Letâs take the second question first, âHow useful it is to live life?ârnNot at all, provided you want to live a happy and peaceful life. This is a fact! If we believe, jealousy and greed are useful to live life, such wrong understanding would only boost these weaknesses further. Our consciousness will always be drawn into it, and one day, would drown us character-wise. Therefore, to see a fault as a fault, and have the awareness of the damage that the fault can cause, i

Enlightened beings are never disturbed by the chattering mind. They are completely detached from the effects of the mind and the body. In fact, enlightened beings are not bothered by any aspect related to mind and body. This is because they are enlightened Souls and hence can see things as they are! To understand this further, let us look at how Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, the enlightened being, dealt with his mind. rnThe mind of an enlightened being rnWhile we are bound by our

We tend to live with an illusion of the separateness of our individual being from all others. We treat the physical body as a distinct, self-standing unit that is free and independent, has its own integrity and is essentially isolated in its separateness. This however is not quite the actuality of our situation.
A frequently mentioned method in the practice of the integral yoga is the separation of the Witness Consciousness from the Nature (Purusha and Prakriti). This separation allows the seeker to recognise the surface consciousness, the play of body, life and mind based in the ego-sense as separate from the deeper true physical, vital and mental beings which are actually not limited by the ego-frame and are thus in contact with and participate in the powers of the larger planes for each level of consciousness of which they are a part.
We frequently allow our mental process and the limitations of language to create confusion within ourselves. The mind’s primary capacities involve fragmentation and classification; thus, we identify different aspects, parts, beings, roles, events and treat them as separate and distinct from one another. By doing this we remain fixated with the actions of the exte al nature and fail to recognise the unity and oneness of the creation, and the One source and creator of all that exists to our vision as separate forms and actions.
Brahmacharya or celibacy is one of the important aspects of spiritual journey. It may not necessarily be a pre-condition for beginning the journey, but after a point, it becomes inevitable. The most simple and widespread understanding of the term celibacy is abstinence from sexual activity at all levels, that of mind, body and speech. Like with the other spiritual practices, the practice of celibacy too yields desired results only when it is accompanied by right understanding
One of the many gifts given by India to the world is yoga and meditation, which when practiced correctly, are powerful means of physical, mental and emotional growth and development. Throughout the vast expanses of the Indian subcontinent and beyond, millions of people practice some or the other form of yoga and/or meditation for spiritual advancement too. So, do we really see God through yoga and meditation? Let us explore what Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan has to say on this: â
The study of human history is one of exte alities generally. We memorize dates of important events and try to lay the responsibility for certain subsequent actions at the door of those events. To hear historians tell it, the assassination of the Archduke Ferdinand was the trigger that set off World War I. Sometimes historians will naturally capture and try to explain further causes to cataclysmic events having to do with geopolitical power plays or economic imbalances.

“All evolution is in essence a heightening of the force of consciousness in the manifest being so that it may be raised into the greater intensity of what is still unmanifest, from matter into life, from life into mind, from the mind into the spirit. It is this that must be the method of our growth from a mental into a spiritual and supramental manifestation, out of a still half-animal humanity into a divine being and a divine living.
Do you want to know the biggest science of all? Mind is where thoughts arise. Mind is nothing but one giving thoughts, thoughts and thoughts; itâs a collection of thoughts only. And we, out of ignorance, say, âI am thinkingâ. This is where the problem begins⦠And it perpetuates when we go on to say, âWhy do I get such thoughts?â and get upset. Worrying over thoughts and forcing the mind to still the thoughts does not helprnIt is pointless to worry over thoughts. I
The Soul is Pure Consciousness! rnThe Soul is Absolute consciousness. However, the prevailing experience of, âI am John (please insert your name here), this body, mind, speech, etc. are mineâ, is called body-consciousness. Body Consciousness is one phase and Body unconsciousness is another phase. And sleep also is one kind of phase, it is one kind of unconsciousness only for say 7-8 hours. But even when in an unconscious state, the pure Soul is inside the body only. When

The exte al being wants to have a stable basis by which it can understand and act in the world. The tools that support this stable basis include habit, fixed tendencies, instincts, education, memory and even the way the mental processes work, comparing new impulses of the senses to past memory to create pattern recognition and fixed lines of action. Psychologists have even concluded that neural pathways are built that, through repetition, lead the understanding down well-wo ways of understanding and acting, and which tend to solidify the life into predictable responses.
Through long habit, spiritual seekers tend to look at the question of how to attain spiritual liberation involving abandonment of the exte al life in the world. Not only spiritual seekers raise this question in some form or another. Anyone involved in aesthetic, mental, artistic, or emotional or vital pursuits eventually tries to find ways to overcome the limits and restraints of the physical, material consciousness.
In the realm of spirituality, certain concepts transcend cultural boundaries and speak to the universal longing for connection with the divine. One such concept is ASE, a term steeped in spiritual significance and profound meaning. As we embark on a journey to explore ASE from a spiritual perspective, we dive into the depths of its meaning and uncover the transformative power it holds in guiding us toward enlightenment and inner peace.

As we go through school and acquire knowledge, knowledge of facts, knowledge of ideas, knowledge of principles, knowledge of methodologies, knowledge of trained skills, we gain in our ability to act in the world and succeed in our exte al life. We learn how to employ the faculty of reasoning and we are able to classify, organize, name and assemble things and ideas in a logical step-by-step fashion. But all this knowledge does not reach to the core issues of why it is we are alive, what our role in the world is meant to be, and what the entire manifested universe is about.

Each individual is rooted primarily in one of the major component aspects of our human individuality. Some are clearly rooted in the physical and their thoughts, actions and needs are those called for by the physical being. The vast majority of people are moved by their vital being, and are moved by their sensations, emotions, desires and vital drives. A much smaller number are based in the mental range and their focus is then on conce s and issues of the mental being. There are also those who are rooted in either the psychic/soul aspect or the spiritual aspect of the bing.
When suffering comes, itâs a natural tendency to start searching for Godâs role in such destiny. rnHowever, the fact is that God has never done anything whatsoever in this world. God is neither the Creator of this world nor does He run the world. By fact, in whatever we can see and feel in this world, there is not an iota of doership of God in any of it, nor does God meddle at all in anything, no matter what our destiny is.rnSo, if God has no role in our destiny, then who
People are worried about bad karma because the one who binds bad karma is given to suffer the bad result of that karma; and the results of bad karma are never easy, it brings in great suffering and misery.

God never interferes in any of this at all. Param Pujya DadaBhagwan,an
Why does attachment make us suffer? rnScientifically, if we have an attachment for someone, this will eventually lead to abhorrence. It is because:rnWhen we are attached to someone, we naturally have expectations from that person. When that person is able to meet those expectations â we are happy with them. But if for some reason the person is unable to do so, it upsets us; and we get angry and annoyed with them. rn rnThe intensity of our emotions is related to the level of
Itâs Indeed A Crime To Kill Any Living BeingrnEven using insecticides and repellants on bugs, insects, cockroaches, etc. is nothing less than a crime. Everything that one experiences in his present life is an echo of what all he did in his previous life. One would not have such echoes if he had not done such crime. It Is A Crime In The Court Of Nature!rnThe law courts and the like have been established because people are seeking justice. However, the law of Nature is very e

The Taittiriya Upanishad describes a series of planes or sheathes that are ever more subtle, with the outermost sheath being the physical being, and then the vital sheath and the mental sheath, which makes up our ordinary human existence. Each of these sheaths are connected to a plane of universal nature that has its own characteristic action, and each one has its own being that is separate from the ego-personality of the individual and which acts as the central organizing awareness for that being behind the exte al existence.
Our thoughts are related to our overall mental well being as they are the ones that determine our state of happiness or sadness!rn rnThoughts are mere projection of the mind, which acts like a radar, presenting various kinds of information based on what it feels is going to happen. This information can be negative, resulting in negative thoughts, or it could be positive, leading to positive thoughts. Meditation has been emphasized as a retreat from the constant bombardment of

There is another aspect of mind that holds the habits, instincts and trained responses in place. This is what Sri Aurobindo and the Mother call the ‘mechanical mind’. There are uses and benefits to this mind, but it is one of the most rudimentary actions of mind, which arose to provide a mechanism for survival as mind began to emerge out of material life. This aspect of mind depends on repetition and protects the individual from mistakes that arise from unanticipated circumstances.
When the vital nature is involved, which individual has the power to control its impulsions and demands and keep it focused on the higher aims of life? The vital nature is a powerful and essential component of life on earth. It animates material nature and functions through the force of desire. There is an apocryphal tale of a man who has a magic lamp that can summon a genie. When the genie appears before the man, he asks what it is the man wants and lays out the ground rules.
The normal process of mental reception brings in numerous thought-forms, based on the receptivity of the individual and the wideness of his sources of information and mental energy. For those who have not systematically developed a process for organising the mind, these thought-froms have no particular sequencing and are not necessarily reviewed for consistency as a result of serious reflection. This leads to a confused mental approach that can actually apply ideas in what area that are absolutely contradicted by the way they respond in another area.
Human beings generally have little patience or endurance. Particularly in today’s world, where we expect “immediate” gratification, we want something to get done quickly, easily and permanently. If we work on a particular issue we notice in our being, we want to see results and not have to continually revisit the same issue time and again. While we hold such expectations, they do not work out in actual fact, and this leads to frustrated expectations, and eventually recoils into despair, hopelessness and depression.
Western psychologists have identified extreme cases of what they call ‘multiple personality disorder’. This is when an individual has divergent personalities that take over the frontal being and manifest themselves in different ways, in most cases suppressing the others to such a degree that the individual does not carry active knowledge of the thoughts or acts of the leading personality at any point in time to the other parts when any of them come forward.
The happiness of the Soul is considered the greatest happiness of all because: rnIt is never followed by unhappinessrnThe bliss of the Soul is not reliant on anything or anyone external. The Soul, by its inherent nature, is a source of abundant bliss. This bliss continues to flow naturally within us upon the attainment of the Self. The main reasons behind our suffering are anger, pride, greed and deceit. Each of these is the âcauseâ because of which we experience unhappin

As human beings live primarily in the exte al consciousness on the surface of the being, their experience of existence is centred around and focused on the body, life-force and mind. They do not generally see nor recognise the true soul deep behind the surface, and they see the coming and going of the life-force in and out of the physical body as the basis of existence. When the vital force departs, they see the body die and disintegrate.
The spiritual seeker invariably hears, repeated constantly, the requirement to overcome the ego and find his true Self. The Self is one with the Divine and shares the divine consciousness, knowledge and impetus to action. The ego, which anchors the sense of a separate and distinct individuality, is an obstacle to this liberation taking place.
The soul is a portion of the Divine specifically detailed to each individual being that is created as part of the universal manifestation. The soul develops the inmost being, the psychic being, through lifetimes of experience. This psychic being grows, matures and transitions through birth and death as the aspect of the soul that accumulates the essence of experience as a basis for continued evolution of consciousness over time.
When we begin to observe ourselves, the thoughts we entertain, the emotions we express, the feelings we have and accept, the physical reactions that occur within ourselves, it soon becomes clear that we are more ‘reactive’ than ‘active’. We respond to energies, vibrations, pressures from outside ourselves. We are conditioned, educated, and manipulated through exte al stimuli, social media, advertising campaigns, and social pressures to think a certain way, to believe certain things, to respond in approved ways.

Much of the activity in our lives is governed by the force of habits, whether ingrained in the genetic and species memory as ‘instinctive’ behavior, or built into the structure and function of the anatomy and physiology of our bodies, or developed through various forms of conditioning of our perceptions, feelings, responses, vital reactions, emotions and thoughts. Every vibration in nature has a pattern which lends itself to repetition and this repetition, which we may call a vibratory rhythm, builds habits and “grooves” of response at all levels of our being.
The inner You is the Self, your real Self. It is made up of Gnan (knowledge). Gnan means light! rnIf you have light, you will not stumble in life; you will not be affected if something valuable of yours gets broken or even if something really terrible happens.

Our outside world includes the body, the na

When we observe the nerves and their role in our actions, we see that they carry vital sensations within a physical frame to connect our senses and responses to exte al pressures to the brain, and then, carry impulses back to the organs of action. Most people do not recognise the essential role of this interface between the vital and the physical in determining how we react, and then how we respond to the situations of our lives.

When a seeker has an unusual experience, when the consciousness shifts to a different standpoint, when new forms of understanding, inspiration, and response suddenly arise, there can be a feeling of intense disorientation, concern, fear or anxiety. ‘What is happening to me?’ Given the predominant mindset of the modern world, there may be conce ed about whether one is having some kind of psychological breakdown, an outbreak of madness of some sort. Family and friends may observe one acting in a new and strange way, and may even suggest psychological help or counseling.
