Awareness

                                                                           

                        The term awareness implies the fully restored consciousness one gets to awaken after transcending the fifth spiritual plane. The state of the fully restored awareness signifies the state of Self-Realisation. All of us except the special few are born into this world as sub-conscious  human beings. When we learn to be aware during our preliminary meditative sessions we start transforming ourselves into conscious human beings. The aware or conscious spiritual states are the first three levels of spiritual planes. When one is aware during his meditative session, it means one is conscious of his object of attention.  As one starts becoming aware and conscious  during ones meditative sessions, the process of observation of the mind by instrumenting meditative techniques through the aware or conscious medium, one normally transcends “The Known” or the area which the brain facilitates and reaches a most tranquil area of stillness and quietness. This area is the source of thought and the threshold through which one capacitates his potential to have his awareness fully restored. In other words, being aware during our meditative sessions is the only key through which awareness is awakened and the state of Self-Realisation established.

                     The gradual spiritual awakening process of being aware and conscious with a hundred percent spiritual commitment makes us go beyond the threshold for a fully restored awareness and it is when we transcend the fifth spiritual plane that we forever get ourselves established into the abundant spiritual realm of Self-Awareness. “What is it that the spiritually affluent Self-Awareness state teach us about?” When we reach the state of Self-Awareness our awareness starts becoming fully aware about the Infinite and Eternal play of the entire manifested Cosmos. The Infinite leela or play of God which is directly responsible for the creation-sustenance-renewal process of us animate beings, the not so intelligent animal creatures and the inanimate things is realized once we transform ourselves into fully aware spiritual beings. The Self-Awareness state is mainly about accepting the Infinite Will of God as they are or to be in a state of total acceptance to the great leela or miracle of God.  “What does the state of total acceptance further signify?” The state of total acceptance further signifies a neutral state or a state of no-reaction to all the significant sub-atomic, atomic , molecular and right up to the greater details that God plans for us. “What is it that a neutral state or a state of no-reaction still further signify?” It further signifies maintaining  a balance, a state of equanimity or a spiritually disciplined state with all of Gods Infinite and Eternal creation. The other aspect that develops is the greatest form of love one has for in the world, and that is towards God. This kind of love that develops towards God cannot be described and put into words. Words are not enough to describe this kind of love that develops towards God.

                     The next in line of awareness is God- awareness. The seeds of God-awareness generates love in you to garner affection and tenderness not only to animate but also to the inanimate as well. We learn to respect the non-living things on an equal footing with the living things. You learn that it is not only with the living things but the non-living things should also be handled with great tenderness, gentleness and respect. Because in reality, both the living and non-living things are composed of pure energy. Therefore, being composed of pure energy both of these categories can be termed as pure consciousness or God. Since both of these categories of creation are composed of pure energy don’t you think the inanimate would be equally hurt and wounded if you snap a lifeless toy with a machete as when you hurtle a rock onto  a passingby beggar? So when you get established in God-awareness you will be careful enough not to graze roughly past even a rock because both the animate and inanimate have equal degrees of gentleness and tenderness in them. This is the sole reason why the spiritually noble ones tread the earth gently.

                         As we transcend the sixth spiritual plane we are forever established in the Unitarian or Absolute-awareness. Being  a torchbearer of the highest Supreme Truth and the Absolute plane, the transformation of the highest form of love, compassion, is generated to help an ailing world gather itself together by undertaking the only humanitarian task in the entire Cosmos, the path of Dharma. So this is not something like a master of some mystery school panicking and misusing his siddhis unnecessarily to dispel the bad omen to his sadgurus movement but to generate and distribute the seeds of compassion and love all beings equally the same. All of us, human beings, are created in the image of God. So we can conclude that we are all reflection of Gods spirit. Realising that we are none other than reflection of Gods spirit is the next and final spiritual evolutionary realization of the seventh Unitarian plane. As Meher Baba states that the future of humanity is in the hands of those who have this vision. Yes!!! the future of humanity is truly in the hands of those who get to realise that “We are none other than  concentrations of one united Universal spirit.”

                         There is a direct realization of the most Supreme Godhead  once we are forever established into the seventh plane and not some cock-eyed theory about the existence of the Non-Existence. Being God realized would mean being Enlightened and the unaware awareness and the kaput theory of the Non-Being, atheistic and the anti-God stance would mean forever being swamped in the unconscious consciousness of a great delusory  delusion. In reality, all these Non-Being spiritual beings are in an indirect manner worshipping the most Supreme Godhead. It is because these people also believe in the role of us human beings as being the non-doer and as the Infinite Being being the doer. In practical and realistic spiritual terms, the doer who is the Infinite Being is none other than the most Supreme Godhead. So whenever  these Non-Being hardliners prostrate to the Infinite Being they are actually prostrating at the Divine feet of the most Supreme Godhead.

                      And we have this Osho who spread the message across that setting about with a  cocktail practice of a game of Dhiki-Chyaun(See-Saw) and meditation can reach anyone to the state of the most highest Supreme Reality. Whereas, the truth is that only celibates have that rare opportunity of getting to realize the most Supreme Truth. And he further tries to clarify that sex is like eating chocolates. “No!!! sex is not like eating chocolates. It is a chaste union between two chaste partners, Fullstop!!!”  We have more of these Oshos  into the world scene and we are going to have even five year olds going around with (contraceptive) condoms and pills stuffed into their pockets.

                        May God shower us all with his Infinite Blessings and Grace so that we all get to realise that it is not wise to stagnate, getting tranquilised by the material because the mortal is us dies but that we should all aspire to transcend onto a higher ground, the spiritual realm  because it is only the soul which is immortal , never dies and lives forever.
