What did Nisargadatta Maharaj mean when he said, "The clearer you understand that on the level of the mind you can be described in negative terms only, the quicker you will come to the end of your search and realize your limitless being."?

Silence, stillness, peace, being, clarity, freedom, bliss, awareness, the Self, the Absolute.

The limitless goes by many names.
#Spirituality
#enlightenment Image
Look close, and you’ll see they’re all negative terms.

Silence is the negation of sound.
Stillness is the negation of activity.
Peace is the negation of agitation.
Being is the negation of doing.
Clarity is the negation of confusion.
#Spirituality

Freedom is the negation of constraint.
Bliss is the negation of reactivity.
Awareness is the negation of dreaming and distraction.
The Self is the negation of otherness and alienation.
The Absolute is the negation of contingency.

The solution is to have a little infidelity toward the problem.

That’s why the Nameless only answers to negative terms.

Is it not utterly stuck in duality to designate some experience as “illusory” and other experience as “consciousness”? True Non dual view would seem to need to be present everywhere, both in I and not I.
#Spirituality Image
Non duality cannot be spoken/talked about, because the moment there are two “I’s,” or even just one “I” talking about any experience (whether labeled ‘illusory or ‘consciousness,’) or concluding what would be the ‘true non-dual view,’ “you” are right back in duality again. Image
Non-duality has no view. And is actually not ‘present’ anywhere, since its Nothing appearing as Everything.

It can't be discussed, heard, grasped, known or understood & any pointing to it or discussion about it, no matter how clear, is non-applicable to being in non-duality. Image

Why the majority of spiritual people go to gurus to get Moksha which is only a belief because the soul in this state merges in God and the person can not come back to tell his tale but only few try to meet with God which is reality & is describable?
#Spirituality Image
is good to have a sincere and enlightened Guru, one who takes us from “Gu” darkness, to "Ru" light. A Guru cannot give Moksha; a Guru can only show us the path.
#Spirituality Image
The enlightened master can only share his enlightenment, his realization, his experience and therefore, just to go after a famous or popular Guru, like a herd, is not going to get us enlightenment or Nirvana or Moksha. How will our Soul become one with God?

According to Hinduism, why did God create man?
Creation of Man i.e. Adam is a Abrahamic concept.
#Spirituality Image
Male, female, neuter - nature of all biological beings & humankind is part of biological nature. In Hinduism we never ask why did God create humans? (as if we are the sole purpose of creation as in Abrahamic religions!), the question should be : why did God create the universe? Image
Verb “create” is problematic for us as is the noun “God.”

As per Hindu logic creation means making something from raw materials. One can't create something from nothing! A logical impossibility!

So for a Supreme Person to have created a real world, there are only 2 options: Image

What was the unbelievable incident during train journey of Neem Karoli Babu?
#Spirituality Image
Once Baba was traveling by train & he didn't have a ticket, when TT came to check the ticket & asked Baba to show the ticket.

He smiled & said that I don't have a ticket, then TT drops Baba off the train. Baba gets off the train & sits on a pillar on platform.
#Spirituality Image
After that the train is flagged to run, but the train does not proceed, then retry is made.

And some repairs are also done in its engine, even then the train does not move forward, this process has been going on for a long time.

Is effort required for enlightenment?

Extraordinary effort is absolutely required for Spiritual self realisation.
#Spirituality
#Enlightenment Image
Please do not fall for fancy non-dualist theories that you need to do nothing. Please do not flatter yourselves. You will reach nowhere except that you will be imagining yourself to be enlightened.
#Spirituality
#Enlightenment Image
And when reality strikes which will, you would have done lots of psychological damage to yourselves.

Please Beware!!!!

You must put effort in negating all that which is making your self-reflection, vichara & dhyana difficult.

As far as Yantras are concerned, myths abound. Time to bust them, offer clarity.
#Vedicastrology
#astrology Image
Myth 1: Yantras can solve any problem
Fact: Yantras can help solve any issue when rightly used with a mantra. Yantra isnt' the only solution or remedy for your specific situation, there are other remedies available based on your kundali.
#Vedicastrology
#astrology Image
However, many people feel lazy to do remedies, or don't have time for it, or are not serious about following remedies, for them the easier way is yantra.
