An interesting observation on absolutes: It is a well-known fact that the much attractive gold ornaments cannot be made of pure gold metal because of its acute softness. Some impurity has to be essentially added in the pure gold for making it worth-for-making ornaments. Also do note that good and worthy ornaments cannot be made only of the impurities either. His-Nature, the Best Teacher, reveals this interesting fact to us. It is up to us how we interpret it and use this fact. Absolutes or extremes of anything contribute treacherously in the play drama of life. Drama playfully begins with less than the absolute attributes. Situational balance expected!
Concentration: Another important point that is worthwhile to be touched upon here is with regards to concentration. On whichever thing we concentrate, that grows, this is science. But its opposite too is true. Surprisingly, that too is science, a higher science. If we ignore a certain thing for a long time it too grows, perceive it yourself too. This is the dual aspect of maya. A patient’s some acute disease, and routinely growing unwanted weeds in a farmer’s field; are befitting examples for understanding this concept. If a patient either concentrates on or ignores his disease, it grows. But if he concentrates on appropriate prescription of his disease, and persistently acts on it, and uses his will power for his well-being, he may find considerable relief from his disease. Same way, if a farmer either concentrates or ignores the routinely growing weeds along with the much wanted growing crop in his field, they still grow naturally. He neither can completely ignore weeds nor can he be too much attentive to them. Weeds, though undesired, always grow naturally. As a good farmer, he has to constantly keep removing weeds while concentrating more and more on the growth part of his good crop. Through this simple observation, His-Nature hammers on us for further practical understanding of this fact that, balanced concentration and balanced ignorance, both are important. But who will tell us how much, on what, and when? One needs to find answers true to oneself within oneself for this. Keep continuously training your mind to concentrate more on solutions without actually ignoring any problem too much for too long. A lot of research has already been done and is still being further done on various aspects of focus or concentration or attention now-a-days. Stay in regular touch with further research developments on concentration.
Point related to medical science of the body: Observe that medical reports related to all bodily tests contain low and high range of values which are unique for each given test, which illustrates that everything must be in the balanced position for good health as per composition of the body, and also with respect to the given value for each particular test. Aside, medical science also tells us that a pin-head equivalent iodine is must for the body to avoid some serious complications – very minute but very important fact that cannot be ignored. Again inference is that the balance is perfectly and uniquely seeded in each and everything as per specific constitution of the creation!
Habit related revealing fact: Small actions related to any physical or mental habit, good or bad, done regularly for a sufficiently long period become the root cause for its firm fixation and for reflexive resulting outcome of such habit. Some of your strong bad habits, a few of those may even lie mentally in your thinking of which you might not be aware, are not the result of actions of any one day or any one night. If one analyses honestly, he will find that over the years those wrong habits would have been constantly fed with wrong doings. Removal task of any of such firm wrong habit shall be undertaken steadily in a slow and progressive manner as slowly and gradually as it has entered into your being and undesirably got there fixed. Understand its uprooting way more from this analogy. If a hard stone gets broken at one-thousandth hammer strike, it doesn’t mean that previous nine-hundred-and-ninety-nine hammer strikes had no role to play in the breaking of that stone. Each hammer strike has its own importance and has also contributed in the gradual weakening of that hard stone. Same way, slow but progressive removal of any fixed bad habit shall be undertaken by gradually weakening it by no further feeding till this is completely removed. Be careful that jerky or erratic removal of any old wrong habit may strike you back with much greater force, howsoever strong will power you may apply for its removal at the first place. It is better to adopt slow and gradual shift while either forming or removing or improving a habit for its permanent good reflexive result. Also bear in mind, due to strong effect of maya, negative motivation is more powerful than positive motivation. Negative motivation generally acts as a worst deterrent in reform of any of your negative habit. Stay distantly far away from negative motivation wherever you observe that.
Truth related to importance of Human Body: Fact remains; human body is given to human beings to consciously realise that they are not bodies rather something else beyond bodies. This line of thought, if seeded appropriately in man’s mind, progressively paves the way for dissolution of his karma, and then awakening. For divine absorption of this concept, body must be kept hygienic and adequately healthy. But miserably, overindulgence of body in sex, wine and money keeps human body tightly tied to the lone thought of it being mortal only. Marriage was an institution which was scientifically, purposefully and thoughtfully created by our ancient great masters but it lost its true message with the passage of time. Without marriage, man is not able to cross the barrier of being a body only to realising as not merely a body. In his daily activities also, man identifies himself too much with his body, forgetting that someone else is The Ruler and is perfectly, lawfully driving the universe. Here is the time to awake, and only to reasonably perform bodily functions before His dictatorial dissolving role fiercely comes into play. Of course, such is not anticipated of any averagely wise person so as to invite His that harsh role. He is kind and lets us taste His kind role only, though He is scientifically bound to perform His perfectly balancing role. However, very interestingly, a step further and as a part of higher science, the moment you realise that you are not a body, you are very surprisingly kept intact in the body by Him, though this very time against your acute desire of not being in the body again. As per His higher laws, it is actually beginning of divine journey to perform your divine role ahead, for which you require the body, and have been purposefully saved in the same by Him. As you are now reformed to your harmonious position after full realisation that you are not merely a body, you are divinely put under pressure to perform your divine duty to create awareness in all other ignorant bodily human beings, that they are not merely bodies. This is tantamount to the beginning of dissolution of your part of mass karma for the benefit of the society, and for formation of stabilised base for your eternal success and happiness. As usual, take care, to avoid any hurry and not to indulge in overdoing of anything. All this revelation requires spherical opening of one’s mind for its complete understanding.
In short, you need a body to know that you are not a body, then the very next moment you are divinely saved in the body by Him, now to tell others that they are not bodies. Lawfully and scientifically, body is in fact also unfailingly needed to perform divine duty of telling others that they are not bodies. Without being in body, His Truth neither can be understood nor can be largely spread that human beings are not merely bodies alone. Notably, the one who takes the onus of vocally spreading the Truth of Spirit unavoidably attracts huge amount of fall back of mass karma on him in proportionate to the intensity of his existence being used for spreading the profound truth, for which he must be strong and wise enough to handle the same and shall be able to dissolve the same in its entirety. Else, immoralities of life primarily stay lustfully attached with the human body. Also, potent irony is that the worldly laymen always observe such an awakened person not being less than any perfect which is least possible, for he is still being encased in a human body that normally attracts too many evils of maya and easily gets entrapped by them at any stage. At times, ignorant people intentionally expect too much instant life-reforming magical things from a few spiritually awakened persons which, suggestively and scientifically, shall not be exhibited in too worldly environment because of their balancing perfections, and also to avoid fear of attracting any mockery, from the general public, of any such godly feat. Recall, He alone is the Solely Perfect, rest all are relatively placed in the dream-world. Once you realise that you are not a body, it is strongly expected of you to remain cool and intact, humble and down to earth, as far as possible, to avoid attracting any evil force of the worldly environment. Still, for greater good, choose silence and service over anything else. Do not forget where ignorance is bliss it is folly to be wise, keeping quiet is always a better option. The callous and hard-hitting condition of being in body, to know that you are not a body, simultaneously mixed with the forceful gravitationally downward pulling spirals of maya, makes the situation hugely confusing and ticklish in both ways, one for its complete understanding and the other for crossing the inevitable perfect halfway mark of evolutionary staircase at human junction. In every situation, despite all the difficulties and odds, keep striving hard to move upward. Nevertheless, His balancing role without fail remains enforced perfectly all the time, and highest purpose of human body is realisation of God only.
Influence of logics on one’s mind: There is a very popular old story prevalent in India with regards to the existence of God. Once there were two groups, both were very intelligent and superbly knowledgeable. One group was an ardent believer of God and another was completely non-believer. One evening during discussions, both the groups entered into a scuffle on the topic whether God exists or not? Both were having very valid resounding logics to prove their point. Each group was countering other party’s point very convincingly with proofs. Whole night passed by, brawl was yet on; but the final outcome, who was the possible winner, was still awaited? Lo! dawn arrived. But what result? Result awesomely and unexpectedly surprised all – theists became atheists, and atheists became theists, completely succumbing to the logics put forth by members of the other group. Conclusion? Two too-intelligent opinions on the same topic seldom agree. Stay away from such debates which might have got the ability to pull you down, and to change your basic belief system with which you are born. You are born with some of your deeply rooted basic beliefs, know that and firmly believe that. Extremities are painful, and there is no life in perfect balance, but still God does kindly exist in the form of two opposite energies only, continually merging into each other and emerging from each other. He has absolutely, perfectly and uniquely personified Himself amazingly beautifully in You in accordance with His One and Only Balancing Act.
Vicious Cycle: When a few attributes in a man start continuously pulling him down because of one another, this is dubbed as man being caught between the vicious cycle of those attributes. Like; fear, anger, greed and impatience are the attributes with which man is pulled down into deep well. Here, one strongly negative attribute makes another related negative attribute also strong, His-Nature acts like that only. This causes strong downward pull of spirals. One must be cautious of this and shall avoid getting entrapped in any such cycle.
Supportive Evolving Attributes: When some attributes start pushing the man up because of each other, this may be worded as supportive evolving attributes. Like pure heart and strong mind are two strong attributes with which man naturally climbs upward. Likewise, if you are happy, you will be healthy and if you are healthy, you will be happy. Here, one strongly positive attribute makes another related positive attribute also strong. In the beginning, one may find it a bit difficult to form any good habit strong enough, and getting the same permanently fixed in his being, but once done, this automatically creates strong upward evolving spirals. Happy-go-lucky fellows are also of such type – they are happy because they are lucky and they are lucky because they are happy.
Beautiful lines on Friendship (by Dinah Maria): Saying so spiritually, Friendship has always been accorded the highest status amongst all human relations ever since life’s drama on earth began, and sacredly named it as the Divine Relationship. Read on Dinah Maria’s soul comforting beautiful lines on Friendship: “Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort, of feeling safe with a person; having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but to pour them all out just as they are, chaff and grain together, knowing that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then, with the breath of his kindness, blow the rest away”.
We must cultivate such a true friendship with a few ones for ensuring our and their safe and smooth upward journey. But in the name of friends, one shall never forget that above everyone else one has to finally befriend Him. Remember, He is Friend behind all friends.
Help and Support: It is always good to extend help and support to others and to receive the same from others till the point it keeps everyone’s spine straight and erect, meaning it keeps pushing up. In this good act, know that beyond the point where anyone’s spine starts losing its straightness, then extending and receiving such help must be stopped, given a break, and monitored. The idea is that such good actions must strengthen both – the giver and the receiver. It is closely observed that sometimes beyond a certain threshold limit, at the point where it is overdone, it starts weakening the concerned, meaning it starts pulling down. Balanced approach towards this will help and shall not be overlooked here too.
Know that: Apart from the long list of the things contributed by our great nation to the world due to its very rich spiritual heritage and supreme knowledge, India has also contributed these four M’s to the entire world – Music, Mantra, Mithai and Masaale. Each one of these bears its unique important spiritual purpose related to it.
Music & Mantra: Listening to them with your whole being instantly unites your soul with Spirit – pushes up. Mithai & Masaale: Their tasteful palatable enjoyment holds Spirit back united with soul in the body – keeps down.Impressively, due to its distinguished contribution to the world, world owes a lot to India.
This structure is contained in all and all are contained in this structure – Evolutionary Staircase. And as detailed in the structure, there are four stages in a man’s life for reaching complete evolution. Man’s composition invariably continuously contains strings from all the given four stages of consciousness, though with continued differing intensity of each stage, but predominantly of any one stage. Each stage is governed by its own Operative Law. It is the first and foremost duty of every man to observe and willfully keep moving his consciousness upward with his full strength from Stage One of indicative Divine Mother’s Womb or Sub-consciousness, to Stage Four of indicative Heavenly Father’s Seat or Super-consciousness, though all the way slowly but in any case not stopping at any stage, for his own individual benefit and for the benefit of the society at large.
During this upward journey of consciousness, while consciously crossing PBTL through PBP, it just happens due to sudden inflow of immense eternal joy at a perfect point, mentally strong man reaches directly and hurriedly from Stage One to Stage Four, forcefully setting aside intervening journey of the two stages of consciousness – Stage Two and Stage Three. Man’s solid sub-conscious mind gets swiftly dissolved with his part of gaseous Super-conscious mind. This is man’s spiritual birth, that is experienced and is purely scientific. Here, due to his breathtaking spiritual unfoldment, man is conferred with the matchless power that enables him to peep deep into the future. He must seize the glance of this moment in his heart without sharing it with anyone. But at this stage, spiritually novice man is unable to stay and hold himself at Stage Four of the highest consciousness, that is to say, in the zone of God’s Brahma aspect; and do know further, that as also bound by His Operative Law, He too is unable to hold His uplifted learner man there for too long. Hence, consciousness of such man falls again and he is gently placed back by Him in the lap of Divine Mother, to complete and replay, effectively and efficiently, the unfinished journey left behind in the two intermediary stages – Stage Two and Stage Three.
In the journey of consciousness, Stage One and Stage Four are intensive energy zones which primarily strongly affect human mind, while Stage Two and Stage Three are their extensions respectively which mainly affect human body. PBTL is the perfect balance for which human body and human mind, both are fully designed and equipped to explore it, trace it and pass through it. The all knowledge being shared with you shall act simply as fertilizer and irrigation for you to bring YOU out of you, only by sprouting your own seeds that are already contained in you. Bear in mind that your soulmate will be the one who tries to bring out the best in you, he may not be perfect but he surely will be perfect for you.
A small but important old Hindu custom related to the birth of a child bears an awesome significance that can be symbolically co-related with the above scientific explanation experienced by any awakened man in the journey of consciousness. When a child is born, he is immediately given in the hands of his father (co-relate it with the invisible journey of consciousness directly reaching from Stage One to Stage Four pushing aside two intervening stages that are still to be experienced and travelled). Baby’s father is indicatively the representative of Heavenly Father. After seeing baby’s face, father gently places him back in the lap of his mother (now co-relate it with Stage Two) for completing his journey of playing fun in mother’s lap so as to complete his childhood part. Baby’s mother is indicatively the representative of Divine Mother. During the further growth journey of the child, father also starts playing his part; to play with him and to carry him in his lap (now co-relate it with Stage Three). After successfully completing journey of stages two and three, he is then fully prepared to take his journey of stage four i.e. of father’s seat. This is generally followed in every Hindu’s home and fully justifies the parallel scientific importance contained in the uplifting of divine consciousness. In the worldly environment, this journey is visible; and in the Heavenly Fold, this is invisible, but steps remain the same.
All Hindu rituals and customs are visibly comprehensible and these bear, for sure, some very important indicative scientific significance in relation to the upward movement of humanity for liberation and merger towards invisible and incomprehensible Fatherly energy. Precisely, purpose of establishment of family culture in our societal living system by the great learned masters was not meant solely for carrying out the activity of continuity of race that is ordinarily grasped by most laymen. Rather, its purpose went much beyond that but only a few wise could rise to the occasion and peep deep into themselves to comprehend the true nature of the same.
Importantly, stating scientifically as per His perfect balancing operational law, people who are absorbed too much with the Stage Four of consciousness journey shall restrain themselves from frequently mixing with the people who are at Stage One of the consciousness. Vibrations of their respective energies in these two stages / zones are too intense and strong, that human body and mind may not be able to withstand the strong spell of opposite vibrations of the other stage / zone, and in such cases the body may perish though purely scientifically.
To my understanding, and as I realised too, that we, Indians, primarily remain sub-consciously connected at Stage Four of the consciousness i.e. ratio of our operational energy or consciousness is highly Fatherly, that causes a bit inertness in us too, from where we continuously and infinitely draw our energy but we visibly and habitually remain intermingled at Stage One of consciousness. One apparent reason for this is that we have been chiefly devotional since ages, which constantly and sub-consciously keeps us mentally connected with the Stage Four of the evolutionary staircase but our habits keep us tied to Stage One. Hence, it becomes more imperative and inevitable on all of us to consciously and daringly climb upward and cross the halfway mark for our own divinely blessed transformational shift towards our eternal joy and peace. Indians must evolve to shed their inertness, fearfulness and timidity, to which they are usually tagged with, and shall adventurously and boldly slip into a highly blessed zone to which they actually belong.

Each individual has the highest intensity of any one element and lowest intensity of any other element which he needs to find out and act accordingly for reducing the gap in the intensity of all elements, for full understanding of divine-drop. Differing intensity of each element makes him unique in the creation. Striving upward through balance places him in the higher infinite realms for his harmonious positioning.
Story of Four Ladoos for more easy understanding of two energies: There are four ladoos for everyone in this universe – two taste-wise, two size-wise. Two sweet, two bitter. Two big, two small. One sweet ladoo is big and one sweet ladoo is small. One bitter ladoo is big and one bitter ladoo is small.
Out of these four, man was born with two ladoos placed inside him at the time of his birth, which he was invisibly enthused to find out. While the other two were available somewhere outside in the universe to him, obviously within his uncomfortable reach. He was then challenged with a divine test to be aware of this through his actions and thoughts, and henceforth to make all efforts to mix the ladoos on their taste basis only – to mix both the sweet ladoos, and to mix both the bitter ladoos – for his scientific eternal completion, success and happiness; as this is bound to take him to his harmonious placement in the higher world.
Before mixing, obviously, he was supposed to educate himself regarding the taste and placement of all the four ladoos, both inside and outside. Ah! A Big Challenge before each one of us. But a must to accept and pass.
Now, read this story again with reference to the four stages of consciousness:
Stage One: Bitter-small ladoo – Sub-consciousness (Intensive Divine Mother’s Energy or Divine Mother’s Womb)
Stage Two: Bitter-big ladoo – Growing consciousness (Extensive Divine Mother’s Energy or Divine Mother’s Lap)
Stage Three: Sweet-big ladoo – Evolving consciousness (Extensive Heavenly Father’s Energy or Heavenly Father’s Lap)
Stage Four: Sweet-small ladoo – Super-consciousness (Intensive Heavenly Father’s Energy or Heavenly Father’s Seat)
This explanation bears easily understandable deep scientific Truth hidden in thickly and tightly gripped multiple veiled layers of maya in the two continually dancing energies of the cosmos; it is well said, illusion works impenetrable, weaving webs innumerable. Take pains to uncover your layers of maya to unfold your part of One Truth in this ‘Tamasha’ nature of the dream-world.
O’ Lord of the Infinite! Guide me, Possess me.
