Take the name of divinity..
Are you feeling lost, uncertain and failed? Or have you reached a level beyond which there is nothing left to attain individually? Are you left confused, angry and sad or all three? Then you need to question your gut feelings and revise the actions that are causing you so much distress alone or even in your relationships extensively.
I was recently going over some Youtube videos and I was blessed to find some really authentic spiritual ones quoting all our ancient Hindu scriptures extensively.
The first one said that we must realise the impermanent nature of the world and treat all our relationships accordingly. Swami Yogananda preached that we all are alone, we will remain alone and we shouldn’t attach ourselves to anyone passionately. Swamiji spoke of how spiritually advanced souls feel happiness as their own true nature essentially. Such souls never lose sight of the happiness that they achieve through all their learnings and teachings in spirituality. He spoke of the Mahavtar Babaji but some facts that he revealed were not that conducive to humanity. He said that it was normal and easy to converse with and see God efficiently, this sounded like some plain old lunacy.
The Swami was addressing some people who had nearly everything and yet, all of them were addicted to money, relationships, alcohol and nearly every vice possibly. So, what is the solution to so much tragedy? We are left with no choice but to seek out tranquility in the pursuit of God and godliness fortunately. Swami Raman Maharshi preached about how to question the existence of a Self separate from the doer and thinker individually. He said that the cessation of the mind happened just by simple inquiry. He revealed that the thought, ‘Who am I’ led to the dissolution of the mind and the experience of fullness and the True and final reality.
Ekhart Tolle went further into the depths of the truth and preached that we all had to be aware of the awareness that we were witnessing existentially. Another spiritual sage of Bhopal, Swami Shailendra went on to reveal that every thought produces a chemical reaction in the body and bad odors come from bad thoughts and even worse actions unknowingly. Neem Karoli Baba suggested for us never to fear failure and keep trying until we achieved our goals both materially and spiritually. On the topic of death, Swami Parahamsa Yogananda said to embrace death as a good friend fervently. He said not to fear it as it was just a change in energy.
Another pragmatic teaching came from none other than our old sage Raman Maharshi- he said that the quest for God was unnecessary because, since everything came from God, perfection was already an existential reality.
All the experiencers of a divine reality all had a similar experience that was centered upon the attainment of happiness and bliss. They all experienced an unbroken sense of bliss that came from surrender and the dissolution of the individual BMI trinity.
Most of the online lecturers indicated the need to meditate, chant and listen to divine songs for at least 1 hour twice daily. They also preached to surrender to a naturally far superior force, namely god or Consciousness, relentlessly.
