Words from the Master

Just function with awareness, and infinity will simply open out. When it does, you will feel afraid because you are not used to seeing such open space before. You are used to seeing boundaries all the time. Now you are not able to see the fence anywhere. You start getting apprehensive.

You immediately think that you have entered the wrong space. Reality seems too much to digest. You start feeling insecure. You feel like going back to the warmth of your past beliefs and illusions. You feel you have made a mistake by not listening to society when it told you that you were going on the wrong path. You start doubting and then doubting the doubt as well.

Life suddenly seems shaky. You don’t know where you are heading. You feel like a lonely child left in the middle of a desert. It is in times like these that you need to remember that Existence is always with you and that your courage needs only to mature and go hand in hand with faith upon Existence and then everything will be alright. Faith is the prodding stick for courage.

Unless a revolution happens inside you, you can never rupture and grow into a tree. Most of us remain a seed and die, because of lack of courage. We always try to dissect the seed to find the fruits and flowers. Will it ever help? No! The seed has to rupture to grow. Similarly, when a radical change happens, when a revolution is created in man, he will rupture and grow. All meditations are nothing but techniques to make the seed rupture.

When you start rupturing, all your priorities start changing. What was important before becomes no more important. Only the things that nurture your Being will seem important. Your whole attitude will change. Your whole presence will change.

Your presence will automatically lure people to you although they might not approve of it! The radiance felt in your inner core will attract them with deep curiosity. While society will criticize you for your changed attitude, it will start finding your presence distinctly different.

When the transformation is happening, just utterly ignore anything from the past. The past will again and again try to pull you into familiar patterns and deep bondage. When you listen to the words of others, you are allowing yourself to be in bondage. Just decide and hold on to the ecstasy and conviction of the transformation happening in you. This is your greatest test - the test of your perseverance to transform completely. Hold on until the transformation is complete and mature.

Understand this one thing: There is a Cosmic Energy that fills this universe and there is an Energy that fills you. Spirituality is all about establishing a live connection between the Cosmic Energy and the energy in you. When your individual consciousness merges with the Universal Consciousness, you become enlightened.

Just a desire to get enlightened will not do. It needs to be a conscious decision. See, ordinary desires are nothing but greed that don’t really propel you towards your specific goal. A conscious decision is what will make you work towards achieving.

People don’t understand these things properly and simply talk at a superficial level. When you don’t understand, you misunderstand. But you think you have understood and there starts the problem.

Spirituality is a science that gives a deep understanding of our body, mind and spirit. When you enter it with awareness, the outer world will slowly dissolve. When people see you from outside, they will think that you are renouncing. Only you will understand that you are not renouncing anything, the outer world things are simply dissolving on their own. The illusion disappears and you become de-hypnotized.
