Kriya Yoga/Kundalini & Vasanas/Sanskaras/Karma

Kriya Yoga not just awakens the Kundalini, but helps reach that Kundalini Shakti/Energy to Sahasrara Chakra (7^th Chakra). And it is possible only because Kundalini energy when starts risings, clears out all blockages/barriers/Maya/Vasanas/Illusions/Ignorance that we have in any Chakra major or minor. Kriya Yoga is that Technique/Practice/Sadhana which shoots the Kundalini Shakti upwards. You have seen Fire, right? The Tendency of Fire is rise up, while the tendency of Water is to flow down. Kundalini Shakti is like Fire and it’s natural tendency is to rise up.

But when there are blockages/issues/Maya/Vasanas/sanskara/samsara anything it encounters, it clears it up, it will bring it out and will suddenly focus your attention towards that issue which you need to release and let go. Now to clear the issues/Vasanas/sanskara’s FASTER, we not only keep doing Kriya Yoga, but we also address those issues/Vasanas/sanskaras at mental and emotional level, we let go, we surrender, we heal. We attack the problem from ALL sides, not just the energy side.

Those who don’t do Kriya Yoga, or any Spiritual Sadhana/Practice they have to wait perhaps a lifetime for Vasanas/Sanskaras/Unconscious to show up ACCIDENTALLY (that is how it feels to them) in life, so they can learn or do something about it. That’s a normal cycle of Karma. But for Kriya Yogi, Karmic Cycle is going at Super Sonic Speed, because you have Consciously Chosen to FINISH ALL KARMA (Unconscious Patterns/Sanskaras/Maya). Once Kundalini Shakti starts showing you all Vasanas/Sanskaras, and you remove them mentally, emotionally and let go, surrender, heal then you move forward and slowly through this process Chitta is Super Clean, Crystal Clean.

So now there are two things to understand, that Kriya Yoga/Kundalini Shakti will “bring out (make it Conscious)” a Sanskara/Vasana and you will be able to see it, focus on it, pay attention to it, see it happening in your life, playing out in your life. Now there are TWO ways to Clear it. First one is a slow process that you keep doing Kriya Yoga so that some day it is burned up and gone, it will take Years to burn One Strong Sanskara. Second and faster way is, to understand it mentally, emotionally and then let go, surrender and heal. The faster you surrender to “what it is trying to teach you”, the faster you can “let go”. The faster you can “let go”, the faster you will “heal”.

See, ultimately you have to TRANSCEND Mind & Emotions, but “Desires”, deep, hidden desires which are often wrapped in Love, Compassion and Tolerance, will stop you, will force you to Hold On to this, that and so much nonsense, these desires on the name of responsibility, Kindness, Caring will NOT let you go. And Desire is EXACT OPPOSITE of Self-Realization. And Desire is such a complex thing, wrapped in so many beautiful, humanitarian Costumes that it’s almost disguised and very hard to see, catch, understand and let go.

Transcending Mind and Emotions demand GREAT WILL POWER. A Very Strong Will Power that says “I WILL LET GO OF ANYTHING THAT IS A BLOCKAGE IN MY PATH OF SELF-REALIZATION, may it be a Desire to become Self-realized Guru, or Self-Realized Being itself. Self Realization is an exact opposite of becoming anything whatsoever, doing anything whatsoever. So through Self Realization if you are trying to become something/anything then it’s not going to happen. Self-Realization is complete annihilation, it’s an Opposite of any desire/doing/doer.

Before Self-realization I had no idea what it is, what happens, and how it works. For me IT WAS DEATH. And our Human Mind only has One Perception of Death, which is like how we have seen other people die all our life which is by leaving our body. So mind cannot perceive or know any other way of dying. Self-Realization was happening to me First & Only time, it’s not something that happens every now and then so I had any experience of it, and I did not have any Guru or anyone around to tell me what is this crazy thing happening to me. So all I could perceive it was as Real Death, like how normal people die.

Now, IMAGINE my Situation. I knew that I was Dying, Death is happening to me and I WAS READY TO DIE, I WAS READY TO GIVE UP MY BODY, as for me Death meant giving up body, like how normal people die. IMAGINE that in those days/weeks of Experiencing Death, NOTHING COULD STOP ME, NOTHING COULD SHAKE MY WILL POWER, not even the presence of my son, my sister, or anything at all. I actually gathered all my financial information, made a file, and cried and explained all that to my sister, because my mind did not know that the Death that is happening to me, is not about giving up my body. This Death is a TRUE DEATH, where an Individual, where “I” is GONE, Merged with Shiva/Unmanifest FOREVER.

Just through the FAITH that I had in my Heart, I jumped into the UNKNOWN, without thinking about any positive or negative Consequences. Consequences/Results did not matter to me. Because all results/consequences are TIED TO THE DESIRE in us. So I was 100% DESIRELESS. The one who is completely desire-less, even to the extent whether to even have any desire or not, is in 100% surrender to “what is happening NOW” and let it be. All this requires a Strong Will Power, which comes from 100% Faith, Doubtless Faith, Unshakeable Faith in your heart that “whatever happens, or is happening is FOR YOUR OWN GOOD”. This is not just for mentally understanding and emotionally feeling, it is LIVED. This fact has to be LIVED.

Now, you can contemplate and see within yourself as to what seeds of desires are still there, deep, hidden, wrapped as something else and you have to let them all go. Let it all go.

Blessings to all,

Understanding Desirelessness

From time to time many Spiritual Masters/Gurus/Practitioners reach out to me, and they are awakened at some point of time, and now are looking for Self-Realization.

Based on conversations with many of them, a central theme of achieving desirelessness became prominent, as many of them were struggling with it.

This is to explain it little more.

When I talk about Giving up Responsibilities/Activities, I am not asking you to give up, let go of your students. I am talking about that “Guru” in you who is connected to your “I” right now, that Guru has to go away. Either the Ultimate Divine lives as You, or that Current Guru lives as You, the choice is Yours! Now, how you want to let that go, that is up to you.

It is not about those students that you have, or any other human/being that is around you through any other relationship. Its only about YOU and ONLY YOU. You have to release ALL that is Living as You right now, within You right now, because all those roles that you are playing, all that you are right now, belongs to that “I” that you have. All those roles/responsibilities/identities are “attachments” to your “I”. And all that is a blockage on your path to Self-Realization. 

We never surrender humans/relationships around us, we only surrender, let go of our attachments to those Images/False-Self images that lives to fulfill those roles/identities/relationships. We cannot ever surrender anything that never belonged to us. No humans, no souls, no one else’s “I” can ever belong to our own “I”. True relationship between two “I” is NOT possible. Because those two “I” are Illusion/Maya/False-World, hence the relationship between them is also an Illusion/Maya/Ignorance/False-World of happiness, unhappiness, pleasure, pain, pride/vanity, prejudices and so on. Hence the “I” as “Guru” never belonged to the “I” as Students/Disciples. There is no real connection. Then we can let go of our Ideas of sense of responsibility, feeling of responsibility.

I did not give up my son, I could not ever give up my son, because he never belonged to me, he belonged to the same Divine, whom I belonged to, He is NOT my creation. My Creation was that “Mother” whom I created, nurtured, polished since my son was born. I gave up that Mother in me. If that Ultimate Divine Mother has to reside within me, then I have to give up being mother to just one human/soul, my son. I gave up my attachment that I had “with that mother” in me, which appeared as if I have attachment to my son. When I was letting that Mother go away in me, it felt as if I am abandoning my son. But then I could see that it’s that Image that is dying, it’s part of “I”, and that “I” always makes us feel as if we are abandoning others. That ”I” never understands that NOTHING ever belong to it ever. It makes us feel as if we are attached to “other humans”, but in fact we are attached to the IMAGE of “I” in us, which interacts with other humans. That Image we have to let go.

All that you are as of now has to go away, all that you wish to be as of now has to go away! That’s the beginning of Desirelessness. End of Desirelessness is Self-Realization. In between this beginning and end is tough path of maintaining the desirelessness, living in 100% surrender to “what is happening NOW”, Being in that Process, Being in that Dance of Divine Shakti that is going to takeover you. Let it takeover, do not stand in your own way by holding onto anything that you are right now, and anything that you wish to be.

Blessing to all,

Kriya Yoga/Kundalini, Pachakoshas and 4th Dimensional Body

Let me explain you little more about Kriya Yoga through which we awaken and arise our Kundalini Shakti.

First body layer/dimension – Annamaya Kosha – Physical Body

Second Body layer/dimension – Pranamaya Kosha – Shakti/Energy Body
Third Body layer/dimension – Manomaya Kosha – Mental Body
Fourth Body layer/dimension – Vigyanamaya Kosha – Psychic/Intuitive Mind/Emotional Body
Fifth Body layer/dimension – Anandamaya Kosha – Bliss/Soul
Sixth Body layer/dimension – Intermediate State from where one jumps into Unknown, Pure Consciousness, Primordial Shakti, Adishakti, All Gods/Devas
Seventh Body layer/dimension – Cosmic Body
Eight – No body, No Dimension, Unknown, Unmanifest, Shiva, Liberation/Moksha, No “I”, Buddha, Nirvana

Now you see, second body layer, Pranamaya Kosha means Energy Body BINDS all the bodies together and holds our existence, our conscious and unconscious parts together. Unconsciousness/Vasanas/Karma resides in ALL first 4 body layers. Fifth body/dimension becomes Conscious, fully 100% only when there is no Unconscious part (Karma/Sanskara/pattern) is there in our first 4 bodies.

Kriya Yoga increases our energy/Shakti so that whatever is there in First, Third and Fourth can become Conscious and also so we can stay more and more in Dhyana to give power to our Soul/5^th Body, so it can become fully conscious. 

Shakti is powerful and can SHOW you your Vasanas, Mental/Emotional Patterns, Desires, Karmic Lessons, but if at Mental/Emotional level, means if at your 4^th Dimensional Level you HOLD ONTO those Vasanas, Mental/Emotional Patterns, Desires, FAIL to Learn Karmic Lessons, then SHAKTI WILL LET YOU DO THAT, that’s what we call Free Will. You are divine yourself, and if you are choosing to hold onto something then it will let you.

Because your any TWO body layers will NOT FIGHT with each other. Your left hand will not beat up your right hand. Your left kidney will not attack your right kidney. Shakti in you listens to your Mind/Emotions. That means Mind/Emotions (4^th Dimensional Body) is MORE POWERFUL than your Second/Energy Body. Trees/Rocks/Rivers all have First(Physical body) and Second (Shakti/Energy body), but they do not have 3^rd and 4^th Dimensional body. Animals have 3^rd Dimensional Body, but they do not have 4^th Dimensional Body which is fully conscious/functional, instead their 4^th dimensional body is full of Unconscious Karmic Patterns. Hence they cannot have desire to seek Moksha/Liberation/Nirvana. All that they can seek is safety, food, reproduction. So their 4^th dimensional body SERVERS their Lower 3 animalistic chakras, and our 4^th dimensional body serves upper 3 chakras, if/when it becomes Conscious enough to do so. Strong/Conscious 4^th Dimensional body makes people experience divine through music, art, any creativity, even more conscious 4^th dimensional body, seeks Ultimate Truth, Liberation only, because it becomes aware of painful Death/Birth/Rebirth cycle.

So Shakti is YOURS, Your Second Body layer/Pranic Shakti/Kundalini Shakti is YOURS, exactly in the same way the POWER of 3^rd and 4^th Dimensional Body is YOURS too. You can use second body layer to Transcend Body/Mind/Emotions (1^st, 3^rd, 4^th Dimensional/Body layers), but only if your 3^rd/4^th body layers are WEAKER (More Conscious/Less Karmic/Unconscious Patterns) than your Second (Shakti/Energy Body layer). Those who are like this, are actually BHAKTAS and follow Bhakti Marg. Those who have STRONG 3^rd/4^th Dimensional Body (Jnana Path), means those who have learnt a lot, know a lot, have strong Karmic Patterns, Unconscious Patterns, Vasanas, Sanskaras in their Mind/Emotions, for them Shakti can be used to SHOW all Vasanas, but Shakti will NOT go against their Mind/Emotions/4^th Dimensional Body layer. Higher the body layer/dimension, stronger is it’s power/role in life/Self-Realization, and stronger the kind of Vasanas/sanskaras/blockages that it can pose.

So mentally and emotionally you cannot hold onto Vasanas/Unconscious Karmic Patterns/Desires, and think that Shakti will INVADE, go AGAINST your Mind/Emotions and create a Conflict Within. When this happens, people actually become MAD, INSANE, Physically, Mentally disabled.

I was a Kriya Yogi in past life, in this life I started with Kriya Yoga, but soon realized that my Sanskaras/Vasanas/Karma are left now only within my Mental/Emotional body, and hence I walked that path which I call “Echoflection” now, and have created a course for others. Because in this time when global shift is happening, people already have awakened Kundalini and Kriya Yoga can help them SHOW/REVEAL their Vasanas/Sanskaras/Unconscious Patterns that reside in their Mental/Emotional body layer, but then they have to Learn to Surrender to what LESSONS those Sanskaras/Vasanas/Karmic patterns are trying to teach you, and you have to let go. Surrender to Shakti means, LET THE SHAKTI FLOW, REMOVE THE MENTAL/EMOTIONAL BLOCKAGE/VASANA/SANSKARA.

You are physically complete, your physical habits of sleeping/snoring/eating/drinking/smoking/sex are NOT the hindrance in your Self-Realization. Your Mental/Emotional patterns/unconscious parts/Vasanas/sanskaras are the hindrance in your self-realization. Your Fight/Effort is towards 4^th Dimensional Body. You have to transcend your 4^th Dimensional body. You have ALREADY transcended your Physical Body, you are able to do all Kriyas, soon through Kriya Yoga you will INCREASE your Energy/Pranic Shakti a LOT, and because you are doing Kriya Yoga, that in itself means you have transcended your second/energy body layer.

So then what is left????

3^rd & 4^th Dimensional (Mind/Emotions) body layer is what you have to Transcend now.

Hope this helps you understand that Sanskaras/Vasanas reside in all 4 body layers and hope it gives you insight into your situation, and helps you understand that Shakti listens to our Mind/Emotions.

There are MANY people around the World who are able to take their Kundalini Shakti all the way to 4^th, 5^th and 6^th Chakra. But then they mentally/emotionally HOLD onto that ENERGY/SHAKTI, because going BEYOND that means GIVING UP ALL SENSE of I, giving up all SENSE OF ALIVENESS that comes from EGO. So their Mind/Emotions using Desire as Vehicle, uses that SHAKTI for EGO’s play purpose, and STOPS them from Self-Realization.

If you are doing Kriya Yoga, it is important that you understand that you should NOT hold Shakti, you should NOT stop Shakti like that for Ego’s play purpose and hang in the middle somewhere.

Bless you all,

People like Anthony Robbins, Deepak Chopra, David Wilcock and more!

I lived last decade in America and now I am living in Australia. The Enlightenment and then Self Realization happened while I was living in America. I get this question often from Westerners that what is the difference between the teachings of people like Anthony Robbins, Deepak Chopra, David Wilcock and so many others like them and the teachings of Osho, Ramana Maharishi, Sadhguru, Adyashanti, Eckhart Tolle or me? Many Westerners feel confused, although there are some who clearly understand the difference. I am writing this article for those confused ones as understanding this difference is necessary in order to decide the path that you take.

If I have to answer this question in one short sentence then I would say "The difference is about "Yours" and "You".

Anthony Robbins, Deepak Chopra, David Wilcock and so many others like them are working towards improving what is "Yours". Your "Life", Your "Mind", Your "Body", Your "Reality", Your "Experiences", Your "Emotions", Your "Health", Your "Wealth", Your "Society", Your "World", Your "Knowledge", Your "Destiny", Your "Karma", Your "Deeds", Your "Path" and so on, with the idea that once what is "Yours" is improved then "You" will be better and perhaps happier.

While Enlightened/Self-Realized Beings like Sadhguru and myself who have gone beyond 8th Dimension permanently are working towards improving "YOU". They are constantly working towards destroying your perceptions related to the false you, so the real you can rise up. It's not a Re-arrangement process, it's a reconstruction process which includes the destruction of all that is not you. Because "You" are the Life itself, You as Atma, as Consciousness manifests an entire reality for yourself as body, mind, emotions and everything else around you. Without dealing with You if we deal with all that is Yours, then everything has to be handled separately (body, mind, emotions, biology, society, life...) in a piecemeal way, but if we work on You, then all that is Yours can be managed/handled in the most Integrated and Synchronistic manner. So if we bring out the REAL YOU then automatically what is "Yours" will be changed forever. The centre is "You". We are here for "YOU" not for what is "YOURS". Because what is "yours" can be changed by Real You and will be left behind here when "death" happens to you, you cannot take the knowledge of science, geometry, psychology, healing or anything with you at all no matter how many books you read or how much research you do, you cannot take wealth, awards, titles, bestseller badges, society, people, relationships, emotions, body, mind or anything with you. Nothing will cross this denser dimensional reality except the "real you". That "Real You" has to be found underneath all the layers of body, mind, emotions, experiences, perceptions, identities, boundaries etc that you have created. No matter how much knowledge or wealth you accumulate, you will end up having similar life experiences over and over again, because you are not changing the "You", you are just changing what is outside of you, what is "yours". If I change my house or my car or my body am I really changing myself? Is my house, my car, my body the real me? No! Life doesn't function like this.

Now, it's not that they are taking care of your "life" and we are taking care of your "death". It's not about "death" in the way you understand, because birth is NOT the beginning of your life and death is NOT the end. Life is one and it is eternal and that is what we are here to show you by bringing the Real You out. Until the real being comes out you are not going to realize and live from existential reality, instead, will live and function only as a physical & psychological reality. Oneness, Universal Love, Eternal Life these are not the concepts of the mind, reading books and listening to lectures will not help you "know" all this.

So are these people like Anthony, Deepak or David cheating or fooling you all? NO, Absolutely NOT. They have a very important role to play here in this Unified Whole. Not everyone is READY YET to be helped by Enlightened/Self-Realized ones. Most of the population on this planet is suffering one way or the other, most are still enjoying the ignorance and their Consciousness is not yet at that level where they can Ascend. Not everyone is ready for the Spiritual surgery right away, many needs a lot of preparation and First Aid to heal their body, mind, emotions, relationships and what not. They are not yet done playing around. They still want to stay on their Hamster Wheel. So the teachings/lectures/sessions by these Masters of First Aid are educating people at different physical levels and keeping them "SAFE" on their Hamster Wheel. It's better to stay safe on that wheel than crashing altogether. If you stay "safe" on that wheel then only you stand a chance of jumping out of that hamster wheel without a crash landing with the help of an Enlightened Master. Such people's teachings help improve the quality of life, society, relationships, knowledge, And most importantly it is because of them that Self Realized ones "do not" have to play the role of a psychologist or therapist. It is because of them that Self Realized ones do not have to tone down their teachings/divine powers to expand the Consciousness of beings around the Universe. It is because of them that Self Realized ones can play around in the whole universe because the playground here is being managed to an extent by these people. So these people are setting up the ground. Just like primary school education is needed in order to enter the University one day. Few have completed that primary education in past lives but millions are going through that in this life.

In a society where people feel offended if they have to go to a Psychiatrist or Psychologist, at least these people are offering group sessions where you can openly talk about your depression and issues and all that is "Yours" and it feels less scary in the group and you are saved from the society putting a label on you. So their role is very critical, important and very much necessary. Their work is towards Your "Experiences" and "Your Knowlege about that which is yours".

Till the time "Your Focus" is on what/how/where/when is "Yours" and not on just "You" until then you do not need an Enlightened/Self-Realized Master. Because such a Master's powers and teachings will expand the Consciousness that YOU are, it will bring out the REAL YOU, the BEING. The work of Ascended Masters is towards that "Experiencer and Knower" behind whom the Real You is hiding. By speeding up your karmic cycle, they help you get rid of that Experiencer who wants to experience all dimensions and this endless infinity, except oneself, that Knower who wants to know all about everything that exists or does not exist, except oneself. Enlightened Masters help you Experience the Experiencer, Know the Knower and finally just "Be".

Long time back I read their (Anthony, David, Sigmund, Carl Jung and more) books and materials too and lot more literature on Psychology, Geology, Science and anything else you can imagine only to realize that there is no end to "knowing" and "experiencing" and I am not the Experiencer and Knower. Who I am, that needs to be found and it cannot be found through these ways of indulging in knowledge gathering and experiencing.

Now before you decide whom to reach out to, ask yourself - Is it still about your life, your love, your relationships, your wealth, your powers, your wounds, your emotions, your world, your path or is it now about YOU?

If the question still is of what is yours, how (in what condition) is yours, where is yours or when is yours, then better read/listen or have sessions with Anthony, Deepak or people like them because you do need them. There is no harm or shame in realizing that you are NOT yet at that level and you can be helped by them.

If it is about "YOU" then an Enlightened/Self-Realized/Awakened Master (with the body or without body) will FIND YOU! You do not need to search hard or look for. You will be guided in magical, mystical ways to reach them, meet them and you will find a way.

Bless You!

How are some people truly Magnetic, Charismatic?

Each one of us has had a moment when we were left speechless by the magnetism and charisma that someone showed and it just amazed us. Transparent, fluid kind of persona that someone exhibited swept the floor beneath the feet. It felt so cozy, comfortable around that person. Just in few moments, there was nothing else except that person when he/she was around. It felt so easy, so cool to talk about almost anything & everything. It was as if such a person absorbed you completely. In an instant, such a person leaves the long lasting impact.

Here I am not talking about a physically beautiful or attractive person, instead of the one who is truly Magnetic and Charismatic. I am also not talking about first sight love or falling in love moments, I am talking about the true magnetic attractiveness, the undefined pull that someone has.

It's hard not to notice that something is significantly different in such magnetic, charismatic person. What is that element which exuberates so much pure life? INTEGRATED ENERGY!

Yes, we all are nothing but energy. Most of you have very disturbing, segregated, and split energy. You "feel" one thing, you "think" another. You "say" one thing, you "do" another. Your energy is split into emotions, thoughts, speech, and action differently for one single thing. For example - You may be feeling "low/sad", but since you are in between people you are trying to "think happy thoughts" and you are saying "happy" sentences, talking lightly exactly opposite of how you are feeling and since you are in between the people, through your "actions" you might be putting up a happy show. Emotions are pulling your energy "down", thoughts are trying to pull your energy "up", your speech, your actions are pulling your energy "left" and "right". Even though you might be saying "you like this event/gathering very much, you are feeling completely otherwise. Oftentimes in life, you feel like saying big "No", but a "Yes" is coming out of your mouth. This is called people-pleasing because you cannot handle how you feel within after you say "no" to someone or something. Some of you stay in confused/indecisive state for a long, as it takes really hard work to find out "what exactly do you want? And you do not want to look within to find out that. Some of you push your feelings or hurt and pain deep within you and instead of facing them, you bury them by doing tons of useless activities and living the mundane way. These are some of the ways to keep your energy disturbed and segregated. Imagine if your feelings/emotions, thoughts, speech/action were all different size wheels and all the time these wheels are rotating in different directions causing friction with each other. This friction is what causes "stress/tension" in you.

When you stay in such a segregated state for months, years then your energy starts showing it, it becomes your VIBE, your "Energy Atmosphere" or "Energysphere" (as I like to call it) that you are transmitting, broadcasting the whole time.

Your vibe/energysphere becomes "negative/very disturbed". Then after that no matter how well dressed you are, how groomed you are, how much pleasing smile or face you have your vibe, your energy says it all. With anyone you meet your vibe reaches them, meets them "before" you physically meet them. Your vibe, your energy communicates "louder" than your dress-up, your makeup, your groomed face, your perfume and that your body language ever can. 75% of the people in this world are sensitive to this vibe/energy of other people, they recognize others by their energy. You do not have to speak a word, or make any gesture or display body language at all and still, they will know exactly how you are feeling or what is your energy/emotional state as of now and if it is positive or negative.

Now the one who is most magnetically attractive doesn't have his/her energy split or segregated. What one feels is what one thinks and speaks and does. When your Thoughts, Emotions, and Actions are synchronized with each other, are in alignment with each other then there is no friction within and energy stays "Integrated". This integration of energy brings peace within, brings calmness to the personality, it is what makes one exuberant and one shows up like a "Pure Joyful Life" and spreads Charisma like fragrance all around. Such people are true to themselves and true to the world. They simply transmit a "Clear Broadcast" of who, what and how they are to the "Universe".

Magnetic, Charismatic people's energy broadcast in one single moment is not going out differently in all the directions, they are not transmitting so many confused frequencies to others, to the Universe.

What if a radio channel or TV channel starts transmitting many frequencies at the same time, how will you tune into it then? How and what you will catch as a signal? There will be all kinds of mixed signals. What to make out of it? What to understand from that? How can this world, or any other person take you, understand you or interpret what you are saying or trying to do since you are transmitting confusing frequencies all over the spectrum? You may be saying one thing but your energy speaks a whole different truth, then how can someone believe you? How can others trust you? And you wonder why no one understands you? Because you do not understand yourself, you are not transmitting the signals of "clarity within" and you go on blaming the world.

You are not transmitting the signals of "Peace within", "Flowing Life within", "Joyful within", "True within" and you wonder why your "without/outer world" is so different and in opposition to your inner world. It's like thinking and ordering Pizza but getting a Burger. Your energy signature is screaming out loud burger baby. You wonder as to why constantly you are facing challenging and difficult situations and people? Because you are transmitting the signals of "challenged within", "cloudy/muddy within". You wonder why you always meet broken, loveless people? Because your energy is shouting out loud to the Universe as "broken & loveless within".

People and the Universe knows you by your Energy Signature! Universe delivers not what you keep on thinking or asking or praying for, it delivers exactly what and how your energy signature is.

Live your TRUTH. Synchronize yourself within.

Simply transmit a clear broadcast of who you are to the Universe!

Dark side of Meditation!

Recently a friend from the USA sent me a news article about a young lady Megan, 25 years old committing suicide after 10 days of a Meditation retreat through which she got the memory back of one of her past life in which she did something bad. Her last note was - That knowing about her own deeds she cannot live with herself anymore and she is very sorry about taking her own life. This news made my friend question if there really is a dark side of Meditation?

There is a dark side of doing meditation, there is a dark side of being a Soldier, there is a dark side of being a doctor, there is a dark side of pretty much "being human". That is why those who do not have the courage, do not meditate or walk spiritual path, do not join Army, Navy or Airforce, do not become a doctor and even if they do; they become victim of their own weaker self and either get into different types of addictions to numb themselves or when they can't deal with the pain within they commit suicide. It's a very sad state of affairs, a bitter truth.

In a nutshell, there is a dark side to being human and one needs a hell lot of courage to deal with one's own humanity, one's own deeds & past.

Meditation and Spiritual practices are a way to bring Unconscious to Light, Learn the lesson from our past deeds/mistakes, Let Go of the emotional knots, grudges, Heal the Pain within and Move On, Evolve! Meditation is a process of Real Evolution, where one not only evolves physically but also Emotionally, Mentally and in Etheric ways. All experiences, knowings during meditation have a tangible impact on us and that's how we are Transformed.

Meditation, Spiritual Practices bring back ALL one ever did and ALL that one ever was. It also Empowers the person to deal with it, handle it, and learn from it, instead of taking a drastic step of committing suicide. It's not the question of How many Spiritual Seekers really commit suicide? And how many of those who are not into any kind of Spiritual practices or meditation commit suicide? The point is whether one is seeking the Ultimate Truth, or Material World/Wealth or Love when it goes beyond one's ability to deal with the life some of them take such a decision while others survive dark, difficult times and be the warrior in life. Those who come out of such darkness actually can help others, teach others, share their wisdom with others.

The serious Spiritual path is not for weak ones, it's for the Courageous ones. And not just Spiritual path, but even becoming a doctor or a soldier requires a lot of courage. It requires a person who can handle their Dark Past, the Dark side of their passion or profession. It's not easy to kill or bomb a bunch a people as a Soldier and still be able to sleep peacefully at night. As a doctor, it's not easy to deal with not being able to save a patient who was the only bread earner of the family. So many army people, young soldiers suffer from post-war-operations depression and psychosomatic issues. So, courage is needed for all that we have ever done and we ever will do.

Spiritual Journey is not about all Peace, Bliss, and Glory, it's about EMBODYING and ACCEPTING ourself UNCONDITIONALLY. At times it feels like walking straight through hell as one has to face oneself. However dark the past may seem, one has to face it, look at it deeply and long enough so one can find the lessons hidden deep beneath that darkness and pain. Life is one and it is continuous and eternal and while your short stint on the earth you might have done bad things, might have made many mistakes, but when you become aware of them, conscious about them, then it's a time to Learn the Lesson, so you do not repeat the same mistakes.

Before one can be The Divinity, one needs to Embody their Humanity. That's how one becomes WHOLE!

Time to time many people contact me as they need help and want me to hold their hand, guide them in walking their Spiritual Journey and this "dark side of their own" is the first thing that I often explain them about. And if a person is not yet ready to face it, not that one ever will be ready to face such a thing, but still there is a degree of courage and strength that is needed, and if it is not there I do explain them up front and that way it is clear for one to see if they are ready to walk their own inner hell or not. The choice is always yours.

Those who are not ready yet they should not bother about Meditation and Spiritual practices, just go to movies, have popcorn and be happy!

The Unconscious! How it works?

What is the Unconscious in you? How it works?

In the Western World, it was a renowned psychologist Sigmund Freud who discovered the "Unconscious". And in the Eastern world existence of Unconscious is known and accepted since time immemorial. Spiritual practices, Meditation techniques talk about this Unconscious in detail and helps us make it Conscious so it no longer controls our actions and choices in life. 

Many people assume that what goes on inside of them is pretty much straightforward, while it is far from the truth. The Unconscious is part of every human and heavily influences the actions and choices that one makes in life. Those compelling urges to do something or not, to do this or that often makes one wonder where they come from and how like a puppet one just follow those urges. Persistent thoughts, feelings of despair, disdain, fear, indescribable pain etc often comes from within for no apparent reason and mind tries hard to justify and look for reasons. After much struggle one just gives up looking for reasons and accepts that this is who he/she is. 

There are times when you are able to notice your Unconscious as to "how" it is making you feel. Suddenly when you start to feel sad or fearful or angry for no reason then you do know at some level that it is coming from within and it's not something that has a connection outside of you, to someone or something else. It's not only for the negative feelings or thoughts, at times one may start feeling like a child seeking attention or pampering or love from others around and after few hours or the very next day it is gone and one is back to their adult-self. There are times when for hours/days you may get thoughts about something from the past and only when you come out it, you realize that those thoughts and emotions have been driving you and they took so much of your time and energy. You may decide to not get into it again, but after few days it repeats and you have been swayed again, and have absolutely no control over yourself. 

Most of you have pretty much simple and standard way of reacting and handling situations in life. It may seem as if you are designed that way. But on the deeper level, many of you are aware that some of your patterns of reactions are not very helpful in letting you live life satisfactorily. And this deeper knowing pushes you to decide that next time you will not behave or react out of your set pattern. I have often heard people saying that "oh I am such an emotional fool", "I get easily manipulated", "I am temperamental", "I get talkative when nervous" and so on, so this means that people are aware of their unconscious patterns and behaviors, but it's just that it seems they have no control over it and it keeps on repeating in life. People find it very difficult to change their mind and behave or react differently when it happens the next time.

All this is the Unconscious part of you!

Formation of Unconscious 

Life is one and it's eternal so some part of our Unconscious belongs to our past lives, but most of it belongs to our present life. 

A major part of the unconscious is formed during your childhood when you were not so equipped to deal with the harshness of life and events. As a young child, you often see, feel, experience life that is too much to take in and you have no way to express it, talk to anyone about it. You may not have anyone around you to discuss what is going on inside you and you yourself do not know how to deal with it. This leads to a lot of suppression of feelings which is going to drive you, drive your actions, decisions, and behavior for the rest of your life. 

Are you a vegetarian consciously, or is it that you were brought up in a family where no one ate non-veg hence you were not taught to eat it from childhood. If later is the case then being vegetarian doesn't matter, as it is not your Conscious choice. Yes if you were a nonvegetarian since childhood but you consciously became vegetarian then that matters, there is a deep lesson of compassion, non-violence towards yourself which you have learned and you made a conscious choice to be otherwise. So this is what being Conscious and Unconscious is about. 

As an adult, many times you reject the feelings of pain, shame, guilt, and hurt and busy yourself with activities and mundane life in order to not fully feel them, accept them and let them pass through you, hence these feelings are suppressed and buried deep down and become your Unconscious. They don't go away, they just are hidden. But they do control your decisions, actions, and choices in life. For example you may have been hurt really bad in love and you got over it superficially and started living life, but never again you will be able to love anyone else full heartedly, some part of yourself you will always hold back and not surrender in order to save yourself from the possibility of getting hurt again. You may think that this is the wise thing to do and now you are being clever about it, but in reality, the exact same thing will repeat again and you are bound to get hurt. 

It's not that love always hurts or anything like that. The point that I am trying to make here is that suppressed feelings, emotions create your Unconscious and Drive You!

So how to avoid that? or How to make Unconscious Conscious?

Well, most important question to ask here is - What is it trying to teach me? 

Any particular event or situation in life is trying to teach you a lesson. It could be a lesson of Self-worth or Self-love or something else. When you ask many times to yourself and if you are patient enough you are able to "know" the answer. Once you know what lesson you are supposed to learn, you will have to put it to practice, you will have to implement it in life in all the situations that you going through presently, so no "special painful" event happens again to teach you the very same lesson. Until you learn your life lesson, the similar kind of event keeps on repeating and you are driven by your Unconscious. When you Consciously start throwing light upon your Unconscious by learning your life lessons you will be much relieved, you will feel very light in your Spirit and you will become peaceful inside as you start loving your inner child unconditionally. 

Enlightened ones are fully Conscious in every moment and even their anger is out of compassion for the other. They are peaceful as deep ocean and can cause the emotional waves to crash on the shore beautifully. Their anger is not an anger truly since they are in full control, they use emotions as a tool to get done whatever is needed and their show of emotions is more like a child's play where they are driving the play purposefully, intentionally. Many Enlightened Zen Masters were famous for carrying a stick with them and spanking their disciples and many others still have to put up a show of emotions in order to make others understand the deeper truth of life.

The Defensive Ego!

One of the functions of our Ego is to defend ourselves and protect us. Ego defends and protects not only physically instead most of the time emotionally. In this modern world, we are living a much-protected life physically than our hunter-gatherer ancestors. So mostly this defense is happening towards Emotional Dangers and Emotional Attacks.

Most of you have one or few people around you who "judge" you, "label" you, "criticize" you or "blame" you. And oftentimes there is fighting, quarreling, heated arguments about everything and anything. There are people around you who will constantly breach your personal boundary and will not leave you alone. No matter what you do some people will never be happy with your efforts and will find something that you did wrong today or ever and may give you a complete list of all your sins since you are born. Usually, such people are either spouse, parent or close family member. Because if it was anyone else you would have walked away on the first attack and would have turned your back easily. But in close-knit family situations, it becomes very difficult and hence you develop this "Defensive Ego". No one is born with it, remember that.

Sometimes you yourself go on pretending as something else, someone else who you are not and in order to hide your weakness or your reality you stay On Guard, Defensive with people around you. You create a fake world, a world of lies around you and then you go on defending that world, that fake personality, those Lies that you constantly keep on telling others. Others around you may not have proofs to break the web of your lies, but they can sense it, they know it in many ways. All your efforts give birth to suspicion and are the breeding ground for Emotional Attacks.

Such situations make you feel "unsafe" with Yourself. You do not want to be alone, you want to keep busy, you get anxiety attacks, your personality becomes neurotic, highly reactional, you find ways to avoid Yourself! Here you are not running from others, from the world, but you are running from yourself. Even when you are busy in any activity you keep on chatting with yourself and constantly "defending" yourself even during your mental chatter. Whom are you defending yourself from?

YOU! Yes!

This defensiveness makes you concerned with the outside world and how you appear to others. It makes it harder to notice what goes on inside you, with your inner feelings. When you are thinking, you do not feel much of what goes on with your subtle feelings. You only notice feelings that are at the surface. Retreating into your thoughts thus becomes a way of avoiding unpleasant feelings. When this goes on for too long you stop feeling the feelings. Many people call themselves fully logical and rational and deny that feelings are a real part of them.

The result of all these defensive tactics and games is that you lose touch with yourself. You really don't know yourself. Consequently, you are unaware why you are doing what you are doing. This Defensive Ego makes it impossible to deal with our deeper feelings, and the result is that these feelings stay hidden and do not dissolve. They disappear into your "Unconscious", but do not cease to influence you.

Whenever you are fighting or quarreling and are being argumentative then "truth" goes out of the window, nobody is interested in understanding or even listening to the "truth". When Defensive Ego is playing against anyone then it is no longer about the "truth" it is ONLY about NOT FEELING HURT.

• Yes if someone is Blaming you, you don't want to feel Guilty!
• You are already convinced that the other person is wrong or lying or not understanding!
• This gives you a chance to Blame too!

All this you do because you do not want to "feel hurt". You do not want to feel Guilt, Shame. You do not want to be wrongly accused of anything so you go on protecting, defending your Self-Image.

You may be using one feeling to avoid another. When you get angry, but you don't want to act angrily towards other people then it gets really hard. Thoughts full of anger just keeps coming up. You are angry of course because you got emotionally hurt. The reason you cannot stop being angry is that because then you would have to feel the underlying unpleasant feelings that caused the anger in the first place and you do not want to do that. 

Dealing with emotions like Guilt and Shame is difficult. Dealing with Emotional Hurt is difficult. Not impossible though. No one taught us how to deal with difficult emotional scenarios. No one taught us how to be true to ourselves so we do not have to protect any fake, false self-image. 

The Cat in a Bird Cage - Defensive Intellectual Justification!

What is that one thing that stops us from freeing ourselves; FEAR. Fear of what? FEAR OF LOSS. Fear of Loss of what? A possibility of loss of people around us, loss of loved ones, loss of health, loss of wealth, loss of self-image, image as a father, mother, husband, wife, or whatever. You fear if you admit the mistake you will feel guilt, which you will anyways because you know deep down if you did anything wrong. You fear if you speak the truth, the other person will walk away from you which he/she may already be doing, it's just that You do not want to accept that Truth Yourself. You fear losing relationships that you have and you cannot survive without them, so you are ready to lose the relationship with yourself, which anyways will cost you everything someday! You want short term benefits, small gratifications. You feel you put the fire down today, will see what happens tomorrow, why speak the Truth and face the volcano. Well, there wasn't any volcano to start with, you created it by this fearful approach. 

Your Fear keeps you chained to your Guilt, Shame, Emotional Hurt. You would rather be hurt than walk-away. You would rather be in Guilt & Shame than Forgiving Yourself. You would rather fight endlessly and inflict an emotional wound on yourself and others to protect your self-image by speaking tons of lies to yourself and others than Speaking Truth. It's like how a Pigeon closes his eyes and pretends that Cat is not there in front of him and will not eat him and he is safe! Is he really? This is how defensive ego forces you to live in Denial of Truth, Denial of Love, Denial of Life.

What is the opposite of Emotional Hurt? Self Love!

When you love yourself unconditionally and accept yourself the way you are, you stop pretending to be something else to yourself and to the world then you start to "Heal" and the emotional hurt goes away. When you "Forgive" yourself because you love yourself unconditionally, then you no longer feel guilt and shame. You forgive yourself understanding that "you were only human" to commit a mistake, you did not know any better, life did not give you any user manual to be wise before everything happens. Life is teaching lessons constantly that too through difficult ways, painful ways, emotional ways, so forgive your inner child and love yourself unconditionally. 

When you are able to Forgive & Accept Yourself Unconditionally this "Defensive Ego" DIES! Remember I said above that "you were not born with it" then how did it got developed in you? Because somewhere in the journey of life, you stopped loving, accepting and forgiving yourself instead created a cage of Defensive Intellectual Justifications. See the picture above, the cat in a bird cage? Yes! That's what you have done to yourself. You have created intellectual justifications for all your situations, like why you the cat needs to be inside the bird cage? Or why you the colorful parrots need to hang around a bird cage which has a cat inside? :-)

It's never too late to get rid of this unwanted weight of defensive ego, one less baggage to carry!
Forgive yourself, Accept yourself and Be Courageous.

Being Shiva's Echoflections program is designed to help you get rid of Defensive Ego and take control of your Emotional Well-being.

Million Fingers - Pointing to the same Moon!

Many people read lots of Spiritual Scriptures, Texts, Upanishads, Vedas, Tantra Scriptures and Spiritual Journey of Enlightened, Self-Realized Masters and try to understand them really hard. They try to find the "Ultimate Truth", "Christ Consciousness", "Brahm/Shiva/Shoonya/THAT" in those scriptures. After years of struggle, their efforts go in vain and ultimately they become disappointed by all the Scriptures and starts to "not believe" in any of them. Initially they "believed" in them thinking they will find the Ultimate Truth/Brahm/Shiva/Shoonya/Anatta/No-Self in them. They also feel really surprised by the fact that they all contradict each other, it feels to them as if All Enlightened Masters were against each other and all teachings are opposite of one another. This makes them wonder how come they all achieved to the ONE TRUTH when they can't describe it in a similar way? How come there must be some "Ultimate Truth" when all Scriptures talks about it differently? How can Enlightenment be similar for all these Masters? They think definitely Enlightenment, Self-Realization for one Master may be different from another. Is it really so?

The first point to understand here is that Enlightened Masters lives/lived in different Era/Time, Culture, Country and are surrounded by different people to whom they are explaining their own experience, their journey. That explanation becomes the Sacred, Spiritual Scripture. For example, Yeshua/Jesus was in Jerusalem, Lao Tsu was in China, Nanak, Kabir, Sadhguru, Ramana Maharishi, Osho, Yogananda, Buddha, Nisargadatta and so many others in India, Rumi in Turkey, Adyashanti in the USA, Eckhart Tolle in Germany, Gurdjieff in France and so on. In other words, this means that people living in any country or anywhere on this planet Earth pursue their Spiritual Journey Consciously and are Enlightened, Self-Realized. Enlightenment/Self-Realization is not the private property of some limited age, cast, creed, country, religious people. It happens to all those who are hell-bent upon finding the TRUTH! Who are damn serious about fixing themselves and filling all the holes so they can be WHOLE!

Once anyone is Enlightened/Self-Realized people around notice the change and can't stop asking about it and by and by the word goes around and many become disciples, many come to get guidance and they start explaining by writing or through talks or just through Shakti/Gyan-Power. They are not trying to boast about themselves or pull others down, they are simply trying to explain it using the vocabulary that they have got, and the people around them have got. Enlightenment/Self-Realization "cannot" be explained in any language, through verbal or written communication. Forget about Enlightenment, even "deep love, unconditional love" can't be explained. In fact, anything that Transforms you can't be explained in "words". But still, because the people around want to know, and most of them only understand language/words, hence Enlightened Masters have to explain it using the words/language, cultural/era/time/societal references. So the Sacred Spiritual Scriptures have a different language, tone, cultural references, examples in them. For example, a MOON is called as Chand, Chandrama, Lune, Mond, Mane and so on in different languages and even in one language the poetic reference to Moon will be different than Scientific reference and there could be many subtle meanings of the same words. If anyone reads the Poetry on Moon in different languages I am sure one will "wonder" if all Poets were talking about the "same moon" that he/she is "knows" about? Or every poets' country/place have a different moon? :-) Isn't it? Nowadays we have Google Earth to show us the Sky in real-time but when the world was not so advance and there is no way to communicate with the people of other countries, then one may have thought that the moon visible to him/her is the "special", "private" one and if one ever sees this in the Sky it surely always should be called as Moon only and nothing else.

So you see, all the Enlightened Masters were and are Pointing to the "same moon". All Sacred Spiritual Scriptures are pointing to the "same Truth". But since the Masters were and are in different places and have a different audience around them hence the explanation seems different. So there are thousands of fingers, and all are different from each other, but all are pointing to the "same moon".

Now, the problem comes when you try to find the Ultimate Truth in those Spiritual Scriptures, when you try to find the Moon in the Finger. And then you feel disappointed and create beliefs/non-beliefs/opinions about. But Ultimate Truth, Moon is not there! You will never find it there! All those Scriptures are trying to explain you hundreds of ways you can reach that Moon, hundreds of paths you can follow to reach that moon. There is not one way only to reach there, there are many. Everyone is born with unique karma & sanskaras (Impressions) and hence will walk his/her own path, his/her own way. One needs to find one's own way. These scriptures are giving you a surety that so many others have reached the Moon, so you can too.

When you read these scriptures you try to understand everything using your Mind which is very limited and cannot understand the Infinite, Ultimate Truth and hence everything seems highly contradictory and as if opposing each other. While it is not so. Once you are Enlightened you realize the Truth in every word that is ever written or said about Ascending/Enlightenment/Self-Realization and you realize that they all are same, because "now you have seen the moon" so you can recognize it in every way, everywhere. Until you have "not seen the moon" all fingers seem different and it seems like all are pointing to different moons and because those fingers are talking about the moon then it must be inside those fingers. Until then you feel Truth is not One. Because you don't know the Truth, how can you ever recognize it, understand it? It's not for your mental understanding at all. It is for direct experience! Chanting water, water, water will not quench your thirst. You can't even understand the word "water" just by reading about it and you won't find it's wetness, it's subtle flow and power to satisfy your thirst just by reading about it.

So instead of performing intellectual postmortem of those Scriptures and doing mental gymnastic about them, start focusing on YOU! It's about "You", and not those Enlightened Masters or Scriptures! If you really want to succeed then go within and see if you need to dissolve some blocks or if you need to heal yourself to move forward. See what all you are still attached to? What all you still fear? No Guru, No Master, No Scripture, No Grace, No Magic, No Mantra, nothing can help you Ascend if you are clinging to your fake self in any way. It's your choice, your journey to walk your own hell and come out of it. There are absolutely no shortcuts and no clever buying of tickets to heaven.

Have a head-on collision with all that you call I, Me, Mine!

The one who looks within Awakens! Awakens not on day 1 or day 2 or month 1 or month 2 or year 1 or year 2.... It takes times to get rid of yourself, your fake self, your Jeeva.
