THE REALITIES OF REALISATION

Realization means to accomplish that genuinely and really exists i.e. the divine bliss-The God. There are realities to understand and to follow to accomplish to commune with God, realize the truth and attain God.

The material a scientific inventor uses, make the force of nature to make the environment of man better and comfortable whereas the one a realized spiritual master uses, the mind power to enlighten the soul as the mind power shows the man the way to inner happiness and gives him immunity to external inconveniences and disturbances, therefore the guidance and teachings of a genuine spiritual Master is inevitable and indispensable. Excessive worldly ambitions will be negative, adverse and is detrimental to spiritual advancement- behind every rose bush of pleasure, hides rattlesnake of sufferings and pain- please beware of this truth.

Self-realization means realizing your true self as the great ocean of spirit by breaking the delusion that you are” this little ego”, this human body and personality. The true basis of spirituality is not belief but an intuitive experience as “intuition” is soul’s power of knowing God, and to know what spirituality is, one must know God. Faith is different from belief. Faith is rooted in experience whereas belief is provisional faith. Do not be satisfied with daily meditations and prayers until you have found God. A donkey may carry bundles of holy books on its back, doest it mean it has become spiritual? No, on the contrary the very weight of the holy books on its back deprives it of any peace and happiness it may have had when it was carrying nothing.

The law of life is designed to teach us how to live in harmony and kindness with objective nature and with our true inner nature .Do not ever treat others unkindly, if you do so you will in turn receive only unkindness in your life and your heart will grow dry and pale. When you know that, this LAW IS and conduct yourself appropriately, to live in lasting happiness, good health and perfect harmony within us. And the law of life is “the less one lives in harmony with truth within, the more one suffers”, whereas the more one lives in harmony within the truth, will experience unceasing happiness and nothing can come his way causing barriers. Therefore learn to dwell always in the self within. Harmony is the way to love and follow this way at all times.

Now let me come to the core aspect of the subject. “TEN MAXIMS” - our Divine Master’s beautiful creation. Live by the ten maxims of Sahaj Marg given to us with the blessings and grace of our Divine Master- watch your progress and then see the difference- it will indeed be amazing. You have got to experience to believe it. It may take time and one has to wait with patience, perseverance and positive ness. Just imagine the amount of divine thoughts and vibrations have been applied to create such a wonderful way of living by our beloved and divine Master for the benefit and betterment of Abhyasis and humanity. One must read it daily without skipping and should form a habit of every day. By reading daily you keep constantly remembering the ten maxims and it becomes easier to implement into our day-to-day activities and interaction with others. The Master has made it further more easy by not insisting to adhere to the maxims in seriatim but to ones convenience but to start and complete is the idea and the at the end the result will be fabulous, marvelous and blissful. You will never know what worry and unhappiness is and will know only True Love. Do not ignore this-Ignorance is not bliss but a sin. An error born out of ignorance.

Forget about the past. The vanished lives of most men are dark with many shames. Instead anchor yourself in divine living and leave your anger and things in future will impress and change for good by making earnest spiritual efforts. It is easy to sin-but the effects of the sin, however are not easy to dismiss. The actions of the sins also can be cleansed through meditation, prayer, and right attitude and action by the divine grace of the Master. Please do not have even an iota of doubt on this. Never count your flaws and faults, instead ensure that your Love for God is deeply sincere, for God does not mind your imperfections, and he minds your indifference.

Spiritual ignorance is the greatest sin and paves way for all other sins. Every action, every thought reaps its own corresponding rewards, there fore only good actions and good thoughts should be regulated within oneself. Human sufferings is not a sign of God’s anger with mankind, it’s a sign of man’s ignorance of his divine law, the law is forever infallible in its working. As long as you enjoy living in this dreams of delusion, so long you will go for re-birth after re-birth, experiencing the pains and pleasures of the physical body and material world- Lord Krishna has described it in Bhagavad-Gita, as a great wheel, endlessly keeps turning. If you do not understand this, you will deny yourself of Self-realization. However should one earnestly desire to get out of this, will be released.

Please do always remember that freedom is your eternal destiny and God realization is your ultimate goal and whenever desires trouble your mind, think of truth and ecstasy and desires will vanish and calm down yourself in eternal relationship with the Master.

With Love and Regards.

Yours in divine friendship.
