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.

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 

The 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 

To 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 truth

Are all part of continuity 

That is life and cosmos

Universe is one 

And there is only one truth.

Bhagavat Geeta 

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

Exhorts to 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 

Rather a life full of ecstasy 

And joy.

Seeker of truth

Believer of God

You are a theist

Not believing God

You are an atheist 

Some say atheists also

Kind of believers 

As they believe in

Disbelief in the Almighty 

Indic systems or at least 

Majority of philosophy here

Do not have the God belief

At the core.

God centric Abrahamic 

Religious faiths have such Gods

And indian philosophic thoughts 

Got God only as a tool to

Final truth,  not the end in itself.

Here, we have seekers of 

Truth, not the believers..

I, myself proud being called

A true seeker

Not having an iota of belief in

Any system of belief 

Marxist, atheist, theistic or 

Anything. Confident of 

Getting my own truth.

Beyond pain and sorrow

To overcome pain and sorrow

Buddha says this

Pain or pleasure felt 

Through mind and

Getting the mind tuned 

Equally for both

Is the way forward.

Changing inner dynamics

Of mind is the answer.

Mind and consciousness 

We are our minds

And consciousness 

Beyond these no one

Exists and the trap

They are that

All of spiritually inclined 

Want to come out of it 

Both temporary and

Permanent 

Not possible says

Practical mind

Possible says the 

Spiritual mind

If we become free of both

We are deemed enlightened 

And liberated. According to 

Ancient wisdom IT is the purpose 

If life itself.

Become beyond death

Pain and sorrow and pleasure too 

What was taught by Buddha

The same to overcome suffering 

But how to achieve such a state 

Is the challenge 

The simple answer is

Anything is possible 

Through practice hardwork 

And conviction .

Consciousness - mindful state

Practice  We need

To achieve a higher state 

Let's discuss 

Be mindful of inner core

Energy All the time

Going past anna maya, mano 

Maya kosha will give access to

Spiritual body within us

Concentrating on it

At all times 

Give us a high energy 

Once attained we never

Go down and in my experience 

That would be first and foremost 

Step going beyond body-mind.

Other step We will discuss 

As we go further from here.

Focus on Breathing is elementary

For some beginners 

Tough to give focus

On spiritual body

Applying mind on

Breadth would help 

From there would come

A phase where it would be

Very spontaneous to go into 

Spiritual mode and once achieved 

We go into that state in an instant.

Where do we go from there?

Know all of us are part of 

Supreme Energy and 

We came from IT 

And we return once the time

Comes. .All dance happens 

Within "time" period allotted

We disappear after into the

Same energy form from which

We were born 

So, we were energy before 

Birth, during life and after death

When being alive the 

Feeling that we are individually 

Separate is the maya or ignorance

Which we should try to extricate 

ourselves .. Successful 

Extrication is liberation 

Yearn for it and we realize.

Why should one do meditation 

Moments there were

While meditating 

May come into the osho's

Definition of satori like

State - yes,  they do come and go

Giving us a feeling 

Life is really worth living 

This is one important 

Facet of doing the 

practices almost every day. 

Who/what is God

God is almighty 

God is omnipotent 

God is omniscient

God is all pervasive 

God is supreme energy

People call many names

To me God is totality of energy 

Which pervades through all

Universe and cosmos

Is IT a person - no

Can IT be objectified - no

Does IT control anything - no

Then, Does IT exist? 

Don't know is a more accurate 

Answer ..but I would rather say

God exists..

Why is it so?

All pervasive energy form

And the dhamma with which 

The way everything operates 

in the universe Is the proof 

of supreme force 

Operating here and the part

We are all of IT.

Is there anything beyond death?

Gurdjieff's take on spiritual practice

The making of bliss

 Is God debate necessary?

Why suffering in the world?

The dilemma 

Read Gurdjieff's bio

Had this thought ever since

I am a spiritual seekers

Well known to myself 

If not others

On one side mentally 

Being a seeker is okay

Is it really right

To be doing spiritual 

Practices , that too

Without having a proper 

Guru is the dilemma 

Haunting me 

Ever since I read

Gurdjieff's life account.

Is it just alright to let

Go life as it comes 

Or should I try to push 

Boundaries with practices

Is the question before 

And I seek answers 

Which are hard to find..

Awareness 

I understand that

Without consciousness 

I don't exist

When this awareness 

started that I don't know

Ending is not also predictable 

Between the two is life

Before and after is the mystery 

All try to dissect 

Science says there's no

Mystery, nothing before or after

Spiritual sages' say that 

"I" awareness is a myth

No before or after

It is always the same 

All is part of supreme 

Consciousness, there is

Nothing other than that

I am the one who believes 

Both conclusion is the same 

The feeling of " I " is a reflection 

Of totality and there is no other 

Reality...
