Advanced Level of Hinduism ?

Sir,

Mind does not understand the present that is the truth. Future is also in the

past but in the form of expectaion or imagination. The past is another

thought in the present.

The mind dwells in the past thought as the past is the mind. A thought is as

passive (inert) as the colour of the wind. What if the ultimate finding is

that we are in the dream of a 'giant dinosour' is an imagination about the

future based on the idea from the past which is a thought in the present. In

this thought of the past and the future, the present (the truth) is not

experienced. Experiencing the present without any thought is the ultimate

awareness experiencing its projection in NOW that the mind labels it as

'consciousness or god'. Just be THAT without any judgements, without any

labels , without any words or concepts creating barriers (e.g. 'Basic

Advaita' and 'Advanced Advaita') and without any thought about doership /

seekership.

 

During the recent earthquake event in Gujarath, bananas were distributed to

people standing in the line. A six year old girl who survived the event

received one banana.

A photographer wanted to take her picture. The girl crossed the street and

found her two younger brothers who waited there as per her instructions. She

divided one banana in three parts and shared it with them. The photographer

was full of tears in that moment. He could not take the picture but he

experienced the God in that moment. If this has brought tears to you, you

have just felt the God in that moment.

This is one example of what experiencing the present moment means.

The smile, laughter, the joy from simple observation, tears from eyes, touch

of the friendship or love, fragrance, and pleasant listening ....all happen

in the experiencing of the NOW moment. BHAVA is DEVA. Bhava is that emotional

experiencing that happens only in THAT moment.....the present moment. Words

are not able to describe the glory of the present. This is where the mind

fails.

 

Each religion name is like a banana skin that protects the real thing under

its skin ; ie the spirituality. To hang on to a particular label about any

religion is like hanging on to a banana skin. Advanced level of spirituality

is also a label from the mind. Banana is also a label. Just enjoy it.
