What is it, that is unique in the sleeping state? No awareness of worldy objects. Immortality leading to bliss can be got only through renunciation of worldly objects and our body-sense. Permanent & absolute happiness can't be procured from any of the objects in the world, source of such happiness is inside -Mandukya Upanishad. If it is not to be found outside it has to be inside. Cessation of all thoughts of the world is the path to go inside (Meditation?).
If there is System, there should be System maker (Srushti?) and someone to
monitor its proper functioning (Sthithi?). (Where is Laya?). Taithireeya2 upanishad :-“It is out of fear of Him that the seasonal winds blow and the sun rises and sets at proper timings. It is out of fear of Him that the Fire God and Indra the king of gods do their respective functions. Even the God of death(Yama) is afraid of Him and rushes to do the work allotted to him.”. This God was conceived to be the bearer of the Key to happiness inside us. Meditating on Him with one pointed concentration inside the heart, would attain the Goal.
“For a knower of Brahman who has identified himself with all the beings as his own self where is the question of any delusion or sorrow any longer?” :- Isavasya Upanishad. Electric station passes same energy to all bulbs, Due to its ressistance a 0Watt(Beggar) relealises lower pottential compared to 1000Watts bulb(King), each has varied sorrows as each has ressistance. It is not the fault of the electricity which pervades each bulb in its full efficiency but it is
due to the difference in the various resistances built in the bulbs which make the bulbs miserly and cause obstruction in the way of the entire power from coming out of the bulb. These obstructions hide the reality of what we are.We fail to realise that none of us is a separate individual but one whole indivisible infinite energy known as consciousness (Chaitanya). We are not separate individuals, absolute realisation that we are one whole integral releases us from all sorrows and sufferings and ensures permanent bliss.
Quest of “Who am I in reality”,one would reach the final goal of self-Relaisation and bliss. This could be achived through various ways reaching the state of ‘nomind’. "I" is not the body, as after death body remains but not "I". "I" is "Atma". "Atman" is energy which saw through the holes of the eyes.... where from this Atman which inhabits the body (bulb) has come ? Atman (in the body of an individual being) is the same is the Supreme Being. The water of the river Ganga in the water bottle brought all the way from Kasi is the same as the water in the entire river Ganga. Even a drop of that water has the same purifying power as the entire river.
Say X has a dream and he is a King with many wifes and enimies, Enimies attacked and killed him. He has created all those charectors. He is all of them ( Like creator and creatures ) but he has hatred on few and love on others. We need to wake up to come to reality - This is consciousness. Sleeping, seeing a dream and coming out of a dream are all involuntary functions and we have no control over them. They are not made to order. Taking same analogy , what can be done to deliberately put an end to the dream state and get up.
One method of cutting off the dream is to withdraw the mind voluntarily from all the objects of the world like wife, wealth, son, business, house, nice delicious dishes etc.by developing a distaste for them all. (vairagya or dispassion.) This should be done till you are convinced that this waking state is not another dream No. 2.
Two is sound from a different plane has the capacity to wake you up from a nightmarish dream. Not with the sounds within the dream. "Mantras" which emanate various types of energies capable of destroying the different bad vasanas (latent bad tendencies from the past), thus leading one to liberation.
Akshara – the indestructible. Mantras have been formed out of these alphabets (fifty plus) and words like Kleem, Hreem, Aim. ‘Kleem’ is “Kama Bija” – the one which can destroy all desires. Hreem’ is called Maya Bija which can eliminate our attachment to wife, sons etc. and other objects of the world. CHanting these repeatedly daily with attention is JAPA. This japa alone will take one to meditation and samadhi state (state of Super Consciousness).
Master gives Mantra to Sishya (Deeksha) and tells the rules to use it. Student with his own effort (sadhana) and Continued prayers , could come wonders.
The more you imagine a high state of spirituality (including going into a samadhi state) the more it becomes a fact. This strong imagination of spirituality attracts the real state. We become what we think.The breath and the thoughts stem from the same place and as such control of breath results in control of thoughts also and vice versa. Using this technique, breath control (Pranayama) is practised in the yoga path.
