1) Understanding the Character of God Through Nature
If you wish to understand the character of God, observe nature. Nature is the visible expression of the Divine. Everything in the natural world—including the human body, animals, plants, mountains, rivers, and all biodegradable forms—is part of God's creation.
The Divine expresses itself through nature. Therefore, by carefully observing nature, we can gain insight into the qualities of the Divine.
Many people judge nature as good or bad. A pleasant climate is called good, while storms, floods, earthquakes, or droughts are called bad. In reality, nature itself has neither goodness nor badness. It simply functions according to the Divine order. Human beings label events as good or bad based on their personal likes, dislikes, expectations, and convenience.
Nature is completely impartial. It does not favour anyone, nor does it discriminate against anyone. It simply performs its role.
Likewise, the behaviour of a God-realised Master may sometimes appear unpredictable to the ordinary mind. This is because a realised Master no longer functions according to personal emotions, attachments, expectations, or social conditioning. Just as nature acts according to universal law, the realised Master acts according to Divine wisdom. Those who judge the Master through the ordinary human mind may misunderstand His actions, just as people misunderstand nature.
God is present everywhere in the form of infinite space. Space pervades everything and accommodates the entire universe without preference or limitation. Yet, although we live within space every moment, we do not truly experience its Divine nature because our minds are filled with desires, fears, expectations, emotions, and countless thoughts.
According to Chivality, space itself is God. The condition of space is absolute silence, complete peace, and infinite openness. Therefore, to experience God is not to travel somewhere outside ourselves but to transform our own inner condition into the condition of space.
When the negative mind is completely dissolved, silence naturally arises. As silence deepens, lasting peace becomes one's natural state. A mind that has become pure, free from negativity and psychological disturbances, begins to experience the Divine condition within itself. This is what can be called attaining the condition of God.
The formless God, being pure space, never speaks because It has no physical body. Nature also does not speak through words. Yet both continuously express Divine intelligence through their existence and functioning.
However, when that same Divine consciousness is fully realised within a human being, it gains the ability to communicate through a human body. Such a person is a God-realised Master. The Master becomes the living voice of the silent Divine. Through His words, guidance, presence, and spiritual energy, the otherwise silent God becomes accessible to sincere seekers.
Everyone understands that God is the source of peace. But an important question remains: How can we attain that peace? Who will guide us on the path?
The silent God cannot verbally instruct us. Therefore, the Divine appears in human form as a realised Master to guide humanity. The Master teaches the practical way to dissolve the negative mind, cultivate inner silence, and realise the Divine within.
If a seeker sincerely follows the guidance of a realised Master with humility, faith, and regular spiritual practice, peace gradually becomes permanent. As inner silence deepens, the seeker begins to experience the presence of God not as a belief but as a living reality.
The greatest blessing in human life is not merely believing in God, but transforming oneself into the very condition of God—absolute silence, perfect peace, and limitless Divine presence.If you would like, I can also make this more philosophical and aligned even more closely with the principles of Chivality, emphasizing that Space is God, the human mind must become Chivam (Nothingness), and the realised Master is the living manifestation of the silent Divine.
2) The Silent God, Nature, and the Living Master
If you truly wish to understand the character of God, observe nature carefully. Nature is the visible expression of the invisible Divine. Everything that exists in nature—the vast sky, the earth, the mountains, rivers, oceans, trees, plants, animals, birds, and even the human body—is a manifestation of the Divine creation.
According to Chivality, God is not an individual sitting somewhere in the universe. God is the infinite Space that exists everywhere. Space is the original, eternal, and all-pervading Divine Reality. It has no beginning, no end, no birth, and no death. Everything exists within Space, and ultimately everything dissolves back into it.
Nature is the expression of this infinite Space. Therefore, by understanding nature, we begin to understand the Divine.
Human beings often divide nature into good and bad. Pleasant weather is considered good, while storms, floods, droughts, earthquakes, and other natural events are considered bad. However, nature itself has neither goodness nor badness. It simply functions according to the Divine order. It has no likes, dislikes, attachments, hatred, or personal intentions.
The concepts of good and bad exist only in the human mind. Nature remains completely impartial. It neither rewards nor punishes anyone. It simply performs its universal function.
For this reason, the behaviour of a God-realised Master may also appear unpredictable to ordinary people. A realised Master does not function from emotions, expectations, ego, or personal preferences. Having dissolved the individual mind, He functions from the Divine state itself. Just as nature cannot be controlled according to our wishes, neither can a realised Master be expected to behave according to our expectations. His actions arise from Divine intelligence rather than human psychology.
Although God exists everywhere as Space, most people cannot experience Him because their own minds are filled with desires, expectations, fears, attachments, memories, emotions, and countless thoughts. These impurities cover the Divine condition already present within.
In Chivality, the human mind itself is God in an impure condition. The real God is pure Space, while the human mind is the same Space filled with psychological impurities. Therefore, spiritual practice is not about acquiring God but about removing everything that prevents us from experiencing the God already within us.
The condition of Space is absolute silence.
The condition of Space is complete peace.
The condition of Space is perfect Nothingness (Chivam).
When the human mind is purified through Silentation, remembrance of the Divine Master, and the dissolution of negativity, it gradually becomes identical to the condition of Space. This transformation is called spiritual evolution. It is not the attainment of something new but the restoration of our original Divine nature.
The formless God never speaks because Space has no physical body. Nature also does not speak through words. Yet both constantly express Divine intelligence through their silent existence.
Then how does the silent God guide humanity?
The answer is through a God-realised Master.
When the infinite Divine Space is fully realised within a human body, that body becomes a living instrument of the Divine. The Master speaks, teaches, guides, blesses, and transmits Divine energy. Through Him, the silent God becomes audible. Through Him, the invisible God becomes visible. Through Him, the unknowable God becomes directly experienceable.
Without such a realised Master, the silent Divine cannot verbally instruct humanity. Therefore, throughout history, the Divine has always worked through realised beings to guide sincere seekers toward liberation.
Many people believe that God grants wealth, success, power, and worldly achievements. But the true nature of God is different. God is Peace itself. Since God is pure Peace, His greatest gift is Peace.
The realised Master does not merely promise peace; He shows the practical path to attain it. Through His guidance, His Divine energy, and the practice of Silentation, the seeker's negative mind gradually dissolves. As the mind becomes empty of desires, expectations, fear, anger, jealousy, and ego, silence naturally blossoms within.
When silence becomes permanent, peace also becomes permanent.
When peace becomes permanent, the condition of God is realised.
This is Chivam—the state of absolute Nothingness, where the individual mind disappears and only the infinite Divine remains.
The highest purpose of human life is not merely to worship God from a distance, nor simply to believe in God. The true purpose is to transform the impure human mind into the pure Divine condition.
To know God is to become God in condition.
To experience Space is to become Space in consciousness.
To realise the Divine is to live in eternal Silence, unbroken Peace, and limitless Nothingness.
This is the ultimate goal of Chivality and the highest evolution of human life.This version reflects the central vision of Chivality: Space is God; the human mind is God in an impure condition; Silentation dissolves the negative mind into Chivam (Nothingness); and the God-realised Master is the living manifestation of the otherwise silent Divine.

3) ME and My Ego – The Journey from Individuality to Divinity
Every human being consists of two distinct principles: Me and Ego. Understanding the difference between these two is one of the greatest steps toward spiritual awakening and liberation.
What is "Me"?
Me is not the body, the mind, the intellect, or the personality.
Me is a subtle Divine energy that has descended from the Supreme Divinity. It is a tiny spark of the Infinite Divine, just as a ray belongs to the sun or a drop belongs to the ocean. By its very nature, Me is pure, peaceful, innocent, and free from all human qualities. In Chivality, this original state is called Chivam—the state beyond all qualities (Nirguna).
Me has no desires, expectations, fear, hatred, jealousy, pride, or suffering. It neither claims ownership nor seeks recognition. It simply exists as pure consciousness.
What is Ego?
The Ego is not Me. It is a protective identity that develops around Me after birth in order to function in the material world.
Initially, this identity helps maintain individual existence. However, as life progresses, the Ego becomes deeply influenced by desires, attachments, fears, emotions, and countless negative tendencies. Gradually, instead of protecting Me, it imprisons Me.
The Ego creates the illusion:
- "I am this body."
- "I am this mind."
- "I am the doer."
- "I am the owner."
- "Everything belongs to me."
Thus, the Ego becomes the greatest obstacle between Me and the Divine.
How the Ego Gains Strength
The Ego derives its strength from negativity.
Every desire strengthens it.
Every attachment strengthens it.
Every fear strengthens it.
Every expectation strengthens it.
Every emotion based on duality strengthens it.
Every act of pride, jealousy, anger, greed, possessiveness, or selfishness feeds the Ego with negative energy.
The stronger the negativity, the stronger the Ego becomes. This strengthened Ego is what may be called the Negative Ego.
Who Controls Human Life?
Although Me is the source of life, it is usually not the one directing human behaviour.
Instead of allowing Me to function through a pure mind and a pure intellect, the Negative Ego takes control.
The Ego makes use of:
- the negative mind,
- the corrupted intellect,
- and the physical body
to fulfil its own desires and ambitions.
After every action, the Ego proudly declares:
"I did this."
"I achieved this."
"This belongs to me."
In reality, the body performs the action, the intellect makes decisions, energy comes from Me, and the universal power behind everything is the Divinity.
Without Me, neither the body, the mind, the intellect, nor the Ego can function even for a single moment.
Who Really Suffers?
People generally say, "I am suffering."
Spiritually speaking, this is not completely true.
Me never suffers.
Me is pure Divine energy.
Pain belongs to the Ego.
The Ego experiences insult.
The Ego experiences failure.
The Ego experiences fear.
The Ego experiences attachment.
The Ego experiences disappointment.
The Ego experiences pleasure and pain.
The Ego alone lives within the world of duality.
Me remains untouched, just as the sky remains untouched by the clouds passing through it.
Me Has No Ownership
Me performs every action through the body, mind, and intellect, yet never claims ownership.
Me knows that everything belongs to the Divine.
Just as a child does not claim ownership over the actions of its mother, Me never claims ownership over the Divine's creation.
Me is only a tiny spark of the Infinite Divine.
The complete knowledge and operation of the universe belong only to the Supreme Divinity.
Therefore, Me lives in surrender rather than ownership.
The Role of the Guru
Liberation is not achieved merely by acquiring spiritual knowledge.
Knowledge can sharpen the intellect, but it cannot dissolve the Ego.
The Ego is far more subtle than intellectual understanding.
Therefore, sincere seekers who long for true freedom naturally search for a realised Guru.
The Guru's greatest work is not merely teaching philosophy.
His real work is gradually reducing the disciple's Ego.
Through discipline, surrender, Divine transmission, and continuous spiritual practice, the Guru slowly weakens the Negative Ego.
As the Ego dissolves, Me begins to shine more clearly.
Eventually, the disciple discovers that what remained hidden all along was the Divine itself.
The Guru does not create Divinity.
He simply removes the barrier that separates Me from the Divinity.
Negative Ego and Positive Ego
Not every form of Ego is harmful.
The Negative Ego is built upon ignorance, desires, attachments, fear, selfishness, pride, and the sense of ownership. It separates Me from the Divine and keeps the individual bound to the cycle of suffering.
The Positive Ego, on the other hand, is a functional identity that allows Me to live responsibly in the world. It works with a purified mind, a purified intellect, and a disciplined body. It performs necessary duties without excessive attachment or selfishness.
As long as Me remains within the physical body, this functional Ego is required for practical living.
However, after liberation—when Me leaves the body and merges with the Infinite Divinity—even this Positive Ego is no longer necessary.
The Goal of Spiritual Life
The purpose of spirituality is not to destroy the individual but to dissolve the Negative Ego.
When the Negative Ego disappears:
The mind becomes pure.
The intellect becomes clear.
The body becomes an instrument of the Divine.
Me regains its original nature.
Finally, Me recognises its oneness with the Infinite Divinity.
This is liberation.
This is freedom.
This is Chivam—the state beyond Ego, beyond duality, beyond suffering, and beyond individuality.
When Ego disappears, only the Divine remains.This presentation distinguishes Me, Negative Ego, and Positive Ego, and explains how the Guru helps dissolve the negative ego so that the original Divine nature (Chivam) can be realised. It also emphasizes that liberation is not merely intellectual knowledge, but the dissolution of the ego that obscures the Divine.
4) Constant Remembrance and Liberation
Liberation is possible only when the human mind is gradually dissolved. The dissolution of the mind does not mean the destruction of intelligence or the inability to function in the world. Rather, it means the dissolution of everything that binds the individual to suffering and limitation—attachments, desires, expectations, possessiveness, selfish feelings, emotional disturbances, and all negative qualities. As these gradually disappear, the mind becomes pure, silent, and free.
The ordinary human mind is filled with negative energy because it is continuously influenced by fear, anger, jealousy, hatred, pride, greed, anxiety, worries, disappointments, and countless desires. These negative vibrations create restlessness and prevent the individual from experiencing inner peace. Therefore, the transformation of this negative energy into positive Divine energy is essential for spiritual evolution.
According to Chivality, this transformation is not possible merely through personal effort or positive thinking. It is accomplished through the Divine energy of the Master—the energy of Chivam. The Master's energy alone has the power to purify the mind, reduce its impurities, and gradually transform the seeker into a Divine being.
There are two ways to receive the Master's energy. The first is by physically remaining in the presence of the Master. However, it is not possible for everyone to stay with the Master at all times. The second, and more practical way, is through constant remembrance of the Master. Whenever the Master is remembered with love, faith, and sincerity, the connection with His Divine energy is established. This remembrance becomes an invisible channel through which the energy of Chivam continuously flows into the seeker.
For this reason, diary writing has been prescribed as an important spiritual discipline. A diary is not merely a record of daily events; it is a tool to cultivate uninterrupted remembrance of the Master. Before beginning any activity, think within yourself, "I am doing this for my beloved Master." At the end of the day, lovingly record your actions, experiences, thoughts, and observations in the diary as though you are reporting them to the Master with humility and devotion.
When every action is performed in remembrance of the Master, the mind naturally becomes alert and disciplined. One cannot knowingly perform actions that would hurt, deceive, insult, or disturb others while sincerely feeling that the action is being done for the Master. Thus, remembrance itself becomes a powerful guide for righteous living.
Anything that creates disturbance to yourself or to others should be recognized as a negative quality. Such qualities include anger, hatred, jealousy, selfishness, fear, anxiety, excessive expectations, pride, greed, impatience, and all forms of negativity. On the other hand, thoughts, words, and actions that bring peace, harmony, love, compassion, humility, patience, forgiveness, and happiness to yourself and others are positive qualities. These positive qualities naturally increase as the Master's energy works within you.
As you continue this practice, you will begin to observe remarkable changes within yourself. Your reactions become milder. Your fears, anxieties, worries, and emotional disturbances gradually diminish. Your mind becomes calmer, your decisions become wiser, and your relationships become more harmonious. Others, too, will notice a positive transformation in your behavior, speech, and presence.
This gradual purification of the mind is the path to liberation. A liberated person continues to live in the material world, performs all necessary duties, and fulfills responsibilities, yet remains inwardly unattached. Such a person is no longer mentally bound by possessions, relationships, desires, or worldly ambitions. Though living amidst the world, the liberated one remains free from its bondage and abides in inner peace.
Therefore, never neglect your diary writing. Write it every day with love, sincerity, and constant remembrance of the Master. Let every page strengthen your connection with Him. Over time, this simple but profound practice will deepen your remembrance, draw the Master's Divine energy into your life, purify your mind, transform your nature, and steadily lead you towards liberation.
5) Chivality: Protection from Negativity and the Path to Liberation
The practice of Chivality is not intended to attack, oppose, or offend anyone. Its purpose is to protect the seeker from negativity and from the negative qualities that exist both within oneself and in the materialistic world. A true spiritual seeker does not live to conquer others; rather, he or she strives to conquer the inner enemies that prevent peace and liberation.
The material world is largely driven by desires, competition, selfishness, expectations, attachments, and countless emotional conflicts. Living in such an environment is not easy. Every day, we encounter situations that test our patience, disturb our peace, and provoke negative reactions. If we respond with the same negativity, we only strengthen the bondage of the mind.
At the same time, living in this world without any compromise is often impossible. In our family, workplace, and society, compromises become a part of life. However, compromises frequently bring inner pain, disappointment, frustration, and emotional suffering. Failures, criticism, rejection, loss, and unfulfilled expectations also disturb the mind and create fear, anxiety, anger, and helplessness.
The question, therefore, is not how to escape the world, but how to remain peaceful while living in it.
According to Chivality, the answer lies in the Divine protection of Chivam. Human effort alone cannot completely protect the mind from its own impurities. The mind itself is the source of suffering because it is filled with negative qualities. Therefore, what is required is not merely self-control but Divine transformation.
This Divine protection becomes available when the seeker completely surrenders to Chivam through the Divine Master. Surrender is not weakness; it is the willingness to allow the Divine to guide, protect, and transform one's life. When the seeker remembers the Master with faith and sincerity, the energy of Chivam begins to work within. It gradually reduces the disturbances of the mind and strengthens the qualities of peace, patience, love, humility, courage, and acceptance.
The energy of Chivam protects the seeker from everything that disturbs inner peace. It may not always remove external problems immediately, but it changes the way the seeker experiences them. Situations remain the same, yet the suffering gradually disappears because the mind itself is becoming free from negativity.
The responsibility of Chivam is to transform the negative human mind into a positive human mind. As this transformation continues, fear is replaced by courage, anxiety by peace, hatred by love, anger by compassion, selfishness by selflessness, and attachment by freedom. This inner transformation is the true miracle of spiritual life.
Only a positive mind can move towards liberation. A mind filled with negativity remains bound to the material world, while a purified and positive mind naturally progresses towards freedom. Liberation is not attained by escaping the world but by becoming inwardly free from the negativity that binds us to it.
Therefore, the practice of Chivality is a continuous journey of Divine protection and inner transformation. By surrendering to Chivam, remembering the Divine Master, and allowing His energy to work within, the seeker becomes protected from negativity, remains peaceful amidst the challenges of life, and steadily advances towards the ultimate goal—Liberation.
6) Who Really Needs Peace?
Many people say they need peace. But who truly seeks peace with intensity?
It is usually the person who is struggling to face life's challenges. Those who are burdened by fear, repeated failures, disappointments, anxiety, ill-health, loneliness, poverty, lack of opportunities, overwhelming responsibilities, addictions, emotional wounds, or feelings of helplessness naturally long for peace. Those who feel neglected, powerless, or cheated by life also search for something that can give them inner strength.
When difficulties become unbearable, many people turn towards God, hoping that all their external problems will disappear. They pray for success, wealth, health, relationships, or relief from suffering. However, life often continues to present challenges despite their prayers. This leads many to become confused or disappointed.
This does not mean that our expectations can never be fulfilled. Positive changes can certainly happen. New opportunities may arise. We may recover from illness, succeed in our efforts, overcome failures, build better relationships, or experience unexpected blessings. Life is full of possibilities, and good things do happen. However, there can never be a guarantee or promise that every expectation will be fulfilled exactly as we desire or within the time we expect. The future remains uncertain, and external circumstances are always subject to change.
Therefore, if our peace depends entirely upon favourable outcomes, we will continue to fluctuate between happiness and disappointment. Lasting peace cannot be built upon uncertainty. It must arise from within, independent of whether circumstances support us or challenge us.
The fundamental need of a human being is not merely the removal of problems. What is needed is the inner power to face every situation with courage, endurance, patience, and perseverance. When these qualities are present, even difficult circumstances lose their ability to disturb the mind.
Why do people lose courage so easily?
According to the Chivality system, the root cause is negative energy accumulated within the mind. This negative energy expresses itself as fear, anxiety, anger, insecurity, jealousy, frustration, hopelessness, emotional weakness, and countless other disturbing qualities. These negative tendencies weaken the mind and prevent a person from responding wisely to life's situations.
Every negative thought, emotion, and reaction consumes inner strength. As negativity increases, peace naturally decreases.
A disturbed mind cannot create peace merely by wishing for it. Just as darkness cannot remove itself, negative energy cannot transform itself into positivity without the support of a higher energy.
This is where the Chivality system offers a practical spiritual solution.
The Chivality system introduces the seeker to the Divine Energy of Chivam—the Supreme Positive Energy. Through the regular practice of Silentation and constant remembrance of the Divine Master, the energy of Chivam gradually enters the mind and transforms its negativity into positivity.
As negative energy diminishes, positive qualities naturally begin to emerge. Fear is replaced by courage. Anxiety gives way to confidence. Restlessness becomes calmness. Impatience transforms into patience. Weakness becomes endurance. Hopelessness turns into inner strength.
The external world may remain the same, but the individual's capacity to face it changes completely.
Peace, therefore, is not the absence of problems. Peace is the strength to remain undisturbed while facing problems.
Chivality does not promise a life without challenges. Instead, it helps a person develop the inner power to live through every challenge with stability, clarity, courage, patience, endurance, and sustained positivity.
If you feel mentally exhausted, emotionally disturbed, burdened by responsibilities, or defeated by life's circumstances, Chivality warmly invites you to experience the transforming power of Chivam.
When the negative energy within is transformed into positive energy, the mind becomes peaceful, the heart becomes fearless, and life can be lived with balance and dignity, even amidst the challenges of the material world.This addition strengthens the message by making it clear that Chivality does not deny the possibility of success or positive change, but emphasizes that inner peace should not depend solely on uncertain external results.
7) Chivam – The Source of Peace and Auspiciousness
In the Chivality system, Chivam is understood as the source of both Peace and Auspiciousness. Although these two are related, they are not the same.
Peace is an inner experience.
Auspiciousness is the harmonious unfolding of life in the outer world.
Peace – The Natural State of Chivam
The human mind is constantly occupied by thoughts, desires, fears, memories, expectations and emotions. This continuous mental activity creates restlessness. A restless mind can never experience lasting peace.
Through the regular practice of Silentation in the Chivality system, the flow of thoughts gradually diminishes. As thoughts become fewer, moments of mental blankness begin to appear. This blankness is not emptiness in a negative sense; it is a state of pure awareness where the mind is temporarily free from disturbances.
Just as the surface of a lake becomes perfectly calm when the winds stop blowing, the mind becomes peaceful when thoughts subside. The calmness of the lake allows it to reflect the sky clearly. Likewise, the blank mind reflects the presence of Chivam. This inner stillness is experienced as true peace.
Therefore, peace is not something that comes from outside. It naturally arises when the mind returns to its original silent state.
Auspiciousness – The Grace of Harmonious Living
Auspiciousness is experienced when life unfolds in a favourable manner. Our needs are fulfilled, obstacles are removed, suitable opportunities arise, and the right people appear at the right time. This brings satisfaction and gratitude.
However, in the material world, very few things happen in complete isolation. Human beings live in an interconnected society where each person's actions influence many others. A teacher shapes a student, a doctor heals a patient, an employer gives work to an employee, a friend offers support, and a stranger may unexpectedly become the reason for our success.
Life functions through countless invisible connections between people.
According to the Chivality system, the energy of Chivam does not merely work within the practitioner. It also radiates outward through the practitioner's positive energy.
As the practitioner becomes increasingly filled with Chivam energy, the negativity surrounding the mind decreases. This positive vibration naturally creates harmony in relationships and interactions. People become more receptive, more understanding, and more willing to extend cooperation. Someone who understands the practitioner's genuine need may come forward to offer guidance, encouragement, resources, or practical help.
This should not be understood as a supernatural force compelling others against their will. Rather, Chivam creates an atmosphere of positivity, clarity, goodwill, and mutual understanding in which the right human connections can naturally develop. Through these connections, many needs are fulfilled and many difficulties find practical solutions.
Just as a healthy flower does not invite bees by force but attracts them through its fragrance, a practitioner filled with Chivam energy naturally attracts cooperation, goodwill, and favourable circumstances. Likewise, a magnet does not chase iron; its presence naturally draws iron towards it. In the same way, a mind filled with positivity becomes a centre of harmony that influences its surroundings.
When the required help arrives through the right people at the right time, and life moves in a favourable direction, the practitioner experiences this as Auspiciousness.
Peace and Auspiciousness Together
Thus, the regular practice of Chivality offers two invaluable blessings.
The first is Peace—an inner state born from the reduction of thoughts and the experience of mental silence.
The second is Auspiciousness—the harmonious support that often unfolds through human relationships and favourable circumstances, leading to the fulfilment of genuine needs.
Peace transforms the practitioner from within.
Auspiciousness supports the practitioner from without.
When both inner peace and outer harmony come together, life becomes balanced, meaningful, and spiritually fulfilling.
This is the blessing of Chivam as experienced in the Chivality system.This version presents the distinction between Peace (inner transformation) and Auspiciousness (outer harmony through human cooperation) in a clear, balanced, and philosophical manner, using analogies that make the concepts easier to understand.

Rather, Chivam creates an atmosphere of positivity, clarity, goodwill, and mutual understanding in which the right human connections can naturally develop. Through these connections, many needs are fulfilled and many difficulties find practical solutions.
Just as a healthy flower does not invite bees by force but attracts them through its fragrance, a practitioner filled with Chivam energy naturally attracts cooperation, goodwill, and favourable circumstances. Likewise, a magnet does not chase iron; its presence naturally draws iron towards it. In the same way, a mind filled with positivity becomes a centre of harmony that influences its surroundings.
When the required help arrives through the right people at the right time, and life moves in a favourable direction, the practitioner experiences this as Auspiciousness.
Peace and Auspiciousness Together
Thus, the regular practice of Chivality offers two invaluable blessings.
The first is Peace—an inner state born from the reduction of thoughts and the experience of mental silence.
The second is Auspiciousness—the harmonious support that often unfolds through human relationships and favourable circumstances, leading to the fulfilment of genuine needs.
Peace transforms the practitioner from within.
Auspiciousness supports the practitioner from without.
When both inner peace and outer harmony come together, life becomes balanced, meaningful, and spiritually fulfilling.
This is the blessing of Chivam as experienced in the Chivality system.This version presents the distinction between Peace (inner transformation) and Auspiciousness (outer harmony through human cooperation) in a clear, balanced, and philosophical manner, using analogies that make the concepts easier to understand.
8) Divine Perception, Divine Permission and Divine Intelligence
In the Chivality system, Divinity is not viewed as a person with likes, dislikes, emotions, or a thinking mind. Divinity is the infinite, all-pervading Space—present everywhere, within and beyond all existence. Since Divinity has no mind, it does not think, judge, praise, punish, or favour anyone. Its functioning is through Divine Intelligence, the universal intelligence that sustains and governs creation.
Understanding this truth helps us look at life from an entirely different perspective.
Divine Perception
Human perception is limited by thoughts, emotions, desires, fears, and personal experiences. We see life through the narrow window of our mind. Therefore, we often divide events into success and failure, pleasure and pain, gain and loss.
Divine Perception is different. It is seeing life through the intelligence of Divinity rather than through the reactions of the human mind.
Whenever we face a problem, our immediate tendency is to search for a solution using our own intelligence. If a solution is found, we proceed with confidence. But there are situations where every effort fails, every door appears closed, and no answer is visible.
At such moments, Divine Perception begins.
Instead of asking, "Why is this happening to me?", we begin to ask, "What is this situation revealing through Divine Intelligence? What can I learn? How should I grow?"
Divine Perception does not always remove the problem immediately. Instead, it changes the one who is facing the problem. As our perception changes, our relationship with the problem also changes.
A person standing very close to a large painting can see only scattered colours. The same painting becomes meaningful only when viewed from a distance. Similarly, the human mind sees only fragments of life, whereas Divine Intelligence perceives the whole picture.
Divine Permission
Once we perceive life from the standpoint of Divine Intelligence, the next step is Divine Permission.
Divine Permission means accepting every happening exactly as it is, without inner resistance, because reality has already unfolded.
Acceptance does not mean weakness, helplessness, or giving up. It simply means that fighting against an already existing fact only creates additional suffering.
Suppose heavy rain begins during a journey. No amount of anger can stop the rain. A wise traveller accepts the rain, takes shelter if necessary, and continues the journey when the time is right. Acceptance conserves energy, while resistance wastes it.
Likewise, many situations in life cannot be changed immediately. They can only be endured with patience until the appropriate opportunity for action arises.
Such endurance requires a pure mind. A mind filled with anger, fear, ego, or constant complaint finds acceptance almost impossible. As the mind becomes purified through regular Chivality practice, endurance naturally develops, making Divine Permission possible.
Divine Intelligence
Divine Intelligence is expressed through simplicity, clarity, and right discrimination.
Human beings often carry far more than they actually need—not only material possessions but also unnecessary desires, attachments, opinions, fears, resentments, and ambitions. Every unnecessary burden consumes mental energy.
A mountain climber never reaches the summit by carrying unnecessary weight. Before the climb becomes steeper, the climber carefully keeps only what is essential. By reducing the load, the journey becomes lighter and safer.
Life follows the same principle.
Divine Intelligence teaches us to sacrifice what is unnecessary and preserve only what is truly essential. This sacrifice is not a loss but a liberation. As unnecessary burdens are dropped, the mind becomes lighter, clearer, and more available to receive the presence of Chivam.
A tree sheds its old leaves not because they are worthless, but because new growth requires space. In the same way, spiritual growth often requires us to let go of what no longer serves our higher purpose.
The Natural Progression
These three principles form a natural sequence in the spiritual journey.
Divine Perception teaches us to see life through the wisdom of Divine Intelligence rather than through the limitations of the personal mind.
Divine Permission gives us the strength to accept every situation with endurance, patience, and inner balance.
Divine Intelligence guides us to simplify our lives by sacrificing the unnecessary and preserving only the essential.
Together, these three transform the practitioner from within.
Perception changes our understanding.
Permission changes our attitude.
Intelligence changes our way of living.
As these three mature through regular practice of Chivality, the mind gradually becomes silent, the heart becomes lighter, and life begins to flow in harmony with the all-pervading intelligence of Chivam.
When the human mind stops insisting on its own limited view and aligns itself with Divine Intelligence, life is no longer experienced as a struggle against circumstances. Instead, it becomes a journey of awareness, acceptance, simplicity, and inner freedom.
9) Mouna Mantapa – A Place to Experience Rest in Peace While Living
Every human being is searching for peace. The ways may differ, but the destination is the same.
Some seek peace through wealth, some through relationships, some through entertainment, and many through spiritual journeys. It is not surprising that people travel thousands of kilometres to the Himalayas, sacred temples, monasteries, or remote forests. Why do they leave the comfort of their homes and undertake difficult journeys?
The answer is simple. They are not searching for the mountains; they are searching for peace.
If peace could be purchased with money, the richest people would be the most peaceful. If peace came through achievements, every successful person would be completely satisfied. Yet we find that even those who possess everything still continue to search for something more.
That "something more" is inner peace.
The body itself teaches us an important spiritual lesson. No matter how delicious the food we eat, how luxurious the house we live in, or how expensive the bed we own, the body eventually demands rest. Sleep is unavoidable. There is no substitute for it.
Likewise, the mind also needs rest. Unfortunately, the mind does not sleep as easily as the body. Even while the body is lying on a comfortable bed, the mind continues to think, imagine, remember, worry, and plan. The body may be resting, but the mind is still working.
This is the real reason why people prefer silent places. External silence gradually influences internal silence. When the surrounding disturbances reduce, the mind naturally becomes quieter.
However, silence alone is not enough. A quiet place can reduce disturbances, but it cannot completely dissolve the activities of the mind. Something more is required.
That is where Chivam energy becomes significant.
Mouna Mantapa is not merely a peaceful building. It is a spiritual field consciously created to help the human mind experience its natural state of rest through the presence of Chivam energy.
When a seeker remains in silence without unnecessary activity, the body begins to relax. As the body relaxes, the mind slowly loses its momentum. As thoughts reduce, Chivam energy works more deeply within the seeker, leading to an experience of peace that is not dependent on external circumstances.
This is the real meaning of spiritual rest.
There is an interesting expression that everyone knows—RIP: Rest in Peace.
The world uses these words after a person's physical death. But why should peace be experienced only after death? Why should we wait until the end of life to know what peace truly is?
Spirituality teaches us something far greater.
Learn to Rest in Peace while you are still alive.
When the body is at rest and the mind becomes silent, you begin to experience the same peaceful state that every soul ultimately seeks. The difference is that you experience it consciously, while living.
This is the purpose of Mouna Mantapa.
It is a place where you need not escape from life but simply pause from its constant noise. You need not travel to distant mountains because the atmosphere itself has been prepared to support your inward journey.
The greatest pilgrimage is not the distance you travel with your feet but the distance your mind travels—from restlessness to silence, from thoughts to thoughtlessness, from agitation to peace.
When the mind rests completely, it discovers its original nature.
That original nature is Chivam.
Mouna Mantapa exists to help every sincere seeker experience this truth—not as a philosophy to be believed, but as a living experience.This version presents Mouna Mantapa not just as a peaceful place, but as a destination where one can consciously experience "Rest in Peace" while living, making the analogy both philosophical and spiritually meaningful.
10) Chivam Energy and the Peaceful Dissolution of the "I"
Every human being desires a peaceful life, and almost everyone wishes for a peaceful death. The fear of death does not arise from death itself; it arises from the restless mind. It is the mind that imagines loss, separation, pain, and uncertainty. A mind filled with fear, anxiety, expectations, attachments, and negativity naturally resists death.
According to Chivality, the greatest blessing is not merely to die peacefully, but to reach such a state of inner purity that the very idea of death loses its significance.
The Divine energy of Chivam helps the seeker gradually dissolve negativity, emotional disturbances, and the false sense of individuality—the "I" or ego. As this transformation deepens, the mind becomes increasingly silent, peaceful, and free from unnecessary thoughts.
Many devotees pray to Chivam for a peaceful death. Prayer certainly expresses one's longing, but Chivam does not function by granting personal requests in the ordinary sense. Chivam is a Divine state governed by universal law. Instead of responding to emotional appeals, Chivam transforms the seeker's consciousness. When a person regularly receives Chivam energy through sincere spiritual practice, the mind slowly reaches the condition of Chivam itself.
In that state, fear cannot exist because the very source of fear—the ego and its attachments—has become weak or dissolved. Anxiety disappears because there is no longer anything to protect or possess. Worry vanishes because expectations have ended. What remains is profound peace.
A simple analogy can help us understand this.
Imagine a child sleeping peacefully in its mother's lap while travelling in a vehicle. The vehicle may pass through busy roads, sharp turns, or even reach its destination, yet the child remains completely unaware because it is in deep, restful sleep. Similarly, when the seeker abides in the state of Chivam, the transition called death may occur, but the mind remains undisturbed. There is no panic, no resistance, and no awareness of "I am dying." The transition happens naturally in complete peace.
Another analogy is that of a lamp burning in a windless room. As long as strong winds blow, the flame flickers continuously. The winds represent thoughts, fears, desires, and attachments. Chivam energy gradually removes these inner winds. When they cease, the flame becomes perfectly still. In such stillness, even when the oil is exhausted, the flame quietly goes out without struggle. Likewise, when the mind is free from negativity and agitation, death becomes a silent and natural transition.
This is why Chivam is regarded as the Lord of the death of the "I." Here, "death" does not merely refer to the end of the physical body. It primarily signifies the dissolution of the ego—the false identity that constantly says, "I," "me," and "mine." As long as this ego remains active, complete liberation is not possible. Only when the "I" dissolves into Chivam does the seeker experience the highest peace.
Therefore, the real purpose of spiritual practice is not to seek a comfortable death, but to dissolve the ego while living. When the "I" dies before the body dies, physical death loses its terror. It becomes nothing more than a natural event in the journey of existence.
The grace of Chivam is not merely to take away the fear of death; it is to remove the one who fears death. When the ego disappears, only peace remains. In that supreme peace, there is neither fear nor sorrow, neither anxiety nor expectation—only the infinite stillness of Chivam.

12) Renunciation Is Not of the World, but of Negativity
Dear Abhyasis,
Many people believe that spirituality begins only after renouncing worldly life. They think that family, profession, wealth, and society are obstacles to God-realization. This belief has led many seekers to withdraw from the world in search of peace.
But let us enquire deeply.
Is the world truly disturbing you?
If the world is the cause of disturbance, then the same situation should disturb everyone equally. But it does not. One person remains calm in a difficult situation, while another becomes anxious over a very small matter. The event is the same, yet the experience is different.
This clearly shows that the disturbance is not in the world. The disturbance is within the individual.
What is that which gets disturbed?
People generally answer, "It is the mind."
But even this is not entirely correct.
The mind is only an instrument. Just as a mirror merely reflects whatever stands before it, the mind only reflects what is present within it. The real cause of disturbance is the negative element residing in the mind.
This negative element is the root of all emotional suffering. It manifests as fear, anxiety, worry, anger, hatred, jealousy, insecurity, attachment, expectations, revenge, pride, and countless other negative qualities.
These qualities are the real bondage.
The materialistic world merely provides occasions for these qualities to express themselves.
The Dust on the Mirror
Imagine a clean mirror.
It reflects everything perfectly.
Now imagine the mirror covered with thick dust.
The mirror itself has not changed, but because of the dust, nothing appears clearly.
The dust is not part of the mirror. It only covers it.
Likewise, negativity is not the true nature of the mind. It merely covers the purity of consciousness.
Most spiritual paths attempt to avoid situations that raise the dust.
Chivality removes the dust itself.
When there is no dust, the mirror reflects perfectly wherever it is placed.
Similarly, when negativity disappears, the mind remains peaceful whether one lives in a forest, a monastery, an office, or a family.
Why Renounce the World?
Suppose a man is allergic to dust.
Instead of treating his allergy, he locks himself inside a room forever.
Has he become healthy?
No.
He has only escaped the environment.
Likewise, escaping from worldly life without dissolving negativity is not liberation. The same fears, attachments, desires, and emotions continue to exist within the individual. They simply have fewer opportunities to express themselves.
The disease remains.
Chivality treats the disease itself.
When negativity is dissolved, there is nothing left to react to the world.
The Purpose of Mouna Mantapa
Many seekers ask whether they should permanently leave their homes and stay in Mouna Mantapa.
Our answer is simple.
No.
Mouna Mantapa is not meant to become another worldly attachment.
It is an Energy Centre.
Just as a person charges a battery and then uses it in daily life, an Abhyasi comes to Mouna Mantapa to recharge with the Divine energy of Chivam.
The more one remains in the atmosphere of silence, the more Chivam energy is absorbed.
This Divine energy gradually weakens the negative element within the mind.
After receiving the energy, the Abhyasi returns home, goes to work, fulfills family responsibilities, serves society, and lives a normal life.
The difference is that the same situations which once created fear, tension, anxiety, anger, and worry gradually lose their power.
The world has not changed.
The individual has changed.
The Real Renunciation
Chivality never asks you to renounce your profession.
It never asks you to renounce your family.
It never asks you to renounce your responsibilities.
It asks you to renounce only one thing—
Negativity.
When negativity disappears, attachment naturally disappears.
Fear naturally disappears.
Hatred naturally disappears.
Anxiety naturally disappears.
There is nothing left that can create suffering.
Then you become free while continuing to live in the world.
This is true spirituality.
Liberation
Liberation is not reached by changing your address.
It is reached by changing your inner state.
You may live in a cave and still remain disturbed.
You may live amidst a busy city and remain completely peaceful.
The place does not determine liberation.
The absence of negativity determines liberation.
When the negative element has completely dissolved, the mind loses all its disturbing qualities. It becomes silent, pure, and transparent.
In that silence, only Chivam remains.
Chivam neither gets disturbed by anything nor disturbs anyone.
As Chivam energy fills your being, you also become like Chivam—peaceful, silent, fearless, and free.
That is the purpose of Chivality.
That is the purpose of Silentation.
That is the purpose of Mouna Mantapa.
And that is true liberation.
13) How to Improve the Power of Silentation – A Chivality Perspective
Silentation is not simply a practice performed for an hour in the morning or evening. It is a continuous way of living. The power of silentation is determined not only by how deeply we sit in meditation but also by how carefully we protect the purity of our mind throughout the day.
Every moment, our five senses are interacting with the external world. Whatever we see, hear, speak, touch, and experience leaves subtle impressions in the mind. These impressions become thoughts, desires, emotions, memories, and reactions. The more impressions we accumulate, the more active the mind becomes. An active mind can never easily experience silence.
Therefore, the first discipline of silentation is not to fight with thoughts but to stop feeding the mind with unnecessary impressions.
Discipline of the Eyes
The eyes are the largest entrance through which impressions enter the mind. Every unnecessary scene, every attractive object, every disturbing incident, and every meaningless visual experience leaves a subtle mark in the subconscious.
These impressions later appear as thoughts during silentation, making the practitioner believe that the mind is restless.
Therefore, use your eyes with great awareness. See only what is necessary for your life and what supports your purity. Every unnecessary sight avoided is one less disturbance created in the mind.
Analogy: If dust continuously enters a room through an open window, cleaning the room every day becomes difficult. Closing the window prevents new dust from entering. Likewise, guarding the eyes prevents unnecessary impressions from entering the mind.
Discipline of the Ears
The ears continuously receive vibrations from the world. Gossip, criticism, arguments, fear, anger, and meaningless conversations all become subtle vibrations stored in the mind.
During silentation these vibrations return as thoughts.
Therefore, learn the art of selective listening. Listen to wisdom. Listen to truth. Listen to what elevates your consciousness. Avoid listening to anything that strengthens negativity.
The quieter the ears become, the quieter the mind becomes.
Discipline of Speech
Speech is not merely communication; it is an expenditure of mental energy.
Every unnecessary word strengthens the activity of the mind. Idle talk, arguments, criticism, and excessive conversation create new mental impressions and fresh disturbances.
Speak only when necessary.
Speak only when asked.
Speak only what is truthful, beneficial, and compassionate.
Silence conserves spiritual energy. Conserved energy becomes the strength behind deeper silentation.
Analogy: A reservoir retains its strength because its water is preserved. If water continuously flows out through many openings, the reservoir can never become full. Likewise, unnecessary speech drains the spiritual energy required for silentation.
Protecting the Purity of the Mind
The purpose of sensory discipline is not suppression. It is protection.
A pure mind is one that receives fewer unnecessary impressions.
The fewer the impressions, the fewer the thoughts.
The fewer the thoughts, the greater the silence.
The greater the silence, the nearer one comes to Chivam.
Expanding the Inner Silence
Silentation gradually replaces mental activity with silence.
This silence is not emptiness. It is living consciousness.
It is Chivam.
Every sincere practice allows this Divine Silence to occupy more space within the mind. Gradually, negativity loses its strength. Thoughts become weaker. Reactions disappear. The ego slowly dissolves.
Silence begins to shine from within.
Alignment with the Universal Silence
The silence experienced within is not different from the silence that pervades the entire universe.
The universe exists in perfect silence. Chivam is that Infinite Universal Silence.
Our individual silence is like a small space enclosed within a pot, while Universal Silence is like the infinite sky. The pot appears to separate the two, but the space inside and outside has always been one. When the pot breaks, no union is created—it simply reveals the unity that already existed.
Similarly, the human mind is the pot created by accumulated impressions, thoughts, ego, and negativity.
Silentation gradually dissolves this pot.
As the boundaries of the mind disappear, the inner silence naturally becomes one with the Universal Silence.
This is Yoga.
Yoga is not the joining of two different realities. It is the realization that the individual has never been separate from the Universal.
Liberation
When the individual silence completely aligns with Universal Silence, there remains no fear, no anxiety, no attachment, no mental disturbance, and no sense of separateness.
One lives in the world but is untouched by the world.
One acts without inner disturbance.
One loves without attachment.
One serves without expectation.
This is true liberation.
Therefore, improving the power of silentation is not a matter of increasing the duration of meditation. It is a matter of reducing the unnecessary activity of the senses throughout daily life.
Guard your eyes.
Guard your ears.
Guard your speech.
Protect the purity of the mind.
Allow silence to grow.
As silence expands, Chivam reveals itself. When the silence within becomes one with the Infinite Universal Silence, the journey ends—not in darkness, but in the boundless light of liberation.
14) What is Divinity or Chivam?
Divinity, or Chivam, is the pure intelligence that exists behind all creation. It is not merely knowledge acquired through the intellect, but the very source of intelligence that guides and sustains everything in the universe. It is the silent wisdom that functions without thoughts, words, or emotions.
Everything in creation contains this Divine presence. Every atom, every plant, every animal, every planet, and every human being carries the spark of Divinity. However, among all living beings, the expression of Divinity is greatest in the human being because only a human has the capacity to consciously realize and unite with it.
Although Divinity is already present within us, it remains hidden behind layers of mental negativity, desires, fears, attachments, and ego. Just as the sun is always shining but becomes invisible behind dark clouds, Chivam is ever-present within us but is concealed by the impurities of the mind.
According to Chivality, this hidden Divinity is awakened through the grace and transmission of a Divine Master. The Master does not create Divinity within us; He simply awakens what already exists. Just as one lamp lights another lamp without losing its own flame, the awakened consciousness of the Master ignites the dormant Divinity in the disciple.
Once awakened, Divinity begins to expand both within and beyond the individual. As it expands, the darkness of negativity gradually disappears. Fear reduces, anger weakens, jealousy fades, selfishness diminishes, and the mind becomes increasingly peaceful and pure. This transformation is not imagination but a direct inner experience.
An excellent analogy is that of a balloon. Imagine the human mind as a balloon filled with dark smoke representing negativity. As pure air is continuously pumped into the balloon, the dark smoke is gradually forced out. Likewise, when Chivam expands within us, Divine energy naturally pushes out negativity without struggle.
Another analogy is a room that has remained closed for many years. Darkness fills the room, not because darkness has substance, but because light is absent. The moment a lamp is lit, darkness disappears instantly. Similarly, negativity has no independent existence. It is merely the absence of awakened Divinity.
The expansion of Divinity must continue until the individual consciousness merges with the all-pervading Universal Divinity. Like a river flowing towards the ocean, every soul naturally longs to return to its original source. The river has its own name and identity only until it reaches the ocean. Once merged, it loses its separate identity and becomes the ocean itself.
During this inward journey, the human ego gradually dissolves. The ego creates the imaginary feeling of "I am the doer," "I possess," "I know," and "I am separate." This imaginary "I" is the greatest obstacle between the individual and Chivam.
As negativity disappears, the ego loses its foundation. Finally, when the ego completely vanishes, the imaginary "I" also disappears. What remains is the true ME—the Divine Presence that has always existed. This Divine ME is not an individual personality but a direct expression of Universal Chivam.
This is the state where the individual no longer lives as a separate being but as an instrument of Universal Intelligence. Thoughts become fewer, silence becomes natural, and life flows effortlessly under Divine guidance.
When Divinity expands beyond the boundaries of the individual, it begins to radiate into the surrounding environment. Just as the fragrance of a flower spreads naturally without effort, or the warmth of a fire reaches everyone nearby, awakened Divinity silently influences those around it.
People whose minds carry less negativity become naturally receptive to this Divine radiation. Without knowing why, they feel attracted, inspired, peaceful, and willing to extend help during times of need. Their response is not merely emotional or social; it is the resonance of Divinity recognizing Divinity.
This is why a realized Master attracts seekers from all walks of life. It is not personality, wealth, or position that draws people. It is the invisible radiation of Chivam.
The ultimate purpose of Chivality is therefore not merely to gain peace or solve worldly problems. Its highest goal is to awaken the hidden Divinity, purify the mind through Silentation, dissolve the ego completely, and unite the individual Divine with the Infinite Universal Chivam.
When this union is complete, there is no individual "I." There is only Chivam—Pure Intelligence, Pure Silence, Pure Peace, and Infinite Existence.This version follows the philosophy of Chivality while adding analogies and a logical flow that makes the concepts easier to understand for both new seekers and regular practitioners.
15) What is Chivam?
Chivam is the highest state of non-disturbance in the universe. It is the state where no mental agitation, suffering, or negativity remains. It is absolute peace, absolute purity, and absolute bliss.
According to Chivality, every human being experiences disturbances in the mind. These disturbances appear as fear, anger, jealousy, anxiety, hatred, greed, attachment, worry, pride, guilt, and countless other negative tendencies. Even emotional reactions and mental fluctuations are forms of disturbance because they continuously move the mind away from its natural state of stillness.
The practice of Silentation gradually removes these disturbances. As negativity diminishes, the mind becomes quieter. Thoughts become fewer, emotions lose their intensity, and the practitioner begins to experience inner peace. With continued practice, the mind becomes increasingly stable until it reaches a state of complete non-disturbance. This supreme state is called Chivam.
Suffering itself is also a disturbance. A disturbed mind experiences pain, whereas a peaceful mind remains unaffected by circumstances. Therefore, Chivality does not merely aim to reduce suffering; it aims to remove the very cause of suffering by eliminating negativity.
Understanding Ego
Ego itself is not the disturbance. Rather, the ego becomes disturbed because it identifies with negativity.
Ego is simply the sense of "I" that functions as the leader or coordinator of the mind. It exists in both positive and negative conditions.
When negativity dominates the mind, the ego becomes negative ego. It expresses itself through superiority, inferiority, selfishness, anger, possessiveness, pride, and the constant desire to defend itself.
When positivity grows, the same ego becomes positive ego. It begins to express kindness, humility, responsibility, compassion, and service.
Thus, ego is like the driver of a vehicle. If the vehicle carries harmful passengers, the driver serves them. If the vehicle carries noble passengers, the same driver serves them instead. The driver itself is not the problem; the quality of those it serves determines its expression.
During the journey of Chivality, the negative ego gradually weakens because negativity is continuously reduced through Silentation. Since negative ego has been strengthened over many years by habits and impressions, it is naturally more active and powerful than positive ego in most human beings. Regular practice slowly reverses this condition.
The Purpose of Chivality
The purpose of Chivality is a complete transformation of consciousness.
The first transformation is from negative to positive.
The second transformation is from positive to Divine.
A positive mind is certainly better than a negative one, but it still operates in duality. It still knows pleasure and pain, success and failure, praise and criticism, though it is less disturbed by them.
Only when even this duality dissolves does the practitioner enter the Divine state known as Chivam.
Duality and Divinity
Even a perfectly pure mind continues to perceive differences in the material world. It knows what is right and wrong, beneficial and harmful, permanent and temporary. This discriminative wisdom is called Viveka.
However, although Divine intellect recognizes these differences, it is never disturbed by them.
A mirror reflects every object placed before it, yet it never becomes stained by the objects it reflects. Likewise, the Divine intellect understands everything but remains untouched by what it understands.
Another analogy is the vast sky. Birds fly across it, clouds gather and disappear, storms arise and pass away, yet the sky itself remains unchanged. In the same way, Chivam remains undisturbed regardless of the changing experiences of the world.
Or consider the deep ocean. The surface may have waves, but in the depths there is complete stillness. Ordinary consciousness lives on the surface, constantly affected by every wave. Chivam is like the silent depth of the ocean, where nothing disturbs the eternal peace.
The Experience of Chivam
In ordinary life, the mind continuously experiences differences and reacts to them with likes and dislikes. Every reaction creates disturbance.
In the Divine state, differences may still be understood, but they are no longer emotionally experienced. The Divine does not become attached, offended, excited, fearful, or sorrowful.
It remains established in its own natural bliss.
Therefore, Chivam is not unconsciousness or indifference. It is perfect awareness without disturbance, perfect knowledge without attachment, perfect action without egoistic ownership, and perfect existence without suffering.
This is the ultimate goal of Chivality—to transform the human mind from negativity into positivity, from positivity into Divinity, and finally to establish the practitioner permanently in the highest state of non-disturbance, eternal peace, and bliss known as Chivam.
16) Chapter 5: Diary Writing – A Path to Constant Remembrance of the Master
One of the simplest yet most powerful practices in Chivality is spiritual diary writing. It is not meant to record what happened during the day. Instead, it is a method of maintaining continuous remembrance of the Master in every action of life.
Most people remember God or the Master only during prayer or meditation. Once they return to their daily activities, the remembrance gradually fades, and the mind becomes occupied with worldly thoughts. Diary writing bridges this gap. It transforms every activity into an opportunity to remember the Master.
How to Write the Diary
Before beginning any work, write a simple sentence addressed to the Master.
For example:
- Master, I am going to the market to buy vegetables.
- Master, I am going to prepare today's lunch.
- Master, I am going to wash my clothes.
- Master, I am going to my office.
- Master, I am going to teach my students.
- Master, I am going to give medicines to my parents.
- Master, I am going to help my children with their studies.
- Master, I am going to attend today's Chivsangh.
The sentences need not be long or complicated. The purpose is not literary excellence but sincere remembrance.
Why Should We Write Before Every Activity?
Whenever we consciously inform the Master before beginning an activity, our mind naturally remembers Him. This remembrance slowly changes our attitude.
Instead of thinking, "This is my work," the feeling becomes, "I am performing this work for the Master."
This subtle change has a profound effect on the mind. The ego loses its dominance, and the sense of burden gradually decreases. The work remains the same, but the person performing it becomes calmer and more peaceful.
How Obstacles Reduce
Many obstacles arise not because the work itself is difficult but because the mind is disturbed. Anxiety, fear, irritation, confusion, impatience and unnecessary expectations interfere with our actions.
When the Master is remembered before beginning the work, the mind becomes steadier. As inner disturbance reduces, many difficulties that were created by the disturbed mind also begin to reduce. Decisions become clearer, relationships improve, and work progresses more smoothly.
The remembrance of the Master does not necessarily remove every external challenge, but it helps transform the way we face those challenges.
Analogy of a Child Holding the Father's Hand
A small child may hesitate to walk through a crowded street alone. The same child walks confidently when holding the father's hand.
The road has not changed. The crowd has not disappeared. The difference is the feeling of protection and guidance.
Similarly, when every activity begins with remembrance of the Master, we experience the inner confidence that we are not alone. This confidence brings peace and stability.
Analogy of an Electrical Connection
An electric bulb has the ability to produce light, but it cannot shine unless it is connected to electricity.
Likewise, human beings possess intelligence, skills and strength, but when the mind remains disconnected from the Divine, it becomes weakened by negativity and disturbances.
Remembering the Master through diary writing is like connecting the mind to Divine energy. The connection brings clarity, steadiness and inner strength.
From Occasional Remembrance to Continuous Remembrance
Initially, diary writing may feel like a discipline.
Gradually, it becomes a habit.
Finally, it becomes a natural state in which remembrance of the Master continues even without writing.
At that stage, every action becomes an offering, every moment becomes spiritual practice, and daily life itself becomes a path toward Chivam.
Conclusion
Never think that any work is too ordinary to mention in your diary. Whether you are cooking, cleaning, travelling, working in an office, caring for your family, or attending spiritual activities, every action can become sacred when performed in remembrance of the Master.
A diary written in this spirit is not merely a notebook. It is a silent conversation with the Master. Through this continuous remembrance, the mind gradually becomes purified, negativity diminishes, and the practitioner progresses steadily on the path of Chivality.This chapter can be followed by a practical chapter titled "108 Daily Diary Entries for Constant Remembrance of the Master," containing examples for almost every daily activity. It would help practitioners adopt the diary-writing practice with ease.
