Looking at the ailing, hapless old man the
kid wondered how this guy could invoke any amount of fear. Sympathy could be
more apt at the present circumstance.
On cue the old man said ” Don’t look at
this worn off shell of a body that is merely an excuse for my once robust and
virile physique.’’
“ I was an active member of a mob of hot
blooded youth which did not hesitate to perpetrate any crime known to man.”

On looking at the stunned face of the kid
the old man continued ‘’ You were probably not even born when I had said
goodbye to my sanguine and excessively horrible life as a gangster and a
dacoit.”
The young boy was taken aback. The old man
ignored this and continued “ I don’t know why I am saying all this to a
stranger like you, but somehow I sincerely feel that my violent story must be
told to the generations to come.”

There was this young inquisitive lad who was
quite curious & intrigued by this old man’s plight of having countless boils
all over his body which gave him endless pain.
Luckily one afternoon the old man had been
properly medicated & was propped up on his bed. The nosy kid found it
convenient to strike up a conversation with the ailing old man.
*************
He promptly went up to that guy and
inquired him the real cause for his sorry plight.
The wise old man smiled albeit weakly.
‘’Son” he managed to mumble “ I sincerely thank lord almighty that he is
putting me through this purgatory even in this life, before I die & land up
in hell.’’

The devotee/reader will appreciate that
though a person commits some foul act knowingly or unknowingly, howsoever
carefully there are at least two witnesses to this act- one the super soul
within and the perpetrator of the act himself/herself.
************
Example: In the year 1976 a gentleman who was
around 60 even then was admitted to a hospital in a township in India, with a
strange ailment.
This man had virtually countless boils that
had gotten embedded all over his body between the wretched man’s skin &
flesh so much so that every time he moved in his bed, a few of them got smashed
thus giving birth to new boils which kept increasing in number endlessly.
***********************
The poor guy groaned & moaned all day
& night long. The doctors and nurses wrung their hands in frustration even
as they had to helplessly watch this guy going through unspeakable torment
& pain. Much as they wanted to cure the guy, they could do little.
Empathetically they prayed for his deliverance.

AND DESIRE
PRIDE
AND ANGER
COURAGE AND NEUTRALITY
WILLINGNESS AND ACCEPTANCE
REASON AND LOVE
JOY AND PEACE

Totally Spiritual
The
others are various shades of grey.
Beginning
with more material & less spiritual, at the ‘APATHY
&
GRIEF” level they progress towards
spiritualism slowly. ‘
JOY &
PEACE’
is the level where it is
more spiritual than material.
’
SHAME & GUILT’ is
totally material & ‘ENLIGHTENMENT’ is totally
spiritual.

The lower 16 vibrations in human psyche can be
conveniently clubbed into one pair each more so because the quality of each
item in each pair overlaps & compliments the other.
The first one that is enlightenment
being totally spiritual stays
separately. The other 16 are at various shades of gray with materialism and
spiritualism combined.
As the individual entity climbs up the ladder from the
bottom level of shame his/her materialism gets gradually eroded & spiritualism
begins to take over.
The pairs of qualities could be as follows:
Shame & guilt.
Apathy & grief.
Fear & desire.
Pride & Anger.
Courage & neutrality.
Willingness & Acceptance.
Reason & love.
Joy & peace.
Enlightenment.
*****************
Friday, May 24, 2019
Spiritualism
As has been shown in the list above the lowest
level of vibration is shame. Beginning from the lowest level of shame at 20,
the individual entity may if he/she so desires slowly but steadily climb up the
ladder with steadfast perseverance till he/she reaches the ultimate form of
enlightenment.
Each living entity possesses all these qualities
with one or two at the front and the others going through various levels of
dormancy.
The reader will notice that there are 17 levels in
total. Beginning at the lowest rung of shame which reeks of rank materialism,
the living entity can rise up to enlightenment which is totally spiritual.

Every living entity is subjected to the divine
& demonic natures and further the three modes of material natures that is
goodness, passion & ignorance. Thus the outlets for vibrations through the
gross body depend on the nature of each individual entity.
The various levels of vibration are as
follows:
Particulars Levels
Enlightenment 700-1000
Peace 600
Joy 540
Love 500
Reason 400
Acceptance 350
Willingness 310
Neutrality 250

As has been mentioned somewhere earlier the soul
within every living entity sends continuous vibrations to the causal body made
of intelligence.
Intelligence grasps some of these and transforms them into
ideas & relays them to the mind in the upper half of the subtle body.
Again
the mind grasps only those ideas that suits it and after chewing on them,
relays them to the senses in the lower half of the subtle body.
The vibrations
get filtered yet again in the senses level and after being saddled with inputs
from the senses, these vibrations get a final outlet through the gross body.

Undeterred by this seemingly un crossable swamp of
one’s material potpourri, a sincere devotee should patiently and with his focus
on the super soul within, persevere to wade through and ultimately reach
his/her goal diligently regardless of endless thought disturbances which may
time & again pitchfork him/her into varied moods & complexes.

A permutation & combination of myriad thoughts,
experiences, ideas, imaginations & beliefs forms a thick maze around the
pure devotional thoughts of a devotee’s mind.
These are as a result of numerous births &
deaths taken by the soul of the individual living entity. More than half of
these devious judgmental beliefs are etched into the subconscious of this
hapless devotee.

One may focus his/her mind solely on god even while
doing his/her daily chores. This way he/she will be in a permanently
transcendental position thus beginning to live in the astral world even before
getting detached from this mortal coil that is even before dying and leaving
this gross body.

Though this has to pass through a long and circuitous
route of trial and error, the sincere student of spiritualism who has a
quenchless thirst for liberation, deliverance and self realization should
sooner or later, after crossing endless hurdles end up in
Nirvikalpa Samadhi
that is a permanent thought about god even if it is at the back of his/her
mind.
According to Swami Vivekananda ‘’Arise, awake,
sleep not till the goal is reached.’’
According to him where as the common man considers
yoga as merely a physical exercise to get a robust physique actually there is
also a mental side where the perpetual love for god is termed as Bhakti yoga.

History has proved time and again that this
particular life is seldom a bed of roses. Obstacles, hindrances & setbacks
have forever been a way of life for each entity.
However the same history has insisted that one
who is steadfast in his/her devotion to god, truthful, devout and humble may
lose a few battles but certainly not the war. Despite all this he/she is sure
to win in the long run.

Some examples of mind over matter:
Guru Govind Singh the 10th guru
or spiritual teacher of the Sikhs, was seven feet tall and possessed
extraordinary physical and mental prowess. This height and build was actually
his spiritual strength. Guru Govind Singh was so physically strong that once he
shot an arrow from near a spot near the present day red fort area in New Delhi,
India. The arrow flew several kilometers till it fell near an area called RK
Puram in New Delhi. So much so that, a Gurudwara was built at that very spot
where the arrow fell.
Incidentally Guru Govind Singh left for his
heavenly abode at the age of 40 after transforming the hitherto Sikhs from a
peaceful and saintly people into a brave, courageous, ferocious and militant
community.
A monk called Sohom swami became so
extraordinarily strong and powerful that he could fight with wild tigers and
was nicknamed tiger swami. He got all this prowess by concentrating mentally on
health and strength.
Bheema Sena had to undergo several depravities as a Pandava prince in the Mahabharatha. But thanks to his spiritual strength he and his brothers could defeat the mighty Kauravas. *******************

The mind which is the upper half of the
Astral body is an extremely powerful and capable instrument. That is the very
reason that one should divert it towards spiritualism and love for god.
The mind is capable of anything be it
spiritual or material. There is nothing impossible for the mind provided it
wishes something to happen. The mind can cure the entity of everything and make
him/her perfect.

The astral entities that is permanent residents of

The spiritually inclined guys who could not achieve
self realization in this birth could be born again in a family of
transcendentalists, monks, ascetics, scholars, intellectuals, or very wealthy
people.
They could also be born in the family of scientists, musicians, artists
etc. who have a divine outlook.
The astral world is an important link in the long
chain of the living entity’s spiritual progress. Whereas the lower half
consisting of senses, connects him to the gross material level, the upper half
connects him/her to the spiritual world. Even here the not yet so evolved
entities acquire some positive talents which enable them to help the humanity
in the material world.

Spiritual Astral projection is a divine hobby. One
who is sincerely aiming towards self realization must get into its groove as
soon as possible. He/ She should make it a way of life.
Once a devotee gets into the spiritual path, even
if she/he fails to receive liberation, this path will at least make the person
a wise & nice person who will avoid unsavory company, and become self
contained & happy. For all he/she knows this person’s soul may take next
birth in some atmosphere and family, which will be conducive to the native’s
further spiritual growth.

Whether these ideas/feelings are spiritual or
material, they will at least not be sensual, carnal or demonic. This is so
because the entity has secured the guidance and protection of god through the
super soul by total and unconditional surrender and with his/her thoughts fixed
on the almighty.
**************
Saturday, May 4, 2019
Spiritualism
Guided superbly by the super soul, the soul will
make proper transmissions to the causal body where one’s intelligence resides.
This will in turn be transformed into sanctified ideas, which will percolate
down to the astral level.
The mind at the astral level will chew the cud and
masticate it properly. When this work in progress is further relayed to the
senses, they will give vent to the same through the gross body.
********************************

Though this is slightly difficult in the beginning,
if the devotee surrenders himself/herself completely to god and perpetually
endeavors to look into the universe within, and fixes his/her gaze at the super
soul inside, it would result in a most enlightening and liberating experience.

The Astral or subtle body consists of 2 levels:
The upper level consists of the mind (sixth sense)
which tries consistently to connect the living entity to the spiritual world
through the causal world of intelligence.
The lower level consists of senses namely touch,
taste, smell, hearing, and sight which try to connect the living entity to the
material impermanent world through the gross body consisting of two eyes, two
ears, one nose, one tongue, and skin.
**********************

Beyond the subtle & causal bodies which
are still on the material plane is the individual soul also known as the
spiritual spark. This sends perpetual vibrations to the causal body which in
turn grabs some according to its capability and capacity and transforms them
into ideas.
