When all your wrong beliefs are fractured and you acquire the right belief that âI am a Pure Soulâ, you know the real You. This is referred to as Samyaktva. This right belief, through which you can see the Soul, is called âSamyak Darshanâ. You cannot see the Soul with your physical eyes or any of the 5 senses; you can only realize it and experience it. But how do you fracture your wrong beliefs and know the real You? Letâs understand...rnTo attain Self-Realization,

Just recently, I was sitting on a streetcar on my way home and on came someone who, letâs just say, did not have the best personal hygiene. When you use public transit, undoubtedly this happens from time to time when someone who is either homeless and/or has a strong case of mental illness is onboard. Yes, it is an uncomfortable situation for there is only so much that our sense of smell can handle. Most people remain quiet, stay in their seats or where they are standing, t
When faced with difficulties, have you ever wondered, âWhy is this happening to me? What did I ever do to deserve this suffering and pain?â A scientific understanding of the laws of karma, as propounded by Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, regarding how we bind karma, how can we become free of all karma, whether we can or we cannot really change or stop any karma, etc. will help us answer these questions: âHow do we bind Good or Bad Karma? â People call the visible actions to
A seed in the plant kingdom remains inert and non-developing until such time as it is placed in the proper conditions and pressure from outside, in the form of heat or moisture primarily, is exerted upon it. A corollary process takes place in the animal kingdom, of course. Once the encoding contained within the seed is activated by the exte al means, and assuming it is located in a suitable environment for its development, including both ambient conditions and suitable nourishment, the involved pattern manifests and takes on its pre-determined form.
The most important question in the wine industry: What constitutes wine? The truth is Wine is an alcoholic beverage made with fermented juice or grapes.

The ability to concentrate the mind allows us to function in the world in a coherent manner and to create results in whatever field the concentration takes up. Without concentration, the mind would jump from one perception, one impression, one idea to another randomly and instantaneously as new impulses arise. Everyone has had the experience of concentration, whether it be taking a test in school, or trying to excel at some skill or sport, or in taking up the study of music, art or even, reading a book and being absorbed in it.
Many people confuse aspiration with prayer. They are however, actually two different things, and while they may support one another when they align, it is not necessary that aspiration lead to prayer. Aspiration refers to the inner state of consciousness that arises from the psychic being in a spontaneous movement of directed focus on some form of growth, development or realisation. Aspiration does not require belief in a supreme deity, although, again, it may coincide with such a belief.
Taking action is one of the most important aspects of creating spiritual peace. Here are a few people down through the ages who have taken action in different ways and thus changed life on this planet… and a few ways action changes everything.

An accident avoided. An individual related the following incident. He was driving with a passenger through Yellowstone National Park in the USA some years ago during the summer season in a van late in the afte oon. He had a sense or feeling of an impending accident involving a bison, although there were no bison in sight anywhere, so he was driving extremely slowly and cautiously. A park ranger driving behind him was visibly impatient, but he did not change his driving speed. The ranger passed him and sped down the road.

For those who have the power of visualisation and who are ready and willing to concentrate in this way, there can be tremendous progress in developing the relation to the psychic being. The mind transcribes the energetic relationships of the various parts of the being into different rooms and forms of energy and action, and thus, using the power of visualisation, the seeker can enter into a specific part of the being and relate to its action by moving through the visualisation process into the appropriate room or space involved.
it is a frequent inquiry: ‘Tell us what technique we should use to reach the spiritual goal?” Many ask what specific technique Sri Aurobindo or the Mother recommends for everyone to follow. They point out that other paths of spirituality offer specific actions one must undertake to succeed. There are fixed routines of asanas, pranayama, mantras, devotional exercises that are prescribed in those paths. The route is assured and the seeker can follow the guidance and move successfully to the goal.
Every individual faces difficulties during his lifetime. They may be difficulties imposed due to exte al circumstances attendant on one’s birth, cultural or societal position, opportunities, or economic prospects. They may be difficulties that arise due to climate or natural disasters. They may also be difficulties that arise as a result of limitations of the individual or as more general manifestations of human nature as presently constituted.

We live in a dynamic, evolving universe, not one that is static and unchanging. All teachings of the past, therefore, have their limitations. In his Essays on the Gita, Sri Aurobindo reminds us that all scriptures have both a temporal element, specific to their time and their circumstances, and an ete al element which speaks to the principles or truths of existence and are not limited by immediate societal ideas or norms.
Within the framework of our mind and the experience of our vital existence, we are inculcated in the belief that everything is subject to duality, good and bad, happy and unhappy, light and dark. We cannot generally conceive of an existence that is not subject to these pairs of opposites. We believe that we cannot appreciate happiness without the experience of sadness, or that we cannot truly gain any measure of knowledge without a corresponding experience of ignorance, or that light cannot be valued unless we have gone through darkness.

When looked at from the outside, it seems that Matter came first and out of Matter arose Life and out of Life arose Mind. What is not addressed here is how material forces were able to create life and intelligence, in a seemingly random fashion. This is why some religious traditions posit that there is an exte al, all-powerful Being (God) who creates everything, since Matter, on its own, simply is not able to create something beyond itself. The New Testament of the Bible begins with an intriguing statement of “in the beginning was the Word”.

The search and desire for Knowledge is a natural human tendency.One always wants to travel from ignorance to knowledge, from darkness to light! We are always, consciously or otherwise, aspiring for growth towards becoming a better version of ourselves. And for that to happen, we tend to seek knowledge which can give us a good sense of the direction we ought to take and which can help us decide whether the direction weâve taken is right or not. However, simultaneously we als
In the Bhagavad Gita, Sri Krishna teaches Arjuna that he has the right to action, but not to attachment to the fruits of the action, i.e. the results. In our world today we are fixated on the destination, not the ‘journey’ and we measure everything by the immediate results we obtain. This process is bound to develop frustration, dissatisfaction and impatience as the type of change we seek in yoga is not something that can be measured in tangible way from day to day.
We tend to treat intuition as something amorphous and difficult to define. We want to somehow fit it into the framework of a mental process, possibly one that is very fast, but nevertheless works through the logical steps to arrive from a set of facts to a decision. At the same time, we try to undermine the power of intuition by trying to make a joke of it, such as when we laughingly refer to a “woman’s intuition” as if it is something less than, and less valuable than the logical, rational process undertaken, theoretically, by the men who are laughing. We do the power of intuition a grave inj
Our understanding of the Emotional System today is still in the Dark Ages. This has its analogy to the time when people’s understanding of our Solar System was based upon the belief that the Sun revolved around the Earth, as it certainly appears that way—however, just the reverse is true. The problem was, as long as we believed the Sun went around the Earth, we were limited as to how far we could go in the Solar System.nnWe find the same condition existing today i

rnYour question is very healthy for two reasons: 1.You are clear in your mind as to what kind of happiness you would want to have; andrn2.You have shown the initiative to look for ways to regulate i.e. intentionally cause the neurotransmitters to flow, rather than wait for such events to happen in life that can trigger these neurotransmitters. Good! So letâs begin...rnYou are looking for lasting and real happiness! And you may perhaps know that real happiness can come only
Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, an enlightened being says, âYou should not speak harshly. If someone is hurt by your words, you should tell him, 'Dear friend, I am very sorry. I made a mistake.' If it is not possible to tell him directly, then internally you must repent for having said such things.â So, we shall repeatedly remind ourselves not to utter hurtful speech. And if someone is hurt by our harsh language, we shall repent, and also tell him, âI am sorry. I will not say
When one begins to consider how the faults we find in others are those to which we ourselves are susceptible, and that we see them through the focus and affinity that we have to them, as the synchronicity of the universe brings forward to us those very things that we are naturally attracting, it becomes clear that these events become an opportunity for inner work to change oneself. By doing this, we overcome the urge to castigate others or upbraid them for the very behaviour that we ourselves remain capable of doing.
For the vast majority of individuals, the idea of confronting the vast consciousness without any disce able or identifiable form is overwhelming. Anything that is undefined or unlimited breeds discomfort and fear in our being. in the Bhagavad Gita, Arjuna is confronted with a vision of the Divine in a vast, all-powerful form, far beyond what he was prepared to handle. He begged Sri Krishna to return to his normal ‘four-armed’ form and to shower grace upon him. Few are those who can confront the larger forms of the universal creation, much less the vast, formless reality.
Intellectual development is not the same as spiritual realisation. The essence of spiritual development lies in the living experience of the truths of the spirit, not in the mental understanding of concepts. Thus, preeminence is placed on experience, not reading. The sages of the Vedic and Upanishadic times provided spiritual guidance through creation of an environment, through example, and through guidance for the thoughts, emotions, vital energies and physical development of the body, with the focus on realisation of the spiritual truths in their lives.
There are many ways to find the true self, but here are two ways that are very powerful.
To detach yourself from the ego and mind, you need a Gnani Purush, the Enlightened One. A Gnani Purush is completely free from ego and the effects of mind. The Enlightened One dwells in the realm of the Self as a pure Soul. Hence, only He can separate us from the ego and the mind. What is Ego?rnParam Pujya Dada Bhagwan, the Enlightened being, defines ego as:rnâEgo is to claim to be something you are not. One does not know who he really is and hence claims to be what he is n
Sri Aurobindo distinguishes between a “mental seeking” and a “living spiritual experience”. While those who are intellectually-minded frequently confuse ‘knowing’ with “KNOWING”, there is actually a clear distinction between the ability to read, hear, memorize and repeat back a teaching, which occurs in the mind. There is a famous proverb that one can read all the books about swimming and ‘know’ how to swim intellectually, but that does not mean one will actually be able to swim when thrown into the water.
It is much easier to see and criticise others for their ideas, behaviour or habits, than to see in oneself potentially those same issues. Jesus raised this issue in his Sermon on the Mount: “And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
Once there was a great guru who had a devotee who was an older woman. And the older woman worked hard cooking in his kitchen making lots of food for the thousands of seekers arriving at the ashram. She loved her guru with all her heart and was extremely devoted to him. And she told her guru that when she died she wanted her guru to be there with her as she made her transition.
Deep down inside all of us have noticed the world has gone crazy. We see that everything is upside down with lots of war, lots of civil unrest, people in poverty, and injustice all over the world. But you can have great peace within if you keep your spiritual practice and daily routine going… I Promise. 1 - Carve out time every single day to pray and talk to God. This is vital otherwise it’s almost impossible to find inner peace. Prayer is powerful… great things can take place with prayer.
To get the right knowledge in any sphere of life, one always needs a good teacher or a Guru who is adequately equipped to impart that knowledge and thus take us from darkness to light in the subject. A Guru-disciple relationship is one in which, after surrendering to the Guru, the disciple remains sincere to him for the rest of his life, and keeps increasing his humility towards his Guru so that he is able to abide by his instructions more and more correctly and thereby reach
Through long habit and through a process of socialisation, we desire and expect that a specific path of development can be placed in front of us to guide us systematically along a pre-determined track, and that this path is suitable for everyone. We therefore believe that our accepted form of worship, our preferred religion, our systems of governance and economic management, are the best and are suitable for everyone. This of course, has led to countless disputes and wars in human history.
When suffering and hurt ensues within, on someone wrongly accusing us, we tend to get angry. rnCome, letâs analyze how to better manage our anger in such a situation, with the help of an enlightened view of the spiritual Scientist, who has swarmed across the ocean of worldly life and knows how to get rid of all weaknesses including anger. ANGER â IN THE ENLIGHTENED VIEW ârnParam Pujya Dada Bhagwan, the Enlightened One, has defined anger as oneâs own weakness and a maj
Self-realization indeed is the simplest and the ultimate truth, for itâs regarding our own Self, the real Self, which is âSoulâ. Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, founder of Akram Vignan, the Spiritual Science, says, âThe greatest wonder of this world is the Soul. Once that is attained, everything is attained.â Why then does majority of Earthâs population believe themselves to be the body and their personality?rnIt is because they have not attained Self-realization as yet
All Souls are the same! But each person is different. And the reason why each person is different is because of their karma. What are karmas? They are the effects of oneâs past life causes. Depending on the type of karma one has sown in their previous life, in oneâs current life, the karmas unfold accordingly. rnEach personâs mind, speech and actions work according to his or her past lifeâs karma and therefore every single person is uniquely different. If you notice,

The flame of aspiration is the force that powers spiritual growth. Many people believe that the association of a fire or flame with the psychological stance is purely some kind of poetic device, without any underlying reality. Yet, human experience shows us that various modes of emotion, for instance, can create a real sense of heat or warmth in the being (or in opposite cases, a sense of cold or coolness). We speak of ‘warm-hearted’ and ‘cold-hearted’ people for example, and this is another instance where the feeling is real and palpable.
