SATYA DHARMA OR SPIRITUALITY
IS THE CREED OF CREATIVE CONSCIOUSNESS
THE GLOBAL RELIGION OF THE 21ST CENTURY
WHAT IS SATYADHARMA?
Satyadharma * in Sanskrit means 'Tenets of Truth’. 'Satya' is truth & 'Dharma' a religion of one's own duty to self and society. In literature it has many meanings. In this proposal 'Satyadharma' means (1) Path of righteousness (2) Code of spiritual conduct (3) Living a natural life as per laws of nature and (4) Following social ethics and the rule of law.
Concept of 'Satyadharma' is based on spiritual wisdom not on any belief system as religions are. It is a way of life, where there is nothing to teach or is taught, lessons of life are learnt and experienced 'Individually' at personal level. Spiritual values are universal principles that apply to all human beings, who are frayed between duality, torn between higher aspirations and lower indulgences, tired of foolishness and wisdom, tattered by the mind and the senses. When an 'Individual' delves deep within his inner space, he hears an inner voice, divulging the goal of his life. Considering 'Conscience' warns and 'Consciousness' reveals, he must decipher and decode the message of his inner voice, and crystallize his objectives accordingly, to fulfill the purpose of life, he is born to accomplish. We all have an inimitable inherent intention to evolve, born in religion forced to follow Holy Books and God(s), we fail in real mission of our life.
Today, the burning issue before the world is ‘Religion or Rationality’, 'Religious Beliefs or Righteous Behavior'. Frictions arising amid 'Yes' and 'No', fuse to fix the inner accord. Outwardly all disciplines of knowledge are based on ideological positions rather than facts. When a concept is conceived, it can stretch to a certain level of logical and realistic thinking, if pushed beyond, it somersaults into a surrealistic surprise. Can mind set a consistent level of thinking? Often, heart knows the truth but trailing heart is to lose mind. So, experience inner vibes, inner vibrations and inner validation and trust truth as ignorance is dispelled by truth and truth alone removes the evils of error, and helps move, from alienation to authentication. Follow these principles of truth and laws of nature, as universe operates at subtle energy levels and multiple dimensions, and not on human thoughts or tapered view of human eye, restricted to three dimensions only.
Buddha was not a Buddhist, Jesus was not a Christian, Muhammad was not a Muslim, Avatars of Vedic age were not Hindus. In past, founders of organized religions, Buddhism, Christianity and Islam had rebelled against false religions that thrived in their lifetime and never claimed themselves to be the followers of any religion. On the contrary, they were strong votaries of righteous values and not of religion. Why 'Followers' blindly do what their 'Founders' didn't do? Why followers don't seek what their 'Founders' had sought? Now, the time is not to object or oppose similar views, raised by others against present-day religions as 'Blasphemous', a cause for which, the 'Founders' of all religions stood for and fought fearlessly. To know religions refer the 'Holy Books' and 'Frame of Time' in which they were written and why.
When presenter sought Ishwar he discovered God, when he sought God he discovered Allah, when he sought Allah he discovered consciousness, eternity and nothingness, God, Allah and Ishwar are not dead but religions are. So, he likes Christ not Christians, he likes Mohammed not Muslims, he likes Krishna not Hindus, he likes Buddha not Buddhist. He dislikes Church and Priest, he dislikes Mosque and Mullah, he dislikes Temple and Pundit, he dislikes Monastery and Monk. But reveres 'Cosmic Consciousness' as metaphor of God, Allah, and Ishwar. He considers human race as one family, world as one global village, and wants to restore this 'Oneness' lost in crusades, Jihads and holy wars.
Even a dupe can discern, medieval age Holy books mismatch the mindset of modern man. In a digital age, it's difficult for people to digest, criticism or suggestion for improvement of Holy book is seen as an 'Act of Blasphemy', even today in the midst of hue and cry, religions resist change and insist status-quo, which is baffling. If sheep's don't shrink in rain, they are washed away by flood into sinkholes. Using umbrella in rain is good, failing which, one is drenched, by his own foolishness, 'Caretakers of Religions' are doing the same stupidity. Are medieval age religions waiting to sink than be in sync with modern age? Is the liberty of spiritual freedom better than slavish mentality towards rigid religions?
Since millenniums world is reeling under the influence of redundant religions, unchanged and unaltered till now, making future of religions bleak in a free and flexible age of science and technology. Religions are crumbling giving way to new structures. If people of the world close their eyes, allow unstructured alternatives to come up in a lopsided manner, it would be as disastrous as religions are today. It is therefore, the duty of the people of the world to assert, the difference between 'What they Need' and 'What they Want'. We cannot expect things to change on its own, as grass grows by itself, cooperation and collaborative efforts of people can make it happen. Growth of human evolution and civilization are virtues, so pursuing the path of progress with conviction and commitment is crucial to bring an appropriate change.
Everything that exists in universe has an expiry date, nothing shall last forever, such is the law of nature, but whenever a new method is introduced, a new way to start an argument also takes place simultaneously. In such arguments people try to find out 'Who is Right'. Obviously this creates doubt. Doubt is dreadful. When in doubt, silence is a wrong stance to take. Doubts like nails never stop growing, no matter how many times you cut them. So let people participate, involve and engage in an open public debate to find out 'What is Right' and not argue to find 'Who is Right'.
With free open discussions, we can straight away arrive at, a well thought, and a well planned alternative to religions by revaluation and re-validation of universal spiritual values, broadly covering compassion, morality, wisdom, truthfulness, love, liberty, peace, harmony and oneness, and help people to disconnect their true 'Self' from false 'Ego' like sifting the wheat from chaff. ‘Satyadharma’ is based on this prime primordial premise, where the spiritual seeker walks on a very narrow path of 'Self' [mind] and 'Soul' [consciousness] and finds what he seeks, like a squeaky wheel gets the grease.
Spiritual realities are before us not everyone perceives it, come closer, observe them, and turn around your life to make it far better. Presenter just wants the world to see spiritual realities, and discard all false religious beliefs, superstitions and rituals, as truth is an 'Experience' and not based on any 'Belief System' like religions are. Only spiritual realities, not religious beliefs can make rigid minds move in right direction, aspiring them to attain, highest state of truth, even if, the laws of nature work behind the scenes, and spiritual laws struggle to reveal truth. Those who detect will discover truth. Those who try to bridge and fuse religion with spirituality, will find it as difficult, as to shoe a running horse.
Proposed 'Global Religion of 21st Century' call it 'Creed of Creative Consciousness' or 'Religionless Religion' or 'Tenets of Truth' of a 'Creed-less Creed' is not a bookish application, but a new untried, unproved, yet, workable and a practical rational concept 'Self-Devised' and 'Self-Developed' by the 'Self-Deliberations' of a 'Spiritual Seeker' by his own 'Self-Efforts' using spiritual values as a tool, to set his own milestones, and experience a 'Personal Spiritual Awakening' as a twice born. Then he may live for decades or not that hardly matters. Its no more time but a new person, who now, truly bears, the mark of 'Wisdom' difficult to gather that eventually matters in the evolution of a new spiritual human being.
Fundamental truth of universe pre-exists, be it stone-age, medieval age, modern age, digital age or the space age, yet unwritten on the pages of history, so 'Truth' appears, disappears and is lost in time, no one knows where, when and why. Sadly, the world has to wait for thousand years, before this lost truth re-emerges in its full glory. 'Satyadharma' the universal spiritual values is that lost truth, which can appeal all faith followers, as it does not force anyone to follow any dogma. There is no compulsion, except sharing universal spiritual realities, hoping people reflect on spiritual values as a practical option to forge social harmony, and create a conflict free world, where a man does not kill a man for religion.
Presenter has devised four stages of spiritual practice, in a sequential order, for convenience of new spiritual seekers. These are not rules laid down to follow rigidly. Seekers are free to have their way, without subscribing to any dictated doctrine that may lead to delusion and not to deliverance. Seekers may reflect on two aspects 'Exploration of Self' and that each person is 'Unique' in his own way. After all, spirituality is the art to turn the energy of expansion inward so that greater inner growth takes place. Each person is a free spiritual spirit, as such, he must seek, his own inner path and pursue it at a personal level. The following process is universal, it starts from self effort and ends in effortlessness : ~
(*) SWADHAYA ~
Literally it means 'Self Study', analysis and introspection of one’s own 'Self'. Here seeker decides to dive deep within to scan his 'Inner Core', where no one is there to dictate or direct him, except his inner voice, which leads him as his ‘Guide' into the province of a profound ‘Stillness’ of his own consciousness, distanced and detached from his mercurial mind. Knowing this ethereal presence, seeker now wants to know something more, so he builds his own 'Self Devised' spiritual procedure and practices, to set up his own belief system, purely on his personal experience, known as:
(*) SWADHARMA ~
A self-created 'Personal Creed' tailored and customized by seeker himself, to cater his specific spiritual needs, derived from 'Self Awareness' based on the foundation of his own thoughts and feelings, as a 'Self Selected Spiritual System', prepared by him, thru his 'Self Knowledge' and 'Self Experience' not as a 'Public Prescription' administered by religions as a 'Herd Mentality' forced upon faith followers en masse. Soon after scripting his own 'article of faith', seeker diligently fuses his self-invented personal ‘Swadharma’ with time-tested universal spiritual values and standards recognized as:
(*) SATYADHARMA ~
Known as the 'Tenets of Truth' a compendium that contains distilled version of universal spiritual values and standards, free from religious beliefs, focused essentially on the 'Exploration of Self' to accelerate the growth of 'Spiritual Wisdom', besides adhering principles of moral laws and the laws of nature. When universal values of ‘Satyadharma’ are aligned to fine tune seeker's 'Swadharma', it enhances and lends a much deeper spiritual meaning and relevance to it, aimed to ensure seekers journey on his self paved spiritual path is smooth, culminating in grand 'merger' of his consciousness with cosmic consciousness, the ultimate spiritual experience, which leads the seeker to a state of pure enlightenment.
(*) SANATAN DHARMA ~
Or 'Eternal Truth' that starts unfolding after union of ‘Seekers Self’ with ‘Cosmic Consciousness’ this insight cracks and crumbles the wall of human limitations. Now, nothing is left to know more so seeker abandons the baggage of religions and spiritual humbug he carries on his head. Now, with a clean slate he perceives himself as 'One' with cosmic eternity, as eternity is 'unknowable', he merges in cosmic mysteries, to experience being ‘Alive’ in unfathomable eternity. Now, like masters of mystics he too knows, how little he knows, and discovers nobody can know or reveal the 'Whole' truth, when gap between 'Belief' and 'Reality' is widened as everlasting breach, except 'Nothing' he accepts 'Everything'. Now the desire to live 'Life of Body' [pleasures] or 'Life of Mind' [ego] disappears. Now, he spends the rest of his life in the light of 'Pure Existence' as a silent stoic 'See-er', who lives in full consciousness, freely and fearlessly in a state of 'Oneness', and uses his spiritual wisdom deftly, to work in his day to day life, thus living in harmony and happiness fully aware of his 'Being'. He is now totally at ease and peace with himself [internally] and with the world [externally].
WRAPPING UP
It is here, magic, miracle, madness and mystery, mesmerizes and masquerades in numerous forms, transcending the body and the mind, to a wordless domain of 'Godliness', where the seeker gets the glimpse of the unknowable. In this timeless trek, his state of 'Being' and 'Becoming' ends, and he experiences 'Pure State of Existence' consciously. When the veil between this world and the other world is lifted 'Oneness' is experienced, a state of bliss called 'Enlightenment'.
it is here, the seeker realizes that each human being is gifted in a unique way, who plays a equally important part in the working of cosmic plan. Religion doesn't help people in discovering their uniqueness and importance. Spirituality is the most appropriate way to find out, ones own 'Personal Light'. And, experience consciousness a state of 'Bliss', and bliss alone may not be the final spiritual attainment, as mind seeks immortal in the mortal and ethereal in the ephemeral.
It is here, seekers ignorance disappears finally. It is here, the light of spiritual wisdom takes him, beyond the realm of Gods. It is here, everything seems 'Nothing'. It is here, that 'Nothing' seems 'Something' incomprehensible. It is here, that the word God is used as metaphor to express omnipresent 'Consciousness' in 'Eternity'. It is here, the mindset of seeker changes spontaneously. It is here, from where a new spiritual personality of humanity will emerge and spread 'Oneness' and 'Peace' in world, by spiritual collaboration and cooperation, not by religious competition and carnage.
CONNECT WITH COSMIC CONSCIOUSNESS
Everything in the sky is 'Moving' earth, moon and sun. If everything is moving, there ought to be something 'Still' that makes it move. What is that? Is it God? Everything in body is 'Moving' blood, heart, organs, thoughts and so on. if everything is moving in the body, there ought to be something 'Still' that makes it move. What is that? Is it the Soul? It is true, beyond thoughts there is silence, and beyond silence there is 'Stillness'. Even if, the theory of contrast is applied, it seems the definition of 'God' and 'Soul' any which way, we may try to define is nothing else, but a mental construct, and at its best, the idea of God as 'Cosmic Constant' concretized by sages, as a 'tool' to penetrate the frontiers of the 'Unknown' and 'Unknowable' realms, supposedly on a mathematical model, to unravel the unfathomable cosmic mysteries of universe, appears to the presenter, as a brilliant concept, indeed.
Senses create emotions, brain thoughts, sum total of emotions and thoughts is called 'Mind'. Mind as the master of the body decides its Karma accordingly. So, a healthy body and brain is imperative to do righteous deeds. Mind includes flavor of emotions and taste of thoughts, while cosmic connection creates a natural bubble of consciousness, as a 'Soul Sphere', superimposed by the smokescreen of the mind, that sees world in relative terms, that is, waking, sleeping and dreaming. While consciousness sees world beyond all this, in absolute terms as a 'See-er'. Relativity creates duality, absolute oneness. Unspoiled presence of 'Consciousness' despoiled by mind, obscures the spirit of consciousness. consciousness defiled by the mind is regained by introspection, and mind controlled by meditation. Consciousness is revealed in state of 'No Mind’, as consciousness alone can know consciousness, what mind can never know, thus mind ends up creating its own reality, a world of illusions and duality. Consciousness is the ultimate truth that stands out alone as oneness, 'That', which cannot be explained, when the object becomes the subject, and the subject the object.
Even when, ‘Body~Mind’ focus is pushed to background, heart continues to beat, mind continues to produce thoughts. So don't get entangled in the labyrinth of thoughts or prevent thoughts from flowing naturally, just watch them come and go, as a 'See-er' does with a stoic gaze. There is something 'Still' in constantly moving mind, body and cosmos, which endures forever, know this 'immortal' truth. When 'Mind' drops like a dry leaf falls, the 'See-er' becomes a 'Receiver' who is ready, to connect himself, with cosmic consciousness, like an antenna catches air waves. The state of cosmic consciousness is often glimpsed, when people are not ready for it. Suddenly, the spiritual secret that 'All is one and one is all' is stamped on the mind, as lifelong memory of 'Oneness' that lingers never to fade, from the eyes of the 'See-er'.
When thoughts and languages fail, silence becomes a tool to communicate. Meditation is a challenge to silence mind. Consciousness knows what mind cannot. Hard it is to talk in silence. But 'truth' is often received in silence, what words cannot grasp, mind cannot think, consciousness can. Its not an attainment, it is present as a 'See-er'. Consciousness is forever awake and never sleeps. Consciousness is a continuum, it is not located anywhere in body. Body is in embrace of consciousness. Cosmic consciousness is not creator, but 'Source' of everything that comes and goes back in cosmic consciousness, nothing is apart, everything is a part of it. So, no one comes here or goes anywhere, they always exist in cosmic dimensions, as one fascinating moment 'Now' in the unborn timeless eternity. Cosmic consciousness is 'That' timeless 'Now' that never ends. Unlike past, present or future, as measure of time, come to pass.
We are made of body and mind. Yet, several subtle layers exist that constitute the invisible 'airy aspect' of our human body. If, explained by example, let us assume cosmic consciousness is a big blank canvas, and life force is the base paint, the sketch drawn on it is personal consciousness, five senses is the paint box, emotions are colors, and brain transmitter of thoughts, mind the mixer of colors, thoughts are brush loaded with emotive and thoughtful drippings, runs down the surface of the canvas, to make a self portrait. Literal meaning of this analogy, may not sound appropriate, as truth is not explained by examples, truth reveals itself as it is, so know this example as a sequel and not as a fact, as we are fully fused human beings, and by no means, can we ever dissect, one part from another. But how we are all connected together as ‘One’ can be explained by a simpler similarity, assume thread of a pearl necklace is cosmic consciousness, we all are the plentiful pearls strewn on the thread, and necklace is whole humanity.
Allow me to explain it by another analogy. The river keeps losing water every time the sun shines, and keeps gaining water every time the rain falls, and merges into the sea, beginning from a humble spring. It keeps changing, in change it is constant and by changing so it has neither a beginning nor an end. What happens to the water that leaves the river, where does it go, it goes up into the clouds, and then falls down on ground, or into some other river or sea, while every drop goes on a long journey, before it comes and joins the river and leave sooner or later to go on to another journey, that means the essence of all oceans and clouds dwells in us. Can water ever disappear? No, all that is will always be what is. It may change form, like water turning into a cloud, than rain, and then the sea, but what is can never cease to be what it is. Energy is neither created nor destroyed but is transformed from one form to another. Energy is eternal, what comes next, in which form doesn’t matter, because essence remains one and same.
Presenter believes from spark of cosmic consciousness the 'heart' of fetus begins to 'throb', suddenly a piece of flesh is sensitized and activated. Science has failed to unravel the ingress of consciousness, and its imperceptible power in human beings. This extraordinary phenomena occurs in the making and shaping of human body. When human body comes in existence, stays and vanish into non-existence, consciousness goes back to consciousness, elements into elements, restarting the recycling of physical and non-physical energies. There is no escape from the cycle of life and death, as everything in cosmos that appears will soon disappear and reappear again, repeatedly in a cyclic manner.
Size of consciousness when it enters the body is smaller than the smallest subatomic particle on earth, and resides as the beater of heart beats, and grows into a big ‘Soul Sphere’ around human body, like a seed grows into a huge tree. Reversely, before it exits from the body, it shrinks back to its original size and escapes from an opening of the body according to its karmic departure, carrying with it, traces of karmic impressions, accumulated as core character, whose basic nature does not change, and by virtue of these karmic accruals, it enters another body. When it attains freedom of karma 'Nirvana' after countless births, it escapes from the cycle of life on earth, and enters another cycle of life on some other celestial planet in space, in different spatial dimensions and elements, unknown to human beings.
The human script is written by its genetic code. There is no producer, no director of the play, yet it pulls off the play well. Human beings are receptors of cosmic consciousness that cast a subtle effect on them by its ethereal influence, which cannot be explained but explored. So, dissolve the 'Self' in the ocean of consciousness. When all false identities are unmasked, one is left with the purity of innocence, and essence of ones true nature. Then all distorted perceptions and disconnections disappear, attaining the state of timelessness, oneness and immortal bliss. This leads to inner illumination, a state of 'Enlightenment', sages and spiritual seekers, wish and want to dwell, as long they live.
There are roads, there is walking, there are walkers who walk, but there is no destination to reach on roads on which they walk. Destination is a preexisting pattern in cosmic eternity, where journey is orbital not linear, therefore, human curiosity and exploration never ends, even as nature repeats itself, as seasons do, with no specific purpose, there are deeds but no doer of deeds, there is air but no blower of air. But there is a non-stop procession of karma, and its effect is transferred on thoughts, character and aspiration of people, as 'Rebirth' of karma, mistaken as transmigration of soul, appearing as spirit, ghost or separate entity, which migrates from one physical body to another. Human consciousness free flows in mutation of its distinctive characteristics acquired/gained by grinding in the 'Cycle of Life' not as a separate entity or a smoky silhouette, but as 'Akashic Akshar' with encoded experiences of lived life's, which is encapsulated in subtle layers of cosmic DNA, enabling our 'Spiritual Evolution' as human beings.
Finally in the end, if any seeker was to ask the presenter 'What will he gain following Satyadharma?' His answer would be 'Nothing'. How can presenter unravel a mystery, when he himself is part of same mystery, he is trying to solve. The question before us is, ‘Is your view or my view of the universe true? Both of us are wrong, we see a multi-dimensional world with our limited three dimensional view, which is not the reality of the universe. But, after gaining personal experience, through suggested method, a seeker can certainly reach, the stage that can lead him, to discard all false beliefs forever, and the creed, he upholds from birth. When a change of mind takes place, then true reflection of 'Who We Are' is experienced, then all thoughts are seen as illusions, then consciousness alone is realized, as the ultimate reality that shines like a star in darkness or like moon sheds light in a cloudless sky. Therefore, what I say and write let readers recognize it as their own saying and writing, as we all derive truth from the same source.

Now, like masters of mystics he too knows, how little he knows, and discovers nobody can know or reveal the 'Whole' truth, when gap between 'Belief' and 'Reality' is widened as everlasting breach, except 'Nothing' he accepts 'Everything'. Now the desire to live 'Life of Body' [pleasures] or 'Life of Mind' [ego] disappears. Now, he spends the rest of his life in the light of 'Pure Existence' as a silent stoic 'See-er', who lives in full consciousness, freely and fearlessly in a state of 'Oneness', and uses his spiritual wisdom deftly, to work in his day to day life, thus living in harmony and happiness fully aware of his 'Being'. He is now totally at ease and peace with himself [internally] and with the world [externally].
WRAPPING UP
It is here, magic, miracle, madness and mystery, mesmerizes and masquerades in numerous forms, transcending the body and the mind, to a wordless domain of 'Godliness', where the seeker gets the glimpse of the unknowable. In this timeless trek, his state of 'Being' and 'Becoming' ends, and he experiences 'Pure State of Existence' consciously. When the veil between this world and the other world is lifted 'Oneness' is experienced, a state of bliss called 'Enlightenment'.
it is here, the seeker realizes that each human being is gifted in a unique way, who plays a equally important part in the working of cosmic plan. Religion doesn't help people in discovering their uniqueness and importance. Spirituality is the most appropriate way to find out, ones own 'Personal Light'. And, experience consciousness a state of 'Bliss', and bliss alone may not be the final spiritual attainment, as mind seeks immortal in the mortal and ethereal in the ephemeral.
It is here, seekers ignorance disappears finally. It is here, the light of spiritual wisdom takes him, beyond the realm of Gods. It is here, everything seems 'Nothing'. It is here, that 'Nothing' seems 'Something' incomprehensible. It is here, that the word God is used as metaphor to express omnipresent 'Consciousness' in 'Eternity'. It is here, the mindset of seeker changes spontaneously. It is here, from where a new spiritual personality of humanity will emerge and spread 'Oneness' and 'Peace' in world, by spiritual collaboration and cooperation, not by religious competition and carnage.
CONNECT WITH COSMIC CONSCIOUSNESS
Everything in the sky is 'Moving' earth, moon and sun. If everything is moving, there ought to be something 'Still' that makes it move. What is that? Is it God? Everything in body is 'Moving' blood, heart, organs, thoughts and so on. if everything is moving in the body, there ought to be something 'Still' that makes it move. What is that? Is it the Soul? It is true, beyond thoughts there is silence, and beyond silence there is 'Stillness'. Even if, the theory of contrast is applied, it seems the definition of 'God' and 'Soul' any which way, we may try to define is nothing else, but a mental construct, and at its best, the idea of God as 'Cosmic Constant' concretized by sages, as a 'tool' to penetrate the frontiers of the 'Unknown' and 'Unknowable' realms, supposedly on a mathematical model, to unravel the unfathomable cosmic mysteries of universe, appears to the presenter, as a brilliant concept, indeed.
Senses create emotions, brain thoughts, sum total of emotions and thoughts is called 'Mind'. Mind as the master of the body decides its Karma accordingly. So, a healthy body and brain is imperative to do righteous deeds. Mind includes flavor of emotions and taste of thoughts, while cosmic connection creates a natural bubble of consciousness, as a 'Soul Sphere', superimposed by the smokescreen of the mind, that sees world in relative terms, that is, waking, sleeping and dreaming. While consciousness sees world beyond all this, in absolute terms as a 'See-er'. Relativity creates duality, absolute oneness. Unspoiled presence of 'Consciousness' despoiled by mind, obscures the spirit of consciousness. consciousness defiled by the mind is regained by introspection, and mind controlled by meditation. Consciousness is revealed in state of 'No Mind’, as consciousness alone can know consciousness, what mind can never know, thus mind ends up creating its own reality, a world of illusions and duality. Consciousness is the ultimate truth that stands out alone as oneness, 'That', which cannot be explained, when the object becomes the subject, and the subject the object.
Even when, ‘Body~Mind’ focus is pushed to background, heart continues to beat, mind continues to produce thoughts. So don't get entangled in the labyrinth of thoughts or prevent thoughts from flowing naturally, just watch them come and go, as a 'See-er' does with a stoic gaze. There is something 'Still' in constantly moving mind, body and cosmos, which endures forever, know this 'immortal' truth. When 'Mind' drops like a dry leaf falls, the 'See-er' becomes a 'Receiver' who is ready, to connect himself, with cosmic consciousness, like an antenna catches air waves. The state of cosmic consciousness is often glimpsed, when people are not ready for it. Suddenly, the spiritual secret that 'All is one and one is all' is stamped on the mind, as lifelong memory of 'Oneness' that lingers never to fade, from the eyes of the 'See-er'.
When thoughts and languages fail, silence becomes a tool to communicate. Meditation is a challenge to silence mind. Consciousness knows what mind cannot. Hard it is to talk in silence. But 'truth' is often received in silence, what words cannot grasp, mind cannot think, consciousness can. Its not an attainment, it is present as a 'See-er'. Consciousness is forever awake and never sleeps. Consciousness is a continuum, it is not located anywhere in body. Body is in embrace of consciousness. Cosmic consciousness is not creator, but 'Source' of everything that comes and goes back in cosmic consciousness, nothing is apart, everything is a part of it. So, no one comes here or goes anywhere, they always exist in cosmic dimensions, as one fascinating moment 'Now' in the unborn timeless eternity. Cosmic consciousness is 'That' timeless 'Now' that never ends. Unlike past, present or future, as measure of time, come to pass.
We are made of body and mind. Yet, several subtle layers exist that constitute the invisible 'airy aspect' of our human body. If, explained by example, let us assume cosmic consciousness is a big blank canvas, and life force is the base paint, the sketch drawn on it is personal consciousness, five senses is the paint box, emotions are colors, and brain transmitter of thoughts, mind the mixer of colors, thoughts are brush loaded with emotive and thoughtful drippings, runs down the surface of the canvas, to make a self portrait. Literal meaning of this analogy, may not sound appropriate, as truth is not explained by examples, truth reveals itself as it is, so know this example as a sequel and not as a fact, as we are fully fused human beings, and by no means, can we ever dissect, one part from another. But how we are all connected together as ‘One’ can be explained by a simpler similarity, assume thread of a pearl necklace is cosmic consciousness, we all are the plentiful pearls strewn on the thread, and necklace is whole humanity.
Allow me to explain it by another analogy. The river keeps losing water every time the sun shines, and keeps gaining water every time the rain falls, and merges into the sea, beginning from a humble spring. It keeps changing, in change it is constant and by changing so it has neither a beginning nor an end. What happens to the water that leaves the river, where does it go, it goes up into the clouds, and then falls down on ground, or into some other river or sea, while every drop goes on a long journey, before it comes and joins the river and leave sooner or later to go on to another journey, that means the essence of all oceans and clouds dwells in us. Can water ever disappear? No, all that is will always be what is. It may change form, like water turning into a cloud, than rain, and then the sea, but what is can never cease to be what it is. Energy is neither created nor destroyed but is transformed from one form to another. Energy is eternal, what comes next, in which form doesn’t matter, because essence remains one and same.
Presenter believes from spark of cosmic consciousness the 'heart' of fetus begins to 'throb', suddenly a piece of flesh is sensitized and activated. Science has failed to unravel the ingress of consciousness, and its imperceptible power in human beings. This extraordinary phenomena occurs in the making and shaping of human body. When human body comes in existence, stays and vanish into non-existence, consciousness goes back to consciousness, elements into elements, restarting the recycling of physical and non-physical energies. There is no escape from the cycle of life and death, as everything in cosmos that appears will soon disappear and reappear again, repeatedly in a cyclic manner.
Size of consciousness when it enters the body is smaller than the smallest subatomic particle on earth, and resides as the beater of heart beats, and grows into a big ‘Soul Sphere’ around human body, like a seed grows into a huge tree. Reversely, before it exits from the body, it shrinks back to its original size and escapes from an opening of the body according to its karmic departure, carrying with it, traces of karmic impressions, accumulated as core character, whose basic nature does not change, and by virtue of these karmic accruals, it enters another body. When it attains freedom of karma 'Nirvana' after countless births, it escapes from the cycle of life on earth, and enters another cycle of life on some other celestial planet in space, in different spatial dimensions and elements, unknown to human beings.
The human script is written by its genetic code. There is no producer, no director of the play, yet it pulls off the play well. Human beings are receptors of cosmic consciousness that cast a subtle effect on them by its ethereal influence, which cannot be explained but explored. So, dissolve the 'Self' in the ocean of consciousness. When all false identities are unmasked, one is left with the purity of innocence, and essence of ones true nature. Then all distorted perceptions and disconnections disappear, attaining the state of timelessness, oneness and immortal bliss. This leads to inner illumination, a state of 'Enlightenment', sages and spiritual seekers, wish and want to dwell, as long they live.
There are roads, there is walking, there are walkers who walk, but there is no destination to reach on roads on which they walk. Destination is a preexisting pattern in cosmic eternity, where journey is orbital not linear, therefore, human curiosity and exploration never ends, even as nature repeats itself, as seasons do, with no specific purpose, there are deeds but no doer of deeds, there is air but no blower of air. But there is a non-stop procession of karma, and its effect is transferred on thoughts, character and aspiration of people, as 'Rebirth' of karma, mistaken as transmigration of soul, appearing as spirit, ghost or separate entity, which migrates from one physical body to another. Human consciousness free flows in mutation of its distinctive characteristics acquired/gained by grinding in the 'Cycle of Life' not as a separate entity or a smoky silhouette, but as 'Akashic Akshar' with encoded experiences of lived life's, which is encapsulated in subtle layers of cosmic DNA, enabling our 'Spiritual Evolution' as human beings.
Finally in the end, if any seeker was to ask the presenter 'What will he gain following Satyadharma?' His answer would be 'Nothing'. How can presenter unravel a mystery, when he himself is part of same mystery, he is trying to solve. The question before us is, ‘Is your view or my view of the universe true? Both of us are wrong, we see a multi-dimensional world with our limited three dimensional view, which is not the reality of the universe. But, after gaining personal experience, through suggested method, a seeker can certainly reach, the stage that can lead him, to discard all false beliefs forever, and the creed, he upholds from birth. When a change of mind takes place, then true reflection of 'Who We Are' is experienced, then all thoughts are seen as illusions, then consciousness alone is realized, as the ultimate reality that shines like a star in darkness or like moon sheds light in a cloudless sky. Therefore, what I say and write let readers recognize it as their own saying and writing, as we all derive truth from the same source.
