WHAT IS LOVE SICKNESS ?NO SICKNESS AS LOVE SICKNESS

WHAT IS LOVE SICKNESS ?NO SICKNESS AS LOVE SICKNESS..........
Lovesickness is the feeling of helplessness and hopelessness that we associate with a failed exper...ience in love.
Almost all of us may have experienced it in various forms over the years.But for some people, it’s extremely hard to bounce back from lovesickness.
They carry the thoughts of a person in their mind for several years, and at times, even several decades.
.It's a chemical and physiological response that can actually impact your health and wellness.
signs of lovesickness --
1Mood swings. You almost always feel depressed or hopeless, and believe you have no reason to live if you can’t have this person’s affection.

2 Isolation. You love isolating yourself from the rest of the world. Nothing interests you anymore, and all of a sudden, you start to feel like none of your friends understand you or what you’re going through.
3 You’re tired all the time. The mental stress you endure constantly tires you easily, and you don’t have energy to do anything you want to do.
4 Appetite. Even looking at food makes you queasy. You suffer from loss of appetite and weight loss.
5 Distractions. You’re always distracted, and nothing you do ever feels like it’s to the best of your abilities.
You overanalyze. You spend several hours analyzing the things this person says or the particular words they use, and try to see things from different perspectives even if it’s something as trivial as a wave or a hello.
6 Tearful. You feel like crying for no reason at all. You feel depressed for the smallest of things and you’re oversensitive about everything in your life.
7 Insomnia. You have difficulty sleeping. Every time you lie down, your mind is filled with thoughts of your crush or your ex. You spend several hours tossing and turning in bed even if you try hard to just fall asleep
ways to stop feeling lovesick and move on with your life
1 Ask them out. Wear your heart on your sleeve and ask this person out. What’s the worst that could happen? They could decline you. It’s okay to fail at something. What’s worse is not trying!
2- Give yourself a reality check . Try to remember it all the time, be it their facial expressions, their low IQ, or their lack of etiquette. And compare them mentally to other good looking people you see on the street.Realize their selfish nature .when you stop messaging them and try to get out of your depression ,they send you message or mail to gain attention and when you reply them they avoid you and make you feel worthless . Once you realize that this person isn’t as awesome as you once thought they were, you’d be able to take them off the pedestal you’ve built for them.
3 Keep your mind occupied. What do you enjoy doing in your free time? Is it shopping? Is it playing games? Indulge in something that excites you and makes you feel good about yourself
4 Rationalize, but don’t obsess. It’s okay to think of this person now and then. Shutting them off completely may make the addiction worse. But each time you spend a few minutes thinking of this person, avoid drifting away into fantasyland. Reminisce, rationalize and move on within a few minutes.
LAST BUT NOT THE LEAST MEDITATE ,LOVE YOURSELF AND TRY TO REALIZE THE PRIORITIES OF YOUR LIFE .LIFE IS GIFT OF GOD TO US AND IT SHOULD NOT BE WASTED OR FINISHED JUST BECAUSE SOME ONE MADE YOU FEEL WORTHLESS .LEAVE YOUR PAST AND LOVE YOUR LIFE

CROSSING THE BOUNDRAIES OF MAYA
A seeker or the traveler of the path of TRUTH has to pass through many tests . As he grows ,expands and dissolves he has to cross many encirclements . Before crossing these encirclements he is put to different kinds of tests .If the sadhaka passes the test then he is allowed to move ahead in next dimension of growth other wise he has to stay there for longer time until he realizes the worthlessness of the lust or emotion which held him back ....As the sadhaka climbs higher and higher on the stairs of heaven the risk of falling down in patala loka increases .He can reach heaven only when he is very aware of his fears and weaknesses which can pull him down .A real sadhaka is very strong within and is deeply connected to its GURU . He never forgets his guru and the real goal of his life . However tough exams are taken he attempts all with full dedication and keeps holding hands of his guru . When the fog of illusion and lust tries to shake him ,he becomes very aware and awakened and calls his guru for help .Within minutes all fog disappears and he is transported to next dimension of LIGHT . The thread between the disciple and guru is very thin and delicate .The disciple is at lower end where as the guru sits on the higher end of that thread . The disciple eyes are full of tears of love and gratitude and the face of the guru radiates with light . The disciple chooses to dissolve in guru's heart all the times when the demons of lust try to deviate him from his path . His this love ,dedication and surrendering creates magical lights around him .He is respected by the dwellers of other dimensions of seven sky. After rising high to certain level of illumination he clearly understand the play of Maya and never interrupts in its play . Never think that walking of the path of light is an easy task and any absconder or so called sadhu can cross and dissolve in light only a true disciple crosses all boundaries and becomes one with vastness

Maya - SHOULD I AVOID OR ABUSE BACK TO PEOPLE WHO ABUSE ME AND HARASS ME ?

Ma Anita -Dear maya kindly read this post of osho as my answer .
OSHO -Try to understand this. You will not be able to know many things about yourself if you do not meet people. If you do not meet anyone who abuses you, then how can you know whether there is anger in you or not? If nobody insults you, then you will think that you are without anger. You will know the anger within you only when someone abuses you. So in a way, the person who abused you has helped you to understand yourself; he has helped you to realize that there is anger within you which was kept suppressed. That dark corner came into light by his abuse.
But the sannyasin who runs away to the jungle does not get these opportunities of understanding his inner characteristics because he is alone there - because there there is no one to abuse him, no one to give him respect, no one to entice him with money. No one gives him any opportunity - he is alone there. Self-observation becomes difficult.
This world is the place where you can observe and understand yourself. Otherwise God would have made innumerable jungles and would have kept one person in one jungle. But you will have to admit that the divine is more intelligent than you. Listen to him and be careful of these so-called saints who are pretending to be more intelligent than even God. They are trying to be very clever. They say that they will do sadhana, spiritual practice, in the jungle.
But sadhana cannot be done in the jungle, it has to be in this world. You will only vegetate in a jungle. But here in this world, thorns will prick you the moment you walk on them. When you walk on these thorns and they are not able to prick you, that means that now you have become capable of going to the jungle - now if you want to, you can go. Then I will not stop you. But then you yourself will say that there is no need to go to the jungle; for me there is a jungle in the midst of this very crowd. Wisdom will be born when you become mature.
How is wisdom born? it is born out of conflict, it is born by accepting the challenges of life - by getting defeated, by falling down and by rising again.
When you are abused a thousand times and you get angry a thousand times, a moment comes when you will not become angry on being abused. The experience of a thousand times will make you understand that there is no point in burning with anger - somebody else is abusing, so why should I punish myself for that? Then surely one day you will not react when somebody abuses you, you will not get angry. That very day the thorn in you will become a flower and you will be a changed person. The peace which you will experience that day cannot be given to you by any jungle.
The peace of a jungle is a dead peace. If you become peaceful amidst these abuses, then your peace is real peace. The peace of a jungle is like the peace of a graveyard: the place is quiet and deserted, there is no one. It is negative. If you become peaceful in this world, then it is positive. The peace of the jungle is like death, and the peace of the world is very lively.
I am telling you that if you want to attain the divine, then do not run away. There can be no relationship of the divine with cowards or with escapists. The only path is the path of courage. There is a possibility of falling down in courage. There is no other alternative.
Have you ever noticed that the children of rich families are not very sharp or very intelligent? They cannot be, because there is no challenge for them. The intelligent children always belong to the families where they have to struggle to attain even small things. The children of millionaires are usually mediocre.

How to Control Thoughts During Meditation by Osho in Hindi

osho -atma se kaise baat kare

kya kamvasna kabhi khatam ho sakti hain

punrjanam kya hain ?

ध्यान क्या है? - Dhyan Kya Hai?

ध्यान क्या है? - Dhyan Kya Hai?

 जिन-सूत्र – Jin Sutra, Vol.3

महावीर ने तो कहा कि मूल धर्म है--ध्यान। जिसने ध्यान साध लिया, सब साध लिया। तो हम समझें, यह ध्यान क्या है? पहली बात, अंतर्यात्रा है। दृष्टि को भीतर ले जाना है। बाहर भागती ऊर्जा को घर बुलाना है। जैसे सांझ पक्षी लौट आता है, नीड़ पर, ऐसे अपने नीड़ में वापस, वापस आ जाने का प्रयोग है ध्यान। जब सुविधा मिले, तब समेट लेना अपनी सारी ऊर्जा को संसार से--घड़ी भर को सही--सुबह, रात, जब सुविधा मिल जाए तब बंद कर लेना अपने को। थोड़ी देर को भूल जाना संसार को। समझ ना कि नहीं है। समझना कि स्वप्नवत है। अपने को अलग कर लेना। अपने को ता़ेड़ लेना बाहर से। और अपने भीतर देखने की चेष्टा करना--कौन हूं मैं? मैं कौन हूं? ओशो

सहज होने का अर्थ क्या है ?

 प्रश्न - सहज होने का अर्थ क्या है ?
उत्तर - जो सारी अवधारणा मुक्त है वही सहज है। सहज होने का अर्थ यह नहीं की जो आपके मन में आये आप वही करने लगे। अपने भीतर की कुन्ठा या फ़्रस्टेशन को निकालने को सहज होना नहीं कहते। बल्कि जब गहरे ध्यान बाद आप निर्मल अवस्था में आते है उसे सहज होना कहते है। सहज होने के नाम पर कई लोग जोर जोर से बोलतें है , दुसरो को नीचे दिखा कर खुद की स्वभंजन करते है ,उटपटांग हरकतें करते है और इसी को सहज होना समझते है । अगर किसी चोर से कहो की चोरी मत करो तो वह भी कहेगा की मैं तो सहज हु। सहजता अपने हिसाब से नहीं होती .जो आपके लिए सहज है वह दूसरे लिए सहज नहीं होगी तो वह सच्ची सहजता नहीं है। एक आदमी शराब पी कर रोज़ अपनी बीवी बच्चों को मारता था उन्हें गालियाँ देता था और कहता था की मैं तो सहज हुँ। एकदिन उस की बीवी और बच्चों ने मिलकर उस की पिटाई कर दी और कहा हम तो सहज हैं। लोग अपने मन मुताबिक सद्गुरुओं की बातों का अर्थ निकाल लेते है। यह अर्थ नहीं अनर्थ होता है. सहज होने का अर्थ निर्मल होना हैं ,प्रेमपूर्ण होना हैं। हर अवधारणा से मुक्त होना है। जो व्यक्ति स्वं में स्थापित है और जीवन को सहज स्वीकार करे वही सहज है।
सहज गौतम बुद्ध थे ,महावीर थे ,मीरा थी ,ओशो थे ,रमन महर्षि थे। खुद को जाचना हो तो इनको देखो और गुरु के समक्ष खड़े होकर ह्रदय पर हाथ रख कर पूछो स्वं से " क्या मैं सहज हुँ ? या मैं सहज होने का नाटक कर रहा हुँ ? अगर सच्चे हो तो तुम्हारी अंतरात्मा तुम्हें उत्तर देगी। हरिओम _()_

WHAT COMES AFTER ENLIGHTENMENT BY By Dr. Tan Kheng Khoo

What happens at the time of enlightenment?

 

The descriptions here are all from recent enlightened advaitists.

The person cannot hasten the process. When it is going to happen, it will happen. No amount of spiritual practice, sadhana, can bring on enlightenment. Other people are unable to see the transformation in the enlightened (jnani). Some times, the jnani himself realises it only days or months after the event!

 

What transpires at this event varies from person to person. Ramana Marhashi and Eckhart Tolle both had great fear at the time of enlightenment. With Ramana it is fear of death. Ramana lies down as if his body is dead, but his Consciousness is still aware of a current of energy playing on his rigid body. The fear dropped off, and from then onwards he is ‘perpetually absorbed’ in that current of energy in his daily chores. In Eckhart Tolle’s case, he felt reborn. His deep depression (with suicidal tendencies) was replaced by bliss and peace. He remained in this state of peace and bliss for the next 5 months. Tony Parsons was just walking in the park, when it happened. The stillness and presence descended upon him as the timeless eradicated ‘him’, the experiencer. From thence onwards ‘he’ did not exist. R. Balshekar was translating a talk for Maharaj, when he suddenly became almost like an automaton: the translation was being done for him and his voice became louder and clearer. Most of these people have various grades of bliss, rapture and peace. All of them finally either got used to these states or they wear off. Some of them cry out with joy. Some of them realise that they have finally returned to their original Self. Some behave as if they are insane. There is no uniform formula.

 

Enlightenment is an impersonal understanding that there is no 'one' being enlightened. It is an understanding that there is no comprehender; there is no longer a separate entity or a doer. It is a surrender to the fact that there is nobody surrendering to anything. It is a vertical impersonal experience. It now becomes an awareness witnessing the functions of the psychophysical complex. The witnessing is like a mirror with no separate entity mirroring the events or actions of the individual. He still functions in duality for the rest of his life, but he does not experience dualism anymore. Duality is a condition of the phenomenal world in which the opposites are mandatory, but dualism is the delusion that one is separate. There is only Consciousness acting through everything in all the universes. Nothing is separate and there isn't an 'I' or 'me'.

 

 

                     Suffering of the corporate body.

 

 

Physically there is no change. In time to come he may age more slowly, because there are now no more worries, anxieties or problems of a personal nature. The Absolute functions through his psychophysical complex, whether the individual realises it or not. This is true also with the unenlightened. Physically the body suffers and feels the pain and joy, but there is no one suffering the pain. The pain is there, but there is no suffer. The psychophysical complex may even groan or scream with pain, but there is no 'person' suffering. The pain and the screams are merely witnessed by the impersonal Consciousness.

 

                                                    Emotions

As the psychophysical organism is free of a personal entity, there is no involvement in others and their problems. Similarly there is no mental projection of enjoyment in good company or listening to music or eating good food as before. The pure awareness merely witnesses the situation as it arises, and there is no involvement in that situation. Love and wisdom prevail in those with these qualities prior to enlightenment. If the individual was an angry one, after enlightenment anger still prevails as a reaction when irritated, but no one is angry.

The Mind and Intellect 

Mentally and intellectually, the individual may be just as intelligent as before, but his aim in life may change. From a menial worker, he may be transformed into a teacher of spiritual growth. The individual, who was never interested in writing, suddenly becomes a consummate writer. Public speaking becomes second nature to a former shy and fumbling talker. In the religious line, they are converted into tireless workers in their respective religions with insurmountable energy. Some may resign from very onerous jobs to go into seclusion. Some may suddenly start to heal. With the grace of enlightenment, most of them accept and surrender to the Tao or G-plan.

 

Enlightenment means not identifying one’s psychophysical organism as a separate doer, but its impersonal Consciousness must still continue to identify the organism as an individual for the rest of his life. Otherwise he cannot function. He must answer to his name and know where he is living and who are his friends and relatives. He is now merely acting as a psychic operating-centre to activate his thoughts, voice and body movements. The Absolute is the functioning centre of his pure Consciousness. This is what Ramana Maharshi meant when he said that there is a centre of energy working on his body. Another good example is when a man gets an out-of-body experience while performing a complicating task, like a surgical operation. Although his spirit is not in his body, he is able to perform the surgical operation impeccably. The spirit outside his body is the functional centre and his shell of a body is the operating centre. The enlightened man (jnani) is truly in this world and not of this world.

 

The Ego and Mind

 

In the unenlightened, the ego is composed of the body, emotions and a mind, which can be notionally divided into the working mind and the thinking mind. In the enlightened, the ego is devoid of the thinking mind. This thinking mind is the conceptualising component, which is always separating the ‘me’ from the others. It draws on memories to project fears, worries and anxieties. It also forms images of future successes and failures. The working mind is only concerned with the functioning of the moment. It also draws on memories to work for the present. It does not judge or differentiate. So in the enlightened the thinking mind is no more in existence, and the mind becomes silent. Words just flow out without prior imaging. The thinking mind is the source of trouble: all negative thoughts arise from the thinking mind. It therefore interferes with the smooth functioning of the working mind. When an unenlightened uses only a working mind, as when he is totally engrossed in what he is doing, time goes by very rapidly. In no time three hours have passed by. Neither is he tired. The working mind does not exhaust a person. In an emergency, the enlightened does not panic being devoid of a thinking mind. He acts quickly and instinctively with only the working mind. The mental chattering and daydreaming are both of the thinking mind. The working mind is a silent witness, if there is anything to witness. If there is nothing to witness, it goes deep into pure Consciousness. In one’s practice of the spiritual path before enlightenment, the thinking mind gradually gets subdued on the way. When the ‘me’ becomes less obtrusive, the working mind takes over more and more. Of course the working mind also must use memory to bring in judgement for the execution of the present action. In identifying with the body and there is no image of a doer attached, then it is still the working mind. Habits are not necessarily that of a working mind only. If there is judging or evaluating a situation from the personal point of view it is from the thinking mind. To help staying in the working mind is to truly believe that flowing of one’s G-plan or Tao is beyond one’s control. Just do it without worrying or anticipating the consequences.

While using the working mind, one must totally be present and the mind is not a blank. One could call it an intuitive mind. Most imaging especially when projecting the dire consequences of the future is of the thinking mind. However, drawing images from the past to execute the task at hand is that of a working mind.

 Summarising the above, the Absolute or Cosmic Consciousness acts through the psychosomatic organism of either an enlightened or unenlightened individual. The enlightened merely reacts to the situation or external circumstances without the thinking mind and there is no 'me' or 'mine' involved. The unenlightened on the other hand will deem himself as a separate self, acting out his experiences with a 'me' and 'mine' fully in the background. As less and less of the thinking mind is being used, the individual will be less and less stressed, worried and anxious until one day he functions only through his working mind. The ego is still there, but this ego is devoid of the thinking mind.

  Can an enlightened individual perform criminal acts?

 As the enlightened person does not deem himself as a separate individual  and all his actions are unselfish, it is highly unlikely that he will perform criminal or antisocial acts. All his actions are for the benefit of other people. If in order to save 100 people he hurts one or a few, he will not hesitate to do so. All his actions are spontanesous and he has no malice aforethought. None of his actions are premeditated except at that moment of execution. He has no worries for his future. He does not seek gain or fame. There is no self-gratification in his actions. In this way, humility, compassion, love and wisdom are his guiding principles.

 Although the enlightened does not resort to criminality, his reaction sometimes do not conform to social mores, e. g. his predilection to sex. To explain away his promiscuity, he tends to say that he is above the social etiquette of the general public. Or a more likely explanation is that it is merely the psychophysical organism's normal reaction to that organism's instinct. It is like when he is hungry he just eats. When he is sleepy, he sleeps. When he is sexy, he likes to have sex. 

His Auras 

 

To those who can see auras, they will be able to visualise that the jnani’s auras are much larger than normal. They are also clear without smudges. The main colour would be purple. Any body remaining in the same room as the jnani would be embraced by his auras, which can fill up the entire room. This embracing aura is very healing, especially if the jnani is a healer. Otherwise peace and tranquillity will be emanated by this aura.

 

Bliss

 

Enlightenment is also being with his soul, which has its 5 sheaths. The soul is also known as Sat-Chit-Ananda. Sat is being. Chit is consciousness and Ananda is bliss. Having disassociated oneself with the body-mind complex (body, emotions and mind), he is left with his auras and the 1^st covering of bliss. The auras are just his normal armour, which he cannot discharge. He is now left with bliss, which is also a component of the soul. That is why the very first reaction of enlightenment is the utter bliss and joy, but having entrenched himself in the pure consciousness of his soul for sometime, the bliss becomes a normal accompaniment and it is nothing special.

 

                   How does the enlightened view the world?

 

The enlightened realises that Totality or Cosmic Consciousness is the same as individual consciousness, and therefore he is not a separate entity. He and the myriad of entities, vegetation and insects are activated and powered by the same Consciousness. However, the unenlightened does not know this, and he identifies himself with his psychosomatic organism with its attendant suffering. He has the erroneous view that he is separate and that he controls his life. That is why some sages deem the entire world as unreal, because the trillions of ‘things’ are merely the manifested shadows of the Unmanifested, Cosmic Consciousness. These diversity of beings and other ‘things’ are the ripples on the surface of the ocean: everything is part of the ocean. Everything in the universe is powered or activated by the same electricity (Consciousness). All there is, is Consciousness. Every mineral, vegetable, animal and human has the same Consciousness. It is only the human that has ‘self-consciousness’, and therefore he suffers the most, because of his thinking mind. With enlightenment and the destruction of the thinking mind, there are no more concepts with its trail of fears, doubts and worries, because the ‘me’ is not present.

                             How does the enlightened react?

 

He reacts spontaneously with no aforethought, but according to the genetic makeup of that particular psychosomatic organism. A large dose of his samskaras (innate tendencies) is infused into this makeup. So if the particular jnani has characteristics of impatience or anger before, he will still be impatient or angry after enlightenment. If he is addicted to cigarette smoking, he will continue to smoke cigarettes after enlightenment. If he has a predilection to sex, he will continue to be attracted to sex. But after all his activities are witnessed and finished with, there is no more attachment after the event. There is no pining or stalking of the sex object in the intervening period. His basic understanding is that he has no control over his reactions: he cannot predict how he will react to his addiction or succumb to a weakness, which comes with his psychosomatic organism. The Absolute or Cosmic Consciousness simply acts through that psychosomatic organism with that failing or addiction. He accepts the changes that come about in his daily life. He does not plan for the event to come about and therefore there is no disappointment. He does not follow a discipline or become a recluse because it conforms to a jnani. As there is no personal doer and as he may have to live with other people, his natural behaviour will have to include co-operation and harmony. His surrender to circumstances is spontaneous and not because of an image he has to build up. He does not have to lead, or to teach or to heal. If doing nothing all day long is his style of living, then he will be seen as a loafer, even if he had been a most industrious worker before enlightenment. There is no telling what transformation or changes a jnani will make to his life. Every conversation, action or thought is spontaneous and his lack of control makes him look like an automaton, but he is not. He merely witnesses the events as a mirror.

The above are the views of an enlightened advaitist.

 

 

How does a jnani see the unenlightened (ajnani)?

 

A jnani does not differentiate between a jnani and an ajnani (unenlightened). To a jnani everybody is powered by the same electricity or Consciousness, and therefore he views all sentient beings as the same. The ajnani, who is veiled by ignorance, cannot recognise a jnani and sees him only as a person who performs action like any other person. So he treats the jnani like any other person without realising that the jnani is devoid of the essence of a personal self. This jnani is propelled and activated by Cosmic Consciousness without a doer performing the acts. A jnani knows that it is the same Consciousness that acts through every sentient being and every form in the universe. Both (jnani and ajnani) are equal to him. Every single individual is unique in that its psychosomatic organism has inherited characteristics from his genes. Every individual must also act out his own G-plan with his samskaras. These do not change with enlightenment. Even his addictions remain.

 

Is the jnani subjected to karma and cause and effect?

 

The psychosomatic organism definitely is subjected to karma and causality. If he breaks a law, that law will punish his psychosomatic organism. Jesus Christ was a good case in point. He was crucified according to the law of that country at that time. However, as there is no being or doer in him, he went headlong into Jerusalem on that day knowing full well that he would be crucified. Being a jnani, the ‘me’ was not there and therefore ‘he’ did not suffer. The psychosomatic organism suffered, but not ‘him’. This reminds us of a Buddhist Zen Koan, in which a monk was asked whether an enlightened person was subjected to karma. He answered wrongly: ‘No’. As a consequence of this mistake, the monk had to be reincarnated 500 times as a fox! The retribution of course was an exaggeration, but the lesson was well taught. A jnani does not create future karma, but its psychosomatic organism is subjected to past (prarabdha) karma. Of course after his death there is no more karmic effect because he will not be reborn again unless he has decided to be a Bodhisattva.

 

Witnessing is just Being.

 

In witnessing, there is no observer. It is the state of Consciousness witnessing when there is something to witness. If there is nothing to witness, Consciousness goes deeper into a state of rest of non-witnessing. Ramana Maharshi calls this the ‘natural state’. It is like the automatic gear in a car. In witnessing, the car automatically changes gear when accelerating. But Consciousness automatically goes back to neutral i.e. non-witnessing when there is nothing to witness. In this non-witnessing state, the jnani hears the sounds and sees the sights without any personal involvement at all. If this state continues, he goes into samadhi. However, when a reaction is required, the non-witnessing state moves back into a witnessing state again. It is automatically smooth and spontaneous. In the jnani, his Consciousness is impersonal and is similar to the Consciousness of an ajnani in deep sleep. In deep dreamless sleep, the ajnani does not identify his Consciousness with his psychosomatic organism but he does so when awake. The jnani does not identify with his psychosomatic organism when awake. To him it is an awakened dream, when awake. In this state he does not witness his thoughts. His thought gets witnessed. This means there is no one witnessing. In this pure witnessing, there is no ‘me’ involved and therefore there is no judgement or comparison. The jnani is just like a mirror: what is mirrored does not effect him. He mirrors only what is presented to him, who himself is a non-entity.

 

The Inherent Characteristics of the Jnani

 

Due to his G-plan and prarabdha (karma to be spent in this life), the jnani still has to suffer or enjoy the effects of karma. Additionally due to his samskaras he also has desires and anger. When desires and anger arise, he may or may not succumb to them. However he does not hold any lingering anger against what makes him angry, neither does he scheme and plan to acquire the objects of his desires. When these desires, thoughts and anger are over, they are all totally forgotten. If the psychosomatic organism has inherent fear, the jnani may also have fear and even terror, but then it passes. That means pain, pleasure, grief and gratification etc will all arise depending on the individual organism. All these will be witnessed and acted upon if necessary and then they are all cut off. If he is hungry, he eats. If he is thirsty, he drinks. If he is sexy, he may or may not go and look for sex, for this process involves some one else. If the above emotions arise with accompanying personal involvement then he is not a jnani. The jnani knows that these desires, emotions and anger are beyond his control: he is merely the instrument for the Absolute to act through. Therefore, enlightenment does not make that individual perfect. He simply becomes whole and awake. With understanding, he is peaceful, blissful and tranquil.

 

Lack of motivation and consistency

 

As the thinking mind is absent, there is no motivation for his action, which is spontaneous, not judgmental and not confusing. His actions may also not be reasonable or consistent. If before enlightenment, the individual is full of love and compassion, then the transformed jnani will also be full of love and compassion. If these are not his qualities before enlightenment, then he may not manifest them too readily after enlightenment. However, agape, compassion and wisdom are usually the basic qualities of the Absolute. Totality is unadulterated, unconditional love!

 

Moral Issues concerning a Jnani

 

Is a jnani virtuous? Having destroyed the thinking mind he is now merely a psychosomatic organism. He is absolutely without self-interest. Everything he does is for the benefit of others, who are not treated as separate. He knows that he and the rest of the universe are charged by the same electricity or impersonal Consciousness: there is no difference between him and others. Therefore he needs not go about to be virtuous. He simply acts. Selflessness and humility are now part of his normal character. He does not have to be selfless or humble. He simply is. This is in contrast to the hypocritically, assumed virtue and humility of the so-called pious people and clergy. In them, there is no spontaneity or naturalness. The altruism of the rich is always overtly seen and advertised. The false humility of the powerful is often too obvious. They try too hard, whereas the jnani does not have to pretend. He just simply is what he is. He knows what Jesus said: ‘I and my father are one. The kingdom of God is within.’

 

Summary

 

Every unenlightened or enlightened being has a unique psychosomatic organism, a body-mind complex. Every form in the universe is charged by the same Cosmic Consciousness. This Consciousness is impersonal until it inhabits a psychosomatic organism, when it becomes personal. The jnani knows that every one on earth is propelled by the same Consciousness, but the ajnani is veiled by ignorance and believes that he is separate from others. In this way he thinks that he controls his own life, and all his activities will either fail or succeed by his efforts. His ego consists of his body, emotions and mind. His mind is notionally divided into thinking and working mind. The thinking mind is the one that makes him suffer. All negativities, fear, and anxiety arise form the thinking mind, which always regrets the past and fears the future. In the jnani, the thinking mind is totally destroyed, and he knows that he is selfless. The jnani knows that Cosmic Consciousness acts through his organism and he has no control over it. So he flows with the Tao. He cannot explain the Tao to his unenlightened friends, because the Tao that is named is not the Tao. The jnani in all probability will not be reborn again when he dies, unless he wants to come back as a Bodhisattva. The psychosomatic organism has its own inherent characteristics, which are derived from its samskaras and genetics. When the organism is born angry, he may remain angry throughout life whether enlightened or not. However, he does not carry the anger over even to the next second. He is very natural and spontaneous. There is no pretension at all. He does not have to put up an image of being saintly or virtuous. In fact he is as imperfect as before enlightenment, but he is whole. Generally, he is healthier, because there is no fear, anxiety or worry due the absence of the thinking mind. However, if a major illness is in his G-plan, he will suffer that illness. All his actions are for the benefit of others, whom he deems as part and parcel of Self (Cosmic Consciousness). Love and compassion are accentuated if they are there before. He is characteristically wise because it is the wisdom of Totality that shines through him.
