Description and nature of soul

Hello!

This is not all about philosophy or plain spiritualism but about science. When the understanding increases and answers found, puzzles that eluded us become recognizable. The spiritualism merges with science because ultimately it’s not about truth but about recognition and acceptance.

The soul and its working is pretty complex but what the soul is all about and its nature is pretty simple. Soul or spirit as some may refer is nothing but an absolute pure form of energy. All the different types of energy found in the universe are a mixture of sort, composite of some elements. But pure energy is different it has no element or chemicals nor is it a matter with any sort of protons or any sort of ingredient.

All elements and matter changes its character as it passes through its natural evolution. The ultimate reach of any matter, energy is to reach its most natural or original state that of complete purity. This is the final stage of its change, evolution and after which there’s no movement it is sort of a resting place. Soul is such an entity! Each soul or energy form moves to its final moment and that is the journey. It takes on many forms and passes through infinite stages. There are many routes to reach the final stage and only one of them is the route of taking a form of intelligence life to progress faster.

The energy while transforming gathers universal moss on the way. This covers the energy form and burdens it down in weight. The more it covers or becomes impure the more weight it gains and is bogged down. Any object that’s heavy lies low and takes a longer while in its struggle to shrug it off. There are many factors or opportunities for that energy mould to get rid of its impurities faster but it varies. When such energy form is bogged down by other particles and gets bogged down, the ancient seers’ referred this as the soul going down to hell and struggling to survive. What really happens is that the soul or energy that’s heavy and gets to the bottom has to pass through pressures and there are factors created to help shrug of that heavy load. The heavier the load the more pain it takes to remove it from its burdened self. Hence, the description of torture of the hell from the religious scriptures the world over.

Once this extra load of other particles that has attached itself to the energy is removed the energy lightens and is able to rise. Like a balloon whose strings have been severed and rises in free and lighter movements. The energy or soul rises fast and like a free bird it flies higher and higher. When it becomes lighter it crosses space and dimensions and is able to surpass cosmic blocks that cannot stop the light energy like a door cannot stop the water from seeping in through. When the energy crosses over is what has been described of entering heaven. What really happens is that not only has the energy rid of its load but has started the process of purification. The energy then enters into a realm where there’s no turning back and the process of final cleanliness commences. Here the soul or energy normally adopts no form and if this happens while it’s already in a given form; it releases from that form and goes into a state of final cleanliness.

The ultimate stage is when the energy is nearing its final riddance of the impurities and hence starts revealing its pure energy form before it disappears forever, ceasing its evolution and leaving behind no traces whatsoever. This is the description of Moksa, the ultimate salvation or the final resting place religions talk about.

Those energy forms that preceded us are not creators or omniscient’s as many think but those whose energy form reached its final destination before us and our souls or energy still has to get there. The heavens are nothing but dimensions or cosmic gateways where the energy passes through on its cleanliness drive. These dimensions are not geographic locations in the universe but simply the point of transformation from one stage to another. Similarly there is no such hell but point where the pure energy gets covered and lies low in a state of heavy weight and pressures like lying at the bottom of a deep ocean that has immense pressures, is dark, lifeless and where there seems to be simply no movement. Time seems to stop and it takes long to get rid of the weight to float higher and then be free like a bird.

Theory of everything is not just culmination of various theories under one theory but the answer is the absolute pure state of energy. This is going to be mighty difficult to even find one because when the energy reaches that stage it lasts only for just one moment in so called time scale before it ends leaving behind no trail or traces. This pure form of energy is not the birth of everything but rather the end.

Hope!

Hello!

Hope is such a splendid word. It has so much to tell all packed in just four alphabets. The whole mankind revolves around on this word literally and otherwise.

I feel, the word is misleading from realities. Hope is what all have and feel at many stages in life, its a clingy word that attaches and teaches one to attach to things, be they coming or not. Hope is a kind of compensation to turn dreams into reality, it makes the person wait till eternity. But things come to a person who deserves it and they think hope was responsible for it.  Hope is something like a Maya an illusion, a mirage. Few can find the oasis, others perish in the stark dead lands. 

Hope can make a person spend precious moments doing nothing but wait. Waiting helps tide over the bad phase but hope has no direct hand in it. One needs to adjust the sails as per the direction of the winds, not hope for the winds to change. They may or may not, nature has its on course and won't wait for anyone.

Each life has its' own path and the journey of many lives. Sometimes the life may end abruptly, sometimes, it goes for too long. In any case, the journey must go on, in one life or in the next...Hope has no place. So let's stop fooling ourselves.  

Life is nothing but a journey...don't get attached, just go on and get over with it. Dhara   Clock

The Spiritual Path

Hi,

There are many ways to reach the mountain top. Many ways to reach the Godhead and many ways to being religious or spiritualist. Salvation is what all want since its the final resting place of a soul. There are plenty of books, millions of rules and regulations and methodology from quickies to full fledge going through life's fire to achieve what has been written, what has been said and what's been passed as tradition. All this and more to achieve just one goal- salvation.

Fasting, meditations, pilgrimage, worships and all the hocus pocus of gaining what's only known but never understood. My dear fellow beings salvation is not a complicated issue, nor is it something to get by appeasing gods or your own karmas. Nopes, salvation is simply understanding thyself and come to think one spends hundreds of thousands of birth-death cycles to only know thyself. The stars look so near but are yet so far to reach literally. However, understanding the star is all it takes, then what? Nothing, move on...All the knowledge is understood and the soul disappears actually ceases to mould or convert into anything any longer. It is the end and all it takes is knowing about it.

What is the most amusing and sometimes irritating factor is when each person has their own methodolgy of achieving salvation and it is comparable to all kinds of diets various people and so called authority prescribe to someone trying to loose weight, etc. When someone achieves a little of the spiritual knowledge, others quickly follow them, bow before them and weave out horror stories if you do not follow the set criteria or the numerous rule book laid out. You are termed a pariah, if you even walk on your own path by yourself. What they fail to realize is that each soul has to chalk out their own pathways and no one else can lead, follow or walk on that pathway. Not even the seers, or those who have achieved the ultimate can suggest what your soul should do, they cannot, how can they? They have walked their path and reached the end. Now you walk on your own pathway and go where you have to.

So don't worry, go about doing your work, learn things at your pace and you shall still reach your destination with trial and error. Live the moment! If there are no short cuts in life then there is no long road either. So trust your own soul and don't bother about any nitty-gritties of life and things.

Go live a life!

Cheers!

Mom's B'day

Hello,

Today according to Indian Jain calendar is my mom's birthday, Jain Vir Samvat 2534, Chaitra Sud 11. She would have completed 78 years had she been alive.

I just discovered a poem i had written about her years ago, when i was a teenager, here is that poem that had been written by me on 19-10-1990.

Mother-o-Mine        19-10-1990

You have given me troubles, pain,
Irritation and made me insane.

But behind the façade,
You taught me to be strong, enduring and patient.

You’re foolish at time, no doubt,
You think you’re helpless,
But you can overcome if you try.

You criticize on my face, and then,
Tell the world I’m the best,
For me to be humble.

You say no to everything I want to do.
To test my enduring ability.

You made me a rebel, so I can fight
For righteousness in the world.

You cut other’s praises for me,
So that I could not fall into false trap.

You don’t give me wealth,
So that I can live with less.

You teach me to save, so that,
I can save the world from self-destruction.

You beat me, so that I can take the setback.
You make me cry, so I know the value of emotions.

You scold me, so I can learn,
The rules hard and fast.

Thank you mother-o-mine,
But do you know you are you,
And I am I!
And never shall all fingers be the same again.
 
You have to change according to my time,
As I will change with my future generations.

Sweet mother-o-mine, learn from me too.
Let’s make the best of what’s there between us.

will you mom??


Thanks mom for everything, let you soul be in peace forever.

Ladders

Hello,

There are management, marketing and all sorts of gurus out there, who give valuable tips to manage life and everything else that is part of one's universe. Many a times they talk about various things that puts the listeners or readers on a guilt path. I just read about how a poor tomato seller works his business and the loss that he faces, etc. Another time, there were stories about how people in certain circumstances live and survive to share their tale. Cool!

What these so called gurus and others fail to understand is that there are ladders. When one climbs higher, the view at the bottom gets smaller and then it disappears altogether. It is not necessarily that those who go up have to return back. It depends on how high you plan to go in the first place. if your ladder is only till the moon, you might have to return back. If your ladder is all the way to the end of the universe, who knows what shall happen? Ladders are meant for one to climb higher, higher in life, in evolution, in spirit or whatever. Each rung has it's own share of problems. It's own share of experiences and solutions. Sometimes these things can be overlapped with the immediate below or above rung or few rungs. What a tomato seller goes through may not be the same situation or the same solution for those facing problems of a different kind, although they look similar. There are lot of other factors and out look at stake. One just cannot compare the tomato seller to the CEO of a business. Just like one cannot compare the experiences of a horse with that of a bird. The terrain may be the same but the out look is totally different. It also does not mean that the tensions a tomato seller faces are much worst than that of the owner of a large firm. In fact given the situation a tomato seller can handle life in a better fashion than the CEO.

Initially everyone looks down, while they are climbing either these ladders or steps of a mountain. After reaching a certain height, they may just turn back once and not stopping till they reach the top. From here the view is totally different. But those who are climbing to go beyond the top, there is no view down below. They have even gone beyond the clouds and the stars. Nothing affects them, nothing moves them or they have no desire to look or go any other place. The beauty of that moment, that place is so intense that the mind never looks back but only enjoys the moment.

I shall recount a visual i had seen once seen while meditating. I was climbing the floors of a building. Each floor had something going on where i stopped for few minutes before proceeding. But it was the last floor that made me linger a lot longer. There was lots of entising things, good music, food and happiness to be seen and felt. However i just turned away for a moment to look upwards. It was dark and there was a small door on its roof. The darkness made me think twice about staying back on the last floor and enjoying a little bit more of the going on of that floor. But the curiosity got better of me, finally i pulled myself away and slowly and with caution i reached the small door. It took severla moments for me to gather my guts to open that door and when i did very slowly i found an extream bright light right upon me, the reaction by me was to just flung the remaining door open and the next thing i saw was stepping right across that door into the light that did not hurt the eye but spread a certain beauty around. I tried to see my feet and found that the floor was filled with clouds and i could not even feel my feet, leave alone seeing them but i really did not care. My eyes were looking around me. A total vastness lay around me till my eyes could see and beyond and i was in total peace. There were no feelings, i did not feel any saddness, loneliness, happiness or anything. I just felt nothing! In that one instance of my stepping onto the other side of the door made me totally forget the existance of anything below. What happens next i saw only much later but that one visual taught me things no one else did. It showed me things no one could show me early or even explain. It is was a moment to live to experience and no word is befitting enough to describe the visual, since i did not feel anything. I was beyond all and everything.

So my friends, don't just depend on all what gurus say or anyone, because ultimately, you have to go beyond all this, forward in your journey, leaving everything behind. Believe me, you won't regret it. I just wished that moment would last forever but i got a glimse of what lay ahead and now i need to gather my guts to pull myself away from that last door into the momentary darkness and pull open that door to let the light take me away forever.

Luck?

Hello,

Ask any successful person the one thing about their achievement and 90% will say hard work. The rest would give various other adjectives, like perseverence, patience, being at the right place at the right time, etc. But not one person shall say, we are here because of luck!

The successful person is so proud of their achievements, not realizing that above all their time and energy spent, something else worked for them. Even a donkey works hard. A snail has the most patience and so on, are these creatures more famous than the other? It is not about working hard or working smart. It is pure luck, 99% of it and the rest falls in the one percent. Don't believe me? Look around, can you spot anyone in your life who has got everything without working? Do you spot anyone who you think does not even deserve the success they boast about? Don't you say often, boy! you have all the luck, etc.

Yep! Luck is actually what works and what is this luck? Nothing but your accumulated good deeds that are bearing the fruits. Some bear the fruits in the same life, making the person feel that they have really worked. Some get the fruits of their labor in the next life and hence recieving things they may not have put an effort in that life. You don't have to work overtime gathering good deeds, they don't work like a precision factory product. It is all about your thoughts and actions of each moment that is collected at the end of the life in an account. Sometimes, the account starts working right away, sometimes at the end of a life. As you sow, shall you reap. If you sow the seeds of a cactus, don't expect mangoes to grow.

Anyone is willing to work hard, show patience be there at the appointed time to recieve the goodies, only if they knew that they would get what they want. But they don't and hence majority face set backs. Just as creatures evolve in time, so does a soul. Recognizing your own soul is what ultimately matters, neither the material world, nor the spiritual.

Take Stock

Hello,

My first blog of the year and it is not soo positive.
I am feeling low, the year started on a high note but i guess my hopes had got drunk and took time to fall back on Earth. Now they have fallen with a loud dud and am hurt.

I love being a female and yet the world hates me for this. I have to double prove myself and it sure does put a load on me. C'mon, why don't folks understand that i too am a human out to earn my bread? I'm not getting married to a rich old man or inheriting great wealth that would turn this ugly froggy into a fat queen! When things go wrong or deals don't happen it does hurt a lot, specially when a lot of money has been poured in. It only gives people like my family to say, why don't you just sit home, this world is not a place for you. Then where is it? Cat's Eye galaxy? Boy...did i fight over those souls up there like a maniac bull so that i did not want to be born back on Earth! And now that i'm here, they pushed me y'know, i have no intentions of sleeping and eating the rest of my life. If i have been abandoned in a dark dingy cold cave, i might as well make the best of it and explore it while i'm here. When the others stop me from doing it because they are not adventurous or they don't want me to find its secrets then its their problem not mine.

It's pointless fighting, no one wins but everything gets destroyed. Lying low is not acceptable either, so what is? Third way out...which is either go deep inside the unknown cave or go outside into the unknown world. In either way, finding yourself is the ultimate adventure and goal. Who wants to sit forever in one place.

I'm also not offloading my tensions, if i did, i am not serious enough and i do not vent superficial things un-necessarily. I have talents, skills but not an iota of faith and this is what kills me. How can you gain confidence when everyone you meet points towards your goat and says, why are you carrying a dog? I know i'm carrying a goat, but what to these people think, i'm a fool not to realize it myself? If realizing took time then accepting it should not take time right? Theoretically, no! But then life has no rules and it follows its own path.

To make things short, i need to get away, from this environment, this time frame and everything in it. Maybe Cat's Eye galaxy ain't so bad huh?
