Talking Sense about Senses !

The four elements existing in

the Fifth - The Ether Space are all His Creations !

The Sixth Sense is the Sixth Element In the Human 

trying to figure out The Five Senses.

The Subject I am taking up is to be understood and taught in and by Silence.Sufism provides indications of the topic in a very subtle, blunt and easy manner but you have to be an attentive student to your quest within to find answers !
So let me begin with the Quote of my favorite Sufi Poet -Rumi ,
a thirteenth century Persian Poet. 

LOVERS open the eye that sees the Unseen, 
the rest all die blind and deaf."
....~Rumi 

One of the last Spiritual Milestones of all the process of meditation
after the spiritual cleansing through winning over the senses,
opening of chakras , awakening of Kundalini ,
being blessed with the spiritual powers is ---
The Opening of The Third Eye and
Listening to the Unstoppable Streams of Divine Melodies . 
Both happen simultaneously with His Divine Grace.
Deciphering Rumi has been such a wonderful discovery for me on Facebook
and that was the sole reason for me to open Facebook like a ritual.
Rumi was a blessed Sufi Saint who could put
all the Divine Experiences in simple words.
And to understand his words , one has to enter His World
to really fathom what he intended to say.
Coming back to the quote, there is no other way to see the Unseen .
When you are able to perceive Him at the Third Eye ,
His entry in your life is followed
by the caravan of infinite Love, Mercy and Compassion for others
to the accompaniment of the streams of Divine Melodies
from the Unstruck Sound of "Om" emanating
since He created these worlds.
Rumi uses very strong words for humans "the rest all die blind and deaf"
but that is the divine truth that the human life is lived
only after one dies while staying alive
and that death of ego is followed by the discoveries of the real self.
One does not see the Unseen
till one is awakened by the call bell of " Om " ! 
Whenever you pray, ask for His Divine Grace and
when you do your Karma
see that each act becomes His Worship !

Behead yourself !... 
Dissolve your whole body into Vision:
become seeing, seeing, seeing!
.....~ Rumi 

Seeing is believing in physical world !
Believing in Him is the beginning
to Seeing Him in Spiritual World !

All the senses literally have to fall in line with the aim to realize and see Him.

~THE EARS ~
The ears should filter the unnecessary hearings and become ready to hear the Divine Melodies by listening to the Whispering of His Name and praises of the Lord.

~THE EYES~

The Eyes should become thirsty for His Glimpse.The eyes have to become the medium also to gain all the knowledge available from the Spiritual Gurus who have realized God in their lives.

~THE TONGUE~

The cravings of the tongue have to be curbed to eat the kind of food that helps concentration and distracts not the other senses.The tongue by observing Silence plays an important passive role in Seeing Him.The tongue is the eveready translator of the mind.The tongue has to call Him again and again so that it becomes a Constant Recall of The Mind. 

~THE NOSE~

The breathing has to be controlled by Pranayama and life should be lived in natural environment. 

~THE TOUCH~

The touch has to be restrained by leading a life of continence.
The touching of the feet of The Lord is not allowed by impure mind. 
That is the easiest part in preparing for The Vision.

~THE EGO~

The ego is a Sense which it does not allow you to make sense of.
It has to be parted to understand it.

And all the preparation is of No Use if you are not able part with your Ego. 

The Roots of Ego are Lives Deep & 
are well guarded by the Five Senses!
Ego makes you blow your own trumpet all the time & 
you get far & further away 
to Listening to The Silence Within !

That is "Beheading Yourself !".
The good part of the controlling of the five senses
is that the slow beheading gradually begins simultaneously
when the mind is deprived of the control of the five senses.
As you master the five senses ,
the mind is reined in and Mind is ready to be kept at His Altar
to be filled with the Divine Knowledge
and is made ready by Divine Grace to fathom Him
and See Him with the Third Eye
while other senses become the medium
to See and Feel Him in everything and everywhere in This World!

Greed -The New Religion !

Man when forgets the purpose of life,

always end up growing as a scoundrel in a nuts-hell.

Our society is growing used to corruption

at high levels;

trigger happy inheritors of political criminals;

assaults on women;

blind judicial system ( No longer just a symbol );

insensitive rich suffering from greed ;

dreams dilemma of youth ;

Man made Tax Havens etc.

Man are growing Nuts and Hell is here only.

The state sums up the recurring offences,disasters,

dilemmas and misfortunes facing us in our lives.

There is no one to check these offenses , disasters

or misfortunes other than us.

The seed of all these lies in wanting

more our needs.

Wanting More Than The Need is

The Biggest Incurable Disease - It Is Named _ GREED !

There is a very thin line between need and greed and

it takes very little desire

to cross it but it is a deep well once fallen into

one can not come out but with own efforts.

Greed Has Spread to Every Nook & Corner as if It Is

The NEW RELIGION !f it is so-

It is Time to Become IRRELIGIOUS !

Read between the lines of thoughts

when mind traps you with

unwanted things and desires and

do not let the seed of greed sprout.

Love attracts Sacrifices from you at each step with every

expression of it.

Greed attaches Vices to you at each step with

every such act.

Once I detect the errors , it is only my responsibility to correct.

And this has been beautifully summed up

by the following quote by the great Roman Poet.

" I shall try to correct errors

when shown to be errors,

and I shall adopt new views so fast

as they appear to be true views."

.....~Horace

There is only one corner that needs improvement &

that is within you.

You are a responsible citizen of this world

if you take care to improve upon your mistakes.

It is said that a person is your true friend

if he can show you your errors without offending you.

Once you come to know of your errors,

it is for you to rectify

& proceed to make it

appear as the Truth.

Till you reach the Truth about yourself,

You will find the errors at the core of your heart.

Become A Living Truth,

there is No Bigger challenge to Become.

Be true to yourself; to others it may not matter

but it matter to you the most !

But the truth is that "The House" I live in is occupied by Ego .

The Ego likes to Stuff itself with assorted furniture of vices .

The Anger Vice is the Dusted Carpet in the Drawing Room of the Heart .

It raises a storm at the spark of The Mind's Hurt .

The Jealousy Vice is the Chair on which it always Sees others Sitting.

It burns itself in its own fireplace .

The Lust Vice is the Inflated Sofa which is laid defeated by the games mind plays .

It is the alive vice which does not die with dying The Greed Vice is the Locker in The Almirah filled with valuables .

It is the key which locks love among loved ones .

The Attachment is the Chandelier hung in the ceiling of my heart .

It likes to show things you love in a different light .

I emptied myself off with my "I"ness & the Furniture got packed for transfer to the Other World .

The Empty Cartons My Beloved sends back but filled with Love, Compassion, Kindness & Mercy .

My House is now just filled with The Divine Light .

I am back to where I started from .

" He" is a Willing Partner in Awakening !

" He" is a Willing Partner in your Awakening .

Believe in yourself , if you don't , who will believe in you.
It is said your destiny in this world is in His Hands and is revealed to you as the time passes.
Then the question arises can one decide what to become in Life ?
As far as status or position in life, achievements in this world are concerned , they are linked to how earnestly or desperately you wish to have those things , they are in some way predetermined but are linked to your Karmic actions of this and previous life if you believe in it.Your actions in present life how you deal with your family, colleagues ,friends and enemies make and contribute to the person you are.That is the reason for the same amount of hard work , different results come in the lives of different persons.Destiny has a role to play in every individual life and that does not make you the person you are.It is what you aspire to become as that some person in life, the evolution as a human being - that decision is only in your hands.When you take the decision to know yourself, the real person within and not the physical body ; that Destiny to Realize Him is in your hands.God plays no role to wake you up till you try and when you try
" He" is a Willing Partner in your Awakening !

Your destiny to realize Him is rewritten when you hold His Hands . Along with His Hands , come the Mighty Pen with which He writes the Destiny of each individual and that change is in your hands when you hold His Hands."He" has already made you a person , a human being - it is up to you to decide what you want to become now by realizing Him.Begin now to Go within to see things with perfect clarity.In our Silence lies all the perfect answers .Everyone is blessed with the power to intuit but the power prospers in the Light of Practicing The Truth in your Life and in Shade of Mind’s Observig Fast.  

Silence is all about answering the Call Bells of Mind to the Five Senses and not a physical absence of sound.Learning is all about unveiling the Real You underneath the body , around the Soul and Heart and Without the Mind.

To Know others and understand things , know yourself.

To know yourself , know your mind and Soul’s role.
This kind of learning is self-taught and normally overlooked or neglected due to mismanagement of your day to day preoccupations with the mundane things , activities and duties in Life.

It is always too late to learn about yourself.

The Sooner you begin , earlier you arrive at Your Heart Within. Do not leave this world with the wish that “not began yet to learn about oneself”.  

The quote today I have taken up to reflect upon related to this topic is by George Santayana.

Jorge Agustín Nicolás Ruiz de Santayana y Borrás, known in English as George Santayana (December 16, 1863 – September 26, 1952), was a philosopher, essayist, poet, and novelist. Originally from Spain, Santayana was raised and educated in the United States from the age of eight and identified himself as an American, although he always kept a valid Spanish passport. He wrote in English and is generally considered an American man of letters. At the age of forty-eight, Santayana left his position at Harvard and returned to Europe permanently, never to return to the United States. His last wish was to be buried in the Spanish pantheon in Rome.

"The wisest man has something yet to learn."

…~George Santayana

The wisest knows that wisdom is never complete

& it is an ever growing tree.

He takes the Light from within

to initiate photosynthesis of growth.

He takes the Fertilizer from the outside world experiences

to grow the roots for a bigger wisdom tree.

He takes the Water from his karmic deeds

to keep the tree ever green & refreshed.

He prunes the tree by shedding the experience of outdated leaves.

He competes only with himself & not with the outside World  

to get wisdom from Him in the Classroom in Within & from both the Worlds -Inner World and Outer World.

The wisest man is forever learning

from whoever comes in his life and one fine moment he finds that all are being sent by Him in his life and "He" is The Willing Partner in Awakening !

Life is Also A Once in Life Opportunity !

[[[ What did we want to be ? and what we have become !! ]]]

Is this your story also?You have become somebody else than you wanted to become !You never have been specific in life.Though spoken in jest , the thought makes me think that we are all very serious about becoming somebody rather being conscious about what we want to be.Our wanting to become somebody are always controlled by the wishes of parents , peer pressure , economic background or compulsions due to lack of opportunities.

The talents shown in childhood lay camouflaged and dreams go into hibernation sometimes lifelong up to the grave ! If only we can listen to our hearts and tell it to the world in such a manner that those around us can see and dream our dreams with us ,this world will be full of many great somebodies and less of nobodies.Many a genius remain under the shadow of their unfulfilled dreams.Times are changing with the changes in society and the economy as a whole and there are various fields available to dreamers to be great somebodies if once they decide to be the best in in their respective different fields.This very Life is a One Time Opportunity - Do not Miss it !

There is A Japanese Proverb which sums up Life’s Opportunities beautifully-"OUR LIVES ARE DEFINED BY OPPORTUNITIES,EVEN THE ONES WE MISS."

What sort of definition of Life we want to create determines the opportunities we can give a walkover.

The Door need not be opened for an opportunity

which closes the Doors for the Sunshine to enter in your Life.

Distinguish between the opportunities which propel you further in life

&  which come knocking to knock you down later.

Whose Life is it anyway ?

Life which  we believe is ours is ephemeral &  fully belongs to the soul !

It is the sole prerogative of the soul

to choose the opportunities

which come knocking at the door of your mind.

When the heart & the  mind is open ,

it works like a parachute only for the Soul !

Today ,Hand over The Charge

of the opportunities internally to the eternal Soul !

Once you hand over the charge, Love becomes your First Nature.

When Love enters you will fall in Love with small gestures for they can convey big emotions in Life.

Develop a nature wherein Love comes as your first nature .In our lives , we take people around us as granted and forget to express our love for each other .

At the slightest opportunity , express your Love
by hugs , kisses , appreciations , shake hands , flying kisses , twinkling of eyes , winks & high fives !You may even find a new genuine way to express your Love for your near & dear ones !.....

Emote Love !

Promote Love !

Be a devout to Love !

File Smiles in Life's File !

Life's file should be full of smiles !

Tear off all other emotions from memory which you are storing for many previous lives .It has taken you so long to be able to SMILE as a human being.You have been through the worst of the emotions in other births of other than human bodies which used to be everything but smile ! Now you have the opportunity , do not miss to smile in Life !

It is the sole prerogative of the soul

to choose the opportunities

that come knocking at the door of your mind.

It is the soul's right

from the beginning of Time

since it can only See the opportunity

in the Light of The Truth.

A Never Setting Sun- HAPPINESS !

The greatest boon of the web word is the access to the works of authors , poets and historians of various countries through the web world.The laptop or the computer screen and now the mobile has really become a window to world or countries we can not visit or know otherwise.

Today , I take up a quote of the sufi Poet but the topic is the age old topic of Happiness. 

Hafez was a Persian poet who lauded the joys of love and wine but also targeted religious hypocrisy. His collected works are regarded as a pinnacle of Persian Literature are to be found in the homes of most people in Iran, who learn his poems by heart and still use them as proverbs and sayings. His life and poems have been the subject of much analysis, commentary and interpretation, influencing post-14th century Persian writing more than any other author.

The quote goes like in a manner as if the Happiness is an entity outside and then divulging that it is to be found within.

What is within us still alludes us as it keeps on disappearing on the course of life as we link happiness with milestones in life.Happiness has nothing to do with the stations we arrive at as we travel the Life's journey but the manner of travelling.

Ever since happiness heard your name,

it has been running through the streets trying to find you.

I wish I could show you when you are lonely or in the darkness,

the astonishing light of your own being.

....~Hafiz

Happiness is not happening

for my "I"ness is running in the vices streets .

We are dazzled by the Materialistic Fireworks

happening every instant in the Mind's Horizon .

We find no time to sit with ourselves

always cornered by mind to submission

ending up like a lone crusaders of My Mind

in the Crowded Rat Race of Senses !

The wavering Vices are tamed only by The "Name"

The monkey Mind stops jumping and becomes Lame .

Mind creates a unfulfilled desire and happiness is on fire.

Our success or failure depends upon to retain eternal Happiness depends on

the harmony or disharmony  with the divine will.

When we are able to abdicate all our wills to Him,

He harmonizes His Will with our wills.

That is the stage of complete surrender.

Only complete surrender makes our soul

in sync with the Supreme Soul.

The drop once merged becomes the wave in the Sea.

The crests of happiness or troughs of sorrows

makes the wave in harmony with the divine will.

Once we come out of the Mind's Complex ,

Happiness lingers like rays emanating

from a Never Setting sun !

Life deals problems to you like a game of cards !

Your trump cards are sincerity,hard work and dedication

to solve them. These three sow the seeds of Happiness in Karma.

Using all the three cards is always ending in Happiness !

The Happiness if linked to the fruits of your Karma will yield sour fruits of unfulfilled expectations.And if delinked will shower the blissful rains of having done it to your satisfaction. The Top Most Degree in the University of Life is Eternal Happiness.

And the teachings to attain it and retain it are tested by various life events. Happiness is the Most Important Event in your Life which you only have to manage with a Little Divine Help by seeking His Grace.
