Who am I?

 

Quote from the true charm and power of Vedanta

 

Who am I?

 

There is boundless energy within each one of us but we are not aware of the invaluable treasure or heavenly store within ourselves. Man sometimes makes a fool of himself by believing that he is nothing but a bundle of foibles and limitations. He sometimes acts like a neurotic, and at other times like a murderous criminal. What is really meant by the “I” or every one?

When we understand that the real seat of energy is within us, one which we are normally ignorant of, we surmount our limitations and overcome our emotional idiosyncrasies. We become free and we attain knowledge and wisdom. With this attainment, no matter what position, we are in, our speech, our behavior our activities undergo a radical transformation. Poet Bendre said. Get into thyself, see thyself, be thyself. What is meant by “Be thyself”? When we try to understand our true nature by means of proper thought technique, inquiry and experience we get immersed in the depths of our beings. Then we have glimpse of the profound light latent within ourselves.  

We realize that this light is not a figment of our imagination but a matter of profound truth.

 

“Dwell , O mind within yourself.

Enter no other’s home.

If you but seek there, you will find

All you are searching for.

 

God, the true philosopher’s stone.

Who answers every prayers.

Lies hidden deep within your heart

The richest get of all.

How many pearls and precious stones

Are scattered all about.

The outer court that lies before

The chamber of your heart!”

 

When we properly dissect and analysis this principle of “I” we get to know the secret behind it and its immense potential. We are actually gifted with wonderful energy that is beyond verbal description and that is only limited by our imaginations. If shackles itself with imaginary thoughts about restrictions. How one can free oneself from this shackles is and extremely exciting and thrilling investigation. We don’t have to conduct experiments in any laboratory to hold this investigation. Our mind itself is the laboratory. It is thought itself which serves as a sword to cut the Gordian knot of the problem. How do we realize our own strength, using this sword of effective thought?

 

Courtesy learn to live

 

Seek help to tune yourself to higher vibrations

 

By Sant Rajinder Singh

 

If we are to succeed in any new endeavour, we require the guidance of an expert in the field who has achieved mastery of the subject. Such mastery requires many years of diligence, hard work, sacrifice and painstaking determination. Whether in the arena of medicine, sports, engineering, or any other field, an expert can help guide us and show us the way forward. Spirituality is no different.

 

To excel in the spiritual arena, we need to find an expert who has already unravelled the mysteries of life, has completed the spiritual journey and can guide us step by step through the vastness of inner regions. Such an expert is known as a spiritual master.

 

 

Principles of spirituality work like scientific laws that govern our planet. Laws that work in our universe are reflections of those that govern the higher realms of creation. Principles at work both in the physical and spiritual realms can help us understand how a spiritual master serves as a catalyst to ignite our spark within.

 

Think of how scientists and engineers connect sources of power and energy to people’s homes. Engineers devise systems in which electrical energy from the power plant is channelised to a home. They make new connections and fix broken ones.

 

Also, making connections to receive electronic or digital signals in this physical realm is analogous to making connections between the soul and God. For both, we need a sender and a receiver. The divine sender is the Lord. The receiver of God’s broadcast is our soul. The master is a specialist who makes the connection so that our soul can be receptive to the messages from God.

 

We need such a specialist because God’s messages come only as spirit and do not involve any matter. Since the receiver in the physical body is the brain and the senses made of matter, it is limited to only receiving communications from the material world. The master is a catalyst that tunes our attention to these higher vibrations. The latent spark of the Divine is within each human being. It awaits a catalyst to ignite it so that its brilliant flame can be actualised.

 

To receive spiritual communication from the Divine, we need to be in tune with another system of reception, known as the soul. Right now there is a static interfering with the connection between the soul and God. On our own, we do not know how to eliminate interference to open lines of communication. A spiritual master helps us understand the purpose of our lives and reminds us of the soul’s long journey and separation from God. He teaches us meditation techniques by which we learn to withdraw our attention from the outer physical world and focus it on the third eye, the gateway to inner spiritual worlds. We embark on this journey and awaken to our true nature as souls through meditation. With continued guidance from a master, we then gradually advance towards the soul’s ultimate destination – God’s Abode.

 

If we are to fulfil the supreme purpose of our lives, it is imperative that we seek guidance from a spiritual master.

 

 

IF HE EXIST

 I drive joy there was a doctor in Benaras who spent 7 minutes in the morning and evening for mediation on God. Knowing this, his colleagues and friends laughed at him. One day they argued that he was wasting 7 precious minutes on something, which he had been misled into believing. The doctor replied, “Well, if God does not exist, I agree that I am wasting 7 minutes a day. But, if He exists? I am afraid you are wasting your entire lifetime. I prefer to waste 7 minutes rather than a lifetime. Why should you grudge me the 7minutes joy that I derive 4m.-
