सूर्योदय वा ज्ञानोदय - Sunrise and Enlightenment

सूर्योदय वा ज्ञानोदय - Sunrise and Enlightenment

Sūryodaya and Jñānodaya

    Rise of the Sun in the early morning is Suryodaya and the great awakening that can happen in your life is Jnanodaya or Enlightenment.  Both the words are light related.  Coming out of ignorance or darkness towards knowing or light is what is called getting enlightened about the facts of life.  When you come to know the truth, then you are an enlightened being.

    We are born with eyes to see but unless there is light from the Sun we are as good as blind.  We can visualize ourselves and our surrounding environment only when we have rays of light falling on them.  So, light places an important and significant role throughout our lifetime on this earth.  In fact, life was possible on this planet earth because of optimum light and heat we receive from the eternal source, The Sun.  When there is sunlight, we can visualize things in the right perspective and during the absence of Sun or darkness, we need to reflect on what we had visualized during our daytime.

    Getting up early in the morning before sunrise is Suryodaya and is the first step towards reaching the higher consciousness in life.  The day breaks when Sun starts appearing and shining brightly from its horizon.  All birds, insects, and animals which are diurnal in nature will always be ready before Sun rises from the supposed direction of East and shines over the earth giving a relief to all earthly creatures.  We can hear the chirping sounds of the birds and insects way before early in the morning before Sunrise.  

    We can only learn through keen observation of the environment we are born in and absorbing what we had observed into our system and that is the only way.  Anything and everything should be and will be a firsthand experience to the observer.  The observer and the observed is what determines an individual becoming or transforming into an Enlightened Being.

    Man is the only animal who is not in synch with the environment.  When you think about life you are going out of the mainstream natural process.  Your feeling and being is enough without any sort of thinking.  Thinking will make you go out of the present and you miss everything and mess everything.  Involvement of the mind will be a spoilsport in knowing about things and later on transforming yourselves into an Enlightened Being.  Mind will act as a 'spoke in the wheel' to understand the intricate process of life and living.  

    If you be where you are by being in the present, it will make it easier to understand and experience what life is all about.  It is only through keen observation and later on absorption of everything into your being will make you realize what life truly is.  Truth is always in the present. Only by being a witness to all the happenings inside and outside of yourselves will give you a thorough insight into the process involved in life and living.  Just by being a witness to all the happenings around you, you will gain tremendous knowledge and understanding about the ongoing natural evolutionary process ongoing eternally since time immemorial.

    It is up to each and every individual born on this earth whether they want to be stupid individual or transform themselves into an Enlightened Being.  The choice is there in front of everyone of us.  It is at individual discretion, what he/she wants to be and not to be in life.

    Spirituality is all about knowing thyself.  It is an intricate internal journey within our own self to know the absolute truth of life and living.  It is a journey towards self discovery.  Unless you know who you are, where you are, what you are, you will not be able to find the real meaning in or for life.

Embrace Spirituality, know yourselves completely

Celebrate Your Existence by enjoying and 'living life to the fullest'
