Well, we all wonder how our minds look like. Then the above image will give you the reflection of it. Your mind is just like a plain piece of paper, absolutely nothing written on it. When I say nothing absolutely nothing. That’s your mind.
Ever you experience your no-mind state, this is what you come across in you. Your mind is not limited to your brain but has been spread to your entire body. (more…)
The first thing you need to understand about the negative thought pattern is that it’s an internal thing. It’s your subtle world that gets caught up in a certain way that creates negative thought patterns.
Usually, we get into some situation or meet people, that allow us to form negative perception towards life, but when you look deep inside, you realize that it’s not the situation or people that fill you up with negativity. It’s only when your life energy (spirit), mind and physical body gets arranged in a certain way that forms the negative thought patterns inside.
Before you overcome the negative thought patterns of your mind, it’s important to understand the base of the negative thought patterns. One thing needs to be clear in the mind, that negative thought patterns have nothing to do with the outside situation, people or events of your life and it’s an internal thing. (more…)
Personal identity is developed by the mind, out of different experiences and impressions of life over the time.
Everyone holds the personal identity into his mind, as its natural process of the mind. The way mind thinks, and forms imagination, in a similar way, out of all your experiences and impressions of life, you form a personal identity.
When you recognize your personal identity, it’s easier to understand yourself and the process of life.
Your personal identity drives you, with every choice and decisions of life, and knowingly or unknowingly you have to follow, as it becomes your nature.
To understand your personal identity and drop it for ever, takes a whole process for you to go through. That’s the path of spirituality.
The spiritual path is to discover yourself beyond your personal identity. If you consider yourself the physical body and the image of your mind, and if there is something more to it, exists within you, and that is the truth, than will you not like to discover, beyond what your mind, already created for yourself?
Your personal identity is a bunch of the past experiences and impressions.
Whenever you sit alone, try to analyze what you think?
You can only think what already happened in the past, and what different can you do, in the future. When the situation comes in the present moment, sometimes you are able to execute your thoughts, and sometimes you get driven by the situation.
The real importance to know one’s personal identity is to go beyond it. You can only move beyond the identity of your mind, if you can realize it in your mind.
Otherwise, the same process of past, present and future continues into your mind, and your past, present and future too revolves around the identity of your mind.
Your very own personal identity separates you, from the truth of life. If you are in pain, pain is real. If you experience pleasure, pleasure is real.
If you can really notice, when you are happy, or even when you are sad, you are happy both in the heart and in your mind, and when you are sad, you are sad too, both in your heart and in the mind too.
If someone hit hard, on your legs, with a rod you feel pain. Where you will feel pain, in your legs, but if you notice, you will realize that part of your mind, is also in pain.
These part of your mind, i.e. personal identity, that also goes in pain and pleasure simultaneously, when any part of your body, mind and heart experience different thoughts, feelings or emotions.
That means when you are sad, you are disheartened at the level of heart, and at the same time, the personal identity that you have created in your mind, also gets disheartened, because of its attachment with the body, mind and heart.
The problem is, not that the personal identity gets sad and happy, when something goes right or wrong with your life. The problem is, your personal identity exaggerate every thoughts, feelings and emotions within you, out of a single experience, and creates a whole bunch of illusion into your mind, that separates you from the reality of life.
What attracts you towards the celebrities is there larger than life portrayal, but do you think when it comes to reality, they are anything different than, the way you live?
“The mega projection of celebrities in the mind of an average man is a fine example of, how mind deceives human, by creating a larger than life portrayal of a person or any situation, out of his imagination.”
The situation makes you happy and you have to be happy, and when the situation makes you sad, you are supposed to be sad, no problem with it. But when you are happy, and you begin to spread that happiness, with all your different situations of life, only at the level of mind, than that’s the problem. The happiness you experienced yesterday, but for some reason, your mind keeps you happy for the longer period of time, because you can still relate yourself, with that experience in this moment.
Now you might think that, it’s good to be happy all the time, and it’s good, if you can take the happiness of one situation to the other, but be careful when your personal identity carries happiness of one situation into another, than it also knows, how to spread your pain, to your entire life.
You might have come across people, those who don’t feel good about their childhood, or say different experiences of their life. It’s because the identity that they hold inside of themselves, like to spread what had already past, into all the different situations and events of their life.
They are unknowingly suffering, out of their ignorance, and nobody can help them, to come out of their suffering, except themselves. The personal identity knows how to expand an idea, into an entire life, and if it’s positive your life is heaven and if its negative, your life is hell. The solution is, life is possible, even after dropping the identity created by your mind.
Life is beautiful, and all your past, present and future has its own place, at different stages of your life, but you cannot allow yourself to live in the ignorance, that completely push you away from the reality of life.
The role of personal identity is to create dreams, desires, go to the past, create the future, and all these things are happening purely in the mind. Sometimes it’s possible for you to act, on few of your desires and it becomes possible in your life, and thus you begin to trust the thought process of your mind.
The mind has its nature and it follows its nature. Personal identity is a subtle part of the mind that needs to attach itself with something for its existence. If it doesn’t relate with anything, it cannot stand on its own. It’s an illusory part of the mind.
The mind creates illusive personality for its existence; otherwise mind cannot stand on itself. Mind doesn’t have its own roots, so it attaches itself with different people, situation, events or experiences of life.
You might think that its, mind that thinks into the past or the future or the attention gets shifted of the mind into the past or the future, but that’s not the case.
It’s always personal identity that makes choice, decision and shifts his attention and looks for the references in the past for the present moment, or thinks for the future. It’s the personal identity that continuously go on and on, into your mind.
All your perception and perspective towards life, comes in context to your personal identity. Your life depends upon, how you mold your personal identity, but mind you, when you bring the shift to your personal identity, your life still remains at the level of mind.
There is a life possible beyond the personal identity of your mind. You can drop your personal identity, and still live life with grace. When you drop your personal identity, the only thing that remain with the mind, is your attention.
Focus, attention, concentration is part of the mind, while awareness, consciousness, wakefulness, is part of the observer in you that exists beyond mind.
The mind knows how to focus, while the observer knows how to see. The mind perceives life through senses, while observer can perceive life both through the mind and senses.
When the Observer observes life through senses, it drops the mind that means the experience of the past and idea of the future, and simply perceives life in the moment. When it perceives through the mind, it considers the past, and future of the situation or event, before he makes a choice or decision in the present moment.
The personal identity simply keeps you entangle with the repetitive process of life. Most of the time, you repeat the experience of the past into the present moment and, when you think into the future, you only think to expand your past experiences into the future.
You remain with the personal identity created by the experiences of your life, and you never experience life, beyond yourself.
The process of evolution serves you to identify your personal identity, but life also has an alternative, whereby, you can consciously choose the path of evolution, and recognize your identity, and rise above it.
The life exists beyond personal identity, where you experience bliss and wisdom of life. You can experience yourself as pure energy and vibrations. Energy is an experience of bliss, and with the higher vibrations, you experience the ultimate.
All the experiences of life big or small lie within you. You have to look at life, beyond what already exists, and you come face to face with the reality of life.
There are different ways to look beyond your personal identity. Before you move into the experience, you need a clear intent from within. Once your mind is clear, what it wants, it automatically drives you, into the direction of your experience.
“You never receive anything, unless you call for it. It always you, who move towards the experience or attract the experience, either consciously or unconsciously.”
Life is clear what to bring to you and, only you are confused, with what you want out of life. Once you get clarity inside, life always serves you at every point, with everything that you ask from life.
Physical exercise, attention on breathe, meditation are the simple tools that can serve you to experience life, beyond mind., but before you pick any of the technique, you have to be absolutely clear from inside, what you are looking with life.
You can go on meditating for years, or pick any of the technique; nothing will work, unless you are absolutely clear from inside. If you don’t tell your mind, where to go with life, with the past experience, he always knows, where he wants you to take with life.
Experiencing life is important to take your life forward. There are two types of experiences, either spiritual or situation based experience. With situation based experience, you simply repeat the process of life, sometimes moving forward and sometimes moving backward.
Situation based experiences are limited to mind, that you go through each day with life. Simply sit down with yourself, and look at your week and see how many times, you have repeated the same process of life, without reaching anywhere.
Some people may think, that they always try something new with their life, but remember you cannot do anything other than, what exists in your mind. Even you think you tried something new, also has come up, from the impressions that you has been stored into your mind. (more…)
Nature is a way of living. Everyone has its nature developed over the time. It includes the daily habits, environment, circle, experience, impressions and the perception, that allows the person to create and experience his life.
To follow your nature, means to follow everything that takes place inside of you. From your breath to sensation, feelings, or emotions, thoughts, or energy. Follow means to follow. Follow means you are following. No command or order to your mind, heart and body.
If you have asked to follow a person. Do you use your mind and heart or simply follow his foot steps. In a similar way, you have to follow your nature. It’s an experiment. To experience life with absolutely different perspective. Live experiment with life.
It feels good, when things happens to others, both success and failure, but if anything that happens to others, doesn’t bring any change within you. The things should happen to you, and that too from within, to bring the real change with your life.
In daily coarse of life, you become the driver, and you drive your life. When you simply follow your nature, you may be drive the car, but you don’t know the destination. So you ask. You ask your mind, heart and body. You are new to the city and to your system. All you can do, is just follow.
You follow your breath, sensation, feelings, emotions and thought process. You always like to dominate every part of your life. You want to control, but you forget that, you are limited, in this limitless existence. You want to control your breathe too. When you don’t feel the flow of breathe, you do everything to get the rhythm going, but do you really think, its because of you, that life is taking place within you.
“Experiment with your life, and become the spectator of everything that goes inside of you. Try to follow everything. From breathe to sensation, and from feelings to your thoughts.”
Carry your daily task, but simultaneously remember to follow everything. Don’t try to take charge of anything, but simply follow. When the energy shifts the direction, don’t try to use force, to turn it in your way, but simply follow the flow of energy.
When you simply drive the car, as a driver, you hardly have your own destination, and you follow the direction of your passenger. Try to be a driver in your body, and follow the direction of your mind, heart and body.
The driver of a car, knows the thoughts and moods of his passenger, because his job is to follow the instructions of his passenger. His mind is empty. His job is to follow, the instructions of his passenger. He doesn’t have the mind of his own.
When you are utterly empty, of your own ideas of life, it becomes easier to understand life, i.e. happening both around and within you.
When you follow your nature, you observe from where does all the actions, feelings, emotions, or the thought process takes place.
Initially when the process is new, it becomes hard to follow. If you try to follow your breath, your mind will be diverted after few seconds, and you will forget about the entire process. If you recollect again, and try to get into the process, again you have to initiate the process. The process gets on and of again, as you are habituated to drive your life, out of old ways .
When you follow your life, and begin to observe your life minutely, you realize that, in reality you are not the one, who drives life, but your life is always on an automation mode. The mind and heart simply creates thoughts and feelings out of experiences and impressions from the past, and your life is driven by it.
All your dreams and desire’s are nothing, but part of the experiences and impressions, you have accumulated sometimes in the past. Life is a continuous process, and you are part of the process. When you follow your nature, you can observe the same process, which is happening through you, as a detached observer.
The body follows the instructions of your mind and heart. The mind and heart works from the accumulated experiences and impressions. You have to see, either you choose each experience and impressions of your life, or life simply happens to you.
If life simply happens to you, your response or reaction to the situation, also comes out from the past. It may seem like, new things are happening each day, but in reality, you simply repeat the same process of life.
You live with the same old mind and heart, that doesn’t know, how to pick the fresh experiences from life, or to think new thoughts or expand his imagination to add freshness to life. The feelings and emotions too depends upon what’s going on, into your mind, and thus nothing new comes out, even at the level of heart.
When you follow your nature, you bring awareness to life. You simply follow your mind, heart and body and observe where and how it leads to you into different direction. You don’t interfere, but you simply follow. If you interfere, you don’t understand the mechanism of it.
It’s very important to understand, how mind, heart and body drives you through sensation and force you to do things, that may have never took place, if you would have had little awareness in those moment.
Following your nature not only allows you to understand the inner mechanism, but you also understand many illusory stories, created by your mind.
When you are into life, you are carried away by the thoughts and emotions from the past. You are never actually present in the moment, but always dreaming yourself into the illusory world created by your mind.
When you follow your nature, you take a back seat and allow the life to happen. You don’t push yourself around, but you simply follow the energy. There is no resistance to life. There is no judgement, but to flow with the pull of energy.
If the mind and heart wants you to do something, you don’t resist, but you follow them. You are alright with everything. When you follow, you understand how the things takes place.
You follow the process of your breath, moving in and out. You don’t breathe, but you follow. No attention but awareness. No force, but simple presence, as a witness. When you follow, you don’t want the world to happen your way, but you see what’s needed in the moment, and with the awareness, you complete the process.
You follow your nature of the mind, heart and body to learn, to know the process of both the inside as well as outside life. Everything has a process. You too have a process. When you simply go on living the process, you don’t develop understanding towards it. You have to develop the technique, that separates you, from your repetitive patterns of life, so that you can understand, what is really happening within you and outside life.
Your attachment with yourself, creates the illusory world for you, and you nourish it, by further developing the same, into your reality.
Say for e.g. someone’s father is a barber. Now their tradition says, that his son too has to be a barber. Now, if the son has something else to follow, but the pressure around him, is so much, that its difficult for him to get away from the set tradition around him. What he does, he give up, into his tradition.
The same thing happens, when you don’t understand life and go on living it. You simply follows the tradition. Sometimes people don’t know, what they have to do with their life, and thus they are forced to do things, what’s happening into their surroundings.
“When you don’t know what to do with your life, doesn’t suggest that, you do things, that are not at all meant for you. You have to give yourself sometime, and figure out what you really need to do with your life, but for that you need deeper understanding of yourself.”
You have to understand, how your inner system has been developed, by now and how the real changes, is possible with it.
The inner nature can be known, not out of query, but by living it. To follow the nature of your body, heart and mind, puts you into a practical mode. The life on the existence, which is happening, is very much alive. You become part of an experiment and get a live experience out of it. No theory, but you live practical life.
You get one with life. You observe your breath, you stay aware of your sensation, and you follow your feelings and emotions. You don’t judge your thoughts or imagination, but you simply follow them, till the end.
It’s not necessary that you act, on each of your thoughts or emotions, but when you follow them, you observe the unnecessary part of thoughts and emotions, that gets dropped, simply with the power of observing.
Even with your daily life, you don’t act on each of your thoughts, or show every feelings or emotions, but you act, only on those, that you think useful, and take action upon it.
To follow your nature allows you to create a pause between the actions. With a pause, you can see the past, present and future of the action. When you follow your life, that little pause, allows you to see, the direction of your life.
You only understand something, if you see the past, present and future of it, and you cannot see the life, in its natural form, unless you get detached with it.
To understand something, you have to be, very much become the part of it, be it your mind, heart and body. You cannot stand against something to know it, but you have to befriend with it. When you follow your nature, you connect with the deeper intrinsic nature, that reveals the hidden secrets of life, to you.
Many times you see your loved one’s, and your heart fills with joy. Have you ever imagined, what makes your heart click that way, with only few, and why the rest of the world, doesn’t ring the same bell into your heart. The reason is, your pleasant memories or special moments with your loved one’s.
The happy moments with anyone is always remembered and cherished by the heart. You never forget those moments, and even when you remember in the worst phase of your life, it still brings a smile to your face.
Collect the happy moments, with everyone in your circle, and add more and more joy to your life. Don’t wait for the festive season or golden moments, but resolve yourself to make each experiences you come across, into your circle a happier one.
Happy moments add joy and happiness to life, and it makes life more lively. Don’t wait for the happiness to come to you, but begin the process from your side, and life will automatically respond to you. The life has strange way to act. If you develop a deep desire into your heart, and begin to follow it, life too tends to respond to you. This is the way of life.
Happiness or even sadness don’t come to people, but people consciously choose to stay in those state. Yes sometimes, life puts us into a situation for the life’s lesson, but no way that suggest that, you carry the past sadness, all the way to your future. You have to learn to drop all the pain and sadness behind, and learn to move forward with life.
Forgiveness is the key to life. When you come in contact with people, the relationship doesn’t remain same all the time, but you notice different emotions, at different times with people.
If you tend to recollect past events, and live the present life, you certainly carry the past garbage into your present life, but if you enter into your life, with the fresh approach, and move with all the joy and happiness into your heart, you certainly change the direction of the relationships, out of choice.
“When you consciously choose to make each experience of life blissful, you allow the positive impression and experience to spread over, into your circle. This allows you to attract more of such situations, events and experiences into your life, as everything in life completes the circle.”
If you send out hatred, it completes the circle, and if you send love, joy, laughter and happiness, it too completes the circle of its own. Whatever you send out, it comes back to the person.
If you really wish to add life, to every relationships, you have to take initiative from your side.
Life is too short to waste on unnecessary things. Every moment of life is equally important and each one should make all the necessary effort, requires to make most out of it. Life has its own purpose to serve, and that purpose is served, in full exploration of human potential.
Your thoughts, emotions, energy and actions rubs into your circle, and spread in your environment. Each one of us, has a choice, to either stand up for what we really want out of life, or we simply accept what life offers us.
Man has a power to move mountains, than do you think, it would be difficult for man, to add joy and happiness to everyone’s life, of whosoever he comes in contact with. When you add joy and happiness into the life of people, you do more favor to yourself than others.
Life follows different mechanism inside. Whatever you wish to share outside, it gets created inside first, either love or hatred. You are affected more by, what you share outside. Before you think to destroy someone outside, the part of you get destroys inside, because it takes equal amount of energy in planning and plotting things to destroy others.
On the other hand, if you think to add love, joy and bliss into the life of others, you have to fill yourself up, with all that stuff.
Never be afraid to share your expression, with the world, if you think it can make the world beautiful. If you have an idea go for it, if you have a thought, try to finish up the thought. Don’t worry about the consequences. This is how, you learn the lessons of life. You have to experiment with life, before you gained enough experience.
Your job is to express the best of yourself to the world, and then wait for the response from life, but if you simply stop playing your part, you cannot expect any response from life.
You cannot allow your mind, heart and body to do things, that simply brings the downfall to your life. Every thought, feelings or emotions can either take you forward or can make you fall backward. You have to choose for yourself.
If for some reason, you don’t get the thoughts, that take you forward, you at-least have a choice, to not act on the thoughts, or feelings, that create more stress to your life. At-least you can hold yourself back with life, for sometime. Even that can add to your advantage.
The process of life is understood, not only moving forward but sometimes, also falling backward. Only when you fail or fall, you realize the real importance, of moving forward with life.
“Sometimes, there are deeper lesson’s of life, that can only be learnt, when you pull yourself out of life, and simply sit and observe everything around you. This gives you a clear reflection of your life.”
You can only give, if you know what you want, for your life. You can only add happiness to others lives, if you really know what truly satisfies the people, and what are the people’s need, deep down inside.
People don’t care what you give to them, but what they care about, is how you made them feel. We all are emotional beings, and we only understand the language of heart. The memories and experiences of life, always stays forever in peoples heart. Strive for the better experiences and better memories, for your people, and you will satisfy them, to the core of their heart.
Any experience or impressions gets transmitted to the body through senses and gets recognized by each cell of the body through sensation. Each cell of the body has information. Whatever you come across in your life, in the form of situation, events, experience or impressions, that part of the cells, gets alive in your body, and reaction develops from within to the outside situation.
It’s important to know this truth, that the situation, events, experience or impressions of outside life, makes inactive cells alive to what you already have inside of you. In active cells carry the information from the past experiences and impressions, and when you simply understand this basic truth, you tend to rise above your daily repetitive situation, to rise above it.
When you know the truth, you work to apply into your life, and bring the necessary change with it. If you simply carry on with your life, the old information, simply put you into the automation mode and you attract the same situation or react the same old way to your present situations or events of your life.
Life is all about growth both from the inside as well as outside level. The outside change everyone is familiar with, where more and more accumulations you have, more successful you become, while the inner success is achieved, when you let lose yourself, with everything that you hold inside, in the form of information.
Your life is controlled by the outside situations and events, and not only that but your response too, is pre-decided to the situation and events of your life.
Nobody is really bothered to look, how the life takes place inside of them. The natural process of life, that takes place in the existence, the same natural process of life, takes place inside, and more and more you dive deep inside, more and more you come closer to the natural process of life.
Let see, how the cells of your body imparts the information in live situation. Say, in the moment, you are hungry or not hungry. You have come across the favorite dish, that you haven’t had since long time, in some advertisement.
Now, when you sit for your break-fast, lunch or dinner, that favorite dish will come to your mind, again and again, and within few days of time, your body and mind will compel you to go for that favorite dish.
The psychology of mind is the transmission of information, in different situations, that you have acquired from the past.
Now what happens, in this case, that you already had the informationof your favorite dish, into your system, but as you have come across the same, the cells of your body, begin to respond and later forced you to act on the information. The same applies to all the situations of your life.
In one or the other way, you make a choice for the experiences and impressions that you wish to have, out of the information that you carry into your system. You come across the same experience and impressions, again and again and that will become the part of your system.
You activate the past information too from inside, with just a simple impressions or experience you have in the moment. If you don’t like anything in the outside world, than with the little awareness in the moment, you can make a shift to something, that you like.
Remember cursing, resisting, rejecting will not solve the problem of your life, but you have to understand that anything, which you feel unpleasant outside in the form of experience, will activate more of the similar impressions and experiences from the past from your body. Its better to drop all that doesn’t serve you, in your life and try to hold as much goodness, as you can in your day to day life. Slowly and gradually the transformation happens.
You create, design or manifest your life, in a similar way. There are very few souls, who holds courage to rise above the mundane process of life, and expand their imaginative mind, to explore life of beyond. Majority of them are happy, simply repeating the same process of life.
“Its not necessary for you to respond to your life, the way you have responded in the past, and if you don’t have the fresh response, for the situation in the moment, than at-least you know how, not to act, the way you have acted in the past.”
This itself will help you to break the patterns of life. This doesn’t let you free from the action, but now you have to be more alert and aware of every moment of your life, and allow it to pass with awareness.
Holding yourself back is not an easy thing, and again it will pull all your energy from your system. You will get tired in a similar way, the way you get tired acting, in every situation and events of your life, and responding and reacting to all the inner as well as outside thoughts.
To simply remain a witness to your life, takes everything out of you, because the impressions and experiences from the past, wants you to respond or react out of every situation. I am not saying, you have to sabotage yourself, but this very act will empower you, at the end of the day, and you will have more clarity with whats going on, both in the outside as well as inside life.
You allow the information from the past to take over, if you act into every situation or events of your life. This doesn’t mean you should not act, but action should be after prolonged thinking and should not lead you, to the past. You always know in the moment, that this act will take you forward with life, or you are simply repeating the same process of life.
Break all the repetitive patterns of life. With the old information, you cannot create something new, but if you become successful in not acting the way, you have acted in the past, you have break the patterns of the past.
Its not only to participate is a choice, but not to participate is also a choice. Both decided the future path.
There are three ways to act on life. Either you act, out of what you have acquired from the past, and create what you have already created. You can also allow the logical mind to raise the query, into different situations of life, and stop yourself to move forward with life and take yourself backward.
The last option for you, is to remain open to life and look at every situation of life, with awareness, and simply remain curious to know even little aspect of life. Don’t worry where life will lead you, because nobody goes anywhere else. Everyone remains under the sun, and on earth.
If you remain open to life, the changes begins inside, and slowly you certainly attracts the outside situation according the the energy and vibrations that you radiate from inside.
With life at every step you accumulate experiences and impressions. Life is all about experiment and experience. You cannot understand anything unless it becomes the part of your personal experience and for the experience, you have to experiment with life.
Try a simple experiment for a day, and experience breakthrough changes with your life. Keep on dropping all the accumulated experiences and impressions, just for the day. Don’t cling to anything, but let lose yourself with anything and everything that happens to you for the day.
The nature of the mind is to cling to everything and take you on a ride, but you simply tell your mind to drop everything and keep moving forward, and as you move on, it becomes easier to drop the past and experience life in its natural form.
No feelings or emotions in the moment is true or false, but the truth of the experience only lies in the moment, and rest what remains the impressions of it. When it comes to the truth of life, the experiences and impressions remains the truth, till you experience it, and as you move forward, it turns into a memory.
Life doesn’t repeat itself even for the moment, but you have a choice to slip back into the past or create the future into your mind, out of your past experience. When you simply choose to remain present with the experiences and impressions of life, you don’t cling to it, but you experience it deeply to leave them behind.
The life in the present moment is always full of bliss and wisdom. The truth of life is not hidden in the experiences and impressions of life, but the one who experiences it. This is the deepest secret of life and biggest mystery to be unveiled by the human within himself.
Let me pose few queries about your personal identity:
If I ask you, who experiences life?
And your reply, will be, ” I am the one, who experience life.”
Who are you?
And you make up with your name, Tony or Mike.
Now is the name really, who experience life or its much deeper, as the name of a person is always acquired from outside.
If not the name, than who?
You may come up with the reply, “It’s me with my body.”
Now with the physical body your experience remains limited to the physical touch, while with the other sense organs, the experiences are registered in the mind and experience through different sense organs.
The senses are the connection between the mind and the outside world, and the sensation in the body allows you to have the different experiences of life, through senses and mind. You are neither the sensation nor the senses, than who are you?
If you are neither the name nor the body, nor the senses and sensation of the body, than who are you?
This question can never be resolved in the logical way, and purely based on personal experience.
When you observe your mind, and move deeper into it, step by step moving with the breath, and later following your sensation, feelings and emotions, you experience thoughts, in the form of waves, passing through the mind.
Beyond the waves, you experience the subtle imaginary part into your mind, that you experience in the form of sensation. All the imagination of physical reality comes alive, from this part of the mind.
Remember to observe your own thoughts and images of your mind, needs focused attention on oneself, and as you move deeper into your mind, your personal identity developed over time, through different experiences and impressions of life, tend to shed away.
In reality your personal identity in the moment, depends upon the attention, you put into. As your attention gets shifted, your personality gets change with the attention. When you expand your self-projection inside, into your subtle imaginary mind, your actions in the physical world reflects the same, and you create larger than life, outside.
When the same attention is bring back to oneself, you tend to drop all the subtle imaginary part of the mind, that you have carried all the way through, in the form of different experiences and impressions of life.
Your personality can never be different from the experiences and impressions you have gone through, with your life.
When the attention of the mind, is bring back to oneself, where all the experiences and impressions of life, gets stored, you simply drop all the experiences and impressions of life, to realize your original self, i.e. of pure emptiness or nothingness, out of which all the thoughts and images of your mind arise.
When you dive deep into your mind, you move beyond the thoughts and images, and with it, you leave all the experiences and impressions of the mind behind.
“This is the magic of life. The mind identifies itself with different experiences and impressions of life, and creates a personality out of it, which is hard to break, unless you rise above the thoughts and images of mind, that’s been involved in creating it.”
The self-realization or self-actualization is dropping the false identity, that you have acquired over the time, and the day you learn to drop the same experiences and impressions behind, you tend to come closer to the truth of life, both outside and inside.
The physical body is not the primary body but the secondary body, while the subtle body is the primary body that allows the transmission of thoughts, emotions and energy to the physical body.
The subtle body remains locked with the physical body at the spine, at different points.
When the mind attains no thought state, in deep meditation, you develop the possibility to awaken the inner pull of energy or vital force, that detaches the physical body from the subtle one and allows you to experience the subtle body.
The sensation is part of the subtle body, and thus in near death experience or out-of-body experience, with the subtle body the sensation too travels outside the body, and the physical body remains movement-less in those period.
The brain and heart are part of the physical body, but the function of the brain and heart is possible, if the subtle body releases the energy to it. The subtle body holds the past experiences and impressions of life, in a subtle form.
When you move deeper in your realization, you can also observe the movement of the subtle body and in those moments, you realize that you are not even the subtle body, but an observer who can see the movement of the subtle body.
The observer simply observes the movement of both the subtle as well as physical body, and notice its movement both inside as well as outside.
With the experience of the observer you notice that, there is nothing to go beyond the observer, and all the deepest experience of realization ends into an observer.
“Observer or pure consciousness is an empty space with a higher vibrations, while the subtle body holds the life energy or life force. The higher vibrations pulls the moving energy or the subtle body upward to get stabilize in itself.”
The attention of the mind is the one, that takes you outside through senses, to manifest physical life and the same attention of the mind, when diverted inside, explore the higher consciousness or the source of life.
If you go on filling yourself with different experiences and impressions of life, without emptying yourself, you can never realize the truth from inside.
When you drop everything that you see and feel through sensation, with the time, you start emptying yourself from inside, and pure energy flows from within, to connect you with the natural process of life.
When the same energy is pulled upward to the pineal gland, by the sheer force of higher vibrations, you realize the observer or pure consciousness, which is the source of life.
You see yourself in the physical form, with the mind and heart. But where do you come from? Where do your parents come from and parents, parents come from?
Everything has a source. Look at the tree, sunlight, river, ocean, everything has a source. Nothing comes out of the blue. It may happen that you might not have looked into that direction. You too have a source within you, from which your body, mind, and heart appears.
You have to experience the source within yourself, and once you realize the source, you can also connect with the higher source, out of which the entire universe exists. It may not possible in the moment, to realize your source, but as you may have come across the quote by Lao Tzu, ” A Thousand Miles begins with a single step.”
You have to start looking around for the source. The source is within you, but when you look inside, you may not find anything, as there is much more exist, of the mind, heart, and body along with the source.
“Your body, heart and mind is over-filled. Empty your vessel, to realize the source.”
See what you bring closer to yourself, or connect you from within. It can be the sensation of your body, breathe, feelings & emotions or thoughts. You choose your own path. Connect with yourself in your own way. When you figure out your own path, you can further discover the path to move into the deeper reality of life.
The master of the outside world can show you the path, to connect with your inner world, but you have to cover the distance. The master has already walked upon the path and can show you the things to be avoided or the things that can assist you, according to your present conditions, but you have to walk alone on your path.
The truth is, when you move on to discover the source, you are never really alone. You always have the path to cover or the mystery to solve. The signs are available all the way. You have to have the eyes to see the signs on the path.
When you look inside, you come across the darkness. Many times you move into the outside world, you face the same darkness. This darkness should be cleared before you come to the light.
You have to befriend with this darkness. This darkness will only be your companion unless you come to the shore. The inner world is a tunnel with the darkness.The sun shines, once you cross the tunnel.
But the tunnel is just the metaphor, while the inner journey is the most exciting and thrilling journey you will ever have with your life. When you hold an intent to discover your truth within, all the people, situations and experiences of life serves you to bring you closer to your truth. When you connect with your inner world, you become more lively in the outside world.
Don’t run away from the pain and suffering of life. If you are looking for the highest wisdom and bliss for life, you also have to go through the little pain of life. On the path of truth, even pain and suffering serves you. It’s an internal process, and every human has to go through the process.
Imagine the mother going through the pain to deliver the baby, or the father working round the clock to fulfill the need of his family, or the soldier going through the pain to fight for his nation.
The pain on the path of the truth is the same. It’s the sweet pain, that you like to endure. But first of all, you have to learn to take the outside pain. Savor the pain, but don’t run away from it.
Make the most out of it. It’s needed to strengthen your body, mind, and heart. Your inner muscles need to be strengthened before you experience the highest bliss of life. You have to remove old wastage from life, and the pain and suffering are all about carving the sculpture.
“The pain and suffering polish you from within so that you can shine brighter in the outside world.”
The one who goes through more experiences of life shines brighter with his inner light. Embrace and accept all part of life. No way I suggest that it’s an easy path, but when you realize that you are, up for the highest game of life, i.e. to realize the truth, then you are ready to pay any price for it.
Connect with your inner world with anything from the sensation, to the breath, feelings & emotions or with the thoughts. Whatever seems convenient to you. Try to hold the inner state of mind for the whole day. You may disconnect with your inner world several times in a day. Try to bring yourself again and again to the same thing.
To connect with your inner world is the thing of the mind, so you don’t have to worry about your outside world. It works in the same way, as before. You keep on fulfilling your outside obligations of life and stay connected with your inner world.
Slowly with the time, the deeper you move inside, the more successfully, you accomplish the feat of the outside world.
All the obligations of the outside world can be placed in order and accomplished one by one if your inner world is in order. When your inner world doesn’t flow in an order, the outside world seems like a mess.
In reality, the mess is within your inner world. When you connect with your inner world, you put the mind, heart, and body in order. When your attention is only outside, sometimes you act out of your sensation, and sometimes of emotions, and sometimes even the images of the mind compel you to take action.
When you connect with your inner world, you figure out the needs of your outside world, and put the things in motion from inside, so that you accomplish the things in the outside world, and simultaneously move deeper to realize the source of life.
The life starts with the body and the breath, which doesn’t need any physical proof of it. Moving inside, you come across the sensation. This sensation can only be felt by you. Moving deeper, you come across the feelings and emotions that again can be felt the person itself.
You move deeper, you come across the activities of the mind, i.e. to think and imagine things. When you live with your attention outside, you don’t know how all these things take place inside of you.
You can know this for yourself when you connect inside. Once you can understand your body, breath, sensation, feelings, or the thought patterns, you come closer to the source.
The more you move deeper inside of yourself, the more you connect with the source.The source exists within you.
To connect with the source, you have to connect with your inner world and to connect with the inner world, you can choose to move in through physical exercise, breathing techniques or observing your inner world in meditation, or you can also opt for your own way to connect with your inner-self.
The source is the point of dot within, from which the mind, heart, and sensation expand within you.
The spirit is attached to the physical body. When you are not in control of your sensation, the mind and heart control your life.The mind forms impressions all the time, from the outside situations, from the past experiences of life, or by imagining the future.
These impressions allow the flow of thoughts, feelings, and energy, which through sensation pass onto the body, and the action comes out of it. The process is so quick inside of you, that you need daily practice to recognize this inner movement and to be one with it.
“When you accumulate too many impressions about an event or situation, you put the energy in force to make it a part of your life.”
If you don’t have control over your sensation, you act unconsciously out of the impressions of your mind. When you are unconscious about what’s going on inside, then the (cause and effect ) moves in a circle inside of you.
You only move in a circle. Your circle expands, and so you feel the growth with your life. But it’s again the circle of the mind, i.e. (cause & effect) that expands within you.
The source can be realized when your intent is to move out of the circle of (cause & effect). The process of growth and evolution serves you to realize the source, but if you set a clear intent to your life for the freedom, all the impressions, feelings, energy, efforts, and experiences of your life, serve you to move in that direction.
With the attention and intention in a specified direction, you take control of your life. Then no event of your life happens without your notice. You develop the power to change the situation and experiences of life and serve others to develop a right intent with their life, out of understanding.
The purpose of life is served, when your path and purpose of life becomes one, and this can happen two ways.
If you believe in this moment, that your path will certainly take you to the truth of life, then your path and purpose become one in this moment itself, or you realize your true source within yourself and then walk down to the source. Then your concerned remains to be with the source, as all the path and purpose of life, is served with the source.
When you become one with the source, all your energy is directed towards the higher source, which is the source of everything.You have the source, and there is also the source of this earth, sun, moon, and all the souls on this earth be it humans, plants, animals, mountains and everything that exists on earth.
By connecting with your source, you connect with the higher source, which is the source of all. Here you experience one life, that flows through each and everything that exists on earth, and you too become one with all.
The master is the one, that shows you the way. When you are confused on the path, the master shows you the next step to move forward. When the master is outside, he can only serve you out of his experiences of life.
When it comes to life, every person’s experience is bound to be different from other. It’s not necessary that others experience will certainly serve you on your path. Each individual’s path is designed according to his or her nature.
You have to understand your own nature and look for the experiences that take you forward with life. It’s your own experiences on your path of life is the real masters that take you forward with life. You see the next step out of personal experience. (more…)
