SILENTATION ITS INFLUENCE ON HUMAN PERCEPTIONS

     Spiritual training is essential so that every aspect of our life begins to gradually unfurl from a non material , sublime and ever present dimension called the spirit . In sharp contrast , ordinary human beings are solely driven by a materialistic and transitory outlook of life , and are therefore disturbed by passing desires , generally unpredictable nature of life events , and negative attitudes in their fellow human beings like jealousy , competition , prejudice , hatred , dislike.etc.

      Spirituality attempts to transform ordinary human perceptions into the essential dimension of the spirit . Most of us are occasionally disturbed because of tension , anxieties , worries , stress and fear It is caused due to the overwhelming set of expectations and desires we create for ourselves . We are also aware that many events in our life and the world - at - large simply happens without any apparent cause ,and we therefore can't have real control over it . As a result , we only strive to fulfill some of our material desires , and let others automatically turn into disappointments . The cumulative effect of such disappointments and failures can disturb us , and gradually lead us towards depression , and in some extreme cases also manifest as suicidal tendencies . A critical and an immensely useful insight we gather by observing such recurring events is our tendency to encapsulate every form of success or failure by material perception alone , and suffer if the material results don't properly align with our perception . 

     In the course of the silentation training imparted within NC , our minds are continuously cleansed through transmission of purity residing in the ever - expanding dimension of the spirit . The perceived weight and pressure of living a material existence naturally tapers - off . As the human mind is cleared from constant pre - occupation with material desires and from it's relentless need to control events in the outer world , it becomes increasingly alive to experience and express life fully , while remaining totally unaffected by the perpetual flow of events in this material dimension . 

     Material perspective ( negative ego ) of life remains largely dominant and functions in us , as long as we compulsively go after self - esteem , respect , power , and position , or have a compelling desire to amass movable and immovable items of luxury . This thought process gains immense momentum . if we believe that societies would naturally give us greater respect and social status only if we are in possession of such materials , and not otherwise . It is therefore not surprising if some of us take to fair or unfair means to achieve this objective , and thereby enjoy comforts offered by the society . 

      It must be clearly noted that all sense of possession we claim over materials is purely psychosomatic , and is strictly confined to the narrow connections we manage to stitch within our minds . Such perspectives disturb our minds and take us away from natural abidance in peace , as we erroneously seek a sense of lasting identity through various material associations . However , through sustained practice , our minds can be easily purged off such self - imposed mental limitations , resulting in a harmonious and undisturbed mental condition called as peace . 

     Spirit inside the human being radiates this peace . If any one is able to activate and expand this spirit in the mind , the mind loses all the impurities gathered through various material perceptions , and attains to lasting peace . This peaceful condition of the spirit will remain undisturbed and alive in us , even if we engage in complex transactions in the world . The unbroken experience of such peace results in a condition of detached attachment towards the material world and all of our desires which could have otherwise resulted in disappointments is naturally emptied from the mind. 

     Real spiritual training can give the practitioner peace and courage to live in this material world without being disturbed by it internally . Such people can face all disappointments and failures with courage and will not crave for position , power , possession or material things . At the very least , it brings enduring peace to the practitioners , whether they live with material comforts or not.

      The training must be supported and guided by a real master of caliber who can transmit his peaceful condition to the practitioners along with purity , NC practitioners who are diligent in their practice and have faith in the Master can begin to slowly perceive all of life as a reflection of the one benevolent spirit . This will infuse their lives with abundant peace and harmony and any event in the material world would no longer control or disturb them. Dictation by Master - 2009

UTILISATION OF DIVINE ENERGY

Master's message in NC Souvenir - 12th July 2009

      The entire creation has emerged from energy called " Nothing " or " Vacuum " . This energy has got tremendous power to create and destroy on its own . This power is utilized by the energy from time to time to create new species and elements . This energy of the ultimate has no mind and form.

      Every object or clement in this universe comes with its individual set of properties . It functions the way it is designed to without any intervention from mind or intelligence . Changing the property of an element is very difficult and is not natural also . Every element created by this ultimate energy has its own property and the destroyer of these properties is also controlled by this energy only. 

     Like the above elements , the Ultimate energy has its own properties . Only advanced saints who have realized the Ultimate have acquired intuitive and intricate knowledge of its properties . This energy is also called as Universal spirit's energy A speck of this energy is also available in every living and non - living creature . In living creatures , particularly in human beings , this speck has the intrinsic potential to fully expand and merge itself with the energy of the universal spirit . 

     This ever expanding universal spirit is abundantly available within the NC Master Wise men have discovered that Love is the best medium through which anyone can draw this energy from the personalities who possess this energy sufficiently . This love carries the inherent power to draw the energy to the lover's heart. 

     The more anyone loves the Master unconditionally , the more he gets the energy from the Master . This is the energy which gives Peace , Courage , Love , Truth , Wisdom and Righteousness to the receiver. If the recipient is able to give maximum freedom to the Master's energy , it works on its own . It cannot be controlled by Human beings nor does it function on the command of a Human being. 

     For a spiritual person there is no personal demand or prayer towards the NC Master and he is prepared to accept anything decided by his Energy . The faith in the Master is sufficient that whatever is done by the Master is always for his own good . This way , Master's energy is allowed to function on its own , and the extent of energy obtained by the practitioner will remain as it is , as it never gets dissipated unless human ego intervenes in its workings.

      However , people who are solely dependent upon success in Material life instead of on making progress on the spiritual path can also approach Master and utilize his energy through their prayers But the fruits depend upon the energy available in the pleader . Prayer and submission towards this energy may give some results provided the pleader has got sufficient energy within . This subtle and infinite energy is converted to gross and finite form when utilized through prayers for fulfillment of one's personal desires . It thereby gets reduced to the extent of utilization and again the receiver has to do Thapas or practice to replenish his energy through transmission from the Master . 

     If anyone is not utilizing this Divine energy received from the Master for his own requirement but continues to expand this energy through unconditional Love , he gradually progresses to the highest Spiritual State . If the dependency on the Master is true , he never demands anything from the Master , while Master takes care of everything from time to time depending upon the need . His protection is again dependent upon the energy that he has received from his Master through the medium of Love. 

Social Reformation through Individual Transformation

Master's message in NC Souvenir - 12th July 2009

     In spite of living in a technologically advanced world , every one of us has had to experience suffering in one form or the other . Most of us have had to suffer from our own creed , i.e. human beings . In fact , a vast section of humanity is aware that we remain the sole perpetrators of events leading to catastrophic results for ourselves and to this beautiful planet . However , this awareness has not yet awakened us to the value of seeking and finding peace and harmony within ourselves . We therefore continue with our struggle to push for arbitrary and isolated changes in the society to shield our lives from disturbances.

     In a society of human beings in unending pursuit of various material goals , constant changes are bound to occur around us knowingly or unknowingly . If these goals serve to uplift our collective human spirit , they can be considered evolutionary as they lead us away from suffering . Otherwise , our minds will perpetuate narrow goals that are continually in conflict , and the resulting changes will naturally result in imbalances and suffering .

      Today's world consists of people with overwhelming stream of desires and self - centeredness . This creates a lot of disturbances in others , as everyone is driven to achieve through the aid of competitive mentality. The moment competition surfaces , only a few succeed and others stand to fail . In steady non - acceptance of such failures , their positive qualities are gradually effaced . When they feel success is far away , the positive qualities in them get converted into negative tendencies , and such people acquire tremendous strength to fight with the achievers. 

     However , if we have limited amount of material desires , our negative qualities can be effectively reduced . This is because , our competitive nature , which potentially results in formation of such tendencies , can more easily be curbed due to our non - attachment with material things and achievements . It is impossible that everybody can become rich in this universe because that is related to our unique capacity for hard work , education , knowledge and a small amount of help we obtain from within , most often without our knowledge. 

     In so taking note of the predominant quality driving the human psyche , we can find that it tends to overtly border on the negative . We are rarely inspired by positive incidents shaping our world , but are often anxious and never miss a chance to be well informed of negative events . This is because we attempt to derive happiness by seeing others suffer , presumably those who are not attached to us . Further , we have learnt to avoid the larger impact of such negative incidents , unless it happens to ourselves or to those we identify as our close friends and relatives .

      So , our perceptions should be re - shaped to accept evolutionary thoughts and changes . We should create a strong human mind capable of re - vitalizing our lives with positive qualities , whilst at the same time remaining un - deterred by negative tendencies . Although some human beings basically carry negative tendencies , they also have some positive qualities in them . No human being is fully negative . It is only the negative qualities in us that disturb others . 

     In religion , there are some methods for purification of mind . But in spite of religion's long and arduous trial to convert human beings to become positive , results are barely encouraging . Probably the methods are not yielding results to our current expectations , as they may be time - consuming and thereby unsuitable for a modern society , which is driven by busy work schedules . Or , they may have naturally lost the appeal due to the phenomenal changes that have occurred to modern human psychology since the times these techniques were originally introduced . Every method should be apt to the times we live in and religions should therefore remain sensitive and equipped to update their methods accordingly . 

     Many of us believe in existence of god , and take that power to be fully positive . If we manage to step beyond such belief structures , and directly perceive this inner power through the aid of sustained mental effort , we can come to the experience of godliness within us . This experience brings about perceptual and irreversible shifts to the thought patterns and naturally restores our positive side . Thereafter , this activated energy inside us becomes so empowered that the negative side no longer finds a place . In fact , this positive side is potentially available within every human being . In Nisargatheetha Chetana ( NC ) , we call this power radiating from within as the " inner power " or the spirit . 

     Activating the spirit within is little difficult as it requires abundant purity of mind . This purity can't be hired or purchased because it is a non - material thing . It is produced in a still mind where thoughts have vanished . If anyone has succeeded in finding a human mind of this caliber , he can get connected to him and obtain the same purity in abundance by having unconditional love towards this personality .

      Living in a materialistic society , most of us continue with our struggle to bring more comforts into our lives , and we experience constant fear of undergoing difficulties and pain , when deprived of them . But , a human being who dwells in the spirit lives without the incessant control of such desires and anxieties , and is forever relieved of all fear about pain and suffering . He has transcended these conditions of mind through positive efforts and never allows life circumstances to overpower him . This is the real shift in the attitude of a person whose spirit is activated . 

     This shift is possible for every human being provided he is prepared to undertake the journey until the final destination is reached . Once , anyone starts getting the regular flow of purity from an advanced human being who is an embodiment of love , the receiver gets the same strength and becomes fully positive . If we become fully positive , most of the problems in the society can be solved and we can build a better humanity without needing to disturb each other.

     Empowering the spirit and reducing the negative ego of human beings is the training imparted within NC . In this training , our beloved Master activates the inner spirit in the trainee , whereby he acquires the extraordinary courage to face problems of life and gets the wisdom from within to find suitable solutions . All these solutions will be non - disturbing to others and he becomes the leader of the society in understanding others concerns and meeting their needs.

      Through this training , we gain immense confidence in all aspects of our life , irrespective of the previous failures or setbacks . We become true assets to the society and acquire the ability to counsel others during bad times with utmost clarity , confidence and courage . This can gradually bring about paradigm and evolutionary shifts in the workings of human consciousness. 

     If the society is supported by such positive personalities , all the negative thoughts prevailing in rest of us can be gradually effaced . As members of such an enlightened society , we can bring peace and solace , while our children can live in this world without the sense of fear and anxiety.

Message from Master

     Man is full of desires is living in this world only to fulfill them . He has not yet become open to the possibility of living without the incessant flow of desires . Yes , all human beings can become free of desires and yet remain imbued with peace and happiness throughout their lives . 

     Religions cannot give enduring freedom to human beings as it creates a tension in them by inducing fear of reprisal , if they fail to adhere to suggested methods . Religious obstinacy thereby succeeds in taking human beings away from living peacefully and happily . Though a few religious beads have advocated cessation of one's desires through performance of various authorities , ordinary material people are unable to easily realize the essence contained in such utterances. 

     However , spirituality leads us to the direct experience of peace and freedom without the bondages of religion and cult . All of us are not attached to any religion when we take birth but are forced to adopt it through our parents and immediate society.

      Further spirituality as practiced in NC leads to a scientific understanding and experience of mental purity. This purity alone enhances the quality of our lives and brings us to an intimate , unbroken and direct experience of innate peace residing in the non - material realm of the spirit , and available within every human being . Through continuous process of expanding this spirit within , human beings can be completely relieved from the clutches of religion , which has erroneously divided all of humanity in the name of holy books and saints. 

     This practice bring peace and freedom to the practitioner by purifying their mind , so that all positive qualities desirable in a human bring issue forth through them . Once anyone becomes a positive personality , he attains lasting peace and freedom within , without being carried away from any outside interference . This purity has to be gained first to attain an advanced spiritual condition which restores internal peace and happiness .

     Purity cannot be made available easily from materials or any other source . A living Master is a must for this purpose whose entire life is committed to loving others so that people can live happily by utilizing HIS transmission of divine purity and energy . Loving HIM is the simple thing which is required of practitioners for their spiritual evolution as well as for acquiring peace and prosperity in their material life . 

     Such a Master is truly an embodiment of a human being living in perfect alignment and accord with Nature . Following HIS discipline can thereby make anyone the best disciple , and Nature cannot work against such a practitioner . Your lovingly , Sri Subrahmanya Shiva Balan
