1) Dear abhyasis,

The metaphor of the ocean and its inhabitants beautifully illustrates the nature of attachment and its impact on spiritual growth. Just as water animals cannot survive outside their natural habitat, humans, deeply attached to the materialistic world, find it difficult to transcend to a higher spiritual realm. This attachment binds them to the cycle of life and death, causing discomfort and disturbance, even after physical death.

True liberation lies in understanding the difference between using the material world for sustenance and becoming attached to it. The feeling of possession, though comforting in the short term, can lead to immense suffering if carried beyond life.

The goal of spiritual practice is to release these attachments, enabling us to move from the transient world of samsara (the cycle of birth and rebirth) to the permanent and peaceful state of the spiritual realm. By detaching ourselves from materialistic desires and focusing on our spiritual journey, we can make our lives and beyond more meaningful and harmonious.

Samsara Sagara, the ocean of worldly existence, reminds us of the importance of transcending the waves of attachment and finding solace in the spiritual shore.

1) Message from the Divine World to Humanity

O human beings,

You inherently belong to the Divine World. You were never meant to take birth in the materialistic world.

However, as humans, you find yourselves here, caught in the cycle of worldly existence. You endure unnecessary suffering, even though your true essence is divine. You experience feelings, emotions, and desires, and mistakenly believe that you are a permanent part of this material world.

In truth, you are only guests or visitors in this temporary realm, as your origins lie in the Divine World.

A truly divine being possesses no negative qualities. Divine beings neither cause suffering nor endure it.

Yet, as humans, you have adopted negativity, leading to unnecessary pain. It is now time to realize your true nature—that you are a divine personality.

How to Realize Your Divine Nature

To rediscover your divine essence, you must cleanse yourself of all impurities, which we call negativity. To do so, you need access to a supreme divine energy capable of negating your negativity.

At SSBSSF (Sat Sri Subrahmanya Shiva Balan Spiritual Foundation), we are blessed with this Supreme Divine Energy through our revered Master, Sat Sri Subrahmanya Shiva Balan. This energy can guide you on your journey back to divinity.

The practice of Silentation is taught here to help reduce and eliminate negativity. Through sincere and dedicated practice, you will gradually shed negative qualities and experience the divinity within.

Over time, this practice can help you progress from being a divine personality (Atman) to becoming super-divine (Brahman), and ultimately, the Supreme Divine (Chivam).

If this message resonates with you and you are ready to embark on this transformative journey, we invite you to contact us.

Let us help you awaken your true divine self.

1) Dear Abhyasis,

You, as the Atman or soul, are currently in an impure state, but you hold the potential to transform into a pure state. The impure mind seeks peace, while the pure mind is inherently peaceful and no longer requires it. Understand that you and the mind are one.

As long as impurities persist, you remain attached to the materialistic world. A pure mind, however, naturally seeks to detach from these worldly bonds. These impurities manifest as thoughts, and it is through the remembrance of the Master that these thoughts begin to dissolve.

When thoughts disappear, you experience a state of blankness in the mind. This blankness is not emptiness—it is the manifestation of the Master's pure energy, which resonates with the Divine energy already within you. This is the emergence of your pure soul.

During moments of blankness, your divine energy becomes active and begins an internal cleansing process, often without your conscious awareness. If you feel a sense of lightness and peacefulness after entering this state of Silence, it is a clear sign that your mind has been cleansed.

In this state of blankness, your divine energy gains the power to purify your mind further. When you reach a point where blankness arises without the need for the Master’s form, it signifies that you are becoming divine in essence.

Complete Mano Nasha—the dissolution of the mind—occurs only when you are fully divine. At that point, when you exist without the limitations of the mind, you transcend into Chivam, the ultimate state of being.

This journey from impurity to purity, from mind to divinity, is the path to realizing your true self.

With blessings for your spiritual progress,

2) ---

We know that God is one. It is well-established that God possesses the attributes of being omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient. Interestingly, these qualities are inherent in space itself.

Human beings also carry an element of space within them—this is the human mind. However, unlike the divine space, the human mind does not naturally exhibit these three attributes. Why is this so?

The reason lies in the impurities and negativity that inhabit the human mind. These impurities act as barriers, preventing the mind from aligning with the qualities of God. If one succeeds in purging these impurities, the mind can potentially resonate with the divine.

In essence, the mind represents a form of the soul—space tainted by impurities. The process of Mano Nasha, or dissolution of the mind, involves removing these impurities and transforming the mind into its purest form: the Atman.

The Atman transcends the limitations of the human mind. When the mind evolves into Atman, it attains a state of divinity. Divinity, or the essence of the Divine, is characterized by the absence of thoughts, complete purity, and stillness.

The Atman, a spark of Brahman (the universal consciousness), can then ascend further to the state of Chivam. Chivam represents the ultimate condition of human evolution—a state that is ever-pervading, infinite, and beyond the spatial limitations of the earthly plane.

While there may be multiple manifestations of Brahman, Chivam is singular and absolute. Attaining Chivam is the ultimate goal of human existence, where one transcends individuality and merges with the eternal, unified consciousness.

This journey—from the impure mind to the pure Atman and ultimately to Chivam—is the essence of spiritual evolution and self-realization.

3) ---

Dear Abhyasis,

When you transcend your impure mind and evolve into a pure mind or Divine state, your desires naturally dissolve. It is the mind that shapes your way of life. As long as your life aligns with your desires, you may experience happiness.

However, once you become a Pure Atman or Divine, your way of life undergoes a profound transformation. In this state, happiness—being fleeting and temporary—gives way to eternal peace. Divine peace is unchanging and far beyond the temporary nature of worldly happiness.

Mano Nasha, the complete dissolution of the mind, is only possible after you become Divine. In this state, there is no mind, only the infinite and eternal presence of the Divine.

Embrace this journey from impermanence to eternity, from desires to peace, and from the mind to the Divine.

With blessings for your spiritual progress,

🙏

Abhyasi- Why is it not "Becoming Divine after Manonasa" but the other way around?

Master-Divine doesn't require mind. The mind becomes a hurdle for the divine to transcend further to Chivam, the supreme divine.

Abhyasi- Initially, with the help of Master's Energy, after temporary Blankness (mind cleansed at a surface level) is achieved, it is stated here that internal cleaning begins with the help of inherent Divine Energy. 

Then, would this cleaning not disrupt the Blankness again by giving disturbance?

Master- You never know anything during internal cleaning. You will be experiencing only the calmness.

Abhyasi - We never go to Blankness during times other than Silentation. 

What happens during the remembrance of the Master at other times? I know that it tries to dissolve thinking/thoughts. But is it effective? Mind is continuously and partially given somewhere else.

Master- It's better to experience and tell. Everything has to be experienced. Too much analysis can't reduce thinking and thoughts. Leave it. Try to get blankness first and continue your journey further.

1) Dear Abhyasis,

It is with a heavy heart that I write to you, as I am unable to meet you at Mouna Mantapa due to spiritual reasons.

The physical absence of the Master is a test of our faith and dedication. It is an opportunity to deepen our love, strengthen our resolve, and cultivate an unwavering connection with Him through remembrance. This absence is not a loss but a call to draw closer to the Master's essence.

The responsibility of the institution now rests upon your shoulders. With the Master's energy as your guiding force, you must unite and rise to the occasion. It is imperative that you come together as one Sangha, spreading His philosophy and teachings to the world with unyielding determination.

Understand this: the Master's vision is not simply to create individual practitioners but to build a powerful, united Sangha that can carry forward His work. The success or failure of this vision depends on you, the practitioners. A weak or fragmented Sangha would mean failing in your duty to the Master and His mission.

Do not allow the challenges of the present to deter you. Instead, channel them into strength and action. Follow the Master's instructions with absolute discipline, preserve the existing practitioners, and attract new ones to the fold. The Master's legacy depends on your unwavering commitment and collective effort.

This is not the time for hesitation or despair. Rise, act, and fulfill the divine purpose entrusted to you. Together, with the Master's energy as your foundation, you will succeed in realizing His vision.

I place my full faith in you and your ability to uphold this sacred responsibility.

With blessings and strength,

🙏

2) RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE MASTER AND THE ABHYASIS:-

 This profound perspective outlines the dynamic relationship between a spiritual institution, its Master, and the practitioners within. Here's a structured interpretation.

 Role of the Master:

The spiritual progress of an institution depends upon the spiritual growth of its Master.

Spiritual growth transcends knowledge and is marked by shifts in perception—reduced attachments, responsibilities, and a diminishing sense of belongingness.

A true Master evolves to the point where even spirituality feels like a limitation, often leading to their withdrawal or retirement.

Impact on Practitioners:

Practitioners' growth is intrinsically linked to the Master’s spiritual progress.

They are encouraged to expedite their practice, recognizing that the Master’s active presence is a limited opportunity.

 Transition and Succession:

Institutions sustain their spiritual and organizational growth through capable successors.

The successor's capacity determines the continuity and vibrancy of the institution.

In the absence of a pre-appointed successor, practitioners should democratically select the most qualified individual to guide them.

 Consequences of Neglect:

Failure to establish a competent leadership structure can lead to the institution's decline over time.

PHILOSOPHY OF THIS MESSAGE!:-

This philosophy underscores the importance of leadership, personal responsibility, and collective effort in sustaining spiritual institutions. It also highlights the impermanence inherent in all endeavors, encouraging practitioners to make the most of their time under a guiding Master.

1) Abhyasi- Master,  Does dissolution of mind start only after human mind is transformed as a divine mind?

*Chivam not only brings peace and harmony to this life but also ensures a serene existence in the world beyond death.* Can you please explain "existence" in this context?

Because in divine mind which is empty it will be existence of non-existence, right?

Master-When the mind becomes empty, it becomes Divine. Completely positive.  This positive mind is dissolved called as Mano Nasha. 

After Mano Nasha, YOU alone will be there, that condition is called as Chivam. 

Practitioners are getting the energy of Chivam from the Master, thereby they'll get peace during their life here.

They can continue to remember the Master even after leaving this world. There also they get peace.

Existence is felt because of the human mind. 

Though ONE (Chivam) exists even after Mano Nasha, either in this materialistic world or in the other world, HE feels that He is not existing as a separate entity, but HE is everything. (Omnipresent).

Message 23 dec, 6.19 pm

1) Dear Abhyasis,

The Chivality system is designed to transform the human mind into the Divine. A Divine mind is free from possessions and attachments—it is an empty mind.

A Divine mind signifies a liberated soul, and Chivam is the only entity capable of granting liberation to the human mind.

Chivam not only brings peace and harmony to this life but also ensures a serene existence in the world beyond death. It represents the state of immortality.

Let us embrace this transformative journey and strive towards true liberation.

With love and light,

2) Dear Abhyasis,

Chivam energy is exclusively for Mukti—liberation from the bonds of the materialistic world. Mukti is essential for those who no longer wish to remain entangled in the temporary nature of worldly existence.

We all understand that this materialistic world is transient, and eventually, we must leave it behind. Chivam energy aids in disconnecting the mind from material attachments, allowing one to free themselves mentally before the body perishes.

The attachments to the material world often linger as impressions in the consciousness even after death. These impressions create disturbances, robbing one of peace and leading to a restless existence until the next birth.

Thus, to achieve true liberation and peace, it is essential to empty the mind of worldly attachments before departing from this life.

Let us reflect on this truth and prepare ourselves for the path of Mukti.

1) Dear abhyasis,

We know our physical Sheth, (Annamaya kosha) pranic Sheth, (Pranamaya kosha),Mental sheth, (Manomaya kosha), vignan- maya kosha (Intellectual Sheth). But we don't know the last one Ananda maya kosha.  

Yes: You are the Ananda maya kosha.

Chiththa is the Ananda maya kosha. For knowing this and experiencing the Ananda, you should lose the sensitivity towards the remaining above 4 koshas.

Chivality is the system and process of removing the sensitivity of the 4 koshas and opening up the chiththa (non thinking condition) and giving you the experience of Chidananda.

Then You know who are You?

2) Abhyasi-Master,  losing sensitivity to manomaya and vignana maya i can understand to some extent.

But what does losing sensitivity to annamaya kosha  and prana maya kosha mean?

Master- You can't remember your body, prana, mind and intellect. You don't remember anything. In that forgettable condition, you can experience the bliss of yourself.  This is the condition of Chivam.

3) Abhyasi- My master in the nirvana Shatkam, adi Shankara says CHIDANANDA ROOPA SHIVOHAM SHIVOHAM. Am I that master.

Master- Chit Ananda is Chidananda as mentioned in the Nirvana shatakam. Also called as Chivananda.

Message 11 Dec, 1.37 pm 

1) Master's energy starts cleansing the conscious mind initially to destroy the negativity in it. The negativity created in this birth. (Prarabdha karmaphala). The effect is change in perception and improving the positive qualities like, reducing the desires and expectations, non complaining habits, non disturbing others along with removal of stress and tension.

Fear, anxiety and worries are related to subconscious mind raising from accumulated negativity. If you experience that your fear, anxiety and worries get reduced as well as reduction of attachment towards the materialistic world, you can think that your subconscious mind is getting cleansed.

2) Master's form is a bridge to connect you with God within. Once you are connected, Master's form is not required. You must sit in Silentation till the condition of God vanishes from you.

The condition of God is emptiness of mind or absolute thoughtlessness. During Silentation, this condition expands further in the practitioner. This condition can get established slowly after some years of practice. 

If this condition is persistent always, your negativity is almost removed. Mano Nasha will happen at the earliest.

Message 7 Dec

 Message 7 Dec

1) Dear Abhyasis,

Time holds immense significance in our lives. Without utilizing it wisely, we cannot fully live or grow.

When time is not directed toward worldly pursuits, it transforms into God's time—a sacred interval where the mind is free from distractions. During such moments, if you refrain from engaging in thoughts, you find yourself in the presence of God.

Spending time with God defines a Yogi. Yogis dedicate the majority of their time to this divine connection, nurturing strong mental power through the stillness of their minds.

Ordinarily, the mind struggles to achieve stillness due to the incessant flow of thoughts. However, remembering the Master during periods of silent meditation, or Silentation, helps calm this mental turbulence. The Master's Chivam energy gradually dissolves these thoughts, guiding you toward true stillness.

The stillness of the mind is the gateway to connecting with the divine within.

By maintaining this inner stillness, you align yourself with God, enabling a permanent and profound connection with the divine presence.

2) Dear Abhyasis,

Divine protection is the shielding of your mind from the influences of the materialistic world. The essence of God is found in the stillness of the mind. Wherever stillness resides, there God is present.

God's protection is centered on the mind, for the mind is where God dwells. When your mind is safeguarded, you will feel an all-encompassing sense of protection that extends to every aspect of your being.

3) Dear abhyasis,

If you have an enlightened living Master, his energy can only dig your God within. This energy is called the Master within.

You have to make your Master within stronger by constant remembrance. The more the inner Master is strong, it becomes more powerful to eradicate your negativity and negative qualities.

Whatever may come in your life, you should not forget your inner Master. He's only the protector for you during your tough time. 

He is the real Parabrahma, the Chivam, the protector of you by destroying your mind.

The human mind is the cause of every suffering.

Message 6th Dec

 Message 6th Dec, 9.58 am

1) Dear Abhyasis,

Spiritual practice is meant to free us from materialistic bondages. Therefore, during the time of practice, it is essential to avoid creating new bondages.

Every additional attachment or responsibility adds weight to the mind, slowing down the pace of spiritual progress. In contrast, when our ties to the materialistic world are reduced, the spiritual journey becomes smoother, more peaceful, and deeply fulfilling.

Enlightenment is the state where the mind is free from thoughts and feelings. Bondages and responsibilities, however, tend to generate unnecessary thoughts, pulling us away from this pure state of being.

The Chivality system offers a way to live in the material world, among people and things, without forming attachments or bondages. It is a practice in maintaining inner freedom while being fully present in life.

When thoughts and feelings vanish, one reaches the threshold of enlightenment, standing at the edge of liberation, ready to embrace freedom.

Let us strive for this state with sincerity and dedication.

2) Dear Abhyasis,

The Chivality system, with its method of Silentation, is designed to eradicate negativity within a practitioner.

Thoughts, feelings, emotions, sentiments, and superstitions are the root causes of negativity in an individual. This negativity, in turn, leads to negative qualities, perceptions, and ways of life. Ultimately, one becomes trapped in negativity because of their own inner state.

The energy of Chivam has the transformative power to eliminate this negativity. Constant remembrance of the Master allows an abhyasi to receive the Chivam energy continuously from the Master.

It is essential that this flow of energy remains steady and uninterrupted, as it accelerates the practitioner's journey toward positivity. Becoming positive is a fundamental requirement in the Chivality system, as negativity has no place in this pure and sacred path.

Let us strive to maintain a positive state, uplifted by the Master's energy and the practice of Silentation.

1) Dear Abhyasis,

Internalizing the Master is a far more profound and transformative experience than merely sitting in the aura of the Master. While being in the Master's presence offers a sense of relaxation and superficial satisfaction, the real spiritual journey begins when we bring the Master into our inner being.

Chivsangh is a sacred congregation of practitioners who have internalized the Master. In this divine gathering, the energy of Chivam, received from the Master, radiates through each individual, creating a collective atmosphere imbued with spiritual vibrancy.

During Chivsangh, the Master's energy fills the space, transcending the need for the Master's physical presence. It is through this shared energy that the true essence of the Master's guidance is realized.

Let us all strive to internalize the Master and contribute to the sanctity and spiritual power of Chivsangh.

2) Dear Abhyasis,

The internalized Master is far more powerful than the physical Master. This process of internalization must continue until you attain Mukthi. Whether the physical Master is present or not, the inner Master remains with you eternally—initially as a form, and eventually as pure energy.

Constant remembrance is essential for internalizing the Master. When your mind holds nothing but the Master, the process of internalization becomes natural and effortless.

As you internalize the physical Master, you simultaneously interiorize the energy of Chivam within yourself.

When Chivam is abundant within you, negativity naturally diminishes, allowing you to live a life filled with light and positivity.

Let us dedicate ourselves to this divine practice and strengthen our connection with the Master within.

Message 4 Dec

 Message 4 dec, 7 pm

1) Dear Abhyasis,

The time you dedicate to materialistic pursuits will yield materialistic benefits.

Similarly, the more time you spend in silence and in the remembrance of the Master, the greater the spiritual benefits you will receive.

Materialistic benefits include name, fame, wealth, relationships, power, friendships, and social connections.

Spiritual benefits, on the other hand, include developing positive qualities, reducing negativity and impurities of the mind such as desires, expectations

2) Dear Abhyasis,

When you attain spiritual benefits, they become a guiding force to lead a peaceful and balanced life in the materialistic world. You will rise above worries about failures, disappointments, deceit, conspiracies, exploitation, and similar challenges.

These spiritual qualities will serve as the foundation for a beautiful and fulfilling life, far beyond what material achievements alone can provide.

3) Dear Abhyasis,

When your mind becomes still and free of all thoughts, you are in a state of thinking about Nothing. This Nothingness is the essence of God, or Chivam.

By keeping your constant remembrance on Chivam, you surrender to its divine guidance, allowing everything in your life to be taken care of effortlessly.
