My Spiritual Journey and My Guru

Stories, , , , , , , ,

I don’t know whether I am the right person to write this blog, but I am just sharing my experience of my spiritual journey with this great being called Sadhguru.

My journey of life can be divided in two parallels till I met my Guru. One was totally physical person, who saw life as physical and another was this tinge or a light breeze of something more than life around me. In my house my mom has been a devotee of Shiva and Krishna, and being with her made see something beyond life.

I never believed in some god above, as I was more curious to know about the temples, science behind it and to see life in more depth. But as I read and saw places of worship were thousands of people came every day and cried, I started to have questions who are these peoples who created this spaces, from where they had this knowledge and from whom they get this knowledge. And the answer for all this was GURU. Guru, this one word has fascinated me from my childhood but never found one till everything screamed for him within me.

To know all this, the science behind the temples, the subtle nature of life and a way to become a being of immense capability I started to search Guru. I don’t know from where this was instilled in my life that a Guru is not someone with whom you shake hands with or walk with your chest held high. I started to read about great beings like Adi Shankaracharya, Swami Vivekananda and many more. But all this happened till I was 12 or 13 years after that I forget all this and got involved into the material life.

But once you know that you know nothing about life, life will come and slap you on face. So this happened to me.

I was going through this phase where I was lost within myself. Outside I was fine but within me I was lost I didn’t know what I am doing with my life. And when you lose yourself then it’s an eternal search and most people take another route.  But as I said, there was a breeze in my life which had made sure that I cross all my barriers. But this time I couldn’t find that breeze too and again I started to search someone who can help. I started to see help in friends and family, but they did what they can do.

So, when I lost hope within me and I was about to give up in my life. I just thought of giving a try by doing some meditation. Because it is said that when you are lost, you close your eyes and sit, then you will find something which can’t be lost. And I started to do meditation, but when I closed my eyes thousands of things would pop up and I will lose my track. So one morning I went on Youtube videos watching spree listening to Ramdev baba and many others, but no use as I didn’t understood a word which they spoke.

But after a long search there comes a white bearded man and a turban on his head talking about Inner Engineering with a fluent English identifying himself as Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev . Fascinated by the idea of inner engineering, I attended his program and got initiated into a process called Shambhavi Mahamudra Kriya on Sep 2016. In the end of the program 95% people were crying blissfully and here I was having a headache.

Once you do this program you will be told to do this Kriya for atleast 40 days twice daily. So as I was doing that I could see no difference within me but, people who were with me were having beautiful experiences. So I thought something would be there and continued doing that (Ya, I left the whole Inner engineering thing for 7 months that was a different story but restarted after that).

Till 2019, I didn’t have any big experience and the search for guru was still on. But where to go, whom to ask etc all this question was wandering in my head.  At the same time this person called Sadhguru was giving me answers through his Youtube videos but, I wanted to see him physically and see whether he really has answers for all this. So on June 4, 2019 I got to know that Sadhguru is visiting Mumbai to meet the meditators. So I thought of going and that was end of my long search.

When he entered the hall many people started to cry and I was literally irritated by that, but something within me said that “Leave this entire people, you just focus on him, let’s see what he holds”. And by the end of the meet I was yelling and crying, it was like I broke out from a jail or something. I don’t know the tears were of pain or bliss, but I cried like a baby.

Sadhguru has said in one of the video that “The day you experience me more than my body and my words, that day I will be your guru till, then I am just a person”

That day he did nothing, He just said ‘Just be with me’ and focus on your breathe. That’s it, this two things broke everything and I found my GURU in him. From that day till today my life has been a roller coaster ride, but, when you have a guru of his proportions accompanying you then what else you need in life. 99% of my life within me has been fulfilled once he arrived, rest 1% it’s on me now.

I have understood one thing now that a Guru doesn’t come easily, atleast in my life it happened like that. For many people it takes lifetimes of journey to find a guru, and here I am fortunate to have him. I won’t say blindly believe in him but if you are lost, If you want to know the truth and experience life in it’s depth then he has the way, he has the tools.

Sadhguru

A being of immense proportions,
Came to my life,
Taking me out of the pit,
The pit where I lost myself,
And showed me a path to find myself again,
Making me experience life in its true essence,
 Oh beloved,
Don’t you ignore this being,
As he won’t be coming back,
One more time.

Feminine

Stories, , , , , , ,

What’s feminine? Why is it so significant?

When life grows, it’s through feminine only, let it be your spiritual process or your material success if you haven’t experience the feminine then it won’t be an easy ride. In India there are many temples of Devi. Especially in South India, when you go to these temple you will hear the word “AMMA” more in these devi temple, as the word Amma signifies Mother.

Being feminine is not about the body it’s about how you experience life, are you more into the materiality like food, sex etc. or are you looking life beyond this. You can be masculine by body but you experience feminine within you, it’s not that you are becoming female or something. But it’s about experiencing subtle aspects of life which the whole world is ignorant of. When you start experiencing feminine your hidden talents comes out you become a painter, writer, singer or something you haven’t ever thought of.

In India there are various goddesses to whom you can go for help and definitely once you approach them with an inner sanctity then you won’t miss feminine. Personally to me feminine worship has been the significant aspect in my life. Once it touched me, things just changed. There are many stories regarding how just feminine worship has made a person so successful in life without them even asking anything.

Definitely as a life you can’t live without touching feminine either as a spiritual process or having someone beside you whom you love. If you happen to hate feminine you will be a very earthy person as a life.

Feminine

The breeze that flows upon you refreshing you is feminine,

The tree grows defying the laws of gravitation is feminine,

The breathe which goes inside and makes life happen is feminine,

Oh Fool,

Don’t you think that you can live without touching feminine,

To experience feminine you have to break your boundaries.

Love

Stories, , , , , , ,

Is it something that happens when someone holds your hand or sleep with you or, is it something happens when you find yourself ? Love has been a topic of wonderment to me, as I saw people finding love outside of themselves. Ya, I agree the situations you live in and people you stay with makes some difference but whatever the case may be any emotions that happens, happens within you and you have the choice of choosing whether to choose love or hate.

I am very lucky to be with people who loved me in my all bad and good times, be it be my family or my friends. But for me to experience love was a bit hard, as I always saw love as physical thing. If you do something to someone its love, If you hold someone’s hand its love etc etc, ya all that’s love, but just a small part of love. What’s true love you can’t express you can be it, but you can’t express.

A person become unloving or don’t experience love within them, when they are too much invested into themselves in their own thoughts, ego and what not. So this was my case few years back, a person totally invested into myself. But when you see life within you is not alive totally and you have missed on something then, you see for a path or someone who can help who can show you the way, so when I was in this confusion of death or living, love or hate etc.

My guru entered my life, Yoga entered my life and when I sat in his presence he just broke everything, the walls that I had built for myself to get suppressed and not feel anything alive in this world all those were shattered within me. The experience I went through that day was like immense pain from my heart and from my being by just letting loose everything that I was and what I held precious within me gave me, a sense of love within my being. This sweetness which I experienced was not of an emotional sort but pure life, just taking an inhalation is enough to become loving now.

From then experience of my life just turned inward, this love is nothing but life and if you think you are into yoga or meditation then without love you cannot exist. Love is the “A” of life and there are different facets of life too, but if you are not in love then you will get derailed in life with the body and mind playing games.

When you want to find love then you must look inward and then you will find a way or someone who knows the way will come to you especially, if you want to start a Spiritual journey.

Love

This sweetness of life that you have given,

Is making me mad in love with everything around me,

When I simply close my eyes and just breathe,

I go into the raptures of ecstasy,

Oh beloved,

Let not miss this life,

In the ways of body,

Rather taste bounty of life.

An Empty Slate

Nowadays many people say that certain things happened in their life because it was their fate.

But life happens from within and whatever happens outside cannot be controlled, but you only have choice on how you react on it.

But in a deeper sense, if you are happy and blissful in your body and mind then whatever happens outside, you won’t be effected.

And when you become conscious of life within you, you can write your destiny the way you want it. But many people go by fate and get failed in life or they don’t achieve what they want to. And when they don’t live as they want they say life is hell.

Life is not a means to some end somewhere in the future. Life is its own end, its own means. Life is all.

OSHO

The Boundless

Quotes, , , ,

Life, as in existentially is always one with everything. It is our human perception which thinks we are an individual.

We all capture some amount of life. It is like a soap bubble we blew when we were kids, every time we blew soap bubbles it was bigger or smaller according to how much air it captured.

In the same way each and every human being captures life. It is upon every individual to capture the life in its full intensity if they want to be a full fledged human being or else you can be a mediocre human being.

It is very easy to be a mediocre person. But if you want to become a person which changes every one’s life in a small or big way, YOU have to become full of life with a full involvement and unwavering focus.

It is upon you whether you want to be boundless or be in your own prison.

A human being is like a seed. Either you can keep it as it is, or you can make it a wonderful tree With flowers and fruits.

Consciousness, the way to be

Poems, , , , , , ,

As a human just try to be available to that book. Reading it, is your choice but being available to it is the nature’s choice. Do not restrict it by your thoughts and emotion.

Consciousness is the way life functions around you. Everything around us including our body has been made by the five elements- Earth, Fire, Air,Water and space.

What is the Difference between an animal and a Human being ?

We all do same actions prevailing in the nature; but the difference is, we can do it by being conscious while animals cannot. If you become conscious, then many things that you never know will be in your perspective and you may feel like a super human. But it is not about being super human, but to know that being human is super!

The intelligence behind making a tree, body or an animal is called consciousness. In India, there where many wonderful being which made the use of consciousness to flourish human well being.

Swami Vivekananda and Gautama Buddha are among those people. In every person this life force is dormant and many people die like that way only without even tasting it.

How to get into that consciousness ?
