True Spirituality

Beyond myth and fantasy...  

Truth is Here!

Spirituality is quest of truth - to seek to know the essence of life, self, and universe. This quest intrigues everyone - spiritualists, scientists, and common people. Yet, as human race we rely on selected few spiritual leaders, religious teachers, and scientists to tell us the truth. They are believed to be walking on the path of truth. Is truth just revealed to spiritual masters, religious leaders or scientists? Is spirituality just about following certain dogmas, rituals and believing blindly in someone?

The one who tells the truth might have experienced it, but the listener just believes. Spirituality is not just believing and blindly following what has been told nor does it mean renouncing the world. It is about knowing and experiencing the truth and living it - that is being the truth. Truth is not a realm far away from earth. Truth is all inclusive and unhidden - it is the field of life - the space where life happens and unfolds. To know the truth is to know the self.

Rituals, mantras, and techniques are good as far as they help to stabilise the outer environment and calm the mind so that one can see the truth within. These are just pointers to the truth, not the truth itself. One may follow these rituals and techniques or create their own, which help in silencing the thoughts. In silence transformation happens - transformation of limited self to universal or expanded self - that is free of anger, hurt, pain, violence, and harmful thoughts.   

'Self-realisation is the path to Divine realisation''.

Hence, study the self. Meditate not on this or that, but on the self. To study the self, one does not need to go anywhere. Just start observing the self - observe the actions - the way you walk, eat, talk, stand, sit; observe the subtle acts - breathe, thoughts, feelings, and emotions. This is awareness. Awareness is meditation. In awareness, one realises 'who I am not' and that leads to 'who I am' - that is the essence of everything. 

Spirit means essence and essence of everything is energy, that is, love. When the mind is freed, it expands and dissolves into the infinity of the spirit, that is, oneness. And then one realises that body, mind and spirit are not separate but one. Human being is not a body having mind, intellect, and soul, rather this life form is intelligent life form - pure intellectual energy, that is, awareness.

This oneness is love and it is all that is. This is what has been called God/Higher Self/Expanded Self/No Self/Spirit/Divine. God is not an entity or supernatural being in far-away realm. God is the original state of being - essence of all that is – the truth.

Realisation and experience of oneness of the existence is awakening to the truth; awakening is being the truth; being is living the truth and living the truth is true spirituality. 

The Logic

Space is not empty - it has inherent energy called dark energy. Visible matter is only 5% part of the universe and rest is all space – the energy. Even matter is energy vibrating at certain frequency. Scientists say that the entire universe came from a single point of energy called Big Bang. Imagine all that you see, think or perceive in this universe was just a point of energy that exploded and expanded to create many forms in the formless (space). This implies that the essence of all is one and same.

Free The Self

Do not be afraid to follow your own path. The path well known may give answers instantaneously, but that would be meaningless because that would just remain a belief. This known path with all its limitations, restrictions, and rules has many a fears and impositions. Why not free  the self, overcome the fear and find the truth on your own?

Follow your heart and it will lead you to the right sources, questions, and answers. In the oneness of consciousness, truth will emerge out as your path to self-realisation. Go ahead, experience the self and you will experience whatever you are seeking - Love/Divine/Supreme Being/Higher Self/Expanded Self/Consciousness/Truth.
