Random spiritual thoughts
Random spiritual thoughts
Life
This early dawn
Flashed a spark in mind
As I read a book on hermits
Oh! Why do we exist
Just for the heck of it ?
Isn't there more ...
True being alive is basic
Knowing the inner conscious core next
And becoming more aware spiritually
Focus on that state of mind
Knowledge of oneness of soul
That supreme Energy that drives
All is one and the same in all beings..
Is knowing that enough..
Delving on that furthermore and further
There will come a point
Where having merger of thoughts
Core energy source
No looking back then
As we Integrate intermingling
And assimilation of soul happens
With psychic and emotional
Fusing of oneness
Path of our Spiritual purpose realized
Cycle of life becomes complete
Going beyond birth and death
We reach the point from where
Started Journey of life and be
A pure onlooker as events unfold..
Invoking Gods - is it just a tool ?
God is the most abused word
In the world, said Osho.
Not untrue. Must also be the
Most used tool by society from
Time immemorial which are
Used to unify
People for various ends
Genuine seekers of truth
Were there all along history
God concept unified people
In large numbers and with no other
Would have been possible . .
Shouldn't the ends justify means?
Needless to say, people working
together is the goal..
For a suffering man and woman
Handle do they need to hold onto life
They Not cared for theism or atheism,
To hold onto their beliefs and keep alive
Their hopes of better tomorrows
Who can find fault and call it
Obnoxious and superstitious
To deny even this invocation
Of such a power though imaginary
Even When in dire straits
By common folks is more of a crime
Take this or leave it aside.
And exploitation happened all along
With interplay of politico religious
Forces..none can hide that too.
Zen - living in the moment is bliss
Living moment to moment is zen
Thoughtless state makes meditation
Combining the two is bliss
Pleasure seeking is natural
Zen evokes joyfulness
Without effort & at no cost
Why do we need external tool
Achieving joy internally
While drinking tea
Drink only tea with
Nothing inside mind
Is simple zen technique
Extension zen to thoughtlessness
Is a tool to bring
Blissful state of mind
Now the West mastering the art
Lagging behind is east
Where this discovery was made
Eons ago and still long
Way catching up.
Agnostic, theism and atheism
Identifying with either of these
We become part of that belief
Better not to get into that
Till we know it firsthand
Middle path is open path
Go explore and meditate upon
Truth will befall any moment
Journey is as important as the
Destination..seers would say
Before coming conclusively
Let us free ourselves from dogmas
Enjoy life sans anything
Which limit the quest
For the ultimate truth...
Consciousness
Thinking of spirituality
I reckon why what purpose
Should one have Inner
Practices - is that subjective
Clarity of thought or
For better grasp of
Universal functions
Primely it is for neither
Then why Asked myself
For having glimpses
Of Consciousness better
Is the motive.
Upanishad's Great sayings - Mahawakyas
Isha vasyam itham sarvam
God is everywhere
You are that
Tat va masi
Aham Brahmam asmi
Brahman is inside
Maya and Advaita
Truth is one subliminal
Not knowing it, is Maya
True, the universe
Air fire matter
and lives
All exist as transient
Reality is one
All pervasive and beyond
Sensory perception
Supreme energy force
Operates within and without
Knowing that is liberation
Opposite is the maya
As many perceives
Maya is not illusion
Ultimate reality is indestructible
Ever born and ever gone
Never die energy and spirit
within us and everywhere
And one and only one.
Yogic Breathing
Know many question
Need for going spiritual
Tell them all one thing
One benefit enough
For a life time
Gautama's oldest
Technique of feeling
The breathing
You get into it
No need for any weed
Hashish or anything
Life becomes like
Floating when mastered
This art and as inner flower
Blossoms going into
Additional dynamics
Is pure paradise
Here in the earth itself
Want to lose out ?
Not doing not knowing
Loss is non doer's
Like saying "love thyself"
Scream out loud
Learn it now
Before it gets too late
Reap all that is on offer
For free, of course.
Haven of spirituality - India
To bestow utmost
Respect and freedom
To seers and hermits
No other place in the
Globe does it on a scale
That India does ..
Meditation - my way
Watching the energy
Inside us is one method
Of meditation
What results do we
Get out of it?
It is not that you
See heaven or earth
Or godly things here
You become so lightheaded
Feel like dissolution into
Air here itself
When coming back into
Senses we become more
At peace with ourselves
And with the world
What else do we require?
Peace and pleasure at
The same time without
Any cost and much efforts
Then afterwards be in that
Moment always must be
Motive and becoming
Like a pleasure pot body
In perpetual motion
People who come nearer
Would caught up with that
Enjoy the company supremely.
Pain and pleasure
Creatures all are
Seekers of pleasure
all living time to make
Lives enjoyable
Impossible to realise
Pain is the other way
Comes in between
No escaping from it
Buddha calls to abolish
Desires to achieve
Again not possible
Cries humanity
Desireless life is dead life
Claims some..may be that
Primary reason for Buddhism's
Failure in this country
No no all we got it wrong
Ambethkar speaks in his
Dhamma ... shedding desires
Not for all only for monks
Like in all indic religions,
Says he. Alas, he came a bit late
Buddhists are all gone ..
Through practice and
Persistent perseverance
Yogic practice would take
US beyond physicality is
sure shot way to bliss..
Death
Mortals all of us
Know this we pretty well
Still majority of thinking
Humans not mindful of
This basic fact of life
Better be prepared for
this eventuality all the
Waking time is a kind of
Spirituality, claims Osho.
Thought about this since
My childhood days
Might that be the
Traversing influencer
Of decisions in my life
Most of sapiens afflicted
By fear of mortality and
Shedding that fear through
Grasping basics spiritually
Is the way forward
Overcoming this reality.
" I " as an individual identity
Who am I ? asks Ramana Maharshi
No individual exists says spirituality
Separateness is illusory , says all
Vedantins of the world..
Reality is otherwise and
Existence seems be the truth
Illusions are all maya
Confusing higher truths with
The practicals don't solve issues
Base energy hidden inside
In all beings and non beings alike
is the same
All are part of totality
Dissection is impossible
Advait is truth and
No "I" is the higher truths
Are all part of continuity
That is life and cosmos
Universe is one
And there is only one truth.
Bhagavat Geetha
Eighteen are the chapters
Divide that into three
Tatva masi is upanishadic
Meaning You are that
First three deals with 'You',
The individual self.
Next one is for God concept
The last one to establish
That You are that ..tatva masi.
Osho on death
Osho, the great master
Be ready and prepared
For death which is the
Ultimate fear
I thought, humans
Not really afraid of death
But rather for pain and
Suffering due to mental
Physical issues
Better for humanity to
Find the path towards
Painless life without
Suffering
Yearning for such a life
Majority would settle for
It..rather a life full of ecstasy
And joy .
