THE JOURNEY OF SELF REALIZATION
By Murali Sreenivasan , SKYBayarea
There are three
impurities that characterize the human mind and make it fractional in
consciousness: Ego, Sin Imprints and Illusion.
Ego when left
unchecked transforms into 6 harmful characters that plague us in our
day-to-day lives: Greed, Anger, Miserliness, Immoral Sexual Desire,
Vanity and Vengeance. These characters lead us to commit wrong doings,
which result in physical or mental pain to self or others. These acts
cloud our own consciousness with mental waves (aka sin imprints) that
destroy the purity of our awareness. In this severely limited state of
awareness we spend our lives in misery and pain without realizing the
beauty and greatness of our existence.
Self Realization is a state of awareness that is uncontaminated and reflects a pure state of clarity in thought, word and deed.
The SKY system
provides a holistic solution to realize this state. The three major
milestones to a spiritual journey are faith, understanding and
realization. Humans as a generation have evolved beyond faith and are
currently in a state of mind that seeks understanding to satisfy their
scientifically evolved mind. This appetite can only be satisfied by
uncontaminated truth that is spoken in a scientific language in
accordance with the relevancy of our time.
In this respect the SKY system has a concise and scientific explanation of key truths such as Energy, Mind and the Non-dual divinity
that is we. These truths when understood give us a sense of
satisfaction and peace that is ecstatic in nature and also serve as an
unerring guiding principle that helps us enjoy this great life.
But the emotional
mind and a weak body can’t understand these truths as it is constantly
losing energy due to its physical or mental dis-ease. To overcome this
malady the body and mind should be strengthened using a systematic
practice of physical exercises and meditation. Shri Vethathiri Maharishi’s Simplified Physical Exercise trains one’s body to be healthy and regulates energy flow. His Kayakalpa Yoga helps one strengthen the life energy and achieve an intensified energy level of body and mind. His Simplified Kundalini Meditation
helps one to train the mind in a lower frequency so as to achieve a
consistent state of higher awareness. This state of awareness
characterizes what is commonly called as will power. This position of
strength enables one to think out of the box and be creative (create new
better habits). It also gives one the ability to change ways and
transform one’s character or personality. This transformation is more effectively guided by the Introspection
Techniques that directly relate to the 6 harmful characters. At the end
of this transformation one achieves complete freedom from the aforesaid
6 harmful characters.
The mind of a person
that has achieved such a state is very light and pure. It does not have
emotions that agitate the mind and sap the mental energy. In this state
the mental frequency is low and the mental wave’s length is near
infinite. As a result the boundary of the mind has increased. It can
imagine / expand to the breadth of the universe and beyond, stay there,
think from such a broad state and understand the secrets of this
universe and eternity as intuition (inner tuition / self taught).
Such a person is also characterized by high energy levels experienced as ecstasy, for it has tapped into the universal energy. Such
high energy levels would immediately be spent by an emotional mind in
materialistic pleasures. But for a mind that has understanding of the
truth it will be guided in the path of service characterized by Love and
Compassion, which happens to be the way of God. This is true worship
and a spiritual way of life that is in spirit with nature. As the mind
starts flowing in the same path as its original (primordial) state, it
starts remembering what it really is. It realizes itself to be the same
non-dual state that permeates everything as consciousness and manifest
as all the happenings in the universe. This process can be described as
totality becoming fractional and then realizing its totality thereby
appreciating its own greatness.
This realization of the divine state of play is Self Realization and is what can be achieved with the help of SKY practices.
