1) Abhyasi- This discourse beautifully outlines the concept of the duality within the self—the pure and the impure—and the path to realizing the Pure Self. It delves into the essence of spirituality, emphasizing the transcendence of materialistic attachments and the importance of inner purification. Here's a summary of the key insights:
1. Duality Within:
Every individual possesses two selves:
Impure Self: Engaged in materialistic desires and worldly transactions, characterized by attachments, emotions, and suffering.
Pure Self: Beyond material concerns, connected to the soul, and the source of true peace and liberation.
2. The Role of the Mind:
The human mind is predominantly entangled with materialistic thoughts, leaving little space for spirituality.
To realize the Pure Self, the mind must be purified, akin to cleaning a muddy floor to reveal its true surface.
3. Path to Purity:
Purify the mind by silencing materialistic thoughts and focusing inward.
Negativity, as termed in the Chivality system, represents impurities that can be negated through mindfulness, meditation, and self-awareness.
4. Benefits of Realizing the Pure Self:
Freedom from Suffering: The impure self experiences suffering, while the pure self remains untouched by worldly troubles.
Peacefulness: As the Pure Self expands, inner peace and joy become dominant, reducing the grip of suffering.
5. Higher Spiritual World:
The Pure Self resides in a brighter, higher spiritual world beyond the materialistic mind.
This state can be achieved through persistent efforts to cultivate purity, silence the mind, and rise above material concerns.
6. Practical Implications:
Daily transactions and responsibilities can be managed by the brain and intellect, while the mind transitions into a pure, peaceful state.
This shift enables freedom from materialistic attachments and provides lasting peace.
This perspective encourages one to embark on an inner journey of self-discovery, aiming to transcend the transient material world and embrace the eternal peace of the Pure Self.
2) Master- What is Mind Space:
There are two types of minds mentioned as below:-
*_Impure Mind_* (Materialistic): Dominated by materialistic thoughts and desires, creating restlessness.
*_Pure Mind_* (Spiritualistic): Free of materialistic involvement, leading to silence, peace, and spiritual growth.
*_Silentation Practice_
Purpose: Expand the pure mind by achieving mental blankness or thoughtlessness, which represents purity and peace.
Process:
1. Sit in silence to remove thoughts.
2. Use the remembrance of a realized Master to aid in clearing the mind.
3. Gradually expand the pure mind's space, leading to higher levels of divinity.
Mindfulness:
1. Mind Full of Thoughts: Represents materialistic involvement and the impure mind.
2. Mind Full of Thoughtlessness: Reflects the pure mind, leading to peace and spirituality.
*_Spiritual Qualities_*
*_Purity and Peace_*
Purity leads to peace, and increasing purity deepens peacefulness.
*_Spirit and Spirituality_*
Spirit represents the pure mind, while spirituality involves embodying the qualities of the spirit (positive, non-disturbing traits).
*_Levels of Divine Expansion_*
Emptiness: Represents the initial condition of the spirit.
Expansion: Progresses through divine, super divine, supreme divine, and superior divine states.
Supreme Mind: Fully expanded pure mind, omnipresent throughout the universe.
This framework provides a structured approach to achieving mental and spiritual balance, emphasizing the role of silence, thoughtlessness, and purity in spiritual growth.
3) Abhyasi-
_Negativity, as termed in the Chivality system, represents impurities that can be negated through mindfulness, meditation, and self-awareness._
*master in above point, it should be impurities can be removed by mindlessness, silentation, and self-awareness right? Or should we take it as mind full of thoughtlessness?*
6. Practical Implications:
_Daily transactions and responsibilities can be managed by the brain and intellect, while the mind transitions into a pure, peaceful state._
*is the brain not powered by the mind?*
4) Master- A mind full of purity can be called mindlessness where there's no impure mind.
Human beings only need an impure mind to live here and to activate the intellect. When you become Divine, you don't require any impure mind to activate your intellect. Intellect gets freedom from the impure mind and functions on its own.
5) Pure mind gives freedom to the intellect and functions like a robot. Feelings and emotions can't interfere in the functioning of the intellect.
6) Impure Mind not only gets tension while using the intellect but also gives stress to the intellect unnecessarily.
7) You, the Pure Self can experience the smooth functioning of the intellect without any disturbance when you become the Pure Self.
8) If the Self is staying in an impure mind, it's Impure Self and vice versa.
9) Pure Self doesn't experience sufferings and negative qualities. It's free from the negative materialistic world.
10) There are so many types of negative qualities in the human mind. Some qualities like, hatred, vengeance, jealousy, greed, high ambitions, extreme anticipation, etc. etc. disturb much for the human beings. Qualities like fear, anxiety and worries won't disturb much. Desires and expectations create very little disturbance.
In every quarter of Mano Nasha, one can experience the reduction in depth of the above mentioned negative qualities.
11)Abhyasi-For human beings, is it the same Self swinging between the mind space of pure and impure?
When self is in impure mind space it becomes impure self and when when self is in pure space it become pure self?
Master- Yes. One can understand it very easily. When the human being is disturbed, He can understand that He is in an impure mind. If He is at peace, He is in a Pure mind.
12) All the negative qualities emerge only when the human being is disturbed.
13) Dear abhyasis,
This exploration offers profound insights into the dynamics of the human mind, its connection with the Self, and the transformative journey toward achieving a state of purity or divinity. Here's a deeper reflection:
1. Mind as the Energy Field of the Self:
The mind is not just a mental construct but an energy field shaped by the Self.
Its driving force is Ego, which manifests in dual forms: positive and negative.
2. Qualities of the Mind:
The mind operates through preferences, forming likes and dislikes.
When it is forced to accept what it resists, impressions are created. These impressions are the seeds of negativity.
Negativity arises when the mind clings to undesirable experiences, emotions, or perceptions, fueled by the Ego.
3. Dual Nature of Ego:
Both the negative mind (impure) and the pure mind possess Ego.
Ego in the impure mind empowers negativity, creating suffering and attachment.
Ego in the pure mind leads to positive attributes and fosters spiritual growth.
4. Transformation of the Mind:
Destruction of negativity is the key to converting the impure, negative mind into a positive, pure mind.
This transformation aligns the mind with purity, which is synonymous with divinity.
5. The Path to Chivam:
As purity and divinity increase, the mind progresses toward its ultimate state, called Chivam.
Chivam represents the pinnacle of spiritual evolution, where the mind fully embodies divine qualities and transcends negativity.
6. Practical Implications:
By recognizing and addressing the roots of negativity (attachments, impressions, and resistance), the mind can undergo a gradual purification process.
Cultivating awareness, self-discipline, and negative mindlessness allows one to amplify the positive Ego and dissolve the negative.
This journey of purification is not instantaneous but incremental, requiring patience and persistent effort.
The concept of Chivam offers a vision of ultimate spiritual fulfillment—a state where the mind is free of all impurities, in complete harmony with the divine essence of the Self. This transformative process highlights the importance of understanding the nature of the mind and consciously working toward its purification.
14)Dear abhyasis,
To improve the quality and strength of Chivsangha, select two group leaders. One for the gents and other for the ladies. Practitioners who are above 15 years should be made as members for each group.
These two leaders can coordinate together to improve the Chivsangh attendance as well the quality of the practitioners.
Programmes in the chivsangh can be decided by the leaders. Find out Right leaders with leadership qualities.
15)Abhyasi- Dear Master,
How can we know that fear , anxiety and worries won’t disturb much?
These are the feeling because of certain long term impressions right Master?
Master- Don't try to analyse much about negative qualities. Better to forget it. Avoid looking at your negative side.
Abhyasi - Mind with its negative attributes is our enemy. When does it become our trustworthy friend?
Master- Don't expect your mind to become your friend. When You become the Pure Self, you won't require any friend. YOU can live anywhere without anyone.
Pure Self doesn't have a mind. It's a mindless condition.
16) Dear abhyasis,
To keep yourself pure, don't think about problems, people who have problems, unnecessarily. Thinking of the negative side is not good for a spiritual practitioner.
Think positively and about positive persons, if any you know. Positive persons have very lesser complaints.
17)
Whenever you think about problems, your purity will be affected. Try to avoid converting difficulties into problems. It will also reduce your inner strength.
18) Whoever takes birth in this materialistic world has to face difficulties. Impure mind converts difficulties into problems.
Improving positivity can reduce the feeling of problems.
Try to remember Master always to get connected with His energy.
Master's energy can improve the positivity in a practitioner.
