Enlightenment 61 - I am in peace.
This state is highly evolved state. It is very very hard to understand. I am with complete peace within myself. This is the most toughest state to attain. There is perfect calm in every sense, especially in meditation. In this, light starts emerging. The beautiful experience. Sat Chit Aanandam is the goal. Once happiness is experienced or attained, all other pleasures are negligible. Many religions preach how to attain this state which is crucial for enlightenment.
In material world we are seeking quiet place. Noise and light pollution is killing us. Due to electricity lights, we are not able to see clear skies and stars. Man made lights blocked the Aakash wonders. The natures noise we always appreciate and enjoy. Some of these sounds may be scary, mostly it is present. When I escape to mountains, ocean, forest it is so soothing. I can feel the body changing. Body desperately trying to connect to nature.
A yogi must prepare for best meditation. Bring bhakthi emotions, happy things, seek with Vishnu what you want accomplish. Request your body and mind to cooperate. Relax and sit. Meditate. Let it take its own course. The calmness sets in. Time is irrelevant and dissolved. Body, mind and soul trying to attain a state of peace. It is hard to stay in that. You feel a glimpse of this peace may be for fee seconds. Thats it, you experienced it.
What this internal peace leads us to is Vishnu.
Enlightenment 62 - Performing Miracles
When I say I am a yogi or Rishi, the question is Can I tell future and perform miracles? My answer is NO. In fact a yogi should not aim for Siddhis. Even if it acquired, must be ignored. When you use them means, you are better than normal humans and you want to show off to prove you are a yogi or for fame and money. The miracles I am not talking about that magicians perform using a trick. This is real by acquiring super human qualities by being a yogi. Even for fun you not supposed to perform it. If we do, succumbed to materialistic temptation.
The spiritual journey is being ordinary, ponder why I was born and after death what happens to me? This is first shatter of Maya. The immediate question is what to do next? At this basic moment the natural forces starts opposing the journey with materialistic temptations. From this stage practice many things to he a yogi. In this journey many challenges are encountered. Many quit it submit to temptations. At advanced state of yogi or Rishi you are blessed with some extraordinary power meaning that Vishnu is testing you. If you cant handle simple simple states like siddhis, how will you behave, if you acquire extraordinary powers. If you become a demigod, what will you do?
Yogic practice is healthy eat to live, dont abuse the body even by performing dangerous acts in the name bhakthi. Keep the mind and body healthy. Develop
extraordinary discipline. Ability to focus on a work or act. Slowly connect with nature. See the extraordinary things that she reveals it you. Be her son, rest she will help you. Completely surrender to God and its acts when you are not in control of it. Develop Absolute bhakthi, clean karma or action, extraordinary spiritual knowledge. Enjoy deeper and deeper meditative states. Be a one of the best yogis and Rishis as blessed by Vishnu.
All the above what I am performed and performing are miracles.
Enlightenment 63 - Subconscious mind
The subconscious mind is a data-bank for everything, which is not in your conscious mind. It stores your beliefs, your previous experience, your memories, your skills. ... Every time when you have an idea, or an emotion, a memory or an image from the past, this is the subconscious mind communicating to your conscious mind.
It is also your guidance system. It constantly monitors the information coming from the senses for dangers and opportunities. And it would communicate that information to the conscious mind.
when you meditate and you start controlling your breath, you get the control from the subconscious mind and give it to your conscious mind. You start breathing deep and deep with your stomach. Then you stop to control it and your subconscious starts doing it. You do not have to think about it any more.
Communicating thoughts from your conscious mind to your subconscious mind is difficult because it should be done with emotions. Only the thoughts that are conveyed with genuine emotions make it to the back of your mind. And only the thoughts that are backed up by a strong emotion stay there.
Your subconscious mind will also act on thoughts that are conveyed with desire. Powered by desire, your subconscious mind will do anything in order to obtain the object of the desire. It would also open all available channels to the conscious mind for information on how to do that.
All spiritual knowledge is hidden deep deep deep inside our subconscious mind. The strongest desire to have Vishnu dharshan and yogic practice will unravel the hidden knowledge and ultimately opens up door for Vishnu.
Enlightenment 64 - Birth and Death Labor of Bhoomatha
Our earth has seen many births and deaths. Imagine ourselves how much grief we go through if a loved one passes away. Subconsciously the connection is snapped. It is all depends upon how much we love and hate a person. If hated, then subconsciously you feel joy because that person can longer will hurt you. Same way, if loved, the connection in many ways will negatively effect you. Same for most a birth brings lot of joy after so much pain. Both ways a human feels the pain.
For almost 2 billion years the earth is going through this labor of birth and death. It is constantly under pain which she enjoys in birthing, nurturing and protecting. Eventually it knows, whatever it created must be destroyed. She looks at Gods and Vishnu many times for help. All blesses her for laboring her karma to produce divine beings. Anyone and everyone we know born on earth only few realized them selves. Such is this wonderful place with motherly love you will never experience anywhere. Remember our love must be for entire planet not for human beings only.
Like humans Earth is very happy when something is born especially a human, hoping he will achieve self awareness and bring the divine aanandam to earth so that she can rejoice too. When her creation keep drifting away from god, it endures sadness and also when humans are hurting her, she is bearing a like a loving mother. When her creation dies, she mourns and continues with more births.
I am trying to bring Vishnu aanandam on to earth.
Enlightenment 65 - FAITH
Faith means- belief, firm persuasion, assurance, firm conviction, faithfulness. Faith is confidence in what we hope for and the assurance that the God is working, even though we cannot see it. Faith knows that no matter what the situation, in our lives or someone else's that the God is working in it.
There are at least two main perspectives on religious faith and truth:
Exclusionary: One faith is true, and any other belief system that disagrees with it in any way is untrue, and therefore probably dangerous.
This kind of faith lead to many wars and communal riots. No mentality to understand at the higher level. Sticking to this principal, many try to convert people to their religion, thinking that God will guarantee a place the person in heaven.
Non-exclusionary: Truth is there, and various faiths do differently well at approaching it. Moreover, different practitioners of the faith do differently well in exploring what their faith has to offer, and so they individually approach Truth differently.
This is one of the best view. Every religion has its own way of seeking God and enlightenment and many are/were enlightened. I respect my religion, so do others as well.
Many times we read in scriptures that a Rishi was meditating for 1000 years, Vishnu and Hiranyakshu fought for thousands of years, Rama lived in dwapara yugam around 1 million year back, Vedas are 24k years old etc are all faith. Meaning there is no proof but based on their view point it happened. Sometimes some of the interpretations which may be illogical but for faith it is true. Always remember ignorance will not lead you to God.
Firm faith is needed in Vishnu for enlightenment.
Enlightenment 66 - The eternity of time
For us the times moves forward. We have this imagination that we want to go back in time and see the things that happened in real time. To measure the time as accurately as possible and try to use it everyday life was a major problem at least till 200 years back. What is the time? It depends where you are. There are 2 concepts developed, one based on the moon which is waxing and waning easy to visually estimate day and time. Day time mostly based on position of sun and shadow. This obsession lead many fascinations of how it impacts humans daily life.
For us time is fixed based on sun and moon as well as life time of us. In that we frame time. At least now we have the depth to ask what is the time means, depends upon the place on earth. Based on average we live 60 to 80 years. What happens if this is increased to eternity or thousand of years. Unbelievably long time and new life style must be designed.
I am fascinated by the idea of living longer and younger. Materialistically a great achievement that humanity is trying to achieve and it may happen. How this is useful spiritually? We are here for a specific experience and to perform karma based on the solar system creation. Once this is done, we move on to next janamam and experiences. This will hinder the progress of my journey. Many may say a human living 1000 years is also karma as designed by Vishnu. Again it is divine play to test you.
Understanding infinite nature of time is very important to understand vishnu.
Enlightenment 67 - Divine Love
The most fundamental feature of Divine love is that it tends to transcend itself. In other words, it has a strong urge to overcome itself, which in turn leads to an equally strong urge for creation. That's why we say that without Divine love nothing would be created.
Divine do not harbor destructive, negative feelings. In divine sacred love, we are able to let go and unite on a deep spiritual level. ... If you do something for me, I will give you something back and keep on loving you; this exchange is done both consciously and unconsciously. It is subtle. The love and lover revolve around each other for aanandam and creation. Many times my love is divine towards you. This true love leads to marriage and raising family.
Divine connections are- relationships or associations sent directly from God. ... These connections/people are sent to link with you, join with you and bond with you. They are designed by God to help bring to past a promise or a future event that is pre-ordained.
Divine force or power - powers or forces that are universal, or transcend human capacities. Divinity applied to mortals - qualities of individuals who are considered to have some special access or relationship to the divine.
A powerful force is love which provides much happiness. Imagine the divine love which is not only towards God but also beings and nature. Through love we connect to many beings. If we make sincere attempt to connect to Vishnu, it slowly turns into divine love, which leads to Aanandam.
The state being in divine love is a glimpse of enlightenment.
Enlightenment 68 - Dharshan of a Rishi
Darshan is derived from the Sanskrit word darsana meaning “sight,” “vision,” or “appearance.” In the Hindu tradition, darshan refers to the beholding of a holy person, sacred object, natural phenomenon, or deity especially in imaged form. Darshan implies a mutual interaction between the viewer and the perceived object or being. Although it requires nothing more than the performance of seeing, darshan is considered a powerful form of worship and process of spiritual fulfillment.
6 Darshans
- The Nyaya: Sage Gautama devised the principles of Nyaya or the Indian logical system. The Nyaya is considered as a prerequisite for all philosophical inquiry.
- The Vaiseshika: The Vaiseshika is a supplement of the Nyaya. Sage Kanada composed the Vaiseshika Sutras.
- The Sankhya: Sage Kapila founded the Sankhya system.
- The Yoga: The Yoga is a supplement to the Sankhya. Sage Patanjali systematized the Yoga school and composed the yoga sutras.
- The Mimamsa: Sage Jaimini, a disciple of the great sage Vyasa composed the Sutras of the Mimamsa school, which is based on the ritual sections of the Vedas.
- The Vedanta: The Vedanta is an amplification and fulfillment of the Sankhya. Sage Badarayana composed the Vedanta-Sutras or Brahma-Sutras which expound the teachings of the Upanishads.
A Rishi will have his view or darshan of spirituality of his journey, this he would like to express it in the form poetic writing Which is kind of concise information, which can be used by future generations. As many falsely propagate, Rishsi didnt invent advanced scientific truths like what we see today, they envisioned how one should pursue self realization. The avidaya and ignorance is that Hindus were scientifically advanced is a myth and all the things that exists today and in future are already known to hinduism preposterous.
What I write is my darshan of Vishnu.
Enlightenment 69 - The Sunyam or Emptiness or Nothingness
Man times i heard what did Ramanuja, Shankara, Annamaacharya saw or enlightened? The answer I got was sunyam. Wondered, is that so? If true what and how it is?
Everything came from nothingness. What this mean? Let us understand at very very fundamental level. If I borrow $1 from you, immediately a -$1 is generated. Your account is -$1 and my account is +$1. Where this negative came from. Does it really exist? The real money is with me, but how about -$1? This is called duality which immediately forms when created or transacted. -$1 is imaginary in this case. so -1+1=0. sunyam.
In our om universe there is no emptiness. Even though it seems there is something which we cant see or prove scientifically. What is this Sunyam we are talking about? Physically there is no empty space in the universe. In everything there is something. I call this as prana. When a creation happens from the source, immediately the equal and opposite comes out. Sometimes it exist but not visible.
The sunyam that we talk are the things that are not visible and comprehendible things in the universe. To perceive this we have to understand this duality. When two equal and opposite thing merge, they annihilate each other and disappear somewhere and we say that to sunyam. It comes from somewhere we dont see. I another case duality meets a new thing is created again from nothingness. There is something that is creating it. When we know, it is a glimpse of enlightenment.
I really dont know what others saw today and 1k years back. Waiting to see this ultimate experience.
Enlightenment 70 - Temple Visits
Based on my yogic journey, in the beginning I thought that God is in the temple and blesses all. Many stories and people told me God is everywhere. Didnt understand how? meaning how to understand and perceive he is everywhere? Whenever I visited temples, many times I was blessed, felt it. Especially in Tirumala and many Venkataramana temples. It is true the divine will bless through idol as well for those who cant perceive that he us everywhere and inside us too.
Slowly started realizing why should I visit temples, perform rituals, and many yogic activities. I sincerely believed that if do them Vishnu blesses me. Swamy help me to get money and I will give 10%, or in my ventures etc. This kind of expectation is for ordinary ignorant mind. Always phalam or expect something in return or do something like dosha pooja. To transform myself need to improve my eternal knowledge with no expectations. Whatever happens is all good for me.
It took so many years to understand That Vishnu is inside me and everywhere. I see naamam, lingam and prakrithi everywhere. In the basic form of an atom itself, his will and maya is induced. Once I understood, had the glimpse of enkightement, how Vishnu is everything, everywhere and inside me as well. When I imagined entire universe, it was mind boggling.
I do visit temples but with different perception of Vishnu that I know who you are!!!
