When you are very happy or excited, you question the reality of the present. Know that the future could be a dream too.But you have to remind yourself several times in the beginning: It is very interesting to see from that angle. Then we see the past, present, and future all as happening. In the same way, the more expanded attention of our consciousness starts happening within us. But the person flying above can see the entire road, where it leads, how it goes. A person driving the car can only see a few hundred meters in front of him. When you are flying, you see a car moving on the highway. A secret: live in the presentĭrop all that past luggage, the garbage that you have been carrying. If you haven’t experienced it, know that you can (experience it) at any time by meditating and going deep in silence. A new dimension starts opening within you. If you can keep this in your awareness, you will suddenly find that all that was restricting you, your identity, your body, your ideas, and your set of thoughts would simply vanish. Your mind is like a cloud, but you are like the sky. Just take this one thing: Consciousness is like space. Consciousness stays and nothing can happen to it. These practices would help you to get rid of impressions in the consciousness. You feel an absolute stillness in the mind. The mind goes completely blank after you do the Sudarshan Kriya. That happens through all these spiritual practices, meditation, the Sudarshan Kriya. The impressions that have come in the consciousness as memories can be erased. In the same way, our consciousness can never be destroyed. It is a fact, whether you believe in it or not. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. If you have studied physics, you will know the law of thermodynamics. How do we remove impressions in the consciousness? It is the most effective tool for you to be who you are. That’s where meditation will come to you as a big help. When you drop all that you are craving for and all that you are averse to, you are right there. Just drop everything, including wanting to do something. In fact, the crux of the issue is that you don’t need to do anything. You don’t have to do anything to realize that you are part of the universal consciousness. You pass through these different stations. When you are blossoming towards your higher self. Thoughts and imaginations hover around, ideas come and go, but you know that you are not that. Taking things as they are, helps you to be a witness. Neither trying to get out of it nor trying to indulge in it. The third stage is being a witness to it. The second stage is realizing that it is gripping you. Our little mind is not a different entity. First, you should know that I am not this.
How to do sudarshan kriya by ravi shankar free#
The first step towards being free from the grip of the mind is to know you’re not just the mind. You call this satori, nirvana, emptiness, moksha – all these different names are attributed to it. When all other experiences are subdued, then what remains is pure consciousness. Can you get out of the space? Impossible. You can’t get out of the consciousness like you can’t get out of space. The ocean is consciousness and the waves are the perceptual and thinking ability and all those various faculties that we experience in life. Who is experiencing? That is consciousness. That which experiences is the consciousness. That aspect of our consciousness which perceives through the five senses – smell, taste, touch, sight, hear – is what we call mind. That which looks through the eyes, that which is heard through the ears, that which smells fragrances or foul smells, that which tastes. When we perceive through our senses, we say it is the mind that perceives. The mind is a particular function of consciousness. The mind is a wave in the ocean of consciousness.
