Miracles are Obstacles

Keep away from miracles. Especially when you think it is working through you. Why?

Miracle is something that which you do not understand. If you think that you are capable of doing miracles, that means that you are capable of something which you do not understand. Which in-turn means that, that which you do not understand can bind you and you won't even know because you don't understand anything in this process.

Claiming miracles is simple an obstacle for you. Do not claim any miracles, do not give them importance. Let world praise you, let loved ones encourage you, but do not move. Let world enjoy useless miracles, you stay silent.

Guilt is like Dust on the Mirror

What happens when there is dust on the mirror surface? You cannot see yourself clearly, sometimes you see something else, illusion of a black spot on your face may appear and you may be worried because of that.

Similar thing happens when you have guilt. Guilt is one of the greatest enemies of seeker of truth. It is certainly like dust on the mirror and does not let you see yourself properly.

If you want to see yourself clearly in the mirror known as spirituality, then there should be no guilt whatsoever in you.

How to remove that guilt is your problem, not mine.

Clarity and Confusion

What you call clarity is confusion for me

What you call confusion is clarity for me

My confusion is complete and now you cannot ask me, how to achieve clarity?

Happiness not greater than Sorrow

Everyone hates sorrow

I must tell you that, happiness is equally dreadful

Both are same

Detaching with sorrow and attaching to happiness is like, enjoying the pleasure of scratching an infected wound. It feels so good when you scratch it, but because of that, wound gets bigger and then it feels ugly and start to pain.

Therefore, both should be treated a like. It is not required to express as if you treat them alike, but within it must be clear that you are dealing with equally treacherous entity when you are happy.

Bliss is not happiness. Don't keep mixing these concepts. Bliss doesn't depend on both happiness or sorrow, even in extreme sorrow, firm realization that this is something that is not happening to you is the bed of blissfulness where you rest while your body seem to be reacting, shedding tears.

Hypothetical Situations

By all means try to avoid hypothetical situations.

These situations are just distractions, nothing else. Focus on what is here and now.

Gross and Subtle

Gross depends on assumptions. Assumption about 'I', assumption about the reality of the unreal, so on so forth.

Subtle doesn't depend on assumptions. In subtle, very basis of both gross and subtle is seen.

For the same reason gross cannot help you in knowing about your real nature, because assumption about 'I' becomes the hurdle and keeps you in ignorance.

Gross is the goal of an ignorant.

Subtle is the goal of the seeker. Seeker is cautious about assumption of 'I' and tries to find out and ofcourse succeeds.

Seeking knows no failure. By all means question everything, not externally (gross) but internally (subtle).

Roller Coaster

Senses try to take you on a roller coaster by fueling judgements, opinions, interpretations, emotions and so on so forth.

See that you are the space in which roller coaster moves, and not the crazy, super scared or momentary excited passenger/rider.

Just keep quiet to avoid being a rider.

When Observer is Observed

When observer is observed

-- experiencer becomes the experience

-- mind becomes still, although there are thoughts, they don't seem to be yours

-- there is only a pure perception, which is prior to knowledge, and for the same reason there is no knowledge of perception either

-- body and mind are not seen, although they are seen at once, like waves are seen but far from your sight, waves are not seen and only ocean in its completeness is seen

Diamond cuts Diamond

As Sankhya darshana mentions that Prakriti creates bondage and only Prakriti frees from bondage where as Purusha is  the substratum of everything, omniscient, eternal, omnipresent and changeless.

In another words, it's only through maya, you can be freed from maya.

It is that last desire for liberation that liberates even from that last desire.

It is those last words that can erase all other words and itself.

It is through mind, mind cleans itself and realizes it doesn't exist and becomes still.

It is through that last effort you realize effortless freedom.

It is through 'I' you realize you are not 'I'.

So on so forth, limitless reflections reflecting themselves creating numerous colors, shapes and intensities while substratum remains the same which is plain, changeless light.

I Know What Is Not

I do not know what is meditation, but I know what is not

I do not know what is reality, but I know what is not

I do not know what is knowledge, but I know what is not

I do not know who am I, but I know who I am not

I do not know what is silence, but I know what is not

I do not know what is freedom, but I know what is not

I do not know what is love, but I know what is not

Imitation

Someone told me this true story that there was this person who wanted to prove that saints are fake and it is super easy to trap people by imitating like saints etc. So this guy wanted to create a documentary about all this fraud. So this guy dresses like a monk and starts reaching people, gaining their trust. Soon plenty of people started trusting him, he was being revered by these people. Without his knowledge, he became a real monk and he was slipping into meditation now and then and he left all his job, his money everything. This all happened without his knowledge.

With this story I am not supporting the actual frauds that happen in the name of saints. I am just saying that when an expressesion tries to imitate the reality, it simply dissolves.

Some day my expression will try hard to imitate reality and that day my words, actions, this blog is bound to dissolve. I will not need any platform to pour my words anymore. Neither I would need any words nor any action to express myself. From saakaar brahman this will become niraakaar brahman.

Greatest Trap

Greatest trap is seeking perfection in actions and through words.

It is confusing expression with reality is the greatest trap.

How hard you may try, perfection through actions or words is not possible.

If you think some person has achieved perfection through actions or words, then you are trapped, forget about that perfected person.

Truth Seeks You

What is more powerful? you as an individual or Truth which is basis of your existence? Ofcourse it is Truth, there is no second opinion about it.

Beautiful love story is here: when you seek Truth, it is not you who is seeking Truth, rather it is the Truth that is seeking you and Truth never fails although you as an individual will fail because of your pride in your individuality.

So it is absurd to say, will I ever find Truth? Ofcourse you cannot but Truth will find you, there is no failure there.

Stop questioning and doubting your current understanding about Truth.

You know when mother tells her little kid that "Son, play for sometime alone at home and I will come back soon from market". That kid plays so peacefully knowing that his mother will come in anycase no matter what. Now that kid will surely fail if he goes out to find his mother in a crowded market, but his mother will not fail to reach her kid.

Such is the beautiful love story of seeker and the Truth. 

Running Behind

Running behind consistency makes you in-consistent

Running behind happiness, brings sorrow

Running behind answers, brings more questions

Key lies right where you stand, there is nothing to run behind

Learn from Elements

Space does not interfere in our fights, and it doesn't feel proud of itself for supporting the whole creation

Air does not apologize, neither it feels guilty for blowing hard and hurting someone. Also one cannot flatter air and make it blow smoothly

Fire does not feel sad if it burns something valuable and it does not take revenge

Earth does not expect you to thank it for supporting you unconditionally

Water can even crush mountains with its force, but it does not claim its victory

These elements make up our identities and still we are deluded. Is this not illusion? Is this not maya?

O' mother Parameshwari, mahamaaye! shower grace on us and free us from delusions.
