State of Being

State of Being

When we walk the spiritual path, we frequently hear the phrase "State of Being." But what does it actually mean? Simply put, your State of Being is whatever is currently occupying, coloring, or filling your consciousness.

We spend so much of our lives trying to manipulate the physical world, believing that the world itself holds power over us. But a profound shift occurs when we realize a simple, undeniable truth: there is absolutely no inherent power in the physical world. The physical world is merely a mirror. It is just reflecting my current state of being. All true power resides entirely with my consciousness.

Consider how this mirror reflects the different states we hold within us:

The Reflection of Fear

If there is a fear resting in my consciousness, the consequences of having that fear—like others exploiting or threatening me—will inevitably reflect in the physical world. The world is simply showing me the shape of the fear I am holding. It is entirely up to me whether I choose to continue that experience, or if I choose to drop that fear from my consciousness.

The Reflection of Supremacy

This same law applies to our collective beliefs. If there is a thought in my consciousness that my religion is great and everyone should give up other religions and follow mine, those consequences appear in the physical world as conflicts, divisions, and wars.

Similarly, if I entertain the thought that my country should be the supreme power in the world, the relevant consequences—political tension and power struggles—appear in the physical world. By looking at all this, one thing is confirmed: the chaos outside is nothing but the shadow of the ideas held inside.

These consequences guide us in choosing ideas to be entertained.

The Reflection of Purity

But what happens when we clear the mirror? If my consciousness is pure, free from all these heavy, separate thoughts and personal agendas, the consequence of that purity effortlessly reflects in the physical world. The result is profound peace and calm. If I like that peaceful reflection, my only job is to continue dwelling in that pure state of being.

The Reflection of the Divine

This mirroring effect applies to everything, even our highest spiritual concepts. If I hold the idea in my consciousness that God is all-pervading, all-knowing, going before me to straighten the crooked paths, and showering immense love upon the world, my physical experience will naturally reflect this beautiful harmony.

But here is the deepest truth: this reflection does not mean that God is that specific idea. It simply proves the exact same law—the physical world is reflecting my current state of being. I have held an expansive, loving idea of God, and the world has mirrored it back to me.

The Ultimate Truth of Consciousness

By observing all of this, we uncover the greatest secret of human experience: ideas just give you a different experience. They are neither inherently right nor wrong. They are simply passing by.

A thought of fear, a thought of national supremacy, or even a comforting thought about God—they are all just ideas floating through the sky of awareness. If I entertain an idea, I am holding it in my consciousness. In other words, I am giving my power to that passing thought, and it hangs with me for as long as I hold it.

The moment I recognize this, I am completely free. I realize that the only absolute truth is our consciousness itself—the silent, formless feeling of "I". Everything else, from the chaos of the world to the very concepts we hold about the Divine, is simply a reflection of the ideas we are currently entertaining.

Solution to all problems

“The solution to conflict lies not within the problem, but in shifting our focus to something that genuinely interests us.” Most conflicts are subjective, making it difficult to provide a generic solution. This is especially true in relationships, where arguments become complicated as each person speaks from their own perspective, trying to persuade the other. Finding a complete solution while being immersed in the problem is nearly impossible. The solution lies outside of the problem, not within it. Insisting on finding a solution while still in the midst of the problem only serves to drag you deeper into it, much like quicksand (oobi in telugu). The solution lies not in finding solid ground within the quicksand, but in clutching onto something stable outside, using it to pull yourself out. This outside handle, in the realm of conflicts, is action. Allocate a few hours or even days, creating a timeline within which to tackle the problems head-on. Take any and all actions within your p...

Love

  Part 1 Initial thoughts When you feel love, you feel it towards all. If you feel love towards some, but not towards everyone, then it cannot be classified as love. Love can only be felt once you have discovered your true essence beyond the physical form. Love cannot exist until that moment arrives. Just as Parvathi and Shiva are inseparable, Lakshmi and Vishnu cannot be separated, and water cannot be separated from wetness, light is inseparable from the Sun, love cannot be separated from you when you are conscious of yourself. The moment you discover your true self beyond the body is the moment you start loving everything. Part 2 Please understand that core conept & inference here I am that I am. I am the Self, only Self. Just like I appear as many characters in my dream, I appear as many in this world. I subject myself to various limitations in order to manifest in different forms, and each form offers its own distinct experience. When I incarnate as a human, I experience a...

If God exists, why do bad things still occur?

 The universe challenges us to change, so we may evolve from our narrow perspectives and embrace the empathy that unites us all. After watching the movie “Maidan,” I noticed that Gajraj Rao’s character portrayed an influential person who could make or break parties, institutions, and more. He always fought for what he believed should be the case and had the power to manipulate and persuade others. It made me wonder how much effort the universe(God), would have to put into changing someone like him. To transform such individuals, the universe would need to create many situations that challenge their narrow-mindedness and awaken their consciousness. In the content of movie, It introduced a coach who had experienced countless struggles but remained dedicated to the team. This coach’s unwavering determination, even in the face of death, touched the heart of Gajraj Rao’s character, ultimately transforming him into a more compassionate human being. Until that point, Gajraj Rao’s characte...
