MIND AND NO-MIND

Mind is represented by the westerner’s psyche.

The typical example was Socrates, Man-
Thinking, as Emerson used to say. The poet, the
scholar, the scientist, the technocrat - all are only
variations of the thinking man. The basic unit of
mind is image. And its various denominations
are the sign, symbol, word, sound, thought,
ambition, imagination, intuition, and so on.
The thinking man is a stage in evolution. This
stage has to be consciously transcended. This
learning to think is essential before remaining
thoughtless. Man must first learn to think
through any subject and correctly. This habit is
fully represented by a scientist and technologist.
It must precede before learning yoga, the art of
stopping thinking like an Indian. In this aspect
the westerner is going on the right path perhaps
and the Indian, by avoiding thinking totally, is
mistaken. The root cause of all the miseries of
the Indians is that they don’t know how to think
properly. This is unfortunately not taught in the
schools or colleges. That is why the average
Indian relies upon any cheap, selfish politician
who promises to think for the public. One fact
is forgotten in India that democracy needs two
qualities for its survival, tolerance and individual,
discriminative thinking. Only the former is kept
to some extent in India, but cannot go on for
long. The cause of ills occurring from politicians,
bureaucrats, goondas, robbers, and barons of
industry is this neglect of thinking on the part
of the voting public. This was not so in ancient
India when philosophical systems flourished
everywhere, and philosophical debate and
discussion in the market place was an everyday,
common sight. This fact is ignored by modern
Indian mystics and seers. They want their illiterate
public to leap into mystical states without going
through the right channels. All the textbooks
of Vedanta advocate argumentative thinking as
the initial way for the student before going to
the final stage of experiencing non-dual silence.
Sankara’s books are ample proof of this fact.
Self-consciousness is an essential stage in
the evolution of consciousness. From herdinstinct,
through self-consciousness to cosmicconsciousness,
from man to a Buddha--this is the
right form of conscious evolution. A Buddhist
or a Vedantin must be a scientist first and the
scientist must learn silence. Only then will the
world have complete men and be free from the
dangers of fragmented minds.
In the western intellectual tradition, this process
can be seen in the lives and literatures of
Jung, Goethe, Dante, and Homer. Jung and
Goethe represent fully the second stage of selfconscious
humans. The first, the animal stage,
is, unfortunately represented by the common
consumer of the west. This reversing of the
natural, original evolutionary process is the
dangerous aspect of consumerism. It is a threat
to man’s survival. If this consumerism continues
and succeeds all over the world and man turned
into an animal again he shall be left behind by
the Elan Vital as it has done in the past with
Dinosaurs and other innumerable species. It is
the foremost duty of the leaders of the western
intellectual tradition to warn the public and
stop them from the second ‘Fall’ of man. With
this second fall, perhaps there would be no
redeemer. The species could be extinguished
once for all from the face of the earth.
The IT revolution and computer education
are the right signals given by the evolutionary
process. They are making even people from the
rural areas of India to think. For the first time,
man is becoming man, a self-conscious animal in
the process of thinking. Learning mathematics
is the right way to become a thinker - an
objective, scientific thinker free from prejudices
and idiosyncrasies. When more than 50 percent
of the world population achieve computer
literacy, mankind will enter into its next phase
of evolution, that is, the spiritual phase. Not
before. A Buddha, a Christ, a Sankara, and a
Thiruvalluvar - these few individuals are not the
whole of mankind however great and illumined
they were. All the cells in the body go to make
a human body. The loss of one cell is also the
loss of the body. Which cell in the body is me?
Every cell. Thus every cell is important and must
become fully conscious, fully alive to make the
body totally awake. The meditative technique
of vipassana discovered by Buddha teaches
only this wisdom. The east must learn the art of
thinking and computer literacy from the west,
not its base consumerism. The west must learn
the yoga of silence from the east. Only then the
human species has a chance for survival.
In 1924 Jung traveled to America. There he met
Ochwiay Biano (Mountain Lake), the chief of
Taos Pueblo Indians. He revealed a truth about
the white man’s psyche to Jung and Jung agreed
with him. Jung writes: He struck a vulnerable
spot and unveiled a truth to which I was blind.
“See”, Ochwiay Biano said, “How cruel the
whites look. Their lips are thin, their noses
sharp, their faces furrowed and distorted by
folds. Their eyes have a staring expression; they
are always seeking something. What are they
seeking? The whites always want something;
they are always uneasy and restless. We do not
know what they want. We do not understand
them. We think that they are mad. They say
they think with their heads not with their hearts
as we do. (Head - thinking is an act of selfconsciousness,
a fragmented consciousness
and heart thinking here is nothing but herd
instinct of animals, man - animal one can say
not compassion of a Buddha.)
Jung reflects: I fell into a long meditation. For
the first time in my life, so it seemed to me,
someone had drawn for me a picture of the real
white man”.
Here started the mid - life crisis of Jung and
he discovered the remedy in his own brand
of yoga, ‘the process of individuation’. Every
white man must follow the footsteps of this sage
of Switzerland, not the voice of the advertising
media which will take him and his culture to
the grave and not to any real substance or
immortality.
Even this sage was mistaken in one aspect. He
said that it was dangerous for a white man to
learn yoga from the east. Perhaps it was mere
professional jealousy. Millions of white people
have learnt yoga and have proved him wrong.
His predecessor Goethe was right when he
said:
East and West
Can no longer be kept apart
For the human species is one.
Goethe’s creation of Faust was the exact
portrayal of modern man of the west. Goethe, the
true poet was the right voice of the evolutionary
force. In 1826, he writes about Faust:
He is a man who feels himself impatient and ill
at ease in the limitations of earthly existence,
regarding even the possession of the highest
wisdom, the enjoyment of the best that life can
offer, as incapable of satisfying his aspirations
in the least, so that he comes back from any
experience he essays unhappy than before.
This ‘monster without aim or peace’ he calls
himself in the Urfaust. Faust and Goethe long
for the fullest experience of life, even though he
is convinced that nothing will satisfy him.
Now, contrast this ‘longing for the fullest
experience of life on this earth’ with a Buddha’s,
a Sankara’s, a Christ’s. a Vallalar’s longing for
total renunciation of this life and entry into the
other world.
Faust and Goethe will feel satisfied only with this
spiritual culture of the east, not with his professed
self-culture of the physical, of the artistic, the
intellectual, and the emotional centre. For total
integrity one more centre of consciousness has
to be tapped and experienced: the spirit.
The level of consciousness of a Faust or the
modern man of the west is well illustrated with
a parable in Vedanta. A dog bites into a bone.
The blood oozes. It sucks the blood and enjoys
the taste. But the truth is there is no blood in
the food, in the bone. The bone pierced the
upper roof of its mouth and blood comes out of
the wound. The dog is sucking and tasting only
its own blood, mistaking it to coming from the
food. No, the taste comes from within, from
the spirit. Bone or food or the external object
is only a switch, an instrument that brings on
the light of the taste. When all the taste, the
bliss, is inside, in one’s own spirit, one’s own
consciousness, why rely, unnecessarily on the
outside world? asks Vedanta.
Again this exclusiveness on the experience of
the spiritual, at the cost of the physical is one
sided. The right answer perhaps was provided
by Homer’s Ulysses. The tradition was followed
later by Virgil’s Aeneus and Dante in his Divine
Comedy. It is to learn and master the secrets
of both the physical world and the spiritual
world and enjoy both from this station, the
earth. Ulysses learns to enter into Hades and
comes back, Aeneus does the same. Ulysses is
not deceived by the worlds and wants only one
thing, to go back to his wife Penelope and to
his homeland. Dante went one step further. In
his reverie or meditation he travels like Ulysses
and Aeneus not only into hell, but he also goes
to purgatory and the very Heaven, the spiritual
world where God lives and comes back to this
world. Now the development of consciousness
is almost complete. I say almost because he
has not mastered ‘death’ and conquered nature
- both physical and spiritual. This was done
and the cycle completed in the Tamil Siddhas,
particularly in the life of Saint Ramalinga (1823-
) of Vadalur in Tamilnadu. A Siddha is one who
sees the spiritual world from his seat here on
earth.

Is there one GOD or many? IS THERE ONLY ONE SIVAM? by Salem R.Kuppusamy


Question by Dr.Vinayaga moorthy
IS THERE ONLY ONE SIVAM?

Answer

Dear Sir,

Can there be any doubt about the number of the ultimate Being?
Mahayogi Thirumoolar says 'Ondrae Kulamum, Oruvanae Devanum', Saint Patinathaar says ' Ondrendru iru. Deivam undenru iru.' Vallalar confirms it 'Oru uldalil er uyir enalaamo?' In one body there can be only one spirit. In the same way in the cosmic body also there can be one ultimate spirit.

The doubt arises because of the claiming of various religions that their own brand of God is the supreme. How to solve this problem? As usual it was Vallalar who solved it for me. Vallalar says 'Chith sabaiyil vilanguginra deivam Athe deivam', which means the living God inside the agna chakra, i.e., One's own soul or 'Jeevan' is the temple of Chithambaram inside which the living Lord of Arutperum Jothi is eternally dancing. As long as one tries to see God in temples outside this doubt will linger in the mind.

Long before Saint Manika Vasagar announced the same truth in his immortal words.. ' Thenaadu udaya Sivane Pootri, En naattavarkum iraivaa potri'. At the surface level themeaning of this dictum could be questioned by a christian or musalman. But the real meaning is an eternal truth. 'Thennaadu' does not mean South India or Chithambaram, a geographical location found on the map. What he means by thennadu is the Agna Chakra inside which is the jeevan which is the real temple of Chidhambaram.

Chidh - means life, living spirit.
ambaram - means Sky or temple.

This can be verified by the sacrad verses of vallalar: ' Uyirellam Podhu [All souls are the dancing platform of God. And "Uyirellaam oru nee thiru nadam puriyum thirupodhu ena therintheen" - meaning I discovered that, all souls are a platform on which the only God's eternal dance is being performed. ]

Thiru moolar says 'Seevan yena Sivan yena verillai' meaning there is no difference between Seevan or Jeeva and Siva. There is no difference between 'Pasu' or soul and 'Pathi' or God provided the soul is purified of the malas, anava, kanma and maya.

Saint Aunagiri naarthar says there is but one task for man to do in this life : To pass the test of overcoming the illusory notion that man is not God potentially. 'Seevan Sivan ena theree'.

According to the Saivagamas and saivasidhantha tradition there are four steps to God :
1. Sariyai or doing service at temples
2. Kiriyai or performing poojas at temples or at home
[Both are done outside the body]
3. Yoga or trying to see God in ones own body.
4. Gnana or attaining God in ones body.
[The later two are attained inside the body.]

Every disciple or aspirant is expected to move on from the first step to the last because unless one achieves Gnana one can never see God : 'Gnaname Moksha Dhwara'. Only through the door of Gnana or wisdom one can enter into the land of Salvation.


All these things are clearly said in the Saivite Shasthras as well as in vallalars arutpa. Even in the Bible, Jesus says, "The kingdom of God is within you". Only it falls short of identifying the place which is the spirit.


Thanking you
Love and Blessing

BERGSON AND EVOLUTION


Bergson was perhaps the first philosopher of the
west to understand the dimensional difference
between thought and intuition. He rightly
compared life to a running river. Thought is like
a map of that river showing us only its landmark
static points on its course. By looking at the
map one cannot understand what a river is. On
the contrary if one is immersed in the river and
is taken along the course of it by its drift, then
he could understand the full meaning of it by
directly experiencing it. This direct experiencing
of it, Bergson calls duration. The exact amount
of experiences and their full implications cannot
be measured or shown by the clock, only heart
or intuition by being a part of the experience
can know it.
Bergson was right in his argument but only
partially right. There are two differences
between his point of view and that of Vedanta.
First, intuition can be of two centres, of thought
as well as pure intelligence. For one true intuition
of truth there are millions of false intuitions
given by thought. Following these false leads,
thousands of lives of scientists have been
wasted; all minor poets and minor philosophers
have followed these false leads to their graves.
Even with true intuition there is a danger. A
lot of energy is consumed by a single flash of
intuition and man cannot withstand too many.
The human body is too fine a filament of copper
not to be fused and go burst against such a
torrent of current.
As long as the subject, the ego, the experiencer
is there, this defect and danger will be there.
Vedanta says, “Become the river Experience
without the experiencer”. This is the state of
Samadhi and sahaja Samadhi
Then what happens? You become not only
the river but you also go beyond it. You are
at the same time the river and the witnessing
consciousness as though from above with
an aerial view. For you become the absolute
consciousness.
The river is a part of cosmos. You become the
cosmos. You stay forever in the state of Krishna,
the consciousness of Vishwa rupa dharshan.
Arjuna got frightened of that state and wanted
to come back to his everyday consciousness
because, the experiencer, the subject, was not
extinguished in him. To attain the level of Krishna
is meant by the absolute consciousness. Then
there is only the self always witnessing as well
as taking part in the functioning of the cosmos.
Reality is a perpetual flow; Bergson understood
rightly. Unless you are a participant in it, you
can never understand it. This is experiencing
of duration. This is also okay. However there
is something more which Bergson and all the
other western philosophers were not able to
understand. The participant at the same time
can also be a witnessing consciousness or self
beyond reality. For man is both prakriti and
atman. Reality is only the prakriti. Upanishad
says, there are two birds on the tree. One is
always eating the fruits. The other is always
witnessing. The first is prakriti. The second is
the witnessing consciousness. Both together
constitute man.
Life (élan vital of Bergson) is also in the flow
changeable, having birth and death. Only spirit
is unchanging, eternal. Bergson was right in
stating that life is motion in time that can be
understood only by intuition. On the other hand
spirit is beyond time and intuition. Intuition acts
only as a flash, a lightning and then it is gone.
Perhaps one can say that the highest level of
thought or its purity is intuition. However spirit
is beyond intuition. It is a changeless condition.
It has nothing to do with factors of change, with
instruments of change like body and time, for
both are of prakriti. Self is pure consciousness
untainted by any changing, decaying factor of
prakriti.
Every experience or level of experience can be
understood only by its corresponding centre
of consciousness. Intuition is only one centre
like thought of a divided consciousness. Self
is total consciousness, pervading not only the
physical body but also the whole of cosmos,
the Brahman-consciousness. This centre in
us must be activated. For that to happen, all
centres of analysis and fragmentation, like
thought, body, and individual sense of ego must
go. Then total being with its whole energy can
come into operation. Self is total energy, total
consciousness. Anything that divides it even by
an iota will deter us from attaining the state of
advaita, the oneness with creation.

How to avoid negative thoughts - Question from Shiva


Be blessed by divine sir,

I had this doubt from quite a long time.
It has been mentioned that by undertaking the herbs like vallarai,Thoothvalai,musumus...we can reduce our intensity of thoughts..
Please let me know whether only unwanted -ve thoughts which are deeply imprinted in our subconscious mind are going to erased from mind or anything else is going to happen..
If so what about intellectual knowledge which we have acquired through studies.
Please provide me with as much as clarity as possible...
Awaiting for your reply ..
Shiva Kumar B M

Hi,
Humans think that their happiness comes from the mind, It is wrong, it’s an illusion, its only pleasure., where ever there is pleasure , pain is bound to be there , they are two sides of the same coin. Mind is the sea in which like waves thoughts arise, sometimes, thoughts are pleasant and sometimes they are painful. 
At the intellectual level one can learn to avoid painful thoughts and have pleasant thoughts only. But there are other and higher centers of consciousness; learning about them is called spiritual knowledge and divine knowledge. Entering into those regions is called YOGA, GNANA and all types of spiritual practices. Though they are very hard to attain, they are not impossible.

There are only two things in human life to learn, one is to think correctly, orderly, clearly and to the point. This is called concentrated thinking or DHARANA in yogic terminology.
The next thing to learn is to still the mind and eradicate thoughts.

Correct thinking can be learnt by learning logic, computer science and Socratic dialogues written by Plato. Going beyond thoughts and awakening the pure intelligence of the soul, the Aathman and God head are possible by practicing YOGA, MEDITATION and other spiritual disciplines. Then you will be able to control and go beyond thoughts. These higher centers of consciousness are : Intuition or the seventh degree of knowledge, insight or the eighth degree of knowledge, the capacity to enter into the kingdom of God , which is the ninth degree of knowledge.

Finally the ultimate and the tenth degree of knowledge called the mind of light is attained by constantly and singularly thinking of God only and fusing ones consciousness with the consciousness of GOD. In short there are 10 degrees of knowledge in the ladder of creation, man is at the 6th stage of thought but so far he has not fully attained even that sixth stage. He has to scale up the other four rungs of the ladder of knowledge.


Saint Ramalinga has simplified the whole process of attaining super consciousness in a single act oflove and compassion, by p[practicing compassion towards all beings and by devotion to the Lord Arutperum Jothi inside the spirit of one’s self at the center of one’s head called 'Chit Sabha'. One can attain it easily, its a short cut and a straight forward one because Love is not a thought, it is not an emotion as we wrongly think. It is ultimate knowledge and wisdom, it is also the power of God himself with which He is creating and sustaining the universe. The number of beings human, animal or plant or otherwise, you are capable of loving with your whole being as your own self. You are going up in the ladder of super consciousness.

Love is the embodiment of higher knowledge; compassion is the human counter part of divine grace. Swami Vallalar in his mahopadesa says that it was only total compassion towards all beings that transformed his consciousness as well as his body into those of divine light.

All these things have been already explained in ever so many letters and lectures. So humbly requestyou to go through my CDs and books. We can talk about higher things in Sutha Sanmarga for all these are basics.

Particularly I want you to read my book in tamil called " அறிவு நிலைகள் பத்து " [ ten degrees of knowledge], published by "Tamizhini Publishes", 67, Peters Road, Royapettha, Chennai - 600 014.Phone : 98841 96552.

For any question and queries , please call me on 91 98427 51510

Thanks R.Kuppusamy

GLOBALIZATION AND EVOLUTION

Until evolution came on the world scene in 1859, the physical body of science lay like the inert clay-body of Adam on the mud. Then like God, Sir Charles Darwin breathed the spirit and life of evolution into its nostrils and Adam came into life. After that there was no turning back at all. Now we know that the theory of evolution was not an act of infamy against God but through the person of Darwin, it was God who instigated into the minds of humans his true religion, the religion of pure science and pure knowledge, shorn of all dogmas, rituals, the privileged priest-craft and worn-out institutions who came in between Him and His children. In His eyes, there was no division among His children, no chosen people or the slave races. He belonged and belongs to all, even to animals and plants equally. This fact, he revealed to the world through the advent of the evolutionary theory. When all the religions partitioned mankind it was science, the science of evolution that brought it together into one fold, into one family – even the inorganic and inert nature was not left out. Science voices the true humanism, the real religion. If some scientists sell their souls for thirty silver coins or thirty million dollars to create weapons of destructions, we cannot blame science itself, the loving mother of mankind, who wants to give her milk of comfort to every son and daughter of hers.

Science of Enlightenment and ImmortalityFor the first time in human history the scientist-saint Swamy Ramalinga Vallalar has given us a complete science of immortality and eternity in scientific terms in all its details.

In the 1860s Charles Darwin published his "Theory of Evolution". But when the American professor Chancey Wright asked him,what would be the next stage in human evolution? He replied that he did not know. But Swamy Ramalinga Vallalar answered that question positively. Not only the next stage in Human Evolution but the final stage was also conducted his experiment in his own body successfully and realized histeachings. He transformed his physical body into a body of wisdom-light. The details are given in these lectures delivered by

Thiru.R.Kuppusamy.



Other features covered in these lectures are :


- Can Humans eradicate the problem of world poverty and hunger?

- The enlightenment of the human body as well as the enlightenment ofconsciousness.

- The intelligence born of love as contrasted with that born ofthought which is nothing but matter thiugh subtle.

- Can humans ever succeed in attaining total self-sufficiency in termsof food, breath and knowledge independently of nature?
