Spiritual thinking: A lesson taught by the ocean


Avadutha says how many rivers flow into the ocean, but there is never a flood in it, not only this, even if the rivers dry up or the water recedes, it does not affect the ocean, there is no change in it, it serves as a constant. 

Its existence does not depend on the rivers and it is self-sufficient whereas those rivers merge with the ocean and acquire the vastness of the ocean and become the ocean itself.

Najiketas was tempted by King Yama in many ways but he did not succumb to any of the temptations. On that occasion, Najiketas was restless like the vast ocean. As the ocean should have a solidity in its nature, just like in the shallow waters there is constant agitation in our mind, while the waves are visible on the surface of the ocean but it is infinite, calm and deep. 

According to the same, the seeker should work tirelessly, regardless of whether he experiences pleasure or not, and when this happens, all the senses become enlightened in his form. 

Because of this knowledge the consciousness merges into the self of the soul.

How to eliminate fear!

How does fear arise?  Any thought that causes sorrow will cause fear and any action will also cause fear.  Because pleasures and pains depend on something foreign to us, there is fear depending on it.  It is necessary to develop the mindset that there is no second way to get rid of fear, is it enough to develop that mindset?  It must be firm, what must be done to make it firm?  The consciousness of oneness must come to experience. Advaita is the limitless expression of the consciousness of unity.Meditation is necessary to express and realize that advaita in life, one must approach a guru, follow the advice on the face of the guru, extroverted life and introverted sadhana without being ready for it will be of no use. For there to be fear, there must be a second object, and a second object is consciousness. "Absolute Consciousness is Brahmam" "You are that Brahmam" "This soul is Brahmam" If one meditates on the meaning of such great words, one will have the ...

Indian spirituality: law of nature

How beautiful is God's creation.  Just experience it. If the regulation of nature is violated, the end result will be the opposite.  I f you cross against the law of nature, you will have to go through the punishment of nature.  We depend upon nature's blessings to love, serve, know and experience.  Life is like a fountain flowing effortlessly according to the laws of nature.  If we work in the silence of solitude, we will realize that this I is attached to everything and affects us.  Life is to enjoy and experience the splendor of each and every natural resource, without considering anything as mine. Even if we think that it is mine on the practical level, nothing is ours on the transcendental level.

What is the real solution to life's problems?

How  beautiful is the  creation? Seas churning, Rushing rivers, Crawling creatures, Flying and  playing Birds Burning balls of  fire. A  man with an  imaginative  mind  that can  comprehend everything.  The  special senses lead  man to the boundless realm of bliss,  sometimes  turning into violent expressions of hatred and rivalry,  into a  steady  flow of  ideas Resting in God's love, one is  freed from all compation, fear, anger, tresspass,  sadness  through listening meditation practice,  when the  mind wanders  steadily  in the  higher realm, all  problems cease.
