POVERTY, ILLNESS, POLLUTION, HUNGER, WARFARE, BORDERS, DISCRIMINATION, STRESS, FINANCIAL PROBLEMS, PAIN AND SUFFERING ARE ALL MAN MADE AND ALL SYMPTOMS OF MANKIND FAILING TO HAVE SELF REALIZATION.
SELF REALIZATION IS THE SAME AS KNOWING THYSELF.
WHEN I WAS LITTLE I REMEMBER PLAYING THIS GAME. I WOULD SAY TO MYSELF, YOU ARE NOT YOUR NAME, NOR YOUR BODY, NOR ALL THE THINGS YOU OWN, NOR WHAT YOU WEAR, NOR WHAT YOU DO, NOR WHAT YOU THINK. YOU ARE NOT WHAT OTHERS THINK NOR ANY TITLES GIVEN TO YOU, ANYTHING I COULD THINK OF I WOULD SAY, YOU ARE NOT THAT. THEN I WOULD ASK MYSELF, IF I AM NOT ANY OF THESE THINGS THEN WHO AM I AND I WOULD CONSIDER IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN UNTIL I WOULD GET THIS MAGICAL FEELING OF WONDER ABOUT WHO AM I AND THEN I WOULD FEEL CONNECTED TO EVERYBODY REALIZING THAT I NOR ANYBODY WAS WHO THEY APPEARED OR THOUGHT. I CONTEMPLATED THAT EVERYTHING WAS FROM ONE SOURCE CREATED BY GOD AND I LIKED THE FEELING IT GAVE ME. IT PUT ME ON A QUEST IN LIFE TO UNDERSTAND IT MORE AND TO REALIZE WHO I WAS AND WHAT WAS MY PURPOSE IN LIFE. I BEGAN TO SEARCH AND DISCOVER MANY ANSWERS COMING TO ME FROM UNEXPECTED PLACES EVERYDAY.
A HAIRDRESSER I WENT TO ONE DAY LOANED ME A BOOK CALLED “THE PATH OF THE MASTERS”. IT SPOKE ABOUT ALL THE LIVING MASTERS THROUGHOUT HISTORY AND THEIR TEACHINGS WHICH ALL SPOKE ABOUT THE SAME DIVINE EXPERIENCE. IT WAS A HUGE BOOK WHICH I ONLY FLIPPED THROUGH HERE AND THERE BECAUSE ANYTHING I READ I COULD CONTEMPLATE ON FOR LIFE, I REMEMBER LOOKING IN THE LAST CHAPTER WHICH SAID THAT ONE MUST FIND THE LIVING MASTER OF THEIR TIME SO I STARTED TO SEARCH ON MY OWN SILENT JOURNEY FOR GOD IN ANYONE AND EVERYTHING I ENCOUNTERED. I SEARCHED AND SEARCHED FOR SOMEONE WHO COULD SHOW ME THE LIVING EXPERIENCE OF SELF REALIZATION IN MORE THAN JUST WORDS OR POINTING TO GOD, A WAY TO HAVE THAT MAGICAL FEELING I SOMETIMES FELT, ALL THE TIME. ONE DAY I FINALLY FOUND SOMEONE SPEAKING ABOUT WHAT I HAD BEEN PERSONALLY SEARCHING FOR AND ASWERING ALL MY QUESTIONS. I LEARNED HOW TO BEGIN THE JOURNEY INWARD AND WITH DEEP GRATITUDE I AM STILL DISCOVERING AND EXPERIENCING SO MUCH BEAUTY IN MY LIFE TODAY. I AM ETERNALLY GRATEFUL TO MY TEACHER, WHO IS STILL LIVING TODAY. HIS NAME IS PREM RAWAT AND HIS DISCOURSES CAN BE WATCHED ON TIMELESSTODAY.TV
THERE ARE MANY UPS AND DOWNS IN LIFE BUT THE ONLY REAL FAILURE IS THE FAILURE TO HAVE SELF REALIZATION. FAILURE TO LIVE IN THE EXPERIENCE OF YOUR OWN DIVINE ESSENCE AND TO REALIZE THE DIVINITY OF ALL LIFE IS THE ONLY FAILURE IN LIFE BECAUSE IT IS TO FAIL TO REALIZE THE VERY MEANING OF LIFE ITSELF. – A SMITH
