THE SPIRITUAL AWARENESS OF KARMA

 

             

                                                                           ❤❤

                                 SPIRITUAL WAY TO 

                          UNDERSTAND THE KARMA 

                                                                      💫💫💫

                                     SPIRITUALITY AND FAST-FORWARD KARMA

                         ❤👇

                            WHEN YOU CONSCIOUSLY SEEK FREEDOM FROM KARMA THROUGH A SPIRITUAL PRACTICE, YOU ARE ESSENTIALLY ON FAST-FORWARD. WHEN YOU CHURN UP YOUR INNER LIFE, CERTAIN DIMENSIONS OF YOUR KARMA COME TO THE FORE. AT SUCH JUNCTURES, IT IS POSSIBLE TO EXPERIENCE INTENSE PAIN OR DISCOMFORT. OF COURSE, THIS COULD MEAN THAT YOU HAVE CONTRACTED SOME AILMENT. BUT, FREQUENTLY, THIS IS JUST YOUR PAST KARMA SURFACING AND MANIFESTING ITSELF IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.

                                                              💫💫💫

                           THE WHOLE POINT OF THE SPIRITUAL PROCESS IS TO TAKEN ON MORE OF A KARMIC LOAN THAN YOUR ALLOTED ONE IN ORDER TO FINISH OFF AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. IT MEANS YOU DO NOT WANT TO KEEP REPEATING THE SAME CYCLES AGAIN AND AGAIN. SO IF YOU ARE IN AN ACTIVE SPIRITUAL PROCESS, YOU MAY FIND EVERYTHING MOVING AT A BEWILDERING PACE. PHYSICAL TROUBLES THAT USED TO BESET YOU EVERY SIX MONTHS ARE NOW COMING UP EVERY SIX HOURS! THIS IS ONLY BECAUSE YOU HAVE CHOSEN TO WORK OUT YOUR KARMA AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. YOU ARE CHOOSING NOT TO LIVE A SANITIZED LIFE THAT REGARDS SPIRITUALLY AS MERE PLACIDITY.

                       ❤👇

                    IF YOUR KARMA WERE TO UNWIND SLOWLY, IT WOULD PROBABLY CREATE SMALL ACHES OVER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. BUT THE FAST-FORWARD OF KARMA OFTEN MEANS YOU MIGHT EXPERIENCE INTENSE PAIN FLEETINGLY. MANY PEOPLE HAVE BECOME LESS ALIVE AND LESS JOYFUL AND THEIR LIVES SLOWER AND MORE APATHETIC BECAUSE THEY EXPERIENCE LOW-LEVEL PAIN FOR STRETCHES OF TIME. A SPIRITUAL JOURNEY SIMPLY CRANMS UP THE PROCESS SO WHAT MIGHT HAVE SPREAD OVER THREE MONTHS OR A YEAR HAPPENS IN A FEW MINUTES.

                                                                    💫💫💫

                      IT IS IMPORTANT OF ALLOW THIS FAST-FORWARD KARMIC PROCESS TO HAPPEN. DO NOT SUPPRESS IT. IT IS WISEST TO LET YOUR PHYSICAL BODY BURN UP ALLOW ALLOTTED KARMA AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THE BASIS OF HATHA YOGA IS JUST THIS: YOU LEARN TO HANDLE PAIN IN THE SAME WAY AS YOU HANDLE PLEASURE. IT YOU LEARN THIS, YOU ACHIEVE AN EQUANIMITY THAT WILL CRY YOU BEYOND THE TURBULENCE OF THE KARMIC PROCESS.

                    ❤👇

                   IN YOGA, THE PRACTICE OF KRIYA OFTEN HASTENS THE KARMIC PROCESS WITHOUT INTERFERING WITH IT. WHEN YOU PUT CHEMICALS INTO THE SYSTEM, HOWEVER, YOU ARE CREATING ANOTHER KARMA FOR WHICH YOU PAY A PRICE IN THE FUTURE.

                                                                   💫💫💫

                       THOSE WHO ARE MEDITATIVE WILL EXPERIENCE DEEP LEVELS OF JOY. BUT THIS ALSO OPENS THEM UP TO DEEP LEVELS OF PAIN. THIS  PAIN IS ONLY FOR A SHORT DURATION, HOWEVER, BECAUSE THEIR HIGHER LEVELS OF AWARENESS ALLOWS THEM TO WORK IT OUT MORE QUICKLY. WHEN YOU GO INTO DEEPER LEVELS OF MEDITATION, IF YOU TAKE A SINGLE WRONG STEP, THE EFFECT MANIFESTS ITSELF IMMEDIATELY AND YOU WILL HAVE TO CORRECT IT,  BUT FOR THE PERSON WHO LIVES IN RELATIVE UNAWARENESS, THE PROCESS MAY BE SLOW BUT MUCH DEEPER. WHAT TAKES A LIFETIME COULD BE OVER ON THIS VERY DAY FOR THE SPIRITUALLY AWARE PERSON BECAUSE THEY IMMEDIATELY TAKE CORRECTIVE MEASURES.

                      ❤👇

                       IF YOU BECOME MEDITATIVE AND STILL CARRY NEGATIVTY, YOUR NEGATIVE KARMAS BECOME A THOUSAND TIMES MORE POWERFUL BECAUSE YOU HAVE BECOME THAT MUCH MORE SENSTIVIE AND RECEPTIVE. SUPPOSE YOU CULTIVATE THE SOIL AND ENRICH IT WITH MANURE.  THE CROPS WILL GROW WELL, BUT THE SAME MANURE WILL ALSO ENABLE WEEDS TO GROW. SIMILARLY, WHEN YOU CULTIVATE A MEDITATIVE STATE AND ALLOW NEGATIVE EMOTIONS TO FOURISH, INNER SUFFERING INCREASES DRAMATICALLY. IT IS IMPORTANT TO BE EXTRA CAUTIONS ABOUT WEEDING WHEN YOU ARE IN SUCH A STATE. OTHERWISE YOU WILL BE LEFT WITH A FOREST OF WEEDS AND NO CROP!

                                                                 💫💫💫

                    THE REASON THOSE ON THE SPIRITUAL PATH HAVE A DAILY PRACTICE IS JUST THIS, TO ENSURE THAT KARMIC STAGNATION DOES NOT HAPPEN. YOU MAY ALREADY HAVE NOTICED THAT IF YOU HAVE A DAILY PRACTICE AND YOU STOP IT FOR SIX MONTHS, MANY RECURRENT ISSUES - PHYSICAL, PSYCHOLOGICAL, AND SOCIAL - THAT HAVE NOT BOTHERED YOU FOR A WHILE START RETURNING. THIS IS HOW THE KARMIC CYLCE WORKS. YOU MAY HAVE BELIEVED YOU WERE TRANSFORMED, BUT YOU WILL SUDDENLY FIND ALL KINDS OF COMPULSIVE BEHAVIORS RETURNING WITH A VENGEANCE. ONLY PRACTICE, OR SADHANA, HELPS BREAK THE CYCLICAL MOVEMENT OF LIFE.

FREE FROM KARMIC RULES

 

                    

                              HOW TO BECOME FREE FROM

                                             KARMA

                                                               💫💫💫

                                            ❤ SADHANA❤

                

                           IT IS IMPORTANT TO REMIND YOURSELF AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE THAT EVERYTHING YOU CONSIDER TO BE YOURSELF IS AN ACQUIRED IDENTITY.

                          ONE SIMPLE WAY TO APPROACH THIS REALIZATION IS TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE PHYSICALLY EXHAUSED EVERY NIGHT BEFORE YOU HEAD OFF ON BED. YOU WILL ALWAYS SLEEP WELL AND DEEPLY. MANY SUPERFLOUS IDEAS ABOUT YOURSELF WILL FALL AWAY, AND SO SLEEP OF THIS KIND CAN ALSO BE KARMICALLY REJUVENATING.

                                                                         ☺

                         BUT THERE IS A MORE CONSCIOUS EXERCISE YOU COULD PERFORM. EVERY NIGHT, SIT ON YOUR BED, PREFERABLY CROSS-LEGGED, WITH YOUR EYES CLOSED. REMIND YOURSELF THAT ALL MEMORY IS ACCUMULATION. EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU IS ACQUIRED. YOUR IDEAS OF NATIONALITY, RACE, RELIGION, ALL YOUR RELATIONSHIPS OF LIKE AND DISLIKE, LOVE AND HATE.

                  SLOWLY, GENTLY, START SETTING ASIDE EVERYTHING WITH WHICH YOU HAVE A RELATIONSHIP. THIS COULD MEAN SETTING ASIDE PEOPLE, AS WELL AS YOUR MATERIAL POSSESSIONS. REMIND YOURSELF THAT EVEN YOUR BODY IS AN ACCUMULATION.

                                                      ☺

                       IMAGINE THAT YOU ARE ON YOUR DEATHBED AND THAT YOU ARE GOING TO DIE IN TWO MINITES. PUT AWAY EVERYTHING THAT IS NOT YOU - YOUR SENSATIONS, THOUGHTS, AND EMOTIONS. SEE YOUR SLEEP AS IMPENDING DEATH. YOU MAY FEEL A CERTAIN FEAR AND STRUGGLE WITHIN YOU INITIALLY. BUT IT WILL PASS. LEAVE YOUR BODY SITTING AND SIMPLY LIE BACK WITH YOUR EYES CLOSED. GO TO BED LIKE THIS.

                        IF YOU DO THIS EACH NIGHT, A GREAT DEAL OF KARMA CAN BE WORKED POUT EACH NIGHT. IF YOU FALL ASLEEP AS IF YOU'RE DYING, YOU WILL SEE THAT YOUR KARMA BARELY HAS ANY IMPACT ON YOU. YOU WILL FIND OVER TIME THAT YOU ARE MOVING FROM COMPULSIVE BEHAVIOR TO A CONSCIOUS EXISTENCE.

                    YOU WILL REBORN DAILY.

                                                       ☺

                        THE PHYSICAL WORLD IS A PRODUCT OF POLARITIES, MASCULINE AND FEMININE, YIN AND YANG, IDA AND PINGALA, SHIVA AND SHAKTI, RIGHT BRAIN AND LEFT BRAIN. THE LONGING TO FIND THE UNION OF POLARITIES FINDS EXPRESSION THROUGH AMBITION, CONQUEST, LOVE, SEX AND YOGA.

                       YOGA, AS WE ALL KNOW, MEANS UNION. THE SIMPLEST FORM OF YOGA IS TO PUT YOUR HANDS TOGETHER IN NAMASKAR. NAMASKAR BRINGS HARMONY BETWEEN THE TWO POLARITIES WITHIN YOU. TRY PUTTING YOUR HANDS TOGETHER, BRINGING BOTH PALMS TOGETHER IN PROPER ALINGNMENT, AND LOOKING AT SOMEONE OR SOMETHING WITH LOVING ATTENTION. IN THREE TO FIVE MINUTES, YOU WILL BEGIN TO HARMONIZE.

                                   

                                                          ☺

                          NAMASKAR YOURSELF INTO PEACE. NAMASKAR YOURSELF INTO LOVE. NAMASKAR YOURSELF INTO UNION. LET US PUT OUR HANDS TOGETHER AND INITE THE WORLD. MAY YOU UNFOLD YOU BEING WITH FOLDED HANDS.

HOW YOU FEEL AFTER KARMA ?

 

                           

                                THE HUMAN BODY 

                                            AFTER KARMA

                                                               💫💫💫

                      ❤👀

                          HOW DO ENLIGHTENED BEINGS SURVIVE? IT IS POSSIBLE TO RETAIN THE PHYSICAL BODY AFTER BREAKING THE KARMIC BUBBLE? IT IS POSSIBLE TO LIVE AFTER BURNING ALL ALL ONE'S KARMA?

                    IT IS, BUT IT TAKES ENGINEERING. SINCE ENLIGHTENED BEINGS NO LONGER HAVE A KARMIC FOOTPRINT, IT IS VERY DIFFICULT FOR THEM TO RETAIN A PHYSICAL FORM. YOGIS HAVE VARIOUS TRICKS TO ACCOMPLISH THIS. ONE OPTION IS TO PERFORM CONSCIOUS KARMA TO RETAIN THE BODY. MANY MYSTICS DOWN THE AGES HAVE DONE THIS. OTHERWISE, THE TEMPTATION TO LEAVE THE BODY IS VERY STRONG ONCE THE KARMIC BUBBLE HAS BURST.

                      ❤👀

                       DIFFERENT YOGIS HAVE CREATED DIFFERENT METHODS. MANY HAVE MAINTAINED SOME SIMPLE CONSCIOUS ATTACHMENTS, EITHER TOWARD A SPIRITUAL MISSION OR TOWARD FOOD. THESE ARE SIMPLE DESIRES THAT THEY CAN DROP AT ANY TIME. THOSE AROUND THEM HAVE OFTEN BEEN CONFOUNDED BY THEIR BEHAVIOR. HOW COULD SOMEONE SO SPIRITUALLY ELEVATED BE ATTACHED TO SOMETHING SO WORLDLY? BUT IT IS USUALLY A CONSCIOUS NEED TO CREATE KARMA IN ORDER TO RETAIN THE PHYSICAL BODY.

                                                   ☺

                 SOON AFTER THE CONSECRATION OF THE DHYANALINGA, MY ENERGY BODY WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED. I HAD USED IT INTENSELY AND FREELY, AND IT WAS UNFIT TO CONTINUE LIFE IN ANY WAY. MEDICALLY, I WAS A WALKING DISASTER. LUMPS WOULD MANIFEST IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF MY BODY, BUT TEN DAYS LATER THEY WOULD BE GONE. I WOULD GO FOR A BLOOD TEST ONE DAY, AND DOCTORS WOULD DIAGNOSE VARIOUS BIZARRE DISEASES. BUT A MONTH LATER, THERE WOULD BE NO EVIDENCE OF THESE. I WAS DOING MY BEST TO RESTORE THE ENERGY BODY, BUT I ALSO SOUGHT MEDICAL DIAGNOSES TO FIND OUT THE EXTENT TO PHYSICAL DAMAGE.

                   ❤👀

                 THERE IS NO WAY I COULD HAVE SUSTAINED MY LIFE AT THIS TIME HAD I NOT LINKED MY ENERGY BODY TO THE ENERGY SYSTEMS OF SOME OTHER BEINGS. I SELDOM TALK ABOUT THE DETAILS BECAUSE IT WOULD SOME LIKE SOME FAIRYTALE. BUT I MENTION THIS HERE TO GIVE YOU A SENSE OF JUST HOW SOPHISTICATED THE ENTIRE SCIENCE OF THE ENERGY BODY IS.

                                                     ☺

                        EXISTENTIALLY, NO DISTINCTION EXISTS BETWEEN THE LIFE OF ONE BEING AND THAT OF ANOTHER. BUT PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY, THERE IS, OF COURSE, SEPARATENESS. BY LINKING THE TWO ON AN ENERGY LEVEL, YOU CAN CREATE A CERTAIN LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR YOURSELF. THAT IS WHAT IS DID UNTIL I FIXED MY PHYSICAL BODY. IT TOOK ME A LONG TIME, BECAUSE I MAITAINED A HECTIC WORKD SCHEDULE THROUGH IT ALL.

                       ❤👀

                       MIXING UP ONE'S LIFE ENERGIES WITH THOSE OF OTHERS IS A WAY OF EXTENDING ONE'S LIFE OR ELSE OF AVERTING CERTAIN KARMIC EVENTS.  IN THE FIRST SIX MONTHS OF 2005, FOR INSTANCE, IT WAS CLEAR TO ME THAT I WOULD HAVE A MAJOR INJURY IN RIGHT SHOULDER. THIS WAS NOT AN INJURY THAT COULD BE AVOIDED BY BEING CAREFUL. IT WAS AN INEVITABILITY. BY MIXING MY ENERGY BODY WITH THOSE OF OTHERS, HOWEVER, I WAS ABLE TO CONFUSE THE KARMIC PROCESS, AS IT WERE, AVERT IT.

                                                     ☺

                      IT IS POSSIBLE TO EXTEND THE HUMAN FORM FOR A VERY LONG TIME IF ONE KNOWS HER. THE EAST IS REPLETE WITH STORIES OF YOGIS WHO HAVE LIVED FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS. THESE ARE DISMISSED AS EXAGERATIONS TODAY, BUT A VERY AUTHENTIC ARCANE SCIENCE OF LONGEVITY MAKES THIS POSSIBLE. THE QUESTION, HOWEVER, IS, WHY EXTEND HUMAN LIFE FOR NO REASON? IT REQUIRES MUCH MANIPULATION OF LIFE ENERGY, WHICH INCURS ITS OWN SHARE OF KARMA, IT IS NOT ADVISABLE TO MEDDLE WITH LIFE ON THAT LEVEL UNLESS THERE IS A SPECIFIC PURPOSE FOR IT.

                  ❤👀

                 THERE IS A WELL-KNOWN INCIDENT OF A MYSTIC WHO SAT AND MEDITATED ON THE BANKS OF THE RIVER GANGA IN INDIA. ONE DAY, THERE WAS A FLOOD. HE CONTINUED TO MEDITATE AND WAS BURIED UNDER THE EARTH, SIX MONTHS LATER, WHEN CULTIVATORS WERE PLOWING THE LAND, THEY ACCIDENTALLY HIT HIS HEAD. HIS HEAD WAS WOUNDED AND STARTED BLEEDING. AMAZED, THEY DUG FARTHER AND FOUND THE MEDITATING YOGA. HE SIMPLY GOT UP AND WALKED AWAY.

                                                  ☺

                    NOW, THIS YOGA WAS "HIBERNATING" UNDERGROUND IN AN ALTERED STATE OF CONSCIOUSNESS IN ORDER TO EXTEND HIS LIFE. HE KNEW HIS PHYSICAL BODY HAD COME TO ITS END. AT THE SAME TIME, CERTAIN KARMIC BONDAGES REMAINED. HE DID NOT WANT TO GIVE UP THE PHYSICAL BODY AND RETURN ONCE MORE IN ANOTHER LIFETIME TO WORK OUT HIS KARMA . SO HE DECIDED TO EXTEND HIS LIFE FOR A WHILE SO HE COULD FINISH HIS ALLOTTED KARMA ONCE AND FOR ALL.

FROM BIRTH TO DEATH - THE KARMA

 

                             THE KARMIC - CYCLE

                                                            💫💫💫

                          ONE CAN KNOW MANY THINGS ABOUT A CHILD AT BIRTH. MOST PEOPLE NOTICE THAT SOME INFANTS ARE BRIGHT-EYED AND OBSERVANT, OTHERS SEEM QUIETER, SOME MOVE THEIR LIMBS MORE, OTHERS ARE LESS ACTIVE. 

                       TRADITIONALLY, IN INDIA, WITHIN THE FIRST ELEVEN DAYS OF THEIR CHILD'S BIRTH, PARENTS OFTEN TOOK THE INFANT TO A YOGI OR SEER FOR A BLESSING. THIS IS BECAUSE THE KARMIC SUBSTANCE IS STILL FLUID AT THIS STAGE. BEFORE THE BABY'S PERSONALITY BEGINS TO GET CONSOLIDATED, THEY WANT A BLESSING THAT CAN ENSURE THAT THE CHILD'S LIFE JOURNEY WILL BE A SMOOTH AND SEAMLESS ONE.

                                                             💫💫💫

                      THE ACTUAL KARMIC JOURNEY BEGINS EVEN BEFORE THAT SOMEWHERE BETWEEN FORTY AND FORTY-EIGHT DAYS AFTER CONCEPTION, THE KARMIC FIBER BEGINS TO TIGHTEEN. IT IS LIKE A SPRING COIL. DEPENDING ON PAST INFORMATION, THE STRENGTH OF THE PHYSICAL BODY, THE NATURE OF THE PARENT, THE TYPE OF CONCEPTION, AND VARIOUS OTHER FACTORS, THE KARMIC FIBER CHOOSES A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF INFORMATION THAT WINDS ITSELF INTO A COILED SPRING.

                                         KARMA AND MEMORY LOSS

                                              ☺☺☺

                          MODERN MEDICINE HAS MADE IT POSSIBLE FOR US TO LIVE LONGER THAN A PREVIOUS GENERATION COULD HAVE EVER IMAGINED. THIS IS WONDERFUL. HOWEVER, TO LENGTHEN THE LIFE OF THE PHYSICAL BODY WITHOUT TAKING CARE OF THE KARMIC FIBER IS LOPSIDERED DEVELOPMENT. WE NOW HAVE A CERTAIN MASTERY OVER BIOCHEMISTRY AND ARE CAPABLE OF USING MEDICINE AND SURGERY TO PROLONG THE LIFE SPAN. BUT THE RUB IS THAT MODERN MEDICINE KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT KARMA.

                                                                  💫💫💫

                      THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS FOR THE UPSWING IN THE NUMBER OF OLDER PEOPLE LOSING THEIR MENTAL FACULTIES. THE HARDWARE IS FORTIFIED AND STRENGTHENED, BUT NO SOFTWARE EXISTS. THIS IS LIKE HAVING A THE "DUMB" COMPUTRE, CAPABLE OF EXISTING IN ITS MATERIALITY, BUT INCAPABLE OF FUNCTIONING.

                      THE ADVANCES IN MEDICINE ARE NOT TO BE DERIDEA. MUCH  HAS BEEN ACHIEVED. HOWEVER, WITHOUT NEW KARMIC SUBSTANCES, THE BODY IS AN EMPTY SHELL. EVEN IF YOU REPLACE A HEART, A KIDNEY, HIPS, SHOULDERS, ELBOWS, AND EVERY OTHER MOVING PART IN THE BODY AND CREATE A NEW BIONIC INDIVIDUAL, THE HUMAN BEING CANNOT FUNCTION WITHOUT KARMA.

                   IF OUR PURSUIT OF EXTERNAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY WERE ACCOMPANIED BY A PURSUIT OF INNER WELL-BEING, THIS WOULD BE LESS OF AN ISSUE. BUT ENHANCING THE PHYSICAL WITHOUT FINDING ACCESS TO THE NONPHYSICAL DIMENSION IS THE FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEM.

                       ONCE YOU KNOW HOW TO OPEN UP THE WAREHOUSE OF ACCUMULATED KARMA (SANCHITA), YOU WILL ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO GENERATE MORE THAN ENOUGH SOFTWARE. EVEN IF YOUR PHYSICAL BODY WERE TO ENDURE FOR A THOUSAND YEARS, YOU WOULD NOT LOSE YOUR MIND, BECAUSE THERE WOULD BE SOFTWARE ENOUGH TO SUSTAIN IT.

                                                                 💫💫💫

                    IF YOU CULTIVATED THE SPIRITUAL LIFE, YOU WOULD HAVE ANOTHER OPTION , TOO. ONCE YOUR SOFTWARE STARTS DIMINISHING, YOU WOULD HAVE THE FREEDOM AND BALANCE TO KNOW WHEN TO SHED YOUR HARDWARE. IN OTHER WORDS, YOU WOULD KNOW WHEN AND HOW TO WALK OUT OF THE PHYSICAL BODY. YOU WOULD EXIT BEFORE YOU ARE EVACUATED.

                                            AVADHUTAS : BEINGS OF BLISS

                                               ☺☺☺ 

                                                                   

                        THE PURPOSE OF YOGA IS TO OPEN UP VARIOUS SPACES WITHOUT YOU THAT ARE NOT YOU. INITIALLY, THIS DIMENTION OF NOT YOU MAY BE JUST A SPECK. GRADUALLY, AS YOU NURTURE IT WITH PRACTICE OR START CLEARING KARMIC DEBRIS, THIS SPACE STARTS EXPANDING. A DAY COMES WHEN THIS SPACE OCCUPIES EVERYTHING WITHIN YOU.

                       ❤👀

                      THAT IS WHEN WE CAN SAY YOU HAVE BECOME TRULY MEDITATIVE. YOU ARE NOW IN A STATE OF EQUANIMITY - OF SAMADHI - WHEN THE DANCE OF DUALITY NO LONGER TOUCHES YOU. YOU CAN PLAY THE EXTERNAL GAME IF YOU WANT. OTHERWISE, INTERNALLY, YOU ARE FINE FINE JUST AS YOU ARE, YOU ARE NOT IDENTIFIED WITH THE GAME OF ME AND YOU ANYMORE.

 

                         THOSE WHOSE LIMITED IDENTIFICATIONS HAVE DROPPED AWAY SO COMPLETELY THAT THEY ARE UNABLE TO FUNCTION IN THE OUTSIDE WORLD ARE KNOWN AS AVADHUTAS IN SANSKRIT. AVADHUTAS ARE MYSTICS WHO HAVE JOURNEYED SO FAR BEYOND WORLDLY CONSCIOUSNESS THAT THEY TURN UTTERLY CHILDLIKE. THEY ARE SOMETIMES EVEN PERCEIVED AS CRAZY. THEY HAVE DROPPED THE INTELLECT SO COMPLETELY THAT THEY DO NOT KNOW HOT TO SURVIVE IN THE OUTSIDE WORLD AND HAVE TO BE LOOKED AFTER.

                     ❤👀

                      SUCH INTERNAL STATES MAY NOT LAST FOREVER, BUT THEY DO LAST FOR LENGTHS OF TIMES, SOMETIMES FOR YEARS. THESE ARE BLISSFUL AND WONDERFUL STATES, BUT SOCIAL SITUATIONS NEED TO BE SUPPORTIVE FOR PEOPLE IN SUCH CONDITIONS, BECAUSE THEY CANNOT LOOK AFTER THEMSELVES. TRADITIONALLY, HOWEVER, SUCH PEPLE WERE CELEBRATED IN INDIA. THERE HAVE BEEEN AVADHUTAS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY, WONDERFUL BEINGS WHO HAVE BEE REVERED FOR CENTURIES AFTER THEIR TIME.

                          FOR SMALL PERIODS OF TIME, IT IS GOOD FOR PEOPLE TO GO INTO THESE STATES. IT IS A BIT LIKE SWEEPING THE LOWEST FLOOR OF YOUR. KARMIC STRUCTURE. IT TAKES ENORMOUS AWARENESS TO REACH TO DEEP WITHIN YOURSELF AND UNDERTAKE SUCH CLEANING. BUT IN THIS KIND OF STATE, ONE CAN REACH THE BOTTOM VERY EASILY. AN AVADHUTA IS IN SUCH A STATE OF BLISS THAT THEY HAVE NO KARMA, NO BONDAGE, AND EVERYTHING IS NATURALLY CLEANED UP FOR THEM. SO YOGIS SOMETIMES REMAIN IN SUCH STATES FOR PERIODS BECAUSE IT IS THE QUICKEST PATH TO LIBERATION.

                         ❤👀

                         HOWEVER, AT THE TIME OF LEAVING THE BODY, A YOGI WILL EMERGE FROM THIS STATE. THIS IS BECAUSE IT TAKES AWARENESS TO RELINQUISH THE BODY. THE KEY THING IS TO LEAVE THE BODY IN A STATE OF CONSCIOUSNESS, WITHOUT CREATING FURTHER KARMA.

THE BLUE PRINT OF KARMA

 

                   THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 

                            GOOD KARMA  👀 AND

                                 👀  BAD KARMA

                             WHAT IS KARMA ?

                            LITERALLY, THE WORD MEANS ACTION.

                        UNFORTUNATELY, MOST PEOPLE HAVE UNDERSTOOD ACTIONS IN TERMS OF GOOD AND BAD DEEDS. THEY SEE KARMA AS A BALANCE SHEET OF MERITS AND DEMERITS, VIRTUES AND SINS. A LIFE AUDIT OF SORTS. TO OTHERS, IT IS A LADGER MAINTAINED BY SOME DIVINE CHARTERED ACCOUNTANT WHO ASSINGS SOME PEOPLE TO CELESTIAL BLISS AND CONSIGNS OTHERS TO A NETHER WORLD OR INTO THE MAW OF SOME RECYLING MACHINE THAT SPEWS THEM BACK INTO THIS WORLD TO SUFFER SOME MORE.

                  THIS IS NOT MERELY FALSE AND ABSURD. IT IS TRAGIC. 

                THIS THIS NOTION HAS CREATED GENERATIONS OF PUZZLED AND FEARFUL HUMAN BEINGS WHO USE THE TERM INDISCRIMINATELY, WITHOUT A CLUE OF WHAT IT MEANS. IT HAS SPAWNED A BRAND OF FATALISM THAT HAS PARALYSED VAST SEGMENTS OF PEOPLE AND HAS BEEN USED TO VALIDATE SOCIAL INJUSTICES AND POLITICAL TYRANNIES OF VARIOUS KINDS. IT HAS ALSO LED TO MUCH SPURIOUS PHILOSOPHIZING AND EMPTY ACADAMIC DEBATE AND HAS, OF COURSE, BOOSTED THE FORTUNE-TELLING INDUSTRY! 

                         LET US SHATTER THE FIRST MYTH.

                         IN ACTUAL FACT, KARMA HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH REWARD AND PUNISHMENT. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SOME DESPOTIC LIFE AUDITOR UP IN THE SKY, WORKING WITH PRIMITIVE DEVICES OF CARROT AND STICK. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH A BENIGN GOD UP IN THE HEAVEN. NOTHING TO DO WITH DIVINE RETRIBUTION. NOTHING TO DO WITH VIRTUE ANS SIN, GOOD AND EVIL, GOD AND MR.LUCIFER.

                    KARMA SIMPLY MEANS WE HAVE CREATED THE BLUEPRINT FOR OUT LIVES. IT MEANS WE ARE THE MAKERS OF OUR OWN FATE. WHEN WE SAY "THIS IS MY KARMA", WE ARE ACTUALLY SAYING, " I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR MY LIFE".

                   KARMA IS ABOUT BECOMING THE SOURCE OF ONE'S OWN CREATION. IN SHIFTING RESPONSIBILITY FROM HEAVEN TO ONESELF, ONE BECOMES THE VERY MAKER OF ONE'S DESTINY.

                     KARMA IS THE NATURAL BASIS OF ALL EXISTENCE. IT IS NOT A LAW THAT IS IMPOSED FROM ABOVE. IT DOES NOT ALLOW US TO OUTSOURCE OUR RESPONSIBILITY ANYWHERE ELSE, IT DOES NOL ALLOW US TO BLAME OUR PARENTS, OUR TEACHERS, OUR COUNTRIES, OUR POLITICIANS, OUR GODS, OR OUR FATES. IT MAKES EACH ONE OF US SQUARELY RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR OWN DESTINIES AND, ABOVE ALL, THE NATURE OF OUR EXPERIENCE OF LIFE. 

                    SO THE ONLY RELEVANT QUESTION HERE IS, ARE YOU READY FOR KARMA?

                    ARE YOU READY TO HEAR ABOUT A DIMENSION THAT IS SO EMPOWERING THAT IT TELLS YOU THAT YOU ARE FULLY CAPABLE OF TAKING THE REINS OF YOUR LIFE INTO YOUR OWN HANDS?

                      IF NOT, READ NO FURTHER.

                     IF YOU ARE WILLING, AND IF YOU ARE CURIOUS TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT HOW THIS MECHANISM WORKS, THIS BOOK COULD BE YOUR KEY. AND YOU NEED TO DO AFTER THIS IS TO FIRE UP YOUR ENGINE AND SET OFF ON YOUR NEW LIFE JOURNEY. ONCE YOU ARE AT THE WHEEL, YOUR EXPERIENCE OF THE RIDE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN.

                      IT IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER ONE THING, HOWEVER. KARMA IS NOT  DOCTRINE. YOU DO NOT GET ABY BROWNIE POINTS FOR SUBSCRIBING TO IT. YOU DO NOT GET ANY NEGATIVE MARKS FOR DISBELIEVING IT. KARMA IS NOT A CREED, A SCRIPTURE, AN IDEOLOGY, A PHILOSOPHY, OR A THEORY. IT IS SIMPLY THE WAY THINGS ARE. IT IS AN EXISTENTIAL MECHANISM, LIKE THE SUN, IT OPERATES WHETHER YOU ACKNOLEDGE IT OR NOT, WHETHER YOU PAY OBEISANCE TO IT OR IGNORE. IT IS NOT LOOKING FOR A FAN CLUB.

                   IT SIMPLY TURNS YOU FROM A WHILE-KNUCKLED, TERROR-STRUCK PASSENGER IN THE BACKSEAT INTO A CONFIDENT DRIVER, IN CHARGE OF THE WHEEL, JOYFULLY NAVIGATING THE COURSE OF YOUR OWN DESTINY.

HAVE YOU KNOW ABOUT KARMA?

 

                                            THE KARMA

                                                                      ❤❤

                                                                  💫💫💫

                             KARMA IS ABOUT BECOMING THE SOURCE OF ONE'S OWN

                                   CREATION. IN SHIFTINGRESPONSIBILITY FROM

                            HEAVEN TO ONESELF, ONE BECOMES THE VERY MAKER

                                    OF ONE'S DESTINY.

                                                                   💫💫💫

                    WHY DO SOME PEOPLE SUFFER MORE THAN OTHERS?

                                                                 👀👀👀

                   👉👀

                             WHY DIDN'T THE UNIVERSE CREATE EVERYONE EQUAL? WHY ARE SOME DISABLED, AND OTHERS ABLE-BODIED? WHY ARE SOME POOR, AND OTHERS RICH? IF THERE IS A GOD, WHY DIDN'T HE CREATE EVERYONE EQUAL? WHY COULDN'T EVERYON CARRY POSITIVE KARMA? WHY COULDN'T EVERYONE CARRY POSITIVE KARMA? WHY COULDN'T EVERYONE HAVE THE SAME SOFTWARE? WHAT IS THE POINT OF ALL THIS TERRIBLE INEQUALITY?

 

                       THESE ARE QUESTIONS THAT HAVE PLAGUED HUMAN BEINGS SINCE THE DAWN OF TIME.

                  👉👀

                      NOW PAUSE THE EXAMINE THIS WITH ABSOLUTE CLARITY.

                    IF YOU DO, YOU WILL SEE THAT THE PRIMARY CAUSE OF HUMAN SUFFERING IS NOT PHYSICAL HANDICAP OR POVERTY. THE CAUSE OF HUMAN SUFFERING IS ONESELF.

                      LET US FIRST MAKE THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN PAIN AND SUFFERING. PAIN IS PHYSICAL. PAIN IS PRODUCED WHENEVER THERE IS ANY INJURY TO THE BODY. PAIN IS THE BODY'S WAY OF ALERTING YOU THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG, THAT ACTION MUST BE TAKEN. PAIN IS USEFUL. IT IS A VALUABLE WAKE-UP CALL. SUFFERING, ON THE OTHER HAND, IS PSYCHOLOGICAL. IT IS PRODUCED BY YOU. IT IS A HUNDRED SELF-MANUFACTURED. YOU DON'T HAVE A CHOICE ABOUT BEING IN PAIN, BUT YOU DO HAVE A CHOICE ABOUT SUFFERING. YOU CAN ALWAYS CHOOSE NOT TO SUFFER.

              👉👀

                  LET US LOOK AT THIS CLOSELY. A THOUSAND YEARS AGO, PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD LIVED QUITE HAPPILY IN MODEST DWELLINGS. THAT WAS NOT A PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM TODAY IS THAT SOMEONE LIVES IN A MANSION, AND SOMEONE ELSE LIVES IN A ONE-BEDROOM APARTMENT. THAT IS THE SOURCE OF THE LATTER'S SUFFERING. SOMEONE HAS THREE CARS, AND SOMEONE ELSE HAS ONE. THAT IS THE SOURCE OF THE LATTER'S SUFFERING. SOMEONE VACATIONS ABROAD, AND SOMEONE ELSE DOESN'T. THAT IS THE SOURCE OF THE LATTER'S SUFFERING.

                  SO IT IS NOT THE PHYSICAL SITUATION THAT CAUSES MISERY. IT IS THE WAY YOU REACT TO IT. YOUR KARMA IS NOT IN WHAT IS HAPPENING TO YOU, YOU KARMA IS IN THE WAY YOU RESPOND TO WHAT IS HAPPENING TO YOU. HUMAN BEINGS COULD NOT GET INTO COLLEGE, SO THEY SUFFER. SOMEONE ELSE GETS INTO COLLEGE AND CAN'T GET OUT, SO THEY SUFFER! SOMEONE CANNOT GET A JOB, SO THEY SUFFER. SOMEONE IS GIVEN A JOB, AND NOW THEY SUFFER EVEN MORE. SOMEONE IS GIVEN A JOB, AND NOW THEY SUFFER EVEN MORE. SOMEONE ISN'T MARRIED, SO THEY SUFFER. SOMEONE GETS MARRIED, AND THEY ARE IN AGONY! SOMEONE HAS NO CHILDREN , SO THEY SUFFER. SOMEONE HAS CHILDREN, AND SO THEY ARE IN CONSTANT TORMENT. YOUR SUFFERING IS NOT BECAUSE OF YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES. YOUR SUFFERING IS BECAUSE OF THE WAY YOU HAVE MADE YOURSELF. AND THAT IS WHAT YOU NEED TO LOOK AT.

                      BUT WHAT ABOUT FATE AND FORTUNE? WHAT ABOUT THE ENDLESS DEBATE BETWEEN FREE WILL AND DESTINY? THESE QUESTIONS STILL VEX MANY PEOPLE.

                    IN THE EAST , WE SIMPLY SAY "YOUR LIFE IS YOUR KARMA. "THIS MEANS THAT HOW MUCH KARMA YOU CAN TAKE INTO YOUR HANDS DEPENDS ON HOW MUCH OF YOU HAS BECOME CONSCIOUS. IF YOU HAVE MASTERY OVER YOUR PHYSICAL BODY, FIFTEEN TO TWENTY PERCENT OF YOUR LIFE AND DESTINY WILL BE IN YOUR HANDS. IF YOU HAVE MASTERY OVER YOUR PSYCHOLOGICAL PROCESS, FIFTY TO SIXTY PERCENT OF YOUR LIFE AND DESTINY WILL BE IN YOUR HANDS. IF YOU HAVE MASTERY OVER YOUR VERY LIFE ENERGIES, A HUNDRED PERCENT OF YOUR LIFE AND DESTINY COULD BE IN YOUR HANDS.

                   SUPPOSE I PLANT A MANGO SEED. CAN I EXPECT THAT COCONUTS WILL FALL OUT OF THE MANGO TREE WHEN IT GROWS UP? CAN I EXPECT CHERRIES OR APPLES? NOW, THAT OBVIOUSLY WOULD BE ABSURD. IF YOU PLANT A MANGO SEED, YOU CAN EXPECT ONLY MANGOES. THAT MUCH IS DETERMINED BY THE SEED. BUT THERE ARE OTHER CONSIDERATIONS OVER WHICH WILL BE THE QUALITY OF THE MANGOES? HOW LONG WILL IT YIELD THEM? OVER THESE FACTORS, YOU CERTAINLY DO HAVE CONTROL.

                    WHAT MOST PEOPLE CALL LUCK IS JUST YOUR ABILITY TO BE AT THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME. MANY OF YOUR CAPABILITIES ARE STILL UNCONSCIOUS, SO YOU DO NOT HAVE COMPLETE CONTROL OVER THE KIND OF CIRCUMSTANCES YOU ATTRACT. BUT THERE IS SOMETHING OVER WHICH YOU DO HAVE CONTROL, HOW YOU REACT TO WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU.

THE DEFINITION OF MAYA

 

                                          THE MAYA

                                                                  💫💫

                            VISITORS FROM BEYOND

                                                                           👀👀👀

                             WHATEVER STATE OF BEING ONE REMEMBERS WHEN HE 

                      QUITE HIS BODY, THAT STATE HE WILL ATTAIN WITHOUT FAIL.

                                                                                            -----  BHAGAVAD GITA

                    👉❤

                            AS THE SOUL SETS OUT ON ITS MYSTERIOUS JOURNEY AFTER DEATH, IT MAY, ACCORDING TO THE TRADITIONS OF THE WORLD'S GREAT RELIGIONS, MEET WITH BEINGS FROM OTHER LEVELS OF REALITY - ANGELS WHO HELP IT, OR JUDGES WHO WEIGH ITS GOOD AND EVIL DEEDS ON THE SCALES OF COSMIC JUSTICE. A VARIETY OF RELIGIOUS ART OBJECTS, SPANNING THE ENTIRE RANGE ART OBJECTS , SPANNING THE ENTIRE RANGE OF MAN'S CULTURAL HISTORY, DEPICT SUCH SCENCES. A PAINTING ON A FRAGMENT OF ETRUSCAN POTTERY SHOWS AN ANGELIC FIGURE ATTENDING A FALLEN WARRIOR. A CHRISTIAN MOSAIC FROM THE MIDDLE AGES SHOWS A GRIM ST. MICHAEL, THE SCALES OF JUSTICE IN HIS HANDS. MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCES OFTEN REPORT ENCOUNTERING SUCH BEINGS.

 

                          ALL OF THESE BODIES ARE LIKE THE BODIES WE EXPERIENCE IN DREAMS. WHEN A MAN GOES TO SLEEP, HE FORGETS HIS REAL IDENTITY AND MAY DREAM THAT HE HAS BECOME A KING. HE CANNOT REMEMBER WHAT HE WAS DOIG BEFORE HE WENT TO SLEEP, HE CAN IMAGINE WHAT HE WILL DO UPON  WAKING. IN THE SAME WAY, WHEN A SOULD IDENTIFIES WITH A TEMPORARY MATERIAL BODY, HE FORGETS HIS REAL SPIRITUAL IDENTITY, AS WELL AS ANY PREVIOUS LIVES IN THE MATERIAL WORLD, ALTHOUGH MOST SOULS IN A HUMAN BODY HAVE ALREADY TRANSMIGRATED THROUGH ALL 8,400,000 SPECIES OF LIFE.

                   👉❤

                    THE LIVING ENTITY THUS TRANSMIGRATES FROM ONE MATERIAL BODY TO ANOTHER IN HUMAN LIFE, ANIMAL LIFE, AND LIFE AS A DEMIGOD, "THE YAMADUTAS SAID, "WHEN  THE LIVING ENTITY GETS THE BODY OF A DEMIGOD, HE IS VERY HAPPY. WHEN HE GETS A HUMAN BODY, HE IS SOMETIMES HAPPY AND SOMETIMES SAD AND WHEN HE GETS THE BODY OF AN ANIMAL, HE IS ALWAYS FEARFUL. IN ALL CONDITIONS IS CALLED SAMSARA, OR TRANSMIGRATION OF THE SOUL THROUGH DIFFERENT SPECIES OF MATERIAL LIFE.

                     THE FOOLISH EMBODIES LIVING ENTITY", THE YAMADUTAS CONTINUED , "UNABLE TO CONTROL HIS SENSES OF HIS MIND, IS FORCED TO ACT ACCORDING TO THE INFLUENCES OF THE MODES OF MATERIAL NATURE, EVEN AGAINST HIS OWN DESIRES. HE IS LIKE A SILKWORM THAT USES ITS OWN SALIVA TO CREATE A COCOON AND THEN BECOMES TRAPPED IN IT. THE LIVING ENTITY TRAPS HIMSELF IN A NETWORK OF HIS OWN FRUITIVE ACTIVITIES AND THEN CAN FIND NO WAY OF FREE HIMSELF. THUS HE IS ALWAYS BEWILDERED AND REPEATEDLY DIES AND IS REBORN.

                 👉❤

                     BECAUSE OF HIS INTENSE MATERIAL DESIRES", SAID THE YAMADUTAS, A LIVING ENTITY TAKES BIRTH IN A PARTICULAR FAMILY AND RECEIVES A BODY LIKE THAT OF EITHER THE MOTHER OR THE FATHER. THAT BODY IS AN INDICATION OF HIS PAST AND FUTURE BODIES, JUST AS ONE SPRINGTIME IS AN INDICATION OF PAST AND FUTURE SPRINGTIMES".

                   THE HUMAN FORM OF LIFE IS ESPECIALLY VALUABLE, BECAUSE ONLY A HUMAN CAN UNDERSTAND THE TRANSCENDENTAL KNOWLEDGE THAT CAN FREE HIM FROM THE CYCLE OF BIRTH AND DEATH. BUT AJAMILA HAD WASTED HIS HUMAN LIFE.

               👉❤

                             

                     THE CHANTING OF THE HOLY NAME OF LORD VISHNU, THE VISHNUDUTAS SAID, " IS THE BEST PROCESS OF ATONEMENT FOR A THIEF OR A DRUNKARD, FOR ONE WHO BETRAYS A FRIEND OR RELATIVE, FOR ONE WHO KILLS A PRIEST, OR FOR ONE WHO INDULGES IN SEX WITH THE WIFE OF HIS GURU OR ANOTHER SUPERIOR. IT IS ALSO THE BEST METHOD OF ATONEMENT FOR ONE WHO MURDENS WOMEN, THE KING, OR HIS FATHER, FOR ONE WHO SLAUGHTERS COWS, AND FOR ALL OTHER SINFUL MEN. SIMPLY BY CHANTING THE HOLY NAME OF LORD VISHNU, SUCH SINFUL PERSONS MAY ATTRACT THE ATTENTION OF THE SUPREME LORD, WHO THEREFORE CONSIDERS, "BECAUSE THIS MAN HAS CHANTED MY HOLY NAME, IT IS MY DUTY TO GIVE HIM PROTECTION".

                                                 💫   MAYA'S ILLUSION  💫

                           MAYA'S ILLUSION IS LIKE THE FOAM  👀

                                WHICH MIXES AGAIN WITH THE SEA.

                        NO ONE IS MOTHER, FATHER, OR RELATIVE, ❤

                                LIKE THE SEA FOAM, THEY REMAIN A SHORT

                        WHILE ONLY.👀

                                 AND, AS THE SEA FORM MERGES INTO THE SEA,

                         THIS PRECIOUS BODY OF FIVE ELEMENTS❤

                                 DISSAPPEARS.

                          WHO CAN SAY HOW MANY EPHEMERAL FORMS👀

                               THE EMBODIED SOUL HAS TAKEN?
