Jnana
Yoga: path of wisdom is that path in Spirituality
rarely treaded by even the most serious of all seekers. With none to guide, it
is extremely difficult for one to proceed on this path. Only God-Realized Souls
are competent to guide one on the path. How many such Souls are present in mankind
at a given moment of time... maximum one or two!
God Realized Souls are those personalities who having started, in search of God...
completed their journey... realized their inner
self. Knower of Brahman (The creator of the cosmos)... they can guide
Humanity if they so desire. Every God Realized soul has two paths to follow. Having
emaciated themselves from the cycle
of birth and death ... they can leave their body ... attain Moksha
Salvation! Alternatively, they can give back to the community whatever they learnt...
Help those who are seriously interested proceed on the path of Jnana Yoga (Path
of wisdom)! Jnana
Yoga primarily follows a set of rules without which achieving the ultimate is
not possible. It is like standing on ground one can never have the view of whole
New York. You have to climb high on Empire State Building... There is no other
way out! Elevating
self on the Cosmic Plane requires one to practice Absolute Celibacy. If persisted
for a continuous period of twelve years coupled with purity of thought ... one
reaches the top gradually. Expect no miracles!! All is the result of Karma performed.
Most people fail on the first count itself. To practice celibacy and that too
for a long period of twelve years is something incomprehensible. When confronted
people say, "It is for Mahavira
and Buddha to follow such paths" We want a short cut. Who shall explain to these
Ajnani's (Ignorants)... there are no short cuts in Spirituality? All is the result
of a law which cannot err.
To maintain absolute purity of thought while conducting your mundane affairs is
an extremely tough task. With people all around eager to ditch you on the first
opportunity, you need to act tough sometimes foregoing the calm and inner peace
you were able to maintain with so much difficulty.
One can be at peace with self ... Does it help? Others jealous of your inner controls
do not want you to rise ahead of them. They shall try to bog you down even using
unethical means. The impurities so gained distance you from the cosmic goal of
Life. Your inner tranquility shattered, you start living in a World of illusion.
To abandon or not to abandon the Worldly Life becomes the bane of your thinking.
To maintain harmony, continue living in Grihastha Ashram (Family Life) ... yet
proceed on the path of spirituality is the highest acid test of all. In the final
lap one needs to follow the path of Neti (Art of Negation). Neti (Art of Negation)
by which we negate everything in the Cosmos and what remains in the end is nothing
but God himself, The Almighty Creator of the cosmos. Having come face to face
with the Creator, your journey of Jnana Yoga is complete.
True seeker never seeks bodily pleasures for self and family nor makes material
pursuits as goal of Life. One is not attached to the body of the master but to
what he has to preach. By: Vijay
