"I AM" IS A HOMOGENEOUS CONCEPT. FROM WHICH ONLY, OTHER CONCEPTS LIKE "I AM THE INDIVIDUAL" WITH BODY-MIND-INTELLECT", " AND EGO WITH THE FEELING OF INDIVIDUALITY OF DOER SHIP, ENJOYER-SHIP AND ATTACHMENT TOWARDS BODY, ARISE.
WHILE "I AM" IS "HAPPINESS", THE OFF-SHOOTS - INDIVIDUAL AND INDIVIDUALITY BRING IN DUAL AND SPLIT CONCEPTS, RESULTING IN ATTRACTION/REPULSION, LIKES/DISLIKES , PLEASURE/PAIN .

REMEMBER, WE ARE IN THE GIANT WHEEL OF KALAM (-KALA-CHAKRAM); WE ARE COVERED BY THE SMOKE OF GUNAM AND KARMAM. MAY DEVI ABSORBS THE SMOKE AND BLESS US WITH HAPPINESS, WHICH IS THE ULTIMATE IN THE LIFE-LIVING CYCLE.
DEVI IS THE LOVING MOTHER EVER KEEPING A WATCH ON KALAM-KARMAM-GUNAM - NAUGHTY CHILDREN - INDULGING IN THEIR PLAY AND FORGETTING FOR THE TIME BEING, THE EVER WATCHING PRESENCE OF THE KIND MOTHER.

YOUR SPIRITUAL TRAVEL SHOULD BE FROM 'GROSS TO SUBTLE'. FROM 'LIVING TO LIFE', FROM 'MENTAL AGITATIONS TO STILLNESS'
THERE IS NOTHING TO BE DONE OUTSIDE. REALIZE, WITHIN, THE SOURCE OF "I AM".
WHAT ALL WE SEE AND DO OUTSID, ARE ONLY REFLECTIONS/DEFLECTIONS OF "I AM". IGNORE THEM , DIVE WITHIN "I AM", AND REALIZE THE SOURCE - "I-CONSCIOUSNESS".
DIVINE GRACE IS INDEFINABLE. IT WORKS IN EACH ONE OF US .EVEN WHILE WE DISCHARGE OUR PRARABDHA VASANAS, THE DIVINE GRACE CO-FUNCTIONS WITH IT SILENTLY.

UNDERSTANDING OUR HELPLESSNESS TO UNDERSTAND THE REALITY, IS THE FIRST LESSON OF SPIRITUALITY.
SPIRITUALITY AND PERSONALITY DO NOT GO TOGETHER BY THEMSELVES WITHOUT A CONNECTING FACTOR. PERSONALITY IS JEEVA BHAVAM, AND SPIRITUALITY IS ATMA-BHAVAM. (I AM AN INDIVIDUAL AND I AM RESPECTIVELY.THE CONNECTING FACTOR IS BHODAM - CONSCIOUSNESS.

"I AM" IS OTHERWISE CALLED "ATMA" THE FIRST SPROUT OF "I-CONSCIOUSNESS". 'I AM' IS WITNESSING ITS OWN REFLECTION - JEEVA AND THE DEPENDENT B.M.I (BODY-MIND-INTELLECT) EQUIPMENT IN EACH INDIVIDUAL.
"I-CONSCIOUSNESS IS NEITHER A WITNESS NOR WITNESSED. THIS IS THE SUBSTRATUM ON WHICH "I AM" (SENSE OF EXISTENCE) IS PROJECTED
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A SANYASY AND AN ORDIARY MAN IS THAT THE FORMER HAS NO KARTHRITWA BHAVAM, NO BHOKTRUTWA BHAVAM AND NO DEHABHIMANAM, WHILE THE LATTER POSSESSES ALL THE THREE.
'DOING' IS NOT THE 'REALITY'; "BEING" IS THE "REALITY". WE MAY TERM THE ' DOING' AS "IGNORANCE", WHEREAS BEING IS "KNOWLEDGE". ONE IS AKSHARA AND THE OTHER IS KSHARA.
KALAM, KARMAM AND GUNAM DO NOT BELONG TO 'I CONSCIOUSNESS, (EXISTENCE) , NOR DO THEY BELONG TO "I AM - THE SENSE OF EXISTENCE. THEY ARE THE REFLECTIONS OF MIND WHICH IN TURN IS THE VIBRATION IN "I AM"- SENSE OF EXISTENCE.
THERE IS NEITHER 'TIME' NOR 'SPACE' IN "PRESENCE"; SIMILARLY, NO NAME AND FORM AND NO CAUSE AND EFFECT. ALL THESE PAIRS ARE THE PRODUCTS OF MIND - A RELECTION IN THE 'SENSE OF PRESENCE' ("I AM" ).
"I AM" CAN AT BEST BE UNDERSTOOD AS 'CONSCIOUS RELATIVITY' .
THE URGE IN EACH ONE OF US - WHETHER IT IS EXPLICIT OR IMPLICIT - TO FIND OUT THE SOURCE, IS SIMILAR TO THE URGE SEEN IN BIRDS TO RETURN TO THEIR NEST, AND THE URGE OF THE RIVER TO JOIN THE OCEAN .
TRUST ENCOMPASSES BOTH FAITH AND BELIEF.
DEHA BHODAM SHOULD BE REPLACED BY ATMA BHODAM.

MAN
, APART FROM HIS TRUE NATURE , HAS AN ADDED TENDENCY OF DEVAS AND
ASURAS. AS THE PURANAS DEPICT, THERE WAS A HEAVENLY COMMAND WHICH
REPEATED "DA" THRICE, INTERPRETED AS DAMYATA (SELF CONTROL), DATTA
(SACRIFICING SPIRIT) AND DAYA (LOVE AND COMPASSION). BY OBEYING THE
COMMAND, MAN OUTLIVES THE LEVITY OF DEVAS AND CRUELTY OF ASURAS AND
BECOMES PERFECT IN HIS OWN NATURE, LIVING A LIFE OF SACRIFICE , AND
EXPERIENCING HAPPINESS .
ONLY IN DUAL CONCEPTS , ALL KINDS OF GOOD AND BAD, LIKES AND DISLIKES, PLEASURE AND PAIN, ATTRACTION AND REPULSION AND WHAT NOT - ALL IN CONFLICTING NATURE , APPEAR AND DISAPPEAR. THE TOTAL SUM UP OF ALL THESE ACTIVITIES TAKE PLACE IN THE MIND OFTHE INDIVIDUAL.
WE ARE NOT CONSCIOUS OF OUR BODY AND MIND IN THE DEEP SLEEP. WE ARE PARTLY CONSCIOUS OF THE BODY AND MIND, IN DREAM. ONLY IN THE WAKING STAGE, OUR MIND, AS WELL AS, BODY EXPRESS IN FULL. BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT THE STAGES ARE REPEATED, WE CAN LOGICALLY CONCLUDE , THAT THERE SHOULD BE A CHANGELESS SUBSTRATUM, ON WHICH ONLY CHANGES COULD BE REPEATED.
CONSTANT REMEMBRANCE OF "I AM" IS KNOWN BY THE TERM "AHAMGRAHA UPASANA"- MEDITATION ON "I AM" - THE SENSE OF EXISTENCE- COVERING THE ENTIRE COSMOS, AND IDENTIFYING THE SAME WITH "I-CONSCIOUSNESS". (ANALOGY: GENTLE VIBRATION OF WAVES ON THE OCEAN OF "I - CONSCIOUSNESS.
WISDOM KNOWLEDGE, EXPRESSING HUMILITY AND EXPERIENCING HAPPINESS, SUBMITS ITSELF TO "CONSCIOUSNESS".
THE MIND BRINGS OUT CONCEPTS AND PLAYS/STRUGGLES WITH THEM. AT ONE STAGE, MIND GETS DISSATISFIED OVER ITS OWN CREATION, AND STARTS ENQUIRING A CONCEPT-FREE STAGE
CONCEPTS ARE THE GREATEST BONDAGE AND ABSENCE OF CONCEPTS IS THE STATE OF FREEDOM. (SANKALPANAM PARO BANDAH; TATABHAVO VIMUKTHA
DEVOID OF THE FEELING OF DOER, ENJOYER, AND ATTACHMENT WITH THE BODY, AN 'INDIVIDUAL' RAISES TO THE STATE OF "I AM" (SENSE OF EXISTENCE). WE CAN PRACTICALLY SEE THIS WITH INFANTS AS WELL AS WITH WISE PERSONS.
RESTRICT THE INSTINCTS OF SEX, HUNGER, LOOSE TALK , AND EMOTIONAL ATTACHMENT TOWARDS RELATIONS/FRIENDS. DEVELOP POSITIVE QUALITIES OF EQUANIMITY, SACRIFICE AND PREMAM. AVOID EGO SENSE OF DOER SHIP , ENJOYER SHIP ,POSSESSOR SHIP AND OVER-CARING TO ONE'S OWN BODY.
