We have a strong bias in favor of accepting things that we can perceive with our physical senses, and we tend to disbelieve or discount anything that is not directly, physically available to our experience. Yet if we reflect on the totality of our life experience, it becomes clear that there are many experiences, innumerable forces and powers, that are not susceptible to direct sense perception, yet are able to be determined as real.

Putting aside the ‘allurement factor’ of having some kind of special, unusual, extraordinary type of experience, which is clearly a way to feed the ego-personality, we come to the actual benefits of such experiences. There are cases where an individual is leading a perfectly ordinary life in the world, and something extraordinary happens to him, which changes the entire future direction and focus of his life. We can look at the experience of Saul on the road to Damascus, recounted in the Bible.

We tend to be carried away by the exte al focus in the work we are doing, and thus, the presence of mind needed to remember and offer is set in the background of our awareness. If we reflect on the state of consciousness we experience when focused on some exte al work, we soon find that we can be almost totally absorbed, and in fact, that work is generally best accomplished through what may be called a “one-pointed” concentration. So how do we convert this work into karma yoga when we are not paying attention at the time of the work to the spiritual focus?

When an individual is called to the yoga of transformation, he comes with all of his strengths, weaknesses, developed and latent capacities, and habitual ways of dealing with things, as well as his familial, social, economic and educational background. These frame the starting point for the individual’s yogic practice. As he begins to shift to the standpoint of the witness of the nature, he begins to identify issues, patterns, conce s and obstacles to the practice. Some of these may be physical limitations, nervous disturbances, or emotional or mental blockages.

The vital ego is attracted to the excitement of having experiences that are unusual or powerful. It therefore wants to find ways to repeat or expand upon them once they have had such an experience. In reality, however, there is very little of long-term value in this approach. The experiences come, and they go, and the individual remains essentially unchanged, other than perhaps being distracted enough to want to chase after experiences.

A spiritual seeker identifies with his aspiration and the focus and actions that come about as a result of that aspiration. It may be acts of prayer, acts of giving, acts of consecration, acts of meditation, or dedicated works. During the moments that he is engaged in these acts, he feels like the spiritual purpose of his life is being carried out.

If we consider what the most important quality is for progress in spiritual growth, we generally come up with a number of different ideas, including devotion, strong mind or will, faith, dedication, aspiration. We rarely name ‘sincerity’ as the quality most required. Yet, the Mother stresses the importance of this generally under-rated quality. Without sincerity, all the other qualities tend to fail at some point. A disciple asks: “What is the fundamental virtue to be cultivated in order to prepare for the spiritual life?”

I find it interesting, that way back in the 70’s President Jimmy Carter was talking about people only being interested in material things— and that was the real reason for most of our challenges. I can still remember President Carter coming on TV and telling the country that they needed to stop being so materialistic and start looking inward at more important things. 40 years ago he was telling the world that we were losing our humanity. And 40 years later not much has changed, people are still fighting over material things on Black Friday.

Yoga has historically focused on liberation of the individual soul from the illusion of the outer world. The seeker is advised to see through the transitory nature of all exte al rewards, undertake practices that help him to discover his true self, and once that is done, live a life, free from the normal sense of human bondage, until such time as he can escape the cycle of rebirth entirely. The practice s focused on individual salvation. The goal is ‘other-worldly’.

The most glamorous myth going around us is that when you are really in love, you get jealous about stupid things for your partner. There are people who also opine that jealousy takes their relationship to another level as it adds the spice in their dull relationship. Jealousy leads one to realize about their sense of possessiveness for their partner.rnThis is a worldly perspective and there are many people living with this opinion. But how can something resulting in fights an

Life was a routine all along, doing mundane jobs through the day, and going to sleep, only to wake up the next day and follow the same old schedule day after day. But as the lockdown put a stop onto the routine, it gave me time to take a pause and reflect on a few questions that I asked myself: •What is the purpose of my life, rn•what is an ideal lifestyle for me,rn•what should be my immediate goals, rn•what is the significance of spiritualiy in life. Fortunately, dur

First and foremost, we should very well know that this want of ‘people should like me, people should need me’ is bound to kill; the very nature of this want is such. The earlier we understand this fact, the better it is for us and everyone around us. Now, let’s address your important question in this regard, which is ‘How do I deal with this?’rnAlmost every person in this world, right from childhood, overtly or covertly seeks attention. But why do we want to be the

When we study the functioning of the mind, we see that the essential nature is one that can receive sense perceptions, analyze, organize and then subject the objects so developed to a process of reasoning using systematic application of rules of logic. We can also see a process of recall of memory and a process of projection, extrapolation or imagination that moves the understanding from the current status and tries to appreciate probable lines of development based on our past experience and the direction, momentum and amplitude of the development we can observe.

We are yet to fully realise the impact one person’s actions have on others, especially when that one person is awakened and listening to the voice within.nnI would like to share an experience with you that brings this to lightnnMy daughter and I were in Melbourne with some friends at the later part of last year – having a great time, enjoying the sites and taking in the whole feel of cosmopolitan Melbourne.

Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, an enlightened being says, rnThe mind constantly needs nourishment. It needs pressure. It needs to remain busy. The mind could behave badly when you are alone. However, those who have acquired my Gnan remain detached and unaffected in the worldly life and experience solitude of the Self even amidst an extreme crowd. In crowds, the mind gets its food and thereby gets engrossed in its own work; and at that time, the Self is all alone dwelling in its et

As long as we are blinded by the light of the mental consciousness, we fail to recognise the greater consciousness and power of the spiritual consciousness. We look upon human existence as static. The stories and myths held by large numbers of people in the world place the human being at the top tier of consciousness, and we applaud human achievements as the summit of what is possible. While we recognise the ability to increase the power of the mind, we fail to recognise that there are greater powers yet to be revealed that lie beyond the mind.

We do not generally recognise that it is virtually impossible to hold one thought, one idea, one form of concentration, one energetic status for long periods of time. As time goes on, the balance of the Gunas changes and we lose the intensity, shift our focus to something else, and we find that the fear, the anger, the desire, the despair, or the concentration or aspiration we held earlier has attenuated or disappeared for the time being.

If we view the development of the ego through the lens of the evolution of consciousness, we can see the importance that this evolutionary step plays. The process of individuation opens up the potentiality of new, complex interactions, creative development and faster evolutionary change.

There is a considerable amount of talk about being “born again” in the modern-day Christian tradition. When we explore what is meant, it seems like it is a matter of accepting in one’s heart a certain belief set central to the denomination that espouses this idea. There does not seem to be any experiential activity required, other than an acceptance of faith in the belief system.

Western medical researchers have invested a considerable amount of time and attention on gaining an understanding of the way the brain functions, mapping the regions of the brain responsible for various types of activities, and monitoring the function of neurotransmitter chemicals and nervous system synapses in the way we perceive exte al stimuli and the way we respond to the world. For Western science, the brain represents the operation of the ‘mind’.

Lord Buddha says, rnAll sankharas are impermanent.rnWhen you perceive this with true insight,rnThen you become detached from suffering;rnThis is the path of purification. So, you are right! We are indeed not supposed to get attached to any situation and we must go with the flow of life. But how do we do that? Come, let’s understand... Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan shows the way, “Always remain in present!” How does one remain in present?rnIf you forget past, then you can rem

Seekers wonder how they can be sure that the true shift of consciousness to the divine standpoint, or even a soul-centric standpoint has occurred. The status is so ‘real’ that it permits no doubt whatsoever. When one combines this sense of reality with the way in which one reacts totally differently than the ego-personality prior to this shift, it becomes obvious and there need be no doubt whatsoever at that point.

When an individual turns his attention to the spiritual path, he may experience along the way certain doubts as to his suitability, his capacity, and his ability to attain the truth described by those who have experience along the path and who describe various steps and stages. The way is long and difficulties abound, no doubt, but only those who have reached a certain level of inner development even get a glimpse of what lies ahead.

Having now referred to the Subliminal Self in our discussion of the creation of dreams, it is necessary to describe this part of our being more thoroughly, and Sri Aurobindo takes up the question. He points out that the subliminal self is not a creation out of the inconscience, but actually it is a meeting-place for the “consciousness that emerges from below by evolution and the consciousness that has descended from above for involution.”

How does Mind evolve out of Matter? Some scientists will tell you that through random chance, chemicals and electrical forces and heat led to the development of beings capable of reflecting, thinking and contemplating deep thoughts, exploring the nature of life and the universe, etc. They do not explain how and in what manner the random elements they say are combining randomly actually arose, and how everything fits together in an interlocking, inter-related reality that includes both mathematical precision and inter-dependence to the highest degree.

It is said that for the yogic practitioner, day and night are reversed when compared to the vast majority of human beings. This statement has many possible implications that can be explored. “Day” and “Night” are representative of opposite concepts, different ways of seeing and reacting to situations, and different viewpoints as to what is the real significance and purpose of life, with all the consequences that result from these opposite viewpoints.

Yes, the Soul or the spirit does return to Earth after death, until it is surrounded by karma. rnAfter death happens, why does the Soul return to Earth? rnThe Soul is eternal, it never takes birth nor does it die.

We experience a growth of consciousness during the maturation process starting with birth and continuing as the infant becomes a school-age child, then grows into teenage years and passes through puberty and the hormonal changes that come with that period, then into young adulthood and experience of adult life, eventually as an elder who hopefully has gained some vision and reflection about life as he reflects on his experience.

In the Kena Upanishad, the various gods Agni, Vayu and Indra each are confronted by the Supreme and asked to use their utmost power to destroy what was presented before them. They each failed as their power was insufficient to meet the force of the Supreme. Indra eventually discovered that there was a higher truth than what he and the other gods were able to manifest. We see in our world today, a multitude of gods, whether they are anthropomorphized nature gods, or gods related to a particular people or belief system.

We see pattens repeating from the macro-level to the micro-level. The study of fractals shows us that there are indeed certain patterns and relationships that repeat themselves in every smaller configurations as we drill down toward the micro-level. The macrocosm and the microcosm reflect the same overarching framework of existence.

What we actively perceive and pay attention to with our waking consciousness is a very small portion of the entire pattern of energetic forces we are constantly subjected to, and which act upon us, unseen and unrecognised. Whether it is physical radiation, vital forces, or mental thought-forms, or the spiritual forces of the higher planes of consciousness, there is an energetic impact that impinges upon our being, and helps to create and influence the way we respond on the most superficial levels of the exte al consciousness.

Many people have the mistaken idea that taking up a spiritual practice is somehow due to weakness or inability to deal with the tough conditions of the outer world. They envision seekers retreating from the world and living in a monastey, cloister or ashram, being sheltered from the worst things the world can throw at them, getting regular meals and a peaceful environment to live out their lives. This is however, not the reality of spiritual practice or development.
