Soul power
A Journey within.

The search for the self.
Search for the unlimited which has been limited.

Let us start from today on a path to nowhere.
The journey which is the destination itself.

It is the journey within.
no need to go anywhere
we are the destination
Just the awakening needed here.

To awaken the soul one needs to become oneself. To come home
there is no need to go anywhere. No need to achieve anything for enlightenment.
In fact if something is to be done it is the unlearning.
To leave whatever has been picked up till date.
No need to carry the load of experiences of  life.
The moment the loads are dropped the awakening happens.
Realization happens that i am already at home.

Experience is nothing but Expanding one's life

What is an Experience?
Yesterday 'Auli' explained that very nicely while sharing her experience.

Experience is not achieving anything in this world or getting anything (including happiness).
It is the learning we derive from the events taking place in our lives. Most of the times we are so lost in generating material happiness through myriad means that we miss out on the real happiness which is through expanding our lives. We have to expand our lives through the infinite events taking place in the environment involving us. It so happens that only a major event in our life gives a jerk and makes us realise, giving us the experience. If we are awake (in real sense), each moment is an experience. Each moment adds something to our life, if  only we are there to grasp and take it with us. When we can do that then the happiness and the sorrow are not two different things. These are only the experiences giving something meaningful to the life thus allowing us to expand our life. Let us resolve today to take every moment as an experience and allow that experience to expand our life. In this way each moment will be giving us a life force which is unimaginable.
 A yogi keeps gaining this life force every moment and hence the radiance on his face and the youthfulness and elegance in his personality.

Revisiting my blog

When I myself revisit the Blog and go through the writings i have poured in the past it really gives me a feeling that we do keep on learning new things through our understanding of the different circumstances we pass through. When i read these writings again i really feel enlightened by the depth of the feelings these writings convey and marvel at the understanding of the person writing them. These seem to have originated from someone who is not me.

This suggests that i and he are two entities. The one whom i consider myself and the other one who is so much knowledgeable, understanding the life so minutely. i think the search of the soul is the search of that one only. The realisation of the fact that i am not the one whom i consider myself but i am the one who keeps on appearing from time to time but goes away as i refuse to identify with him.

The day i connect with him and keep myself as the one rejecting the self i have associated myself all the time till date i think i am enlightened.

Awaiting that day to come for me and for all.

Oh Dear Me!

Oh Dear Me
Where did I leave thou?

Getting past my school exams
in pursuit of higher marks
never realised when and how
I lost 'me' somehow.

Further in the career building race
so engrossed extracting more from the day
I did not stop to know the self
allowing 'me' to go further away.

In the process of fulfilling desires
which I considered purpose of my life
there appeared absolutely no chance
'me' to get even a glance.

As age and fatigue took a toll
the emptiness of life as a whole
started developing guilt and fear
the darkness started whispering in the ear
thou have left 'me' somewhere.

Now when there seems no light anywhere
how can I chance upon 'me' out there
who will illuminate the secret eluding
'me' is inside that I am searching everywhere.

Independence Day

On 15August we celebrate the independence day of our country. The country becomes independent when the people of the country are independent to think. That means being able to walk on a path of  their own chosen by their own wisdom. 

The human being is born independent.
It all depends on our strong desire that how fast we can achieve that independence again.

Independence is leadership. 
No rules to follow but to live with own wisdom. 
This is the way of the Buddha. 
Each one of us is capable of becoming Buddha. 
When the people of the country become Bodhisattva the boundaries of the country are dropped and true independence is revealed. 
Till then we can only say that we got ourselves free from one ruler but are still ruled by other. 

LIMITING THE LIMITLESS

It is really amazing to observe that the social world always tries in one way or the other to bind the being in certain limits whreas it is born without limits. The lifeforce (Pran-Shakti) within human body  is limitless.

We must understand this simple fact and all our efforts must be directed towards this objective of not  containing the human being in any boundary. Discipline is not for restricting but to keep one directed towards the objective. It is to keep our focus on the true objective so that we are not distracted which normally happens with us. Discipline should not be considered as a way of limiting the human boundary. The stress in our lives these days is a product of this limiting factor.

It is like when we try to stop the flowing water by making a dam on a river. The flowing water is making all efforts to reach the limitless ocean as early as possible. When we stop the flow the pressure increases and we harness that pressure by generating electrical power. Same is the case with the human being. By discipline we are creating the pressure which is used to increase the creativity in ourselves. But this pressure upto a level helps to increase productivity and creativity,  when it crosses the optimum level it breaks down all barriers and creates havoc as a dam crashes under excessive pressure of excess restricted water in its belly.

The limit that can help us in being more productive and creative is to be determined by the individual self and not the family or society. The individual is the best judge to define his or her limits which he can manage without disturbing the desire to reach the limitless. When the limits or the boundaries extend beyond this under pressure created by the family or society  giving the impression to the individual that he or she cannot reach his or her goal of  becoming one with the limitless it is the onset of nervous breakdown. It generates the frustration of the kind we can see in most of the people in today's society. This happens without the knowledge of the individual because he is ignorant of the ultimate goal of this life.

HENCE PLEASE ALOW THE LIMITLESS TO REACH THE UNLIMITED WITHOUT ANY HINDRANCE AND THUS HELP THE SOCIETY TO GAIN ITS VIBRANCE AND EXUBERANCE AGAIN. 

Experiences

Experience is that which teaches us something 

and gives us an understanding that helps in 

being more mature. That means the events

which touch us deep down to our soul and

give us an opportunity to improve our life

in whatever little way is the experience.

How to reach the mental state of experience ? 

Spirituality takes us to a state that allows

us to experience every moment in our life.

This state of experiencing every moment of 

our life helps us to mature. This attaining maturity is the true meaning of being spiritual.

When we become an observer to the moment by

moment happenings of our life the state

of realization is achieved. This is Buddhahood.

When we are aware of everything happening to

ourselves and the surrounding environment we

become bodhisattavas.
