अध्यात्मिक विचार - मनोभ्रन्श्‌ / डिमेन्षिया अथवा भूलने की बीमारी

कई बार मेरे सामने यह प्रश्न आया है की लोगो के जीवन मैं , उनके घर मैं या उनके काम करने की जगह मैं कोई ऐसा व्यक्ति है जिसको भूलने की बीमारी अर्थात डिमेन्षिया है, या फिर आल्झाइमर है. जिनके आस पास ऐसे लोग है, या ऐसा कोई भी व्यक्ति है, उनको बहुत ज़्यादा दुख होता है ऐसे व्यक्ति की हालत देख कर, और लगता है की बस इससे अच्छा तो भगवान उन्हे मृत्यु दे दे, तो शायद उनके कष्टों का अंत हो जाए. क्या ऐसा सोचना उचित है? क्या यह विचार एक डिमेन्षिया मरीज की मदद कर सकते है? अगर नही तो फिर कैसे हम उनकी कोई भी सहायता कर सकते है?

सबसे पहले मनोवैज्ञानिक रूप से हुमको यह समझना होगा की यह बीमारी होती ही क्यों है किसी को भी? तो उसका उत्तर यह है की - हम जिंदगी की लड़ाई मैं इतने उलझ जाते है की अपने उपर ही ध्यान देना छोड़ देते है, सारे दुख, दर्द, पीड़ा अपने अंदर ही दबाते जाते है. शुरू मैं यही करना उचित लगता है, परंतु कहीं ना कहीं एक दिन आता है जब हमने जो अंदर दबाया था वो सब नासूर के जैसा हो जाता है, वो अंतर्मन की पीड़ा इतना ज़्यादा दुख देने लग जाती है की हम उसमे पूरी तरह डूबने लग जाते है. जब कुछ पलों के लिए डूबते है तो बाकी सब कुछ भूल जाते है, यह थोड़ा थोड़ा भूलना धीरे धीरे हमारे अंदर घर कर जाता है, और अंदर की पीड़ा पूरी तरह से जब हावी हो जाती है, तब हम पूरी तरह से भूल जाते है की हम कौन है, कहाँ रहते है, आस पास के लोगो से हमारा क्या रिश्ता है? सब भूल जाते है. इस मानसिक हालत को डॉक्टर या मनोवैज्ञानिक डिमेन्षिया कहते है.

तो क्या करना चाहिए जिससे यह बीमारी ना हो?

जब आप जिंदगी के कठिन रास्तों पे चल रहे हो, या आप कठिन परिस्थियों का सामना कर रहे हों, तो अपने आप को वक़्त देना मत भूलें, अगर कभी रोने का दिल है तो खुल के रोयें, किसी दोस्त की मदद लें, किसी से भी अपने दिल की बात कह लें, और सबसे ज़्यादा आवश्यक है यह समझना की जिंदगी वो कठिनाइयाँ देकर आपको क्या सिखाने की कोशिश कर रही है? जिंदगी या भगवान आपको परेशान करने के लिए नही बैठा है, आपको कुछ सिखाने के लिए बैठा है. लेकिन आप सीखते नही, और बार बार वही समान परिस्ट्ीतियाँ आपका पीछा करती हुई दिखाई देती है.

तो अपने आप से भागना नही है, अपने दर्द को छुपाना नही है, अपना सामना करना है, अपने उस दर्द, उस पीड़ा का सामना करना है, उससे डर के भागना नही है. क्योंकि आज तो शायद आप भाग लेंगे, लेकिन जब वो दर्द, वो पीड़ा आपको पूरी तरह से एक दिन पकड़ लेगी, तब आप अपने आपको ही भूल जाएँगे.

वो गुरु या व्यक्ति जिसने परमात्मा को पा लिया उसकी नज़र मैं तो सारे लोग ही डिमेन्षिया के शिकार है. क्यों? क्योंकि सभी भूल चुके है की वो एक अजर, अमर, आत्मा है. वो भूल चुके है की वो दुनिया मैं सारे लोगो से मिलने और रिश्त्एदारियाँ निभाने नही आए थे, बल्कि आत्मा को परमात्मा से जोड़ने आए थे. जो एक रिश्ता याद रखना चाहिए था वही भूल गये. और जो सब याद है वो किसी काम का नही, वो दुख का कारण है. तो सभी भूले बिसरे है. किसी को भी सही मंज़िल का ज्ञान नही है.

तो अगर आपके आस-पास कोई ऐसा व्यक्ति है तो आप उसके लिए क्या कर सकते है?

सबसे पहले तो यह समझिए की ऐसे व्यक्ति को आपकी दया की ज़रूरत नही है, आपके प्यार की, स्नेह की ज़रूरत है, ऐसा स्नेह जैसा एक माँ अपने बच्चे से करती है. क्योंकि एक आत्मा-ज्ञानी के लिए आप भी ऐसी ही हालत मैं है, तो आप क्या चाहेंगे की आपके उपर वो दया करे, या आपको स्नेह दे, आपको प्यार से समझे, आपकी उस हालत मैं आपका साथ दे, बिना आपसे कोई अपेक्षा रखे? वही देने की कोशिश करें जो आप एक आत्मा-ज्ञानी, एक गुरु से मिलने की अपेक्षा रखते है. 

अगर कभी आपको लगे आज डिमेन्षिया का असर थोड़ा कम है, तो उस व्यक्ति को उसकी पहचान याद दिलाने मैं मदद करें, बिना यह अपेक्षा रखे हुए की उसको कुछ भी याद आ जाएगा. बिना किसी भी अपेक्षा के सेवा करें. यह कर्म आपके अपने जीवन को सुधारेगा. जो व्यक्ति आपको अपनी सेवा का अवसर दे रहा है, वो आपके उपर कृपा कर रहा है, क्योंकि वो आपको अपने अंदर के प्यार, स्नेह को जगाने का एक मौका दे रहा है, आप अपनी परेशानियों के बावजूद भी एक इंसान है, वो आपको उसी इंसानियत को निभाने का मौका दे रहा है. उसको खाली ना जाने दें. सहज, निष्पक्ष भाव से सेवा करें.

आख़िरकार आप एक गुरु से भी तो यही अपेक्षा रखते है ना, की वो बिना गुस्सा किए, सहज भाव से आपको यह याद दिलाने की कोशिश करे की आप एक आत्मा है जो अपना रिश्ता इस जन्म मैं परमात्मा से जोड़नेआई थी. संसार मैं खेलने या माया मैं उलझने नही आई थी. और एक दिन, एक बार मैं याद ना आए तो बहुत धैर्य के साथ बार बार आपको याद दिलाने की कोशिश करें.

यह समझना बहुत ज़रूरी है की मृत्यु से जीवन के दुखों का अंत नही होता. मृत्यु कोई समाधान नही है. आपके सारे दुख दर्द, कर्म आप साथ लेके जाएँगे, अभी भी एक भूली-भटकी आत्मा की तरह जी रहे है, और तब भी यही हाल रहेगा, या शायद इससे भी बुरा हाल होगा. तो डिमेन्षिया, भूलने की बीमारी, या जीवन की किसी भी बीमारी का समाधान मृत्यु नही है. आप अगर ऐसा सोच रहे है की उस डिमेन्षिया मरीज को मौत ही आ जानी चाहिए, जिससे उसको कष्ट नही होगा तो आप यह ग़लत सोच रहे है.

क्या एक गुरु, आत्मा-ज्ञानी आपके लिए यही सोचे, की ऐसे भूली-भटकी आत्मा की तरह जीने से अच्छा है आपको मृत्यु प्राप्त हो जाए? नही!!! हरगिज़ नही! मृत्यु होने से आपकी आत्मा नही जाग जाएगी, मृत्यु होने से आपको यह याद नही आ जाएगा की आपके जीवन का एक मात्र कर्म अपनी आत्मा को परमात्मा की ओर ले जाना था. जो भूल मैं जी रहा था, वो मर कर भी भुला ही रहेगा. शरीर मैं रह के याद आ जाता तभी उस आत्मा का कुछ कल्याण हो सकता था.

तो अब आपको यह नही भूलना है की मृत्यु कोई समाधान नही है, दुखों का अंत नही है. शरीर मैं रह के, आत्मा को परम्त्मा की ओर ले जाना ही एक मात्र समाधान है, वही एक मात्र रास्ता है दुखों के अंत का. परमात्मा की ओर जाने का मतलब पूजा, पाठ, करना नही है, परमात्मा की ओर जाने के लिए योग करना होता है, हट योग, क्रिया योग साधना करनी होती है. रोज के चार मन्त्र पढ़के, एक घंटे पूजा करके, और बाद मैं डिमेन्षिया के मरीज के लिए बुरा सोच के, या किसी के भी बारे मैं बुरा सोच के आप परमात्मा की तरफ नही जा रहे है. परमात्मा को पाने के लिए अपने अहम को त्याग देना होता है, योग साधना की सहायता से, या तो आपका अहम रहेगा, या आपके अंदर परमात्मा का वास होगा.

अंततः यह समझना बहुत ज़रूरी है की आपके घर मैं, या आपकी जिंदगी मैं कोई भी ऐसा व्यक्ति क्यों है, जो डिमेन्षिया का मरीज है, जो भूलने की बीमारी का शिकार है?

ऐसा व्यक्ति आपके जीवन मैं सिर्फ़ इसलिए है, जिससे की आपको याद आ जाए की आप भी भूली-भटकी आत्मा की तरह जीवन जी रहे है. जिससे आपको यह याद आ जाए की आपके अंदर परमात्मा का वास है, जिससे आपको याद आ जाए की आप सच मैं कौन है? उस डिमेन्षिया मरीज की मौजूदगी आपको यह एहसास दिलाने के लिए है, की आप भी तो भूल गये है की आप कौन है, आपको क्या करना चाहिए था, और क्या कर रहे है? आपको किस रास्ते पर जाना चाहिए था, और आप पूरा जीवन कहाँ कहाँ भटकने मैं गुज़ार रहे है.

डिमेन्षिया के मरीज को तो सिर्फ़ वो भूला है जो उसके शरीर से जुड़ा है, सारे रिश्ते-नाते आपके शरीर से जुड़े है, सारी पहचान आपके शरीर से जुड़ी है, तो उसको तो सिर्फ़ वही भूला है. आप तो अपनी ही आत्मा को भूल गये. शरीर तो यहीं रह जाएगा, उसकी सारी पहचान, रिश्ते, नाते सब यहीं रह जाएगा, तो भूल भी गये तो कोई बहुत बड़ी बात नही है, मृत्यु के वक़्त सब कुछ वैसे भी छूट जाना था, परंतु आत्मा तो आप खुद है, उसको भूल गये है तो कहाँ जाएँगे? तो क्या लेके जाएँगे?

डिमेन्षिया के मरीज की हालत इतनी बुरी नही है, जितनी आपकी. आपको शरीर से जुड़ा सब कुछ याद है, तब भी योग साधना की तरफ नही जा रहे है, तब भी अपनी आत्मा को ढूड़ने की कोशिश नही कर रहे है, पैर है, मगर चलना नही चाहते, यादाश्त और दिमाग़ ठीक है, फिर भी सही रास्ते पे चलना नही चाहते, तो ज़्यादा बुरी हालत किसकी है?

आपकी!

सोचिए, विचारिये, कि जिंदगी और आपके आस-पास के लोग, आपकी परिस्तिथिय आपको क्या दिखा रही है, और क्या सिखाने की कोशिश कर रही है. क्या है जो आप सामने देख कर भी सीख नही रहे है?

किसी को डॉक्टर ने सर्टिफिकेट दे दिया है की वो डिमेन्षिया या आल्झाइमर का मरीज है, आपको कौन से गुरु या भगवान से सर्टिफिकेट मिलना चाहिए?

Dementia - Spiritual way out

Questioner - Is there a Spiritual way out for the people suffering with Dementia? I work with Aged Care and many here are patients with dementia and their condition is so serious and it all seems so painful that at times I wish death for them, so they can be relieved from their suffering.

Recently I was asked this question. I answered it in the context at that moment. But the real big picture of that, I thought should be explained in detail.

For those who do not know, Dementia is a medical condition which leads to "forgetfulness", where the sufferer forgets about an event or something small initially and slowly it starts getting worse and a day comes when one forgets even about themselves as to who they are, where they are, and who are the people around them and everything else that is "present" in this life right now, and they are finally "absent". In a nutshell dementia leads to memory disorders, personality changes and impaired reasoning. It's an "absence of awareness" and awareness is always about "being present" and "not absent from present".

Now, if from the perspective of an Enlightened Being you see, then the whole world (except other Enlightened/Self-Realized Beings) is suffering from Dementia. Isn't it? You have forgotten "who" you really are? You have forgotten your own divine nature. You have created so many personalities, faces, identities within you, and you go around in life really confusing yourself with one or more of those identities at any given point of time. And you go around even giving reasoning for their existence. Isn't it? You go on suppressing all pains and fear within, until your brain really becomes numb from all that. You hide so much within and put up a face to not show anything "real" to the world, to the family, friends and people all around you and even to yourself.

Some of you have reached the "height" of this suppression, and will manifest "dementia" as a disease sooner or later. Emotional Suppression when reaches it's height in anyone, where a person goes completely in denial of the "present", the reality, the way life is now, and they start shutting down themselves, they start cutting themselves off from their current reality and there comes a time when it becomes permanent state, and modern science labels it as Alzheimer, Dementia and what not.

So, what can be done with you? Can something be done?

If a plant has droopy leaves, looks very weak, starved then can it be revived? Yes! How? By giving what it truly needs, giving unconditionally. By giving water, fertilizer, rich soil, sunlight/shade whatever that it needs, not what you want to give it. But once the plant is dead from the root can it be revived? No! You can try though.

Same is with you all. If forgetfulness seems to happen frequently, if you have suppressed yourself a lot in life, if you have too much pain, fears, guilt, shame within, if you are emotionally wounded then yes you can be revived. You need "Spiritual Healing" and you can become the "Real You", you can "Invoke the Real You", you can walk your spiritual journey, a journey to find the "real you" and you can find that eternal source of joy, bliss, peace, silence within.

Once dementia has taken its roots within you, once your state of memory loss has become almost a permanent state in you, then there is almost a negligible chance of bringing you back. One can always try though whenever they see such a person aware enough some day. In those moments when a sufferer is having "awareness of present" then one can try, but since any healing actually requires longer period of such awareness, so it's really hard to bring out any positive tangible results in a short amount of time when the "awareness exists".

Everyone around is busy playing around in life thinking they are Mother, Father, Employee, Son, Daughter, Owner of this and that, this person or that person then "what to do" to bring these people back to their Divine Nature? They need someone who can remind them of truly who they are. Someone who can help them realize their True Nature. They need a GURU, who can dispel the Darkness that surrounds them within and without. A Guru who is in acceptance of the deteriorated condition and can hold the sufferer in Unconditional Love.

In the same way, if you are around any person suffering from Dementia, Alzheimer or similar problem, try to first be in acceptance of their condition, hold them, show them "Unconditional Love", because Love heals, and then try to remind them of who he/she is. Your efforts towards reminding them should be completely devoid of any expectations, only full of Total Love (Love that comes out from the "Integration, Wholeness" of the Being), unconditional love.

When an Enlightened Being/Guru looks at the world suffering due to their forgetfulness, they do not wish death upon them, because death is "not the end of suffering". Such deep Karmic Imprints go with the Soul, are not just part of body, hence even when one leaves the body, that forgetfulness will not leave the Soul and the suffering will continue. You have to deal with life, and all the drama, pains, fears, wounds, guilt, shame and everything else while you are alive and aware and are in your body. Death is not the solution to anything.

Leaving the body (what usual people call death) is not the way out, Only Enlightenment/Self-Realization (Death of False Self) is the "end of all suffering", is the "way out".

Last but not the least, "why are you around such patient/sufferer?" Why life has given you such people around? Ask yourself that. Because your outer world is the reflection of your own inner world.

You are around such person/people, because life is trying to show you, teach you - Did you also forget who you truly are? Did you forget your own true/divine nature? Does remembering that you are a Male/Female, Brother/Sister, Spouse, Child, Parent, employee, owner really enough to "end your suffering within"? Does remembering "external relationships" really is of any use? Do you remember your relationship with yourself? Have you forgotten the Ultimate Truth about you?

If Yes, then what are you doing to take a U-Turn? What are you doing to fix it? You have your awareness alive, if you are still not using it, then why pity a dementia patient? If despite having legs you are not choosing to walk then why feel pity for those who have no legs? If despite having all means you are not pursuing a journey to find the "real you", "true you", then why feel painful for those who have forgotten that they were Mr/Mrs XYZ, brother/sister, teacher, spouse, friend of ABC?

Shouldn't you be saving those tears for yourself?

Please do some serious thinking & contemplation.

Love & Blessings

Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh: Osho The Great Tantra Master

Osho has always been in controversies on one side while on the other side, his transformation techniques, his ego destruction pathways, strategies to bring out all suppression and his wisdom has touched hundreds of thousands of Souls, who very deeply will always be in love and deep gratitude towards him. This mixture of feelings, skepticism that surrounds him always keep him alive in one way or the other.

Now, as you understand that after Enlightenment/Self-Realization, the remaining momentum of Prarabdha Karma (Current Life karma) has to go on and at times it is a difficult one to bear and live with. Regardless though when Divine has awakened through anybody, then it's the reflection of nothing but that Divine only.

Years were spent by people all around the world going for psychological counselling, spending a lot of time and energy, all in vain. Then there was Osho who had the craziest but sure-shot successful practical techniques to bring out childhood issues, traumas, deep hidden Unconscious patterns. His techniques were true, though harsh ways to bring out the suppressed in anyone. That was not acceptable to many in society who call themselves sane. That sane society was good with doing the same thing behind closed doors, living in suppression, but was overwhelmed when was shown the underground reality of the human nature in broad day-light.

That society hasn't changed a bit yet, instead, the way population is increasing, this society is growing by leaps and bounds. It's still the same as it was 100 years ago, where visiting strip-clubs, extra-marital affairs and indulgence in casual-sex despite being married are acceptable, but even talking about polygamy is a crime. As long as polygamy/polyandry is wrapped as something else like "relationship of convenience" it is fine with the so-called sane people. A childhood victim of any kind of abuse dreams of abusing another child and instead of talking about this openly and helping that person Heal his/her childhood wounds, this society waits until another child is actually abused and then wants to kill this abuser/criminal. Husband & Wife might be fighting like cats & dogs and wreaking havoc on kids in the house, most of them sleep in different bedrooms often, but their social media accounts will be full of pictures displaying "Marital Harmony and Made for each other" kind of love. These people have messed up the true meaning of love and peace. These people have distorted the truth beyond imagination.

Unconsciousness propagates like a disease through such hypocritical people and this so-called sane society. And that's what Osho was trying to show, the reality of closed doors, closed minds, hidden boundaries.

These unconscious society/people are the reason many Tantra Gurus whether Indian or Buddhist Vajrayana or French, they work in secrecy. It's hard to even find them, much difficult to get any tantric teachings from them. 90% of the world population would have broken those nonsensical unconscious boundaries if the world has 5-6 more like Osho.

When the whole world was busy creating and deciding the moral-immoral structures, and loads of prejudices based boundaries were being created, there was Osho teaching how to break social, moral, all possible boundaries including body, mind, emotions, energy and was waging war in all possible ways against Unconsciousness.

All the organizational scandals driven by Ananda Sheela are a perfect example of Unconscious existing with Supreme Consciousness. They are a perfect example of Black existing with White for both to be visible in duality.

Despite all odds and controversies, the kind of Magic that Osho created is beyond words. The world might have to wait for hundreds of years to have another magical spiritual luminary like Him.

If you are a seeker you must really be asking yourself a question - Are you ready to break all seen and unseen boundaries that you have, right away, right now? Are you really a courageous one who truly wants to be a Yogi? Know that some feats are for brave ones only, some mountains do not let just anyone and everyone step on them. The summit of those mountains is in the clouds.

To date Tantra is the fastest sure-shot way of being Enlightened, being Self-Realized. Question your own endurance & courage before you question the path or the Guru.

Osho was a great Tantra Master and knew how to pull the rug from under your feet, and how to totally expose you to the Real You.

If you still have reservations about life, your image, your relationships and all the other drama, then just find any other Guru who teaches by playing within the boundaries of your unconscious and who can teach to fatten your Ego. Do not look for Osho's teachings and/or any other Tantra Guru then.

To all Braveheart, To all Warriors, To all Yogis,
Blessings & Love,

Why my Guru can't Heal Me?

Many people come to me who already have a Guru and sometimes many Gurus in their life to support their Spiritual Journey. And the problem is that their Guru is not providing any support to Heal them, Heal their Karmic Wounds, showing them ways to heal, change perception and move on. They often hear one line statement that Guru is NOT a Healer/Therapist. 

Well, that's a very sad state of affairs and people often ask - Are Spiritual Gurus just for spiritual talks/discourses/practice/sadhana discussions only, and should they not be looking into Karmic Pasts, discuss the remaining wounds, seeds and help the student/disciple parch them, burn them successfully?

It's a very sensitive question to answer because everyone has a wounded karmic past, everyone is carrying emotional wounds, and pain within. Those who have acknowledged the existence of that pain within are looking for remedy through different means and many are using this pain to change life-style, find deeper meaning to life, and yet many are using this pain to transcend the limitations of body, mind and emotions. 

Real Gurus are very less, and the population of students/disciples is very large. Hence it may not be possible to council/discuss the pains of everyone, but this fact doesn't deny the "need" to do so. A guru is not just your spiritual guide to discuss Sadhana/Practices, share Wisdom, but a true Guru is like a Mother, who just wants child’s ultimate well-being, and for that is ready to at times scold, hold, love, befriend, energise, teach, help, heal or do whatever is necessary. Only a TOTAL Existence (Self-Realised Guru) can hold, heal and do whatever it takes to really bring out another Total Existence in a person.

Yes, many Gurus do not want to be therapist/healer and such Gurus are nothing more than University Professors who wants to stick to their subject only, without ever helping students learn the relationship between subjects like Physics and Biology.

Life is holistic, Spiritual Journey is holistic, it includes pain, vasanas, sanskaras, karma and all that can be included, because a Being is inclusive of everything. Pain is part of the journey, and if it's stopping the spiritual growth of any student/disciple then a Guru must advise ways, understanding regarding how to relieve it, how to heal it and let go, move on. 

I have full respect for the importance of Guru Lineages, and Conventional Wisdom, but Ultimate Wisdom is “Becoming Love”, Total Love. That’s where all the Power/Shakti of the Creator is. We can only change someone partially/mentally/emotionally through words, but we can Transform anyone, anything with Love, not just people, but places, 5 Elements, Celestial Beings, Cosmos, anything.

Self-Realised Gurus are Total Love. Hence they are more like Mothers than University Professors. 

Blessings to all,

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!

For those who are ready to deal with themselves please visit Being Shiva Foundation and email me at BeingShivaFoundation@yahoo.com
