Awakening the Dormant Soul

True spirituality is not a destination we reach through external practices; it is a profound reality we rediscover. Many of us arrive in this world possessing a vibrant spirituality at the soul level long before we recognise it in our physical, daily lives. You might find yourself naturally exuding love for all beings - sentient and insentient alike - nurturing a forgiving nature that transcends grievances, and allowing compassion to flow through you as effortlessly as breath. Yet, despite this innate goodness, you feel caught in the intricate, often exhausting web of life. You find yourself enduring the echoes of old karmas while unknowingly creating new ones, trapped in a cycle of action and reaction that feels both familiar and frustrating.

This persistent struggle is precisely where the true journey begins. The first, most pivotal step in spirituality is the moment you stop looking outward for validation or relief and begin looking inwards. It is a subtle but seismic shift - a realisation that the answers to your suffering, your purpose, and your existence lie not in the world outside, but in the depths of your own consciousness.

As this desire to understand deepens, your soul begins to guide you. It pulls you toward a samadhist Guru - the eternal, enlightened energy that permeates the universe and understands the weight of your karmic path. In this state of genuine longing, you may find yourself pleading to these Guru-energies, a silent or spoken cry for a bridge between your current confusion and the Truth. You are not asking for magic; you are asking for a living saint, a guide, to enter your life who can reflect your own potential back to you.

It is an act of deep, vulnerable trust. Then, at the divinely appointed time, the Grace descends. A living sant enters your life, often in the most unexpected ways. This being acts as the necessary catalyst that pierces through the heavy, hardened layers of conditioning you have accumulated over lifetimes.

Through their presence and teachings, your spirituality - which had lain dormant and buried beneath the debris of ego and social conditioning - is finally ignited. It rises up from the depths of your soul to illuminate your entire existence. You realise that the journey was never about becoming something new or acquiring hidden powers; it was always about remembering who you have always been. The sant does not give you spirituality; they simply clear the path so you can witness the light that has been burning within you all along. In this awakening, the web of life loses its power to bind you, and you begin to live not merely as a creature of karma, but as a conscious expression of the Divine.

Jai Baba Swami!

Meaning of Vibrations during Meditation

Image
  Photo Credit: Gem Selections Meaning of Vibrations during Meditation During meditation, many seekers experience subtle vibrations within the body, mind, and soul - gentle waves of energy that signify a deep spiritual awakening. These vibrations are not random sensations but profound indicators of an inner transformation. They reflect the movement of divine energy within us, cleansing our consciousness, dissolving blockages, and aligning us with higher frequencies of existence. The meaning of these vibrations varies based on an individual’s spiritual journey, yet they always serve as a sign that meditation is working at a deeper level beyond the mind’s comprehension. In the initial stages of meditation, vibrations may be felt as tingling, warmth, or pulsations in different parts of the body. These sensations often occur when energy begins to flow more freely, removing stagnation caused by stress, emotional burdens, and past karmic impressions. The human body is not just physic...

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...

Seeing Visions during Meditation

  Photo credit: Transformational Art College Seeing Visions during Meditation Of late many people have asked me the meaning of visions one sees while meditating. Getting visions is related to the eyes and the eyes have a connection to the agya chakra. Swamiji has always said that once you reach the agya chakra – that is good as well as bad. The good part is that you have reached the agya chakra – means you have reached the sixth level while clearing the five chakras below the agya chakra. Once you reach the agya chakra you start seeing visions of deities, samadhist Gurus, some see a flame, a blue light which moves in circles and so on. So, what is this and why does this happen – this is the most common question. The agya chakra holds all the impressions of the past, whether it is guilt, anger, hurt or spiritual in nature. So, the visions of deities, Gurus, saints, etc are basically of those from the past. These impressions are imbedded deep in the subconscious mind or chitta. Once ...
