From my way to path of Self Realization............... "An effort of communication beyond the reach of words."
A compilation of humble sharing being intuited as spiritual experiences while traversing upon the divine path from way to Self Realization during interaction of the self with "Self" in guidance of an enlightened sage is getting reflected in "From my way to path of self realization".The contents are only for self contentment with firm confirmation to what says Lord Buddha: "Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who has said it not even if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reasons and your own common sense."
“Then that goal should be sought for,
after
arriving at which one does not have to turn back again,
with a sense of total submission to that primal God
whence
all worldly life is born.”
*
But how to effect the quest for this God? Self-surrender is an essential condition for it. There should be the feeling
that “I am at the mercy of God”–
the Infinite Being from whom the primordial world-tree has sprouted and grown.
This tree cannot be cut down without seeking shelter under him.
Self surrender is certainly an essential condition to effect the quest for God. This leads to traverse upon the “Path of Self Realization”
Ishaavasyam idam sarvam
Yat kinha jagatyam jagat
Tena tyaktena bhujitha
Ma gridhah kasya svida dhanam
Most revered Aurobindo says in his exposition:
” All this is for habitations by the Lord,
whatsoever is individual universe of moment in the universe motion.
By that renounced thou shouldst enjoy,lust not for any man’s possession”.
The main sense behind the word used here as “habitations” is that Supreme Power
is
all pervading in the whole universe,whatsoever you perceive,experience and realize
by
your senses,that all in all,is under presence of basis of all,
supreme ruler upon all beings,super owner,almighty,knower of all,immaculate,imbued with
light of consciousness Supreme Power.
Every where and always,it is completely fulfilled with HIM.
And now Bhagavad Gita resonates:
मया ततमिदं सर्वं जगदव्यक्तमूर्तिना।
मत्स्थानि सर्वभूतानि न चाहं तेष्ववस्थितः॥९-४॥
mayā tatamidam sarvam jagadavyaktamūrtinā
matsthāni sarvabhūtāni na cāham tesvavasthitah
“The whole world is pervaded by me, the unmanifest Supreme Being,
and
all beings dwell within my will but I am not in them.”
The unmanifest form in which God exists spreads through every atom of the universe and all beings have their life within him. But he is not in them because he exists in an unmanifest form.Not a fraction of this universe is without HIS presence.
यच्चापि सर्वभूतानां बीजं तदहमर्जुन।
न तदस्ति विना यत्स्यान्मया भूतं चराचरम्॥१०-३९॥
yaccāpi sarvabhūtānām bījam tadahamarjuna
na tadasti vinā yatsyānmayā bhūtam carācaram
“And, O Arjun, I am also the seed from which all beings have sprung up, because
there is nothing animate or inanimate
which is without my maya.”
There is nothing, no being, in the whole world who is devoid of God because he pervades all. All beings resemble him and are close to him.
अथवा बहुनैतेन किं ज्ञातेन तवार्जुन।
विष्टभ्याहमिदं कृत्स्नमेकांशेन स्थितो जगत्॥१०-४२॥
athavā bahunaitena kim jñātena tavārjuna
vistabhyāhamidam krtsnamekāmśena sthito jagat
“Or, instead of knowing anything more, O Arjun, just remember that I am here and I bear the whole world with just a fraction of my power.”

“But that man achieves spiritual tranquillity who has mastered his mind,
and
who remains unaffected by sense-objects
although
he may be roaming amidst them,
because
his senses are properly restrained.”
Possessed of the means of spiritual realization, the sage who has experienced an intuitive perception of the identity of Self and the Supreme Spirit achieves the state
of
the most sublime peace, because he has subdued his senses, and therefore remained untouched by their objects even though he may be wandering in their midst.
No prohibitions are needed for such a man.
There is for him nothing unpropitious anywhere against which he should fight
and
defend himself.
There is also for him no good for which he should yearn.
[ Revered Adgadanandji Gurudev ]
A very transparent vision to be understood while traversing upon the “Path of Self Realization”
“I tell you the truth: there is nothing wrong in your being in the world.
But you must direct your mind toward God;
otherwise you will not succeed.
Do your duty with one hand
and
with the other hold to God.
After the duty is over you will hold to God with both hands”
~Ramakrishna~
And Bhagavad Gita resonates:
बहूनां जन्मनामन्ते ज्ञानवान्मां प्रपद्यते।
वासुदेवः सर्वमिति स महात्मा सुदुर्लभः॥
* bahūnām janmanāmante jñānavānmām prapadyate
vāsudevah sarvamiti sa mahātmā sudurlabhah
“That great Soul is indeed most rare
who worships me with the knowledge, acquired at the end of many births, that I am the only reality.’’
*
The enlightened sage, who is at last blessed with perception after meditating for many births, undertakes divine adoration with the conviction that God is everything.
Such a sage is the most rare.
He does not worship any external entity,
but
rather feels the presence of God within his own Self.
The basic to know and implement prior to make any move
for traversing upon
the
“Path of Self Realization”
Though the path is well defined yet since it is one to one journey, one must keep in mind about what has been suggested by Buddha while traversing upon the “Path of Self Realization”
Nirbhay Nirgun Gun Re Gaunga
Mul kamal drudh asan bandhuji, ulati pavan chdhaunga
Man mamata ko thir kar launji, pancho tatva milaunga
Ingala, pingala, sukhaman nadiji, tiraveni par ho nhaunga
Panch pachiso pakad mangaunji, ek hi dor lagaunga
Shunya shikhar par anahad bajeji, rag chhattis sunaunga
Kahat Kabira suno bhai sadhoji, jit nishan dhuraunga…..!!!
******
Fearlessly I Will Sing the Attributes of the One without Attributes
Using the Base Lotus as the Steady Seat
I Will Make the Wind Rise in Reverse
Steadying the Mind’s Attachments
I Will Unify the Five Elements Ingila, Pingala and Sukhman are the Channels
I Will Bathe at the Confluence of the Three Rivers
The Five and Twenty Five I Will Master by my Wish
And String them Together by One Common Thread
At the Summit of Aloneness the Un-struck Anahad Sound Reverberates
I Will Play the Thirty-Six Different Symphonies
Says Kabir Listen Oh Practicing Aspirant
I Will Wave the Flag of Victory
Revered sage Kabir sings the summit of nothingness. The feat of reaching the summit of creation is celebrated by the waving of a flag of victory and sounds of a myriad of rhythmic symphonies coming from the eternal un-struck sound that brings forth the entire creation itself. A great realization from the “Path of Self Realization”
To gain clarity is a gradual process blessed by that eternal path which is known as “Path of Self Realization”.
Soul helps always as lamp post being fraction of Super Soul.
Soul never misguides and for them who can really listen,
there is a presence fully awake and fully alert.
Just having one desire on top priority
and
that is of God with watchful waiting will enable you
in
slowly recognizing more and more subtle places
where you have to relinquish all your *desires”.
Those who are getting blessed by sagely attributes
do not desire any personal gain…,
do not wish for anything
that
would cause discomfort or harm any other….,
do not wish for own spiritual path to be any ‘faster’ or easier
than necessary.
For such seekers, God himself starts managing the pace
and
keeps the regulator in his safe hands.
God neither acts himself nor causes others to act,
and does not even devise coincidences.
It is only because of their deluded minds
that
people believe that every action is effected by God.
But for real devotees,
God is ever inclined to help and support such loving worshipers.
He is a doer for them-their charioteer.
In case of defeat in this internal war,
a real devotee would be rewarded with heavenly existence
and….,
in case of victory,
with attainment of the Supreme Spirit.
Where a devotee is looser? No where….!!!
The best prayer is to pray every single moment
for
Clarity, vision and understanding of all that Soul wishes to convey from Creator….
to pray for stillness within…..
a calm that will enable recognition of all that has yet to dissolve….. and above all…
to pray for well-being and elevated positive vibrational frequency
of
entire collective……That is what it is needed.
Pray…pray…pray..dear blessed souls… because it is prayer which is the best supporter while traversing upon the “Path of Self Realization”.
