Exploration Beyond Barriers

In the vast expanse of human potential, we often find ourselves confined by invisible barriers—limitations of the mind, conditioning from society, past traumas, and self-imposed beliefs. These barriers, though intangible, can powerfully restrict our inner growth and prevent us from experiencing the fullness of life. However, the profound path of Himalayan Samarpan Dhyanyog, guided by the timeless teachings of His Holiness Shivkrupanand Swamiji, offers a transformative journey of "Exploration Beyond Barriers." It is an invitation to transcend these self-created confines and unlock the limitless capacities of our inner being, leading to a profound inner transformation.

The essence of Samarpan Dhyanyog lies in its simplicity and directness. Swamiji emphasises that the true self is beyond all limitations, pure consciousness, and boundless potential. The barriers we perceive are merely constructs of the ego-mind, born from identification with transient experiences and external circumstances. Through the practice of Samarpan (total surrender) during meditation, practitioners learn to systematically quiet the turbulent mind. This quietude is not an empty state but a gateway to a deeper, more profound awareness. As the mental chatter subsides, the light of inner clarity begins to shine, revealing the illusory nature of our perceived limitations.

Inner growth, within the framework of Samarpan Dhyanyog, is a continuous process of shedding these layers of illusion. It's about dismantling the walls we've built around ourselves, brick by brick. For instance, the barrier of fear—fear of failure, fear of judgment, fear of the unknown—often prevents us from taking bold steps in life. Through consistent meditation and the cultivation of inner trust, individuals find their fears gradually dissolving. This isn't about becoming fearless in a reckless sense, but about developing the inner resilience and wisdom to face challenges with equanimity, understanding that true security comes from within, not from external control.

Similarly, the barriers of past conditioning and societal expectations can severely limit our potential. We often operate from beliefs instilled in us since childhood, or from the collective consciousness of our environment, without ever questioning their validity. Samarpan Dhyanyog empowers individuals to become conscious observers of their own programming. As inner clarity grows, one begins to see how these external influences have shaped their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. This awareness is the first step towards inner transformation – the conscious choice to break free from unhelpful patterns and align with one's authentic self, guided by inner wisdom rather than external dictates.

Inner transformation, therefore, is the natural outcome of this continuous exploration beyond barriers. It's a fundamental shift in one's being, moving from a limited, fear-driven existence to one of expansive peace, joy, and purpose. This transformation is not superficial; it permeates every dimension of life – physical health improves as stress diminishes, emotional well-being deepens as unresolved feelings are released, mental clarity sharpens, and a profound spiritual connection blossoms. Swamiji often highlights that this transformation is a return to our original, pure state, a remembering of who we truly are before the world placed its conditioning upon us.

The journey of exploration beyond barriers, as facilitated by Himalayan Samarpan Dhyanyog, is an intensely personal yet universally applicable path. It requires dedication, sincerity, and a willingness to look inwards with courage. As practitioners delve deeper, they discover that the true barriers were never external, but always internal—products of their own minds. By surrendering the illusion of control and trusting in the inherent wisdom of the universe, one not only transcends personal limitations but also contributes to the collective consciousness, radiating peace and harmony into the world. This is the profound promise of Samarpan Dhyanyog: a life lived not within confines, but in boundless freedom and infinite potential.

The Seven Bodies

Image
  The Seven Bodies Swamiji in his discourses has spoken about the awakening of the Kundalini and the seven bodies in brief in his discourses. Here we will try and examine what these bodies are. The first body is the Physical Body – this body is also known as the Sthul sharir – we are all aware of the physical body and most of us do not progress beyond this level in our spiritual journey. This develops in the first seven years after birth. The progress starts once a living Guru plants the seed of self-realisation within you. In the next seven years from ages 7 to 14 one develops the second subtle body which is the Etheric Body or the bhava sharir. Here, the emotional development and maturity takes place. Sexual maturity which is the most wanton of emotions is developed by the age of fourteen. Some people’s growth stops here and they cannot progress beyond this stage at all and get stuck with the physical and etheric bodies. After this is the Astral Body or the sukshma shari...

  GSD view from afar Heaven in the Heat - Rajasthan Samarpan Ashram   Visit to Rajasthan Samarpan Ashram   Our visit to Rajasthan Samarpan Ashram had been in the offing for quite a long time. I had called Umeshji sometime in the middle of April and asked whether we could give Aradka a visit. He said he would be free after the 26 th and so we planned accordingly. Umesh Paiji and I had decided to give a surprise inspection visit to the Rajasthan Samarpan Ashram as per the guidance given by His Holiness Swamiji in May 2023 during his discourse at Mahudi. Accordingly, we had booked flight tickets, airport to Ajmer hotel transfers – both to and fro. Our visit was from April 28 and return was scheduled for May 1 – both Gujarat and Maharashtra Day! On the 28 th we requested Swamiji’s office to inform the Rajasthan trustee and the Administrator of our impending visit and the purpose of the same. The office informed Dr Manoj Sharma and Mr. Sundeep Sharma about our visit ju...

Judging Others

  Photo Credit: Pinterest Judging Others Why do we judge people? Sometimes our opinion is formed even before having been introduced to a person. After spending several years on the spiritual path, we develop a sixth sense, we think we understand energy, and based on that we again judge people and slot them as ‘good’ or ‘bad.’ We do not have to stop judging people, we need to understand why and how we judge people. We can only judge that which is visible – like the behaviour of a person, because only the behaviour is available to form an opinion. We do not actually ‘know’ the person, we do not know the reason for his /her behaviour and despite that we go ahead and judge that person. It is alright to judge the act, but not the person. Sometimes it could so happen that a person is always smiling and laughing and being jovial, but deep down he/she may be sad and is just putting on a show to avoid passing on his wounds to everybody. Maybe he/she is smiling on the surface and cryin...
