Glories of 'Knowledge'

Image
Knowledge is not heritable. It is not an asset, thus cannot be possessed. It is not available in books which can simply be acquired through mere reading. We must understand the nature of 'knowledge' first. Knowledge is the source of existence. The very idea of distinguishing one from other that streams from our thoughts is the result of enough churning of knowledge. It is the possibility to grasp reality, an aid for us humans to get a glimpse of the ultimate truth. It is the repository of truth and hence is beyond conception. This is not mere glorification of 'knowledge', but just a mere introduction of it. When man is an infant he cannot understand the difference between fire and water, until experienced or taught. The memory of an experience, retained to understand or delve into the subject is the dawn of knowledge. Only knowledge makes possible to retain the useful and let go the unwanted clutter of the mind. It is the benefactor of a composed mind and leads ...

Wild siblings

Image
Why should one be ever tensed of the future, something which is yet to happen? Pretension indicates high expectations from the unseen reality. Expectations arise from deep rooted attachment, attachment to the perishable to a high extent to oneself.. The feeling of possession brings about a surge of vices to overpower one. The intellect is no longer functional. Predicting the future is very much connected to Pride. This is because it relates to oneself. Thoughts like : 'My future', 'My luck', 'I will get...', etc are nothing but the result of great attachment to oneself. This is pride. It lays the foundation for the tree of pride to sprout. Anticipating is a distorted outcome of attachment/pride. It drowns man in the ocean of selfishness as one is obsessed by his expectations and future! His basis of expectation itself will bring downfall to him. Because he depends on the unseen and unreliable time! Thus, the two siblings Pretension and Pride pave way t...

Mind has no defect.

Image
Everybody, is inflicted by the mind. But the intensity is different. When the disease of the mind manifests in the physical plane it is attributed as a mental disorder. This is perceptible only because it effects the other individuals. In the subconscious plane however, there is a similar turmoil, perhaps even more intense. There is constant war between the mind and soul. Everybody has a distorted mind which disturbs every one. But, as this phenomena is not expressed in the external plane we consider the chattering and turmoil within our mind to be normal. Just because everyone is sick we cannot claim that to be normal. But, this is the fact. Today, everybody is unconsciously living the disease of the mind and there lies the problem, it is considered to be natural! There is thus, no defect in the mind as it is the defect itself. How can we probably say that defect is the defect. It is just like finding the defect in cancer while in reality it itself is the defect.

What is liberation?

Image
Liberation literally means freedom. Freedom from the mind is true freedom. Liberation is the attainment of this state. The mind brings about differentiation, like: you and me, yours and mine, etc. But, there is no difference. The highly scientific spiritual process sheds light on this topic. In reality we aren't this body, we are a cluster of cells. But this is not the ultimate reality. It breaks down to molecules, atoms and so on. Ultimately the modern science has left us while they continue with their experiments. But, spirituality has always had answers for such questions as it is the creator of all sciences and is superior to them. Stating that: we are all made from one energy . Just like water is the same irrespective of the container its poured into. Similarly we all are emanations from the same energy. Now, just like scientists do experiments and work to reveal the reality, similarly liberated beings are the scientists who have already  revealed the truth of existen...

Are you really respected?

Image
Although respect and esteem may seem synonymous a thin line separates one from the other. It is the line of reality. Everything that can be perceived within the range of our senses is thought to be real. For many IT  IS REAL. Respect is a worldly term, which has complete relevance in this illusive world, but esteem is rooted in the self, or pure conscience. We can demand respect but not esteem. Esteem comes from within, from the soul. Respect is temporary and changes with people and time. Some people may give you respect today but it may not be relevant tomorrow. On the other hand, esteem is not dependent on the external world at all. It is our own nature. Seeking respect symbolizes foolishness because our conception of respect is false. Remember, nobody respects the other, it is selfishness that disguises as respect. A simple example: A manager respects his boss but when the post are interchanged, the latter respects the former. This is because it was not respect but sheer se...

World is alien to me.

Image
The term secular diversity relates to a world of freedom. It points out freedom from all bindings of religion, cast, etc. This is extremely beneficial for a developing world, but is it really followed by people today? This is a hard question indeed. Is there true equality in this world? Have you ever been equal to all and allowed freedom of action, speech and thought to the other? Have you internally accepted the principle you propagate? If not, leave following it but also forget about preaching it to others. The question is simple: "Have you accepted what you preach from your heart and soul or are you doing it dogmatically, for society?" You can decide the answer for yourself if you belong to such a society. If not, never ever fall prey to this preaching. In this very illusory world,there are many more illusive plans laid by people. All these concepts of freedom, equality, etc starts in this illusory world and just entangle further in the traps devised by the mind. T...
