Guest guest Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 The Sadhana reveals that a man is God. This Godhood could be reached by purifying the body, mind, rejoining the buddhi to God and by revealing the inner pure “I” in our ego or consciousness. This Pure “I” is God. This pure “I” is a part of the universal consciousness (God). The doers of Sadhana, love, realization and bliss open through this pure “I”. It is therefore an unavoidable part of Sadhana to refine the mind, buddhi and ego. It is not only refinement, but also a reforming and purging process. The reason for insisting this factor again and again in this article is that the man has gone for away from the purity of mind and buddhi in this life of speed, selfishness and self-centred ego. He has to revert himself to the original nature by honest and dynamic efforts. We can purchase an article from a shop after payment of the cost but we cannot purchase divine life and realization in the market. We must change ourselves internally, inwardly and be fact to face with the divine life and its demands. One can very well understand the value of Sadhana and its essentiality also on a mental plane. But he has to act positively by offering the necessary sacrifice, inner change and surrender. The methods of money, power, and organization will not be of any help there. The main intention behind this preparation is that the mind and buddhi should be clean, pure and capable of accommodating nobler and higher tenets. The mind is to repent first to enable oneself not to mix up in sense objects even when one is face to face with sensual enjoyment. When we pull the string of love and devotion, the tensions of “I” consciousness relax. The heart is a sporting playground of Saguna God. Navel is a place of dynamic action. Talusthan is the entrance door to the crest center (Brahmarandhara) and the crest center is the place of merger of Shiva and Shakti. We have to enter this preparatory Sadhana so that we could step on the threshold of divine life. The consciousness, which is marked by individuality at the navel and eyebrow center, gets expanded when the consciousness is raised higher and higher from navel to the heart center. The universality of cosmic elements made up of love, compassion, devotion, humanitarian and kindness sprout up in the heart. When the Saguna form of God is fixed with steady love in the heart, the ego crosses individuality and enters into universality and merges in cosmos. The process in the consciousness namely Saguna Nirguna transformation, individuality-universality merges are vital in imparting perfection to an advanced aspirant. The Sadhana of control described earlier together with renunciation of the fruits of action help in the pooja of the universal God residing as a spark in the heart. This discipline is of great significance and assistance to a true aspirant. This orients a Sadhaka through his senses, mind, buddhi and ego towards the Paramatma residing in the heart. When the senses together with the mind turn into the heart and the waves of devotional love sentiments spring out through the senses. The control and denouncement turns into love and higher sentiments. This is a high and elevated stage of Samyama and Vairagya (renunciation and detachment). This cannot be experienced at the very outset when the exercise of Sadhana is at an infancy stage. This would demand a constant and determined service and Sadhana for sometime. The Gudakesh (Paramatma) lives in the heart. This is universal or cosmic God. He is the master of the senses. He is to be invoked in the heart. Bhakti is the method of invocation. (To be contd....)
