Aura or the divine light

AURA OR THE DIVINE LIGHT

 

Today I had an opportunity to meet Sri Bombay Srinivasanji at the

morning walk. I would like to narrate the conversation we had today

morning.

 

SWAMI during his discourses calls the gathering with a word

called " Divyaathmaswaroopalara " . What does this mean? This means

embodiments of Atma. Each and everyone and everything are filled

with the Atma. Atma is nothing but the Divine Light or Jyothi. The

Atma is the spark from the ultimate supreme, which is filled in each

one of us and makes us to function.

 

This is where the concept of " Aham Brahmasmi " or ME and HIM are

one, has come from. Let us see the main concept of the " Aura " , which

is otherwise called as the Divine Light.

 

We all know SUN is the supreme light. It is the form of fire.

Without the Sun the earth and creatures cannot exist. Without the

existence of the Sun everything is sunya or blank. Without the

existence of the Sun everything will be dark.

 

We cannot see anything without the help of Sun. That is the only

reason our ancestors have worshiped Sun as the supreme God.

 

We have seen in the first paragraph that we are all the spark from

one ultimate supreme and we are all the embodiments of atma. This

atma is the nothing but the divine light. That is why we praise GOD

as " Jyothiswarupa " .

 

Sun gets in power and energy from this divine light. This Aura or

the divine light is pervading everywhere in the universe and it is

around each and everyone and everything. We are not able to see this

divine light in the normal day-to-day life because our mind is

filled with the ill thoughts like, Kama, kroda and lobha.

 

The person filled with the above tamo guna cannot able to realize

this Aura. Let us take an example. There is room in our house, which

is closed with wall on four sides and ceiling on the top. Also the

windows and doors of the room are closed. Can the light be able to

get into that room? Can we be able to see anything that is lying in

that room in that darkness?

 

Similarly, when our mind is also closed totally with the tamo

guna, viz.,

 

Kama, krodha, lobha etc., we cannot see the all-pervading Aura.

 

Then what is the way to see this Aura? What do we achieve by

seeing this Aura? We must start practicing Love towards everyone and

everything. As we have seen in the previous paragraphs we are all,

the spark from one Divine supreme and by loving our fellow person,

we love ourselves.

 

We should forget about the body or the nature of that person or

any living being for that matter. Irrespective of whoever it is we

should love them wholeheartedly and without any pre-conditions.

 

SWAMI is again teaching this with the words " LOVE ALL " . When our

mind is filled with love then there will be no place for the ill-

thoughts such as kama, krodha and lobha. When our mind is filled

with love, our mind becomes blank which is otherwise called sunya or

null.

 

This stage allows the doors and windows of our mind open to

everyone. Once the doors and windows are open the light will flow

inside in abundance. At this stage we can be able to see every other

living being or person as Atma Swaroopa and not as an individual.

 

Once we start seeing every person as Atma Swaroopa, we can see

this AURA emanating from everyone and everything, we sink into total

bliss. This cannot be explained , and only can be experienced.

 

During the above discussion, Sri Srinivasanji had shared his own

experience also. We all know Sri Srinivasanji is a kundalini yogi

and he is practicing meditation for several years now. He claims

that he can see the AURA when he meditates and sometimes he can see

this Aura emanating out from the people he come across also.

 

It has been explained by him that each and everyone are the

embodiments of Atma. We should not see a person as a person or a

human being, but should see them as Atma. Once we start practicing

this we can see this Aura flowing out from everyone and everything

and the entire world will be filled with this Aura. The world will

be bright and glowful for us.

 

The bliss that we would experience out of it will be something

great and that is the stage where we cross the ocean of life and

merge with the Ultimate Supreme.

 

Our SWAMI is the Ultimate Supreme and he has come to this world to

uplift us from the normal level to the divine level. His teachings

are very simple. " LOVE ALL, SERVE ALL, HELP EVER, AND HURT NEVER. "

Once we start practicing this in our daily life and surrender

ourselves totally to our SWAMI, HE will make the path easy for us.

He is a compassionate GOD. HIS form is LOVE. Whoever realizes their

mistakes and surrender themselves to our SWAMI, HE will hold their

hand to the path of realization and ultimately will help us to reach

our goal viz., the merge with Ultimate Supreme.

 

At HIS LOTUS FEET
