The Unbounded Self

                                                     
                            The limitless or the without bounds capacity of the Unbounded Self are unearthed once we forever become grounded into the superconscious states, into the Unified field, the field of the  unknown, the field of Infinite possibilities, the field of everlasting  happiness, the field of pure potentiality or to put it simply, into the field of Reality or into the field of God. The word Unbounded means without limits, without bounds or without boundaries. Therefore, the field of Reality or the field of God is a  realm with limitless, without bounds or without boundary capacities of the Unbounded Self. For example, let us look at what the Infinite Witness or the most Supreme Godhead is doing to carry out His leela or play in the entire Cosmos. The cycle of day and night is carrying on  every twelve hours at the precise time, the seasons change exactly every four months, the sun provides us with the needed energy at the appropriate amount and never scorches us beyond the limits to burn us down, the late evening welcomes the rise of the moon which gives us exactly the needed amount of coolness during summer and never freezes us ice-cold, the role of earth, water and air helps keep the planet’s ecosystem in a harmonious balance, the earth spins on a perfect axis around the sun and has been continuing to spin since billions of years etc. The Infinite Being or the most  Supreme Godhead is capable of all  this not only with our planet but with an Infinite expanse of planets that exists in our Universe. Not only this, the Infinite Being or God is capable of doing simply anything. Now you can yourself figure out what a reflection of God’s Spirit, that is all of us, who has united with God and transformed himself into a God is capable of doing with the aid of his fully awake Spirit! In other words, to start acting from the level of God is to start playing one’s specified role with a capacity which is unlimited and without any boundaries.



                      To transcend the area of the Unbounded Self implies to forever get grounded into  the field of Reality. And, to get ourselves established into the field of Reality means to get ourselves grounded into the realm of Godhood or God. To enter the field of Reality is to know that the essence of human life lies in transcending the human senses, getting ourselves completely detached from the pull of the sex centre or the sensory organs and living the life of a true celibate like the living Gods, J.Krishnamurti, Paramhansa Yogananda, Maharshi Mahesh Yogi, Ramana Maharshi, Sri Sathya Sai Baba or a Sanjaya Sai Baba. Coming to terms with Reality does not imply claiming oneself a true celibate and having sex behind people’s back with one’s own disciple, Ma Sheela, and with the wife of Sri Chinmoy like the infamous Non-Being hardliner Osho. Coming to terms with Reality implies that we  shed our mortal coil of the individual self to abide in the Unbounded Self forever. Being on a sojourn of Reality means that we start the only realistic journey of human beings which is the life of permanent happiness.  And to become a living resident of the realm of Reality signifies that we as reflections and concentrations of God’s Supreme Spirit have become God realised, one with God and that we have transformed ourselves into the image of God Himself. And lastly, to become one with the Highest Reality or with God denotes to become endowed with such an elevated state of consciousness which dictates to us the law that simply everyone under the sun, moon and the stars are a reflection or concentrations of the Universal Spirit.



                         The Unbounded Self  flowers with the dawn of a cent percent authenticity. The Unbounded Self acts from the source and not from the surface, boundary or periphery. Since it starts acting from the very essence and the very source, the Unbounded Self is  something  that is fully authentic. The authenticity of the Unbounded Self is permanent because of the fully restored Soul awareness whereas the phony act of originality form the levels of the intellect and the body is not genuine because of the pseudo nature and impermanent existence of the mental and physical frame.The genuine nature of the Unbounded Self is original since it springs forth  from the very origin which is the fully awake Spirit because the vibrant Soul is the symbol of innocence and virginity. On the other hand, the act of originality from the levels of the mental and physical frame is a cent percent phony since it has a habit of wavering at the slightest excuse and it is often inclined to deviate away from the so-called path or sense of authenticity because it can never take the highs and lows of human life with equanimity. The phony act of originality that is exercised from the levels of the human intellect and the body normally has fluctuations in straightness of the heart. Therefore, we can now conclude that the Unbounded Self which exercises pure soul abilities straight from the source is the only medium which develops genuine and permanent nature of authenticity.



                          A perfectly grounded modesty is another Soul quality of the Unbounded Self. The moment we come to terms with the role of the Infinite Will in our lives is the very first step in harmonizing our Soul nature with the quality of spiritual humility. To be a spiritually modest person implies to offer the state of non-resistance to the Infinite Will. It further means a state of non-interference to the role of the Ultimate Will in our lives. We  always learn to stay non-reactive to the play of the Supreme Will in our life and furthermore, being non-resistive, non-interfering and non-reactive to the leela or play of the Unconquerable Will in our  lives implies to remain in the state of total and complete acceptance throughout our spiritual life on the planet.



                           The Unbounded Self maintains a balance of the Soul abilities and qualities and keeps us in great harmony by keeping us in sync with the Universal rhythms. There is a balance of the state of permanent happiness and we are happy all the time without a single cause or reason. We become endowed with an evenness of spiritual virtues like the Anahatic love, attraction for beauty that stands for great purity and the quality of the goodness of a perfect lady or a thorough gentleman. We are more peaceful, happy and a man without a single problem as we forever transcend the state of no-desires. The ruthless  play of the opposite polarities no longer bothers us and no more robs us of the state of everlasting and permanent happiness as we are neither repelled nor attracted by the villainous interplay of the opposing forces  or the tyrannical play of the human emotions in our lives. Great harmony enters our life as we become completely in sync with the Universal rhythms when we become successful in transcending the Absolute plane. When we become One with the Universal rhythms is the moment when we become One with great harmony.



              As Mr.Dipak Chopra the great says,

TO LIVE AND PLAY IN THE ABUNDANT FIELD OF THE UNBOUNDED SELF IS NOT IN LITERAL BUT IN REALISTIC TERMS, TO BE POWERFUL, FREE AND TO LIVE IN INFINITE GRACE.
