Spiritual Journey

Spiritual Journey

The spiritual journey is long, very long.

It starts with YOU and ends with GOD (Godliness).

As long as perseverance remains alive on the path, the result always comes, and the result is the 100% replacement of YOU with GOD.

The replacement is steady, gradual, and 100%, NO LESS.

The same world that was always a reflection of YOU so far, becomes now, a reflection of GOD.

When it reflected YOU, it was a limited, divided, and heterogeneous world filled with running and suffering based on your desires, likes, and dislikes.

When it becomes a reflection of God, it expands exponentially and becomes an infinite world that includes everything and everyone.

God’s world is homogeneous, filled with only “likes” ( no dislikes ) for everything and everyone, leading to complete
peace and tranquility.

In such world, YOU disappears, and when YOU disappears, no thoughts are needed.

The final step in the spiritual journey is Faith, faith in the unknowable (Godliness ).

Faith developed through a statue (religion) frequently remains faith in the statue, never going beyond.

Instead of uniting the whole world, such faith keeps your world limited and divided ( that’s why we see so many religion-based frictions in the world ).

Faith acquired through meditation is solid as it arises from within, in the full presence of consciousness, and consciousness never steers you wrong.

Thoughtlessness is not just thought-less ness, it is profound silence.

And silence is not just silence, silence is Godliness.

Just the way man’s nature is to think (man word came from maan ( mind in Sanskrit ), one who thinks ), Godliness’s nature is silence.

When the ego disappears, the mind has no utility left; it merges back into the silence from where it came.

Ego had problems with the world; that’s the only way it could exist, by trying to “fix” those problems.

When you realize this trick of the Ego, its futility gets revealed, and Godliness prevails with no problems and love for all.

“I AM” holds the secret of everything that spirituality stands on.

Your journey starts with “I” and ends with AM.

The realization of “I” is created by nature, and the realization of AM requires Sadhana.

“I” is gross ( as we believe we are ).

AM is subtle, a realization of AMness ( the existence ) independent of “I.”

The “I” is not just a physical “I”; it is a mixture of our physical body and the mind ( produced by our interactions with the physical world ).

Transcending “I” is transcending both aspects of “I”: the body and the mind.

What remains is the consciousness, the life, the existence ( AMness ), independent of “I”.

The life (life-giving life ) is in the center of it all, by itself, witnessing the whole interplay of Sansar without moving, just the way a non-moving axle is in the center of the wheel.

Forms come and go around the axis of this unmoving life.

AMness, the life-giving life, the very life that never dies.
