Existence [Asthittva]
is everything. Existence is nothing. Existence is contradictory. All these statements are true.
Instead of using the word
God, I am using Existence, because the moment we say God, lot of prejudice,
belief and opinions come.
Having said the above, it
means Existence has infinite dimensions. Each Enlightened Master takes or
follows one dimension through which they have been enlightened, because they
know that path.
Let us understand few dimensions
of Existence. Some of these dimensions can be easily understood via our
sensory organs. Read the following
statements very slowly and carefully.
1.
Divine Sound [Dhwani]:
We can hear sound via our
ears. Science says a source is always needed to create sound, e.g. when we clap
our hands there is a sound. So a person who is not deaf, then they can hear
sounds. But existence is Sound [Omkar] [Anhad], a source less sound, which
is always there. Any person when they get connected to Existence, they can hear
it. Not only they can hear it, they become one with it. Even a deaf person can
hear and become one with it.
It is sound of one hand
clapping. Difficult to comprehend, but true. We only understand anything
via mind. This can be realized, when we drop our mind.
In the Bible it is said,
There was a word, then the world came.(something sort of this). This word is
nothing but the source less sound which it is referring. Guru Nanak, Meera Bai followed this path.
Then a question comes into
our mind, why a normal person cannot hear it. Because our consciousness is
focused outward. Just move inwards and you will be able to connect with
existence [Sound]
The source less Divine Sounds are as follows:
- Humming sound of bees
- Sound of anklets (worn on a woman's feet)
- Sound of conch
- Sound of gong
- Sound of trumpet-blast
- Sound of flute
- Sound of Bhir
- Sound of drum beat[mridang]
- Sound of Shahnai [Naferi]
- Sound of lions roar
2.
Divine Light [Prakash]:
Similarly as sound through
ears, we can see via our eyes only. Existence is Light [Prakash][Alok], a
sourceless light. Any person when they get connected to Existence, they can
see it. Even a blind person can see it.
We cannot see (feel) it,
because, it’s like we are facing towards the sun and keeping our eyes closed. Open
your inner eyes (not your physical eyes).
The source less Divine Light are as follows:
- Violet
- Indigo
- Blue
- Green
- Yellow (Golden)
- Orange
- Red (Ochre, a shade of red)
- White - All colors are present
- Black - No colors present
3.
Divine Touch [Sparsh]
Similarly there is existential
touch. A touch without touching we can feel. A source less touch.
4.
Divine Taste [Swadh]
Similarly there is existential
taste. Without tongue(taste buds) we can taste it. That doesn’t mean we should
kill our taste buds. With tongue also you can feel it, but without anything put
on the tongue. A source less taste.
5.
Divine Fragrance [Gandh]
Similarly there is divine fragrance. Even without any object surrounding us, we can smell the divine fragrance.
A source less fragrance. (Mohammed the Muslim prophet followed this path). Therefore Muslim people put [Ittar].
6.
Divine Energy [Urja]
Similarly there is divine
energy. This is one of the most interesting aspect which is easier to feel. A source
less energy.
7.
Divine Intoxication [Khummari]
People enjoy getting intoxicated through drugs, liquors etc. But you will be surprised that we can get intoxicated even without these external mediums. With external mediums we become unconscious but with divine intoxication, we enjoy the intoxication with full awareness. It is a source less intoxication.
We might have seen Enlightened person are in a blissfull intoxicated state (e.g. Ramkrishna Paramhans). This is it.
8.
Divine Nectar [Amrit]
Divine Nectar means
consciousness which never dies. It has no beginning and no end. Our real
permanent self. Refer Out of Body Experience
Key
Points:
We can connect with
Existence through any of the above divine dimensions of existence. Everyone has
one of the faculties more active than the other. E.g. Some people’s ear are
very sharp as compared with their other sensory organs. Even the slightest
sound they can hear. For them they can get connected to existence via sound.
They only have to listen inwards. Main point is sensitiveness, receptiveness and getting
connected through a Master (Refer Tips
for finding a Master (Sadguru) or for all articles on Master see Master(Guru)).
Wisdom Pointer:
Kindly read these as
information only. When you are on your spiritual journey, one day you may
actually know it. That time do not stop, but move forward exploring various dimensions
of existence.
