Questioner: Basis of any instrument is that it has unique ability of measuring someaspect of the new material.

Guru: Any measurement happens against some reference, is this not always true?

Questioner: Yes, it is always that way. Against some reference only you create contrastand distinction and thus measure.

Guru: Great. You have now come to the root.

Questioner: What?

Guru: That any measurement really depends on the reference, against which contrast can be made and measured. Now, what happens to any instrument when reference becomessame as that of being measured?

Questioner: At this point, no instrument can measure anything, because no contrast can be made in any aspects.

Guru: That is the limiting point of any instrument that would ever be discovered byscience, and that is the limitation of any material that science would ever discover.

Questioner: I see your point, what you are finally trying to point out here.

Guru: As result of this limitation, science can never make any conclusion of ultimatereference, which is emptiness or nothingness. I mean it cannot say anything about thisemptiness. Thus you cannot prove (in scientific terms), that there is nothing in this empty

box in front of you.

Questioner: Yes, I agree with you. I cannot prove the emptiness or nothingness of this box. But how this is related my original question.

Guru: They are directly related to each other. There is no place in this universe in whichGOD does not exist. GOD, Universal soul, emptiness, nothingness, or awareness all arein essentially synonyms. All of them are pointing to same timeless reality. So if youcannot prove nothingness of this empty box, you cannot prove existence of GOD (inscientific basis).....That does not mean nothingness does not exists, but it can never be

proved by science.


5/75

Questioner: I fully understand that limitation of science. Then how come you came toknow of GOD.

Guru: Not only myself, you can also come to know of it.

Questioner: How?

Guru: Do you know that you exist here and now?

Questioner: Yes, off course.

Guru: At the root of yourself, you are nothing but that nothingness. In the same way asintuitively as you know that you exist, you can come to know of your existence asnothingness, if you attempt some of things that were done by many of the people whohave come to know of this timeless truth that all the times of history. When you actuallycome to know, you will also understand that what you came to know cannot be proved to

anyone else, all the above discussion we had is the explanation why so.

Limitation of Mind

Questioner : How does one can purify his mind?

Guru : What is problem you are facing with your mind?

Q: While my mind does fantastic job while I solve tecnical problems. It is almost failingme when it comes to life problems and the problem related to my relations with others.Here it seems to completely fail and as time goes, it lossing the confidence of solving anyof my life problems, thus leading to frustrated and stress full life. As my age goes up, Ifeel my mind has become more and more dirtier and leading more and more stress filled

life. Tried so many things to refine it or make it better, but nothing seems to help here. Sothis qustion on how to purify the mind?

G: Yes, it is true when it comes to solving tecnological problems from simple to highcomplicated like sending making a ship to sail through millions of miles, making rocketsto lauch satelites in the space, human mind is working so perfectly to solve the probemwith so many innovation and inventions. And the same mind when it comes to solve life

problems or problems form human relations, utterly fails.......

Q: This always puzzles me. Once side I am so proud that I having been given so muchintellegence to right solve this type of problem, and other side the same mind is utterlyfailing. Why?

G: The answer to this puzzle is very simple. It is amount of freedom that mind has tosolve the problem. When it comes to technical problems, we leave the mind with fullfreedom to solve it. So it does the job so beatifully without encoutnering any limitationsto deal with.

Q: Is it not same freedom available to it, while it is solving the life problems?

G: No. Not at all. and that is the root cause of the problem your looking at. and givingthat freedom to the mind is the real answer to your question on how to purify the mind.


7/75

Q: I don't understand this. I alway feel that I am free to solve it any problem be ittechnical or personal

G: We need to go little deeper to understand why your mind is not free to solve the life problems. Did you rember the things we discussed on automating abilty of mind whenthings are repeatatively carried out. The capacity of mind to automatically analyse theevent, and the probelm that is going on infront of it, at any given point in life andsuggestion solutions or way to respond almost so spontaneouly as the problem isoccurring?

Q: Yes and also understand that an important capability of human mind without whicheven simpel action of taking a glass of water and drinking will be so conciounessfocussed and difficult to live the life.

G: Yes. As the mind solves these problems this way, it takes into account of all the thingsone strongly believes in, the things one likes, the things one dislikes, the things one fearsabout, the the things one desires about, the things one bliefs to be right, the things one

beliefs to be wrong, all the things one blieves to be of high values, the things one shoulddo or should not....etc. All these things acts as constraints, that need to be taken care ofwhile solving the problem. All these things together binds the mind, or completelyrestrict the mind while it is trying to solve or deal with the life situation that is going oninfront of it. Or in other words, all these are considered as part of the event, as it tries toresolve the problem, thus it is not free at all to see the event, as event to solve the same.

Or in other words problems could not seen cleary by the mind and it is blurred andcolored completely by these personal constraints that put on the mind. This leads to many problems...like seeing problem when it is not there at all...or seeing problem whichcompletely extraploated in different scales than it actually is. Thus mind is not able to seethe problem as it actully is. In a way it is completely blinded in its observations. Thusleading to point where it is almost fails to sole such problems all the time and even whenthe problem is repeateded happening. Thus leading to frustrated life that you are leadingnow.

Q: What is the solution?

G: If you have understood the above deeper aspects that is going within the mind as pointed above, then solution to solve the root cause of your stress or frustrated life,should be obvious to you now.

Q: Do you mean make my mind free by dropping or removing all those constraints?


8/75

G: Yes, after dropping all of them, then see how it approaches any life problem. You willsee how beatifully it resolves.....rather you would be amazed that very mind you arefrustrated with, becomes so transparent and pure, that it is able to see the things as it

exists, and response to them, so perectly to meet event, and resolves them. You will alsosee, non of the problem will be repeated, and every problem is solved so completely.

Q: Even though what you say really attaks the root cause of the problem and is obviouslyso exiting and so meanifull to do. Is it possible for one to drop all those constraints you

pointed out.

G: Yes. It is possible.

Q: I have so many things that I like or dislike, I have so many bliefs and disbliefs, I haveso many things about which I feel good and bad, if I start listing them, list will never end.How it is possible to drop all of them, more particularly things I value the most in my life.Without of all of these, I will be like like lazzy person with no interest in life at all. I willloose all interests and excitements of setting goals and meeting....almos man with nomotivation at all........I feel so because these things I hold and drives my life, right fromthe time I get up in the mornign to sleep, from my child hood to till date, so manydecades, I have been living this way only. Given all these, how it is possible for comman

person like myself to drop all these and yet lead intersting life?

G: All your motivating things like values, likes and dislikes, even though looks like somany, all them are essentially coming from two things. One is desire and other is fear. Sothe real thing you need to drop is the thing that causes you to desire some thing or fearsome thing. This particular thing, that causes both of these, is all you need to drop.

Q:What is that one thing that is ultimate root cause which give rises to flowering ofdesires or fears?

G: The fact that you don't know who you are? Because you don't know who you reallyare?, you believe yourself to be simple pershiable thing that has taken birth at some pointof time and will eventually die at some point of time.

Q: Who I am really then?


9/75

G: Answer to this question can not be obtained through words? Even if I tell you whoreally you are? and Even if you believe it, it will not help you to drop your desires andfears.

Q: Then what is the way out.

G: You find do the things you feel you need to do, to find out yourself.

Q: Is there no other way to solve the problem fully.

G: Is that not obvious to you, how can you expect to purify the mind, or free the mind,without droping the desires/fears that you yourself have possed on it. How can you

expect to drop them without getting enourmous real courage to do that ? How can youget such level of courage which takes to fearless life without knowing who are youreally ? You have so much intellegence with you, think yourself and see the obvious wayto move forward.

Q: I agree, I see the way to best way to solve this life long problem once for all and I alsosee that I have to solve it myself. Thank you for pointing it out so beatifully.

G: GOD Bless you.

sometime the focus shifts to what thinking is going on inside, at this point of time wedon't register what the person is talking, we when recognize this, we say, sorry I missedwhat you said, as I was thinking on something, can you please repeat? This experience allof us go through. At this point, the sound of other person talk is received by our ear and it

presented to mind, but hearing within the mind does not happen, as focus is on the

thinking at that is going on inside the mind, so we don't hear the talking sound received inthe mind. Same thing true with things we see, many seens are going into our mindthrough eyes, but only some seens are actually seen or registered in our mind, the thingsthat are really seen or the seens that have been focused upon.

This ability to focus on selected part so things from all the things that are coming from allsensors, is what is called as Attention. When one observes this attention of some time,one can know that, this attention keeps shifting form one sensation to another sensation,one observation to another observation continuously.

That informations that are under attention are the ones, to which response happens. For

example when one listens to someone talking, if it was under attention, it is heared andappropriate action is generated. So in a way, it is attention that gives the connection between what one senses and what response needs to be happening. Thus attention is coreaspect of the mind.

What is conscious thinking?

As mentioned above thinking going on all the time in our mind. When the attention isfocused on the thinking that is currently going on, then it is called as conscious thinking.

All the time, when we feel we are having discussion / analysis within our mind, thosethinking is conscious thinking, because during this time, attention is fully on the thoughtsthat are coming and going.

What is sub-conscious thinking? :

The thinking is going on without the attention, is referred as sub-conscious thinking.Many time this also referred as subconscious mind. During this time also thoughts andanalysis are going on in the background, but there is no conscious attention to them. Herethe thinking is going by itself automatically as the seen from eyes are processed and

brought mind, whether attention is given to it or not.

What is Witness?

An aspect of mind, that gives knowing quality to the mind. Gives clear feeling that I amhear and watching all the things that are going in my mind. When you know attention isshifting form one to another, it is witness that notices this.


12/75

The way mind is functioning

Of all the above aspects, Sensors are grossest aspect, and then comes thinking, then

attention and then Witness. It is witness that enables functioning of attention, Attentionenables responses based on the information from all sensors and the appropriate choicesobserved through thinking, so the core aspect of mind functioning, it is witness, thenattention that arises from Witness. Witness/Attention is what gives rise to the innerfeeling that I am living here, I can focus on the things on by my choice, I can shift thefocus/attention from seen, to song, to thinking etc. at my will. Or in other words what Ifocus and act upon is at my choice and at my freedom, thus making mind to functioncoherently and in an integrated manner and at the same time maintaining freedom of the

person to act on his own choice.

Here nature of functioning of mind, the most important thing to take note is nature of

Witness/Attention aspect as it is core of the minds functioning, without which nothingcan be registered as event in our mind and as result no appropriate responses to anythingsensed by this body. Without with the situation is like all informations are coming tomind, but mind not able to processes them. The situation is like having computer where

power supply, mother board, memory, program, keyboard, mouse, speaker and displayscreen all are working and but there is no CPU (central processing unit) to process themand make appropriate response on the all the inputs received.

What is the nature of Witness and Attention?

When we wake-up from deep sleep, at the moments of waking up, it is witness that arises

first, along with arises consciousness (knowing quality of mind, the feeling of beingaware), then arises attention, then arises the feeling that I am and so and so and justwaking up from sleep at this moment here....All these things happens so fast, to us itlooks it all happens simultaneously. Then wake-up day life, where attention shift fromone sensation to other or from one observation to other, making appropriate the all eventsobserved.

To most of us never attempted to differentiate all these aspects of the mind, the witness,attention, sensations, thinking, and responses from the mind. As result all of these aspectsseem to look like one thing and that is what generally refers by the word mind, eventhough there are clear separations in terms of their function, dependency andindependency.

All these different aspects of the mind can be directly and clearly observable to anyone.Only difficult aspect to observe is the presence of witness from normal day to lifeexperience. Here few times of mediation helps to understand the fact on the presence ofwitness at the core of the mind.


13/75

In attempting meditation experience, one is really shutting down all sensations andthinking, so that one is removing all things that would attract attention, so that attentionretorts backward and return to the witness, and thus one can feel the witness directly.

When one goes much deeper in meditation, one can directly feel that the witness along

with consciousness disappears to nothingness. This is state of mind that is in Samadhi.When one finishes the meditation and tries to come out, one will feel the appearance ofwitness along with consciousness, then slowly attention starts to act, then slowly all otherfunctions of mind. When one attempts deeper mediation for over long period of time,slowly one will start realizing the following truth, (or in other words reality onesexistence)

At the core of the mind, it is witness that enables knowing quality, is not permanentaspect of mind, it arises from voidness, emptiness or in other words awareness and itdissolves back to the same. This phenomenon is happening all the days in one s life. Hereemptiness does not mean empty of everything, but refers to the ultimate life source.

Witness is the earliest of expression (finest form from formless source) and within mindit is felt as witness and starts enabling all the functions of mind. The source empty ofevery content and so it is formless, because it is formless, it does not have any boundaryto it, because it does not have boundary, it exists beyond the skin lines of this body, and it

present everywhere thus enabling every single life of this universe as it is enabling life inthis body.

On realizing this truth, Mind as it exists and as it is actually operating seen with fullclarity. Witness/Attention knows from where it came and to where it goes back, it knowsits true home is not this body but that limitless and formless source and it true nature isthe nature of that timeless and space less source. Thus it is no attached or can be bounded

or binded or blinded by anything (seens, objects, thoughts etc.) under its observation.Thus it feels it is a fully independent and impersonal being which is free so naturally. Itcomes knows, that it is independent of this observable world and while everything in thisworld including this body depends on it for its survival.

When such self-realization happens, it also knows the relation between Witness/Attentionand Voidness/Awareness/Universal being are like the relation between waves and sea.Waves come and goes (appear and disappear) all the times, while sea is always present.Voidness/Emptiness/Awareness is always present without time and space limits, whileWitness/Attention come and goes (appear and disappear) all the time. Thus the feeling of"I AM here as separate being or life" melts to the limitless awareness or universal being.

At this point, since inner world (world within mind) universe is seen fully in all fullclarity, all that exists and functions outside the body also seen with same clarity as clearlyas they actually exists. Thus the end of world of Maya, illusionary life, end to fear ofdeath, end false belief that I am born such and such date and living in this body.

The Soul As It is Existing

This is continuation of the discussion on The Mind As It is Existing Let us look atsome aspects of mind that we already discussed but in much more detail that we can

connect with our experience in our day to day life.

What is Consciousness?

Consciousness refer field in which that we are aware of all the things that are going onwithin our mind like all the informations that are brought by all our five senses and thethinking that are aware and interact with. The things that happen in our sub-consciousmind are not in the field of conscious mind. Apart from the things going on in our mind,the many things that are going in our body like functioning digestion, purification of

blood in lungs and in kidney etc are not also in our field of consciousness unless there issomething going in them which gets reflected through our feelings of pain & discomfort.

Their normal routine functions are not part of consciousness we are not aware of them.

What is Awareness?

As discussed earlier Witness is the place from where attention arises in our mind. Eventhough most of the time this Witness and attention are present in our mind, they are notthere for 100% the time. There many times they are not there. The best experience thateveryone has to know this fact is time in which we are in deep sleep state. During thistime, both witness and attention are absent in our mind. If it is there some time and if itnot there some other time, then out of this fact/observation, An obvious question of fromwhere this witness comes in to action or play?

The answer to this question cannot be known unless one goes through experience ofMeditation or states of mind which takes us to meditative experience like completesilence or pure listening to a beautiful music or complete/total involvement any activitieslike drawing or dancing etc as we discussed in the topic on state of mind in meditation.These are some common experience one can get connected to. If Mediation looks to beheavy word or concept, just by trying to spend time regularly in total silence without any


15/75

disturbance, will give the experience that is required here to get answer to this questionfor any one.

This meditative experience will reveal the answer that witness arises from Awareness anddissolves back to Awareness. Or simply Awareness is the source from which witness

arise and get dissolved back to it. When one is deep sleep, all that is present in onesmind is pure Awareness.

It is common experience for any one is that however deep sleep one gets into, whensomeone calls the person, the person is able to recognize call and can wake up from thatdeep sleep. The Pure Awareness that is present in deep sleep, comes to aware of this calland make the witness to arise and all the actions and recognition follows leading thewaking up or getting up of the person. In simple terms of one wants to understand whatawareness is, it somewhat one experience when one is in total/complete silence in theirmind.

Now the next question will come is that does awareness present only in silence or only indeep sleep timings, the answer is no. It is the only thing that is present all the time in ourmind. It is the foundation on which our mind operates. When we listen to music,

background silence that is required to recognize the fine and finer rhythms of music isgiven by this awareness. Same way, the back ground silence that is need to recognize ourthoughts are given by it, and it goes onIt is the background and basic reference verything is felt and recognized by our mind. If it is not there, our mind cannot function at all.So there is no point in time, it is absent. Thus it is much more real and permanent thatwitness, attention, consciousness, thinking, all sensations, emotions. All these come andgo but Awareness never come and never go, as it is always there, the only thing thatguaranteed to be there all the time is this Awareness. But it is rarely noticed at all.

How Awareness is functioning?

The real answer to this question is it does not do anything at all but enables everything. Itis in stillness and is always in stillness without any moment of what so ever at all. But itenables everything in our mind. Because it is motionless, it enables motion. Because it isthought less, it enables thinking. Because it is total silence, it enables sounds. And the listgoes on. It is the real source of all that we can observe directly but it itself cannot beobserved at all. This is simple reason why it is rarely noticed.

How Awareness enables all other functions?

Answer this question is a puzzle or mystery, but through experience one can really seethrough this mystery. So let us focus on more what all we can observe through our directexperiences to finally get to the answer to this mystery.

First thing to understand is how witness and attention are doing in our mind, and why it isdoing what it is doing. This bit straight forward to understand. This connected to how


16/75

learning happens in our mind and how learned things are taken to subconscious level forany repetitive use.

We discussed this in detail on the topic of how mind gets conditioned and on the beautiful capacity of the mind to do things by itself without conscious involvement fromour side. In short, anything we do it for the first time, we become more clearly consciousand we do with total attention on what we do, recall the experience we discussed on howwe learn to drive car. After good time on learning the driving, we get confidence ondriving the car without conscious attention to that activity, with little more time, we dothe car driving so automatically. At the start of the learning, the activity is fully aconscious activity with full attention on it. At the point time when we get ability drive soautomatically, it becomes unconscious or sub-conscious activity, because after goodexperience, mind is capable of doing it itself, without requiring attention from us. So theactivity itself goes to the subconscious level. All we need to know where to go and whatis route to take, rest is taken care in the subconscious level. This we call in otherworldsautomating capacity of mind. Or in other words, during such driving, the driver(attention and controlling aspect of mind), vanishes, the activity goes by itself.

The same thing is true for dancer who has practiced so well before the performance, inthe stage when he dances, the dancer vanishes. Actually the dance performance reaches

perfection and real beauty only when dancer vanishes and when dance alone is going on.The same is true for performance of musician, performance of artists, etc. Every suchgreat performance is happening only when the performer vanishes.

Another easy example that any common person can understand is the experience oflistening.


17/75

Question here is how we normally listen and what is pure or real listening. When we

normally listens, the listener is fully active, the listener is one who tries to understandwhat he is listening to, who tries to validate the listened point with what he alreadyknows, one who accepts what is being listened or one who rejects it, All these arereferred as listener, actually it refers to the attention which tries to guide through listening

process. So essentially listener is combination of attention and thinking, which togethertries to control the activity of listening.

Actual listening or true listening or listening to the perfection of an any artist performance can happen only when this listener is totally absent. When the listenervanishes, only listening exists, it reaches its perfection. Recall the discussion on whywhen mind does technical work it out performance while in all other life activity it is

awkwardly failing and the reason mentioned about the level of freedom mind has to perform or solve a problem. From that context it is so obvious why, when the listener(controller or checker) is absent mind reaches perfection in is listening activity and sowith every other activity.

Now let us come back to the original question on the mystery of how Awareness enablesall other actions, now that we clearly understand, the actor (listener, dancer driver etc) isessentially, combination of witness, attention and thinking is absent for performancereaches its perfection. What is left out in ones mind, when witness, attention andthinking absent, is nothing but Awareness alone. We already discussed in detail how thisawareness is core foundation or reference to all minds functions, observations and

sensations. Thus all the actions that are going on when the actor vanishes are enabled andexecuted by Awareness, and thus it reaches it maximum performance, as this point, thereis no division between Awareness, mind, and the body, all gets synchronized and acts asone, without any friction or control from the actor.

In simple terms, when actor vanishes, mind reaches its state of perfection as it has infinitefreedom to act as it needs act, and it is free of all friction, conflict or divisions, thus


18/75

leading the state when Awareness, Mind and body are in sync with each other, thusanything that is performed reaches perfection by itself.

Can life as whole be led by Awareness?

Yes. Absolutely. When it can do all the activates as pointed out earlier, why it can leadthe life by itself? In this situation the life itself reaches it is perfection or completeness.When this happens, the actor vanishes forever without return. It is possible to reach thisstate only when things that are trying to control life are dropped, as we saw clearlycomplete freedom is essential for any performance to reach its perfection. When it comesto life, the same thing needs to happen. With little self-reflection, one can clearly see it isour desires/fears that tries to control the life as whole, when these are completely dropped,then the actor who is controlling the life will vanish, leading to the point whereAwareness takes care of life, or in other words, Awareness, Mind and body unificationtake care of the life, and life that we are living reaches its perfection.

What is Soul?

Awareness is Soul. Soul is Awareness. When actor vanishes, it is the soul that gets freedtotally, leading to the state of TRINITY, Where Soul, Mind and Body reaches completesynchronization and reaches the state of perfection in all that is doing.

At this point we have understanding that it is desires and fears that are the core thingswhich blocking our way to perfection in our life. So until desires/fears are dropped, Actor(controller) cannot vanish, blocking our way to perfection. Desire is problem even it is asgood desire as to reach GOD. Fear is problem even if it so legitimate as to save the life inthis body. Thus every single desire/fear has to be dropped. When they are dropped soul

is totally free and in this state, state of TRINITY, becomes so natural one, and he life becomes perfect so naturally, so effortlessly.

State of life in perfection is not reserved for just some one, it can come to anyone, at anytime when one s he is ready to drop the all his/her desires and fears.

---------------------------------------------------------------------


19/75

Direct Perception As It isExisting

This is a continuation of the discussion on The Mind As It is Existing and The Soul AsIt is Exists . Let us look have quick look at the presence and absence of actor to set thecontext to take the discussion to what it means by Direct Perception.

In the context of Actor that we had discussed let us have re-look at the listener.

As discussed earlier the listener is one who tries to understand what he is listening to,who tries to validate the listened point with what he already knows, one who acceptswhat is being listened or one who rejects it, All these are referred as listener.

Actual listening or true listening or listening can happen only when this listener is totallyabsent. When the listener vanishes, only listening exists, it reaches its perfection.

Who is Perceiver?

By now we have clear understanding on who is listener in the action of listening, who isdriver in the action of driving, who is dancer in the action of dancing, who is writer in theaction of writing, who is speaker in the action of speaking, who is drawer in the action ofdrawing etc etc.

Now the most important question is to understand who is perceiver of life in the action ofliving? And how he is playing his role which is similar to the above listener, driver,dancer, writer, speaker, drawer etc.

Other important question that we need to understand how this perceiver in the action of perception and how it is related to the title of this article of Direction perception?


20/75

The perceiver is playing the same role as played by every actor that we understand now,with the action of perception.

To understand this bit more clearly let us take example of what is happening when we observe(=perceive) something. For example what is happening inside us when we look at beautiful hilland when we are closing watching a tree?

First few seconds goes by the fact that we are lost in the beauty of the tree we are looking, butsoon, attention and thinking starts with an attempt to understand what this tree, what is the nameof this tree, what is the use of this tree etc ..soon these process goes into judgments how goodthis tree for us? How use full this tree to this world and the process of comparison of this tree withother trees etc .All these are going essentially because of an attempt to understand what isbeing observed in relation with the observer(=perceiver=attention, thinking, and memory) is doingthis. This observer is what is called perceiver in the general sense with all the perceptions,whether what we perceive is simply watching something, or listening something, or life as wholeon how it is now at this moment. In this example watching of beautiful tree and perception of itsbeauty is lost moment the perceiver comes to play. As with all other actors we discussed about,the watching beautify and its perfection gets lost the moment perceiver comes into play. Thuswatching the beauty of mountain, sea, forest or any other thing that we watch, cannot reach itsperfection and thus we cannot see the beauty as it exists and is completely corrupted by theinterference of the perceiver.

The same thing is true with all we do in our life. When we meet an person, the action of perceiveris in full swing, thus we cannot see the person clearly as he truly is, we cannot listen what he trulysaying in this moment, thus we totally see person who is not actually as he is now in front ofus .The same thing is happening all the persons we interact with, it does not matter howclose our relation with him or how distant it is in terms of relation.

This world that we perceive is all filled with persons only, so when we cannot see one person ashe exists in front of us clearly, we cannot also perceive this world as it is existing. As result thisentire process, we create imaginary persons in our mind, and we deal with them all the time. Asresult eventually we create imaginary world in our mind, and we are living in it all the time.

As result over all we cannot see anything as it exists right in front of us. So this life that we areliving in our mind, is imaginary life or maha maya. All the problems that we are continuouslysolving are the problems of this imaginary world in our mind, if not all, most of the problems (99%)are not real problem. So we struggle, so we are restlessly running from one place to other, andthus our life is filled with sufferings.

What is direct perception?


21/75

Now it very easy to understand what is direct perception. Answer is simple, all that we canperceive without the presence of perceiver (actor in the action of perception, attention, thinking,memory play in attempt to understand what is being perceived .) is direct perception.

When this perceiver disappears, and only perception goes on, then the act of perception reachesits perfection, in that action, still memory and thinking is used but totally and completely indifferent way, one might not even feel that these things are going on, they all go on at thesubconscious level as we discussed with the driving without driver. So here we need tounderstand this clearly that what need to be understood in the action perception will happen sospontaneously and automatically. If some understanding need to happen through some thinkingand memory that will happen by itself without the conscious presence of perceiver. So thisperception without perceiver is completely intelligence action and perfect action by itself withoutneed any external guidance or control from the any secondary aspect like the perceiver. Unlessone understand this very clearly as we saw in the case of driver and dancer etc, one cannotreach this state of perceiving without perceiver. When that happens, is the direct perception.

When the whole life goes in this state of direct perception, then we start seeing things as they

truly exists as result we see this world as it actually existing and functioning, in that seeing, theillusionary mind and the life of maya comes to its end. Actor in any form cannot survive in thismind, which has its purity in all actions of life life itself reaches its ultimately perfection in thisstate of direct perception.

One might tempt to ask, is there no problem exist in this world as it exists .Answer is verysimple there are, but they are seen as it exists in its original scale without any zooming in orzooming out .problems seen as it exactly as it comes and resolved to the level it need to beresolved ..in this world no problem handled for future or of the past ..only problem as it isexisting right now is seen as it is and resolved as it need to be resolved by natural flow oflife .from the ultimate source ..as flow of river .as like how river takes turn we it sees a rockhindering its flow without neither fighting with rock nor with holding the flow because ofrock with least resistance to what that need to happen with least rejection to what is

happening ..but simply flowing ..

Thus the life transforms itself, flows itself, respond itself with no residence to anything acompletely free and totally beautiful and bliss full flow ..

As result suffering comes to end once for all without any possibility to return as the perceiverdisappears once for all without any trace of return.

To end this article ..

Every one of us, Every human being now or in the past are trying to reach this state one or otherway .Most of us fail not because we are not intelligent enough to solve this problem butonly because we are going in the wrong direction to solve it ..the wrong direction heremeans ..we try to reach this state by solving the problems we observe in our mind, but the rightway is to question the existence of the problem itself that is posed by our mind to attack mindrather than solving the problem created by mind .

That is the only place we are going wrong, wasting year after year, decade after decade while thebeautiful state of direct living through direct perception is waiting for all of us .all these years ofour own internal struggle

Do we have capacity now to see it through now?


22/75

Check it out this question yourself Go deep .into your mind .as deep as possible ..Youwill find the right answer that you do have that capacity now .If only you want to see and feel itnow

Else many years will be lost which in other hand has potential take to a bliss full life right in thisphysical life where in this physical world.

Choice is in your hand and so is the full freedom to question everything that is being told to youby your own mind. All you need to do is to recognize the full freedom and the power that you haveto fully put your own mind under your scrutiny now.

Let GOD bless all of us.

Truth As It Is

Like existence of gravity field, there is a field ofawareness that exists like space around us,spread over the entire universe without any

beginning and ending in terms of time and spacedimension without any discontinuity in any

sense.

This field of awareness is the source ofevery thing that we perceive in thisuniverse. Everything arise from it and

dissolve back to it


24/75

Truth As It Is

Existence of this field of awareness

can not be proved in scientific senseas it is the ultimate reference to every

thing that exists in this universe.

But one can intuitively come to know ofpresence of this field of awareness in onesbody as one knows very intuitively that one

exists in this body.


25/75

Truth As It Is

The conscious mind that we have arise from thisfield, operate in it and dissolves back to it.

When one enters state of deep sleeptate, his conscious mind gets disovledin to this field of awareness or in other

words one merges himself with thisfield. This is happening every time oneenters his deep sleep state but one is

not aware of this truth


26/75

Truth As It Is When one attempts true and deep meditation,

one enters the same deep sleep state andmerge with this field. But here one has capacityto come to know of this truth that he is merging

one with this field of awareness.

As conscious mind comes into play,

his field of awareness is present in ourmind as background silence and one

has capacity to be with it, while mind isoperating in ones self


27/75

Truth As It Is

When one become one with this filed ofawareness while the mind is operating. All the

actions of mind goes by itself totally unconsciousor unnoticed with ultimate perfection.

When one is one with this field of

awareness, one goes beyond all theopposite states of normal mind andthus one does not experience theopposites like pleasure and pain


28/75

Truth As It Is

This field of Awareness is referred by many wayslike Emptiness, Pure Consciousness, Choice

Less Awareness, Paramathama, UniversalBeing, Beingness, Reality, GOD, Para

Pramamam, Formless Sivan, Father as referredby Jesus, Self, True Self, The Self and The

Soul.

Your Life is going as per yourdeepest desire

Questioner : I get a feeling that these talks about existence of GOD and his help to libratesouls are just bunch of words and imaginations filled. None them seems to be true to me?

Guru : Why do you say so?

Q: I have been going to temple and praying for more than 15 years now. But nothingseems to help me to get out of my sufferings. I get a feeling nothing really works. Thatwhat is leading to this feeling.

G: When some thing does not work, it simply means your deepest wish is not what itoutwardly looks to be.

Q : What you mean?

G: I mean, my be at the deepest level, your are not wishing GOD to come into your being.

Q: I told you, I have been praying for it and visiting so many temples. Most of the time, Iam in travel visiting every temples. How I can I suspect my true wish here.

G: The fact it is not working indicates that actual truth.

Q: Can you help me bit more in detail?

G: What we do or What we talk or What we think, all of this might not reallycommunicate to us, what is our souls deepest wish.

Q: Then what will indicate that?


30/75

G: The quality with which the action is going on, how much your soul and every bit of blood, every bit of your breath and how deeply all this is involved in what your are doing.

Q: I don't think I am getting what your pointing out here?

G: Have you talked to people who smoke a lot. If you ask them, Don't you know thatsmoking hurts your lungs so much and your life time will be reduced as result of it?.They will say yes, I know it. I feel sad that I am still smoking, I want to stop it but notable to etc etc etc. In this case, even though he is saying he wants to stop smoking, , eventhough he thinks like that, talks like that, feels bad about it, etc etc. The smoking does notstop. The reason is his deepest wish is that he enjoys somking, At deepest level, he likesit. At deepest level His real wihs is not to stop smoking. So it is goiing on. So eventhough words and feelings and thoughts are communicating otherway arround, smokingcontinues. Because in that person, His Deepest wish is to smoke and to have the

enjoyment he derives from somoking. The ulimate truth is very simple, Every one'sdeepest wish will be granted. None of wish will be denied ever. That is level of FreedomGOD has given to every soul. GOD will not touch it any time at any cost.

Q: Now I seems to get what you are pointing out.

G: If you understand this clearly, Then all you should ask your self (nonn verbally) andfind out what is your deepest wish here. What is the wish deepest wish in your soul andevery bit of your blood. Seek the answer and be honest, you will be revealed the truth,

and the actuallity of your wish. Don't get cheated by what you talk, what you think andwhat you say to other and what you outwordly etc etc. All of them will be misleading you.So none of the thing, without knowing this will work, you will be simply wasting yearafter year........

Q: I see.

G: The same think is true when people meditate for so many many years and feel that itdoes not work at all........In simple terms, any action without full and complete

involvement of soul's deepest wish will not bring the desired effect. For example Many people meditate not with deepest wish to merge with GOD, but to improve their mind, orto get some beatiful experiences etc etc.......So they will get what they deeply wish attheir soul but not merging with GOD........Many people visit temple and do prayer assome way of spending good time with good thoughts good environment to be thereetc.......They will get that good time and good thughts....but that's all...not a bit more thanwhat they deeply wish.....So watch out very clearly......What is the deepest wish of yours.What ever that is, what will be granted. It will not be denied.....But also know that not bit


31/75

more that that will be given.......Such happening will be interfernce with the freedomgiven to Soul by GOD.

Q: But one may be ignorant of this.

G: That is one of the way mind cover ups or clouds one's one eye, one is trying to do.Purest intellegence is given to all souls equally. One always knows, what one soul'sdeeply wish to happen and that will happen for sure. If it is wealth, wealth will come, if itis power, power will come, if it is some social position, that socil position will come, if itis good health, good health will come, if it good mediation experience, that meditationexperience will come, if it feeling of good prayer, that good feeling of prayer willcome........same way if it is merging with GOD, merging with GOD will happen. Nothingwill be denied now and never.

Q: All your saying is All that will happen to one's life, is actually their deepest wish attheir heart. So when some thing is not happening, all one need to visit one's heart deepestlayers and ask honest question of what is their real and actual wish there?

G: Yes. One's one sees this through and does it all the time, One will not mislead one'sself.

Q: Thank you for clarifying this question that I had so many years now.

G: GOD Bless you.

Real and Abstract Worlds Before we can look into the Real and Abstract worlds of our mind, let us look at some

basic aspects/definitions that every one of us experience in our day to day life to form a

platform for main discussion on this most important topic.

What is word?

Every word in any given language is an abstract thing in our mind that relates our mind tosomething that exists outside our mind in the external physical world. For example theword bicycle in our mind relates to that which is bicycle in the physical world. Herewe need to understand clearly that word bicycle does not exist in external physicalworld but only the object that is actually bicycle exists in the physical world. Eventhough one can live ones life by directly using the object bicycle without having touse the word bicycle in our mind, words has enormous use in our day to day life as it is

the only thing that enables thinking in our mind. Without words, there is no such thing asthinking in our mind.

What is Abstract word?

There are so many words in our mind that does not have any relation to anything thatexists in the external physical world. For example the word Truth. The external

physical world there is no such thing that exists that could be related to this word Truth .This word Truth points to an idea or concept or philosophy that is constructed withinour mind using many other set of words that has meaning only in our mind. These wordsare Abstract words and the feelings/effects that such words creates is abstraction, mean

not real, mean not having anything to do with whatever that exits in reality. This is sotrue, even though many times, this world actually used to point to reality. This ishappening because till the point one gets realized, he has no clue of what this wordsultimately points to.

What is real world?


36/75

In our mind, thinking is one of the core functions. When this thinking is happeningdealing only with those words that could be related to something in external physicalworld and without involving any of the abstract words, creates feeling of real world. Forexample we feel thirsty, and we ask a person who is standing by, where I can get word,he says go straight, turn left there is room, go inside that room, there is water bottle there,

you can take water from that water bottle. Then we remember all he said, then go and dothings conveyed through what all said and take the water to quench our thirsty. In thiswhole event, many actions are involved, many words are involved, many thinki ngs areinvolved, finally leading to physical action of drinking water to meet our thirsty need.

Like this we are doing so many complex thing like driving car, driving to some definitelocation, many problems that we face in our life are solved in very same way withoutinvolving any of the abstract words or its related thinking. Part of our life, where this typeof things are going on involving our mind, memory, thinking, talking, listening,understanding, communicating, physical actions etc etc. All this put together is referredas real world.

What is Abstract world?

Now it is relatively easy define Abstract world. All that we do using thinking, analysis,actions, communication, listening, understanding etc. that is not part of above explainedreal world, is Abstract world. To make it clear, Abstract world, essentially created fromthe thinking we engage ourselves by involving abstract words.


37/75

The best example for this is idea that we have on the word GOD or similar words likeLord Siva, Lord Krishna Reality, Soul etc. All the thinking that we engageourselves with these abstract words and its related ideas & concepts, analysis, and thesearch we are doing in our mind with these abstract words and its meanings,explanations, listening, talking and understandings using these words and concepts, all

these leads to Abstract world in our mind. In our life, apart from the time, we living in thereal world, rest of the time we actually live in this abstract world. It is a dark worldwithout any light in it as none of the words in this world relate to anything that exists inthe external physical world until the point time where self-realization happens in one self.Such realization is a rare event in our human life, as result most of the humanity is reallyliving in this abstract world of darkness. Even our religious life, spiritual life,

philosophical lives are happening within this abstract world of darkness until the point ofself-realization.

What happens in Self-Realization?

While in normal life, our mind is living in both real and abstract worlds.

The life in real world does never create any suffering at all. This is so because here thingsare seen as they exists and dealt with correctly.

The life in Abstract world is life in darkness. The word darkness used here because hereone is essentially living in imaginations created by ideas from Abstract words and itsrelated thinking. This life creates so much suffering in our life, simply because this isimagination fuelled life, in this world mind cannot see things as they exists, here ideasand concepts are treated as real things and actions are taken on that basis, so inevitably

leads to suffering and mistakes all the time. This is the sole reason for suffering in our life, because Abstract world is not real world but an imaginary world in which, the only person who lives here is the person who created it, no one else. In this world, we arereally living alone. As result suffering is inevitable in this world

When Self-realization happens in one, part of the mind that lives in Abstract world isdestroyed without any way of returning back. This happens so naturally without anyeffort from one as one sees the total illusion of this mind and unreality of this mind in itstotality. When this seeing happens, this mind falls by itself. Leading to a life, in which themind lives only in the real world not even minute is spend in the abstract world. Fromthis time on words ones mind does not engage anything any abstract things at all.


38/75

At this point mind becomes completely transparent as crystal clear water and things areseen and perceived as they exist. This is the point where mind gets completely purifiedwhere the mind gets ability to see things of this world as they truly exists and deals withthem so perfectly and as correctly as needed. This brings end human to the suffering oncefor all.

What can really enable this Self-Realization?

If you have really walked through this discussion, without neither accepting what is saidnor rejecting what is said, through true reading (reading without the reader) and actuallytook part in this important discussion, then the answer will be so obvious and simple.

The true answer is feel the need to go beyond words. Penetrate the mind without usingthe words. Thinking survives only when words are used. There can be no thinking whenwords are not allowed be in the mind. All that could there in ones mind, which is notengaging any words, is complete silence. So regularly spending quality time in completesilence, doing all that would enable true silence for longer period of time will eventuallylead to Self-Realization. This the reason why Meditation is given so much importance forenabling Self-Realization as it helps one to penetrate one mind beyond words.


39/75

When one goes to mediation regularly, day will come where complete illusion ofAbstract world of the mind will be seen, as the seeing happens the nut shellof this mind will break itself leading to Self-realization so spontaneously and soeffortlessly.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Accepting Yourself as YouAre

Before we can look into how and why we should accept ourselves as we, let us look atsome basic aspects that every one of us observes in our life.

What is Karma?

Every action like thinking, analysis, judgments, response to a given event, nonresponse toa given event, interaction through talking, listening, seeing and all physical actions weengage with all constitute our Karma. In short all that we do and did as person within ourmind and outside our mind right from the time we are born to this world constitutesKarma.

What is Law of Karma?

If our Karma is good, they bring good to us, if they are bad they will bring bad to us.These good and bad are independent of each other, mean good things will neitherneutralize nor cancel with the bad things. Both good and bad as per our Karma will keepcoming back to us. Also Karma is most powerful thing or aspect of our life, because eachKarma, that we do whether good or bad, creates deeper impressions in our mind, thatintern will lead to many more Karma in the future. Thus this cycle is going on endlesslyin our life. Has depth full impact on our mind, thus will lead to future Karma. Like anyother physical law in this universe (like law of gravity), Karma also flows with its ownlaw. It is some time referred as law of Karma. Our life as whole is completely bound by

this law of Karma

Does this Law of Karma is just limited personal level?

No. The most important fact is that this law of Karma does just limit itself with a single person, all we said for single person is completely applicable at family level, at everygroup level, country level and this world level. At individual level, we said the good and

bad things come one as per his Karma, now this also true these different levels, thus one


41/75

will receive good and bad things not only just from what he did in his entire life, but alsofrom what has been done at his family level, various group level, country level and worldlevel. This impacts also what future Karma one will do in the future. Thus when one doessomething at given point of time, is controlled by ones own karma, karma form hisfamily, karma from all the groups he belongs to, karma from his country and the karma of

this entire world. And the same is true what happens as family, as any group, as countryand as world. All these follows law of Karma, in essence anything thathappens at any point of time, at any level, at any place in this world is sortof controlled from this law of Karma. So power full is this Law of Karma and it isin operation now and will be so forever like law of gravity in operation now and so will

be forever.

When one will be able to accept oneself as one is?

Every individual is a product of Karma at all level, mean personal level, group level,country level and world level. A person is combination of impact of all these levels ofKarma. A person is so because all the Karmas at all level was so, aninevitable creation of Law of Karma. The way one is inevitably so because it isfully bounded and controlled by Law of Karma. When you see odd person at some place,he looks to be odd only in your eyes, but actually he is inevitably like so because of lawof Karma. He can be no way different from what he is. He is so because all the pastkarmas at al l level were so. Or in other words, He is like so, because the entireworld was as it was from the time world got created to this moment. Wishinghe should be different than what he is now, is like making a wish to change the law ofgravity to be different from what it is. It is as meaningless as that.

In other words, everyone is as they are because the world was as it was, or in other words,the world is as it is because of the fact the way world was at different point of time fromthe time world got created.

If you have waked through this discussion till this point, then it will be so obvious toyou, that you are what you are in a very inevitable way. Wishing yourself to

be different from what you are is like wishing to change the law of karma,which controls the entire universe as the any other physical law like law ofgravity.

If this fact dance in mind now, the spontaneously and effortlessly, you will be able acceptfully as what you are. When one heart fully accepts what one is, immediately andeffortlessly one will accept all other person as they are and as result one will be able tocome to state of mind where one fully accept the world as it exist now.

What happens when you accept yourself as you are?


42/75

At the fundamental level, we struggle all the time, because we cannot accept what we are.So we keep struggling all through our life, trying to change ourselves all the time. We gofor so many trainings, we read so many books, we listen to so many people, all with ahope, and one day I will change from what I am to something else . Almostwithout exception, this something is the ideal personality that we have created from those

personalities we held as role models in our mind and all the time we struggle to reach that.And we strongly believe and hope that a day will come when this change will completeso our struggle continues for ever.

As we do nt accept what as we are, we dont accept all others that we areinteracting with, so our struggle does not limit to changing ourselves but continues

beyond us to change all others whom we are interacting with. Struggle is more withothers when they are more closely related to us. Closer the relation more is thestruggle , example the notice the struggle we have to change our sons/daughter, spouse,

brother and this list cannot end. Thus feeling for need to change is a very complex aspectin us, that demands change the way our relations are, change the way we work at office,change the way our family life is going on, change the our community life, essentiallychange all the way one lives his life. All our life efforts are going in this one fundamentalstruggle.

We are neither at peace with oneself, nor with our family, nor with our office and norwith our society because we are internally struggling to change the things as they are tosomething else. Many times we have great vision for that change, and we talk aboutworking towards greater cause, greater vision etc. And our whole life goes in this struggleand unfortunately we are so happy that we are struggling to change while we

are actually trying to break the unbreakable law of Karma. This obviously turnsour whole life, from one frustration to other, coming endlessly one after another, thusturning our whole life more and more hopeless.

As discussed previously, when one comes to a clear understanding of law of karma, at alllevel, and come to state of mind of accepting one self and everyone else, there by acceptthe whole world as it is. Then spontaneously ends our entire struggle that has


43/75

been going on all through our life , once for all. Complete stops without any need toconvenience us on the need to stop it.

When this happens, at once there is complete peace in one s mind, as consequence of thiscomplete peace in oneself, we start to perceive peace at family, at office, at communityand at the world as there is complete acceptance of all that is going in this external world.

This spontaneously makes everything fall in place so automatically so beautifully, that allour relations becomes so beautiful and turns so good. Because there is infinite peacewithin one s mind, it spreads itself to the family, office and entire community. Ourwhole life suddenly turns itself to be so beautiful as result of internallyreached peace of mind.

What happens when one reaches peace of mind within one s self?

As seen above, this peace is reached as effortlessly as one stops struggling, in this statethe actor of life in one s mind loses its purpose and thus vanishes from one s mind oncefor all. As we had discussed in the earlier article on Soul As It Is , this leaves the mindempty of all its contents, thus mind as we know dissolves.

To such mind, true meditation happens spontaneously leading to merger of oneself withall that it is, the universal being or awareness. Eventually what happens to one is Self-Realization and merger of oneself with GOD or the only thing that alone exists in thisuniverse.

---------------------------------------------------------------------


44/75

A Long Journey Our life is a long journey spreading over multiple births in which

we are travelling alone, without having any clue of when the destination willcome and how it will come, with heavy burned that we are carrying in our heart and mind.

When you are in office with all colleagues, has it ever occurred to you that the way you perceive and feel your job and your company is so unique with its unique flavors andvariety that none of other person can match with?

When you are with your friends, has it ever occurred to you, that the way you perceiveand feel your values of this human life, is so unique with its unique flavors that none ofyour friends can match with?

When you are at your home with your wife, son, daughter, father and mother, has it everoccurred to you that the way you perceive and feel your family is so unique with itsunique flavors that none of your family member can match with?

When you are at temple or a spiritual place with your religious / spiritual friends, has itever occurred to you perceive and feel GOD or reality is so unique with its unique flavorsthat none of your religious or spiritual friends can match with?

Essentially, has it ever occurred to you that you are actually alone all the time, that noone else can ever know you or your feelings and its values irrespective of the fact howmuch ever effort you make to communicate that?


45/75

Even when you feel there is some one here who seems to be close to you in one aspect ofyou, will be totally different in other aspects ..even though close person is seems to

travelling along with you, Has it ever occurred to you that he is actually travelling in histravel in his own way and so you are actually travelling alone?

Even though everything and everyone seems to be there around you in material or physical sense all the time, has it ever occurred to you that you are always alone?

Have you ever noticed this simple fact in your life?

As you notice this, you will also notice that you travel is so long, with you having no clueabout its destination neither any one will be able to help you with that.

All this is simple truth about your life. This is an absolute fact. It is so because theuniquely experience this world with unique body/mind instrument. Uniqueness of thisyour body/mind and the way you feel is coming from the unique combinations of thegenes that got formed when the first cell of this body/mind structure got created, leadingunique way of experience and the unique learning s from that experiences. All thiscreates the unique way you perceive this life and this world leading to point where youre alone travelling a long journey with no one near to you can help you.

So this life of yours is long journey which crossing over multiple births and you aretravelling alone.

Has this simple fact ever accrued to you as clearly as you could see clean water, withoutany doubt about it?

If so then you will stop looking outside for guiding you, because outside world there is noone who knows you fully as you are and your unique personality.

When this fact dance in your mind, then immediately you will come to know that seekinghelp from outside will not help you in your long journey. As you see this truth, it will


46/75

immediately spark the other simple fact that you can to turned around and go deep insideas the only one who can really help you is the GOD who is inside you waiting for youall through this long journey.

There will start the inner journey. Also as it start you will realize that all the material

success that you might have got in your external life, even though has brought you the asuccessful life in material sense, has not helped much in your long life journey which hascrossed over multiple births. Rather, such success and the desire for continued succeedhas taken away all the energy that you have, which otherwise would have turned aroundtowards inner journey.

If you can see through this another simple fact, you will see each material success thathas come to you, has made you to fail in your real life journey in deeper sense.

There is saying that says, desires when fulfilled gets multiplied and creates more desires.The same thing is completely true for the material success we achieve in our life, whichcreates more desires/craving for more success, that sucks our life totally into this cycle ofdesires and take full life energy into this external direction, and thus the life becomes acomplete failure in the real life journey.

This however does not mean we should not attempt to succeed in ourexternal life, without some level of success in the external life; the life forcein us will lose its confidence, which is most important factor needed tosucceed in the real life journey.

But at the same time, we need to see through the life destructive situation where desiresare getting multiplied all the time and thus leading to complete failure in the real

journey.

If one can see both sides of this external life and the fact that each success in the externallife is becoming bottle neck for real life journey, then one will be able to say no tocontinued craving for continues material successes one after another ..

At this point only heart will feel that what I have materially is more than enough andfeeling to put lot of effort towards to real journey of life.


47/75

Then comes the real life journey with full force toward inner world leading to themerger with GOD or realization of who one really is. When this happens, the long

journey which went across multiple births, come to end as the real destination ismerging with one who alone exists.

Whether one knows it or not, everyone is travelling towards this real and final destinationin their life journey. Some reaches it in this life time itself .some after many many lifetimes. Even though there is opportunity and potential for everyone to reach thedestination in this physical life time itself.

Everything depends on you recognizing your true life journeyand start moving toward that direction.

---------------------------------------------------------------------


48/75

Real Life Journey As It Is Our real life journey which is passing through multiple lives is passing through thesestages in this physical life.

Stage 0: Stage of Innocence

This stage extends from the time we are born to this physical life, till the time ego beginsto develop. In this period the soul is in the stage of complete innocence. It is aware ofnothing. The consciousness of the mind is completely empty of all its content, thus theconsciousness is pure and there is no difference between consciousness and awareness inthis stage. One can say stage of pure being as it is in this stage. This reason why kid inthis stage is said to be GOD himself, all that is there is pure universal being or awareness.In this stage there is no touch or feel of ego in the consciousness.

Stage 1: Evolving of Ego

This stage where ego starts to develop or idea of one self as separate soul that is separatefrom all that is seen from the outside world. This idea starts developing in very inevitable


49/75

manner as the kids starts to feel that it is hearing something that parents are trying to sayand it is able to say something to its parent and the experience of its independentexistence. The feeling like it needs to take care of itself etc. all starts happening. As itevolves it comes to an understanding of who is their parent and what are its relation withthem, and its relation with rest of the world. As this ego develops, it picks up all the ideas

about who are their parent, what is their past life, who are his parents parents and howthey are related, what is his family and how it is related to other families, and how allthese families are related to its community, its relation with country and the world aswhole. Every ideas forms in this stage and gets firm ground in its consciousness as egowith center strong iron like pillar that gives feeling that I am separate person who liveswith separate soul, independent to the rest of this universe. In this stage only past life of

parents, their desires and fears, their unfulfilled desires, all gets its impression on to theconsciousness of this kid, which was originally empty of all such contents, beliefs ordisbelief, along with these, desires and fears of family, community , country and worldgets its due place in the consciousness of the kid . All these happens with childs wonfeelings and expression through its genes and its interaction, evolves its own unique ego,

along with this, the same impressions from the family level, community level, countryand world levels gets its due and firm place in the kids consciousness. The impressions oreffects of past life karma gets its firm place in the ego and thus ego starts continuing itslife from here.

Stage 2: Fully developed Ego

In previous stage of development of ego gets completed and forms a firm ego whichstarts it won unique life. This stage can be recognize more or less clearly, this is the stagewhere one feels I know enough to take care of my life myself. In this stage, the personknows who he is and how he is related to this external world at all levels. At this stage,most of the beliefs, disbeliefs, desires and fears, one strengths and weakness are all getsfirmed up.

At this stage where person ego has fully formed in the consciousness, it is important tonote two fundamental facts. O ne is about Genes and the other is aboutconsciousness/mind. Gene which is creating the entire body has impact of Karma, fromhis parents, fore parents, family, fore families, community, country and the world. In that

one gene represents all the impressions of Karma from all levels, this gene represent itsown unique evolution from the time this world got created. Even though this is little easyto see through, the same is true with ego/consciousness/mind, because its impressionsrepresents impacts from all karmas from all levels from the past. This ego represents itsown unique evolution from the time this world got created. Thus both the body and mind

present all the past karmas at all levels. This is the reason why it is said that yourlife is continuation of so many multiple lifes, rather to be accurate correct,millions of past lives, is represented in a unique way in this one body/mindcomplex. This is why it is said that what and way you are, is because of theentire world was the way it was from the time it was created.

Stage 3: Life of Ego

From the time, the ego has firmed up or fully developed in consciousness and till thenutshell of mind breaks, is a life of ego. It is almost our entire life as we are living in this

world. In this life only we are building on current life karma and its cycle. As the life egogoes on, there are all feelings of opposites are experienced for example, success andfailure, pleasure and pain, happiness and sadness, struggle and sufferings etc., one persongoes through all these as per his destiny and this life is fully under the control of law ofKarma and its cycle. Our lives of education, job, family, religion, spiritualityetc. all are going on with this life of ego. This life of ego has its own variousstages , but cannot be clearly distinguished from each other, a stage of disbelief where onestrongly believes that there is no such thing as GOD or reality, a stage one doubts this

belief, a stage one starts believing the possibility for the existence of GOD, a stage ofreligious life, a stage where search for GOD happens, reading and listening to variousteachings about the reality of existence of GOD, a stage where serious search happens.Life goes nears end of its stage when one firmly and clearly goes deeper and deeper in hissearch for GOD, almost all the time, his mind is towards this direction, one goesthrough and tries everything he can do to end this search happens. This is anindication of end of life an ego going to end.

Stage 4: Breaking of Nut shell of ego


51/75

As the spiritual search deepens in the stage of ego, as one goes deeper anddeeper in the direction of true prayer, true self enquiry, true knowledge, andtrue meditation. In this stage the status of ego is that it struggles to maintain its statusgo, defend itself as much as possible. A full-fledged war is going on in this stagein ones consciousness, a war between what is truth and real and what isfalse and transient. As this war becomes more and more vigorous, a day will comewhere Nut shell of ego breaks and the illusionary world of ego is seen its fullview. Fall that happens in one s life is dictated by one s ego till its nutshell

breaks.

Stage 5: Melting of ego

After nutshell of ego is broken, influence of ego on ones body/mind starts melting,slowly but firmly and progress is made very firmly towards full realization the soul.During this stage, there is full internal guidance from the awareness (Satguru) happens fully and firmly, slowly taking the body/mind to the state of

realization. Very soon the ego is fully destroyed and disappears from the body/mind.

Stage 6: Life of realized soul


52/75

After the ego disappears from the consciousness without any possibility of return, the body/mind is completely freed from the personality and the awareness takes over the lifefrom this time till the physical destruction of this body.

In this stage only, this world is seen as it exists for the first time in the life of body/mind. Here everything is seen with crystal clear clarity. In this stage, noimagination has any power of what so ever. Here the life in this body is totally freed from

past and there is no question about future, all that is felt and dealt with is presence andwhat is directly perceived in the now. Thus burden of time leaves from this life. As in thislife, one knows who one really is, one knows one alone exists beyond the body to theentire universe, so burden of space leaves from this life. Life is truly free from timeand space, past and future, birth and death cycles. In this stage only life isfully lived and with its real purpose.

Thus the Real life journey finally completes its journey, the true purpose of

life gets accomplished.

Humanity has limitlessCompassion, Love, Passion

The Compassion that a Mother shows to herchild, it is Limitlessly high.

When this human being shows Love to someone, it is Limitlessly high

When this human being shows passion towardssome thing in this life, it is Limitlessly high


54/75

While all the above capacities ofa human being is true and

honest

The living beings that can not talk or fight for protecting itself

How this humanity is so heartless when itcomes to deal with.


55/75

This humanity heartlessly kills

Millions of animals every dayto feed itself.

What makes such divergentconflict possible for thishumanity?


56/75

Probably same thing is alsocausing

To manufacture and sell hundreds of ultimatelypoisonous things (like cigarettes, alcohols, pan

parag, woodka etc etc)

Which are killing the part of thishumanity every day


57/75

We accept all this and thishumanity in our heart and

mind

This acceptance probably causing our ownhearts to become like stone to our own

sufferings


58/75

So we have taken oursufferings for granted and wesay one has to suffer to live and

as result

Three BasicThings

Three basic things (foundation) that is must forany one to accomplish his wish with stunning

performance.

Weather it is kid or an adult or an old person istrying to accomplish his wish, these three basic

things remains same

What are these three basic things?


61/75

Three Basic Things

Shall we consider the an simple wish to win 100meter race?

Instead of looking at these three things throughthree words, Can we look at these threeimportant things through simple practical

example.


62/75

First Important thing

A very healthy body

Without a healthy body, one can not evenmove, so this is an most obvious thing for

wining our 100 meter race, right?

By default our body goes to lazy state, so weneed to regularly put the body to the opposite

state, which is obviously regular physicalexercise.

So First obvious thing is the regular physical exercise


63/75

Second Important thing

Regular Practice

Even with a healthy body, if one has not donevery good practice in running, one cant win the

our 100 meter race, right?

By default we tend to go in the direction ofless effort to get things done, so we need to

push our self towards the opposite thisdirection, which is obviously regular effort

So Second obvious thing is the regular effort


64/75

Third Important thing A very healthy mind

Even if one as sound healthy body and hasdone regular practice if the mind is not fully

present in the present moment, one can not winthe race, so this is the third obvious thing for

wining our 100 meter race, right?By default our mind goes into so much of

thinking and restlessness and thus can neverbe in the present moment fully. We need thus

put our mind in the opposite state, which isobviously in silence or meditation

So Third obvious thing is the Regular Meditation


65/75

So the three basic things are

Regular physical exerciseRegular Effort

Regular Meditation

This is so true weather ones wish is as simpleas to win 100 meter race or

Passing an University exam orBecoming a CEO of a company

orIt is a highest wish that one can have for this

entire life - Self realization


66/75

Bad and Good News.

Consistent Physical Exercise, Effortand Meditation

By default nature we are not inclined towardsthese three things so by default nature we are

bound to fail

Good news is if we do these three basicthings, then stunning performance inaccomplishing any wish is bound to come

Thus weather you Succeed or Fail in any of

our wish is totall in our hand

Experiencing Positive Spiral inones Life

Simple actions that we are doing in our day to day life, when changed, can turn aroundour life through positive spiral. To really understand this, let us go in detail about whatconstitutes what we generally call as character of a person

What is Action (in the context of this article)?

Simple things that we regularly do in our day to day life, for example, drinking ofmorning coffee. They are so such simple thing, but very consistent and regular. They areso deeply ingrained in our body/mind that if one day, if we are in a situation that we arenot able to have that morning coffee, we feel so uncomfortable that day. We seesomething is missing or something is wrong. Right?

Such doing leads to very bad habits. Bad habit is mentioned here, because such consistentdoing, make our body/mind to be addicted to it, without it we are not comfortable. Justtaking a cup of coffee is not a problem at all, but if it creates a feeling without that thereis something wrong, then it is indication that it has already turned itself towards addiction.

This is not problem only with bad actions like taking cigarettes regularly which slowlykills ones lungs finally reduces once most important period of life the golden old age.The intensity of this problem is same, even if it is regular good habit like a regularMorning Prayer, regular morning meditation etc. Because of the same reason, that whenwe miss them for a day, then we feel something wrong on that day.

So irrespective of good or bad habit, anything we do so regularly or so religiously, will bind us. Any habit can bind us, is bad habit. In this article we are talking about thesetypes of actions that take us to regular habit (knowingly or unknowingly) slowly then

bind us totally with it.
