Good Morning Friends ,
When in search of Supreme Power or Soul ?
I am a peaceful soul , a tiny spark of light , a non-physical being . In this consciousness I am able to see others as a souls too . When we go beyond the limitations of physical identity in this way . All souls are points of energy , in different physical costumes , and playing different roles in this world drama on this stage . If we see ourselves as actors , playing different roles in different costumes , is there a director of this huge drama ? Is it possible that there is a Supreme Being , a source of power , energy and knowledge who would fulfill the role of Father or Director ?
A Supreme Being ? If so , then who ?
It has been mentioned that the meaning of "Yoga is union and the meaning of "Raja" is king , master of sovereign , but in particular , it means supreme , so Raja Yoga is union with the Supreme , the Father , Director , the one who has been remembered as God .
However , when I start to search for the identity of the Supreme Being , it becomes extreamely confusing . I even reach the stage when I wonder whether there is a God , or whether it is all the creation of human minds . If there is a Supreme Being in existence it should be possible for me to have one complete introduction to him , one complete set of facts .
Human experiment has been one thing , but the knowledge from the Supreme Bing about His own form and identity is something very different . According to the teachings of Raja Yoga and perhaps you will experiment and in so doing reach an experience of the Supreme . After all , the purpose of knowledge is to experience . Is it possible to experience a relationship through direct communication with Supreme Father ?
What is the form of the Supreme ?
having recognised the soul to be a point of light , a pinpoint of energy . Each soul is unique , an identity within itself , each with a different record of experience , a unique intellect , and a mind which functions on a particular wavelength. However , evry soul is the same size and form , a tiny point of light . It is certainly possible then , that the Father of all souls would have the same form . The supreme Being is also a soul , a spark of light , the infinitessimal pinpoint which contains within itself a mind , intellect and sanskars , a personality .
It has often been felt that God is some form energy, but that the Supreme Being is one with a personality , with whom I can have a relationship , may seem strange . What are sanskars . what is personality ? It is the recording of action. God has been remembered as the one who performed actions which were truly beneficial , so the Supreme Being has benefit in the sanskars . He has been remembered as the ocean of knowledge , and it is within the intellect that knowledge is retained . The intellect of the supreme , being supreme , is beyond limitations - with complete wisdom and awareness . The Supreme also has a mind and God has been recognised as One who gives unlimited love , peace and mercy .
It is said that if you were to turn the earth into paper , the ocean to link the trees o write down all the qualities of the Supreme and all the praise which could be attributed to Him. But in order to understand definite characteristics , we can concentrate on the specific qualities , love , Purity , peace , bliss and power . As we turn our thoughts to the Supreme in meditation ,the soul is flooded with the experience of these qualities and actually absorbs these qualities within itself , thus eventually achieving complete transformation.
If there is to be union with the Supreme , it is only possible when there is the awareness of God as a pinpoint . It is not possible for the mind to concentrate on a huge expanse . When a complete image is seen , then the mind , the eyes and the brain will instantly build up a composite picture and a whole scene will come together . But there can only be total concentration on one tiny part of one object. And so the soul , seeking union with the Supreme , sees Him as a pinpoint , total concentration can then be achieved and union is experienced . A relationship is then build up .
What is the form of the Supreme and what is meant by the name Shiva ?
There are as many names as there are tongues for the Supreme , and each one is accurate in that each one coveys a special meaning of quality . But the one name that carries a multitude of meanings, a whole world of significance , is the sanskrit name "Shiva" . The word Shiva has three specific meanings : Shiva means the Benefactor , the point and it also means the seed .
From the word Shiva we can see the qualities of God , that is , the Benefactor, the beloved Father , we come to know His form , the point , and also God as the seed of the Tree . The knowledge of the whole "human tree" is contained within the seed , and the Seed is the Creator of the Tree. In this name is contained the theoretical knowledge of the Supreme Soul , but in my own meditation another name is used , and that is "Baba" . Baba means father or daddy and immediately conveys the idea of my close relationship with beloved Father . And so this Supreme , the Incorporeal , Shiva Baba .
What is the difference between the Soul and The Supreme Soul ?
We have been looking at the similarities between the soul and the Supreme Soul , in form , size and in the function of the mind , intellect and sanskars . There are , however , some interesting differences .
All souls take a human body , a costume , in which to play their roles on the world stage , within the cycle of birth and death . But the Supreme Soul is the One from this cycle of birth and death, the One who is constantly incorporeal.
Souls , taking on a human body , are governed by the laws of action and reaction (Karma) , and there is either liberation or bondage , depending on actions.
The Supreme is the One who is totally fulfilled , eternally complete and forever constant , constant in name ( whereas human names are merely labels for the body ), constant in qualities . No human soul has this constancy and this is why we turn to God when seeking the stability .
The Supreme is also constant in abode .
What is meant by the Three World ?
This physical world on which we are now living is known as the CORPOREAL WORLD. .
Beyond this world Subtle Region is the INCORPOREAL WORLD, a place of constant , unchangeable light , of complete stability , silence and peace . The land of NIRVANA, which means the land beyond sound or the land of release or of liberation. This is my Home , the World from which all souls come , and the land where all souls ultimately go. IT is also the Home of the Supreme Father , Shiva Baba .
The Raj Yogi can turn his mind away from this corporeal world to that incorporeal world , where the Father resides , and where he can experience complete peace .
I had experienced Vision . Now your Turn . Find Out God !
