अस्वार्थिन्स्व - Selflessness, dissolving the self

अस्वार्थिन्स्व   Asvārthin

                             - Selflessness, dissolving the self

When you are born on this earth, since you are the new arrival, you are the most precious, important, and all the focus will be on you and you become the center of attraction.  You get all the attention in the world because you are innocent and know nothing.  You are at zero and beginning the journey of life.  Since you are treated like a king, you start growing expectations.  As you grow up in your life bodily your ego starts growing inside of you as your expectations grow and your desires grow over a period of time.  You become self centered over a period of time.  You are taught to and made to grow self centered all throughout your life. 

You are asked to focus your concertation entirely on yourselves on your academics, career and your future. You are taught as if life is a race or competition, where you are a participant, and winning is the only important aspect in life and that is what matters.  You have been programmed in such a way that, if you want to be alive you have to win.  Life is a race where in, in the end you will be declared as winner or loser, that is it.  Winners are accepted and losers or failures are not accepted.

Life is a not a race even though you belong to a particular race, so there is no question of winning or losing.  Life is not a game of profit or loss to win or lose.  Life is precious and precious things are unique. Life is a process which needs to be realized and understood thoroughly.  Life is beyond your self.  Unless you are selfless you will not understand life at all in your lifetime.  Unless you dissolve your self you will not understand the whole concept of life and living.  

The journey outside in the external world of us always appears to be chaotic, competitive, and do or die situation all the time. The real journey of life starts from within yourselves, where you are the lone traveler without any competitors to compete with.  It is a solo journey with occasional companions.  It is a journey of knowing about your true self and dissolving your self and become selfless and become ready to know the whole aspect of life and living.  You let go of your self to such an extent that you become self less in the process.  You are no more you or I, you become neither of the two.

Once you realize what life is all about after having undertaken the internal journey you live life little bit for yourselves and everything for others around you.

स्मै स्वल्पं समाजाय सर्वस्वं। svasmai svalpaṃ samājāya sarvasvaṃ

                                            A little bit for yourself and everything for others!

Upon realization you will come to know of the fact that life is interdependent and interconnected, and you will concentrate on the other more than yourself by becoming selfless.  Only when you become selfless there arises a possibility of knowing the unknown and you work towards others with a motto of 

                                Sarve Jana Sukhino Bhavantu - may all people be happy

Spirituality is a path to realize your true self and become selfless in the process.  It will enlighten you on each and every aspect of life and living and transform you into an Enlightened Being.

Celebrate Life by embracing Spirituality and know your true self

Jivamukti and Paramukti - liberated while living and liberated from living

Jivamukti and Paramukti 

                                - liberated while living and liberated from living

There are basically two types of mukti, Jivamukti and Paramukti. 

Jivamukti literally means liberated while living.  A person who has gained self knowledge and realized his self and has attained moksha or liberation from samsara and transformed into an enlightened being is thus liberated from living not yet died.  He has attained liberation while living. Liberation from death and rebirth while living is Jivamukti state.  

Paramukti is also called as final liberation is referred to death of a person who has attained Jivamukti or Kaivalya or Enlightenment during his lifetime.

The term liberation means attaining freedom.  Most people do not know that there is a kind of liberation where in you are liberated while living.  Liberated while living means you have achieved liberation or freedom from death and rebirth in this present life itself.  They are individuals who have realized and understood their true self of their inner soul.  They had taken the inner and intrinsic journey inside of themselves to know who they really are.  They have reached the core of their inner being to know themselves in the process of self realization.  

Once you realize and come to know you are not what you thought what you are and you are in fact what you are in the truest form that you are a part of the whole which is universal.  You realized that you are an individual soul and a part of the universal soul in existence.  Once you have realized that you are an individual soul being apart from the whole, your whole approach and intention will be to merge with the universal soul which you are a part of.

Spirituality is a inward journey to understand the core of our being.  It is a path you will take when you question about your very existence of who you really are.  It is a journey to realize and understand our true identity and of our true self.  It is a path of self realization.  It is path wherein you attain liberation while living, the Jivamukti state.

Embrace Spirituality to realize and understand your true self 

and celebrate your existence

When You Accept Yourself, the whole world accepts you

“When you accept yourself, the whole world accepts you.” - Lao Tzu

The real journey of life starts from within us.  We have the whole world inside of us.  What is inside is the same as outside, in larger proportions, that is it.  Going inside of ourselves is the best way to understand the outside world.  

Unless you know who you are, you will not accept yourselves and nobody accepts you.  Even though you are born in the outside world, you need to go deep inside of yourselves to know who you really are once all yours sensory organs are working and attains its full capacity.  When you know who you are you accept yourself and the whole world will accept you,  

Life is a realization of what is already there in existence.  Life is not an achievement.  What will you achieve when it is already existing.  You will achieve what is not there.  There is nothing to be achieved in life, the whole focus of yours should be to realize what is already there.  First know what is already there then the question of what is not there will arise.  We have been delivered on this earth with all the necessary things for our survival.  It is for you to realize now and understand that we have just joined a party that was already in progression since eternity.  You have just joined a party which is celebrating their existence and now you need to celebrate you existence by being a part of celebration.

Spirituality is a internal and intrinsic journey which helps you to understand your inner most being, your true self.  Once you realize and understand of your true self then it is easier to understand the whole external world.  Outside is same as inside of us but in macro level.  Spirituality will enlighten you about each and every aspect of life and living starting from you first.  The journey of spirituality starts from within and ends outside of our being.

Aatmanirbhar - self reliance and self contained

आत्मनिर्भर 

Aatmanirbhar - self reliance and self contained

We are completely formed beings and we do not lack anything.  We have all the necessary body parts we are born with, it just have to start functioning optimally over a period of time.  Once all the body parts starts functioning according to its set program then you are a self contained or Aatmanirbhar individual who is self reliant, self sufficient in all aspect to sustain on this earth by merging with the environment.  All the requirements for the life to sustain is already present in the environment we are born in.  In fact, we are delivered into a setting where the environment was already existing which is conducive for our survival.  

We have everything within us, it is a matter of realization.  You just have to realize what is already there all the time within us which you were not aware of till you came to know about it.  Every creation of nature is Atmanirbar or self contained in all aspect.  It has a built in program which it needs to follow and implement.  Every product of nature comes with thorough instructions and a well defined route for it to follow.  You just need to be what you are then life will not be an effort based journey.  You just go with the flow of the river of nature effortlessly and join the sea to become the sea itself.  

The journey of life is well defined.  Understanding self, the inbuilt program within us, and adhere to the program and get along with life.  It is just a matter of time for you to realize who you are and what your role is in this whole setting of nature.  It is a waiting thing to happen.  For some it is possible in this life itself and for others in the next life, but ultimately in one life or other, realization happens, it is just a matter of time.

Knowing your self will lead to Atmanirbharta.  Unless your are self confident you cannot take the next step in your life.  First, try trusting nature, allow things to evolve according to nature, become the witness to the happenings inside of oneself and around you and observe and absorb every moment of the event taking place and slowly and steadily try to align with the going ons and fall into the rhythm of nature then enjoy fun of life and living.

Spirituality helps you to realize your inherent and untapped potential which was lying dormant all this time.  It will help you to build your character and adopt behaviors that will take you to the pinnacle of existence by transforming you into an Enlightened Being.  We are already born with a wick, it just needs to be lighted and it is a matter of time for it to happen.

Get Enlightened and Celebrate your existence    

Vidya Dhanam Sarva Dhanath Pradhanam - Knowledge is the supreme wealth

विद्याधनं सर्वधनप्रधानम्

Vidya Dhanam Sarva Dhanath Pradhanam 

                                           - Knowledge is the supreme wealth

Learning is a continuous process as long as we exists on this earth.  One can learn anything at any age.  There is no age limit for acquiring knowledge, any person of any age can learn.  When we apply the knowledge that we have acquired and share it with others, it improves and increases also.  Knowledge is the only wealth which increases as we spend and share among others.  Knowledge becomes knowing when you apply it practically in your day-to-day life situations.  When you apply knowledge in your day to day situations it will become your experience.

Vidya Dhanam Sarva Dhanath Pradhanam means knowledge is the supreme wealth.

Knowledge is the best and important wealth among all wealth's. Knowledge gives you humility. Humility gives you character. It is the character and the behavior you adopt to mold yourself will make you an upright and righteous being.  Being righteous will make you feel well and it will give you immense sense of satisfaction in your being.

Our one lifetime is not enough to learn, there is immense knowledge present in the outside world for us to know about it.  You can evolve only out of realization and understanding about the true aspect of life and living.  The unknown is always more than the known.  We hardly come to know a fraction of knowledge in our whole lifetime.  We can only get a glimpse of what is to be known from the unknown.  Nobody can say for the fact that he knows everything, it is an impossible statement to make.  A wise person never says he knows everything, rather he will say he is ready to know everything and he is always in receptive state throughout his lifetime.

Spirituality is a path which will take you on a journey inside of oneself.  If you want to know the outside world, first you need to know your own self of who you are.  The journey of spirituality starts from within and then ends outside of us.  It is a journey to know inside-out of every aspect of life and living.  It is a journey to acquire knowledge about our own self and the outside world where we are born in.  We are made up of elements which are also present outside of us in the world we are existing.  What is there inside is also there outside of us.  The inside is same as the outside, it is just a reflection of each other.

Spirituality helps us to know inside of our being and once we have a grasp of it, it is easier for us to know the vast outside world which sustains our life.

Embrace Spirituality to acquire knowledge about self and the world we are born in and lead a contended life throughout our lifetime.

Annadata Sukhi Bhava - may the provider of food be happy

अन्नदाता सुखी भव 

Annadata Sukhi Bhava 

                                                    - may the provider of food be happy

This mantra 'Annadata Sukhi Bhava' has to be and should be uttered before and after partaking food daily in our life.  Food enhances our life to move forward to go to the next day.  We become what we eat and consuming the healthy food will always help in maintaining our body and mind in a healthy setting.  Health is wealth and no other wealth is greater than health.  All the money in the world will not bring back your health.  Money and health is not related.  If you are healthy you can posses all the wealth in life.  Being wealthy and having all the money in the world, will not get back your health.  The more you pursue and chase behind acquiring wealth the more you might neglect your health in the process.  Being healthy is much wiser to being wealthy in life.  

The first and foremost priority in life is the kind of food we eat which will sustain our life to exist till our lifetime healthily.  Food not only gives us energy and nourishes our life and food also acts as a medicine which corrects most of the illness within us.

We should always be grateful to people who grow our food, cook food, and provide it the hungry souls throughout their lives.   We should be concentrating on the kind of food we partake in our daily life and each individual should understand each and every aspect of food they eat and they should consume the kind of foods which they can digest it easily and excrete it within 24 hours of their intake without residuals remaining in our body.  You will be healthy as long as you digest your food completely.  It is the undigested or indigestible food which makes you sick with illness.  Good food leads to good health. A provider of food is not only satisfying your hunger he is also enhancing your life to sustain and go to the next day.  Food is the fuel we need to keep our body running with energy without a break in our lifetime.

Anything in moderation is conducive to overall health.  Anything in excess or lack of will lead to imbalance in health.  Being healthy reflects you are a balanced individual.  You need to eat the kind of food which gives you positive energy and makes your life positive throughout your life.  If you are healthy and fit, you can undertake any kind of work with ease without getting fatigued easily.  It is the kind of energy you possess within yourself which will help you sustain yourself longer in any kind of situations in life.  Food is directly related to the energy produced within yourselves.  

The food we eat will help in keeping the agni, the digestive fire, burning inside our stomach optimally without getting it extinguished.  According to the science of life, a person with healthy agni, is gifted with health and longevity.  A regulated agni enables to optimize the functions of the body and it helps feel strong, improves the immune system and overall health and energy levels.

According to Ayurveda 'roga sarve api mandagni' means all disorders are caused by imbalance of agni, the digestive fire.  We have often heard from our elders that you should have digestion in such a way that you should be able to digest the stone also.  It does not mean you eat stone but it means your digestion should be strong enough to digest anything you consume.

Spirituality is a path which helps you to know your true self and have balanced life.  Unless your body and mind is balanced you will not feel contended in life.  Spirituality will guide you to become a balanced individual in all aspect.  It is a journey inside of your own self.  Unless you know who you are you will not get self confidence to face life and understand every aspect of life and living thoroughly.

Respect food, become health conscious and celebrate your existence

Satyameva Jayate - truth alone triumphs

सत्यमेव जयते 

Satyameva Jayate - truth alone triumphs

Since the beginning of our life we have been taught to say the truth and nothing but the truth.  But as we grew up when we stepped outside of our house and started mingling with the crowd we realized that people are so immersed in their hypothetical life that they are not ready to listen to the truth let alone speak of it.  We have been hearing the phrase a number of times that 'Honesty is best policy', but we find it very difficult to implement this policy everywhere in our day to day life and with everybody and in every situations.  Every person is living in his dream world by day dreaming.  They do not like to be conscious in their day to day life and obviously things tend to go wrong when you are not in the present.  Being in the present is being truthful in life.

Satyameva Jayate meaning "Truth alone triumphs"  is a mantra from the ancient Indian scripture Mundaka Upanishad. We are born in the land of Bharat with innumerable ancient scriptures like Upanishads, Vedas, and Puranas which gives great insight into life and living as it lays down a specified path which when followed will lead to our overall spiritual growth and will help to live a contended life.  In spite of all this, we find our modern society to be in a state of chaos and fragmentation, as a result of our collective disconnection from the deeper aspects of our psyches and the larger collective unconsciousness that governs our behavior in our society.

Over a period of time as we have continued to live on this earth we got somehow disconnected from our true nature of being natural and feel discontent about life and living.  We should realize that we have deviated from truth and modified our behavior and character to such an extent which is not suitable and not aligning with our natural environment as it was when we arrived on this earth by being born here  It appears as if we have taken a pledge to change the natural setting we inherited upon our arrival on this very earth.  We have become the cause for our own destruction.  We are not only destroying nature but also making sure that nothing survives on this planet.

Truth represents healthiness and falsehood represents sickness. Leading a life with false narratives leads to sickness as a consequence.

Being truthful leads to healthy state of body and mind.  Falsehood leads to deterioration in the quality of our life and being.  Being truthful means being life positive.  Truth remains for ever where as falsehood is a temporary phase till it is exposed and truth supersedes all falseness. Leading a truthful life is the most difficult thing in this current world full of false narratives. It is the negative things which tries to dominate and establish in a more aggressive way even though it does not have substance to sustain for too long a period of time.

To lead and live a truthful life we need a lot of grit and determination since there will be a lot of opposition from all quarters in this false and negative narrative of environment we have to encounter day in and day out in our life. Ultimately Truth wins in all kinds of situations. Truth has the capacity to dissolve the falsehood of any proportions.

If you want to be truthful you should be prepared to face the consequences, Truth and Consequences. Truth comes with resulting consequences.  Truth is the bitter pill you have swallow to lead a sweet life as a consequences of it. Being truthful is the integral part behind character building of a human being.  Truth results in tremendous consequences of unimaginable magnitude. Truth is the ultimate power which helps shaping our integral character to elevate our being to an enlightened state.

Spirituality will help you to discover yourself and be your true self.  Being truthful will lead to Enlightenment.  Light is the reflection of truthfulness, darkness is the reflection of falseness.  You cannot believe which cannot be seen in darkness unless there is a light shown to dispel the darkness and reveal the true state of affairs.

Satyameva Jayate - truth alone triumphs in the long run.  Only truth can prevail and where there is truth there can be no element of falseness.

Be Truthful and Celebrate Life

Aatmagnyanam Vidya Hai - self-knowledge is true wisdom

आत्मज्ञान विद्या है

Aatmagnyanam Vidya Hai 

                                                        - self-knowledge is true wisdom

Discovering about self is the first step towards understanding life and living.  Unless you know about your true self you cannot know anything else in life or about life.  The real journey of life starts inwards within yourself to know your true being.  You need to question your fundamental existence to understand the whole concept of life and living.  It is always inside-out not outside in, in Spirituality.  Once you realize who you really are then every aspect of life is revealed to you as you are now receptive to know all the intricacies of life one by one.  Unless you empty out your being completely you will not be able to receive the revelations - knowing the unknown. 

Aatmagnyanam Vidya Hai means self knowledge is true wisdom.  Knowing others is intelligence, knowing yourself is true wisdom.  Knowledge of ourselves or know thyself is the path to become a wiser being.  

                                                            Mastering others is strength

                                                            Mastering yourself is true power

                                                                                                    -Lao Tzu 

                                                                                                                            Chinese philosopher and writer

Knowledge is gathering information about everything and storing it in your brain.  Knowing means experiencing physically about every aspect of living which becomes part of your whole being.  Your whole being knows what it is rather than just the brain.  Only an experienced person can become a wise being.  Wiseness comes out of experiencing life.

Spirituality enables you to realize and understand about your true self and helps in transforming you into an Enlightened Being by giving you insight into every aspect of life and living.  It throws light on each and every aspect of life whereby you become wiser and start living life consciously.  A wise person always lives in the present, here now.  A wise person is not a person who knows everything, in fact he is a person who has become receptive and ready to know everything as the day unfolds day-by-day throughout his lifetime. A wise person is open to everything.  Every experience enriches his life.

The journey to understand life starts from inside of your being.  Once you know inside of who you are then it is easier to know the outside world.  Outside world is a reflection of your inside world. The journey starts from within and ends outside of your self.

Undertake the journey of life by knowing yourself first.

Jnanodaya - dawning of knowledge - Enlightenment

Jnanodaya 

            - dawning of knowledge 

                                               - Enlightenment

In life, we need to cultivate good things which mold our character and behavior which is suitable to our Swabhava, our nature.  Understanding your inherent nature is very very important for every one of us because it is based on which you can build your character and adopt a behavior that aligns with your inner being.   One needs to harness the power of our inner being living inside of oneself.  The inner being operates as a integral component of our soul.  One's objective in life should be to recognize and align with their true nature which is deep inside in everyone of us.

Jnanodaya means dawning of knowledge or getting enlightened about all the facts of life.  Like you have sunrise which dispels darkness by giving light in the morning, Jnanodaya makes you come out of your innocence and ignorance by dawning of knowledge and getting enlightenment about each and every aspect of life and living.  It is making your inner being to be in a state of awareness by being in the present all the time.  Unless you come to know of all the facts pertaining to life and living you will not be self confident about your own self.  Only a person with self confidence will have the ability to negotiate the intricacies of life easily and effortlessly.

We need to arise out of our deep slumber to encounter life point blank with full of positive energy and vigor with full enthusiasm. Life will become beautiful only when you approach it with full confidence in your own self and develop the capacity to accept nature as it evolves without any element of expectation in life.

The mantra for life is 'expect the unexpected'.  If you are ready to accept the unexpected you are ready for anything.  If you can accept the unexpected then your journey of life will be one of wonder and excitement as you are mentally and physical ready for anything in life.  Your journey of life will be a glorious one without any element of regret or disappointments.

Unless there is a dawn inside of your being by getting Jnanodaya  your journey of life will be full of misery, regret, and despair due to lack of understanding of life and its intricacies.

Spirituality ensures that there is a dawn in your being and it will not only help you to discover your own self but also enlightens you about each and every aspect of life and living by transforming you into an Enlightened Being.

धर्मो रक्षति रक्षितः Dharmo Rakshati Rakshitah - dharma protects those who protect it

धर्मो रक्षति रक्षितः 

Dharmo Rakshati Rakshitah 

                       - dharma protects those who protect it

Dharma means universal laws of nature which are applicable to everyone.  Dharma is a concept of duty and social order that sustains the whole universe.  It is a cosmic law underlying right behavior and social order.

Dharmo Rakshati Rakshitah arthat (means) dharma protects those who protect it.

We all are product of nature and we need to follow the universal laws of nature, Dharma, which are applicable to each and every creations of nature.  Anything which comes into existence in this planet, in this ecological setting need to understand the underlying fact of the rules and regulations pertaining to this ecology to sustain and thrive on this planet. It is only out of realization and understanding you come to acknowledge the universal laws of nature and start adhering to it by accepting it out of your free will.  You not only follow the cosmic law but also protect it as well throughout your existence on this planet Earth.

We come into this world innocently and with ignorance because we are newly introduced into a already existing and established setting prevailing from time immemorably or eternally.  We are a new entrant entering into this environment. First of all you should remember the fact that we have been introduced intentionally into this type of setting because it knows well that we fall into this category who can survive, thrive, adapt and continue its existence in this type of environment which is most suitable for their sustenance. You are already born in an ideal setting which is life conducive.  You need not worry about where you are because you are in the right place and time which you just need to acknowledge, that is it.  You just have to accept the reality and live within it.

Now comes the main factor of who you are, what are you, what is your real identity, and the purpose of you being born on this particular place and time, which you need to unravel on your own.

Spirituality is a marga or path which will lead you into the direction of discovering your true self.  You can know about your self only through questioning about your fundamental existence on this planet.  Unless you question yourselves you will never get answers to your questions. All questions comes with an answers.  Because there is answers, you get questions pertaining to it.  There is no question without an answer.  

The day you stop getting questions in your being you become the answer to all the questions.  The day all your questions are answered you reach the point of Sunyatha or zeroness or emptyness or nothingness or voidness. You have emptied out all your questions.  A Guru is an entity with no questions or answers.  He/she has reached a stage where he is answerable to everybody about his existence.

आनंदः अस्ति स्वीकृतिः Anandah Asti Sveekritih - happiness is acceptance

आनंदः अस्ति स्वीकृतिः 

Anandah Asti Sveekritih - happiness is acceptance

The whole concept of living on this earth is based on what makes you happy.  We have come here without our will or wish.  We have realized that we are alive and kicking and now we need to find out who we are and where we are and what is our purpose if at all there is one, and the foremost thing where we fit in, in this puzzle of nature.  Do we have any specified role to play out to contribute to the environment we are born in or it takes care of all its creations on its own without any interference from any of its creations and we are just a witness to the all the happenings inside and outside of our being.  Do we have a choice if at all there is one.

Anandah Asti Sveekritih means happiness is there in acceptance.  If you accept yourselves of your being thoroughly you will be happy throughout your existence on this earth.  Happiness is not an outside factor, it is an inside factor.  Happiness is subject oriented and not object oriented.  Happiness is a feeling deep inside of your being.  Happiness is a sensation which emits from each and every cell of yours.  It is a collective feeling of your whole being.  You are a subject not an object so once you realize what you are, who you are, you cannot feel anything else other than being happy with yourselves.  Accepting yourselves will make you the happiest person on this earth.

Out of realization, you will start accepting your being here on this earth first and later on it will make you accept the environment you are born in.  There is no chance or option for you to accept or reject.  Life is not an option game.  You are born as a player in this game of life which is already ongoing since time immemorial and you just need to play your part if at all any on your part and just exist till you are dismissed from this game of life. The decision lies with the creator, you are just the created, you just need to play your part as a new player and become a part of the game in progression, that is it.  Everything is taken care of before your arrival, you just need to accept your being and play your part and even that you are not able to do due lack of realization and understanding on your part.  You are the only odd one out in this whole game of life. 

Realize, accept, understand, and perform your part as a player of the game according to the game plan set by the organizer, the creator, the nature, the Prakriti.  The game is on, play your part well and become a part of the game of life by accepting yourselves and accepting all else and do not become the odd one out.  Be even with your self and with life and enjoy the show all the way.

Spirituality helps you in realizing your true self and the potential within your self and makes you accept your self and live life happily as long you exist on this planet Earth.

Aatmavat Sarvabhuteshu - treat others as you would treat yourself

Aatmavat Sarvabhuteshu 

                                       -  treat others as you would treat yourself

Life is a reflection of our own self.  If you are good you can see the good aspect in everything and everywhere.  It is like standing in front of mirror and looking at your image, you cannot see other than your own self.  We can see our reflection but we cannot see our self in reality.  We can feel what we are and others can describe how we are and how we look.  It is only through others eyes we can be described.  We can describe others and others can describe us.  We need the other as much as the other needs us.  It is like we are 50% and the other is 50% and you become 100% with the combination of both or the other.  The other is as important as yourselves.  Without the other half you remain incomplete.  Your completeness depends on the other half which is outside of yourselves. 

Aatmavat Sarvabhuteshu means treat others as you treat yourself.  If you considers yourselves as human being, you need to know how to treat all other living beings properly with utmost respect and due regard for the feeling of others.  Your happiness lies in others happiness.  Unless you strive for others happiness you cannot get the feeling of satisfaction in life.  You cannot hurt somebody and feel happy about it.  It is only when others are happy and satisfied we can be rest assured of overall happiness.  Sarve jana sukhino bhavantu - may all live happily.  It is a Sanskrit phrase that is often recited in Hindu prayer.  It is a prayer or wish for well being and happiness of all beings.  It is a mantra or a prayer for universal peace and happiness.

Male and Female, both are essential for propagation of life or continuation of life on this planet.  Life is always a combination effect.  It is only when things merge, you emerge into existence.  You are not alone and cannot be alone.  You are not one, you are a combination of millions of organisms which is giving out your final structure and appearance.  You are wholesome or completed thing of the construct of multicellular organisms.  

Whatever nature produces or creates and brings into existence will have to depend on the environment they are in to sustain themselves.  Coexistence is the Mantra.  Life is always interdependent and never will be and cannot be independent.  Life depends on life to exist, sustain, and to prolong ones life on this planet.  No product of nature is self sustaining, everything is made to be interdependent.  It is always the other which is more important than yourselves for your existence.  You have come into existence because of others, you have to sustain yourselves with the cooperation of others.  We need to develop the right attitude and respect to trust, believe, and cooperate with others for universal well being.

You are the other half of the full and you will become full when you find your other half.

Spirituality helps you to realize and become a complete human being.  It is a path to discover self.  Unless you know who you really are, you will never know the whole concept of life and living which is outside of yourselves.  The first step will take you to the last step of spiritual liberation.  The complexities of life and living can be understood only when you start questioning about your fundamental existence.  The spiritual journey starts from within and then ends outside of yourselves.

Become Spiritual to know yourselves inside-out fully and thoroughly

  

Antah Asti Prarambh - the end is the beginning

Antah Asti Prarambh - the end is the beginning

Evolution means evolving, changing, re-forming, and is a present continuous process in progression.  Evolution is an ongoing process, it cannot be defined as such, because by the time you define it or put it into a slot, it has already changed from its present state.  It has evolved out of it present state and it does not remain static.  Truth cannot be expressed, it can only be experienced.  

Evolution is always dynamic in nature.  Change is the essential characteristic of the evolutionary process.  Nothing remains constant.  Being stable is not in the purview of nature.  There seems to be no beginning or the end.  We are just an in-between part or phase in the ongoing evolutionary process.  

We have appeared and we have to realize the fact that the show was going on and we just joined it as a new entrant.  We need to grasp the current situation we are in and we have to come to terms with it.   We are just a witness to the ongoing process of nature, that is all.  We are not here to create something, we are the created, brought into existence by nature and it knows what it does.  Nature is always right.  We are just an innocent witness in existence.

Antah Asti Prarambh  means the end is the beginning.  It also gives out a greater meaning that there is no beginning or the end.  It is everlasting and there is no beginning or the end, since we cannot make out where we actually stand, so we assume that we are always in between in the whole evolutionary process.  Since natural process is cyclic in nature we cannot exactly pinpoint beginning or the end in its process. You can draw a circle or zero from any point you want but it ends at the same point you began with.  Things which start also ends at the same point.  Birth and death originates and culminates at zero point.  Zero to zero is the range or game plan.  

First we have to know who we are then where we are, how long we exist, and where are we going and are we going or coming, are we really are or it is a Mayajaal or illusion.  

Self enquiry will start by questioning your fundamental existence itself.  Unless you question your self you will never get answers to your questions.  Every question has an answer otherwise you will not get questions at all.  The answers for the questions lies within ourselves.

Spirituality is a science where in it leads you into the path of self enquiry, the inner awareness.  It helps you to explore the nature of self.  It helps you to discover your self and also gives you insight into every aspect of life and living.  It is a path to know your true self and it answers all your questions arising inside of yourself.  It will make you realize what life is all about through thorough understanding the concept of the whole thing.  It reveals the true aspect of nature and its processes.

Start questioning your self by becoming spiritual

Realize and celebrate your existence out of understanding

Samsara and Sampradhaya - perpetual creation and tradition

Samsara and Sampradhaya 

                    - perpetual creation and tradition

Existence has been existing since time immemorable.  The show is on eternally with no beginning or end.  We are always in between.  We are just a part like so many others which have come in and gone out of existence.  If you consider yourselves the main part you will consider every other apart from you as subordinate or they are there to serve you, you dominate everything and spoil the show of ongoing nature.  If out of realization you come to an understanding that you are just an insignificant part nothing compared to all other, apart from you, which have been in existence time immemorable then you feel humbled and will develop gratitude towards the whole existence.

We are part and parcel of the whole show called nature - The Prakrithi.  We are part of the Samsara wherein everything is being created or generated and brought into existence and then it gets degenerated, and again regenerated and the process goes on endlessly eternally.  Samsara means endless cycle of birth, death and rebirth.  In a sense, nothing is new here, everything is regenerated creations as such.  Everything comes in a new package in new shape, size and new form.  The physical identity keeps changing but the essence inside it remains the same, the spirit or the Atma - The Soul.

A tradition is something that is being practiced and passed on from generation to generation. Some things becomes a part of the tradition if it has some substance in it which enhances life and living.  A tradition should be life conducive.  Tradition is an inherited, established and a customary pattern of thought, action or behavior and passing of information from one generation to another with or without written instructions.  It is a cultural continuity of social attitudes and customs in that particular community.  

Any tradition should be measured by truth.  The issue is not should we have tradition, but rather are the traditions rooted in truth, that is more important.  Traditions can change, but truth never changes.  Truth remains as truth.  The characteristic of truth is it never changes.  So following a tradition with truthful element in it will help you to undertake  your journey of life is smooth and effortless manner and you will really enjoy life and the mysteries all along the way throughout your lifespan.  Follow a tradition which is based on Truth.

Spirituality can be called as a path of truthful traditional practice which has been embraced by all kinds of people to discover themselves and know the mysteries of life and living and realize and understand what life is all about.  Spirituality helps an individual to transform himself into a true human being by realizing his true potential and understanding his default program and align with the nature and live life effortlessly and gloriously with full of gratitude towards nature - The Prakrithi.

Celebrate life by realizing that you are a part and parcel of ongoing natural process in progression

Yatha Raja Tatha Praja - as is the king, so are the subjects

Yatha Raja Tatha Praja - as is the king, so are the subjects

The person who is in-charge of a place, state, country or kingdom is a very important person because his character, behavior, and principle is reflected in his subordinates, subjects, the people who are under him.  If you have a right person who is wise, his wiseness will get reflected in his decisions, work, and there will be positiveness in all the things he does and the outcome of all his decisions will go well with his people.  His decisions will have a positive impact on the people whom he is leading as a leader.  Unless you have a rich, experienced and wise leaders you cannot get any positive change in the society. 

Yatha Raja Tatha Praja means as is the king so are the subjects.  The subjects are reflection of the kings nature.  You can have a vibrant economy with a vibrant leader.  The leader should be selfless in attitude towards his people.  If you are selfless, you think less about your self and more about others.  You offer your service to others selflessly without looking for any personal gain of any sort.  A selfish person should never become or should never be made as a leader.  The leader should be dynamic in nature.  A static leader leads his state to stagnation with no growth.   The positive flow should start from the top and flow into the masses.

Praja seva should be the motto of any leader.  Welfare of the people should be the ultimate aim of any leader.  Either you become a raja or remain as a praja.  Either you become a leader or be under his leadership.  If you are selfless person and have the abilities to take a lead and do good for the welfare of the society, you should and need to take the mantle of leadership.  Only a responsible person can take up responsibility and own responsibility and have the capacity of responsive decision making - RDM.

Spirituality is a path which helps in molding your character in the right direction wherein you are good for yourselves and you are good for the society as a whole.  It is character you build and the behaviors you adopt and cultivate which reflects in your overall personality.  Spirituality is a holistic approach towards understanding self and in the process realizing and understanding the whole process of life and living as a whole.  Spirituality unravels the spirit behind and inside of everything. It will make you realize the essence which flows in every aspect of life and living.  

Spirituality enlightens you about the facts on each and every aspect of life and helps you to merge with the environment you are born in effortlessly and makes you a part of synchronous life which is in existence.

Celebrate your existence and celebrate life 

Prakruthi and Vikruthi - balance and imbalance

Prakruthi and Vikruthi - balance and imbalance

We are born out of Prakruthi or nature which has made us delivered through our own species and come to exist on this earth with an inbuilt program and a set timeframe in life.  We are the decided outcome or output of nature.  The Prakruthi does everything and we have absolutely no say regarding its doings.  We just have to realize and accept what we are and be according to the inbuilt program specified within us.  The decision making process of coming into existence, sustaining, and departing from the journey of life all lies with the Prakruthi - The Nature.  The only thing that we can modify or change is the way we want to live between both extreme ends of life, the birth and the death.  

If you realize that since we are product of nature and we need to live naturally aligning with the ongoing natural process and understanding our nature and nurturing it at all cost, your journey in life will be effortless one and a balanced one.  Only when you do not realize what you are and where you are and do not adopt to the environment you are born in and do not understand nature, then your life will be in imbalance state - Vikruthi state, since you are odd one out.  If you fall out of the system you are born in, you lose your balance and have a disoriented life full of misery and full of regret.   

Zero denotes balanced state.  Anything above or below zero is considered as imbalance state.  If something has be be equal it has to come to zero state.  Zero is a neutral number, neither this nor that.  Zero is the starting and ending point for everything.  Anything which starts with zero has to end with zero otherwise it is incomplete.  Zero represents completeness.  All numbers have loose ends except zero.  All numbers are incomplete numbers and zero is the only complete number.  Zero can be anything, something and nothing. Without zero no number has value.  Zero itself has no value.  Zero represents infinite possibility. Zero represents nothingness, but it is nothingness which makes a number into infinite number.  

Life moves from zero to zero.  The starting point and ending point are the same.  We have to end where we have come from and there is no other way.  Reaching the source is the game plan.  Every process of nature is cyclic in nature.  It starts at one point and ends at the same point.  Nothing is stable as such in nature, everything is in between and moving in perpetual motion. The churning in nature never stops.  Change is the essence of nature and any product of nature is changing all the time throughout its lifetime. Generation, degeneration and regeneration is the game plan of nature.

Spirituality is a path which will lead you to become a balanced individual.  A spiritual person never goes off balance because he is in zero point.  Spirituality is a system where in you start with self enquiry and reach the zero point.  Once you undertake the spiritual journey you start getting answers to all questions pertaining to life and living.  You start with question and end with no questions in spiritual journey. It starts from you and ends outside of you.  The journey of spirituality ends once you reach the zero point.  Now, no one can alter your conscious state or zero state.  No one can alter your balance.

Embrace Spirituality and celebrate your existence 

Yad Bhaavam Tad Bhavati - you become what you believe

Yad Bhaavam Tad Bhavati - you become what you believe

Everything depends on what you believe in.  Believing in your own self is the first step towards understanding everything about life and living.  You become what you believe.  Believe means accepting.  You have already come into existence and it is just a matter of believing or accepting the reality of the whole thing.

The first and foremost step you take in understanding the whole concept of life is to turn inwards within your self.  Try to question who you are, why you are here, and what is the purpose of all this.  Unless you know your true self and accept or believe of what you are and what you can become there is no possibility to understand the nature and the process of evolution. We have evolved out of a evolutionary process which is ongoing since time immemorable. 

You have to realize, understand, and accept the fact that you are part of the show called nature and you have come into existence in the form of human being and you have a default program which you need to accept and be so according to that.  Just being born as a human being is the first step, realizing and believing of what you already are and act accordingly will make you a 100% human being.  It is a question of believing in your own self that is very important in life. Just being born is not enough becoming one is what makes you a true human being.

Believing in ourselves means accepting yourself of what you are and be so and accept the reality as is.  We have come into existence without our wish and will and we need to understand the fact that we cannot be other than what we already are.  Being alive here is the reality of the matter.

Spirituality helps you to realize who you really are and accept your true being.  It gives you insight into every aspect of life and living starting with your own self.  It will make you believe in your self and become what you already are.  It will make you realize and accept what you truly are with full gratitude.  It will make you wiser in every aspect.  It will transform you into a true human being and it will help you to live life effortlessly out of realization and understanding.

Life is simple, we think and make it complicated due to lack of understanding and realization.  Only out of thorough realization you will understand the reality, accept and start believing it.  Unless you believe what you are, you cannot become what you are.  You are not living in a make believe world, you are in fact living in a realistic world full of mystery and wonderment all along your life.  Every day is a new beginning and the end in itself.  Nothing is similar and everything is unique and different in all aspects.     

Accepting and believing the reality as the day unfolds into your life is what you are supposed to be doing and that is it.  You are not the doer, you are the witness to all the happenings around you.  You just have to observe and absorb everything that is unfolded by nature everyday in your life throughout your lifetime.  You have to realize the fact that you are one of the created part in the whole ecosystem. 

Believe in yourselves and become what you already are.  You cannot be anything else other than what you already are. 

Transform yourselves by following the path of Spirituality and celebrate life

Sathyam Vada Dharmam Chara - truth and righteousness

Sathyam Vada Dharmam Chara - truth and righteousness

This Sanskrit verse "Sathyam Vada Dharmam Chara" from ancient Vedas means speak the truth follow the path of righteousness.  

Being truthful in ones life and following the path of Dharma should be the only objective or ideal for any sane individual who wants to have a pleasant and glorious journey of life on this beautiful planet Earth.  Only when you thoroughly realize and understand the true purpose of our being born here on this earth, will lead to satiety and contentment in life.  When you reach the stage in life where you need nothing more of anything and satisfied with what you have already gotten and within yourself, you are already on the path of transforming yourself into an Enlightened Being, it is just a matter of time.

The whole environment or nature has come into existence only through a thorough process over a considerable period of time.  Everything happens or comes into existence through a process involved in its formation.  Nothing comes out of the blue.  Just because you do not know and not able to know, it is not an unexpected thing or a surprise phenomenon.  There is no element of surprise in nature.  It was bound to happen and it happens and we are witness to all the happenings in our lifetime.

Being truthful in life is the most significant Swabhava we can cultivate not just for our own good but for the good of the whole community.  It all depends on what you cultivate and how you cultivate a particular trait to become a part of your blood and flesh of your body and yourselves.  Any good things needs to be and have to be cultivated to become a part of your character or behavior.  It all depends how you build up your character and the behavior you exhibit in every aspect of life that reflects in your personality.

Following the path of Dharma, the path of righteousness, and adherence to it and being truthful in every aspect of life will lead one to the status of Absolute Brahman.  One becomes Brahmin by being truthful and by acting righteously. 

What is right is always right and what is wrong is always wrong in all conditions.  Truth and Dharma when fully understood, practiced and followed, constitute the essence of mans character.  There is nothing higher than truth, everything is upheld by truth.  Truth is the foundation of all virtues.

Being truthful and being righteous will transform you into an Enlightened Being.

Spirituality is a path or the way to understand oneself first and understand the whole concept of life and living as a whole.  Becoming spiritual will transform your being to live life in a superconscious state. 

Transform your being by becoming Spiritual, the essence of everything

Paramanandha - superlative joy

Paramanandha - superlative joy or supreme bliss

Every human being born on this earth likes to feel good and be good throughout his life.  Being in the joyous state is everybody's intention and desire also.  Ananda, the joyous feeling one experiences which makes them forget about everything else by being in the present.  Of all the human feelings being in the joyous state is the only feeling which will make you come to the present state in your life.  Only when there is a communion of body and mind you enjoy your life by being in the joyous state.  When you are connected internally sharing or exchanging your thoughts and feelings you will be in a joyous state in your life.

Happiness is a positive and pleasant emotional feeling of intense joy.  It is a state of emotional well being that a person experiences when he has a fulfillment in his life. It is a feeling of being satisfied and enjoying life.  

You will be in the state of Paramanandha when you are overflowing with happiness feeling or experience supreme bliss.

Usually people will feel happy when they have achieved some thing, reached their target goals in life, but it is more of a object related feeling.  If you possess something you tend to feel happy.  Happiness is object driven feeling one gets when he desires for something and he achieves it.  Happiness is more of a object oriented feeling one gets in materialistic life.  It is a state of achieving somethingness related feeling.  

Blissfulness is a feeling which is more superior or far different than happiness.  It is a subjective feeling one experiences when he has reached contentment in life or Santripti or ultimate satisfaction or has reached saturation point in ones life.  Being blissful is a permanent feeling one gets when he feels satiation or completely satisfied with no more urge for anything.  Being blissful is a state of zeroness or nothingness.  It is not a feeling one tends to get usually when you achieve something rather it is a permanent feeling  one gets when there is nothing else or left to achieve. When you empty out all of your desires you reach blissful state in life.  Blissfulness is equal to Godliness. 

Spirituality helps you reach the blissful state in your life by discovering self and understanding the intricacies of life and living.  It gives insight and enlighten you about every aspect of life.  It transforms you to become an Enlightened being and reach the Paramanandha state in ones life.

Celebrate life by celebrating your existence

Antaryaami - the one who controls from within

Antaryaami - the one who controls from within

Who are we referring to when we say Antaryaami, the one who controls from within, not your self but the power or the force that is playing within you.  The powerplay in everything.  We think we do everything in our life as if we control everything since all the body parts belongs to you, no absolutely not.  We are the created.  We are created by nature and we are under the influence of nature.  Nature creates everything.  It brings everything into existence and since it has created, it takes care of it, that is the part of the whole show called life.  Nature is responsible for its creation since it is the basis of everything it has created, otherwise they would not have existed.

Nature is the ultimate Kartha, the doer. The doer does it all, we are just a witness to all his doings.  We should realize that we have come into existence because of the grace of nature.  It has decided to introduce you into this environment because it knows for sure you fit in here.  This environment even which is created by nature is conducive for your existence.  

The nature is responsible for all its creations, you and I are not.  We do not own anything here including ourselves.  We are not born here to stake claim to anything or everything. We cannot claim anything on this earth that is of our own including our own body.  The only thing that you own is your consciousness.  Being conscious of what you are, who you are and where you are is what you and I need to come to realization in life.  The sooner you realize that better for you.

Antaryaami means inner witness.  You are the inner witness.  You are not what you appear to be, you are deep inside of your being.  You are not the flesh and blood, you are the conscious part of your body.  You are the witness to all the evolutionary process of nature in your time period or your lifetime.  You and me are coming into existence and exiting from it in fraction of a second in natures timetable, which is eternal.  Nature created the environment first and you are the new entrant being born in this environment.  There are millions of life forms coming into existence every second on this earth and this evolutionary process has been going on time immemorable.

Antaryaami is referred to God, the force, existing in all creations.  Life is a realization where one comes to understanding that there exists a force which has created everything and controls everything and we just need to submit ourselves to it completely.  It is only out of realization you come to understanding allowing the force to take control of you by letting go of your self.  When you let go of your self, you start flowing with the nature and it knows where to.  It is only through your complete submission you merge with the Universal Soul or the Ultimate Reality, the one who is above all else - ParaBrahma.

Spirituality helps you to realize who you really are and helps you to let go of your self and start flowing with the river of nature and live life gloriously by transforming your self into an Enlightened Being.

If you want to know who you really are take the path of Spirituality and understand the spirit behind everything in life.
