SPIRITUALITY
The regular practice of
meditation balances our
chakras and pancha kosha,
stabilizes our body and
mind, heals us at a
physical, psychological,
aural and intellectual level,
completely relieves us
from stress, and takes us
from mind control in level
one to complete awareness
of the self.
This step-by-step method involves the
journey of the consciousness of our
soul, a journey that makes the life of a
human being a success, a journey that
ascends us from our philosophy of
materialism, mortality and pathos to
the practical realization of all that exists,
a state in which there is complete
peace. A state in which even while
performing an action, we are always
fully aware and functioning in sync with
our inner self and the cosmic
consciousness. In other words, every
karma or action becomes fully
conscious and hence blissful. But there
are a lot of experiences on the way to
this state. This is a journey, a step-by-
step method, and we need to start from
our present level.
us, every movement of prana/impulse,
of our breath. Try to find that state, that space within
where silence resides.
In order to unravel the complete truth,
one needs to enter the subtle world of
consciousness through meditation.
When we meditate, we go through this
process of moving from the inert to the
subtle, from the subtle to the subtler,
and from the subtler to the subtlest.
This process is a journey – the journey
of the consciousness of our soul from
darkness to light and from instability to
a state of complete peace and bliss. Our mind too, uses up the energy of our
soul and it is through the very mind and
the sense organs that the conscious
energy of the soul flows outwards into
the external world – a world that is
gross, perishable, inert, subject to
change and does not promise stability
and peace. The external world is based
on dualism. In order to attain complete
freedom from this cycle of instability,
lack of peace, duality and distress, we
need to undergo a step-by-step
transformation method, a method that
ultimately takes us to a state of bliss.
Almost everybody can try to meditate
on their own by closing their eyes and
trying to relax in the darkness inside.

Yoga stabilizes our mind. Only a
practitioner of Yoga sadhana can
understand how unstable the mind is.
As the practice happens on a regular
basis, several experiences and changes
occur. This is the initial part of the
journey of transformation. The road
ahead just keeps getting better and
better and so does our life. We are filled
with joy, peace, stability, great virtues
and a lot more.
Today in my life, the cup is empty, the
void is infinite, the nectarial word keeps
dropping, and I am all bliss. Nothing is
more beautiful than the void that I
experience every day. In this void, there
