Tat Tvam Asi - You are (not) That

[Guest guest]

When a person initially get disturbed by world activities and look for Peace and

Happiness, they are easily drawn towards Spiritualism.

 

And amongst the seekers, the serious seekers those who are mentally disturbed

very much when compared with others are easily drawn towards Advaita

philosophy.Because their mind look for Peace more than anybody else whereas

others are happy in doing devotional activities to any deities etc.,

 

The Attraction towards Advaita philosophy is when it says everything and

everyone is God and the rest is illusion, then we feel ourselves as God and

there is no more questions about God or anything else and immediately we keep

mum or silent feeling that there is no point for any argument since everything

is illusion and everything is God.

 

This immediately gives the peace for those seekers who were really longing for

Peace. Apart from that since we feel we are God, we become more self confident

day by day at the same time we become more arrogant day by day without our

knowledge.

 

And the second attraction to Advaita philosophy is All are illusion and all are

God and at the same time all are existing in front of our eyes. Three different

aspects apply to the same object. So with this concept, same object or

philosophy can be negated at one point of time, can accepted at another point of

time and can respected at another point of time.This Principle makes Advaita

followers more confident in arguing with followers of other religion or

philosophy.

 

To go more in to details, what happens when we keep mum or silent making our

mind blank (Infact mind never becomes blank, it only experiences or feels the

Peace which we call as Blank), we experience our original nature , that is peace

and we recollect the Brahm element , the world of light, where the souls and

God reside.

 

Another experience of Meditation is all pervadingness, it is nothing but our

original nature is of Peace and double light - Weightlessness and

brightness.When in deep concentration and peacefulness, we feel light and

weightlessness and we feel that expanded consciousness as being weightlessness

–as all pervading.

 

But if we see the Truth, the above Experiences are only a part of Meditation and

there is still more to experience, Especially the Qualities of God.Since God

being the Ocean of Mercy, Ocean of Powers, Ocean of Knowledge,…………, we have to

experience all His Qualities with having the real relation with God. We should

not stop only at the entrance of Brahm World and satisfy ourselves with only

Peace of the Brahmand. We should get inside and meet and take whatever is

available with God.

 

 

 

LIBERATION

 

(If) We believe liberation is merging of one soul into supreme soul,this idea

exists when we do meditation keeping our mind blank, and with the same

blankness of mind if we act, we feel it as realization.And the person with

blankness of mind react to the situation without any ego since he does not allow

any thought to appear in his mind.Yes. This situation I feel can be called as

performing action although not performing and at this situation the performer

actas only as an observer and the action can be called as akarma, the action

which never bear fruits.

 

And we can also say this person does not have any karmas left out, If karmic

accounts pending he cannot stop his mind without thoughts.(But such a person

never exists in the world)

 

But since the soul is taken birth in a particlar family and situation , is only

to experience the fruit of his actions and once his seeds of action got

exhausted he cannot live in this world.

 

He cannot live in this world with a blank Karmic account.

 

It is basically believed that the realized person does not have any karmic

accounts of any birth (according to Adi Sankaracharya) although he lives in this

world. This will only apply to that particular person (although the karma

exists)since he does not react to the situation by keeping his mind blank

 

And it is believed that this blankness of mind is realized only by highly

spiritualized souls, Yogis etc.,,But this blankness of mind can be achieved in a

simple way by remembering God.

 

We all Know God is Ocean of Peace, Ocean of Mercy, Ocean of Knowledge…..And if

we concentrate on God’s quality of peace, instead of struggling to keep our mind

blank and experience peace, we can carryout our action being a detached

Observer.

 

Not only Peace, we can experience each and every quality of God without any

difficulty of keeping our mind Blank

 

It is very easy to become peaceful by remembering God than experiencing Peace

by keeping our Mind blank.

 

In the first case we are acting with our Soul Power and in the Second one, we

act with our soul Power linked with God ie. We act in Combined Form and you will

experience the Power of God in all your activities.

 

In the first case there is no karma for future for the realized soul but in the

second one, whatever he acts with God, all the action is for the benefit of

others and His Good Karmic accounts keep increasing.
