women surrounded her, sharing their joy of watching her sleep. I could sense that many hands were just itching to just hold her. She had all the radiance (tejas) to keep the crowd so deeply attracted towards her.
I tenderly kissed her soft spot on the head. I must admit that it’s the most beautiful interaction with purity that one can experience in nature. Her head was emanating amazingly sweet fragrance, while her face was radiating a soft glow. Amrit (nectar ) is our body’s elixir of life which flows from our pituitary gland and travels down the spine while mixing with the cerebro-spinal fluid.
We grown-ups too can experience the nectar if we can sublimate our vital body essences virya (semen, vaginal fluids), ojas (lubricating sap), tejas (fire) to blend with our life force – prana which then finally transmutes into drops of nectar in our pituitary gland. It’s a sublimation process that demands deep awareness and yogic practices.
The blissful interaction with the baby put me in deep contemplation. I walked back home just thinking about the path of purity and how many of us have lost our way in pursuit of a dream that we have borrowed from someone on this physical plane. We had arrived here with so much purity, innocence and deep connection to the divinity within and somehow lost it, along the way.
We are not going to return to innocence just by being with children. We can envy their purity, spontaneity, vibrancies, exuberance and zeal for life. We can’t reverse the catabolic wheel and regenerate our cells like them anymore. We will continue to degenerate as its law of this plane. We can learn how to sustain youthfulness by slowing down the degeneration process and rejuvenation processes like pranayama, panchkarma, kayakalpa, and so on.
More importantly, we can unlearn from our stressful living and let go off the emotional baggage and celebrate the imperfectly perfect state that we are in. It’s an important step towards returning to the source of our causeless joy within.
Ignorance:
The path to liberation of the self is inundated with many obstacles. Many of them are self-imposed, and the rest are gifted to us by our societies, communities, and many of the walls that we have surrounded ourselves with.
Ignorance is one of the thickest walls one can ever encounter. Since many of us just seem to be contented by being within the confines of these walls, Ignorance is treated as bliss and many billions on this plane celebrate this state of unawareness like the norm. Our souls despite is deep seated awareness of its journey is masked by the dark veil of the universal mind called Maya.
Intelligence:
Many of us have used the power of exploration to move from ignorance towards harnessing the power of intellect. Intelligence has its gains and pitfalls. While it gives us the discretionary power to chaff out our journey and give us a definitive path of awareness, it still does not have the power to liberate us from the pain, suffering, misery, greed and the chain of desire that confines us to the wheel of life and death.
All the lofty ideals, beliefs, traditions, scientific techniques, theories, philosophies have not enabled us to identify ourselves with a constant integrated universal awareness that we are divine beings exploring the human journey and we are eternally connected to the infinite consciousness. We have been easily lead into a journey that is maligned by fear, an insatiable greed fuelled by ego while we continue to gratify and protect our basic fountain of life which is survival instincts, food, comfort and procreation.
Application of intellect provides the cutting edges in our explorative journey. However it serves as a deterrent to realize the truth. The truth is revealed in the deepest silence within. It’s the infinite consciousness conversing with us when everything within becomes still, and absorbed in nothingness.
It’s improbable to crystallize the big picture of our journey with the faculty of our thinking minds. All the greatest thinkers on this plane have deduced that behind the functioning of the universe laws is driven by a powerful mathematical equation. But somehow all this intellectual understanding has its own fallacies and their theories have fallen flat at the hands of other theorists and adversaries. The scientific community tends to concludes that they agree to disagree with each other.
Intuition allows us to explore the depth within us intrinsically and rely on being in flow rather than logic. This intuition points us to the awareness within. Each of our cells carry the universal awareness. The microcosm has the information of the macrocosm. Our outwards journeys can make us feel inadequate and incomplete; while the inner journey elevates us to connect with the creative intelligence that governs the universal flow of events. There is more bliss, contentment and fulfillment and connectedness to the vastness of this universe. It is like a home coming, and returning to the source. There is deep senses of oneness within and the separateness slowly fades away.
We can tap into the awareness of the zero within us, which has the immense potential to all the universal truths. The greatest truth of the universe is that the whole physical universe is a just a projection and it reflects itself on the universal consciousness.
Divinity or godliness pervades everything in this universe. So we have encased ourselves in a human body that is a divine instrument, calibrated like a sacred geometrical device. We have all the ability to tap into the creative intelligence to connect with the stars, planets, cosmic beings and derive the inspiration to perform effectively.
However, the combined experiences and intelligence of humans has failed to give any precise path to our soul’s depth of journey through our ascension process of love, light and consciousness. There is no single path, as all of them finally broaden and expand into oneness and wholeness.
When all intelligence is exhausted, intuition awakens. Many eternal souls have assumed human journeys and tried hard to explain a part of the truth, while beaming their enlightened awareness on how to go about this puzzling phenomenon. The search is incomplete and the answers are fuzzy. This makes it very clear that there is no definitive path to knowing and it’s unique to each one of us. The fact is that we will never get to know the entire picture as we operate at varying bandwidth in multi-dimensional realities. The universe is evolving way too quick for us to comprehend or measure with our limited awareness.
All the great prophecies have only reduced our thinking to more limitations and miserable rules that have pinned us into vicious cycle of rights and wrongs. All we can do is to remember the true nature of our soul. We are divine, sacred, pure beings who have chosen to explore a human journey on this plane. Through our experiences, the eternal universal consciousness expands and reflects upon its own creation. As we progressively connect with our higher awareness, we elevate as immortal ascended beings.
Man in the Mirror
In a simple analogy, it’s like standing in front of the mirror. We want to look better in the mirror, and for that image to get better, we have to work on ourselves and not the mirror. It reflects that we have work inwards and ascend into expansive awareness. In this journey, there is nowhere to go. Inner journey is all about stillness. When we supremely still our mind, it serves as gateway to higher consciousness, the currents driven by the power of kundalini bursts open through the central channel in the spine and merges with the cosmic awareness at the converging point on the top of our crown.
Shunya- The Zero
The zero or nothingness from where everything emerges is so close to us that we miss it or rather ignore it. It is the core being within us. Its our human nature to ignore whatever is close to us, and focus on the distant, which appears more appealing. we have been trained to focus on the outward. Its a part of our evolutionary seed within.
We are gatherers, shoppers and hoarders. We have access to libraries that have all the claims for more terminologies and techniques but fails to help us achieve that stillness and silence within. No inspiration is good enough, it just requires us to become deeply contented and allow ourselves to become still and silent.
The soul is a witness to this cosmic drama unfolding in front of us as events. However to access this state, it takes us to plunge into that nothingness, silence within that is penetrable through the innocence.
We have to make sense of all this in our own way through dedicated actions. We can’t change the way the universe works, as the events are happening, we are just witnessing them without any power to control.
However we can bring about a paradigm shift by the seeing things as they are and not how we want to see them. We are the only change we can bring to the universe. We are living multi dimensional realities within us. We can only change ourselves by integrating our fragmented existences in various dimensions and rewrite our destiny or the course of our journeys, if only we can accept, expand and become one with the universe within, the external universe merely reflects our state. Everything is just in flow and is coming towards us. That’s the power of influence of a powerful being within us.
Revelation: It Just happens when we least expect it
Seeking the truth will not help us. The more we search, the more it eludes us. So can we just rest our case and wistfully surrender to the destiny or continue to explore? We do have the ability to purify our instruments of breath, body, mind, heart to able to absorb the purity within, which is speaking to us in a language of silence. To achieve stillness and silence within, is a progressive state of awareness.
In that emptiness when we no longer try to know, the truth just reveals itself. The self reflects upon itself and realizes its true nature. Suddenly, the cosmic joke that we call as journey becomes so clear. It Just happens when we least expect it. Laughter erupts from the pit of our bellies.
Even the slightest understanding of this cosmic joke is enough to unshackle us from the bondage of cyclical miseries. With more cleansing within our minds, we become a pure conduit with abilities to tap into our higher awareness. This clearly ushers us into the innocence within. We become children again. The innocence returns and sustains.
To switch to a child like state is a cherished and blessed state. All the knowledge of the universe can’t help us to achieve that state.
Yes, Guruji.
Always letting the silence be. When there is stillness the truth emerges.The journey ofcourse is long and sometimes your faith is shaken till the bones. Then there is a lightness of giving in, to let the higher force take its course. Prayer and chanting have become important to me now. Its as though my lightness is in movement through the chanting. It gives me peace and a small feeling of joy has started creeping in.
