Om! Do you know this? by Atman Nityananda

Do you know this?

Do you know that happiness does not depend on external objects, conditions and situations?
Do you know that happiness does not depend on sensory experiences and pleasures that happiness has nothing to do with pleasures, sensory experiences and success?
Do you know that happiness always comes from within?
Do you know that happiness is a vibrational state of mind, heart and consciousness?
Do you know that we experience happiness when our mind assumes its sattvic state and we are in contact with our Soul (consciously or unconsciously).

So, if we want to voluntarily experience everlasting happiness (bliss) then we have to cleanse our mind, heart and energy field of all low vibrational conditioning (rajasic and tamasic tendencies and energies)), convert it completely into sattva and consciously connect and establish ourselves in our Soul (silent present of Consciousness, Atman)


“Happiness is experienced when the mind vibrates in sattva and we are in touch with our Soul”

 Peace, Love, Harmony

Om! The existential void by Atman Nityananda

The existential void
by Atman Nityananda 

Our existential void is due to ignorance of our divine nature and the development of the ego in our psyche, which involves identification with the body, mind and objects, people and situations.

If we ignore our true Self (Consciousness, Being), if we do not live in conscious contact with our divine essence, we cannot live with peace, fullness and deep contentment. We will always have a sense of lack, of dissatisfaction, an existential void that we will try in vain to fill with sensory experiences and illusory pleasures.

If our actions, deeds, thoughts and emotions do not vibrate in harmony with our Soul, we will feel that something is missing, we will experience a sense of emptiness and dissatisfaction.

Synopsis

The existential void is not filled with objects, pleasures, sensory experiences and worldly successes, but only with the conscious connection with our source, our divine nature (Consciousness, Self, Atman).

The existential void can only be filled by conscious connection with our source, our divine nature (Consciousness, Self, Atman).

🌺 Peace, Love, Harmony

Om! Spiritual practice and meditation by Atman Nityananda

Spiritual practice and meditation
by Atman Nityananda 

All spiritual practices (and the spiritual life in general) are intended to prepare our minds for deep and unceasing meditation.

Deep meditation is only possible for a pure sattvic mind. A pure-sattvic mind, free from rajas and tamas qualities (gunas), pride, desire and lust (for pleasure, power, acquisition, fame and recognition), anger, fear, greed, attachments and other selfish tendencies, is luminous, clear, sharp, serene, steady detached and focused.

The above qualities enable the mind to meditate deeply and realize its identity with its source, the divine Consciousness, (the silent living presence within us).

So the whole spiritual process is a systematic and continuous effort to overcome, one by one, all the obstacles (which are egoic tendencies, and the gunas of rajas and tamas) that prevent us from meditating and realizing that we are the silent living presence that is pure, eternal and infinite Consciousness, and to establish ourselves in it.

Practice meditation daily. Overcome obstacles one by one and deepen more and more into meditation.

Meditation is the steady fixation and absorption of mind and attention on our essence the deepest part of our being, the eternally present silent living presence within us.

One way to meditate is to repeat and feel the following phrases with awareness of the inner silence (silent living presence). It is important to feel what we are saying and not to mechanically repeat the phrases. Feel, sense that you are, that you exist as you repeat the phrases and the Om.

Ooommm…, Ooommm…, Ooommm…, Ooommm…
I am pure Consciousness, always free and blissful, Ooommm…
I am the silent void, full, luminous and peaceful, Ooommm…
I am the deep silence, always peaceful, complete and blissful, Ooommm…
I am the deep silence, full of peace, love and light, Ooommm…
I am eternal peace, love and bliss, Ooommm…
I am Atman, infinite and eternal Consciousness, Ooommm…
I am Atman, the immortal, indestructible Consciousness, Ooommm…
Ooommm… Atman, Ooommm… Atman, Ooommm… Atman
Ooommm… peace, Ooommm… light, Ooommm… Love,
Ooommm…, Ooommm…, Ooommm…, Ooommm…

We repeat these phrases for several minutes according to our ability.

You can choose only a few of these truth-phrases if you wish, the ones that are most vibrant and closest to your experience.

As we calmly repeat these phrases, (we do so with interest and without trying to concentrate), our mind and attention will become more and more focused on them, and gradually our mind will become more and more calm, clear and steady, At the same time, the background of the mind, the silent living presence (the inner silence) will become more and more apparent.

When the mind becomes calm and steady and the inner silence becomes intensely manifest we abandon repetition of the above phrase-truths and all mental activity and remain aware of the inner silence, deepening into it.
