GURU PUJA SPECIAL EDITION
Realisation—of God's consciousness in you—is to be
truly and unconditionally happy. ...You cannot be
with the Lord just by thinking you are divinely
enlightened... There is a lot of difference between
the “potential realisation” of God and “the actual
realisation” of God.” (Man's Eternal Quest)
One more aspect can be appended to the above.
This 'actual realisation' is in reality and actuality
taking a flight to the inner world and revelling in its
sky. Now, one can see an interesting contrast here
between the space flights to the outer space
and those directed towards the inner world.
Dr. Christopher Gaffney, a lecturer in sports science
at the UK's Lancaster Medical School and a
researcher on spaceflight, categorically mentions
about the “threats” one has to bear on visiting the
(outer) space. He writes– “A six-month stay in space
induces physiological changes to the human
body...” For space missions of six or more months,
he mentions that due to the difference of gravity,
considerable changes take place in that astronaut.
In his words– “In the days following arrival to space,
blood and other fluids shift towards the head
causing the "puffy face" that is often seen in
astronauts... The movement muscles are less active,
so demand for energy and oxygen are reduced; and
since demand for the supply of oxygen is reduced,
the transport vessels (the blood) are reduced...
Psychological challenges are just as profound as
physiological challenges.”
That's strange to know, and quite unpleasant as
well, isn't it? But, now see what they said who took
the flight to the inner space, on receiving initiation
into the science of Self-Realisation:
Har ras peevat sadd hee raataa;
aan rasaa khin meh leh jaataa
Har ras kay maatay mann sadaa anand;
aan rasaa meh viaapai chind
Har ras peevai almasat matvaaraa;
aan rasaa sabh hochhay ray
(Pg. 377, Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji)
On revelling in the inner world, when one relishes
the sublime essence of the Divine Lord, that
haunting void gets shooed away in an instant. The
mind “always” remains immersed in the state of
bliss and ecstasy; all worries and anxieties vanish
in a flash. The painful emptiness “ceases” to have
any effect!
Meaning by, as compared to the drawbacks of
taking the flight in the outer space, the trip to the
inner world offers bliss and only bliss, that too not
momentary, but everlastingly. Also, the more you
spend time there, the more ecstasy and liveliness
accrues.
Indeed, all these references will help the
spiritual aspirants to channelize their direction of
search for a Spiritual Guru. Here is an open invitation
for all the true spiritual seekers– If you do not
happen to find such a Guru anywhere in the world,
who can give you the deeksha of Brahm Gyan (i.e.
make you practically realise your Divine Self, right at
the time of initiation), then you are most welcome to
the portals of Divya Jyoti Jagrati Sansthan. You
won't go empty handed from here. ||JULY 2019 AKHAND GYANETERNAL WISDOM 31
Brahm Gyan is not tantra,
mantra-chanting, etc. Instead,
it is the Supreme Knowledge,through which one experiences
the divine visions within.
