Spiritual Growth Articles

An enlightened person is the One who has attained Self-Realization. The very experience of the Self allows one to stay in the state of Bliss! It is because our real Self is the Pure Soul and Bliss is the inherent property of the Soul. rnIn the presence of any suffering that may come up in his life, the enlightened person is able to keep it separate for he very well knows that the suffering is in this body, but ‘I am a Pure Soul that is totally separate from this body.’ Th

As the seeker begins to examine his life, he quickly finds that virtually all his thoughts, emotions, feelings and actions are based on habitual patterns, either ingrained in the human encoding as a species, or developed through socialisation in a society or civilisation, through family influence, peer influence, educational influence or through interaction through communication and media, including advertising, internet, and the subtle expectation of things built into each society.

For the physical consciousness, repetition and the building of habit is the centerpiece of harnessing physical, material nature. The “laws of physics” are essentially habits at the level of Matter that function to create an order and system in Nature that maintains the cohesion and operation of the universe. Our minds can envision other universes that operate under different “laws” and of course, as we lack complete knowledge, we recognise that over time our understanding of the “laws” of Nature will deepen and encompass the actual functionality more completely.

We identify something about ourselves that we would like to change — it could be a physical transformation we seek, or a way to address an imbalance in our feelings or emotions, or it could be a change to our mind-set to overcome ideas of weakness, failure, incapacity, etc. We then try to find a way to create this change. We may try a new diet, we may take up a new exercise routine. We may change our wardrobe, or take up travel or a course of study and self-development. We may go to therapy to heal our relationships with others.

A primary characteristic of human life on earth at this time is the power of the vital force in shaping not just our day-to-day responses to life situations, but to also impact our mental processes, such that for most people, the mind is under the control of the vital and its desires and egoistic motivations. Those who take up the challenge of the integral yoga begin to understand the subtle (and not so subtle) influence and control exerted by the vital and the way it bends the mind and will towards fulfillment of its wishes.

Here is a real life case that is amazing. A man who lives in the South who worked in law enforcement all his life all of a sudden has to retire because his doctor finds an aortic aneurysm. Read More Most of the time, when a person as an aortic aneurysm they rush them surgery. But in this case, his insurance company said they had to monitor his aneurysm for a few months… seeing if his aneurysm got bigger before going to surgery.

In the biblical story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, we find human beings innocent and acting out of their natural instincts, predilections, and their basic intelligence as human beings. They have no social setting or training to which they need to conform. They are essentially ignorant about the forces at work in the world, their potential role in adopting or furthering any of those forces or their agenda.

The more one examines the play of awareness and activity internally, the more one begins to recognise the subtle interactions that take place between the various parts of the being. There are not clear borderlines but rather influences and actions that are based primarily in one part of the being, but have characteristics from one of the other parts. As one begins to recognise this level of detail of the internal landscape, there is an increasing power of understanding and modification that comes with it.

Every life form, from the very beginning of its existence, is in pursuit of just one thing, and that is Happiness! We do things believing the particular activity will bring us happiness. However, the happiness that it brings is short lived; and often the same activity eventually ends up making us unhappy. Why so?... Let’s learn from the following story.rnOnce upon a time, there lived a king, who despite his luxurious lifestyle was neither happy nor contented. He was always

It is inevitable that as long as the human standpoint remains active, there will be periods of doubt, depression, dissatisfaction, weakness, and self-doubt. The action of the Gunas ensures there will be such periods when the enthusiasm and focus, energy and optimism depart and darkness tries to strangle the spiritual aspiration of the seeker. If the shift to the divine standpoint occurs, such events cannot occur as the seeker is liberated from the small, narrow human egoistic viewpoint which holds these types of conce s and reactions.

Much of modern-day life is centered around urban living. Most urban dwellers have little, if any, exposure to Nature on a consistent basis. They also tend to feel stressed, drained and exhausted by the lives they lead. When they head out to a natural area, they frequently feel a release of stress and an influx of new, invigorating, healing energy within a sense of peace and well-being.

The difference between an Atma Gnani- ‘One with full Knowledge of the Self’ and a Guru is immeasurable. An Atma Gnani is here for the sole purpose for you to attain liberation by acquiring the knowledge of the Self from Him. In contrast, a Guru is a guide or a teacher of a sort and exists to assist you in your development and progress in worldly and religious matters. A Guru will free you from negative deeds and guide you towards good deeds. The Guru will take you as far

We can look outward and find fleeting bits of happiness. But true bliss, true peace, true ongoing contentment can only be found within as the kundalini energy (Divine Spirit) grows and guides out life.

Most of the time we have two minds, one that says we should be doing one thing and another that says we are doing this or that. Thus we have a contradiction going on. True spiritual healing takes place when we have both minds on the same page. Take for instance we say and think “I should be exercising” and at the same time we have another part of us says “I don’t want to exercise” and thus we have a contradiction. Truth, love, and peace are the three things that set us free. Yet when we don’t have truth within because we have contradictions taking place it’s impossible to have peace.

Here is another simple way to have great health… that most people can do to take control of their health. I walk 7 to 8 miles daily… it’s good for the back, it’s good for our mood, it’s good for our heart, good for our lymphatic system, and it also keeps away disease in general, and it keeps us healthy and looking great. Along with my diet and my exercises program, anyone can take control of their health and feel great and be extremely healthy like me. — I Promise! - See Video Link — Remember to talk with your doctor before you start walking for long periods of time.

How do we distinguish what is an actual spiritual experience? We have an inherent bias towards believing and accepting perceptions and reactions to outer stimuli, the objects of the senses, and the reactions that arise inwardly from those stimuli. When it comes to an inner feeling or experience, how can we know it is “real” and what it signifies? In some cases, inner feelings actually are validated through exte al factual circumstances or events, and then we can appreciate that there must have been something that we can objectively point to.

There is a vast difference between a mental acknowledgement of a concept or idea, and the actual realisation that underlies that concept. It is not an infrequent occurrence for a spiritual aspirant to hold a mental belief that is, nevertheless, not a full realisation. Spiritual realisation is not an “idea” but a palpable experience that is what Sri Aurobindo calls a ‘knowledge by identity’. When Peace is mentioned, it is not some theoretical status but an actual overwhelming sense of peace that fills the being.

It is a universal human experience that the vital force in the being is either extremely reactive to situations, particularly when it has a desire or craving to fulfill, or, if not given its desire, it can sulk or withdraw its energy and the being goes into a state of torpor or indolence, unwilling or unable to do anything productive, and in most cases, wasting time with distractions and various forms of mindless activity or entertainment.

When a fruit tree grows tall and bears lots of fruit everyone is attracted to that tree. Animals, birds, the bees, and ants enjoy the fruits, and thus the seeds are carried far and wide, and the tree multiplies itself a thousand times. But when a disease starts eating away at the roots of the tree, it may bear fruit for a short while and attract many who enjoy the fruits. But soon the leaves turn yellow and the fruit drops to the ground… and thus all the animals leave.

“Studies Show This is Directly Related to Your Degree of True Happiness” How much of the time can you be your true self with everyone around you… the real you? This is a powerful question. Researchers have found that the more we can be our true selves the happier we are… and I don’t think it takes a rocket scientist to figure that out. But most people are not being true to themselves.

Today I am 62 years old, and I have to say I don’t feel 62, I feel 35 or so. But in many ways I feel even better tha I did when I was 35. And in general 2015 became even easier for me, perhaps with age some wisdom does accumulate, thus all the past is released. Also focusing on only two things which are my passions— writing and healing has helped in innumerable ways.

Do you know when is one really said to be alone?...rnWhen one thinks only about one’s own self! rnWhen we think only about our self, when we live only for our self, we cannot see anyone else other than our own self. And therefore, no matter how many people are along with us, but we are actually alone only. On the other hand, when we think about others, when we think for others, it doesn’t matter even if not a single person is seen to be standing with us; for we are still

In many religious traditions it is customary to expect the dedicated aspirant to forego not only sexual relations, but also worldly entanglements. In the Catholic religious tradition, nuns are considered to be ‘brides of Christ’ and as such, do not enter into the state of marriage. In the Hindu tradition, there is a phase in the life-cycle that is encouraged as one of leaving behind worldly attachments and taking up ‘life in the forest’, in other words, a dedicated spiritual seeking without involvement with the relations of the world in the normal sense.

Umrah in Ramadan is equivalent to Hajj Performing Hajj and Umrah are different things and have their own significance in Islam. Performing Umrah in Ramadan means that the Sawab and blessings would be equivalent to Hajj and that does not mean that you have performed Hajj. The benefits of Umrah in Ramadan become doubled due to unlimited benedictions showered by Allah Almighty. Narrated Ata: I heard Ibn `Abbas saying, "Allah's Messenger (ï·º) asked an Ansari woman (Ibn `Abbas na

The inner life-force behind any action is more important than the outer form which it takes. Japa and Mantra can become habitual and repetitive, and if that happens, the outer shelf remains, but there is nothing alive within. Such japa sadhana has little value. The living energy needed is either the mental focus and engagement or the emotional/vital support for the activity so that it is something that goes beyond mere droning repetition.

There are a number of ways that a teacher, or Guru, impacts the student or disciple. To the extent there is a method or science involved, that science can be described, organised and taught to the disciple. We see this frequently in the sciences of Hatha Yoga and Raja Yoga, as the teacher takes the disciple through very specific processes in order to train the body, the nervous being and the mind to achieve the intended results. In terms of spiritual growth, however, acquiring a teaching is not fully sufficient.

In order to both observe and manage the actions and reactions of the mind, life and body, it is necessary to achieve a standpoint outside of their action. Sri Aurobindo identifies the psychic being as the separate entity, what may be called the ‘soul’, as the consciousness capable of this separation and control. It is important to avoid the confusion engendered by the confused understanding of the term ‘psychic’ in the West.

‘The law of the jungle.’ ‘Dog eat dog’. ‘Survival of the fittest.’ ‘Darwinian evolution.’ These ideas illustrate the way we understand life on earth, and its requirements for survival and success in worldly life. When Jesus proclaimed ‘the meek shall inherit the earth’, he expressed an idea that until now has shown no signs of coming to pass. He asked people to ‘beat your swords into plowshares’, but we have more ‘swords’ today than ever.

People in the West who have been introduced to yoga, primarily Hatha Yoga, come to understand that there can be substantial health benefits to the practice of yoga. Meditation has also been shown to help reduce stress, aid in achieving rest and sleep, and thereby enhance health for the practitioner. With all of these known and supported benefits, we still see that in some people’s minds there is a connection between ill health and yoga.

“But We are Not Alone” Way back before the dawn of the Universe, there was one infinitesimally small bit of energy… and everything was ONE. Read More

With even a very cursory examination of the thoughts and sensations that enter our awareness, it becomes quite clear that there is a constant flow of sensations, impressions, perceptions, feelings, emotions and thoughts that seem to bombard us all the time. Our attention flits from one thing to the next instantaneously, seemingly without any control. When this becomes somewhat extreme, so that the individual can barely function in the world, Western psychologists term it ‘ADHD”, or in the general language “attention deficit disorder”.

There is a complex game called ‘chess’. The modern form of the game reputedly developed from a strategic game that appears to have originated in India in around the 6th or 7th century, although there were likely precursor forms that existed prior to that time. As a game of strategy, the object for the two players is to deploy their various game pieces, each having different basic powers of action, in order to gain control of the field and eventually conquer the opposing king. It is a game, simultaneously, consisting of offense and defense.

Many people have reported the experience of visualizing, either in deep meditation, or in what may be called a dream state, or a lucid dream state, a house, or building, or even in some cases a cave, and when one enters into that space, there are numerous passages or doors, and if one follows it up, all kinds of information and awareness is revealed.

When we are busy fulfilling our desires or ambitions, we notice that the vital energy is generally plentiful and positive, we forget about fatigue and want to carry on with exuberance. This is the normal status of the vital energy carrying out its habitual functions in human life and society. There is a ‘gusto’ to life that is palpable and which weaves itself into whatever we are doing.

When we consider the way we take in and expend energy in our lives, we start by looking at food as the source of energy. Food represents the conversion of solar energy into biological energy through the medium of photosynthesis and (for those who eat animal foods), the conversion of the plant material into animal flesh through eating by the animal. The ultimate source of energy from food is therefore the sun.

That which is all knowing, every present, and everywhere, how can it be separate from us? It’s impossible for those very same reasons. Thus THAT which is out there is also in here, in our heart, in our being, it is not separate from us. Yet we believe that we are disconnected and lost, but the reality is we are never lost if we allow ourselves to listen to that which dwells within.

“Here is a daily plan with rituals for a peaceful, harmonious, and joyous life” A lot of people drag themselves out of bed at 7AM go to the bathroom and clean up. Then drink some coffee and grab something to eat while running out the door. Then they work all day and grab fast food for lunch and head back to work. And then get off work and have some more fast food before heading home and then watching TV until 1AM. But does this process create joy?
