To look for ultimate truth, or
reality, or absolute knowledge, the body would need immense amount of energy.
Because the normal levels of energy would be sufficient to sustain the normal,
collective perception that conditions our mind to settle for base-level
actualization of the infinite potential.
It’s mankind’s destiny to go for
truth, now or later, in this journey or the ones to come. It’s a natural
evolutionary flow, it cannot be avoided. In an unawakened state this energy
will go randomly, in dissipative ways, creating sweet-sour mischief, this
worldliness. But it’s merely a matter of time—the time spanning various
lifetimes—before it stabilizes, develops patterns of self-discipline to touch a
peak in that very individual consciousness. It enables the carrier body to look
for what lies beyond the simple perception-based reality. And the still
remaining stumbling blocks in body, mind and emotions have to fall along;
otherwise one learns the things in a tough task-masterly way.
This heightened energy finds different
expressions like bhakti (devotion). Gyan (knowledge), karma (action), art and
still much more that we don’t have a clue as of now.
The evolution in consciousness will
never hit a dead end. It’s a cosmic soup of infinite potential. What you think,
feel, imagine or act sets a new point of reality. And it goes on at every point
of existence.
Faith-based expression of heightened
energies is a very sublime form of expression. This dimension unfolds in the
corridors of bhaav. It’s very near the
soul, this channel. It’s warmly loving and draws warmth from the soul itself,
the high point of joyous realization in the individual consciousness. It’s so
easy to jump into the river of ‘relative bliss’ from this point because it’s
very near to the source profound bliss. But before that faith has to shine
bright in its purity and there will be tests through situations and
circumstances, just like there will be in other paths.
In its karma expression, this
energetic blizzard will sire a karma yogi in the carrier body. The carrier body
will express its energetic storms in setting up disciplined, righteous
energetic patterns (dharma) in the society around, like Rama and Krishna did.
In its gyan expression, the individual
consciousness in its carrier body will try to know more and more, observe
keenly, understand, draw logical conclusion in an effort to make a meaning of
this mystery and chaos. It’s an effort to cut the mind with its own tools,
using the basic faculties of the mind to undo its own framework. To allow mind
to run as much as possible in its pursuit of knowledge, so that finally it
stands helplessly, falls and sees a better expression across the cobwebs of its
constructs.
There is another dimension of the
expression of this energetic storm, a replica of the massive stars bursting
somewhere in the cosmos. It’s kindalini awakening. It’s the most tangible of
all the expressions. It’s a raw, naked force. It stands in front of you,
holding you in its grip with a direct maneuver. It doesn’t take any diplomatic
cover. It stares in your face. It shakes you. It’s nearest to the gross body in
its expression. It’s so near to the base level of ego identification that you
clearly feel its storm in the body as it breaks the obstructions in its path. I
would say it’s a mixture of all the three above mentioned expressions. You are
jolted off your safe zone at all levels of your existence. To make a meaning of
all these psychic reshaping, the reformulation of the nervous system, the remodeling
of the perception channel—which is usually tough with many instances of things
going very wrong—the carrier body takes help of bhakti, gyan and karma (randomly,
in various orders) as per the shifting surges of this psychic force in the
system.
Whichever way it happens in an
individual carrier body, I don’t think there is a final arriving. It’s an
infinite potential. The so-called ‘final arriving’ in itself a self-set
benchmark by the evolved consciousness who rose high, perceived far more than
normal people and agreed to a point. It’s just like space travel. You keep
travelling and never reach any edge and then accept a conceptually defined
reality: Ok, let’s agree to set up this point as the boundary of the space.
At
every point, in every individual consciousness and its carrier body, there is the
seed of infinite expansion and potential and maybe that draws these energetic
storms. And however far one goes with howsoever heightened energy, the mystery
always remains the same. It all remains to be known after coming to know
everything. There is always more to be realized after realizing everything that
is to realize. A bit puzzling though, right? But we have to accept it
logically, as long as we believe in the concept of infinity.
