Behind the changing world of forms there is one eternal reality – one consciousness, source, sustainer, and essence of all that exists.
Becoming the Embodiment of God
We perceive the world through the lens of our own outlook. It is this limited vision that makes us see differences, divisions, and disparities in creation.
The Causes of Suffering
Suffering does not come from the world itself, but from the way our mind perceives it and identifies with it. There are five root causes of suffering called the kleshas. In essence, a klesha is anything within the mind that obscures awareness of our true nature and keeps us bound in cycles of suffering
Supreme Knowledge
Knowledge is acquired in two ways: through understanding and through experience. Understanding operates within the intellect and is therefore limited.
There Are No ‘Others’
When we live in the experience of separateness, of individuality and division, we dwell in misperception.
Moving in the Sky of Pure Awareness
God, the Atman, becomes the stage, the actor, and the costumes. He enacts His dramas within Himself, for His own sake and delight. Assuming physical forms, He appears as separate entities, manifesting His cosmic play through the senses by the power of His own dynamic Shakti.
The Secret of the Blue Bindu
God, the eternal nourisher of the universe, resides within us, in a house as small as a sesame seed—the Blue Bindu. This divine point, though only the size of a pearl, exists within our Sahasrara
The Ultimate Spiritual Experience: Turiyatita
There comes a point in our journey of inner exploration where all distinctions fade, where the mind, the senses, and the sense of personal self dissolve into something beyond comprehension. This is Turīyātīta.
Alignment with God’s Will
When we do not know God directly, we fail to understand His will. In the absence of this understanding, our lives become governed by our egoic, selfish tendencies.
The Unification of Desires in God
The mind’s activity, its thoughts and feelings, obscures the Self. We lose sight of our universal nature, the inner Source from which the mind arises. In forgetting our Self, our mind grasps at endless desires in hopes of obtaining lasting bliss.
