God Inside Us : Ethos Spiritual Consciousness Clinic Delhi, India

God is omnipresent and so is inside us. God Inside Us who sees everything what do we think, feel and act. It is there to judge and decide our destiny. Those in harmony with God Within are wise and happy. Those not, only create internal unhappiness although externally they may boast of artificial happiness like money. It is up to you to be one with God Within or in conflict. Choice is yours.

God is there inside

So many religions but God is one. God is present everywhere. With universal presence, God is present inside us is watching all that we go through, all that we think, all that we do. No one can hide anything from God within. No one can fool God. We all get what we deserve. Right?

Think again.

We all know this but see again what is happening around. Specially see what do we do. We manipulate, play fraud, lie, deceive others, hurt others, forgets our duties, claim more than we deserve. And then we rush to God to save us from problems. We offer money at places of worship or do charity to wipe out our sins.

Is God fool?

No.

God does not need any proof. No excuses works. You get what you have given. So be ready.

In our day to day discussion, people talk about being spiritual and non spiritual.

Usually those people are considered as spiritual who are:

– God fearing (or God loving)
– Who perform religious rituals
– Who go to places of worships

And non spiritual / materialistic people are:

– Those who do not care much about God talk
– Those who run after pleasures of life
– Those who accumulate assets

Sometimes spiritual and non spiritual also used to differentiate right minded & wrong minded persons respectively.

But in reality everyone is spiritual by default. No one is out of realm of nature and nature is self governed by single universal energy system called by various names like Supreme Consciousness or God.

Now since everyone is spiritual being part of nature, all that can happen is that the individuals may be in harmony with this supreme consciousness i.e. God or in conflict.

Harmony is identity of Yog (Union) and this is order. In this one identifies with whole and then lives a life accordingly. Whereas conflict is disorder where one see oneself as separate being and lives a life of self centered selfishness.

Result – In first one lives in peace with cooperation with others. In second one is always at war to win so unhappiness for self and others.

It is up to you, which way you wish to move on.

 What a sorry state. World is so successfully fooled in the name of God. World is full of temples, mosques, churches. There are discourses by preachers of every religion attended by masses and watched on TV by large population.  But what is the outcome. Religion has become a big business. Huge amount of money is donated to these religious place, to these preachers. Some social work is done but that is nothing compared to amount of money that goes to them. World is suffering from poverty, there is no food / water / medicine for huge population. But these so called religion places and people sit on such huge amount of money unaccounted. This is fraud in the name of God. Is this what religion or spirituality is all about. Ask yourself honestly.

This must change. These so called religious places and people should get registered as NGO (Non Government Organization) and be properly accounted completely towards social welfare. Donation boxes must be sealed and opened in front of audit agency. Money and articles collected must be used for social welfare through reputed NGO’s.

The preachers must know that they hold responsible place and must not say or do anything to divide society. God is one. Any thing said or done which can spread disharmony is definitely against God.

The entire purpose of places of worship and of preachers is to promote sensible, meaningful spirituality among human beings to create sensible, wiser and better human beings and to create better humanity for a better world where all live in harmony. Unfortunately these places of worship and preachers have failed to do so. It is time that all human beings including preachers honestly do some introspection. We must try to become sensibly spiritual rather than madly religious. God does not get tempted by how many hours you have spent in prayers, how much you have blindly donated to such places, what all pilgrimage you have done. Do not try to fool God. All that is required is to have genuine love for God in your heart & soul and attitude of fairness & compassion for others.

What is the real spiritual growth?

Why even after years of meditation and other practices, there is no growth?

Why people are not ‘happy’ inspite of spirituality?

There is no spiritual growth. People only gather so called spiritual words but nothing happens. All that happens is spiritual arrogance. You start feeling spiritually grown but where is the ‘growth’.

The answer is simple. No one can ‘teach’ spirituality.

Intellectual growth is through ‘knowledge’.  You can gain spiritual knowledge by reading or listening.

Emotional growth is through ‘feeling’.  You can gain spiritual feeling by meditation.

And…

Spiritual growth is through ‘realization’.  Spirituality is and can only be realized. It comes from within.

Let it happen, naturally and spontaneously.

Real spirituality is simple because God is simple. God has never asked anyone to pray in a particular way for a particular amount of time or donate a particular amount of money. Religions present around the world were supposed to do two things.

1. Help people in self realization and awaken real spirituality to ‘find’ God.
2. Help world by promoting harmony and human values.

Both stands defeated.

Unfortunately as we see around there is lot of pomp & show in the name of religion, it has become big business. Real spirituality is lost in the religious chaos. People may be doing hours of prayers or meditation, going on pilgrimage, donating big amounts but there is no true realization. There is confusion, chaos and negativity. Millions of articles and discourses of spirituality serving no purpose. Worse they are inflating spiritual ego – a false feeling of being spiritual. No where to go.

Real spirituality is simple as God is simple. Real spirituality means becoming one with God. And for this one has three options.

1. The path of awareness (Gyan) – Rightful awareness through rightful thinking. Think of entire creation as one, this will make action rightful and generate peace, compassion and love for all ultimately leading to state of self realization.

2. The path of action (Karma) – Do rightful action or deeds.Be just to self and others as if all are one. This will make awareness rightful ultimately leading to self realization.

3. The path of surrender (Bhakti or Worship) – Surrender to God, shed your ego. This will make both awareness and action rightful leading to self realization.

One can follow any of the path. In worldly life it may not be possible for one to follow a single path. In this one can do following:

1. In mind follow path of Gyan – Add good knowledge, righteous thinking and become aware.
2. In soul follow path of Bhakti – Surrender to God and let the love of God flow.
3. In world follow the path of Karma – Do all your practical life action, your duties including work, relationships, earning money in rightful manner.

God is right there inside us and every where. All religions, all spirituality revolves around these three paths. The only caution is – Do not get lost in chaos.

The bliss of being is the state of existence, the unhindered unjudged uncompared consciousness of self based on which we feel what we are.

It is the Universal phenomenon. All are in a state of being and this all include so called living and non living beings. Said ‘so called’ the ultimate truth is unknown. Think about a stone – is it living or non living. Stone can be converted into energy and energy is life. So all are in a different state of being, different state of consciousness and therefore have a feeling of different identity. This different identity could be in the form of living/non living, animal/plant, creature/man, man/ woman, child/old, short/tall, beautiful/ugly, idiot/intelligent, successful / failure, english / african, christian / muslim, conservative / progressive, wild / civilized, sober / rogue, sick / healthy, poor / rich and so on the list of division is endless. That’s how all beings get a unique identity, the unique individuality that is I. And see how this I is reflected in all day conversation and thoughts in the form of ‘I am ………’

This ‘I’ is the state of consciousness. It is dynamic, functional and progressive. It has both material and non material component. The material component is referred to as – My Body along with its sensations and functions. The non material component of ‘I’ is referred to as Mind which is expressed as – I Think, I Feel, I Love etc. Other aspects related to ‘I’ like My Money, My House, My Wife, My Job, My World have both material and non material consciousness. For example the material aspect of my money is the amount I can count in my bank account or assess wealth of my property. The non material aspect of ‘I’ is my assessment of this money, what it means to me and the security or satisfaction I get from this money & wealth. Every moment of life is an opportunity to grow in this consciousness. The higher purpose of living is to grow in consciousness to a state of supreme consciousness (also called Nirvana) which is state of absolute oneness, total freedom and no distortion. There one has the choice to remain in dual consciousness or submerge self consciousness into supreme consciousness and thus achieve Moksha. Spirituality is nothing else but better understanding of self & life and realization of truth. This truth, which is always there and is there for everybody can be realized by one of the three ways – Jnana Yoga (Path of becoming aware & understanding), Karma Yoga ( Path of rightful deeds) or Bhakti Yoga (Path of love & devotion). Rest all said ways fall in one of these paths.

How this ‘I’ that is the state of being is created or evolved. Is this the result of uncontrolled destiny or chance Or if all beings are free to evolve their own identity. And why at all this being is there. Are we slaves of life to live even though we may not like to Or we have a choice. Is being a one time affair or we live again and again. Are these states changeable and is there a permanent state of being. Is there a purpose of being Or we are just there. If there is, then what it is? Is the present state real I or there is other I. What is the truth of being and life? What is the truth of pain and pleasure?

Who will answer these questions, who will give the ultimate truth and how do we know that this is the real truth, who will teach whom as there is subjectivity in both teaching and learning. We all have very limited experience and understanding. And this is true with even greatest of saints and wise men. Once a man asked Gautam Buddha what is truth. Buddha’s reply was – It is raining over the mountain. That man could not understand and went away. Later one of Gautam’s pupil asked about the meaning of reply. Buddha said – rain is to be seen or felt similarly truth is to be either seen around what is going on in life or it is to be felt by living experiences but ultimately it is to be realized by the person himself or herself. Self realization is realization of truth.

Bliss of being is understanding and realization of consciousness and being through free expression. This is your own space your own place. A place to share your thoughts, feelings, experiences i.e. share your consciousness of being which only you know and understand. It is the place of uninhibited free expression of self without being judged or compared. It is the place of acceptance, oneness, wholeness where all beings inspite of unique identity and individuality come together, enhance understanding of being by seeing and feeling things and events from different perspective and different point of view. This in turn will result in consciousness of whole without losing personal identity.

Nothing is and can be beyond God. Since every being including you is undifferentiated part of higher consciousness, we all have some basic characteristics. These are:

1. Nitya – The existence is there from ever to ever. You were always present and will be always present.
2. Mukta – By nature you are free. The bondage if felt is only due to wrong identification and attachment.
3. Shuddha – By nature you are pure. Any impurity felt is delusion.
4. Buddha – You have Gyan (complete knowledge) within. You will get answer to all questions from within.
5. Shant – Peace is your nature. It is us who make life chaotic.
6. Sat – You are truth. Where are you searching for truth, when you are truth?
7. Chitt – You have inherent chetna (life). No need to be afraid of death.
8. Anand – Happiness and bliss is your nature. It is there within.

Be Realized!

People are wise to judge investment opportunity – stock market, gold, real estate and what not. We let go no opportunity. We even value ‘opportunity’ of good sex. Another opportunity we look for is to have something for free.

But what about the most important opportunity – the spiritual investment opportunity ! Returns are big and fantastic.

We either take this for granted or do not care at all. What a miss…..

Understand the importance of human life. Realize the importance of spiritual investment opportunity. Do not waste this wonderful opportunity. It is not bad to have pleasures, earn money, eat good food or have good sex. But do not let all this spoil this wonderful spiritual investment opportunity. The real opportunity.

There are different types of spiritual investments. One is to replace impulsive thoughts, feelings and acts of selfish nature with thoughts, feelings and acts of welfare of self and others. Second is to pray and surrender to supreme consciousness and meditate. Doing one’s duty sincerely is another type of spiritual investment. Benevolence is a well known type of spiritual investment.

And the returns are plenty:

– True happiness, calm and peaceful mind
– Positive mindset
– Positive energy system
– A developed and powerful mind
– Stronger innerself
– Safeguard from mental and physical illness
– Immunity from negative energy, negative happenings and negative people
– Higher success, best of self potential, positive ‘luck’ and destiny
– Realization of truth and self
– Oneness or Yog with supreme consciousness or God

If living a normal life, doing all that you normally do and having all the fun of life, you can still achieve all this by making day to day small spiritual investments then why to miss this wonderful opportunity.

Start investing now………

How difficult it has become to find ‘normal’ people. Sensibility is an impossible task. There are ‘material sinners’ or ‘spiritual fools’.

World and life are usually divided into two – material and spiritual. It is said that some are driven towards material world and succumb to Vikrati (disorder) of Kaam Krodh Madh Lobh Moh. And those who are on spiritual path must give up or fight these Vikrati for realization of truth and God. And most ‘bad’ thing according to them is sex.

Stay away from sex. Don’t even look at it, there should be no thought. Sad and strange, people are told to give up sex even in married life or told to stay away from marriage or relationship. Their spiritual realization is so weak and fragile that sex will destroy it. What a shame !!

There are too many spiritual guru and spiritual sect around the world which will show you the way and teach you how to fight and win these Vikrati. This is as if they ‘know all’ and are realized souls. Blind showing path to blinds. These so called guru and sect have failed to do any good in this world. They have even failed in helping disciples becoming better human beings or rise in spiritual journey. All they have done is to have big empire, huge following, even more huge money, big pomp and show. And to prove good they talk big spiritual words and do some charity to prove goodness. End result is also big zero.

Reason is simple. The path shown is wrong. Material sinners to one extreme are attached and surrender to temptations of Kaam Krodh Madh Lobh Moh and spiritual fools are reversely attached to Kaam Krodh Madh Lobh Moh by fighting them hard. In the end both are two sides of same coin. They fail to understand it is not their whimsical impulse that will help them in living a sensible life and true development, it is the Dharma, the path of righteousness which will help them in correcting the Vikrati, the disorder and lead to ultimate truth, the ultimate consciousness.

These guru and sect are intentionally making all this so tough and complicated. They appear ‘God like’ to people. They have numerous stories too in their support. People out of ignorance and fear surrender to them.

In reality none of the Kaam Krodh Madh Lobh Moh is a Vikrati or a disorder. Real Vikrati or disorder is the attachment to them and reverse attachment by trying to fight them out of life.

Path is simple. Just identify your whimsical selfish attachment and use of Kaam Krodh Madh Lobh Moh. Use them sensibly and appropriately according to Dharma for welfare of self and others. This is what Geeta has told to be in moderation. This is the real path shown as Dharm Arth Kaam Moksha.

Honesty is the key. Be honest with yourself, identify your weakness. Gradually attain the state of Dharma using Kaam Krodh Madh Lobh Moh in right proportion, in right manner, at right place and towards right purpose. This will help you in true spiritual development and supreme consciousness. Having sex, eating good food, wearing good clothes, making a good house or enjoying life is not a barrier in spiritual growth. On the contrary they are necessary and helpful.

God has created everything. Look at the beauty of nature. How can God expect you to become dull and boring away from everything? All that God expect is to raise your consciousness from narrow minded selfish I to Dharma. Spiritual foolishness of fighting away everything is as bad as surrendering to material temptations. Be sensible.

This is the essence of life, this is Yog, this is realization. God is right here, God is every where. God does not see you as sinner. God loves you. Of course what you sow so you reap. If you harm others, bad result will follow. That is not punishment but merely a result of deed. God is not cruel. God has given you sensibility to use Kaam Krodh Madh Lobh Moh in right proportion and create a good life and also rise higher in spiritual journey.

This world is a lab. Lab of good and bad, right and wrong. Do not worry about lab. God will take care of it. This lab has given you an opportunity to create balance and harmony. Even if you wish to help mankind, bring a change within yourself. Just commit to path of Dharma. Make God your guru and surrender your whimsical selfish ideas to God. God will guide you what to do, how to do and for what. Your consciousness will grow to supreme consciousness and that will be true Yog true Realization – the Nirvana.

Meditation is not for sainthood but for everyday life

Almost everyone today has heard about meditation. People are practicing meditation for different reasons. Some common reasons for which people meditate are – it is good for mental peace, it helps in spiritual growth, it is a way of worship, it improves concentration etc. But this is not all. Meditation, if understood well, can prove a way to improve the entire quality of life. We must know what meditation is, how it is to be done, what its benefits are and why it should be part of everyone’s life. Before understanding what meditation is, let us see how it can help us.

Benefits of Meditation

What is meditation ?

There is lot of confusion about what is meditation. Confusion is also there because of the fact that there are innumerable ways of meditating. For a beginner it is difficult to decide which method to adopt and this sometimes result in disappointment with the progress. Therefore, to progress well, it is important to understand what meditation is. Before understanding meditation, it is necessary to know what is mind.

Every human being is in a state of consciousness. This consciousness, which we refer to as ‘ I ’,  is dynamic, functional and progressive. It has both material and non material component. The material component is referred to as – My Body along with its sensations and functions. The non material component of ‘I’ is referred to as Mind which is expressed as – I Think, I Feel, I Love, I Understand etc. Some of the functions of Mind are Perception, Awareness, Thinking, Feeling, Memory, Intelligence, Judgment, Creativity, Understanding, Will etc. Mind should not be confused with brain, the organ through which mind carry out its functions. In a broad sense Mind can be divided into three zones.

1. Input – Perception & input of information picked up by senses like vision, hearing, smell, taste and touch. Past memory also serves as source of input.
2. Assimilation – Assessment & assimilation of information by Thinking, Feeling & Understanding. This could be Fact, Incident or Abstract oriented with Intellectual or Emotional predominance. Information and its meaning are saved as Memory which is later used to understand further information. This entire process forms the basis of organization and reorganization of self.
3. Output – Output is the resultant behavior based on input and assimilation and is effected through Judgment & Will

In order to function in good capacity, mind requires development. And this process of development of Mind is called Meditation. Without development, Mind works in a narrow range of awareness with less / faulty input, poor assimilation, distortion of reality and poor output which is unhealthy and negative behavior. Thus the person feels problem with self or the world around and which can range from mild day to day problem to severe mental sickness. Meditation helps to prevent this state and improves functioning of mind. Mind if developed has enormous potential which in most of us remain untapped. You can very well appreciate that with a developed mind how well you can have better awareness & understanding of world around, better relations, better performance & efficiency, better growth in life with happiness, and with such inclination, better spiritual growth. Spirituality is nothing else but better understanding of self & life and realization of truth.

Types of Meditation

Meditation can be done in a number of ways. Most of the methods can be put under multiple types. These can be broadly divided into three types depending on the aspect of mind it is working on. It can be based on :

2. Assimilation & Assessment of Information. For example thought watching, observing inner self.
3. Output like behavior. For example activity meditation, chanting of mantra, yogic posture meditation etc.

Other ways of describing types of meditation can be :

• Intellect Predominant / Emotion Predominant. It can be based on intellectual function of mind or on feelings / emotions.

• Focus / Wholeness Meditation. It can be done by focusing like meditating on an image / object / thought or it can be done towards universality as done in thoughtlessness.
• Past / Present / Future – It can be done by meditating on past, present or future.
• Concrete / Abstract – It can be done by meditating concrete objects / facts of life or by meditating on abstract thoughts or ideas.
• Structure / Non Structured. It can be structured in time, place, way etc or it can be non structured.
• Mind training / Awareness / Spiritual Meditation. Mind training meditation is done to train specific mind faculties like concentration, creativity, learning etc. Awareness meditation is done to become more aware about self, world around, life process etc. Spiritual meditation is done for spiritual growth and realization of self & truth.

How to Meditate

• Chose your way. How to meditate depend on many factors like how it relates to your personality, your lifestyle, your need to meditate, the aspect of mind you wish to develop etc. No method is ‘better’. It all depends on your choice and suitability. But do not change your method too often.
• Start now. Do not wait for time when you will be ‘ready’ for it. Meditation is an ongoing journey. Begin it now and keep progressing.
• Have patience. Do not expect great results immediately. With patience and regular practice you can progress well.
• Enjoy the journey instead of meditating in a monotonous manner.
• Be fully involved in meditation; do not meditate in a mechanical manner.
• Initially structured method may help more, select appropriate time and place, be free from distraction. It is better done on empty stomach but one should not be too hungry to get distracted. Wear comfortable clothing.

Spiritual Consciousness is both a process and journey. To some it not less than miracle. Different people being at different state have different needs and goals. Some of them are:

This is amazing journey of self discovery. There is no pre-requisite. No training or special ability needed. Anyone and everyone can become Self Realized and Self Actualized. As one explores levels of consciousness, one becomes an observer and free from judgment. This is like becoming one with nature and nature’s process of energy and life. One develops better insight and a true vision of self, world and life. This remains person’s unique process and journey. As one goes deep into mysteries of self and life, there sets in harmony. One becomes free from conflicts, stress, wrong convictions and beliefs. The path and goal becomes clear. Life then is no more painful, it becomes joyful. A journey of bliss of being.
