What is our world?
Our universe is born with us. That is why we smile for no reason, giggle, grab, drop.
The construction of our world happens during our upbringing and with each passing day. We are born natural and then unnaturalness is imposed on us. As growing children we are told umpteen number of times not to do like this, not to say like that, do this, do that.
As children, if our view is 180 degrees then our family, friends and surroundings help us to make it 80 degrees. And over a period of time that becomes our rigid world.
How big is our world?
It could be less than the edge of a pin in your mind space.
But it seems like it is everything. There is nothing beyond it. If that is true in your life then know that Maya is having a field day. You are totally enraptured in illusions that make your world. You have succeeded to become a lost case.
Is it possible to go beyond our world?
It is possible to destruct our world. The reason we don’t destroy it is because we become too familiar with it, comfortable with it. We create a make-believe world. We convert our ideas, concepts into reality. We manage to get stuck with our world.
We cringe to change a certain behaviour, a certain mindset. Our minds close to change. It is not easy to open up to the universe once again.
What is this universe beyond our world?
It is everything else that is beyond the edge of a pin in our mind space.
You may wonder why we should go beyond our world. What is there in universe? Why should we explore it? There is enough on this Earth for me. If I get to know that it should be fine.
But.
The real magic happens in the universe. Every little move you make is determined in the universe. The knowledge of universe can bring eternal contentment and peace to your life.
Does being forever in perennial happiness entice you to explore your universe?
How do I get qualified to get to explore the universe?
An open mind can begun the journey of exploring the universe. Your worlds are diverse. But you all could be from the same universe.
It takes effort, time and regular practice (sadhana) to unlearn. And to top it all the crossover is impossible without an iota of grace. That grace source is always an enlightened master.
गुरु बिना गति नाहीं
Without a GURU in life there is no MOVEment.
What can I include in my regular practice or sadhana?
I practice Surya Namaskar or Sun Salutations, Sudarshan Kriya, Padma Sadhana, sanyam (Sahaj samadhi meditation). You can make your list.
There is not much you can do for the grace except keep strengthening your faith. And someday grace will cross your path and you may get enlightened too.
