Awareness


Jesus Meditating

Awareness is a higher stage of knowledge in its evolutionary progress towards wisdom. It is the bridge for a man to cross the river of illusion. There are tow schools of thought over the meaning of awareness. One is materialistic awareness and other is esoteric awareness. When one cooks food or does some work carefully,. there is awareness which is called materilistic awareness. It is only sensual factulty. Even though the knowledge in such an activity is alert enough, it such an activity is alert enough, it function in a self forgotten state. Here the soul transforms itself into the shape, action and results of the object with which it gets into contract. This state is defined in Vedanta teachings as Maya. Here I mean the spiritual awakening as esoteric awareness. It is a state of Self Consciousness.

VALUABLE GAIN

      Receptivity is the stat where our mind is open to receive the secrets of Nature. The secrets are being continuously revealed to us by Nature through incidents, objects, animals and persons. Both the animals and the inanimate are constantly imparting lessons to us. When we are receptive, we become alert to these secrets and lessons-that is all. "Here is someone, something, coming my way. What am i going to learn from this? What secret of Nature would be unfolded to me through this medium?" In such a receptive frame of mind, more and more information comes to you to develop your konwledge and make your life successful and purposeful.
      Receptivity is an early and tangible gain of Meditation and Introspection practised regularly.

How one can obtain a calm and peaceful state of mind?

        You know now that our mind can store or enjoy pain, pleasure, peace and ecstasy. These are the four stages. Whatever you want you can be in that state. Until you practice, that pain and pleasure may come automatically because of perceptions due to atmospheric and  environmental conditions.
