Yes!!! The
human life is a cosmic joke. The material life is a great tragedy for the
materialists and the spiritual life is a comedy for the spiritualists. The
mortal man involved in a saga of tragedies says," Human life is less than we
deserve." On the other hand the spiritual man who considers himself to be the happiest and the luckiest prefers
to say, “ Human life is something more than we deserve.” The material life is a
tragic saga of poverty, low self-esteem, unhappiness, discomfort, misery,
innumerable wants, sexual perversion, money, sex, power,lust, luxury and the
various relatives of atheistic vices for
the material man. While, on the other hand, the spiritual life is a boon of the
effortless effort of your fully awake Soul or the field of Infinite Grace to
have the power to manifest your desires for anything you want, absolutely for
free and without having to invest a single penny, the state of total and
complete freedom which enables you to get unshackled from the limited boundary of the individual self and start
functioning from the unlimited field of the Unbounded Self, making you totally
fearless, not even fearing death, and the field of Power, which endows you with
the gift of your vibrant Spirit to create any kind of reality you want to
experience.
There is a stage in
the spiritual life, the Cosmic consciousness state, in which the fully awake
Spirit stays fixed and rigid even to the most strongest influences in your life
in the form of tragedies, the greatest form of suffering, the most unexpected
misfortunes, the loss of life of the
ones closest to you, the most embarassing failures or even a close encounter
with death. The awareness of the Cosmic
plane forever gives you freedom form the attachment with the persons you are attached to the most
in life. The moment you are totally detached from the ones closest to you,
there shall cease to be any sorrowful experiences from the cause of your most
loved ones. The permanent happiness state no more makes excuses for you to be
happy and you are abundantly happy without a single cause or reason. The state
of Infinite Grace is another factor to
the end of tragedies in your life and
for the entry of comedies as from then on your master card, credit
card, bank account or your financial source to fulfill your minimum basic needs
shall start being the effortless effort of your fully vibrant Soul and not
plastic money, pay cheques or your financial deposit in your local bank.
“The material life is
a saga of the most pitiful tragedies while the spiritual life is a comic strip
of the most humorous comedies”
-Ashwas Thapa
“The Self-Realized man
still acts and the fruits of his actions still affect his body and mind, but
since his identity is now derived from the inner Self, changes in the outer
world are no longer threatening”
-The T.M. Technique
Any
changes in the external world, whatever they may be, is no longer threatening
to the Self-Realised man. Tragedies in the form of any threatening situations,
loss of life of someone close to you, the most humiliating failures,
embarassing defeats, plightful human suffering, a face to face encounter with death, maybe a divorce with
the love of your life or the witnessing of plane crash of an Airbus 380 right
in front of your eyes are some tragic examples which shall no longer create even a ripple in your awareness or
consciousness. The fully restored awareness of the man established in
Self-Awareness is immune or resistant to the most heart rending tragedies in
the external world. The Soul awareness of the cosmically aware man stays
permanently rigid and fixed, without fluctuating or wavering, devoid of a
single ripple in the ocean of his consciousness even when faced with the worst
form of tragedies. You start playing the
role of Archie and your soulmate the character of Betty because your entire
life starts transforming into a comic strip of the most comical comedies as the
most heart ripping tragedies stop affecting you point-blank.
“Attachment
is a hellhole of suffering while detachment is a paradise of Eternal Bliss”
-Ashwas Thapa
Nobody,
absolutely not a single human being is detached from birth. Everybody is
attached to their parents, soulmates, offsprings, kins and friends after they
arrive into the world. But the state of attachment is not what the reality
about and the bitter truth is that our spiritual endowment or our divine
essence bestows on us the truly religious legacy of being detached from
everyone we are ever attached to. This is one of the realities of the
Self-Realised state because in reality there are no relations like an
offspring, parents, kins or friends. One of the most successful contemporary
saints of our time, Mr. Dipak Chopra, has to say that all of us are nothing but
recycled earth, water and air or mere raw materials of the Universe. Great
responsibility lies in the role of responsible parents in guiding their issues
to the Kingdom of God or encouraging their offsprings to start the spiritual
growth process as many may yet not be
aware that it is only the fully restored awareness that inspires their
posterity to love them unconditionally, selflessly, truly and devotedly. The
superhuman quality of the Self-Realised state enables us to look at the various
tragedies, misfortunes, sufferings, failures, misery, wants, expectations or
loss of our loved ones with a detached observation or with the constant celebration
of our around the clock awareness. It is not that there is absence of love and
care, in fact, our affection to our loved ones comes with an endowment of no
conditions attached, is even more selfless, is far more true, pure and with
lots of devotion after we become spiritually elevated. And to reveal another reality
to my most loved readers - Our state of constant celebration starts making us
celebrate even imminent death. “What more of a comical life would my dear
readers expect when even death starts putting on the nature of a great comedy?”
“Spending capital and
punishing effort to get what you want is tragic and attaining the desired fruit
with neither expending any effort nor capital is indeed very comical”
-Ashwas Thapa
The
material man expends effort and thus gets hold of plastic money in the from of
credit and master cards, pay cheques, bank deposits to acquire his needs,
provide for his wife and children, maybe to buy himself a new vehicle, purchase
a Victorian bungalow, to pay his medical insurance or to hire out an expensive
yacht to cruise around the world, even then is not satisfied and therefore
lives a life of great tragedy but the most comical reality is that a spiritual
being on the other hand just releases the notion of his desire into his fully
awake awareness and the desired fruit comes to him without him having to spend a
single penny or expending punishing effort. “Capital” is the need to fulfill
the desire of a material man but the execution of the effortless effort of ones
fully alive Soul without having to spend a single penny to get whatever one
wants is the norm for a spiritual man. A soldier has to risk his life on the battlefield
to earn his monthly salary, a stuntman plays with life and death to perform
stunts only to earn a couple of thousand bucks. A Formula One racer speeds his
racing machine at hundreds of miles per hour and has face to face encounters
with death. For what ? Only to sustain
his relationship with his mistress who may be a Supermodel. Now look at
the brighter side of life, into the lives of all spiritually elevated beings
and you can yourself evaluate whether being spiritual and meditating is
worthwhile. The spiritual man even conquers death and is endowed with the
superhuman ability to get anything he
wants without spending a single penny by merely releasing the notion of his
desire into his awareness! What more acts of tragedy can there be when the material
man spends his lifetime of energy to sustain his life and even then dies an
unsatisfied human and there can be nothing more comical when the spiritual
being neither has to spend any capital
nor expend any effort to get whatever he may desire !!!
“ To be abundantly happy without a cause
or reason is to lead a life of comedy”
-Ashwas Thapa
“If you have lost
touch with your internal source of joy, if the happiness you experience always
originates in circumstances outside yourself, then you are at the mercy of
every situation and every stranger you meet. This kind of happiness is always
elusive”
-Dipak
Chopra
(Book: Power Freedom and Grace)
Ordinary
materialistic humans need a cause or a reason to be happy but the spiritual
beings who lead a life of comedy do not require excuses to remain in the state
of happiness. Maybe a peck on the lips by one’s spouse, a non-vegetarian joke
to break into peals of laughter, a romantic date with one’s soulmate, a sleek
Porsche for a vehicle, rolling the dices at Las Vegas, a private trip to the
Carribean beaches, a soothing body massage by a hot blonde or a quiet and
peaceful trekking trip along the Himalayan ranges are some of the reasons that
makes a materialist happy, but impermanently. Being permanently happy independent of external
circumstances or without a cause or reason demands the extreme necessity for
your Soul nature to be awakened. The material life with occasional sparks of
impermanent happiness amidst sorrow, sadness, failure, want, shortcomings,
downfalls, suffering, misfortune, ill-fate, bad omens etc is tragic and means
to lead a life of tragedy but living from your Source and attaining the state
of everlasting happiness and being permanently happy without having to depend
on the mercy of every situation and every stranger you meet or without any
excuses, reason or a cause is comical and implies leading a life of great
comedy.
