Keys to Higher Awareness

Purifying your thoughts is a variation on the theme of higher awareness. So you might want to start with a review of the keys to higher awareness. The first three-banishing doubt, cultivating the witness and shutting down inner dialogue- are essential to taming the ego and beginning to recognize and change toxicity to purity. www.manavdharam.org

Free Life

Toxic thinking is a habit of using your mind as an interpreter. Let go of that habit of constant interpretation and begin to live your life free of ego’s comments. Your willingness to confront the ways that you have been thinking is your opening to the purification process. The ability to suspend judgment will allow you to reach the higher ground and experience the richer awareness that goes with the triumph of the higher self over the ego. www.manavdharam.org

Toxic Thoughts

Just knowing that you can choose less toxic thoughts is an important insight. Many people have never had this insight. Consequently, they spend their entire lives defending the position that their thoughts are unchangeable. You, on your sacred path, know better. You know that who you are is something grander than the thoughts you think and more divine than the body where the thoughts occur. Your thoughts and behaviors are habits. The ways that you have allowed your inner world to work are habits resulting from your experience of your life, including the beliefs that you’ve received from all the well meaning people who taught you about life. To purify your thinking and make your mind work exactly as you want it to be willing to examine these habits of thought. Then you will begin the purifying process and see the opening to your sacred self. www.manavdharam.org

Apara & Para Vidya

Man is essentially spirit, or in other words, consciousness. To know consciousness, to experience it and to realize it is the path of spiritual knowledge. Knowledge has two aspects- material and spiritual. In the material domain it is called 'Apara Vidya' and pertains to all physical and social sciences. In the spiritual domain it is called 'Para Vidya' and pertains to self-realization, the experience of the soul. Science of soul itself implies the science of universal life. The science of the spirit is a sovereign science, a sovereign secret, imperishable, supremely holy, most excellent, directly enjoyable, full of virtues and very easy to practice. It is itself both the means and the end - the immediate and the ultimate. It is all comprehensive and all-inclusive, and knowing it means nothing remains to be known. It is the saturation of the self, the merging of the individual self with the Cosmic Self. It cannot be achieved through senses, mind or intellect. It is experienced by the self through the self by the grace of the realized Master. Knowledge is the means, and Knowledge also is the destination. In Divine Knowledge there must be no duality. It is just one point. www.manavdharam.org

Knowledge

"The knowledge of God is the purest thing on earth. By receiving that Knowledge, by coming in contact with the Knowledge we can also become pure. 'People say, 'Meditate on God.' How can you meditate on God without knowing God? First have Knowledge of God. www.manavdharam.org

Holy Knowledge

'By this Holy Knowledge a Buddhist can know what the Buddha taught, a Christian can know what Christ taught, a Muslim can know what Mohammed taught, a Hindu can know what Krishna and Rama taught, because this is the empirical, this is the essence. An iron piece becomes a magnet by contact with a magnet, and similarly, when a person's consciousness comes in contact with this Knowledge, the person becomes divine. The difference between a magnet and a simple piece of iron is the arrangements and settings of the molecules. In a magnet, all the molecules are aligned in one direction while in the piece of iron they have haphazard patterns. Similarly, the difference between a person who meditates on Knowledge and a man who doesn't is that the consciousness of the former is single-pointed while in the latter it is diffused and scattered. www.manavdharam.org

No Darkness

Ignorance is merely the absence of knowledge. There is no such thing as darkness; the absence of light is darkness. Then there is the multiplicity of shapes and forms which is nothing but the vicious circle of illusion. Duality of perception ends only after one receives Knowledge. www.manavdharam.org

Shri Hans Ji Maharaj

The Spiritual Master is considered to be the incarnation of Lord Vishnu and surrender to the Master is considered to be surrender to God. To surrender to the Master is the highest from of devotion.

Shri Satpal Ji Maharaj

Self contemplation is not at all possible without the spiritual Knowledge. This Knowledge is beyond any language. Only the living Master can impart Knowledge and only then will self-contemplation (the process of spiritual life) begin.

"VASTU AMOLAK DAI MERE SATGURU,
KARI KRIPA APNAYO.
KHARACH NA HOWE CHOR NA LEWE,
DIN-DIN BHARAT SAWAYO.
PAYO JI MAINE, NAM RATAN DHAN PAYO."
My Satguru has given me the priceless jewel of Name. He has graced me and accepted me. Neither thief can steal it nor it is spent and exhausted, rather it goes on increasing day by day.

"HARI KRIPA TE SANT BHETIYA,
NANAK MAN PRAKASH."
By the grace of God I, Nanak, met a true saint and my mind is full of light.

"KABAHUN MAN RANG TARANG CHARHE,
KABAHUN MAN SOCHAT HAI DHANKO.
KABAHUN TIYA DEKH KE CHITTA CHALE,
KABAHUN MRIG HOY CHALE BAN KO.
TULSI DAS KAHE KEHI VIDHI,
SAMJHAUN ES KAPATI MAN KO."
Sometime the mind wants good horses, big palace, etc. Another time it hankers for wealth, at still another moment it feels lust for a beautiful woman, another time it wants to move freely like a deer in the forest. Tulsidas Ji asks how can he tame this deceitful mind? We should search for true living Spiritual Master and acquire the Spiritual Knowledge from him.

"SUMIRAN KI SUDH YON KARO, JAISE DAM KANGAL.
EK PALAK BISARE NAHI, PAL PAL LEYA SAMBHAL.
SUMIRAN KI SUDH YOUN KARO, JYON SURABHI SUT MAHIN.
KAHE KABIR CHARA CHARAT, BISARAT KABAHUN NAHIN.
SUMIRAN KI SUDH YON KARO, JYON GAGAN PANIHAR.
HALE DOLE SURATI MEIN, KAHAT KABIR VICHARI."
So remember the Name like that miser. He does not forget about his money even for a moment and each moment his remembrance is ever fresh. Remember the Holy Name like the cow who has given birth to a calf recently and keeps her gaze continuously on him. Even while grazing in the field she does not forget about her newly born calf. Remember like the ladies who carry water in the pitchers, one above the other, on their head. They may move their hands but they keep their mind fixed on their pitchers such that the pitchers do not fall. Without touching their pitchers with their hands, they mentally balance those pitchers on their head. Likewise, while doing our daily tasks, we should keep our attention hooked to the Holy Name.

"SAHAJ HI DHUN HOT HAI, HARDAM GHAT KE MAHIN.
SURATI SHABDA MELA BHAYA, MUKH KI HAJAT NAHIN.
SUMIRAN SURATI LAGAY KE, MIKH SE KACHHU NA BOL.
BAHAR KE PAT DEYA KE, ANDAR KE PAT KHOL."
Deep within us, a continuous sound is playing automatically. When the mind becomes one with the Primordial Word, nothing needs to be uttered verbally. By hooking the 'surati' to the Primordial Word you need not say anything. Close the outer door and open the inner one.
