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 .
