IF WE DON'T BELIEVE IN GOD....

--BIRTH-DEATH  CAN CONTINUE FOR 
   CRORES OF CYCLES !
--NO ESCAPE FROM MAYA !
--WE WILL BE LIVING LIKE ANIMALS !
--CAN GIVE RISE TO SATANIC BEHAVIOR 
   WITHOUT MORAL FEAR !  
--SUPREME SPIRITUAL BLISS CANNOT BE   
   EXPERIENCED !


         When we face difficulties,problems it is natural for 
human mind to unburden itself by praying to GOD to 
remove difficulties,if not possible to give the strength 
to face the situation.A non believer in GOD may tell 
it to a friend & take wrong steps due to Ahankar,
absence of BHAKTI,animal behavior !
         Lt us assume that we create a robot full of 
intelligence & it tells no body has created it,it is a 
product of natural evolution, how far from truth it 
will be ! The robot can never gauge the capabilities,
depth of intelligence,creativity,knowledge of it's
creator but can it deny it has no creator ! 

         Some people want, proof through scientific 
experiments.There are so many things in life which 
cannot be explained,leave alone experiments.Our 
existence on this earth(we have not been given any 
choice!),we may be born in a rich family,poor 
family,body deformations, who is our mother & mother 
has to tell who is the father, we accept these things 
without conducting experiments.Faith only is the 
basis,for all these things.What happens to ATHMA
(soul) after body dies cannot be found out by any 
scientific experiment!It is a great challenge to control 
our own mind!
         Life of saints,their powers,miracles, leelas & 
knowledge imparted by them are the only beacon 
of light in our life to follow.Faith only is our guide to 
lead us from darkness to LIGHT !! We have to 
search & get a GOD realized GURU who shows 
the path to GOD,clears our doubts,teaches in-depth 
knowledge of the UNKNOWN, instead of telling 
we don't believe in GOD !
     

MIND IS UNIVERSE ! - MINDLESS STATE

--WHEN MIND IS THERE UNIVERSE IS SEEN !

--IN MINDLESS STATE UNIVERSE IS NOT SEEN !!

--SO WE CAN SAY 'MIND IS UNIVERSE'

--WHEN YOU LIVE AS ATHMA(SELF) AFTER MANO
    NASHA(DESTRUCTION OF MIND),UNIVERSE IS
    SEEN LIKE DAY TIME MOON !!!

                                               

GALAXY

PART OF GALAXY MILKY WAY

BLACK HOLE

SOLAR SYSTEM MONTAGE

MINDLESS STATE:

WHEN KUNDALINI(POWER IN CENTRE OF SPINAL 

CHORD at anus region) rises to SAHASRARA (top of 

brain),mindless state sets in.Then you will not see 

universe.You are in TURIA STATE as ATHMA.When 

you come back to normal, UNIVERSE is seen again ! 

Hence we can call MIND IS UNIVERSE.

WHAT HAPPENS IN MINDLESS STATE:

1)Meditation,praise of GOD,reciting names of GOD,

    pooja of GOD etc. triggers above process.

2)UNIVERSE VANISHES !

3)You are as SELF(ATHMA)

4)MUDRAS(hand gestures) like ABHAYA HASTA

    (assurance of FEARLESSNESS),AVAHANA(being

    in DIVINITY) come into play.

5)when feeling is intense,even sounds come out !

6)If duration is more deep SAMADHI STATE sets in.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER MINDLESS STATE:

1)Impact of MAYA reduced.

2)world looks like day time moon !

3)DREAM STATE gets nullified & TURIA STATE or 

   TURIATHITHA STATE("thinking I am ATHMA" also 

   vanishes ie, no impressions at all) persists.

4)If he reaches THURIATHITHA STATE,it is also called

   as VIDEHA MUKTHA STATE-he is immersed in ocean 

   of bliss and has become one with ATHMA without 

   any differentiated existence,which is the highest

   level reachable spiritually.He lives as if he has no 

   body!

5)What ever he wishes,tells, take place accordingly.

BENEFITS OF MEETING SUCH A SAINT:

1)PAPAS of visitor get cancelled.Even those who hear 

    about the saint are benefited!

2)Wishes of the visitor get fulfilled like KALPATHARU 

    VRAKSHA (wish fulfilling tree in heaven mentioned 

    in scriptures)

3)Spiritual upliftment takes place.

WHAT IS MIND ?

MANO NASHA--BE A MASTER OF MIND & KILL IT

DESTRUCTION OF MIND FOR SELF REALISATION

HOW TO PUT AN END TO ALL DOUBTS & QUESTIONS ?

                                                   

                                                           

WHAT IS MIND ?

ANALYSIS OF MIND--

 What we call 'MIND' in our normal usage is really 

'ANTHA KARANA'(INNER INSTRUMENT) which consists 
of four parts--
1) MANAS(QUESTIONING FACULTY)
2) BUDDHI(INTELLECT)
3) CHITTA(MEMORY)
4)AHANKARA(EGO)


1)MANAS: Given a situation MANAS questions various options.
     eg.should I go now or later?
     where should I go out of different places?
     which should I select costly or quality or cheap?           
2)BUDDHI: Takes the decision from the options with the help of 
   CHITTA,based on earlier experiences what is best given the 
   situation & circumstances.
3)CHITTHA: Some what similar to memory bank in a computer.
    eg.if you touch fire it burns the fingers!,
    snake may be poisonous, 
    tiger is ferocious ,
    unknown dog may bite!
4)AHANKARA: The sense of 'I',ego perception-'I'did,'I'achieved-
    is present all the time.


What is the nature of mind?

 To think this and that. In the absence of thought, there

can be no mind. On the thoughts being extinguished the mind

will remain only in name like the horn of a hare; it will vanish as

a non-entity like a barren woman’s son, or a hare’s horn, or a

flower in the sky. This is also mentioned in the Yoga Vasishta.

 Vasishta says: ‘Listen, O Rama, there is nothing to

speak of as mind. Just as the ether exists without form, so also

the mind exists as the blank insentience. It remains only in

name; it has no form. It is not outside, nor is it in the heart. Yet

like the ether, the mind though formless fills all’.

 How can this be?

 Wherever thought arises as this and that, there is the

mind.

Thought is the index of the mind. When a thought
arises mind is inferred. In the absence of thought, there can be

no mind. Therefore mind is nothing but thought. Thought is

itself mind.

 What is ‘thought’?
 ‘Thought’ is imagination. The thought-free state is

Bliss Supreme (Sivasvarupa).

HOW MIND IS SUSTAINED ?
A guru wanted to show a disciple how mind is sustained.The 
disciple was very good in reciting slokas by memory. He told 
him to go on fast.After one week guru told him to recite, he 
was able to recite with difficulty.Guru asked him to continue 
fasting for one more week.Then he asked him to recite slokas. 
disciple was not able to recollect slokas.This shows food we 
take sustains MIND.

LOCATION OF MIND:
Spiritual heart is the location of ATHMA which is on the right 
side,twofinger width from center line(point fore finger points 
on the chest telling 'I').Location of mind also is the same as 
per scriptures.Physical heart as we know, is on the left side.

MIND MAKES US THINK IT IS VIBRANT,POWERFUL &
ATHMA ONLY !
Mind by itself is jada(inactive),only by the power of ATHMA it 
makes us think the above!RAMANA has told mind is a thief in 
the garb of policeman !

MIND CREATES THE ILLUSION AS PER ONE'S 
PRARABDA KARMA & STAGE OF LIVING ! 
It is a master of illusion,depending on the stage of life 
childhood,teen,adolescence,married life,old age, the same 
world looks different depending on your stage,direction of 
thinking !

HOW MIND ACTS IN FOUR STATES OF MAN ?

1)WAKING(JAGRUTH) STATE: 

    Mind is fully active, getting feedback from five senses, 
    working internally thinking,giving command to organs what 
    to do,creating emotions,making suitable decisions, looking 
    for pleasure,satisfying hunger.love,lust etc. all the time 
    thinking of making money,safeguarding,spending it !

2)DREAM (SWAPNA) STATE:

   Even-though the five senses are not active in sleep, mind is

   projecting  fear,tragedy,happiness & your body also in the 

   action,even-though your physical body is lying on the bed,
   thus creating two of you,at the same time. It is told,unfulfilled
   desires during waking state, is projected as dreams in its 
   own weird way ! You are seeing the projection with closed 
   eyes ! how ?

3)DEEP SLEEP(SUSHUPTHI) STATE:
   Mind is not active, it is at rest.They say it is with PRANA. As
    mind is absent, this is the happiest state which we come to 
    know on waking up.When a person is able to achieve this 
    state in waking state, it is called YOGA NIDRA !
   CHARACTERISTICS OF MINDLESS STATE --
     You have no feeling that you are in a body !
     You are not aware whether you are a male or female.
     You are not aware of space ie, you are on earth or any 
     other world !
     You are not aware of religion,cast, creed etc.
     You are not aware of social status-you are rich, poor,
     power,position, profession etc.
     You are married/unmarried,you are father,mother,husband,
     wife,child,good person,bad person,holy man,saint etc.
     Even you are living or dead !,only when you get up from 
     sleep you are aware that you are living !
     You are not aware you are happy,sad,worry,peaceful etc.
     Concept of time not there-day time, night time,age of body,
     year,month,day,date etc.
     WHAT A HAPPY STATE IT IS !!!
     BY the above analysis we come to know the state of a 
     person who has achieved MANO NASHA & who is in
     TURIYA (BLISS) STATE ! 
4)TURIYA(BLISS) STATE:

    This state is applicable to YOGIES who have succeeded in 

    MANO NASHA (KILLING MIND).Mind has merged with 
    Athma or taken the form of Athma, who is in a state of 
    BLISS !! 
    Such a YOGI will NOT have DREAM STATE. In this state he 
    is Athma only & he is a liberated person--JEEVAN MUKTHA.
    All the characteristics of deep sleep ie,mindless state is
    applicable to this state !

IT CREATES ILLUSION OF HAPPINESS BY STATES
PRIYA,MODA,PRAMODA:
When you want to posses a thing-initial creation of concept(priya),
take action to posses(moda) ,actual possession(pramoda), it 
gives us illusion of happiness!  

IT BRINGS MISERY OF ATTACHMENT, LOOSING
THINGS, SICKNESS,NATURE'S CALAMITY:
It creates illusion of sadness,unhappiness,sorrow,pain,worry in 
the above circumstances through body pain(Adibhouthika),
mental worry(Adhyathmika) & pain due to calamities beyond 
our control(Adidaivika) - called THAPA TRAYAS. 

TYPE OF FOOD INFLUENCES MIND:
We know the influence of drugs & drinks on the MIND,non-veg. 
food makes a man restless,short tempered & veg. food makes
a man mild,calm,soft natured. We should always try to take 
SATHVIK food ! 

ALCOHOL,DRUGS INFLUENCE MIND RESULTING IN ADDICTION
All of us know how above items influence MIND creating illusion
of HAPPINESS,carelessness while driving resulting in 
accidents,leading to death. Innumerable families have suffered 
due to drug addiction,life becoming meaningless, financial 
crisis & loss of health,no peace of mind to addict as well as 
family members !

ONE POINTED CONCENTRATION OF MIND-'SAMADANA':
Prana yama(control of breath),OM kara(PRANAVA) & Gayathri 
Mantra have influence on MIND to calm it down, to improve 
concentration during meditation.

EXTREME VAIRAGYA(DISPASSION) ON MIND:
It opens up all knots of mind,annihilating ego completely,
making one to surrender to GOD with feeling of full freedom!

IN THE CASE OF A JNANI :
Mano laya,Mano nasha takes place by mind taking the form of 
ATHMA or merging with ATHMA.A man without mind is 
ATHMA only, ie, GOD ONLY !

DESTRUCTION OF MIND FOR SELF REALISATION

MIND IS UNIVERSE ! - MINDLESS STATE

HOW TO PUT AN END TO ALL DOUBTS & QUESTIONS ?

Did MONEY come to their rescue?

A small bullet,disease ,terrorism,accident,nature's calamity-- 
FATE can destroy the body in secs.however high his worth 
may be, it does not help!

    Let us take some cases who died in the recent past--
                                                                WORTH
                 1)MAMMAR GODDAFI--$ 100 to 200 Billion
                 2)OSAMA BIN LADEN---$ 500 Million
                 3) SADDAM HUSAIN----- $ 2 BILLION
                 4) STEEVE JOBS----------- $  7 BILLION
                 5)RAJEEV GANDHI------- Rs.1,98,000 Crores
                 6)HARSHAD MEHTHA--- Rs. 1,35,800 Crores


         You see the huge amounts of money above,did it help them          anyway?How that MONEY is earned also counts,because you cannot hide any thing from GOD! Such amounts only helps in boosting ego (head weight), but fate will take its own course.I am not telling you should not have reasonable amount of money for
simple, comfortable living.

        To test RAMAKRISHNA PARAMA HAMSA, some people put coins,news paper under his bed when he went to bath room.As soon as he sat when he returned,he said it is very hot underneath

 & got up!!He used to say when he touches money his fingers bend & become stiff !RAMANA also was not handling MONEY.His relative was the sarvadhikari(executive)of ashram.SADASHIVA BRAHMENDRA was begging & eating.

                       
                                                      
        In this context I am remembering why Alexander is called ALEXANDER THE GREAT!After capturing three fourths of earth,he had the wisdom that he is leaving this world bare handed.He told that when he dies his coffin should have two holes on the sides through which his bare hands should be put out,to be seen by the public!

Story of Alexender - The Three Wishes

There is very instructive incident involving the life of Alexander, the great Greek king.

Alexander, after conquering many kingdoms, was returning home. On the way, he fell ill and it took him to his death bed. With death staring him in his face, Alexander realized how his conquests, his great army, his sharp sword and all his wealth were of no consequence.

He now longed to reach home to see his mother's face and bid her his last adieu. But, he had to accept the fact that his sinking health would not permit Him to reach his distant homeland. So, the mighty conqueror lay prostrate and pale, helplessly waiting to breathe his last. He called his generals and said, "I will depart from this world soon; I have three wishes, please carry them out without fail." With tears flowing down their cheeks, the generals agreed to abide by their king's last wishes.

"My first desire is that," said Alexander, "My physicians alone must carry my coffin." After a pause, he continued, "Secondly, I desire that when my coffin is being carried to the grave, the path leading to the graveyard be strewn with gold, silver and precious stones which I have collected in my treasury.

"The king felt exhausted after saying this. He took a minute's rest and continued. "My third and last wish is that both my hands be kept dangling out of my coffin." The people who had gathered there wondered at the king's strange wishes. But no one dare bring the question to their lips. Alexander's favorite general kissed his hand and pressed them to his heart. "O king, we assure you that your wishes will all be fulfilled, but tell us why do you make such strange wishes?"

At this Alexander took a deep breath and said:

 "I would like the world to know of the three lessons I have just learnt. I want my physicians to carry my coffin because people should realize that no doctor can really cure anybody. They are powerless and cannot save a person from the clutches of death. So let not people take life for granted.

The second wish of strewing gold, silver and other riches on the way to the graveyard is to tell people that not even a fraction of gold will come with me. I spent all my life earning riches but cannot take anything with me. Let people realize that it is a sheer waste of time to chase wealth.

And about my third wish of having my hands dangling out of the coffin, I wish people to know that I came empty handed into this world and empty handed I go out of this world."

With these words, the king closed his eyes. Soon he let death conquer him and breathed his last. . . .

Created by MAYA of GOD -Amazing !

What MAYA cannot create ?

Low clouds over a volcano.

  Luminescence is beautiful  

 Very interesting patterns.

 I want to live here.  

  The world wakes up.

Ahhhhh...one most westerners are familiar with. 

Water at work. 

How austere! 

Winter in the Smokies. 

Now, that's a shower! 

What a Beautiful World God made

A dandelion covered with dew. 

 It's nice to have friends! 

Never go swimming alone! 

MAYA is created by thought process of ATHMA,hence it is not real! If it is real it should be seen in deep sleep state also!
