Sadhuism for Salvation

Self Actualisation

noreply@blogger.com (Sadhuji) — Sun, 11 Dec 2011 10:07:00 +0000

Accept Yourself

Knowing what is right and what is wrong in your own inner consciousness is insufficient. It is not the knowing of truth that transforms a person; it is doing of truth that has an impact on you and other people whom you interact with.

You may know that it is inappropriate to think selfishly and look out for your won interest first, but your inner emotions may drive you to be blinded to the needs of others. You may know that it is against your basic truth to judge another individual, but your inner emotions may cause you to look at that person and make a judgement because of the effect you are allowing them to have on your life.

You may understand that all of God’s creatures were created equal, but that doesn’t stop you, on an emotional level, from feeling that human race is the most important life form on the planet. The discrepancy lies not in the lack of information, for the information is available on a worldwide basis for those who would seek it, evaluate it and accept it as their own; the discrepancy lies in the ability to integrate universal law into your lifestyle.

Knowing the self doesn’t just focus into the positive aspects of personality or the positive aspects of skill and talents that you brought with you into this lifetime, but into the negative as well; it is only when the positive is weighted against the negative, and balanced perspective is used as a guidepost in integrating higher consciousness into the self that the influence becomes apparent in your relationships and in your lifestyle.

Self-actualisation actualisation can be translated to mean, “making the self actual.” It means there is no difference between what you think and what you do. There is no contradiction between what you tell others and how you respond yourself. It is manifesting who you are and what you believe in on a day-to-day, consistent basis. The path to self-awareness is a long and solitary one, and many individuals give up. It is difficult to accept what our conscious choices in the course of a specific existence has driven us to do to other people. It is hard for us to accept that we have been selfish, or resentful, or spiteful. It is hard to see where we have deliberately manipulated our lives so that we have control over the people and the situations and the events within it.

It is never easy to admit that we are not the positive, smiling, loving person that we prefer to see ourselves as; when, in the course of personal growth, it becomes necessary for an individual to truly, honestly evaluate how they have interacted with their fellow human beings, the drop-out rate skyrockets.

This is unfortunate, because personal growth cannot proceed, self-awareness and self-actualisation cannot be accomplished without a true and open acknowledgement of who we used to be and how we used to live our lives, no matter how unpleasant that panorama may be.

This doesn’t mean that we need to spend years of our lives suffering regret and remorse for the wrong we have done in their lives to other people. What it does mean that we need to take a reasonable amount of time to look back and to evaluate honestly what was really at play in any particular situation, where the two parties were really coming from, and where each conducted themselves with less than universal love. We cannot go back and change the past; we cannot undo the influence that we have upon other people by our thoughts, our feelings and our reactions, but we can learn from that experience and make a personal commitment never to treat anyone with that lack of respect again.

If that person is still in our life, we can have the grace to apologise, and share our learning experience, and say, “I am sorry that I used to be like that. I want to be like this, now and I hope that you will help.”

It is only when we acknowledge our past weaknesses, and share our future aspirations, that we can experience the support and encouragement of others on our journey to self-actualisation.

If we are not willing to admit to ourselves that we have ever made a mistake, then we cannot admit that we need to change.

It is, from a soul evolution perspective, self-defeating behaviour to remain in situations made from the lower consciousness that create less than fulfilling situations and relationships in our lives.

LOVE AND MEDITATION

noreply@blogger.com (Sadhuji) — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 05:10:00 +0000

Love means art of being with others.

Meditation means the art of being with yourself.

A person who does not know how to be with himself cannot timely relate with others, his relationship will be awakened , graceless, ugly, haphazard, accidental.

A person who is not capable of being with other, of relating, will find it very difficult to relate with himself. Because the art of relating is the same—whether you relate with others or you relate with yourself does not make any difference, it is the same art.

Both the arts have to be learned together, simultaneously, they are inseparable. Be with the people and not unconsciously, but very consciously. Relate with people as if you are singing a song. As if you are playing on a flute.

Each person has to be thought as a musical instrument. Respect, love worship…..

“Because each person is a hidden face of God.”

Change your ways;

Beautify life around yourself.

Let every person feel that the meeting with you is a gift –

Just being with you something starts flowing .. glowing..

Something start arising in the heart,

Some flowers start opening.

And when you are alone, than sit utterly silent,

Absolutely silent and watch yourself;

Watch your breathing, one’s thoughts,

One’s memories- slowly, slowly,

Great awareness explodes…

One becomes full of light within.

This is the art of meditation.

TEN KEYS TO HAPPINESS

noreply@blogger.com (Sadhuji) — Sat, 10 Sep 2011 19:47:00 +0000

Ten Keys to Happiness

Physical wellbeing is inseparable from emotional well being. Happy people are healthy people. The wisdom traditions of the world tell us that happiness does not depend on what you have, but on who you are. In an era of materialism, it may be worthwhile to reflect on what really creates happiness in us. The following ten keys, gleaned from the wisdom of traditions may give us some insight.

1. Listen to your body’s wisdom, which expresses itself through signals of comfort and discomfort. When choosing certain behaviour, ask your body. “how do you feel about this?” If your body sends a signal of comfort and eagerness, proceed.

2. Live in present, for it is the only moment you have. Keep your attention on what on here and now; look for the fullness in every moment. Accept what comes to you totally and completely so that you can appreciate it, learn from it, and the let it go. The present is as it should be. It reflects infinite laws of nature that have brought you this exact physical response. This moment is as it is because the universe is as it is. Don’t struggle with the infinite scheme of things; instead, be at one with it.

3. Take time to be silent, to mediate, to claim the internal dialogue. In moments of silence, realise that you are recontacting your source of pure awareness. Pay attention to your inner life so that you can be guided by intuition rather than externally imposed interpretation of what is or is not good for you.

4. Relinquish your need for external approval. You alone are the judge of your worth and your goal is to discover infinite worth in yourself, no matter what anyone else thinks. There is great freedom in this realisation.

5. When you find yourself reacting with anger or opposition to any person or circumstances, realise that you are only struggling with yourself. Putting up resistance is the response of defences created by old hurts. When you relinquish this anger, you will be healing yourself and cooperating with the flow of the universe.

6. Know that the world “out there” reflect your reality “in here”. The people you react to most strongly, whether with love and hate, are projections of your inner world. What you most hate is what you most deny in yourself. What you most love is what you most wish for in yourself. Use the mirror of relationships to guide your evolution. The final goal is total self-knowledge. When you achieve that, what you most want will automatically be there, and what you most dislike will disappear.

7. Shed the burden of judgement- you feel much lighter. Judgement imposed right and wrong on situations that just are. Everything can be understood and forgiven, but when you judge, you cut off understanding and shut down the process of learning to love. In judging others, you reflect your lack of self-acceptance. Remember that every person you forgive adds to your self-love.

8. Don’t contaminate your body with toxins, either through food, drink or toxic emotions. Your body is more than a life-support system. It is the vehicle that will carry you on the journey of your evolution. The health of every cell directly contributes to your state of well being, because every cell is a point of awareness within the field of awareness that is you.

9. Replace fear-motivated behaviour with love-motivated behaviour. Fear is the support of memory, which dwells in the past. Remembering what hurt us before; we direct our energies towards making certain that an old hurt will not repeat itself. But trying to impose the past on the present will never wipe out the threat of being hurt. That happens only when you find the security of your own being, which is love. Motivated by the truth inside you, you can face any threat because your inner strength is invulnerable to fear.

10. Understand that physical world is just a mirror of a deeper intelligence. Intelligence is the invisible organiser of all matter and energy. And since a portion of this intelligence resides in you, you share in the organising power of cosmos. Because you are inseparably linked to everything, you cannot afford to foul the planet’s air and water. But at a deeper level, you cannot afford to live with a toxic mind, because every thought makes an impression on the whole field of intelligence. Living in balance and purity is the highest good for you and the earth.

Alpha Mind : A Miracle Healer

noreply@blogger.com (Sadhuji) — Tue, 10 May 2011 12:55:00 +0000

Alpha Mind : A Miracle Healer

“The thing you set your mind on is the thing you ultimately become” – Nathaniel Hawthrone.

“Within you right now is the power to do things you never dreamed possible. This power becomes available to you just as soon as you can change your beliefs”- Dr Maxwell Maltz.

“The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future or anticipate trouble... but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly”- The Budha.

When it comes to healing, the state of brain is as important as the state of the mind. As per neuro-scientist Paul Mclean, the human brain is divided into three parts. The first part is called reptilian, which regulates breathing, heartbeat, muscle movements and other basic instincts. The second part is called mammalian brain. The third part is the reasoning brain. The cerebral cortex is distinguished by its folds, valleys and ridges, which increases the surface area of the cortex and allows maximum area for grey matter to be packed within the skull. The hypothalamus “is the brain of the brain”, just like the tip of our thumb, yet rules the entire endocrine system.

Generally, the more awake and busy our brain are, the faster the brainwaves. Scientists have divided our brainwaves into several categories. When we are fully alert and mentally engaged, they call it ‘Beta’ state. When we are relaxed and calm, but alert, they call it Alpha state. When we are dreamy, it is Theta state and in deep sleep, it is Delta state.

Beta state : Fully alert and mentally engaged state

Alpha state : when relaxed and calm

Theta state : dreamy state

Delta state : Deep sleep period

Our bodies do the most of the healing while we are in Alpha, Theta and Delta state. The good news is that we can learn to consciously enter Alpha and Theta, and direct that healing with mental imagery and suggestion. According to Jose Silva, the standard way of entering the Alpha is to associate numbers with the desired states.

Number 6 : The outer conscious level,

Number 5 : Eye-lid fatigue

Number 4 : Eyes closed

Number 3 : Physical relaxation

Number 2 : Mental relaxation

Number 1 : The basic plane level that you learn to use for any purpose.

Hypnotherapy also uses Alpha level to suggest to the sub-conscious mind to remove mental blocks, past traumas and unwanted negative thoughts and put positive affirmations for perfect health.

In order to gain the continued experience of deepening we can practice the count down-deepening exercise- counting backward from 100 to 1 or 50 to 1 or 25 to 1. Mental pictures and verbal instructions are the mechanisms for making physical changes at the subjective or Alpha level. This is called programming. While at the Alpha level, we can picture any part of our body that is ailing and heals it. We can overcome any problem like allergies, colds, headache, anxiety, phobias and problems concerning heart, brain, kidney or liver because the mind runs the brain and the brain runs the body, and so the body complies.

Alpha takes you away from the objective realm, the physical world, and into the subjective world, the causative and creative realm, that is the source of the physical world. By entering the Alpha level, we move towards the world within – a step closer to heaven. Existing on these levels you are aware of the going-on of the outside world but not actively in it. With practice, you go deeper in the direction of Alpha, which enables you to use your mind for super-health-for yourself and others. When you reach this state, no bells will ring, no sirens will sound, and voice will announce “this is Alpha”. You will just feel better and better.

NEW YEAR RESOLUTION

noreply@blogger.com (Sadhuji) — Mon, 27 Dec 2010 20:00:00 +0000

Being true to yourself, to your passion and visions,

is the place where evolution begins...

I am a person who stands for a breakthrough for humanity. I stand for human magnificence. I stand for our ability to source-creators, to evolve life and to evolve ourselves into mega-being of great passion, wisdom, wonder and possibility.

I love humanity deeply, proudly, committedly. I think we are some of the bravest beings to come here to a planet where loss of self is the very first thing happen to us...

How many of you are walking around with that mega you inside of you, hidden away safely so it can’t get trampled on one more time? How many of you are hiding behind a mask of something that is not really your humbleness? fierceness? there are lots of masks and lots of reasons to keep wearing them.

Well, i say it is time to come out of the closet; time to throw away those masks and be truely everything you really, genuinely are! Don’t be afraid of your passion, of your power, of your knowing yourself.

When you are coming from the true place, it is impossible to misuse that power. In fact when you are coming from the true place you access a whole new kind of power, a collective power that works continuously and always for the greater good of all. I call it pour(power) because it reflects that it does not belong to any one person, but instead is generated from us all.

This is the year of living vision, this is the year where we as a human race breakthrough; it is already begun. Don’t you see it opening up to themselves, asking great questions, exploring their own wisdom and knowing?

I am a powerful man, not because I want to control and dominate the world, but because I refuse to stay small or to have humanity stay small. I am a powerful man because I refuse to allow myself to be anything less than what it is I stand for as all being. I am not afraid of power, it’s gift that allows us to partner with creation and move things. And you should not be either. From the place of wholeness you learn to trust yourself to do only that which is for the greatest good for all of life. From the place of wholeness you learn that.

We are not perfect. We are human beings. And we are learning to be in a way that has never been known before to mankind. Yes, we will make mistakes and we will clean them up quickly and responsibly when we do. Yes we have been trained to be afraid of power, but why? It only misfired because people tried to contain it within a closed system. If your heart and soul are open, then you will know what is right to do.

If you care deeply and passionately then you cannot hold back what you can offer. It’s time for a new leadership in our world. It is time for a new collective pour to emerge from the very heart and soul of humanity. This can only happen if we each step out of the closet, throw away the masks of indifference and rush headlong and passionately into our new playground of creation.

Those who have already done so, discovering a world of amazing synchronicity of friends who truely get who they are, of a deep and deepening fulfilment with life and of a profound relationship to a new kind of power, the power to create new realities, new futures, new life and last, but not the least, a new humanity that reflects the very deepest and greatest that we all can be.

This year, live the dream that is in your heart. This year come out of the closet and be all you can be. How else are we ever going to become all that we, a new humanity, can be.

This is the soliloque which corresponds to my inner spirit; hope it will corresponds to you too to bring you a new light inclusive of all humanity in a humane way...

SIMPLE MEDITATION

noreply@blogger.com (Sadhuji) — Sat, 17 Jan 2009 18:41:00 +0000

Meditation is nothing but a hearty breathing in more meaningful, delightful and regularly without disturbing.

Before going to sleep put off the light, sit on your bed, close your eyes and exhale through the mouth with a sound ‘oh’. I am saying simple ‘oh’. It will become ‘oum’ automatically. And this sound ‘aum’ is the deepest sound, the most harmonious, the most basic.

When it happens and you enjoy and you flow in its music your whole body and brain relax. With the sound ‘aum’ you will go on relaxing and your sleep will have a different quality.

When you exhaled completely and you feel that now no more exhalation is possible, the whole breath has gone out, stop for a single moment. Don’t inhale, don’t exhale—just stop for a single moment and be a witness – just look what is happening. Witness the whole situation, there in, that single stopped moment. Time is no more there, because time moves with the breaths, breathing is the process of time. In that stopping you can aware of the deepest source of your being and energy. So for a moment stop. Then inhale.

Inhalation is equivalent to life, exhalation equivalent to death. So exhale as totally as possible; that will give you a death moment. That is beautiful because a death moment is the most silent, the most peaceful- that is NIRVANA. Then let the body inhale to the full, and then stop that moment is a life moment- feel it and feel both. That is why I say stop twice- when you have exhaled and when you have inhaled – So you can feel both life and death. These two moments are very significant, you know this is life and this is death. You have transcended both.

One point to remember here, make all effort to exhale, but don’t make any effort to inhale; just let the body take the inhalation. You don’t do anything. That too is beautiful and work wonders

You have exhaled, stopped for a moment, then you allow the body to inhale. You don’t make any effort to inhale; you simply watch the body taking the inhalation. You will face a deep silence surrounding you, because you know your effort is not needed for life, life breathes itself. Your effort is not needed, your ego is not needed- you are not needed. Deep silence will be felt.

When the body has taken full inhalation, stop for a single moment again. Again watch.

These two moments are totally different. When you have exhaled completely and stopped, that stopping moment is just like death. When you have inhaled totally and then stopped that stopping is the climax of life.

LIFE PLUS

noreply@blogger.com (Sadhuji) — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 19:34:00 +0000

A rose is a rose is a rose. You are alive, you are living, and this is life. Now experience life in a more meaningful way – look into the source of your liveliness, source of your life energy- just go in – forget everything, the whole world. Even for a few moments as if you are alone. Going deep into the life reveals that life is a mystic to be experienced, but it can not be explained. That is why I said “A rose is a rose is a rose.”

And the rose is something out side you, but life is all that you are. But for thousands of years you have been conditioned not to live, just survive. You have been told by the religions to renounce everything that can give you a taste of life.

My effort is just opposite of all religions. I don’t want to the category of life-negative people. I am utterly in love with life.

My approach is life-affirmative. You dance, you sing, you love, you meditate. In different ways, try to feel your aliveness. What ever you are doing do it so intensely and so totally that your full life starts functioning, that you start throbbing.

Wild or not to be wild !

What is wrong in being wild ? I don’t see anything wrong in it. To be too civilized may be dangerous- a little wildness is good. In a better world, with more understanding about human nature, we will keep a balance between civilization and wildness. And it is the source of creativity and innovation.

If your wildness is not destructive to anybody, it is perfectly religious. If your wildness is just your expression of your freedom and it is not in interference with any body else’s freedom – if it is not a trespass on anybody else’s life, liberty – it is perfectly good.

Be Erotic or Not to be Erotic !

A man whose eros is fully alive is a master. On the other words destroying eros, like making human being slaves. A man whose eros is fully flowering does not bother about anything. A man who is really in love with life and enjoying it will not bother about becoming the President or Prime Minister of a country. The man who is really living his eros will not even go to the church or temple. Because he has found real temple. Love is his prayer.

A person whose eros has been killed become very weak. Haven’t you seen a bull or an ox ? The erotic freedom of bull when destroyed it becomes an ox. An ox is a poor specimen. A bull is something alive. The bull is so erotic, such a perfect eros. And look at an ox pulling a bullock cart – a slave.

Destroying eros will make mankind to be slaves. That is what it has been done up to now. In the future eros, has to become the religion. Love should be the worship. Eros is the source of creativity, love, affinity, humanity and ultimately the God.

Joy is very simple. If you allow life to flow through you in a natural way, joy is a natural phenomenon. Let the erotic instincts be liberated in natural way, in spontaneous way and in harmony with others (not by the application of force or interfering others freedom or rights). And it does not wait at the end of the journey, it here, it is now… Right Now…..

Don’t listen to anybody. Whatsoever you enjoy, enjoy it and accept its consequences – because there will be consequences. If you enjoy sleeping you cannot become a very rich man; only the people suffering from insomnia can become rich.

So Live joyously, guiltlessly, live totally live intensely. And then heaven is no more metaphysical concept, it is your won experience.
