Purity of thought is a
state of thought which can never be achieved by the normal ordinary human
beings who are ever swamped in the mortal coil of material pursuit but is something which is only within the
reach of the spiritually elevated beings. Normal human beings may be into the
ritual and practice of researching religious texts, mantra chantation, idol
worship, pilgrimage, fasting, superficial satsangs, devotional singing, into
the practice and being strict
disciplinarians of rigorous religious vows, namasmarana of the various man-made
Gods etc but all these rituals can never establish them into the permanent
field of pure thought , therefore, attaining purity of thought with which to
get devoted and have faith in their respective deities, getting established in
an unflinching and unwavering devotion to their religious idols so as to attain
freedom from the karmic bondage of sins, to achieve salvation and true
liberation is only a distant dream for these religious followers that can never
be realised until they don’t get grounded in the spiritual growth process and
establish themselves as torchbearers of the most Supreme Truth. There have been
biased spiritual beings who have spearheaded their own theories about the path
of devotion being the greatest and the most supreme yogic path but genuine
bhakti which has its source in the purity of thought can
only be generated and put into authentic practice by spiritually
elevated beings who have at least transcended the Anahat chakra or the fourth
spiritual centre. It would be a sound disclosure to declare that “Purity of
thought” is a state which can never be achieved by even the most pious human
devotee of God on planet earth but only by the chosen few who have chanced to
be lucky enough to have transcended the forth spiritual centre.
Let us look at some
prerequisites and requirements to reach the transcendental state or purity of
thought or the source of thought. Mr. Dipak Chopra states that there are
techniques to access the field of pure potentiality, the source of thought,
purity of thought, the transcendental state, the Anahat or the heart centre, the field of Power, Freedom and
Grace or the field of Infinite Possibilities.
“One way to access the
field is through the daily practice of silence, meditation, and non-judgement.
Spending time in nature will also give you access to the qualities inherent in
the field:infinite creativity, freedom, and bliss.”
-Dipak Chopra
(Book:The
Seven Spiritual Laws of Success)
Mr.Dipak Chopra
states that the above practice aids in quieting down your ever turbulent mind
or your internal dialogue beacause a turbulent mind constricts the flow of
energy between you and the field of pure potentiality. Therefore, the above
practice helps in quieting down your mind to reach your mind to the place of
stillness or the source of thought. Practicing silence means spending some time
in complete quietness without the use of speech. You may practice the vow
of silence for one hour, two hours or
for sometimes the whole days of a week. It also means abstaining from reading a
book, listening to music and watching television at regular intervals.
Non-judgement would normally mean not judging people, things, situations and
circumstances around you. If you find it difficult to practice the vow of
non-judgement on a continuous stretch you can regulate it from one or two hours
and finally increase the time for the practice of non-judgement. Nature is
something which is in complete coordination with Infinite Consciousness and so
communing and spending time in nature will help you awaken the nature of your
soul and maintain a rhythmic relation with the field of Infinite possibilities.
Spending time in nature would normally mean sitting nearby a lake, a river,
ocean or a forest for one or two hours on a stretch. Moments soon arrive when
you realise that you can never uncover the unknown. This implies you will
realise at regular intervals that you shall never become an awakened being.
This is the criteria to realise that you have reached the source of thought or
that your mind has finally been grounded in the area of stillness.
“Power, freedom and grace are attributes
of this field.”
-Dipak Chopra
(Book:Power,Freedom
and Grace)
“What
is Power?”
“Power is the ability
to manifest anything you want, including any reality that you want to
experience.Real power comes from the essence of Infinity, which is your
source;it comes from the source of all power, the one Being.”
-Dipak Chopra
(Book:Power, Freedom and Grace)
“What
is Freedom?”
“Freedom comes from
the experiential knowledge of our true nature, which is already free.It comes
from finding out that our real essence is the joyful field of Infinite
consciousness that animates all of creation.To have the experience of that silent witness is just to
be. Then we are free. In this state of freedom, we understand that life is the
meaningful coexistence of all opposite values. We may experience happiness or
we may experience pain and suffering, but we do not get attached to pleasure
and we do not recoil in fear of pain. In freedom, we even lose
our fear of death, because the belief in mortality is just a spell that
we have cast upon ourselves.”
-Dipak
Chopra
(Book:Power, Freedom and Grace)
“And,
what is Grace?”
“Grace is the effortless
flow of existence that comes when you are living in harmony with life, when the
rhythms of your body-mind are in sync with nature’s rhythms. To live in grace is to experience that state of
consciousness where things flow and your desires are easily fulfilled. Grace is
magical, synchronistic, coincidental, joyful.It’s that good-luck factor. And how do you live in
grace? It’s simple. Just allow the Universe to flow through you without
interfering.”
-Dipak Chopra
(Book:Power, Freedom and Grace)
When we attain purity of thought and transcend the fourth spiritual
centre our human senses gets dissolved and we start becoming great admirers of
beauty and not of sexuality. The Anahatic love develops and we are forever
grounded with goodness and the virtuous qualities. We are forever free from the
contradictory play of the opposing forces in our lives or the human emotions.
These are the significant changes that develops with the restoration of the
fully awake Anahat chakra.
“
What are the advantages of the state of purity of thought ?”
It is the
untainted thinking ability of the soul to have purity of thought to all beings,
living creatures and the situations and circumstances around you and
subsequently developing an unflinching, unwavering and genuine devotion towards the most Supreme Godhead because of
pure thinking abilities. One is now independent to the play of the opposite
forces which had till now been robbing him of the state of permanent happiness.
The reinvigoration of the soul helps one to be a true Son of God endowed with
all the virtuous qualities and strengthens all of his relationships with the
perfect quality of goodness. The quality of goodness develops to emanate that
goodness feature to do good, be good and see good among all the good human beings of the planet. The Anahat develops
love to all beings, living creatures and inanimate things equally and
alike with no ground for discrimination and demarcation. The restoration of the
special and one of a kind of Anahatic love which is especially granted by God
aids one to love a friend or a foe, a sinner or a saint and a perfect lady or a whore with a neutral
and a balanced feeling. The Anahatic love propels one to develop that special
affection of Universal Brotherhood to love not only his country but the entire
world together as one. The human senses have now dissolved to pave way for an
aspirant to become great admirers of beauty and for beauty that stands for great purity. He
sees the entire Universe as one beautiful piece of God’s creation. The growth of consciousness in one lone individual and the ever prevailing peace effect he generates on the planet converts him into a devotee of God
who can spiritually influence countless lives, swamped with the hopeless and
helpless plight of spiritual incapacity to contain their lives. The fourth
spiritual centre is the threshold to the state of Self-Realisation, God
consciousness and the Ultimate state of Enlightment.
To reinvigorate
the dormant human soul to a fully alive one and transforming ourselves onto the
various states of consciousness is the only requirement expected of human
beings. Let us not while countless lives in the circle of birth and death but
rather let us seize opportunities
this very life of the ongoing
cycle of consciousness revolution and make our mortal coil worthwhile by taking
that quantum leap into the Unknown.
