खंडर की गूंज

 

  खंडर की गूंज

1  बरसों से वीरान पड़े

   इस खंडर के पत्थरों

   ने भी जिया होगा उस लम्हे  

   को ,जिस में खुशी की  

   लहर थी ,

   किश्ती थी

   और थे कुछ सवार |

2 अधूरी कहानी के

  ये आखिरी किरदार

  त्रस्त हैं, आज

  शोर गुल की

  बेरुखी हलचल से,

  और अनजान कदमों  

  की आहट से,,

 

3 ये सुनसान  

  खंडर मोहताज थे

  कभी हस्ती खेलती

  जिदंगी से,

  जो पल आज भी  

  मोजूद हैं ,इन टूटे

  पथरों की तस्वीर पर,

  जिसे वक्त की

  ने फीका

  कर दिया, अपनी

  रफ्तार से ,

4 देखो जरा कभी

  एकांत के चश्मे, से

  गुमनामी की गवाही  

  देती ये दास्तान,

  जिसने आज भी

  मोजूदगी से

  इन खँड़रों की

  गूंज को जिंदा रखा  

   है |

 5 भटकी, गुजरी आवाजों

   को आज भी तालाश है

   उन कानों की ,   

   कह के जिन्हे

   ये अपनी बरसों की

   बची कसक, लौट

   जायें फिर गूँजते

   मौन के पास |  

11 points for a Spiritual Life

 Spirituality is the inner essence of any religion.Spirituality is that core arround which the entire    strucuture of religious ideas,philosophy,values take shapes in various ways.So without spiritual content a religion is merly an empty bowl. 

But with time the core becomes invisible and less important due to thrust on outer apperance.Then one day its core is gone ,thin walls changes into hard concrete with mulitple layers .This shallow and hallow system is slowly categorised into complex web of unending realities. With time spirituality is gone

But its not entirely lost.The fire of spirituality is saved by many masters,prophets and yogis from going extinct.They worked silently in choosen circle of few. For them spirituality was not a mass affair.

So what is a spiritual life ?

A spiritual life is a understanding that we all are part of same source destined for same journey towards the divine.Therefore all are equal in spiritual sense too.We are not merly bodies of flesh and bones, we are pure blissful consciousness.The ocean of happiness is inside us.Our true nature is conceiled by various identities assigned to us since birth.There is a witness inside us waiting for,to be revealed.When after a deep relaxing sleep, we wake up and say," Wow, what a wonderful sleep!". Actually who enjoyed and remembered that sleep, it was the witness not us. 

How can we live a spiritual life ?

I will give answer in following points to make it less complicated.

1. Do mediation,because untill the chattering of mind does't stop we can't go deep inside to have                 this realisation of real self.

2.  Cut yours ego and belive me it is the most difficult task. It is the " I " which is the root couse of our         many unending problems.

3.   Live a humble and grounded life with empathy,compassion,sincerity,gratutude

4.  Try to help and serve others without any selfish motives.

5.  Yes occasional solitude is required but don't cut yourself from the world outside because the world         is a testing ground  to measure our spiritual progress (If you meditiated 13 years in cave for 13 years      against whom will you judge your progress, ) not against walls of cave ,but in the world and its              people. 

6. Try to live a moderate life. Moderation in eating,sleeping, actions. 

7.  Avoid intoxicants becouse we are searching for our real self and loosing sense of self under toxic             influenes can make thing's dizzy and dangerous. 

8.Read the spiritual texts but don't overlook the practicle part.Knowledge is a way to understand ,not         the destination.

9.Believe me the master will come when the disciple is ready.

10.If your are looking for spiritual truth of life, just believe me  that grace is already there.Why among          so many people only you are looking for spiritual part of life, others won't, its because of grace. 

11.First the Hallahal poison will came outside, then the nector. The dark night of soul will come too,            you will fall mutiple times but with faith and patience you will cross them .

 

 

 

एकांत की दस्तक

  एकांत की दस्तक  

 वक़्त की इस दौड़ मे कहीं तो 

कुछ रुका हुआ है ,

जो सामने होते हुए 

भी नजरों से बचा हुआ है ,

पल की गहराई मे जो है  

 ओझल परतों के साये में , 

 तारों सा फासला कहीं तो।,

फिर भी मौजूद, हमारे हमसाये मे,

भागदौड़ की बेचैनी में 

सुकून का आखिरी शहर है वो। 

 मन की सीमाओं से परे 

एकांत का अंतिम पहर है वो ,

जिंदगी की धुप में वो 

छाँव है गुलजार की ,

घोर अँधेरी रात में  तड़प 

जैसे चाँद के इन्तजार की,

रेगिस्तान की तपती रेत में 

बारिश की पहली रात है वो ,

बसंत के यौवन में मदहोश 

फूलों की आपसी बात है वो ,

Who is Mahaavtar Baba ji

 Before Yogananda Paramhans coined the term " Mahaavtar Baba ji " for this eternal being,Who was his Guru's guru, nobody amongs the worldy people have ever heard this name.Yes this great being was known  to great sages, masters, seers, yogis and prophets of different religions throughout the history and civilisational ages.This timeless being is silently guiding the spiritual evolution of humanity through various ways and means.He is in-charge of this " Manuvantra" for elevating the human consciousness to its divine and original nature.

Among the Nath yogis, he was known as " Nityanath" the nath who was always there and Sri Guru.

He was also known as Baba Balak Nath, because of his youthful appearance, to Nath jogis.

Acc. to  Sri M, who has been  the disicple of this great being in many of his previous births this being is great Yoginath Shiv Mahadev himself.You can refer to chapter 49 in autobiography of Sri M ( Apprentice to a Himalayan Master).

You can also refer to 2nd part of Sri M autobiography( the journey continues) where more details is mentioned.

Yogiraj Gurunath Siddhanath has also Written a book ( Babaji The Lightning Standing Still ) on this great being.

In Sripadvallabh Charitmurtan,  by Shankar Bhatt his name is also mentioned there in chapter 3.

This timeless being has many forms as our imagination can reach. We can't even think and imagine who is this being.To become worthy of his grace we have to take millions of births again and again on this earth and in many other spheres ,dimensions.He is more than divinity.He is the master of masters.He is time itself. He is the shunya, the great void.

For mortals like us it is totally futile to write about this great timeless being.But i try to provide some basic or little information in my capacity as a spiritual seeker. 

Hope amidst uncertainity

Today we are living in a uncertain world. All our inherent beliefs and values are at crossroad with each other. The challenges have increased manifolds both internally and externally. Humanity core is shaking under tremendous pressure from the system. The basic moral values are loosing its shine and clamour. Everywhere humans are struggling for their fundamental needs. The collapse of existing system is in process. There may be comes a time when we will have to choose between hope and pessimism.

Dear friends, I believe we must always choose hope under any circumstances. becouse the trend of civilisation is always going to upward. We are the living proof of this trend. Throughout history mankind faced enormous challenges of wars, famines, epidemics. But time does stopped with all these calamities. Humans evolved and made new discoveries, inventions for the betterment of life. The time b/w 1900 to 1945 was one of the deadliest phase of human history. But most scientific inventions are also made during this time.

Yes now situation is different but that is not going to stop human and civilisational progress albeit some occasional and temporary disturbances will always occur. Always remember that this shall pass too. 

Human spirit is gifted with hope and hope is a powerful thing. A little hope has the capacity to do wonders with its infinite possibilities of human courage. When there are clouds of darkness all over, fear is making inroads into deepest corners of our conciousness then only hope can bring light by dispelling  the inherent and latent fears of our subconscious. 

Without hope nothing can be achieved. It is the hope which has given strength to all great people on this earth when they faced the limits of tyranny, pessimism, and nature wrath. It is said that without facing the darkness how would we know what light is. For evolving spiritually and to break the mould of this false image of ourself which we have created in canvass of our imagination , hope is the only solution.

So prepare yourself with the gift of hope becouse circumstances will not always remain favourable to us. The road ahead has sharp turns, bumpy structure and deep patholes. A sudden wrong turn can also make things out of hand. Hope could have also stored the honey for rainy days. Deep down our conciousness has many unexplored gifts and hope is one of them albeit a powerful one.

शायरी की बात 

1 

जो बलवान था खुद की भुजाओं से 

वह भी  डूब गया इक दिन जीवन की सचाई मे |

2 

वो जो शहंशाह थे अपने जमीर के 

की बिक गये एक  दिन ईमान के बाजार मे। 

3 

जंजीरों की जकड़न सा ,

ये समय का फितूर है कुछ ऐसा ,

की आजादी की ख्वाइश मे 

अब दस्तूर नहीं है वैसा | 

4 

उम्र का तकीजा देख ग़ालिब ,

जवानी की कसरतें 

बुढ़ापे की हसरतें 

ना मंजूर हैं ,एक दूसरे को |

 

The silence of sky

1

 Those who never lost themselves in vastness of silence

Actually stopped this ever becomming stillness of self,

The beauty with its unending solitude of life

And inner reality with its multiple dimensions

2

Be alert while breathing, oh man

Only then mind is free of heaviness

 

3

Be the openness of ocean

With its all glory

So that heart can be heard

While wind blowing over

4

The caravan always moves away, Oh seeker

Some are lost, others dead ,  Only who

Find himself, get the treasure.

Proclaimed the last traveller

 

5

Nothing will remain in the end, oh man

Unless truth shall free you,

For that burn yourself in fire of self

And see only something out of nothing

Naked truth

In today fast paced world , everyone is stuffed with the load of everything. The mental breakdown  of people with far reaching consequenses is showing its impact. The truth of life is becomming very uncomfortable for some to digest the untruth. New inventions, discoveries, technologies are making things easier too but with its own cost. Happiness has become a commodity , honesty is being punished, sincerity is avoided, truth is the ultimate casulity.

In this chaoitc world, loudiness is prevailing over the silence. Peace is illusive, war is pervasive. Socities are degenrating , morality is loosing its crown to greediness. The empire of Evil  is expanding into greater depths of human mind.

Sincere souls are being tormented by the devil forces. Money is the new god. The Few are eating more than  they could digest. The majority is just living at the brink of catastrophe.

Our minds have been turned into the passive consumerism of corporate-industry nexus. More and more unnecessary feed is being fed to our brains. The culture of hysteria will slowly take greater role in our socitiel intractions. 

The simpicity and minimum living style which once our forefathers have advocated is the new need of present world.

  

Spiritual truth has its opposite too

 yes Its true, spiritual life is all about to move upward.  But Its not always true that once we get into spirituality the highway is neat and clean with mutliple refreshments along the roads. Many people think that spritual life is a holiday resort in a beautiful moutain valley. 

Sometimes the truth is veiled in our deepest fears. Spritiual life has its own traps and fears. The road can be dangeours and deadly if attention is not given. All our pre conceived notion can also create obstacles and hardships. The energy can wreck havoc if not properly handles. Our mental system needs proper warmups and excercises to commune with the  changes. So it is better to move cosciously and carefully in this unknown territory.

Some points to taken care off

1. Be practical and sometimes rational too

2. Don't pracitce everything that you read 

3. Practice one or two things

4. Don't complicate things by illusory mental make ups

5. Simplicity is best 

6. Don't isolate yourself too much from the world

7. The World with its people is your testing place

8. Ocassional solitude is required 

9. You will fall multiple times and but be the sphinx.

10. Have faith and move 

So these are the points you should remember.
