There can be no devotion without knowing the object of devotion….!!!

There can be no devotion
without knowing the object of devotion
and
knowledge comes from contemplation.

Without devotion there can be no peace
and
a man with a disturbed mind cannot experience happiness,
much less the state of changeless,
eternal bliss.

Although all the burden of worship
is
borne by the worshipper,
the real worshiper is God
because he is always by the devotee,
urging and guiding him.

Our worst foe dwells
within our own senses,
mind, and intellect.
It is through them that desire envelops knowledge
and
deludes the embodied Soul.

To trim the mind along with the body and senses in keeping with the goal is Penance….!!!

True cure is that which provides liberation
from
the general malady of the world.
The beginning of worship or adoration
is
the commencement of this remedy.
When meditation is complete, we are wholly cured.

The Supreme Spirit is the only God
and
the means-the impulses-that provide access to that God
are
the “divine treasure”
because they bring the ultimate God within reach.

The world is an expanded form of the mind.

So the mutable world is the object
that has to be offered as a sacrifice.
When the mind is perfectly controlled,
there is also perfect control over the world.

To trim the mind along with the body
and
senses in keeping with the goal,
is
penance.

They tend to digress from the goal
but have to be pulled back and applied to it.

The real Yagya is restraint of the vital winds of life, 
subduing of the senses, 
and control of the mind.

Oneness….only oneness exists……!!!!

Silence always leads towards eternal silence.

When your mind and senses get totally restrained,
there is no way out
except
to reach to the stage of stillness…….., of complete silence….!!!

 And beloved waits there….
waits for your final merger
so that eternal silence may ever last for infinite eternal silence.

You exist no more
and
identity is lost forever.

Drop drops in ocean and gets named as ocean.

Oneness….only oneness exists.

*****************

A journey from silence to eternal silence
till to reach
to
the stage of stillness,of complete silence
is 
to be traversed upon

“Path of Self Realization”

How witness at the beginning is transformed into the Supreme Spirit himself…?

Jeeva/Maya/Supreme being and then Jeeva/Supreme Being minus Maya
and
then remains only Supreme Being with final merger getting minus
to
Jeeva and Maya.

Bhagavad Gita sings:

upadrastānumantā ca bhartā bhoktā maheśvarah
paramātmeti cāpyukto dehe’sminpurusah parah

“Although residing in the body, the Soul is transcendental
and
said to be the witness, the granter, the enjoyer,
and
the great God and Supreme Spirit.”

The Soul dwelling in the sphere of the heart
is
even closer than one’s hands, feet, and mind. Whether we do good or evil,
he is unconcerned. He just stands as a witness-an onlooker,
(updrashta)

When the right course of worship is taken and the wayfarer rises a little higher,
the
approach of the witnessing Soul changes and he becomes the granter.
(anumanta)

Now he begins to grant and confer intuitions. When the seeker is yet closer to the goal by
further spiritual discipline, the Soul begins to support and sustain.
(bharta) 

Now he also provides the propitious yog.
Then he turns into the enjoyer.
(bhokta)

when the worship is even more refined. He accepts whatever yagya or penance
is
performed, and at the stage after this acceptance
he is transformed into the great God.
(Maheshwar)

He is now master of nature, but since he is master of nature it follows that nature yet abides in some part of him.

At even a higher stage than this,after the soul is endowed with the attributes
of
the ultimate,he comes to be known as the the Supreme Spirit.
Thus although dwelling in the body,
this soul or Purush is yet transcendental – quite beyond nature.

Witness at the beginning is transformed into the Supreme Spirit himself.

Until that moment …………. the seeker has to carry on his worship…..!!!

Both the ways,
of light and darkness,
of knowledge and ignorance,
have been forever.
But the merits of worship are never destroyed.

The one who dies in the state of knowledge
and
brightness achieves ultimate salvation,
but
the one who departs from the body
in the state of ignorance and obscurity
has to come back
and undergo yet another birth.

And this succession of one birth after another goes on
until there is perfect light;
until that moment ………….
the seeker has to carry on his worship.

Simply to keep quite is not silence…..!!!!

Simply to keep quite is not silence…..!!!

When
all the possible doors
of
your mind and senses get closed permanently
for total filtering of any material noise
as a result of
spiritual austerities,
one reaches to the stage of silence.

silence

 Such person is real “Muni”
because
mind and senses are in status of complete “maun” i.e. silence
and
activities for sensual pleasures get silent for ever.

This is the stage
which leads
to
eternal silence.
