All seekers of truth

All seekers of the great truth have two trials to overcome. 1.Overcome unbearable mental suffering and 2.Overcome unbearable physical pain.

These two will push you to your limits, break you beyond your known limits. Consider yourself lucky if both occur simultaneously. You will at times desire ignorance over truth. Means to numb all the pain and suffering that you are experiencing.

You will be tempted and perhaps even find the average lives lived by so many around you more enjoyable, more manageable.

And yes man can start to seek from comfort, but he will not know the depth he ought to see. But when he journeys from pain, he will know. That is the test, that is the construct to understand the dichotomy of the universe, creation and destruction. Enjoy this truth, yes laugh at your pain, Mortality is greatest equalizer. Marvel at what you conquer. It is the only way to a wholesome understanding. APTTU.

Understanding is Not

“Recognizing is not Understanding, and Understanding is not Surrender.”

Let me; Recognizing the concept of god is not the same as understanding the presence of god, here we lose most people, most are unable to discern this. Religions stop many here. And next; Understanding god, god’s presence is not the same as surrendering to god. The hardest. Here we lose all including myself. All Praise to The Unknown, whom others call God.

God Repeats Until You Don’t

Have you endured the same again and again in life ? Does it feel like the cycle never ends. He is not punitive, but there are things we have to overcome with intentionality. He is infinitely patient and resourceful to allow it to occur until we overcome. Perhaps we create the repetition while he patiently awaits a different outcome. And you may rush to assume that these are about judging, understanding others, wrong, they are actually always about understanding oneself. Not of your innocence or weakness but actually of your arrogance and ignorance. Your ego will not permit you to accept this truth. And that’s the best proof for this very truth stated here. This is the biggest lesson missed by almost all of us, me included.

The World outside is not in our control, but the world within us is.

And the final lesson here is, that this world within also resides within God the Great Unknown. Therefore, this truth when fully understood, encapsulates karma, rebirth and expressions of all life. God repeats until you don’t. All Praise To The Unknown.

Suffering and Joy are same to the Soul

All souls within all beings quietly rejoice in all of life’s movements, i.e. both joy and suffering. Yes. Because it’s simply here within each to experience all things. Like all the rides in amusement parks; some are fun and some are scary, and some are thrilling, all the more they are all used and present in the park. Most end up riding all kinds of rides.

Truth is the soul sees no difference between one’s joy and suffering. It simply observes experiences the magnitude of both without interference, through its presence within the body. We are only the sensor, our soul is the true experiencer and the god the unknown is the ultimate seer or observer and the final experiencer. This is a difficult truth.

This is realized in a moment or few moments because it is temporary and cannot be permanent. But when you are lucky enough to connect with your soul, in that brief moment you will immediately realize both suffering and joy is immaterial. And there is immense gratitude for your mere existence itself. That is a truly profound realization that can only be remembered after but cannot be continually experienced or sustained.

You can through strict meditation, and in extreme states achieve that reconnection and clarity again. This cannot be taught or formulated down. It can be spoken of like this, poorly! It is a self realization that anyone can attain and it is a true state. But our existential reality is the counter weight to this duality of life and understanding perhaps for good practical reasons of life. I have lot more questions too. I know it sounds ridiculous to conclude suffering and joy are same to the soul. But that’s the learning. Be well.

The incomplete pursuit of the infinite

All may understand the finite existence of all life. Therefore, one must find peace in knowing that no finite being can embrace the infinite infinitely only finitely and thereby briefly. No one before you or after you may be able to either, for that is the setting of human existence. Only some perhaps finitely understood more than others of the infinite. One must find peace in knowing that in the endless path, pursuit of enlightenment, one’s finite life may come to pass. It is never about who found more or less, it is simply who chose the infinite path knowing that their finite existence too shall pass. It is like driving a car with limited gas on an infinite road, knowing fully well you will run out of gas soon before your destination but you knew that when you started. Enjoy the trip. APTTU.

What is the highest revelation within self ?

In the simplest set of words the revelation from knowing the Unknown (god) is the wholesome awareness of the intricate details of all creation from a cell to the universe. It is beyond words only can be experienced, can never be proved or shared. Science can help observe, but the unknown reveals what is far more beautiful than the eye can see as it’s felt by the heart, and reveled silently by one’s mind in such infinite truth. Time has no meaning in this revelation, as there is no time, what is infinite may be a finest second or a lifetime. And as a result of this what is revealed the human burden one carries from birth through death and its fog is lifted. Truth becomes to emerge of all beginnings and ends. One is set free, they are beyond peace, joy and suffering, pain if even while present cannot alter the infinite state. Their soul reenters the eternal. All praise to the Unknown. All praise to the Unknown. All praise to the Unknown. All praise to the Unknown in tears. All praise to the Unknown in surrender. All praise to the Unknown in life and death.

The Higher the pursuit the higher the temptation and…

This is as much a note to self as it is to the world. It appalls me that this simple yet profound truth is often forgotten. To those seekers, seekers of truth, the ultimate truths. Those who have already embarked or proclaim to have embarked on the journey. Let me be clear, the higher the pursuit the higher the temptation and challenges. ARE YOU ACTUALLY PREPARED FOR IT?. It is evident to me through several observations of others and self on many days, many pursue the Unknown (God) childishly, no I’m not talking about the innocence in their hearts. That must be pure like that of a child for the Unknown (God) sees us always like his child. But I’m talking about grown adults who wish to seek the Unknown (God), understand his glory but fail to understand he is seated in layers of revelation and understanding. HE is not a transactional being, but being in a journey like that of climbing a mountain. You have to ask how much and how far do you truly want to go. Many people’s unspoken answer is material and bodily comfort or wellbeing. For many this is why they pursue the Unknown (God) in the first place. Also, why the rich forget their moral duties because they completely forget god.

For others, its reading or understanding of others pursuit of the Unknown (God). Like reading a captivating novel and rejoicing in the thrill and excitement of it. This is the childish nature of many in their pursuit.

For instance, Hindus, read the Vedas or Bhagavath Gita or read the teachings of Paramananda and someone who sought vigorously, and they ignorantly think they have understood the Unknown (God). WRONG. Even worse, some subdue to present so called “swamis” and “gurus”, this is modern day outsourcing of this noble pursuit. Let me be brutally honest, Only the so-called swami’s and gurus’ pursuit if any is strengthened, not yours. In the supreme eyes you display laziness, lack of courage and perhaps desperation or fear nothing else.

Even in the great Upanishads it speaks of one’s own mind must pursue not just comes from a good teacher. In fact, it further clarifies as the following, The great all-knowing wise and enlightened Draviden Yama imparted to the Northern Prince Nachiketas the following “Knowledge of atman cannot be attained when it is taught by those who themselves lack in real understanding of it. And who therefore have no definite conviction of their own differ among themselves as to its nature and existence. Only he who has been able to perceive the self directly, through the unfoldment of his higher nature can proclaim what it actually is and his words alone carry weight.” And these so-called gurus and swami’s of today who claim or accept themselves to be that role are simply those who lack understanding. Now there were some in the past who understood who annihilated their ego and self for the pursuit of truth, I surmise remarkably they all came close to truth.

It is also same in other religions too, for instance in Christianity, In the Bible, Matthew chapter 21:12-13, “Jesus went into the temple of The Unknown (God), and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, and said unto them, It is written, Lord’s house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.” Relegating the thought of the Unknown (God) to Sundays is for sinners who want to continue sinning in my books. For all at minimum, you must start and end your day with the Unknown (God).

I truly wish to remind and impart this core message here, you have to reflect upon your pursuit of truth, light and the great Unknown (God) in the most honest and careful manner. And ask what is your pursuit and what for is your pursuit. It is a fallacy to think there is peace in the pursuit. It is an assumption without knowing your starting point. Your pursuit can start with purging your mind and body, it won’t be pretty, and there definitely won’t be peace in that process however long it takes. Perhaps peace may appear later but most certainly not anytime soon for those who are just starting. Perhaps you wish to mentally conquer death or the fear of death that drives most into daily survival, perhaps that’s what drove you to seek in the first place.

Ultimately only you can answer what is it you want? Are you willing to pursue the ultimate truth, the highest truth. If the answer is YES and trust me the answer will not be a yes on all days. Life for ordinary people desiring extraordinary things isn’t that easy. To even get to answering these very questions it may take years and several hardships to even answer the question honestly and with a level of sincere commitment.

Are you willing to pursue the highest. Know that the highest pursuit will come with the highest temptations and challenges. Why do you think there are monks, and monasteries, why do you think those men who some call gods never married, never ate, never wore achievements, never mingled in a society, never even lived in a society but ran away to nature. “They made painful decisions to take the easiest-path to get to the toughest journey” read that a few times! Now, ultimately if you have answered yes, part foolish part hopeful like me, know that you and I are already on the toughest-path. No! this is no challenge or penance; it is recognizing the needed ability and the readiness for the preparation of your heart. And one’s mind to seek the highest as one is to anticipate the highest temptations and challenges in this toughest THE journey, the ultimate pursuit, rather purpose of life. Only The Unknown (God) knows that for each of us. If your ego is in front of all this, then let me be clear you never started. All Praise to the Unknown.

Everlasting Covenant with God

Sin and suffering is born of man and his deeds, not the unknown (god). We have all heard of this but here’s the thing; Humans chose a degree of separation from god to have dominion on mother earth and the cosmos on his behalf. But humanity as a whole broke the covenant upon creation, in this new found independence. The unknown is like a primordial being for all visible and invisible that provides through the intent of creation. Like a toddler desiring to run away from loving parents unaware that there is no life giving power beyond them, humanity has taken its present path.

It’s up to a few to reinstate the covenant; restore humanity as a whole. However, there are some who indulge, and are accustomed to selfishness in the independence. Those who wish to worship the decaying flesh and pleasure, who have amassed resources in conniving ways for this very worship, be weary as they may abundantly create suffering as it is the shadow of such worship. But in yours or after yours, let there not be dismay but only discipline, caution and gratefulness.

As those who seek to restore the covenant were all inherently empowered to be custodians of this earth and all living beings, and meant to traverse the galaxies. Experience the many realms of creation in their lifetime or through the generations that come because of them. Through you and within you, as per your penance and inner alignment the unknown will always perform miracles, you must be finely attuned to see it all, for they are beautiful gestures of everyday grandeur.

If you have not witnessed such grandeur keep seeking peace from the unknown. Choose to be a river of hope not a just a selfish receptacle. As some of those miracles are meant for you, and some meant for others through you. You will know when you get there. That’s the path ahead. Shared as received, and perhaps this is the elaborate definition of hope and eternal virtue. All praise to the Unknown.

Inaction under the shadow of ignorance

I surmise, to the unknown (god), inaction under the shadow of ignorance is acceptable while the same inaction under light of awareness is unacceptable. To my brothers and sisters, be aware of what you seek. For awareness is not meant to give you alone peace but for many through you. You are actually wishing to be a passage of light and peace not a place of storage for it. If your pursuit of awareness is ultimately selfish it will always be limited and void at the core. Iterations farewell than ignorance, pursue truth and light of and from self always. All praise to the unknown.

a truth

The truth is theres more than one way to arrive at truth. For instance, through thorough objective reasoning, honest self-reflection, through a trusted teacher, and through learning ancient texts, and practicing ancient and time tested techniques. But what most won’t reveal easily is this- All truth in this world is connected, and governed by the ultimate truth of this universe. APTTU.

Needs Practice

Everything in life needs practice. Walking needs practice, sleeping needs practice, breathing needs practice. God needs practice. Not because God needs practice but You need practice of God. And practice God above all else. APTTU.

Wants nothing from you

The unknown (god) wants nothing from you, no sacrifices, no rituals, no prayers, no commitments, no temples, no statues, no songs, no chants, no ceremonies, no religious frameworks, not even a thanks. For nothing that is humanly possible can near the unknown. But simply be with the unknown, be in the unknown. Allow your heart and mind to be filled with the unknown, the trees have, the birds have, the skies have, mother earth has. Allow yourself to be filled with gratitude, grace and peace, there is guidance there, there will lie a path for you, you will not lead but be lead. I hope you experience it. You will discard you as much as you can, feel the blessing that was always waiting for you, for you doesn’t exist. And that will do. APTTU

Give me hate, I’m used to it

Give me hate, I’m used to it all my life, that I can handle. But please don’t give me kindness, for it’s unbearable, I know not how to reciprocate. Heavy is my guilt to receive such grace, when so many innocent lives depart this earth without an ounce of it. Let my tears enter the ground before my body does. It’s clear to have come without knowing and to leave without knowing that settles the ego. But in between I hope to have tried with conviction to surrender to you unknown. I realize now, nothing I ask matters, nothing I give matters and eternally grateful for everything that was given. A fools peril is life and death its preordained destiny. This fool welcomes all as he welcomes you. APTTU.

Resting emptiness

At its heaviest knowledge will feel empty. When your understanding of this world surpasses you. You will feel an inexplicable emptiness inside.

Why should i matter

Why should i matter, why should my prayer be any more than someone else’s ? why should i and mine be saved and not someone else? my life is no more significant than any other human life on this planet, in-fact no more significant than any other life on the planet, yet i hear so many tragedies so many times hence i ask, the unknown why should i matter to you, even this thought screams ego to me, forgive me im a mortal. Why have you kept me here for, am i fulfilling your command laid for me, i ask not in fear but in surrender. With a growing doubt and the confusion of my ignorance while taking in all the profound human sadness as an alert observer on earth. can i help change course of this planet, will i be a grain in the soil for a seed you plant tomorrow ? Will me to do what i’m kept to do, allow me to understand the slightest hint if humanly possible, let me see, in you there is no suffering while i’m a fool a prisoner of this body and time. And while pain may consume me, spare me a space within all this of your awareness, to reside momentarily in my random existence. APTTU. APTTU.

is always speaking

The unknown (God) is always speaking, we are not listening. In the valley of humility without ego, it’s heard comfortingly around. APTTU.

Death Is Return

Death is Return. – understanding this multidimensional meaning and then gaining acceptance of it is one of the most difficult, emotional and complex thought a human can experience in their lifetime. Its counterintuitive a runaway knowledge. Because its the deliverance of the finite from the infinite. Its the knowledge of closure, departure from thats so dearly loved and attended to. This awareness is a last principle, not a first, implying its an artifact of a conscious journey. This truth mustn’t give joy nor sorrow, but profound peace in knowing of the cycle of life, and the strip down to the nameless soul. What happens, thats later. One does not arrive to this thoughtfully alone but experientially, religion can be a bandaid logic here, for the pious it can even help heal but with misinterpretations of afterlife. Death is return, birth in every sense is Departure (later). Most find it easier to live to ignore, deny, refute and acutely suffer in the absence of this understanding. I’m no exception but…

The completeness of faith in God/Unknown?

picture:afreepic. Acknowledging poverty. thought is a luxury many dont have. ACTTU

Why many cannot come to grips with this and those few who do….well. Regarding faith, you must understand that there cannot be asks, queries and prayers in faith, as it is the complete unquestionable surrender of one’s self. And the truth is; upon that surrender outcomes and experiences become irrelevant. Yes, your suffering if there is one, will become irrelevant. This is also where a religion’s ceiling lies – when it doesn’t lend itself to help mankind surrender in faith. It is also the deepest fallacy of any religion because mankind has instrumentalized it into a transactional concept. we get into this cycle of – I pray for safety, I pray for my family’s wellbeing, I pray for a good career, etc, which the unknown is definitely not about. You See its like this – When the drop enters the ocean whether peacefully or violently once its in, “it” no longer exists, because its the ocean. what come of it or its state is an irrelevant question and discussion, that thought is a selfish deplorable and futile pursuit of self indulgence. But know this -the drop is in the ocean, the drop is now the ocean and the ocean is the drop. All Praise to the UNKNOWN.

West vs Eastern Wisdom

I see a stark yet subtle difference between Western (excluding Indigenous) and Eastern paths to self awareness,wisdom and enlightenment alike. One nurtures the reinforcement of ego, while the other simply eliminates it. This makes one path harder and the other more preferred. It’s important to note in the ultimate path, inevitably, there is no self.

All praise to …. : )

Belief

One has to believe in a Creator. If there is no creator and we were just random happenings in space and time, and that’s just a total waste of any conscious life and ever more at death.

Plan to

Dream with Dreamers, Think with Thinkers, Work with Workers, Play with Players, And Lead Like Leaders to make this World a Better Place

Come of it Realization

If life were to succumb to hard reality or to an unchangeable intellectual model where dreams are mere reflections of the deep unknown mind, then the face of reality would become a constant. But we see time and again that there is constant change, this denotes strongly the existence of a pure hidden pursuit in living beings which acts on an independent platform. This platform, converges into the trenches of hidden reality.

To unravel this structure one fundamentally needs time and the will or involvement to pursue it. Reality is rewritten with a constant image, an image too hard to completely cipher. An evolutionist might phrase it as a chaotic randomness that submits a strong pattern occasionally, however it is in this constant image that there lies the hidden pursuit of truth. An average human being dismisses or classifies reality into two subduable components of good and evil. It is not in every perception that the inner structure arises for exposure, only in those who are prone to openness and has the willingness to promote strong realizations, where there is no winning bargain or rewards -they can see the evidence of Truth or an essence that comes close to it. In a human mind impersonated by the name of truth but far more than it. Come of it Realization

God who resides in consciousness

God forgive me, forgive me for this forsaken path that I have taken this far,
Forgive me for I come to you in pain not fear
Forgive me for I am fooled by own and other
But hold me…
Bless me and keep me by your side
Let not the waste take over
Fill me with your purpose
Let me see my vision
Let me fill this earth with your glory
Allow me not to trespass
Let me be nimble to listen to you soft whisper that floats to guide
in those moments where I get lost
Give me your strength to protect the weak
Give me your glory to guide the brave
Give me your wisdom to walk the unsettled
Humble me when I don’t
Forgive me when I foolishly wander
Make me see your light in the day against the perils that sway in me
And your warmth in the night to rest me
Teach me your compassion for it’s the gift of the soul you sown
Accept me as yours
Remove me from the sin I walk in
Embrace me with your love
Allow me, Help me, Guide me to serve you
When the mind tries to go astray, Let your presence in me wake
AWAKEN ME

Foreword – Why Write and Publish ?

Why publish or blog all this, these thoughts, these “expressions of a conscious mind”? Why write and why publish them to all who can read and have means to do so ?

The reasons did have humble beginnings, as any one who keeps a journal or who wishes to reflect on days thoughts will understand and appreciate the need to write, document and reflect. It was pen and paper many months, but with advent of PC, why tinker with papyrus when you can add to things anytime from anywhere of the day.

But here it is on www, and that goes beyond reflection and can not be justified as mere “self” reflections, so there I was where I argued over and over with myself about the selfish nature of a publication of such sorts, and the neediness of oneself to be heard (or atleast be given the belief of being heard). Personally, I think some authors, bloggers, publishers, are just plain needy or self acclaimed pundits of knowledge which is nothing but a loud echo of ego and self vanity.

Now, for many it is arrogance and judgment that fuels the need to express into the burrows of this dark world, to correct, to steer and guide. No there is no guidance, if any there is only the road of burden for the already tired minds, in the hope of full liberation.

Why write and why publish? The very notion questions self-reformation. Self-reformation is absolutely 100% absolute. However it gleans on the outside world and our perception and senses to nourish its absoluteness, one may argue its relative-ness. It is a valid argument; however, it is in the essence and what it churns in one that makes it absolute. But even under those premises of “relative” absoluteness, there is no need or temptation to express outward, to write, to publish it openly. Is it honesty? Honesty has got nothing to do with it, period.

In many senses, I view and hope that may serve as a beacon of hope to those including me who battle the similar perceptions, visions, thoughts, bitter glimpses of reality every day and shore them to reason of refuting loneliness and gently resonate in their hearts that they are not alone in their thoughts and life.

A life rope to a stray, may be actually a hand to the visionary who stands apart, a rope that bolsters my hope as I reach out to you, to beach you ashore or at least to an island I habit in. The windows to a world of dreams and vision that rest on the shelves of time, fading yet echoing more than ever in space.

One of the reasons for writing is to free the most beautiful bird in us, our mind, its bound to fly eternally in this world free from peril but in the minds of many where it flutters its wing so gently to find more of its own. As a symbol of hope and the fine fabric that weaves our existence.

I like to leave it here, it is in the interest of our lives and of my kind it is written. Now I shall write and shall publish for the same!

Awaken 1:1

The knowledge of life and the scarcity of it, among it are many caught in the transformations of reality that sways between pain and joy. It is determination that exceeds them and perseverance to endure through the dark nights and hollow days that enriches the mind and body to weather the unknown. ‘God’ is an infinite word with a limited definition on mediocre minds and unknown rest in the rest. An entity to inflict control upon the prevalent randomness, a fulcrum to open the minds in to the vastness of ones potent. A subdued form to serve the wishes and desires, all in one word. The averages have taken it to poor extremities in forms and concepts, yet even within those one can attain light if one perseveres to seek, and weather his hope to attain pure consciousness. Consciousness is a power word for a powerful existence. An existence in its lighter form can transcend time and moment. In its real form can endure the eternal. Awaken 1:1
