Nature

Hi there...

   Well sorry for not updating the blog for a long time.... But the experiences which i had in this past 1 month were, are and will be remembered for my entire lifetime... As the wise men had been saying find out what is your nature??? 

   On some point of time till you are observing, interrogating yourself... you find out that everything is happening according to what and how it is supposed to be happening... for people who think that they are doing this and doing that... Its true... for them doing is an act by which they feel that they achieve something... the funniest part is that till they realise that everything is happening they are in misery... once you realize everything is happening then all the struggle is lost... the so called War is finished... you are centered... till the next storm of course... 

   What is the true nature of You!!! Sit with yourself and find out... The Master says that your true nature is Love... Unconditional Love... Very few fortunate ones actually know what is this unconditional love... Everything is this nature is unconditional... Everything is there just for you to enjoy... and not get stuck in it... The Nature loves you Unconditionally... that is the Nature

s nature (prakriti ka swabhav)... But what is your true nature... As you are the part of this Nature so its your nature too... 

   Now the whole thing is that all this fundas are very nice in hearing and logically understanding... But when it comes to living???? Well i dont know How many can actually live it... On an experiential level!!!!!! 

   So one way of finding out is you can sit and explore what all is not your true nature... Ultimately you should reach there... I hope so... I ll be there... Or i am there... I dont know...

Bhakti ((Devotion)

This is another path to enlightenment... In many of the scriptures it is said to be a part of Yoga... Bhakti Yoga... Where you immerse yourself in devotion to the Divine, to the Master...

As the name suggests it is the Union with/of as by the means of Bhakti (Devotion)... Bhakti!!! What exactly is this??? There are millions of explanations given in the scriptures... According to Narad muni who has written the Bhakti Sutras there are 11 types of Bhakti...

During my observation the awareness about the Bhakti or just to put it in words exist on 3 different planes of existence... Deh Bhava, Jeev Bhava & Atma Bhava... experience of devotion when you are in any of these 3 planes... In physical body, In individual Consciousness and In the Collective Consciousness...

When in Deh Bhava "I" am your servant!!!

When in Jeev Bhava "I" am a part of YOU!!!

And when in Atma Bhava "I" am YOU!!!

Each and every one has experienced this in some or the other Lifetime... This is the ultimate sthiti of Bhakti (state of Devotion) ... This Bhakti was the extra attribute(kala) of Hanuman over Lord Ram... If you are in this stage of Devotion you will be invincible... And Immortal... The Masters grace will protect you from any given troubles... That was the mistake of Hunuman.. He is liberated yet bound to this body... hehehehehe...

That is one way of Bhakti Yoga... There are many ones... There are 7 Immortals depending upon their type of Bhakti...All of these went on to become the Pinnacle of their type of Devotion. they are :-

1) Ashvatthama - Revenge

2) Bali - Donation (giving Daan)

3) Vyas - Seeking Knowledge

4) Krupacharya - Kraurya (Hatred I think so)

5) Parshuram - Valour

6) Hanuman - Service

7) Vibhishan - Treachery

All these are the immortals cuz they went on to become the Best in some or the other form of Devotion!!!

But all the truth is there in this Beautiful "NOW" Be in Now and Be happy, Be Nothing and Be Devoted... There is always somethings more to write on this topic.... So till the next Post...

Chill Maddi... ADIOS :-)

Sleeping Beauty

Hi

   Remember when we were kids ( I still am one ) we used to listen to stories... Few from Grandmothers and few in our school text book... Few as bedtime stories... And there was a story of a beautiful princess having sleep disorder... not insomnia of course... she was laden with a curse till she find real love.... Amazing story....

   But I am not talking about that Sleeping Beauty... I will like to share my experience when i was traveling from Amravati ( Maharashtra ) to Ahmedabad in a train... It was a very nice journey... A long one cuz the train was late... 2 hrs... and reached Ahmedabad 4 n half hours late... But the whole point is not about the complains of trains getting late and the driver sleeping off... hehehehe... It was a night journey... and I was not able to sleep as i had slept during the day after the lunch at a Rajasthani family's golden jubilee anniversary of a old couple... so u can imagine how was the food...

   Well so there i was not able to sleep... So i went and opened the door of my bogey and was standing at the door feeling the beautiful wind caressing me... Out there was a sky with so so many stars... Rare sight for a city dweller... and the entire creation was.... Just Sleeping... Well whatever i was able to see was sleeping... and then i realized that how Beautiful the sleeping nature was looking... each and every tree, the ground, the grass, the stones everything was just sleeping peacefully... And I was like " Guys this is the real Sleeping Beauty!!! " 

   There were very few lights which according to me were street lights... and few of the cars and trucks light on the highway which was coming across the path of the Train... Rest everything was just simply Sleeping... Beautifully Sleeping... This according to me is the Real Sleeping Beauty!!! Isn't it???

  Try this when you are traveling in a train and couldn't sleep... Just stare out of the window (to be on a safer side) and take a look at the resting Nature... I know that the nature is alive in the night also... but forget Logic and just experience the Sleeping Beauty...

Surekha - I mean Eurekka

If you are taking care of your own mind... The Master doesn't need to look at you... He looks only if there is a change required in you or there is trouble in the mind...
If you are taking care of your own mind then there is no feverishness or craving for the look or an appreciation or a gesture of acknowledgment... Just that there is a Longing which is out of fullness, completeness for that one look that communication in silence but no craving...
And there is a possibility of this happening vice verca also... But that is not my experience...

Be Longing

Hello there
I was doing the Sri Sri Yoga TTC and during that one fine day i was singing at the satsang and i had an amazing experience which i would like to share...
All these years doings satsangs at the Ashram and at other places I used to sing out of Longing... but that day i realized that there are 2 different types of longing... One is the longing in which there is a lack... something missing... and u r longing for it... and the other one is Longing out of Fullness... There is longing but no cravings attached to it... free of lack... which is way too high that any other type of longing... It is in this state you are totally free yet with the Longing... just Being with the Longing... Be(ing) Longing = Belonging.... :-)

Interesting na....hehehehe stay tuned for more...

Realizations!!!!!!

Hiiii

    Ever wondered from where and how these realizations come up... U suddenly spring up in your seat saying Eurekkkaaaa... the best part is that its already there in the consciousness... Many people before you have known it and many people after you will be knowing it... Its important that you know it... All the knowledge there is in this entire universe is present in the consciousness... 

   Till you awareness level reaches that level and you say that u realized something... All this game is of awareness... As the formula says Knowledge = ( Information + Experience ) X Awareness 

   All the knowledge is connected to each other in some or the other way... Knowledge as we say it... Sometimes!!!!! Well most of the time we say many things we know but actually we don`t....

   This can be a natural phenomenon if there is Practice...

Later...

Love

Hey there

   Now this is a topic on which anyone can just go on n on... But to understand this Beautiful gift of the Divine first we need to observe our inner atmosphere for the changes happening and what kind of distortions exists in us... Once we get to know the distortions we can dive deeper into ourselves and find out what is the true nature of the Being is...

  As Sri Sri says that Love is our Nature... I was just thinking how is this Love our nature and the entire creation is made up of Love... So I was just pondering over n got this... Its 1 try... Here goes...

   Love as all the Enlightened Master of all time has said to be the Nature of the Divinity, Creation, Consciousness.... To understand this we must see it from a point of view of Dwaita(Duality) as well as Adwaita (Non-Dual)...

   in Dwaita or individual Consciousness there is a tendency to respond to another individual... Its the Nature of the Consciousness to Respond to one another... Well the Medium on which this response happens, Barter System of Information happens... It is Love... It is through this medium of Love everything from information to Karma to what all and what not happens... 

   In Adwaita or non duality everywhere there is Love... no Medium is required as there is no individual. Its just one unique Divine Consciousness... Like the Fish in the Water, the Water is its life and its everywhere around the Fish... and also inside the Fish... just as an example... So the Big mind or the ultimate universal Consciousness is Love...

   This can go on and on as this is a never ending subject... Comments are welcomed...JGD
