Spirituality Q/A
Your deepest spiritual questions answered by HH Guruji Sundar
What is Enlightenment?
When ‘I’ becomes totally erased and only
the ‘Quality’ of the pure essence of I
remains, that state is called
‘Enlightenment of the Aathman’.
Contrary to the common belief,
Enlightenment is not a state of thoughtlessness
It is not some achievement.
IT IS YOU! It is getting rooted into your
REAL SELF!! If you are in your inner space with total
awareness, it is ‘Enlightenment’.
Every living being is qualified to get enlightened. It is their BIRTH RIGHT!
When you are with an ‘Enlightened Being’, you are with GOD and GOD only!
Enlightenment is not the final step. It’s only a beginning of new life with awareness about the eternal ‘I’!!
When you come to know and feel that
YOU are a separate entity living in the
body, then you
have taken the first step to Self Realization.
If a person totally surrenders himself at
the feet of GURU, Guru can give him
MOKSHA (liberation)
The seeker who has tasted the divine
nectar of ‘I’ has entered into the ‘WORLD
OF IMMORTALITY’!
What is meditation?
Why should I meditate?
What are its benefits?
Why is it so important?
Meditation is a passage through which you arrive at yourself. It is just a method to understand your mind and yourself.
Meditation is neither a theory nor a belief. It is the way of life. When your meditation starts flowering, you will know that it is LIFE ITSELF!
Meditation is nothing but silent reforming
and purification of the MIND.
Mind is a Pandora’s box when we go deep
down in meditation.
Understanding of the MIND can happen
only in AWARENESS. Awareness is the
quality which arises out of MEDITATION.
Every human being is qualified to meditate
and enjoy the ELIXIR called ‘LIFE’.
When you become ripe in meditation, you
will know that you are born to meditate
and thereby know your ‘TRUE SELF’
Meditation is chiselling you to become a
beautiful statue. It removes all the non-essentials. and only the essentials remain.
The non-essentials are nothing but the
needless things which gather in the MIND.
What is the purpose of life?
The very purpose of human birth is to
find one’s real value, which is completely
hidden by MAYA.
By constant meditation
and seeking the blessings of sages and
saints in Jeeva samadhis and completely
removing all the negative imprints on the
Mind, one can achieve his/her goal.
What is the Truth?
Truth can’t be said. But it can be
indicated. It is not reserved for the chosen
ones. All of us deserve it!
Truth is not very far. It is just inside you!
In fact, it is not inside you. IT is YOU!!
To seek the Truth, one must find a GURU, who must have tasted the truth, digested the truth and have become the TRUTH!
What happens after death? Do we really die?
Death is one of the greatest illusions that mankind has developed over the years! No one dies in the process of death. Only the soul comes out of its home to find a new
home to fulfil all its unfulfilled desires.
Once a person comes to know the TRUTH, he will never DIE. In other words, he comes to know that ‘DEATH IS THE ULTIMATE LIE.’
Is Time a lie?
The so-called TIME was created only for
the utility of humankind. But in the real
sense, there is no such thing called as
TIME. The only thing which is real is the
‘Ever Pervading Consciousness’.
It merely exists because of the constant running of our mind and our involvement in the five senses.
When the mind ceases to exist, then you won't feel any 'time-consciousness.'
What is the Mind?
Mind is the Bridge between the body and the soul.
It is the best friend and the worst enemy we can ever have. We can never win the battle against it but sincere Tapas burns all the negative imprints of the mind
and makes it “PURE”.
What is the Soul?
Soul is the SEED of GOD, which we carry from our birth. It is always pure.
There is no difference between human souls and the souls of other living beings. All are same only.
Soul is the Master; Mind is the Worker; Body is the Instrument. In a finer sense, 'There is only one SOUL; only the containers are different.'
