Stillness ...

 I know there are two entities living inside me. There is one that is fully active, making a lot of noises, running here and there, both physically as well as mentally. And second is that does not engage with anything and is fully at peace. First one is the body-mind organism which is always in motion and on the go. This is the part that is in touch with the world. It acts, reacts, gets angry, raises demands, and go out and acquire things. This is kinetic energy which is always in action. This is confused and in conflict all the time. This is the part that logically thinks, set goals, performs calculations, seeks profits and pleasures and avoids loss and pain. It is worried and anxious. It is this that gets fearful, ruminates about the past or broods about the future. It does make plans about the future. It is the one that is agitated and always want to do something else and be somewhere else compared to what is doing and where it is currently. Always on the move.  The other p...

 Does life really have a purpose? Even if there is one, is it about finding a specific thing, which could be a passion, a true calling or a meaningful work which one finds worth doing? Or is it about something else? Purpose is to get to a state of mind where the mind is quiet and tranquil in all circumstances. This is also a state where the mind does not crave for anything and thus it is generally happy. This state is also known as sthitprajna .

As a corollary to that, if one is not happy in a given circumstance, he or she will not be happy in other location or circumstance. There could be some happiness for some time but it will not be a long-lasting happiness.  This is the goal of life.  So, what does this...

There is a Light, a big bundle of beautiful and pure effulgent light that is radiating peace and love. This light is present everywhere and is the basis of the existence of the entire manifested universe. But its frequency is not in the visible range of the spectrum.  It is underneath and overneath it and is not only inter-woven with its fabric but itself is the very fabric of the material universe. The whole world is inside this, pervaded and fully enveloped by this from all sides, even though it is not visible to the human eyes. The human body-mind has a center that is of the same essence and is operating at the same frequency as that of that effulgent light. This center in the human body-mind is connected with the light through very subtle and invisible connections. This center can tune-in and out of this frequency. This original frequency is of silence and stillness and pure unconditional love. This center can loosely be thought of as the human mind, which gets out of tune beca...
