THE HIDDEN SECRETS OF THE UNIVERSE, LOVE & ITS DWELLERS
THE ROUGH & TOUGH ROAD TO REALITY
The cosmic Drama is fixed and repeats itself every 5000 years. Millions of yogis, pundits, saints, mystics, sadhus, laymen have tried very very hard to know HIM but have not only failed but missed the mark by leaps & bounds. The chief reasons for their not succeeding in this venture are : Wrong timing & Ignorance about HIS whereabouts. We have been searching for HIM for 4900 years when HE is away on a Sabbatical. HE comes to us & makes HIMSELF available only during the Confluence Age for a short period of 100 years. It is only now, that we can know HIM, meet HIM, & be with HIM. HE introduces HIMSELF to us, personally. The second most important aspect is that HE finds us & not the other way around. This Schooling / Meeting is by Invitation only. HE zeros in on the chosen ones, adopts them, educates them & makes them worthy of HIS Inheritance. Since the road is extremely rough & tough only a select few make it to HIS inner circle / kingdom while the rest are left to their own fates to be mere subjects.
WHO I REALLY AM ? SOUL, THE IN-DWELLER
Your body is a vehicle and soul is the driver of this vehicle. Just as you are the driver of your Mercedes, so is the soul of this human vehicle. You sit the automobile and take control of it, use it to move from point A to point B. Sometimes you are careless & get involved in a head on collision with another Mercedes. In this almost fatal accident, the air bags save you, but the car is dead or total. Now the Insurance company bails you out to buy a new Mercedes. On the same lines when the body becomes old & diseased it dies and it’s occupant or the In-dweller the soul does not die. It is bailed out by the Divine, from the worn out body & assigned to a brand new baby body, therefore eternal.
COMPONENTS OF A SOUL
A soul is made of three entities, the INTELLECT, which discerns & decides, the MIND which processes thoughts & feelings, and finally the SANSKARS / SEEDS which are the source of all thoughts. For better understanding we will adopt the gardening analogy. Every soul has seven pure seeds to begin with. They are : Power, Purity, Peace, Love, Bliss, Knowledge, Truth. As a child we operate through these seeds which helps us to enjoy life without any inhibitions and love all equally. Over time we acquire exactly the opposite kind of seeds from our parents, teachers, relatives, friends, & society. Then we acquire next stage of harmful seeds of Vices like Anger, Lust, Greed, jealousy, Ego. Mind is like the fertile soil where seeds grow & flower up. It has no mind of its own & does not act on its own ever. Intellect is the chief Gardner who discerns & decides, what crop to grow and what not to, when to harvest & how much to water the plants. How ever he too has limitations because if all he has in stock is bad, rotten seeds to work with, then it is not in his hands to do otherwise. The limited edition of original seeds are locked up in the warehouse & the poor Gardner is given all the dirty rotten acquired seeds picked up freely from the environment, to work with.
AS YOU SOW SO SHALL YOU REAP.
The meaning of this childhood saying is clearly understood in this context. But now it is too late. The body is fragile & the mind has slowed down with Alzheimer. The awareness of this valuable knowledge is enough to start the process of purification & elevation which are the basic pillars of Realization.
THE AURAS OF MEMORY BANK (chitta)
All day long we are thinking, imagining, and worrying, fearing, going into past, coming back to present and even venturing into future, too. We have to store up ninety years of stupid past experiences; hence we need lots of space, lots of software which is definitely located outside our body. The SEVEN AURAS around our physical body hold all this information as distinct energy packets like the folders & files on our computers/laptops.
MIND (manas) - FACTORY WITH NO MOVING PARTS
Mind is soil of your thought factory. You generate, manufacture millions of thoughts everyday like fast growing dandelions, along side the slow growing grass in your lawn. It never stops functioning till the last breadth is out. You manufacture both sides of the coin here: good thoughts and bad thoughts, happy pictures, and gloomy pictures, eventually successes and failures. When you think and believe in self, progress and moving mountains you get them. When you disbelief in yourself, doubting, fearing, fumbling, you go down. By switching on positive channel, looking important, having the right attitude takes you first class. While switching on negative channel, listening to bad news, looking inadequate and defeated takes you second class. Our beliefs about ourselves and the world form the framework of our REALITY. Our world behaves as much as we expect it to or as we all believe it will. If you think you can or can not, in either case you are right.
INTELLECT (buddhi)- THE SUPERVISOR & DECISION MAKER
This faculty of the soul can make or break you. Dull or stone intellect coupled with unawareness is the core of a loser, a victim, a failure. On the other hand Sharp or Divine intellect coupled with total awareness becomes the core of winner, happy soul, successful body. It helps you to discern, discriminate, & decide what actions to materialize, which further reinforce the seeds, that started the process in the first place. Repeated actions keeps the seeds active & easily accessible.
COGNITIVE & ACTIVE SENSES
There are five entrance doors through which Information is imported inside the costume. There are additionally five exit doors through which the costume expels outwards. Then there is a master, the In-dweller who operates these doors. Who I really AM is independent of my actions & senses. Senses are not reliable for experiencing Absolute Truth, Reality or the Self the Soul. Like the bees follow the Queen Bee, so will the senses follow the Mind. With-drawl of the senses is like taking your hand out of a glove. The hands have the ability to let go of the glove.
PURPOSE OF THE SOUL - PROGRESSION OF CONSCIOUSNESS
The sole purpose of the soul is to elevate itself during it’s short stay in this human body. It is possible to move from the lower Chakras to higher energy centers & finally to the Crown Charkra. The seven Chakras are intimately related to the seven Auras in our Invisible bodies.

HOW THE INDWELLER OPERATES THROUGH THE COSTUME
Karmendriyas : There are five active senses. They act as Exit doors for the body to expel outwards, through, Elimination, Procreation, Moving, Grasping, & Speaking.
Jnanendriyas : There are five Cognitive senses. They act as Entrance doors for the body to import inwards, through, Smell, taste, sight, Touch, & Hear.
Chakras : There are five corresponding energy Vortexes for the above senses, Root, Hara, Navel, Heart, & Throat. Inter play is a must between the two senses & the chakras.
ACTIVE SENSES & CORRESPONDING CHAKRAS : Forming words, speaking uttering them. Being quiet & silent is the cessation of forming words through the organ of MOUTH, which is controlled by 5th chakra. The ability to hear is also associated with this chakra. In a conversation / dialogue you will be speaking and listening at the same time. The KNOWING happens here which culminates into serenity & peace.
Grasping or holding, writing or drinking is the function of the organ of the HANDS. Letting go is the cessation of holding or grasping by the hands which is controlled by 4th chakra. The ability to touch & feel through the skin is additionally associated with this chakra. Hands do all the evil actions & cooperate plus derive pleasure too when desired.
Walking or moving is the function of the organ of FEET. Sitting still is the cessation of moving by the feet which is controlled by 3rd chakra. The ability of sight sense & seeing objects is linked to this chakra too. When you are in motion, then surely you will need the ability to see where you are proceeding & when to stop before a disaster happens.
Reproduction organs, procreation is the function of the organ of the GENITALS which is controlled by 2nd chakra. The sense of taste is influenced by this chakra too.
Elimination of bowels & bladder is the function of the organ of the ANUS which is controlled by 1st chakra. The sense of smell is coordinated by this chakra also.
The mind, operating from the 6th chakra that is experienced in the space between the eyebrows, is the coordinating center for the lower five chakras. From this 6th chakra, the mind is the recipient of the information imported through the five doors of jnanendriyas, and their physical counterparts. From this 6th chakra, the mind is also the giver of the instructions through the five doors of karmendriyas, and their physical counterparts.
Consciousness itself is operating from the 7th chakra, providing the fuel or energy for the mind to operate, and in turn illuminating the other five chakras, through it's storage battery at the base of the subtle spine. As depicted above in the chart, we must keep moving up & up to the higher energy centers to achieve the realization that was meant for all souls. From Separateness to Formlessness. This is our Spiritual nett worth which gives us the unlimited currency of Contentment, Happiness, & Peace. When we fail to move forward or get arrested at any one spot/energy center then we suffocate with self created sorrow, misery, disease & ill health. The choice is always ours. Witnessing the ten senses helps coordinate the four aspects of the Soul combo. Mindfulness of the ten senses is preparation for deep meditation.
TOTAL WITH DRAWL NINE STEP PROCESS
The cessation of the active senses is an indicator to move inwards for deeper meditation experiences. Stillness, letting go, Silence. However meditation is merely a fraction of the total with drawl process. Neutral witnessing of our inner process leads to Non-attachment which gives us total freedom leading to spirit of Wisdom. It is also a tool for coordinating the Four functions of the Soul-Mind-Sanskars-Intellect combo.
STAGES OF WITHDRAWAL - TURNING INWARDS TO PURE FORM
It is analogous to taking the hand out of a glove.
1} RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE WORLD
These are the basic morals that every person must imbibe in their lives. Non Violence, Truthfulness, Celibacy, Non Covetous, Non greed, to elevate itself.
2} SELF REGULATORY BEHAVIOR / LIFE STYLE
These aspects of self invoke creativity & self confidence. Self purification & cleanliness, Self discipline, Self surrender, Self study, & Contentment. At the same time Self awareness does not depend upon senses.
3} SITTING POSTURE
4} BREATH CONTROL & PRANA - Start with pranic breathing & gradually move into normal breathing.
5} WITHDRAWAL OF FIVE KARMENDRIYAS (ACTIVE SENSES) :
Elimination, Procreation, Moving, Grasping, & Speaking.
6} WITHDRAWAL OF FIVE JNANENDRIYAS (COGNITIVE SENSES): Smell, taste, sight, Touch, & Hear. There can be unwillingness to open up to this with-drawl because of acute clinging / attachment to senses. On the other hand this process facilitates Non- attachment.
7} CONCENTRATION
8} MEDITATION - is deeper than closing your eyes & sitting still. Meditation is also done with eyes open. This way you learn to be mindful all day long, 24/7.
9} DEEP ABSORPTION
These steps will take you to the depths beneath the Mind through the interior door way to dwell in the Knowing, that is beyond, to realization of the Formless, the center of Consciousness, the Self, Atma, which is Absolute Reality.
