The traditions of self realization are not unknown to Western

religion. Witness the teachings, for example, of St.Ignatius Loyola

(the so called classic method of meditation), the Orthodox Churches

(the Prayer of the Heart, a method of repeating the name of the

Lord), the Suplician Oratorian Fathers (the " head " and " heart "

meditation), Martin Luther (structured meditation, but to be

abandoned in the Presence of the Holy Spirit), the Kabbala, the

Quakers (hearkening to the " inner voice " ), and especially, perhaps,

Meister Exkhart, the German muystic, and Jan van Ruysbroeck, the

Flemish mystical theologian.

 

However, the systematic understanding of the divine journey has been

more notable in the Eastern disciplines. For thousand of years, a

great spiritual tradition has flourished in India. the ancient

teachings of realized sages have been passed from teacher to student.

The Vedas, particularly the Upanishads, contain the teachings

necessary for self transformation. They illuminate the message of the

divine selfm the atma, characterized by being, consciousness, and

bliss. The atma resides in all of us as our guide and goal - the

identity sought in the question, " Who am I? "

 

" The atma is immanent in everyone. It is the spark of divinity which

gives him light, love and joy " Baba

 

Because divinity is inherent in all, we all have an opportunity got

God realization. realization can be achieved by the beggar or the

king, the educated person or illiterate. it is not dependent on sex,

age, or status, only on the spiritual consciousness of the seeker.

The goal is the same for all. All are finally driven to achieve that

victory by the growing experimental knowledge of who and what we most

essentially are.

 

" There may be difference among men in physical strength, financial

status, intellectual acumen, but all are equal in the eyes of God;

all have the right and the potentiality to achieve the goal of

merging in him. Note that everyone, from the begger to the

billionare, is prompted by the urge to achieve ananda, supreme bliss,

based on inner peace, unaffected by ups and downs. every activity,

however elementary or earth shaking, is subservient to this deal "

Baba

 

Due to our own misunderstanding, some people fear the loss of

individuality that liberation seems to imply. However, the truth is

that we are not the small body or personality with which we identify.

we are greater and more complete than the wave: we are the ocean.

 

A story is told about the king of the god's, Indra. He once had to

take birth as a pig, resulting from the curse of a great holy man.

after some time, Indra forgot that he was king of God's. He wallowed

in the mud of his yard and took on the cares of an ordinary hog. His

only concern was for bhis piglets, his sow, and his geed trough.

 

When the other God's came to wake him from his pitable state, he

cried in grief. He did not want to be removed from his sty and his

porcine family. He had forgotten his blissful divine nature. but upon

awaking from that life he realized his error. Similarly, we have

forgotten our divine nature and become attached to the petty

pleasures and griefs of our small concerns.

 

" But please do not be afraid of reaching the goal of moksha

(liberation) ! Do not conceive that stage as a calamity. it is the

birth of joy, a joy knows no decline, and the death of grief, grief

that will never more be born " Baba
