Believe in God, or not!

Whether you believe in God, or not believe in God, both are absolutely acceptable paths of life. Yes. Because God demands neither of us. God is a presence to realize not a mandate to force upon anyone nor yourself. God is a heartfelt inner surrender, not a bootcamp of or for life. People’s desire to be right, to be deemed better among others demands such petty often violent compliance, not God. God demands no recognition from no being, he is beyond all that. Only the petty fools among us demand obedience. Truth needs no words, nor tongues nor ears. Truth is ever present and ever lasting. It’s available to all, like air, like land, like water, and like the stars. It’s for all who seek. Let no fool or fools take this away from you.

We all have seen enough violence in the name of God. Humans who demand their way as the only way will use God as their symbol for obedience to them not God. God is in freedom but so is Mans wastefulness. Your intentionality, your rigor upon yourself matters, your discipline for unquestionable unbiased truth matters. Only your disciplined mind can save you from its own perils and with even a glimmer of the ever present God he can set you free towards to the everlasting truth across this modality and beyond. You will find that inner surrender and alignment towards the eternal. I have said enough. Those who understand this will find me.

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.

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.

Ascension (part-2)

No matter the bond or relation, sometimes some people are moved aside in your life so your path forward is uninterrupted, and some are brought in so you may realize what you are meant to achieve, and fulfill your purpose. This is a difficult concept to comprehend, as the mind will keep reverting to what and who it knows or used

to, no matter the interference and toxicity that may keep occurring. This clarity of vision can only arise when one centers on god the unknown, and marches towards him or is still in his purpose for you, no matter how small or big it may be.

To surrender in quietude

When you permit me to pause and take it all in, including in the moments with those who surround me, and the majestic nature that envelops me. I can only be in prayer and there is this overwhelming emotion filling my eyes and heart with gratitude and surrender to you. I know not where I come from and where I will go, and I only know that I may never know, but in this moment I sense you, I tell my yearning desperate self that will do. All praise to my beloved unknown. May all sense you, around them and within them. May my loved ones too. All praise to the unknown

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.

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.

Seriously unlearn, then learn to See God, the Unknown

Yesterday, I experienced a wonderful moment where I felt the presence guiding me and us. But soon after, it was judged, and cast aside as mere “excitement” or temperamental emotion. It helped me pause to seek forgiveness.

We have a narrow definition of God, partly due to our conforming upbringing that fails to permit one’s self to understand the unknown every day. By narrowing the existence of God, we narrow the existence of our mind.

I cannot help but assume that we must hold so highly of ourselves that we are selective in seeing the hand of god in our daily lives. You have relegated God to monumental things like parting the sea, moving mountains, raising the dead, defeating an army and so on, that you actually don’t have a clue what the phrase “God is everywhere” actually means anymore.

If you seek God, like if you really seek God, truly seek the wisdom of God in you. You cannot close the door, shut your eyes of him readily moving you, showing you, working in you. Rather be open to his presence in your every breadth. That is my hope that every other breadth I think of him. For I feel so ashamed of all the breadths without him yet he carried me through my ignorance.

You refuse to see God moving you in your daily life, yet you pray fervently and fast weekly, refrain from actions in fear of morality, sin and so on. This is sadly immature on our part. This is partly due to the learnings from religions and social norms.

The error many make is misunderstanding rituals and prayers and prisoning their thoughts about God to only those actions and moments, this is truly a shame as I have seen great minds fall to this limitation. Puja Room or sanctuary or wall of prayer is token of our senses to thank the unknown, it is not sacred, it is our sensory celebration and thanks to God the unknown. God does not enter you through your puja room. This is the failure of holy men from the past who in desperation painted these narratives. Your 1^st puja room is your mind, then your heart, then your deeds and earth. These are your places of worship. Not rooms, walls, sanctuaries, buildings or people.

Rituals and Prayers are nothing but similar to couches, respites or run-ways for your mind to re-orient to god. They are not the sole medium to receive God. Your life, living, the way you treat others, the way you live everyday that’s how you receive God. Rituals were created to help you settle, ease into god when the days distract you. But many religions even Hinduism thanks to selfish pundits they raised their rituals higher than God that, god left them long time ago.

We hear the words god is everywhere but we don’t have a clue as to how to actually process and experience it. We see darkness created by men, and assume god doesn’t exist. Man tries very hard to push god away from places and through his deeds. We are born into a world of labeling. We label every minuet angle of change that we give unique names to the same thing. we relegate God to the big things and ignore his grace in the small things and in everything. God is on the other side of the door in your mind you actually refuse to open, in the name of labels and immature compartments of your mind.

In All of time and ancient texts, God spoke, he had conversations and interactions with the initiated. He also did miracles. Unlearn what was taught to you that he is seen only in miracles, and miracles alone. No. He is everywhere, the moment you shared with your daughter, the moment you smiled at your wife, the moment you wished your mom good health, the moment your sibling said thanks for your kindness, the moment you had a near miss, he was all there. The moment you forgot him, felt lost, felt abandoned he was still there. He is always there, he is everywhere. I seek forgiveness, I’m grateful to the unknown, the clarity removes the deepest fears. I hope I see him in you. Be well. APTTU.

Kert Gunasekaran A obedient human’s challenge is this, a sacrifice, a prayer, a commitment, a temple, a statue, a song, a chant, a ceremony, a religion are all the stepping stones invented by man to guide, train their inner compass towards the unknow, away from all the other distractions humans have invented from the occupation of mind. But it becomes a distraction when they don’t know where to go and start going in circles. Repetition is never the answer, but there will be some repetition needed for growth. There is circular movement in a spiral. But the path is a spiraling out journey not a circular one, though it feels like you are going in circles, your challenges will grow so will you. But if you keep falling into the monotony of repetition with no growth, it becomes your trap away from the unknown. You will practice sacrifice, prayer, commitment, a temple, a statue, a song, a chant, a ceremony, a religion with no avail. This becomes your trap, others may follow you or find you disciplined, even noble but that’s irrelevant. Your covenant is to grow with the unknown not climb social determinants or conformities. That is no true bearing in your inner growth. I have found rich religious fools I despise and poor wise people I embrace with affection.

The Circular movement in a Spiral

A obedient human’s challenge is this, a sacrifice, a prayer, a commitment, a temple, a statue, a song, a chant, a ceremony, a religion are all the stepping stones invented by man to guide, train their inner compass towards the unknown, and away from all the other distractions humans have invented from the occupation of mind. But they all become a distraction when they don’t know where to go and start going in circles demanding things and answers. Repetition is never the answer, but there repetition is necessary for growth.

There is circular movement in a spiral. But the path is a spiraling out journey not a circular one, though it feels like you are going in circles, your challenges will grow so will you. But if you keep falling into the monotony of repetition with no growth, it becomes your circular trap away from the unknown. You will practice sacrifice, prayer, commitment, a temple, a statue, a song, a chant, a ceremony, a religion with no avail. This becomes your trap, others may follow you or find you disciplined, even find you noble but that’s irrelevant like fools gold. Your covenant is to grow with the unknown not climb social determinants and tainted conformities. That is no true bearing in your inner growth. I have found rich religious fools I despise and poor wise people I embrace with affection.

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

Wants nothing from you

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.

I

realized it. APTTU

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 …. : )

Fail

I have failed more than a thousand times on so many things repeatedly. But I don’t know to quit nor do I want to.

Consciousness

If you strip away the body and mind, consciousness is meant to bask and be wowed in the grandness of this universe. Hence consciousness creates consciousness. Life happens.

The truth

Human condition requires an explanation; all who are sane or conscious of themselves, consciously or unconsciously seek an explanation, an explanation for everything. And all those find comfort in at least one of many prevailing explanations; religion among other things is just an artifact of this eternal condition.

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

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

Tree of Tranquility

When the mind loses its clarity
and when the thoughts sway.
when there is rage in the eyes,
and knowledge seems a waste
When the walk has no path
and the heart with no joy.
When tears start to roll
seems like no hope……
A silence around and within
left to my own
cuddling in a faith unknown

For the world is big and bigger are my wounds
Sitting under an old tree,
asking it what does it know
when it just stood there all these years,
Sprung from a seed, now in the wood, a haven for many indeed.
Some roots crawled and some did not,
the wind blew hard, but it still stood strong
seasons played yet it stood hard.
It went through it all; yet that silence in it impresses me of all
And what it shared, the music of the leaves
like a smile of God.

It saw me and many more
lessons come in many forms.

A tree what a beauty it can be.
A silence, a hush with which is says it all

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
