Positivity Amidst a Negative World
In the present world, negativity has silently entered every corner of human life. People run behind wealth, comfort, and temporary pleasures, thinking that these will bring them happiness. The desire to earn more and enjoy more has made human life mechanical and restless. Trust among people has almost disappeared, as believing in others has become risky. Though everyone tries to appear positive and pleasant on the outside, the hidden negativity within them reveals itself at unexpected moments, causing disturbance both to themselves and to others.
In such an environment, it becomes extremely difficult for truly positive people to remain positive. The world continuously tests the patience and purity of spiritual seekers. Yet, a Chivality practitioner must remain steadfast in positivity. This is not an option but a necessity, for positivity is the foundation of purity, and purity is the gateway to the divine.
Spiritual practice is never meant to achieve anything material. It is not for fame, wealth, or worldly benefits. The true aim of spiritual practice is to attain purity, the condition free from all impurities of the mind, such as greed, anger, jealousy, hatred, and fear. This purity transforms the mind toward divinity, ensuring a higher and peaceful existence after death.
A spiritual person should not get disturbed by the negativity that surrounds the materialistic world. Negativity can touch only the surface of a seeker; it cannot penetrate the depth of one who is rooted in the Master. A true seeker must learn to remain calm and positive even when the world becomes negative. Allowing external conditions to shake one’s inner silence is a sign of weakness.The practitioner must learn to face the world without losing purity or peace.
The only way to increase and sustain positivity in such times is through Masterfulness, keeping the Master constantly in one’s heart and remembering him. The Master’s energy alone can destroy negativity and bring purity into the seeker’s mind. Continuous remembrance of the Master during Silentation and throughout daily life strengthens the inner Master, which burns away impurities naturally.
By adopting Chivality practice sincerely and without break, one gradually becomes immune to the influence of the material world. The mind starts moving from restlessness to stillness, from impurity to purity, from human condition to divine condition. Such a transformation cannot happen through mere knowledge or belief. It happens only through continuous remembrance and surrender to the Master’s energy.
Let the world remain as it is; let others choose their paths. The seeker of Chivality should walk the path of purity and silence. For one who practices Silentation sincerely with Masterfulness, negativity has no power. The energy of the Master dispels all negativity within,making the seeker a beacon of positivity.
Experiencing the Condition of Atman
Every human being carries within him the divine essence called Atman, the pure consciousness, the true Self. This Atman is untouched by the external world. It has no relationship with material possessions,desires, or worldly attachments. It is eternal, pure, and unchanging.
However, human beings fail to experience this divine Self because of their constant identification with the materialistic world, such as the body, possessions, thoughts, and relationships. As long as one’s attention remains fixed on these outer connections, one lives only as a mind, not as the Atman.
The experience of Atman begins only when one turns inward and sits in silence without thoughts. When the mind becomes blank and still, the seeker begins to touch the subtle condition of the Self. The blankness of the mind represents the beginning of the Atman’s revelation, which can be better understood with examples.
Example 1: A man who lives in a noisy city never realizes that there is a quiet space within him. But when he leaves the city and sits alone in a silent forest, he hears the sound of his own breath and the stillness around him. Similarly, when the mind withdraws from worldly noise and becomes blank, one begins to hear the inner silence, which is the presence of Atman.
Example 2: Imagine a pond disturbed by ripples. The reflection of the moon cannot be seen clearly. Only when the water becomes still does the reflection appear perfectly. Likewise, the Atman, which is ever-present, is not seen when the mind is full of thoughts. When the mind becomes blank, the Atman reflects itself naturally.
Every time a seeker sits in Silentation, reaching a condition of thoughtlessness, he is in the presence of the Atman. The more often this condition is experienced, the more the seeker begins to live in it. When the condition of blankness continues without break, when the seeker remains thought-free even while engaged in daily life, it means he has attained the condition of Atman permanently.
The Role of the Master
This continuity is possible only through constant remembrance of the Master. The Master’s energy helps to dissolve the thoughts that bind the seeker to the world. Every remembrance of the Master draws the seeker inward toward stillness, making blankness natural and effortless.
Just as a magnet pulls iron pieces towards itself, the Master’s remembrance pulls the seeker’s attention away from worldly attachments and fixes it in the state of the Atman. When remembrance becomes continuous, the condition of the Atman too becomes continuous.
Thus, liberation is nothing but living permanently in the condition of the Atman, the condition of blankness, silence, and infinite peace.
Realisation Beyond Expectation
A realised person should never be approached with expectations, because expectation itself is a misunderstanding. When one expects solutions, miracles, answers, guidance, or benefits from a realised person, he is approaching from the wrong level.
Anyone may approach a realised person for “Nothing,” and those who approach him sincerely receive only one thing,which is peace. Nothing else is required, and nothing else is given.
A realised person has no concern for the past or the future. He does not attempt to analyse what was or predict what will become. In fact, he is not concerned with his own past or future either. Past and future belong to the mind. A realised person lives beyond the mind.
He need not be a wise man who knows everything, because knowing belongs to the realm of knowledge. A realised person does not live in knowledge; he lives in Nothing. This Nothingness is not emptiness or ignorance, but the total absence of mental content. Because of this Nothingness, peace exists in him abundantly and permanently.
A realised person is realised for himself, not for society. He does not exist to reform the world, guide humanity, or serve any mission, because realisation is not a social responsibility but a personal state. For him, the Self is more important than anything else, and the Self is God. When the Self is realised, nothing outside remains important.
He is not for the world; he is for Himself. Yet, just as a tree gives shade without intention, anyone who approaches a realised person with sincerity experiences peace, not because the realised person gives it deliberately, but because peace is his natural state.
He cannot give wealth, solutions, success, or answers. He can only offer peace, because peace is the only thing that is fully available in him. Peace is the ultimate need of human beings; without it, life becomes difficult, and the afterlife, too, remains disturbed because the inner state at the moment of death is carried forward.
Therefore, a realised person becomes an unavoidable presence in human life, not by force, preaching, or influence, but because he embodies what every human being ultimately seeks. He stands as silent proof that peace is possible, and that is enough.
