LEARN ABOUT THE TRINITY CALLED MIND BODY AND SPIRIT

Due to Scientific research, we all share the knowledge about how evolution of human body takes place through conception of male spermatozoa and female ovules within human bodies. Probably what we do not know that apart from being judged as mere physical matter, at sublime level it is just a shell or an abode to the most powerful and dynamic element called soul, an omnipresence of individual consciousness.

Our sustenance in this world depends on two life force energies, one called universal life force energy and another called universal cosmic energy. In eastern scriptures, universal life force energy is called “Prana Shakti” and universal cosmic energy is called “Kundalini Shakti”.

Universal life force energy plays active and passive role depending upon her flow through different plexus and also because of her adaptability to any kind of environment we live in. Thus this life force plays multi dimensional role and appears different at physical, psychological and emotional level of all human being. However universal cosmic energy has singular role of bringing sense of awareness or so called sense of being with.

The flow of these two energies is regulated through three nerves running from base of spinal cord to the head connecting all plexus through complex network of nerves. In eastern scriptures these three nerves are called “Ida”, “Pingala” and “Sushumna” or “Moon”, “Sun” and “Cosmic” nerve. The most important role of life force is to connect mind and body by infusing dynamism at all levels of mind and body. Not only our mind and body but this entire universe is live, active and flowing in rhythm due to this life force. Flowing in through right nostril and flowing out through left nostril completes the circuit of one breath of life force. At physical level although it takes few seconds to complete one breath, but that is enough for this life force which travels with speed of light, through main seven plexus and thousands of nerves; to charge billions of cells in our body, making them dynamic and active.

There are chiefly seven plexus in our body which are as follows.
1) Pelvic Plexus or Root Plexus or Muladhar Chakra.
2) Hypo gastric Plexus or Sacral Plexus or Swadhisthan Chakra.
3) Epigastric Plexus or Solar Plexus or Manipur Chakra.
4) Cardiac Plexus or Heart Plexus or Anahat Chakra.
5) Carotid Plexus or Vishudha Chakra.
6) Medulla Plexus or Adnya Chakra.
7) Cerebral Plexus or Sahastraar Chakra.

This energy is the last link between mind and body completing the circle by being as spirit between mind and body. Located at the root of spinal cord, it is said that universal cosmic energy is like serpent power, lying curled, with her tail into her mouth, sleeping below cosmic nerve in locked state, her head pointing towards downward direction. As long as it is sleeping, we loose many psychic powers available to manage natural balance between physical, psychological and emotional subtleties of our mind and body. However if this cosmic energy is awakened by meditation, breathing or any kind of yogic exercises and is allowed to enter cosmic nerve or Sushumna nerve, it rises on the top of the head and unites with the seat of universal cosmic consciousness.

Her awakening completely changes not only body but thoroughly changes emotional and psychological aspects of a person. When the veil of delusion is peeled away and the shell is broken, then the true innermost self is revealed. The mind ends its constant wavering between regrets of the past and uncertain future and comes to present moment. It is here one can experience higher plane of consciousness unknown to mankind.

This awakening process is not simple that can be brought in an hour. It has to be earned through years and years of meditation, breathing and postural exercises. Also several principles have to be adhered to experience this journey of self fulfillment. Important among them is self discipline which includes refraining from immorality, regular practice, truthfulness, non-violence and celibacy. Eating pure vegetarian food and drinking lot of water keeps body light and also keeps our mind calm. Sex brings attachment but complete suppression is also not necessary. It should be reduced and controlled as much as possible. Sleeping required by the body should be given. Relaxation of mind to release tension, stress, fear and worry is important to increase inner concentration and greater awareness. Positive thinking, patience and gentleness are other principles one has to follow to bring greater inner awareness about thought, speech and action to succeed in life.

However this duration can be shortened if it is done under expert instructor who himself should be down to earth, has attained enlightenment with universal cosmic consciousness and can warn his student indulging in any kind of adventures to refrain from it. Self realization is not a point but a process which connects us with timeless eternity where there is pure joy and an experience of nothingness.

Mere Shyam

मैं अपने पियाको शाम बना, हर पल उसकी राधा बन जाऊ,
नैनोसे जब वो मुझको छुए, पलमे हीं सदीयां जी आऊं.

मैं अपने पियाको हीर बना, हर पल उसका रान्झा बन जाऊ,
पल पल जब प्यारमे वो तड्पे, हर पल उसकी तड्पन बन जाऊ.

मैं अपने पियाको दीप बना, इक प्रेम पतंगा मै बन जाऊ,
जब हसके वो रोशनी बिखरे, चुपकेसे मैं उसमे जल जाऊ,

मैं अपने पियाको फूल बना, खुशबुकी तरहा उसमे बस जाऊ,
उसकॆ मुखकी शोभा बनकर, जिवनके लिये दासी बन जाऊ,

मैं अपने पियाको कलम बना, हर प्रेमका मैं अनुभव कर पाऊ,
हर सांसपे उसका नाम लिखकर, राधाकी तरहा अमर बन जाऊ,

LEARN ABOUT LAW OF ATTACHMENT AND DETACHMENT

What is “Karma”? It is a natural act or deed done through free will. Expression of free will brings into being with embodiment of soul in our body. Free will is a kind of stimulation to produce thought at conscious or subconscious level with full awareness of our ego working through our senses. Such deeds or acts create results some times positive, some times negative. This is nature’s law of Karma. Every deed carries its results, which is binding to the entity that does this act. Our life acts as platform where these acts and deeds are staged.

An act is done and the result is also there but sometimes we are happy about it because they were as per our expectations. Some times we are sad as the results are not as per our expectation. These emotions were based on awareness of results. Since we are attached to awareness of act and results, these results reflect on us. An Array of the free will, act of the deed, result of action, the awareness of result and emotions of pain and pleasure gets created due to dynamism of conscious energy. The sovereign authority, which exercises law of attachment is nothing but soul. And the entity which balances there flow of chain reaction at subtle level is the energy of the soul called conscious energy.

Not only this energy acts as dynamic medium through which free flow of energy elements of soul takes place; all of them exchange energy between each other immaterial of whether they are living or non living aspects or just abstract memory of any particular event.

Thus conscious energy plays very important role to complete the process of give and take in this world. Our dead body abandoned by soul, disintegrates into five elements chiefly responsible for creation of life and its living process. Following breakdown, they merge back into their parent elements from where they materialize. After loosing his power to act, free floating soul after leaving body, traveling through different ethereal layers, is sent to suitable place of rest where it awaits to take another birth to restart this give and take process all over again.

Once born, the soul regains power of free will and power to act. The soul starts its give and take process. Not only images but sounds with matching emotions of our past memories are transferred to the brain through neuron pathway. From there, through different plexus or charkas; they are taken to different parts of the body where they rest subtly on Meta physical body. Conscious energy flowing through motor nerves of the brain, trigger an event. First emotions are awakened and then the event takes place. These events could be associated with any aspect of life like health, education, marriage, travel, purchase of property, occurrence of diseases, romantic affairs outside marriage, recognization in society, jobs we may do, budding friends, litigation, death due to natural reasons or accidents etc.

If soul follows law of attachment so it also follows law of detachment. However it needs altogether different paradigm of awareness of not me but him. When the act is done with affirmation that this is not mine but his act and his result, conscious energy does not attaches results to the soul. Even though the act is caused through free will, the flow of energy cannot take place together through all these aspects. As all the entities cannot be linked, the flow of chain effect is broken. The result is stopped. This is law of detachment.

This holds true for those karmas or acts done with rational thoughts, perceptions and balanced emotions, which we are aware of or have done consciously with free will. But how to get rid of accumulated karma’s of past life? There are several views in different religions about how the soul can purify by getting rid of accumulated past karmas. Accumulated emotions, images in the form of past memories can be released one by one from Meta physical body immaterial of how old they are, through meditation.

Spirituality is nothing but being not only in present but to large extent it teaches us to live for every moment of life with divine joy and happiness. Meditation is nothing but attempt to be for that moment, detaching oneself from his past and future.

Alternatively there is another method by which additional karmas generated through karmic relations with father, mother, brother, sister, husband or children can be neutralized by method called breach of spiritual contract. Breaching spiritual contract frees our soul from the results of these additional karmas which we generally negotiate unintended. After breach of spiritual contract, even thought we free ourselves from additional karma, surprisingly the relationships between them become more natural and divine.

As per infallible law of responsibility, we alone are responsible for all our deeds. That is the reason what we sow, we reap. However miracle happens due to god’s direct involvement. God does not make one suffer for no reason nor does he make one happy for no reason. God is very fair and gives us exactly what we deserve.

Doing our Karma is like throwing dice on the life’s play board with eye on getting winning numbers. But mystery unfolds only when the dice is thrown. Ultimately it is the eternal time who decides whether we should be rewarded or punished.

Swadhisthana Chakra

Some times I wonder why some people are more creative and sensual than others and from where do they get this creativity. Why their minds are so bubbling with creative ideas that storm this whole world which gets mesmerized with it? The answer though simple has deep subtleties of conscious energy that works through a conjoining plexus of six nerves located just above our genital organs called sacral plexus or Swadhisthana Chakra.

Swadhisthana Chakra or sacral or pubic plexus which conjoins six nerves and whose chief element being water, the element of life, is responsible for creativity, pure knowledge, inspiration, sexual desire, expressive emotions and power of concentration. As far as body endocrine system is concerned, it is directly correlated to male spermatozoa and female ovules. It also controls the sense of taste as well as blood circulation system all over the body.

Writers write and the painters paint because they must, what they have in common is the expression of creative power. These are activities pertinent to Swadhisthana Chakra where pleasure is defined according to our karma’s. Swadhisthana Chakra is chiefly responsible for giving results of our karmic deeds. Equilibrium in Swadhisthana Chakra brings harmony between couples but disequilibrium not only causes disharmony in the couple but brings physical weaknesses like diabetes, heart diseases, lever problem. A weak Swadhisthana Chakra may manifest in chronic pelvic pain, lower back pain, bladder problem. Inability to manifest goals and fantasy without realism are signs of weak Swadhisthana Chakra.

When we say Chakra they are not just static plexuses but are very dynamic. It is the point at which physical and astral bodies are connected with each other. When a person sleeps, conscious energy of his subconscious mind loosens his astral body and projects it to any aspect of his present life.

The energy of Swadhisthana Chakra is very powerful. He who concentrates and meditates on this Chakra has no fear of water. He gets many psychic powers, intuitional knowledge and perfect control over his senses. He has full knowledge of astral entities and gets astral vision to see these entities. His carnal desires, anger, jealousy, attachment and other impure qualities automatically get dissolved.

When I was studying astrology, the first house of the astrological chart represents our body and the seventh house of the chart represents his life partner, his employer, his second son and for traders his creditors. There are several other aspects that are represented by seventh house but what I would like to emphasize is our Swadhisthana Chakra is itself representative of seventh house which can predict many aspects of the life.

Conjugal marital relationships between two partners are karmic but how we behave in them is by individual choice. Sexual preferences are biological need of the body but how we exercise them is our choice. Anybody can develop spiritual capabilities beyond what is available to them through karma. Again developing this ability is a matter of choice.

LEARN HOW TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE BELIEFS

We encounter or come across different events. These events bring new experiences. They also educate us with knowledge to derive meaning from these events. Can we interpret these events? The meaning they carry and the lesson we should derive is left to us. Nobody can force us to deduce or derive the meaning we should carry.

If the meaning derived is negative then it leaves negative impact on our mind. It weakens us or challenges our natural defense system, limiting our success is whatever thing we do.

What is required at that time is to do serious introspection of our belief system. We have to check all our positive and negative belief one by one because that is the time we need to change them. If we observe positive belief which needs strengthening then we have to strengthen them or if we have negative belief then we have to question the reference experience. The references on which they stand or the certainty associated with it, starts crumbling thus shaking them from their core. Ultimately if we start questioning their existence in our life, they become weak.

Possibly it takes longer time for those beliefs which have longer permanence in our subconscious mind or if we have taken beliefs from other references, then due to generalization they become pervasive. Still more there could be beliefs which might have turned personal due to our helplessness to remove them.

If we believe that this is temporary problem and would pass soon then sooner or later, our efforts starts bearing fruits and over a period of time, we become achievers. Whatever type or belief pattern these negative beliefs we carry in our subconscious mind, the only way to conquer them is to question their validity in our lives.

1) If these beliefs don’t give any financial gain then what is the point in
carrying them?
2) If these beliefs don’t give any confidence then what is the point in
following them?
3) If we don’t give up these negative beliefs then the loss will be heavy.
4) Will these negative beliefs bring emotional stability in my life?
5) If I don’t give up these beliefs then it might bring tremendous loss to my
loved ones.

There are also ways to strengthen positive beliefs or they need to be strengthened because these beliefs keep power to change our lives.

Once the change occurs or if we notice change in our behavior pattern, then it is important to reinforce the change which should last life long. Unless we take precautions to oversee the change, we may go back to old habits depending upon how chronic the belief is.

There are many techniques to remove old beliefs and reinforce the new beliefs. Many of us might not be aware of these techniques which may include self hypnotism, Auto suggestion, and psychological therapies. Some of the therapies take longer time and some take very short time. Each therapy needs skill to understand our own mind and values and beliefs attached to it. What is important is whatever time we devote to understand and analyze them; the change they bring in should upgrade our lives and should empower us with unlimited success and happiness.

FIVE STEPS TO CHANGE DESTINY

Can any one believe that the true shapers of our lives are our beliefs which not only control our lives but create or destroy them? Certain events occur in our lives on which we do not have control because they are part of our destiny. For example it is our destiny that we are born in a particular family or country.

What exactly is belief? It is only just a thought or an idea where feeling of sureness is associated. This feeling of sureness comes from our past experiences or references which make a distinction between idea and belief. This certainty comes from the knowledge which has access to the answers. These experiences and references act like foundation and can bring change to all kind of possibilities.

Experiences and references are foundations to our beliefs. If we have enough reference experiences then we easily develop the belief. If they are backed up by our own experience then we start treating them as reality. Some of these beliefs come through imagination but as these beliefs lack reference experiences, we may not feel that strong to these beliefs. Depending upon how we adopt, these beliefs leave positive and negative impact on our lives.

These beliefs have power to keep away pain or bring more pain because holdings these beliefs are not important but its interpretations are more important. We have to adopt methodology to interpret them. Interpreting these beliefs involves close observation of whether beliefs allow us to use our best of our energy or they weaken us from within. Since they are based on past experiences, there are some limitations in using them to make further decisions. Hence it is quite possible that we may treat these beliefs as reality. If this happens our life might lead to stagnation as they may not allow using our virtues to its fullest.

Every event that we pass through offers unique experience. Generalizing beliefs is nothing but asking our conscious mind to hand over the control to our sub-conscious mind where all actions done repeatedly are controlled. We tend to make generalization about what we learn from these experiences. These generalized beliefs though simplify our lives, our decisions making power becomes defective and faulty. They are prone to go wrong and if this happens then the experience becomes agonizing. So we have to check our beliefs and have to avoid making generalization because they carry emotions like happiness and sorrow through our lives.

Beliefs are classified into three categories depending upon the emotional force attached like opinions or views, beliefs and convictions. View is something we feel sure about where surety is for a brief period because it can be easily changed. Beliefs carry more certainty as we are emotionally close and have strong references foundation. Sense of certainty is more in belief. Conviction doesn’t carry confidence but it carries high degree of commitment and dedication and passion to the idea. Holding conviction is sometimes dangerous as we do not look at the likelihood of inaccuracy. Such rigidity ultimately put us to long term failure. But the positive side of the conviction is they empower us to work passionately towards our goal. If one has to create mastery into any area of work, we have to boost belief to the level of conviction.

If I have to create convictions then there are five steps we should follow. 1) Create the basic belief. 2) Reinforce the belief with new and more powerful reference. 3) Find a bigger event or create one. 4) Ask question to bring about emotional intensity. 5) Take action which will strengthen our commitment and dedication to the level of conviction.

Let us look at them through the third eye. Beliefs are like co-travelers in our lives. Let them be part of our lives but let us not hold them to simplify our lives. Once they enrich our lives let us release them from our consciousness or help people with empowering thoughts to create their lives.

How to get success in life

There are two characteristics which bring inadequacies in our lives. First is self Doubt and second is restricted awareness of our ability to do things in lives.

The inadequacies come in our lives due to lack of desire to lift ourselves, our condition in life. The moment we become conscious of so many things in our life, we have to keep ourselves saying that I have to lift myself, I must lift my financial status and I will lift my financial status.

If someone asks me if I face shortfalls and limitations of success in life, I just say that is part of my destiny. I sure face inadequacies when I see people flaunting money in driving in fast cars, owning and living in high rise building where only rich people stay. I certainly envy them but does it solve my problem? It doesn’t solve in fact it starts amassing pessimism in our minds.

We do so many things in our life when we are forced by conditions to do. We decide only when circumstances get created for that moment. We wait for circumstances take charge of the situation and impose virtual outcome, which some times go against our wishes.

However to improve chances of success in life, the most simple method is to focus on what are the inadequacies which compel us to compromise with situation. Well everyone will point it to wealth as the thing most missed by them. But I would say, it is skill or specialized knowledge that brings wealth is most missed by us.

The search doesn’t end with skill or knowledge that we are short of but how to get the skill and attitude is more important. Last but not the least, how much time we are ready to invest to get skill is more important. Generally it is seen that we are always in a hurry so we always think on a short term basis. Here is what we make the mistake.

Normally when the object is set like getting a skill and knowledge, it is always better to think on long term basis. Because grasping capacity of each individual is of different level. Some may grasp early but most of us take longer time to grasp. Grasping power is directly related to our interest and commitment we have to the cause or reason. The more we relate to ourselves to the cause, the more we generate commitment. Here the cause or the reason is removing inadequacies from our lives. So the more the commitment to remove inadequacies the more we get focused and the more the focus the more we are ready to think on longer terms. This brings consistency in our thinking, which ultimately removes chance attitude. Such person is destined to remove all his inadequacies not only from his life but from the social surroundings in which they live.
