INTRODUCTION Welcome to the world of searching Searching for the truth. Searching or seeking Joy and Happiness. In our hearts. You would not find it in YouTube, Google, Yahoo, Facebook WhatsApp Web or Amazon. Every Creature on the planet wish to be happy or they seek happiness. To be happy you need the knowledge, or you have to know the Truth. That is the only way to achieve true everlasting happiness. There has been an ongoing study amongst the terminally ill. For those who are dying, their biggest most common reoccurring regret is that they were not true to themselves; they were not honest with themselves. For those who are not yet dying, there is still time to know yourself, to know the Truth. The truth will not let you die but it will help you to cross over. All you have to do is to know the truth and you are there. The ultimate truth is straight and simple There is nothing else to be done. But it is important that you are totally convinced of your own true nature, your own higher self. You need to believe in yourself. To convince yourself, it will take a lot of practice, concentration and determination. You will need to study, learn, and practice by making most of the power of internet, watching lots of relevant videos and reading articles and then thinking about it or contemplating it. More you practice, better you will understand it. Meditation and yoga will also help, as it is an ongoing process. It is a huge topic and lot has already been written about it, so we just going to pick up on main points, in a short and simple way based on ancient Vedic knowledge and the wisdom of saints. ONE HUMANITY (THE ONENESS) Two plus two is four is a truth statement, obviously you know that but there are people who would try make you believe otherwise. Greedy capitalists, corrupt communists, fanatics, and extremists will try their best to misguide you, have manipulate you and force their beliefs on to you. Many people are made to work in a slave like conditions, denied basic human rights and are made to believe what they are told. They will try their best to brainwash you or even kill you. It has not just happened in the past, it is still happening now, and they have no regards for human life. As a result, we have broken lives, broken individuals, broken families, broken communities and societies and broken Nations. Even the climate seems to be broken!! How many times the World has been Bloodied? The Humanity is divided so badly along the lines of nationalities, religions, race, creed, color, economy, and politics. Even if you divide by two, soon the two groups will soon start hating and killing each other. So even One division is an utter nuisance It would not be unfair to say that hatred, exploitations, enslavements and killing are at high if not epidemic levels. Many of these issues are not even addressed, or they are totally ignored. Some member nations of the United Nations are more of a part of problem and nobody will even think about solutions. It is a tragic irony that many parts of the world are still ruled by arrogant leaders who are dictators and breed hatred. Many religious leaders have failed to preach peace and harmony. So, it is particularly important that you know not just the truth but the ultimate truth. Imagine you driving a car, but you do not know where you are going. Without right knowledge you cannot get to the right place. Without knowing the truth, you are simply drifting all over the place or going around in circles. can you even trust your own mind? Are you your own worst enemy? What is really killing you? Have you ever eaten food that you really didn’t want to eat in the restaurant? Craving for a piece of cake which you should not eat? Do you go crazy if you do not get your tea or coffee? Can you control your own mind or your compulsive behavior? Many Smokers think they can stop smoking anytime but many of them struggle. Your mind is simply controlled by so many powerful forces. Without Meditation, mind is undisciplined and sometimes out of control. You need to challenge your own thoughts and beliefs. Many people are still clinging on to old, misguided beliefs. You manifest what you think hence it is important to have good thoughts aligned with love and kindness, otherwise you are asking for trouble. “All that we are is a result of what we have thought.” —Buddha KNOWLEDGE AND REALITY What we know is a drop in an ocean somebody once famously proclaimed. whereas an ocean of knowledge can be wishful thinking, there is no harm in having a healthy debate what is true and ultimate knowledge. It is also proclaimed that we can only see less than 0.01 % of the reality. Which suggests how severely we are physically and mentally limited in our abilities and understandings. We can hardly jump the wall or fence let alone jump to the moon, and we hardly think beyond our desires. We carry on with our limited abilities, yet spiritual masters claim that as a spiritual consciousness we have unlimited powers. "The Truth will set you free" is the moto engraved on many educational and other institutions around the world, yet there does not seem to be many courses or PhDs or Professorships offered on what can be termed as most important academic subject for the humanity. Sadly, most people do not even think about it. Very few try to learn it and fewer still realize it. Not Knowing the truth is just like drifting in the dark not knowing where you are going. Lots of knowledge is lost because of books and library has been known to have burned down by the tyranny of Cruel dictators and rulers. Many parts of the world are still under dictatorship with one form or other who has total disregard for humanity and the true knowledge. They are simply holding back the Humanity. It was more difficult in the past to gain knowledge, as people did not have easy access to knowledge and often fell prey to fake Preachers and Gurus and got misguided into false beliefs. Now with the help of internet, Google, Facebook, YouTube etc, we are able to gain easy access to great knowledge and share it and discuss it with likeminded souls. ABOUT TRUTH STATEMENTS Before we watch the truth statement, let’s try to learn more about it: Just like two plus two, the truth statement is universal truth statements are always true truth statements are unconditional truth. truth statements govern the universe truth statements cannot be manipulated although people will try. truth statements override all your beliefs. truth statements need no creator, inventor, researcher, owner, exerciser, or experimenter truth statements are not open to debates and arguments. truth statements need no opinions truth statements only need understanding. truth statements can never be changed or altered or redefined. Now we dare to make a most daring truth statement which is beyond humanity or beyond human minds and hearts to perceive or comprehend. THE ULTIMATE TRUTH Having searched lots of consciousnesses, although there is only one! and the deep ocean of knowledge on the net I have managed to conjure up some hard truth about the ultimate truth or the highest truth. It’s nothing new, many people are already aware of it! We can debate lots about it but first let go straight to the point. After studying all the truths presented in the ancient texts, I have come to conclusion that the Highest truth is: “IT IS” Known as existence or consciousness it simply “IS” I cannot think of higher truth then that. It always has been, and it always will be, it is a timeless paradox. There is nothing before that and there is nothing after that. (Something for you to ponder upon!!) “IT IS” because it just “IS” Here comes the more amazing truth: “IT IS AND YOU ARE THAT !!” (Tat Tvam Asi (That Thou Art) (Google it !!) Regardless of whether you believe it or not, we all experience the existence or consciousness all the time. Even when we are sleeping, we still do exist, or we are still in consciousness. Outside our mind and body, we are simply the higher spiritual consciousness. It is that consciousness that enable us to see things, hear voices, experience the world and so on. it is that consciousness that allow our mind to think. There is only one infinite consciousness or one universe in its entirety or wholeness. Only consciousness exists, everything else just appears and disappears in consciousness, just like the waves in the ocean appear and disappear. That oneness is key to universe in its entirety or wholeness. Hence any divisions are utter nuisance in a terribly divided world. We all share the same consciousness. It is that consciousness on which our daily life functions, every single aspect of our life is possible because of it. Consciousness deserves more understanding; more you try to learn it more you will understand and realize it. You will feel more fulfilled and satisfied which would result in more peaceful tranquil divine existence. This is the ultimate truth statement and do not just believe it because it is written here, or someone said it. Close your eyes and try to experience it. There are some things in life you just have to know and understand, like two plus two, what to eat and what not to eat etc... The ultimate truth statement needs understanding. You must convince yourself. More you understand it, more you get convinced and more empowered you become. One should try to spend at least ten to fifteen minutes a day thinking about it and meditate upon it. It is called a “me” time. It is very important to have “me” time as most of the times we are busy working like slaves to feed our body and our Ego. Once you grasp it, you can even do it while you are walking, driving, or travelling in a train or bus. The Humanity needs to rise and prosper by embracing the knowledge, the truth and the reality. The Humanity does not need to succumb to darkness of arrogance, ignorance, greed, ego and hatred, which many of the world leaders promoting these days. UNDERSTANDING (SAMJAN) There are lots of things we do not understand. Even worse, there are lots of things we misunderstand. Very often we are deliberately misguided And that causes some serious issues!! That’s why this topic is not for intellectuals… ha ha Without understanding your own true nature, you have gone through unimaginable pain and suffering in your life cycles. This cycle of birth and death goes on and on until you realize and understand your own true nature and stay in your own nature. This is the teaching of Shrimad Rajchandra who was spiritual advisor of Mahatma Gandhi as well many others. For example, not many people understand the importance of care. Some people do not even care about their own children, parents, brothers, sisters and so on. How many times have you heard the phrase “I don’t care”? Many people do not care about the environment or even their own health. Many lives are wasted due to carelessness and-or addictions. The consequence is disastrous for humanity because that’s the kind of culture we have gotten ourselves into. To cut long story short, without right understanding we cannot achieve much, and atrocities will continue. Let us get down to get some serious understanding of our true nature as a spiritual divine consciousness which is The Ultimate Truth. We are all born at very young age without much of understanding. Very many of us have never been taught right understanding of love and respect, care and kindness etc. Many of us grow up so selfish and self-centered that we even abandon our own families. There are so many children who are abandoned by either one or both parents. So many women are trafficked or forced to have many children that she is unable to take care of them. G-Word If you have survived so far spiritually then you should be able to tackle the G-word or G-force now. It's the questions that crosses everybody's mind every now and then. Does the God exist? Some would say nothing else exits!! According to Vedic experts (ved simply means knowledge); If you say yes, then yes “you are that” or that thou art. If you say no, then no there is no god other then you. Now you do the maths, if you want to know God, you have to be one. 😊 Tat Tvam Asi (That Thou Art) When you are able to remove all the ignorance and arrogance in your existence, you basically defeat Maya and you become one with exitance or God. In other words, without realizing it, you live in a temple with real god in it, with the help of yoga and meditation, you just need to clean it up removing all the dirt, like ignorance, arrogance, greed, ego etc. Then you can have real Joy and Happiness. Just like light removes darkness Knowledge removes ignorance. Kindness and removes arrogance. Love removes Hatred Humbleness removes Ego and so on. Simple, isn’t it? It’s not just that simple, it is truly amazing. RELIGION Everything has a religion The religion of ice is to be cold and The religion of gold is to be gold. The religion of heat is to be hot. Once you realize your true nature or your existence as a spiritual consciousness, your true nature is joy and happiness. A solid ball of iron is so solid that there is no space inside to fit tiny atom. Similarly, your spiritual soul, free from all the arrogance and ignorance, in its pure true nature is a solid ball of Joy and happiness. Religion simply cannot be defined by the food you eat or the clothes you were or the ceremonies you perform or the things you believe in or the number of people you exploit. Many people subscribe to manmade, often fake religion and they ignore the true religion of their spiritual soul. Religion of all creatures on planet seems to be to survive, reproduce and die. Many people seem to fall into that category. But as a human we are privileged to have ability to understand and realize our own true nature. We have ability to meditate and acquire knowledge which can help us to get into the higher state of divine consciousness, which is full of joy and happiness. Only when we know who we are, we can realize our own true religion. We are more than just name, mind and body. No creature is born to any religion; it has a religion in its own soul. Maya The ultimate lie. (loosely translated as Materialism, Temptations) Maya is the biggest delusion or lie there is in the universe. It is an illusion that is holding humanity in its cusp. It promises you, as its marketing strategy, the seventh heaven and delivers the worst hell you can imagine. It not just makes you suffer through tsunamis, storms, earthquakes, wars and other disasters, it also delivers devastating mental and physical pain and suffering, hunger and poverty, loneliness and depression and much more. It can make you born again and again to make sure you can pay your dues!! Even your own body, your mind, relationships, your possessions, your wealth, it’s all Maya which is part of Sansar (or samsara, material life). Life is like a tree, If you look at tree, you’ll see leaves, flowers, fruits, branches everything but you wouldn’t see the roots without which tree wouldn’t exist. Similarly, in life you’ll see everything (Maya) but the consciousness without which the life wouldn’t exist. Everything appears and disappears in your consciousness. Your consciousness always remains same. It’s like a mirror, or the screen in the cinema. Many movies are played on the screen, but the screen always remains the same. You are looking at the screen but watching movie. Whole life is played on your consciousness. That’s why it’s called Maya. You as a consciousness always remain the same. You are tricked into acting your life, all of it!! Just like movie cannot affect the screen, Maya cannot affect consciousness. Blame Game Because it is Maya, obviously there has to be a blame game. And guess what, according to Maya it’s all your fault. Karma is its best friend, you do good you get good, you cause pain, you get pain. As Humans we are our own worst enemy, we always cause pain, not just to ourselves but all the other creatures on the planet. No one but only you are responsible for your own karma. Even if you are breathing, you could disturb other life forms and it all comes back to you. But those karma are not as severe as the ones you get when you deliberately cause harm or pain through anger, hatred, greed or ego. Every action you take there are consequences. Root cause of karmas are desires, arrogance, ignorance and ego. Yes, it’s a free gift from Maya. Obviously, you as a Divine Consciousness has got no business with maya. Without Consciousness Maya wouldn’t survive. Life was also supposed provide you with free food, free water, free air in abundance, what more could you ask for? Not sure what went wrong along the lines!! Some of us have to beg for food or even water and fresh air. Maya has made you believe that you are a human being seeking spiritual experience. In reality you are spiritual being going through human experience. You may argue why some people are so happy, they have everything. That’s because You have a spike of good luck every now and then, wait until the luck runs out and you end up back again where you are. Even the richest are not totally happy unless you are enlightened with the true knowledge. It was not possible for Maya to hide the truth from you hence it tried hide you from the truth with the help of many temptations. You cannot change what has happened in past, but it’s totally up to you how you react to your current situations. Your reaction will determine your future situations. Life has dealt you set of cards, how are you going to play? Lord Buddha and many other saints have managed to embrace truth by rejecting maya and overcoming its temptations. Maya’s Trap Believe me you are really trapped by Maya so badly. As soon as you are conceived you are trapped in your body. Then you get trapped into your mind, thoughts, intellect, curiosity etcetera. Even before you were conceived you were trapped by your karma which decided your fate. Then you are trapped by your family, parents, siblings, uncles, aunts etcetera. Then you are trapped by your community, acquaintances, friends etcetera. Then you are trapped by your religion and beliefs and politics etc. Then you are trapped by your status in the society or the company you keep. The worst traps are desires, temptation, compulsion etc Did you really gamble, or something made you do it? By now you are trapped by lots and lots of problems, too much money or lack of it, too much or too little food, poor health and disease, mental issues, family issues, anxiety, depression etc The burden is on you to serve your family, community, society, country etc. Too many people live in hope that never materialize. Very often frustrated individuals resort to drugs, crime and violence to escape Maya, but they get into deeper troubles. Others take a path of self-discovery with the help of yoga, meditation etc. Now I think you got the picture, so let’s try to get out of this entrapment business. Freedom from maya The first and foremost key is to realize who you are. Remember that you are not just mind and body. You are before birth, and you are after death. You always are and you always will be. You are the consciousness that is infinite and eternal. If you look at an object, who do you think is looking at it? It’s not your eyes or the mind nor the body. It’s the super consciousness through which your eyes look at an object and your mind processes the information. As soon as you realize that, you are super consciousness that witnesses all things going on around you, and you start working on it you start freeing yourself from the influence of maya and karma. More convinced and more enlightened you get, you become more liberated. ________________________________________ Life is like a boat in the water Imagine you are in the boat the first thing you have to realize is how many and how big the holes are in your boat, that’s letting in water. Many people just ignore the holes with terrible consequences. Greed, ego, selfishness, temperament, ignorance, arrogance are some of the holes in your life which let the bad thing rule your life. Next you have to figure out remedy to fix those holes in the boat, to stop water getting into your boat. Many people act when it’s too late. Kindness, compassion, meditation, yoga, self-realization (knowledge), love and care will fix the holes in your life Next thing you have to think about how to get rid of access water from the boat. As soon as you realize your own true nature and shed your ego, ignorance and arrogance, you stop charging new karmas and your old karmas will run its course and eventually you can be free of karmas. Then you can be free to bask in immense eternal joy and happiness, free from all the anxiety, pain and suffering. It is a true enlightenment or nirvana. POWERS Who is in power in your life? Usually, your life is governed by your mind which responds to your ego, desires and cravings Mind is like a monkey in jungle, it keeps jumping from thought to thought. Mind is also controlled by compulsive actions and addictive desires which bubble up from your subconscious mind Hence it is necessary to discipline the mind by using the power of Meditation Meditation helps you to increase your power of concentration and determination Which in turn increases your power of making right decisions at right time. You also have a tremendous power to be humble, kind and compassionate which elates the divinity with in you. You have power to choose. You enhance your power when you choose love over hatred, knowledge over ignorance, kindness over cruelty and so on. Many people misuse their powers and consequences are no good. Meditation Many people never stop meditating or they are in permanent state of meditation. Meditation is about contemplating your own true nature within your inner self realising that essence as the consciousness of the entire universe If you think searching the net is magical try searching yourself with in yourself, you might discover something beyond magical. Because we think with our limited mind, we think existence is limited and so we experience a limited sense of reality. Yet we have an internal longing for limitlessness. So if we can expand our sense of existence from our own consciousness to the infinite consciousness; from our small sense of self to the greater Self; if we can merge our own sense of self with the Cosmic Self, like a river merging with the sea. When one realises one’s small self as the Greater Self The Greater Self as one’s own self then we will experience the bliss — the infinite eternal happiness, we all long for. That’s self-realization. And the essence of that realization is the experience of exquisite happiness; infinite happiness; bliss… a sublime feeling beyond all worldly enjoyment. We are all on a journey to realizing that ultimate state of eternal bliss. There is every reason to be optimistic. And meditation is the way to do that. Meditation is the process of centering yourself on your inner self; of connecting to your true self. It’s not the imposition of any belief from outside yourself. It’s about you. It’s about finding the essence of yourself within yourself and realizing that essence as the inner self of all beings and the entire universe. Meditation is the core practice of the wider lifestyle called yoga. Yoga means to unify one’s individual consciousness with the infinite consciousness, your small self with the Greater Self. It’s an entirely internal process. And so, more than anything else, you can only experience it internally. Most of the ancient great mathematicians, scientists, doctors and economists in India were avid meditators. Enlightenment How long does it take to get enlightened? Enlightenment doesn’t happen in time; it happens in alignment. As soon as you understand that it takes no time at all. Time is an egoic concept. Enlightenment is beyond time. Enlightenment happens when you stop resisting life. By removing the obstacles that keep your consciousness bound, you give permission for life to flow through you, as you. How long that takes depends on how long you resist it. Purify yourself of your beliefs about enlightenment and the Truth will naturally and effortlessly reveal itself. Enlightenment is easy. Living it takes lots of courage and determination. ____________________________ To be comfortable with not knowing means to let your mind take control of your life It thinks it knows (always based on the past,) and then stay open to feeling “I don’t need to rely on my mind’s past conclusions, I don’t need to know what’s going to happen next. That’s just my mind’s control & survival trip. If you stop putting so much emphasis on mental knowing, you can be free to allow the adventure of life to unfold in unforeseen, miraculous ways, instead of just playing a pre-recorded tape from the past every day.’ Control is an illusion anyway. Consciousness just unfolds however it does, and our minds have no idea what’s going to happen next or what to do about it. Might as well let go and surrender to the wonder of discovery, that can only occur when we don’t know, when we stop thinking we know something. BIG “tip” here: The greatest single impediment to enlightenment is thinking we already know what enlightenment is and how it “happens” to a “person”. No kidding! The minute you stop believing your mind knows anything about enlightenment, you are 99% closer to enlightenment than you ever were before! A frequent declaration you’ll hear from truly enlightened beings is, “Before enlightenment, I knew so much. Now I’m enlightened, I know nothing.” The Moola Mantra (The Original Formula Or The Construct) Om Sat-Chit-Ananda Parabrahma Purushothama Paramatma Sri Bhagavathi Sametha Sri Bhagavathe Namaha Hari Om Tat Sat Whenever you chant this Vedic Sanskrit Mantra, even without knowing the meaning of it, that itself carries power. But when you know the meaning and chant it with feeling in your heart, then the energy will flow a million times more powerfully. It is therefore important to know the meaning of the Moola Mantra when you use it. This Mantra is like calling a name. Just like when you call a person he comes and makes you feel his presence, in the same manner when you chant this mantra the Supreme Energy manifests everywhere around you. As the Universe is omnipresent, this Supreme Energy can manifest anywhere and anytime. It is also very important to know that invocation of the Moola Mantra with deep humility, respect and with great necessity makes the Divine Presence stronger. OM OM has 100 different meanings. It is said, in the beginning was the Supreme word and the word created everything. That word is OM. If you are meditating in silence deeply, you can hear the sound OM within. The whole of creation emerged from the sound OM. It is the primordial sound or the Universal sound by which the whole universe vibrates. OM also means inviting the higher energy. This divine sound has the power to create, sustain and destroy, giving life and movement to all that exist. SAT means all penetrating existence that is formless, shapeless, omnipresent, attribute less, and quality less aspect of the Universe. It is the Unmanifest. It is experienced as emptiness of the Universe. We could say it is the body of the Universe that is static. Everything that has a form and that can be sensed, evolved out of this Un manifest. It is so subtle that it is beyond all perceptions. It can only be seen when it has become gross and has taken form. We are in the Universe and the Universe is in us. We are the effect and Universe is the cause and the cause manifests itself as the effect. CHIT is the Pure Consciousness of the Universe that is infinite, omni-present manifesting power of the Universe. Out of this is evolved everything that we call Dynamic energy or force. It can manifest in any form or shape. It is the consciousness manifesting as motion, as gravitation, as magnetism, etc. It is also manifesting as the actions of the body, as thought force. It is the Supreme Spirit. ANANDA means bliss, love and friendship nature of the Universe. When you experience either the Supreme Energy in this Creation (SAT) and become one with the Existence or experience the aspect of Pure Consciousness (CHIT), you enter into a state of Divine Bliss and eternal happiness (ANANDA). This is the primordial characteristic of the Universe, which is the greatest and most profound state of ecstasy that you can ever experience when you relate with your higher Consciousness. PARABRAHMA is the Supreme Being in his Absolute aspect; one who is beyond space and time. It is the essence of the Universe that is with form and without form. It is the Supreme creator. PURUSHOTHAMA has different meanings. Purusha means soul and Uthama means the supreme; the Supreme spirit. It also means the supreme energy of force guiding us from the highest world. Purusha also means Human, and PURUSHOTHAMA is the energy that incarnates as an Avatar to help and guide Mankind and relate closely to the beloved Creation. PARAMATMA means the supreme inner energy that is immanent in every creature and in all beings, living and non-living. It's the indweller or the Antaryamin who resides formless or in any form desired. It's the force that can come to you whenever you want and wherever you want to guide and help you. SRI BHAGAVATHI (The Goddess) SRI BHAGAVATHI is the Feminine aspect, which is characterized as the Supreme Intelligence in action, the Power (The Shakti). It is referred to the Mother Earth (Divine Mother) aspect of the creation. SAMETHA means together or in communion with. SRI BHAGAVATHE (The God) SRI BHAGAVTHE is the Masculine aspect of the Creation, which is unchangeable and permanent. NAMAHA is salutations or prostrations to the Universe that is OM and also has the qualities of SAT-CHIT-ANANDA, that is omnipresent, unchangeable and changeable at the same time, the supreme spirit in a human form and formless, the indweller that can guide and help in the feminine and masculine forms with the supreme intelligence. I seek your presence and guidance all the time. Conclusion Hoping that this will help to rekindle few souls and create peace in many hearts. True knowledge is like a headlight, it helps you to see things clearly and steer your path forward.
