Meditate into Higher Consciousness

We live most of our life through three states of consciousness: waking, dreaming and sleeping. In the waking state of consciousness, we experience the world through the five senses through which we seek elevation and joy. If any one of the senses is missing, the entire dimension of that sense is lost. So, the sense is more important and much bigger than object of sense.

Nothing comes easy in life. To reach the level of consciousness, the individual should realize the importance of conditioning oneself through regular meditation and prayer. At the same time we should get rid of the notion that it is beyond the reach of ordinary human beings. No one is born great it is the individual who through his deeds makes himself great. Many great people have had very humble beginnings. We have to be mentally strong to bring the softness in us to cope with anything we may be required to face in life.

The mind is higher than senses; it is infinite, with many desires but the capacity of senses to enjoy is limited. Greed wants more and more of sensory objects. Even though you can only enjoy a limited amount during a lifetime, you want all the wealth in the world.

There are no five senses there is only one sense that is mind for example eyes sees no beauty is seen by mind through there is no sex in our penis sex is state of mind it is enjoyed through by penis we live our whole of our life in dreaming state of consciousness there is no state of waking it is only enlightenment that is called waking there is lot of talk of love but there is no love only hate because love and hate both are state of mind both are different aspects of same coin the more you love the more you hate this is all because of our mind the mind is invisible spirit that lives in our body this creates all kinds of myths beauty love sex desires hate greed thinking all are myths when we think it is not we think it is our mind that thinks no thinking means no mind where there is no mind there is truth is beyond mind those who got free of mind they got enlightened in state of enlightenment mind leaves body then there is no love no hate

Giving too much importance to sensory objects leads to greed; giving too much importance to the senses leads to lust; and giving too much importance to the mind and its desires leads to delusion.

We cling to mind concepts and want things to happen in a certain way. Thus, they impede us from perceiving infinite consciousness that is part of us. All mind senses are not bad; learn to discriminate and be aware of what is happening at all times so that there is clarity. This is the first step towards higher state of consciousness.

In the waking state, you are constantly engaged in looking, eating, working and other pursuits. Sleeping state is where you are completely cut off and dull. Dullness and heaviness linger even after waking. The more you sleep, the duller you feel since much energy is expended in sleep. In the dreaming state you are neither asleep nor awake. Here, you neither feel at rest nor are aware of your surroundings.

Higher state of consciousness is somewhere between the waking, sleeping and dreaming states. Here, we know we are but we don't know where we are. This knowledge I am, but don't know where I am or what I am, is called Shiva. This state gives the deepest possible rest that one can experience. And you can achieve this through meditation.

Meditation prevents stress from entering the system and also releases accumulated stress. With the assimilation of meditation into daily life, a higher, cosmic state of consciousness dawns within. Cosmic consciousness perceives the whole universe as part of oneself. Then love flows between us and the world, empowering us to overcome opposing forces and disturbances.

Anger and disappointments become fleeting emotions. Higher state of consciousness will not suddenly happen one fine morning. The sapling of consciousness is within you to nurture it through spiritual practices like meditation. Some coconut trees yield in three years, some in 10 years. And those that are not nurtured never yield, they simply exist. Attaining higher states of consciousness demands no complicated strategy; just learn the art of letting go. The confluence of knowledge, understanding and practice makes life complete.

Life is to experience every thing. It would happen some day lovely thought Anger and disappointments become fleeting emotions. Higher state of consciousness will not suddenly happen one fine morning. The sapling of consciousness is within you to nurture it through spiritual practices like meditation.

When you grow into higher states of consciousness, you are no longer thrown off-balance by situations and disturbances. You become strong yet soft, a delicate and beautiful individual capable of accommodating different values in life without conditions. As your consciousness opens and you get physically, mentally and spiritually elevated, life truly becomes worth living.
