This page introduces to various ways and to look upon multiple aspects to broaden our understanding.The real understanding,which we are lacking, to which we don't give importance,and in the real sense we easily omit.Many things we deliberately don't care of,many things we miss,owing to our unconsciousness.We are not taking seriously the things which mean a lot to us.Infact the entire concept of understanding is misunderstood. Understanding is power of clear thoughts,it is intelligence.It may be defined as knowledge of the meaning,importance or cause. Understanding is ability to show insight or tolerance,it is sympathetic awareness.It is interpretation of information recieved.It may be used as to show tolerance of or sympathy,or more rightly compassion,towards other's feelings and views. Most people fail to use the understandings they have earned in past lives due to the fact that they do not discipline their conscious mind. By meditating everyday you will find that the permanent understanding that you have earned and stored from past lifetimes begins to come to the forefront of your consciousness. Remember, a disciplined mind is a receptive mind. A disciplined mind is receptive and, therefore, able to receive understandings stored in the individual's subconscious mind. This makes that person a formidable force in causing world change, growth, and expansion of consciousness. Consciousness is not an epiphenomenon; rather consciousness is the primary reality from which matter and life emerge.We have to enter,the domain of consciousness.For that identification of consciousness is necessary,as we move ahead in our life,the hold of our consciousness,slowlygets loosened,the mind takes over,now it is the dominance of our mind which starts working,one of the greatest property of our mind is self defence.At no cost our mind is going to give up,it is constantly fighting and giving arguements and pleas to defend itself.If we look closely and deeply,we know that many a times we are overacting,this very fine glimpse is of consciousness,but because it has been burried so deeply by us that we are not able to hear the voice.In front of others it is difficult to accept out fault,but is it difficult to accept in front of ourselves also,the defensive action of the mind reflects our ego,and this ego strengthens as we grow up,and how could you expect that this strong and powerful ego will vanish in a day or so.For this,we have to dig out the burried consciousness,and very carefully and alertly,nourish it feed it and help it to grow to spread it's wings. And the only method to do this is 'DHYAN' or meditation.Once entered into the vastness of meditation,you will actually come to know,what you have been listening for ages.  This is not a process of days and months,but it's a life long,continous and everlasting process.At no point of time it should be stopped,at no point is it to be neglected.It is an art of recieving,and as long as the consciousness will prevail,this process should be continued,as we don't know,when suddenly and trickily the mind will again take over. Absorption within yourself is the first step,it depends how much time you take to be absorbed.Various factors play role in deciding it,the daily day to day activity the impressions of the various activities and the state of your mind.Once the absorption is started,the awareness of selves internal environment begins.Then it is a state,where you will love to be in. I have experienced,that some specific places also play a very important role,in deciding that how early you get absorbed.These depend on the vibrations of the place where you are sitting for Sadhana.Irrespective of the state of mind, in some powerful places you quickly achieve the desired state,and vice-versa,though you may be in very healthy frame of mind but if the vibrations of the place where you are sitting are disturbing,then a lot of time is consumed in clearing up the environment.However if the devotion and your inner vibrations are strong enough,negativity due to any factor,takes a back step. One thing which i felt is very important and i have experienced it during past few months,is that we are unnecessariliy exerting our efforts to plan and make things according to our benifit and our need,and most of the time we don't succeed,and create an atmosphere full of frustation. We in some respect don't trust,believe or have faith in anybody,we even don't have faith in ourselves also.So it's time to develop faith on atleast somebody,and the best one is the ultimate.Faith on the ultimate through our innerself. Faith is developed only when we surrender,or we surrender only when we have faith,so take it as you wish,which ever way you feel is right.Once surrendered,the undue load which we are carrying,is automatically and quickely dissolved.There are numerous ways to come out from the difficult situation,but the real and foremost question is that,are we prepared to come out from that. The answer is no,a big no.Actually we don't want to come out of the difficult situations,it seems to be sounding a bit erratic,but go deep and think and feel,that the most of the time the magnitude of problem is increased,manyfolds due to our state of mind.I will give you an example,suppose a patient is having some problem,he is explained about the disease,assured about the best of the treatment,but still he doesn't show any signs to overcome the existing situation.I ask him,why he is not trying to come out from the dark hole?.He is constantly crying and making noise of it.The reason,i think is that,for the time he is in this state he is constantly,being looked after and utmost care and attention is given,which he or she may be lacking otherwise,so he affords to be in that state and wants to be there,afterall what he or she wanted,was not possible otherwise. What we are getting is more and of prime importance rather than what we will get.To start raw is the best thing to do,rather than,starting with many things in the back of mind.Sitting in sadhana with a desire,actually stops the process,or it totally deviates one from the real path.For everyday it is a new experience,and every day there is a flicker of new realisations. Application of your realisations is important,as they clearup the things in a better way.One has to be attentive,alert and aware of even the smallest activities and moves. This is watchfulness,increase the intensity of watchfulness and you will automatically be in state of constant meditation. |
