Surrender - Part 24

ALIGNING SURRENDER LEARNING WITH THE ATTRACTION TO ATMA NIVEDANAM  FLOW

Divyatman,

After going through the path/flow starting from Attraction and reaching up to Atma Nivedanam, let us try and summarize the flow of various paths/types learnt in Surrender and see how they align with the final path of Attraction to Atma Nivedanam flow.

Starting from Attraction up to Adoration, you are more at physical  level as far as your devotion is concerned (BODY).

Once you have started your spiritual sadhana and mind control and reach single minded devotion, it is at mental level (MIND).

Devotion transforming to Love, Love for God further evolving to existence as Love and Radiating love in and for the creation is surrendering all senses or rather consumption of all senses in the ocean of love (SENSES).

Your soul has surrendered or rather merged in the supreme, universal soul/consciousness (SOUL).

To be continued...

Love.

Rajneesh

Surrender - Part 23

Dear All,

After having gone through the various stages in the path of devotion, culminating in Sayujya Samadhi where one exists in and as Pure Love, Pure Bliss, let us glide through the sequence of spiritual sadhana in the path of Jnana/Self Inquiry and see at which stage, it culminates in Samadhi, 

Let the flow in the path of Jnana bring in the required curiosity in you and may you start thinking on :-
What is Atman, what is Brahman?

What is Pure Consciousness, corresponding to the upsurge of Love experienced in Devotion?

What is experienced in Jnana, what is the subjective experience? 

In Devotion, we had a form, a prop to focus all our mind and also, we had Lord’s stories, Lord’s darshan, sprashan and sambhashan to fill our  heart with Love.But in Jnana, with no form, nothing to focus upon, how can the mind be focused, on what can the mind be focused, and what and how God without form, is experienced within the heart??

If your questions are sincere, if Swami observing your questions wills, then time may come when all these questions are addressed in this very blog, later.

Love.
