Purity of devotion

        

                       
                         Almost a cent percent of the devotees of various man-made Gods have reasons, causes, silly excuses for getting devoted to their respective spiritual idols and it is often seen in most of the cases of humanistic devotion that the materialistic devotees of the Gods are desirous of fruits for their purpose of devotion. The so-called pure and pious devotees of God get themselves devoted to their object of devotion as long as the fair weather prevails but as the various cause and effect in their lives take a different turn and when they contact misfortune in their lives resulting in great sorrow, suffering and tragedies is the precise moment in their mortal coil when the once upon a time love, affection, devotion and the extremely holy feelings they had for God dwindles, dies away, leaving their faith in God to wither away very much like the leaves that turn chocolate brown during autumn. It is a reality not known to many  devotees of God that the human mind is a pseudo existence and thus an inefficient medium to express their heartfelt devotion towards their object of devotion simply for the sole reason that the mortal brain is filled to the brim with too many impurities. It  would not be a blunder to refute the claims of some highly acclaimed saint by relaying that there are no pure devotees of God on the human level. These are the naked realities about the humanistic mode of devotion and now let us evaluate the purity of devotion that all spiritually elevated  beings have towards the most Supreme Godhead and try to gauge what pure devotion implies from a spiritual perspective.



                      The unadulterated and pure state of the human Soul gives a spiritual aspirant no reasons, causes and silly excuses for the purpose of getting themselves devoted to the most Supreme Godhead nor does the fully awake virgin Spirit makes the devout devotees of the Divine Mother desirous of any fruits for their pious, pure and truly religious affection towards their object of devotion. The reinvigoration of the human psyche paves the way for the overhaul of the self-bound and conditioned individual self to the transformation of the selfless, unconditional and deconditioned, Unbounded Self. Therefore, the selfless, unconditional and deconditioned Unbounded Self places no conditions on the spiritual devotee for their purpose of devotion. The limited, bounded and selfish individual self that had an infinity of reasons  and silly excuses for their objective of devotion no longer restricts the devotee within the confines of devotion-for-a-cause as the Soul has now taken command nor does the rejuvenation of the vibrant Spirit conditions the devotee, implanting a desire, making him desirous of any fruits for his pure devotion towards the most Supreme Godhead. Since  the limitless and unbounded field of the Unbounded Self forever dissolves the limited and bounded nature of the individual self, devotion from the source of the elevated Spirit is a cent percent selfless as the selfish ego does not hold ground any longer. Contacting misfortunes are bygones forever in the truly devotional spiritual life of a fully awake Soul traveler as one step beyond the threshold of the Anahat is a life of the most comical comedies similar to the ones we come across in comic strips whereas, just a rung of ladder down the superconscious state is a mortal coil  intertwined with a saga of the most tragic tragedies like we come across in Shakespearean tragedies. How can the pure, true, selfless, unconditional and deconditioned devout devotion of a superconscious spiritual traveler deviate, waver or fluctuate when  someone who undertakes the journey of the fully awake Soul does not contact any misfortune in his life as his life is a bed of the most fragrant roses filled to the brim with the most comical  comedies? The superconscious ground of the vibrant and elevated Spirit is the field with pure thoughts. Purity of thought is grounded once we are forever established into the region beyond the Anahat and it is this purity of thought that produces purity of devotion. So, purity of devotion which is a product of purity of thought comes about only when we  succeed in going beyond the state of no-mind, reach the stillness of mind, reaching the source of thought and therefore unearthing the field of purity of thought. Purity of devotion which is product of purity of thought is a treasure reserved only for those who have succeeded in becoming permanent residents of the field of everlasting happiness or the region beyond the Anahat Chakra. The above spiritual facts are some of the reasons which proves that Dhyan Yog or the spiritual path is the only yogic path that generates pure devotees with purity of devotion.



                          As we go beyond from the conscious state into the superconscious field, we succeed in transcending the human senses and as a result reach an area of “Zero sexual thought”. The flowering of the Anahat chakra opens us up to the divine opportunity of converting ourselves into great adherents of “Untouched virgin beauty” or beauty of great purity. The moment we establish ourselves as staunch devotees of beauty which is God is the opportune time in our spiritual lives when there is not a single sexual thought emanating from the depths of our untouched, unadulterated and virgin Soul. So one of the primary criterias to become a pure devotee of God with purity of devotion is to transcend ourselves into the untouched, virgin field of the first superconscious state from which starts the unbounded area of “Zero sexual thought”. So the spiritual time in our lives when we start perceiving beauty in the full blossom of an orchid between the crevices of  a rock, when the beautiful and innocent chuckle of a newborn child captivates us, the divine perception of God in the glow of roses of your garden, getting enraptured by the symbol of profound silence that Sri Sri Ravishankers discourses emanate or being able to perceive God in the divine bark of your German Shepherd is the moment to know that all your sensory perception has given away to the spiritual charm of being a diehard devotee of “Untouched virgin beauty” or beauty of great purity which in turn signifies that you have just transformed yourself into a genuine and pure devotee of the most Supreme Godhead. The generation of the untainted  or the unadulterated state of the heart emanates undiscriminated love from the depths of our awakened Soul which enables us to shower pure love on everybody without any lines of demarcation as we become enlightened enough to perceive from then on that friend or a foe, a perfect lady or a whore, the rich or poor, a billionaire or a pauper, a beggar or an Emperor or a fag or a lesbian, love that springs forth from the depths of the Anahat is meant to be felt equally for all the equal beings and not something to be classified between the classifications of the rich or the poor, a beggar or an Emperor and a fag or a lesbian. The Anahatic love felt for all the equal beings on an even footing is yet another milestone in transforming ourselves into devotees of the most Supreme Godhead. The goodness nature of good human beings or a thorough gentleman and a perfect lady enables the fourth state spiritual traveler to express the good conduct of goodwill with no class distinction between the societal classifications of people from different walks of life. He is busy exchanging greetings with a vegetable vendor, a rickshaw driver or a porter as much as he enjoys going to parties with the stinking rich, the famous or the high profile people. The expression of goodwill of the goodness nature of a thorough gentleman or a perfect lady is another stepping stone of the success story of a spiritualist established in pure devotion towards the most Supreme Godhead!!!


MORAL: The flowering of the heart and being the torchbearers of the Light of the Anahat is of the highest and urgent importance to establish  ourselves as pure devotees of the most Supreme Godhead with the needed purity of devotion!!!
