False security is the biggest danger in life

Are you centred only on logic?
Do you feel accumulation of wealth gives you tremendous security?
Do you always plan precisely your whole day routine?

If your answer is a ‘YES’ to any one of the above questions, you are a person living in the length dimension. Length dimension means anything with a systematic logical flow, a repeated flow with the same logic every time. Whatever is known in the Universe, 99.99% is logic. But the Universe comprises both the Manifest (Vyakta) and the Unmanifest (Avyakta) components. The unfortunate thing is our society can only grasp the length dimension which is rooted on logic. Hence, the collective unconsciousness in society creates an imaginary security using the illusionary concept of electronic currency and the zeros in the bank balance. With electronic money, you may be better secured but not absolutely secured. This is because relative security is not real absolute security. People who are constantly striving for security in life with money will find themselves cheated by life as all it takes is an accident to wake them up and they will realize that they are living in illusion. Security and wealth are the false security which makes human beings not seek the true security in life. The false security is the biggest danger in length dimension.

In Vedic tradition, money is not Lakshmi (a Hindu Goddess who represents the energy of wealth, fortune and abundance), using money so that you allow it to flow as currency is Lakshmi. Hoarding the money is known as Kubera wealth that neither allows you to enjoy the wealth nor others can enjoy the wealth. Instead the flow of currency is Lakshmi wealth where you treat money cheaply by sharing generously and allow Lakshmi to follow you. Fundamentally, the absolute wealth is the number of hours you are intensely alive in a day without being affected by your hormones or other external factors. That is real security because you are not touched by anything external, you are centred from within!

Relax from the struggle between spritiual life and material life

Do you struggle between living a spiritual life and a material life?

Before meeting my Guru, a living avatar – Paramahamsa Nithyananda (fondly known as Swamiji), I was living a material life enjoying the sense pleasures but suffering from a complete emptiness in spiritual life. Naturally my life was hell because my body was aching so much and my inner space was shrinking into restlessness and constant irritation. It was only after I started seeking the higher purpose in life that I was able to heal my body-mind and drop all the wrong cognitions which I was carrying about life which were inserted into my consciousness by the unconscious society.

I was reminded of a perfect analogy given by Swamiji which shifted my cognition completely and I never have to struggle anymore!

Shiva means Eternal Auspiciousness

Today, I am the mood of sharing my favorite Being, Lord Shiva in Vedic puranas (histories) as told by my Guru, Paramahamsa Nithyananda (fondly known as Swamiji) in March 2010 on the auspicious day of Shivaratri.

Shiva, the very word means eternal auspiciousness, auspiciousness without reason or cause. When something exists without cause or reason, it’s eternal. Even if you look at the extraordinary qualities of Mahadeva, when he sits in silence as Dakshinmurthy, he puts people into enlightenment, under the banyan tree. When he dances, he puts people into bliss as Nataraja – the Cosmic Dancer! When he destroys, he destroys all negativity as Kalabhairava. When he decides to show compassion, he can take any poison and swallow it with no limit. When he decides to destroy, he will destroy even death, Yama. When he decides to save, he will go to any extent to save others, how he swallowed the poison to save the world, risking even his own body.

The grandeur with which he expresses the experience, he showers on people who even remember him, Sadashiva, the ultimate Guru, ultimate Yogi, ultimate King, Ishwara, ultimate Leader, ultimate Bliss, ultimate compassion, ultimate life. With all these qualities, he is not too far away, very easy to approach, easily pleased. Nothing much is required to please him. That is why he’s called Bole Baba (easily pleased).

Shivaratri is the celebration of Lord Shiva appearing as an eternal light shaft as Arunachala, to give the opportunity to Brahma (Lord of creation) and Vishnu (Lord of Maintenance), to find the head and feet of Mahadeva. Shivaratri is the day when intense cosmic energy radiates.
