 God Never Punishes

Human beings often believe that God will punish those who do wrong in the materialistic world. But in truth, God never punishes anyone. Punishment belongs to the world of duality, of right and wrong, success and failure, pleasure and pain. God exists beyond all dualities.

In the divine order, there is no system of punishment or reward. God’s nature is pure, infinite, and impartial. The impure mind suffers not because God punishes it, but because it cannot exist in the divine vibration. Just as darkness cannot exist in light, impurity cannot remain in divinity.

Before death, those who have purified themselves, cultivated positive and divine qualities, naturally rise to the divine world. Those who remain impure or negative continue to wander in lower states of existence until purification happens.

Becoming positive is not meant for worldly acceptance or appreciation. Positivity is the path to divinity. It is the process through which the human mind transforms into the divine condition of Nothingness, Chivam.

Therefore, we should never expect that wrong people will be punished by God. God cannot punish anyone, because punishment itself is an act of duality. God is beyond all dualities, pure, silent, and all-loving.

The divine world belongs only to the pure and positive minds that have become one with God’s stillness.

Silence: The Origin and the Ultimate End

Silence is the womb from which everything arises and the grave into which everything dissolves. It is the beginning, the middle, and the end of all existence. This is the fundamental truth behind creation, existence, and liberation. This silence is not merely the absence of sound but the substratum upon which the entire universe rests.

Chivality exists solely to help the seeker reach this ultimate silence through the practice of Silentation.

The Purpose of Silentation

Silentation is the practice of increasing the power of silence within you. This inner silence is so powerful that it can destroy thoughts, dissolve impressions, remove disturbances, and keep only silence intact.

This is why silence is compared to zero. Zero looks like nothing, but it holds unlimited potential. In the same way, silence appears empty, but it contains infinite power.

Silence as the Highest Spiritual Practice

Among all spiritual practices like chanting, rituals, meditation, yoga, prayer, practising silence is the most pure and the highest. Why? Because everything else needs effort,words, or a method. But silence needs only your presence.

When you enter silence, you enter your original nature. This is not a journey outward but an inward dissolution, a homecoming to what you have always been beneath the layers of conditioning and mental noise.

A Lineage of Great Silent Masters

The tradition of silence begins with Lord Muruga, shines brilliantly through Lord Dakshinamurthy, is carried forward by Lord Dattatreya, deepened in modern times by Sri Ramana Maharshi, and finally brought into clarity and method in today's world by Sat Sri Chivaguru Subrahmanya Shiva Balan.

Chivality practitioners are truly blessed. They are part of a legendary lineage of silence, receiving the direct transmission of wisdom that has flowed unbroken through the ages.

Silence and Liberation

Mukti is not something you “get.” It is a state of silence within the mind. When the mind is free of thoughts, desires,attachments, and negativity, the seeker enters Mukti.

The whole universe is filled with silence.Behind every sound, every movement, every thought, there is a background of silence holding everything together. The all-pervading divine energy lives only in silence. You can connect to this energy not through rituals or methods, but only through silence.

The Eternal, Indestructible Nature of Silence

Silence can never be destroyed. It cannot be cut, burnt, washed away, or reduced. It is eternal and unchanging. This eternal silence is nothing but Chivam. Chivam is the ultimate nature of the human soul.Chivam is the final destination of Chivality.

In realising this silence within, the practitioner realises their own true nature as Chivam, thus completing the sacred journey.

Silentation Increases Mental Strength

1. Calms the Mind

When you practice Silentation, you withdraw your attention from external distractions. The constant noise, thoughts, and worries of daily life gradually settle down. This calms the mind.

A calm mind naturally becomes a strong mind. Just as water becomes clear when still, your mental clarity and focus increase in silence. This foundational calmness is the bedrock upon which all  other mental strengths are built.

2. Strengthens Willpower

During Silentation, your mind naturally resists remaining silent. Thoughts, emotions, and impulses try to dominate. By repeatedly bringing your mind back to silence, you train your willpower like a muscle.

Through this training, you become capable of controlling impulses, making clear decisions, and not reacting hastily to difficult situations. Your mind learns discipline and self-mastery.

3. Reduces Vulnerability to Stress

Ordinary minds break down under pressure because they are easily disturbed by anger, fear, or worry. Silentation builds inner stability that cannot be shaken by external circumstances.

Like a tree with deep roots, you remain unshaken even in the face of adversity. The storms of life may rage around you, but your inner silence holds firm. 

4. Develops Emotional Resilience

Silence allows you to observe your emotions without being controlled by them. You learn to respond calmly instead of reacting impulsively. 

This emotional resilience strengthens your mind to face challenges like failures, disappointments, and losses without collapsing. You become a witness to your emotions rather than their victim.

5. Connects to Chivam and the Master's Energy

Through regular Silentation, your mind becomes sensitive to the energy of Chivam. This divine energy strengthens your mental endurance and gives courage,guidance, and inner support.

You experience a steady mind even in stressful situations, like having the Master's presence within you. This connection provides an inexhaustible source of strength beyond your individual capacity.

6. Improves Concentration and Clarity

The mind learns to focus on one thing without distraction, improving concentration and decision-making abilities.

A focused mind is strong because it can analyse, plan, and act effectively, even under pressure. Mental efficiency naturally increases when the mind is not scattered across a thousand distractions.

7. Builds Confidence and Self-Control

The more you practice Silentation, the more you trust your inner strength. You are no longer dependent on external circumstances for stability. 

Confidence comes naturally because your mind knows it can face any situation with calm and clarity. This self-reliance is the hallmark of true mental strength.

In essence, Silentation is like a gym for the mind. It increases clarity by calming the mind, strengthens self-control by building willpower, and reduces stress while cultivating stability. It also helps you face emotions wisely, sharpens concentration, improves mental efficiency, and builds unshakeable mental strength.

Mental strength is the natural outcome of regular Silentation practice. Through this sacred practice, the mind becomes like steel: calm, stable, sharp, and resilient.

Message 8 dec

 1) NAMACHIVAAYAM 🌙

*The Power of Practicing Silence*

Silence is not just the absence of sound. Silence is the presence of your real self. When you practice silence:

*1. Thoughts begin to lose their strength*

The mind survives only through continuous thinking. When you sit in silence, you stop feeding the mind. Slowly the unnecessary thoughts lose their power, and the mind becomes light. In Chivality, this is the first step towards dissolving the impurities of the mind.

*2. You connect with the deeper layers of your being*

Noise keeps you on the surface. Silence takes you inward. When the senses become quiet, the inner space opens. This is where the Master’s energy enters and works on you.

*3. Silence prepares you for receiving*

Just as a still lake clearly reflects the moon. A still mind clearly receives the Chivam energy. If the mind is noisy, the divine energy cannot settle. Silence is the condition that invites grace.

*4. Silence purifies the heart*

When you stop reacting to external triggers, the emotions hidden inside start rising and dissolving. Breathing becomes slow, the heartbeat becomes gentle, and inner peace starts taking birth. This purification is essential for spiritual transformation.

*5. Silence gives clarity*

When thoughts reduce, confusion reduces. Your discrimination becomes sharper. You understand what is real and what is unnecessary. A silent mind is like a cleaned mirror; it reflects truth without distortion.

*6. Silence removes fear*

Most fears come from imaginary thoughts. In silence, imagination weakens, and you discover that fear has no real existence. You begin to feel safe within yourself.

*7. Silence connects you to Space (God)*

In Chivality, Space is God—pure, infinite, thoughtless. When your mind becomes silent, you taste a small portion of this inner space. This is the beginning of becoming Chivam.

*8. Silence brings you closer to liberation*

When the mind becomes empty, your real nature automatically shines. You start to experience peace, stillness, freedom from thoughts and oneness with Space. This is the aim of human birth.

*9. Silence makes remembrance of the Master powerful*

A noisy mind cannot remember the Master deeply. A silent mind remembers effortlessly. When remembrance becomes continuous,

the Master’s energy flows continuously. This is the greatest power silence gives you.

*In short:*

Silence is the doorway to God, the Master, and your own true Self. Every moment of silence is a step towards freedom.

NAMACHIVAAYAM 🌙

2) NAMACHIVAAYAM 🌙

*Strengthening Masterfulness in the Heart* 

In Chivality practice, the entire spiritual journey depends on Masterfulness, the continuous, living presence of the Master in the seeker’s heart. Everyone remembers the Master. But only a few increase the Master’s power in their heart, especially when the physical Master is not present. To strengthen this inner presence, Chivality teaches a simple and powerful method.

*Keeping the Right Palm on the Heart — Why It Works*

When you place your *right palm* gently on your *heart and remember the Master*, your attention becomes focused in one place. 

The palm becomes like an antenna, the heart becomes the receiver, and remembrance becomes the connection that carries the Master’s energy. If the connection is strong, you will feel warmth or heat in the palm. This is not imagination, but it is the real sign that the Master is available inside you.

This can be better understood with examples.

*Example 1: Mobile Phone and Network Tower*

A mobile phone is always capable of receiving signal, but unless it connects to the tower, communication cannot happen. Similarly, your heart is the device, the Master is the tower, and remembrance is the signal. Your right palm strengthens the connection, like an external antenna. When the connection becomes strong, the signal (heat) becomes clearly felt. Just as a phone shows full network strength,the warmth shows full Master presence.

 *Example 2: Sunlight and a Magnifying Glass*

Sunlight is everywhere but only when you focus it through a magnifying glass, can it produce heat. Likewise, Master’s energy is always present. Your heart is always capable of receiving it, but remembrance by itself is sometimes scattered. Placing the palm acts like a magnifying glass. It focuses the Master’s energy directly into the heart. When the energy becomes concentrated, the palm begins to feel warm. This warmth is the proof of focused Masterfulness.

*Example 3: Charging a Battery*

Your heart is like a spiritual battery. It may have charge, but not enough. Keeping the palm on the heart during Silentation works like placing a phone on a charger. When remembrance is weak, charging is slow. But when the remembrance is deep, charging is fast. When the Master becomes fully available, you feel heat, like the battery warming slightly during fast charging. This warmth means your inner battery is charging directly from the Master’s energy.

*The Principle Behind the Heat*

The heat is not physical friction. It is energy activation. When the Master becomes fully present inside, the heart region becomes active. The palm senses that activation first because it is the nearest point. It is like touching a place where current is flowing, you immediately feel the sensation. The heat is the confirmation that the Master’s power is alive in your heart.

*Why Continuity Is Important*

Just feeling heat once is not enough. Masterfulness becomes powerful only when you repeat the practice regularly. If you continue the method,

remembrance becomes deeper, mind becomes quieter, Master’s energy becomes steady, heat becomes more frequent, heart becomes filled with Master’s presence, thoughts and negativity reduce automatically. This is how the seeker slowly becomes transformed.

This is similar to developing a Muscle. If you lift a dumbbell once, the muscle does not grow, but if you exercise daily, the muscle becomes strong and visible. Likewise, the heart muscle of remembrance grows only with repetition. Placing the palm is like doing a spiritual workout.

Heat is the sign that the muscle is being activated. With enough practice,the Master stays in your heart even without the palm. This is the stage of strong Masterfulness.

*The Goal — Master Available at All Times*

Remembrance becomes natural, and silence deepens effortlessly. Your mind remains pure and still, and you begin to experience the Master's presence in your heart at every moment, a constant state of Masterfulness. This is the ultimate goal. The heat you feel is a beautiful and encouraging sign that you are moving in the right direction.

Message 5 dec

 *Friday Spiritual Message No: 26*

According to Hindu philosophy, human life is traditionally considered to span 120 years, symbolizing a complete journey that integrates both material and spiritual pursuits. This life span is often divided into two distinct but interconnected phases.

*First Half: Materialistic Achievements (0–60 years)*

The initial 60 years focus on worldly life — acquiring knowledge, building a career, raising a family, and fulfilling social and material responsibilities. This phase emphasizes:

- Gaining education and skills

- Establishing a stable livelihood

- Accumulating wealth and possessions

- Building relationships and fulfilling social duties (Dharma)

During this period, individuals engage fully with the external world, striving for success, security, and comfort.

*Later Half: Spiritual Achievement (61–120 years)*

The subsequent years represent a gradual withdrawal from material concerns, turning inward toward spiritual growth and self-realization. This phase is about:

- Renouncing attachments to material wealth, status, and desires

- Increasing focus on meditation, reflection, and understanding the nature of the self (Atman)

- Practicing detachment (Vairagya) and embracing simplicity

- Seeking liberation (Moksha) from the cycle of birth and death by realizing one's unity with the ultimate reality (Brahman)

This period involves systematically relinquishing worldly ties to become free from desire, ego, and illusions, ultimately aiming to stand as nothing tied to the material world—pure consciousness beyond form and identity.

*Summary:*

Human life in according to hindu philosophy is a holistic journey where the first half is for establishing and experiencing material existence, and the latter half is dedicated to transcending it gradually to achieve spiritual liberation. The progression from external engagement to internal detachment reflects the soul’s movement from bondage in the physical world to freedom in the spiritual realm.

Three Gunas and Their Divine Origin in Chivality

Every being in the creation functions through three gunas: Tamas, Sattva, and Rajas. They represent three states of energy working within the human system. In ordinary philosophy, these are understood as darkness, purity, and activity. But in Chivality, the meaning of these gunas takes a much deeper spiritual dimension.

1. Tamas Guna – The Condition of Chivam 

During Silentation, the seeker enters the state of Tamas Guna, which is not ignorance or darkness as generally understood, but a condition of absolute stillness and peace.Here, all activities of the mind, intellect, and body come to rest.

This Tamas is divine stillness, the original state of Chivam, which is pure, motionless, infinite consciousness.

In this condition, the seeker experiences nothingness, no thoughts, no desires, no doership.

It is the Pure Spirit which is beyond the qualities of good or bad. From this Tamas, all other gunas emerge. Just as silence is the source of all sounds, Tamas is the source of Sattva and Rajas.

2. Sattvik Guna – The Condition of Brahman

When the seeker comes out of Silentation, his mind and intellect function in the field of Sattvik Guna.

This is the condition of purity, clarity, and positivity. The seeker feels peaceful, contented, and compassionate.

This Sattvik quality represents the Brahman condition, the positive and luminous aspect of the Divine expressed through mind and intellect.

Sattvik Guna is born from the silence of Tamas. When the stillness of Chivam expresses as knowledge, peace, and love, it becomes Sattvik.

Thus, Sattvik Guna is the shining reflection of silence in the field of the mind.

3. Rajo Guna – The Condition of the Human

In the field of action, when the body  performs work and interacts with the world, the energy of Rajo Guna operates.

It is the power of movement, creation, and dynamism.

But in human beings, Rajas is mixed with both positive and negative tendencies, because it depends on the mind that drives the action.

If the mind is Sattvik, Rajas expresses as selfless work and service. If the mind is impure, Rajas expresses as greed, anger, or desire.

Hence, Rajo guna represents the human condition, which is active, mixed, and bound by the dualities of pleasure and pain.

4. The Spiritual Integration

In Chivality, the seeker learns to return again and again to the source, Tamas Guna, through Silentation.

From that silence, Sattvik purity and Rajasic balance naturally emerge.

The seeker does not suppress any Guna but understands their hierarchy:

• Tamas: The root, Chivam, pure silence.
• Satva: The mind purified by silence, Brahman.
• Rajas: The activity guided by purity,human in harmony.

When all three function in alignment, silence within, purity in thought, and balance in action, the seeker becomes a divine human being. 

Ultimately, by remaining long in Tamas Guna, even Satva and Rajas dissolve into

Chivam, the Supreme Stillness, which is liberation itself.

Purity of Mind Is the Goal of Spiritual Practice!

The purpose of spiritual practice is to increase the purity of the mind. Everything else, every discipline and every hour spent in practice, serves only this one goal. But what does purity of mind actually mean? Purity of mind means not allowing anything to remain in the mind.

People suffer because they hold on to thoughts, memories, emotions, and experiences. This accumulation creates what we call mental weight, a real burden that we carry with consequences extending far beyond everyday discomfort.

The Disease of Attachment: Bhavaroga

Mental weight prevents the human mind from freeing itself from the materialistic world, even after death. A mind burdened with accumulated impressions cannot ascend; it continues to wander on the earth without a body, bound by the very desires it refused to release during life. This condition is known as Bhavaroga, a disease that develops due to deep attachment to the materialistic world. 

Our mind should not get stuck in any matter or create impressions. Life is meant to flow naturally, without inner obstacles. But when we seek enjoyment and happiness from the

material world, we interrupt that flow. Such desires create new impressions and add fresh

weight to the mind, reinforcing the very patterns that keep us bound.

Unlike physical ailments that end with the body, bhavaroga persists beyond it, fueled by the impressions we leave unresolved. 

The Need for Divine Help

Just as physical diseases require external help such as medicines and treatments, mental weight requires external divine help. Our individual efforts alone cannot dissolve the weight accumulated over lifetimes. 

In Chivality, we receive this divine help through the Master's energy, obtained by practising Masterfulness, which means keeping the Master in one's heart and remembering Him constantly. This is the practical mechanism through which Master's energy works within; it cleanses the mental weight and brings about light-mindedness, an enlightened mind that moves freely in the materialistic world without being affected by it.

The Peace of a Purified Mind

When peace arises from an enlightened and purified mind, the need for external happiness disappears. A peaceful mind never expects happiness from outside. Our ultimate goal,  therefore, should be to attain and maintain a peaceful mind always.

This is not a distant ideal; it is a living possibility. Through the practice of Masterfulness, we are given the tools to release our mental weight and move through life with clarity and ease. Let each moment be an opportunity to purify, to remember, and to return to the stillness within. In that stillness, peace is not something we seek. It is who we are.

The Three Types of Sufferings and the Path to Liberation

Every human being born into this world inevitably undergoes three types of suffering: materialistic, physical, and mental. Though these sufferings appear to arise from different sources, the true sufferer behind all of them is the mind. No one, however wealthy, powerful, or learned, can escape them. Sufferings are not punishments; they are the realities of human existence and opportunities for spiritual evolution.

1. Materialistic Suffering

Materialistic suffering arises from the external world, from possessions, desires, relationships, ambitions, failures, and attachments. Human beings live in constant comparison and competition, desiring more and fearing loss. When one’s expectations are

not met, the mind suffers. Even when they are met, fear of losing them creates suffering

again.

These sufferings arise from the external world, the people, situations, possessions, and

desires connected to one’s material life. Human beings are constantly disturbed by gain and loss, praise and blame, success and failure, attachment and separation. 

When the mind identifies itself with material things and relationships, it becomes restless

and suffers from expectations, disappointments, and insecurities. This suffering continues as long as the human being believes happiness lies in external achievements. Thus, materialistic suffering is endless as long as the mind is bound to worldly desires and attachments.

2. Physical Suffering

The body, being perishable, is subject to pain, disease, and ageing. From birth till death, the

body undergoes pain, disease, aging, and decay. No medicine or comfort can make a human being immortal or pain-free forever.

But even here, the body by itself does not suffer; it merely undergoes changes. It is the

mind that identifies with the body and claims its pain as “my pain.” The moment the mind

detaches from the body and realises its true separateness, even bodily pain loses its intensity. Therefore, physical suffering too is sustained only by the mind’s identification with the body.

Everybody who takes birth must perish one day, and every soul that identifies with the body must experience the pain of this impermanence. This is the law of nature: birth, growth, decay, and death, the unavoidable cycle of physical existence.

Thus, the first two sufferings are common to all human beings, whether good or bad, rich

or poor, believer or non-believer. But these are not obstacles to liberation; rather, they are reminders that nothing in this material or bodily life can give permanent peace.

3. Mental Suffering

Mental suffering is the most subtle and most powerful form. It arises from the thoughts, emotions, and memories created by the mind itself. Anger, jealousy, hatred, fear, and

sorrow. All of these originate from the restless mind. A disturbed mind sees

disturbance everywhere; a peaceful mind sees peace even in suffering. Thus, it is the

condition of the mind that decides one’s happiness or sorrow.

When a seeker turns towards spirituality and begins to travel the path of liberation, a third

and more subtle kind of suffering begins, the suffering of the mind. This suffering is not

caused by any external event or bodily pain. It is purely internal, arising from the cleansing of the subconscious mind, where countless impressions (samskaras) from past births are stored.

The subconscious mind is like a hidden chamber of memory containing the residues of all experiences, anger, jealousy, lust, fear, hatred, and attachment accumulated over many lifetimes. When the Master’s energy begins to purify the seeker through Silentation and remembrance, these hidden impurities start surfacing in the conscious mind as restlessness, irritation, or mental pain.

At this stage, the seeker may not understand why he is suffering mentally without any reason. But in truth, it is the process of purification. The mind is being washed clean, layer by layer, until nothing remains. 

This stage demands great positivity, patience, and surrender. Only a positive person, who

does not resist or complain, can bear this invisible inner suffering. Negativity, doubt, or

fear at this stage can slow down the purification. Therefore, the Master instructs the seeker to accept all sufferings without complaint, to remain positive, and to keep constant remembrance of the Master.

The Mind – The Root of All Suffering

When we analyse deeply, we realise that the mind alone is the cause of all three forms of

suffering. It creates desires that lead to material pain, it identifies with the body and

experiences physical pain, and it generates its own turmoil as mental pain. Therefore, the

only way to end suffering is not by changing the outer world, but by dissolving the mind

itself.

This dissolution of the mind is called Mano Nasha — the annihilation of the mind.

The Role of the Master and Silentation

During this mental cleansing, the Master’s presence and remembrance play a vital role. When the seeker sits in Silentation with the remembrance of the Master, the Master’s

divine energy enters the seeker’s mind, helping to burn the impurities of the

subconscious.

This energy transmission is not visible to the eyes but felt in the depth of stillness. The

Master is not removing the suffering, but transforming it. He converts the pain of the

subconscious cleansing into peace by making the seeker empty, free from past impressions,

thoughts, and reactions.

This is why the seeker must sit beside the Master regularly, to receive this purifying energy and to strengthen the capacity to bear the inner transformation.

Mano Nasha – The Path to Liberation

Mano Nasha is not the destruction of the brain or loss of mental function; it is the complete dissolution of the false identity created by the mind. The mind is nothing but a continuous flow of thoughts. When thoughts cease, the mind ceases. What remains is pure awareness — the Self, which is eternal, peaceful, and divine.

When Mano Nasha is achieved:

• One becomes free from all bondage (Bandhana) with the material world.
• Desires and attachments lose their hold, as there is no “I” to claim them.
• Suffering, which depends on identification with the mind, completely disappears.
• The seeker attains Liberation (Moksha), the state of pure existence, bliss, and silence.

The Liberation Edge

When the subconscious mind has been sufficiently cleansed, the seeker reaches what

is called the Liberation Edge — a point where the mind becomes very subtle and silent.

At this edge, the seeker no longer reacts to worldly situations or bodily discomforts. He

observes everything in stillness, as if the whole world is moving, but he remains unmoved.

This is the stage where the final purification of the subconscious mind begins. It can bring

about an intense inner churning, the last traces of samskaras rising to the surface for dissolution. This period is delicate and intense, but after it, the seeker enters into total peace, the state of Chivam, the infinite Stillness.

Realisation of the Self

Through Mano Nasha, one attains the ultimate knowledge, “Who am I?” This is the

experience of Self-Realisation (Atma Sakshatkara) or Enlightenment. It is the realisation that the individual self (Jivatma) and the Supreme Self (Paramatma) are not different.

One discovers that God is not outside but within, in the form of Stillness, Silence, and Space. As long as the mind exists, this truth remains hidden. When the mind dissolves, the

divine reveals itself naturally. This is the state of Chivam, the pure, infinite condition of the

mind transformed into God’s state of Nothingness.

Liberation

Liberation is not the end of life; it is the end of the mind’s disturbances. When all sufferings — material, bodily, and mental have fulfilled their purpose and dissolved, the seeker experiences the real state of Nothingness.

In that state, there is no doer, no experiencer, no duality. The seeker becomes one with the

infinite space, the real God condition. That is Liberation, the ultimate transformation

where suffering ends forever because there is no one left to suffer. The human has merged

into the divine. The mind has transformed into Chivam, the pure and infinite Stillness.

Conclusion

Hence, liberation is not achieved by escaping the world but by dissolving the mind that

clings to it. Silentation practice is designed to quieten the mind, and it leads towards

dissolution. When the mind becomes still, the Self shines by itself.

Mano Nasha is Liberation itself. Where the mind ends, God begins.

Message 28 Nov

 *Friday Spiritual Message No: 25*

The mind is like a layer — it is what makes us sensitive and vulnerable. The practice of Silentation is the use of the power of silence to remove this layer.

This layer gives rise to various qualities, which we categorize as either positive or negative. Negative qualities are of two types:

1. Those that trouble only ourselves — fear, anxiety, worries, unfulfilled desires, unfulfilled expectations, depression, etc.

2. Those that trouble others — such as complaining, criticizing, discouraging, scolding, lying, etc.

As we progress, the negative qualities that disturb others will disappear first, and then the negative qualities that disturb ourselves will gradually reduce.

Finally, when the layer (mind) is completely destroyed (Mano Nasha/ dissolution of mind), we become nirguna and remain unaffected by anything. Like the lotus, which grows in muddy water yet remains untouched by dirt, we too remain pure amidst the impurities around us.

The practice of silentation helps us attain the state of quietude. When one is able to maintain this state, one will no longer have problems (sankashta).

*Namachivayam*🌙

Message 21 Nov

 Friday Spiritual Message No:24

How to Create Permanent Peace?

Permanent peace is attained through the cultivation of positivity in the mind. When negativity is reduced, the mind naturally regains its positive state. Overthinking, on the other hand, drains mental energy and reduces positivity, often leading to confusion, doubt, and inner unrest.

Positivity can be nurtured through positive thinking, positive communication, and positive actions. In a society where negativity has long prevailed, maintaining a positive mindset can be challenging. However, we must strive to remain positive in our lives, regardless of the negativity that has prevailed around us.

Namachivayam🌙

Message 14 Nov

 *Friday Spiritual Message No: 23*

Materialistic life takes time and effort to reach its best form. In the same way, spirituality also requires time and dedication to blossom.

Becoming spiritual is not a sudden transformation — it comes through consistent spiritual practice.

The purpose of spiritual practice is to increase the purity or positivity of the mind. Time plays a vital role in this process because the human mind is easily influenced by materialistic attractions due to its inherent negativity. Spiritual practice works to cleanse this negativity and gradually transform the mind into a state of purity.

When the mind becomes pure, it no longer gets disturbed by materialistic conditions. The less a person is affected by the outer world, the more peaceful their material life becomes. Spiritual practice, therefore, not only brings peace to life but also helps one retain that peace permanently, even beyond death.

Message 7 Nov

 *Friday Spiritual Message No: 22*

*The Ultimate Goal of Spiritual Practice*

In essence, spiritual practice is meant to strengthen the human mind.

Why does the human mind fail to become strong? The reason is the impurities within the mind. These impurities prevent the mind from attaining true stability and endurance.

A pure mind, free from impurities, possesses the quality of total endurance — the ability to bear everything completely, remaining unaffected by actions, speech, or memories.

This state of unwavering strength is known as Sthitha Pragna, Sthira, Sthanu, or Chivam — the condition of being firmly established, unshakable, and fully capable of living in solitude with peace and stillness.

Mouna Chandrike- Oct 2025

 What if God was not outside, but within you all along?

     This is the truth that Chivality reveals. God has never been far away. He is right here, inside us.

     Yet, most of us spend our whole lives searching for Him outside – in temples, in  idols, in photographs,  in books, in rituals. We look everywhere except the one place where He actually lives – within  ourselves. But why don't we feel His presence there? Why does He seem so far away when He  is  actually so close? The answer lies in understanding the two types of space that exist within us.

     Every human being has two types of space inside them – pure space and impure space. The pure space is God, the Pure Spirit. This space has no limits and is always still. The impure space is what we refer to as the mind. It is limited, full of conditions, and always restless with thoughts.

What is God as Pure Space?

Space is not just emptiness. It is living consciousness, eternal awareness, and ultimate stillness. It is the foundation of all beings and all movements. Every form, every energy, and every vibration arises from this vast, formless space. It is completely free from all impurity, desire, and duality.

     When a human being looks deeply within, a speck of this same Space is found beyond his intellect and mind. It is ever-present, but hidden behind the veil of thoughts, emotions,and personal identifications. Just as clouds hide the clear sky, the pure consciousness of God is hidden by the restless activities of the mind.

The Impure Space - The Human Mind

     The mind is the impure space within us. It is the space that has been conditioned by impressions,  desires, fears, and attachments. Though it too is a form of space, it is diminished and distorted by thoughts and emotions. Because of this impurity, a person perceives duality, limitation, and suffering.

The mind, filled with impurities, keeps dividing everything into good and bad, self and other, success and failure. It cannot remain in peace because it is built upon movement and reaction. The more a person identifies with this impure space, the further they move away from the natural stillness of the Pure Spirit.

God as Pure Positivity

     The Pure Spirit (God/Chivam) is fully positive. In this state, there is no negativity, no duality, and no division; only pure bliss remains. All positive qualities, such as love, compassion, peace, patience, and humility, arise from this source.

     The mind cannot create true positivity; it can only imitate it for a short time. When the impure mind is removed, positivity flows naturally, like fragrance from a flower. It is not emotional but existential, a natural expression of one’s inner divinity.

Dissolving the Impure Mind – Realising God Within

     To realise God is to realise the Pure Space within oneself. This realisation comes through Chivality practice — through Silentation and the remembrance of the Master — as it works to dissolve the impure space, the mind, so that the Pure Space (God)can shine forth naturally. When the mind becomes silent, thoughts lose their power, and desires and fears gradually lose their  meaning, leaving pure stillness and positivity.

The Master’s energy works silently within, guiding the seeker beyond the mind and into absolute stillness.    This is not the creation of something new, but the revelation of what has always been there. Imagine a pond covered with mud and dead leaves. The clean water is already beneath, but you cannot see it. Once the dirt is removed, the pure water appears. Similarly, the dissolution of the mind reveals the state of Pure Spirit, or Chivam — the condition of Nothingness and ultimate bliss. 

     When the seeker reaches this state, he becomes free from all limitations. He is no longer a separate being searching for God. He becomes God himself — the Pure Spirit, the speck of the infinite Space that was always within, waiting to be discovered.

Beyond the Gunas: A Journey to Becoming Chivam

Every human being possesses three qualities: Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas Guna. These qualities shape our daily life and spiritual journey.

Sattva Guna relates to the brain and brings clarity, focus, and the capacity to learn and absorb knowledge. Through Sattva, we gain understanding and develop wisdom.

Rajas Guna relates to the mind and is reflected in our activity, energy, and engagement with the world. It enables us to work, create, and bring our intentions into reality.

Tamas Guna is often mistaken for inactivity or laziness, but it holds deep spiritual significance. It is related to the soul and represents calmness, rest, and silence, where the body and mind are rejuvenated.

How Gunas Shape the Journey of Life?

According to Hindu philosophy, the ideal human life spans 120 years, divided into two equal and complementary halves, with the three Gunas guiding our growth through each stage.

The first half of life, the first 60 years, is dedicated to material achievement and worldly engagement. During childhood and student years, Sattva Guna helps with learning and intellectual development as we gain education and skills. As we move into professional life, Rajas guna becomes more active, empowering us to implement knowledge, establish careers and financial security, accumulate wealth, build stability, form relationships, and fulfill social obligations.

The latter half of life represents a fundamental shift in focus—from outer to inner, from acquisition to renunciation, from doing to non-doing. Particularly after retirement, Tamas Guna grows in importance during this phase, offering the rest and inner quietude necessary for deeper reflection. It is Tamas guna that enables us to withdraw from compulsive activity, settle into stillness, create a relaxed mind, and cultivate the peace required for spiritual realization. This ideal progression, however, depends on one critical factor: balance.

What Happens When Gunas Are Imbalanced?

While the Gunas guide us through life's stages, their influence must remain balanced. Each guna, when excessive, creates a problem. Sattva guna in excess cultivates pride and ego, creating barriers to further progress. The light that should illuminate becomes blinding, and knowledge becomes a source of arrogance rather than wisdom. 

Rajas Guna in excess creates restlessness and compulsive activity. The person becomes trapped in workaholism, unable to rest and unable to sit quietly. This constant activity drains both mental and physical energy, leaving the body and mind exhausted.

Tamas Guna in excess during youth or working years creates stagnation. Growth stops, and potential remains unfulfilled.

Which Guna Helps After Death?

A crucial question emerges: which of the three gunas serves us not only in this life but also beyond death? The answer reveals an important truth about spiritual preparation.

Sattva and Rajas guna certainly help us live well in this world. They bring happiness, achievement, and fulfilment while living. However, their usefulness ends at death. In the afterlife, there is no knowledge to gain, no work to accomplish, no goals to pursue.

When Sattva or Rajas Guna remains dominant at death, the soul continues to pursue its unfulfilled work. Without a physical body, it cannot study or work. This creates a tragic condition; the soul wanders restlessly, driven by unfulfilled desires, unable to satisfy them, and experiencing immense suffering.

Tamas Guna, by contrast, serves us both in life and after death. In life, it provides the rest and rejuvenation essential for health and balance. But its deeper significance lies in its spiritual dimension.

Practising to keep quiet, without doing anything, creates a state of deep calmness and silence. This quality cultivates Nemmadi.When Nemmadi is achieved deeply during life, it continues beyond the physical body. This is the peace that death cannot disturb.

This naturally evolves into Yoga Nidra, the divine sleep exemplified by Lord Ranganatha. Most significantly, Tamas Guna leads toward Nirguna—the doorway to self realization. But what exactly is this state that lies beyond all qualities?

What Is Nirguna?

Nirguna is a state without any qualities (Guna), where only bliss (Ananda) is experienced. The ultimate goal of spiritual practice is to become Chivam, the pure spirit. Chivam is described as Nirguna, Nirakara (formless), and Achanchala (unchanging). Understanding this intellectually is valuable, but the real question remains: how does one actually reach this supreme state?

Becoming Chivam

The journey requires a specific process, guided by one who has already transcended.

The Master, who exists beyond all Guṇas, guides seekers toward the same Nirguna state by allowing his Chivam energy to work within the practitioner. He serves as both guide and catalyst.

Initially, all three gunas: Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas, must be balanced so that none dominates destructively. Through remembrance of the Master and the practice of Silentation, all qualities (gunas) are gradually dissolved. Ultimately, the practitioner transcends all gunas entirely and becomes Chivam. A condition of absolute stillness, bliss beyond experience, and consciousness beyond subject and object. It is Nirguna, the stateless state, the goal of all seeking, the end of all journeys. 

Here, the soul finally rests in its true nature, free from the cycle of birth and death, established in eternal peace, realized as the infinite awareness that was always present.

Yeh Dosti: The Friend Who Never Leaves

Have you ever imagined what it would feel like to have someone who walks with you through every season of your life? Someone whose presence remains constant through your highest victories and your deepest struggles? Not someone who necessarily tells you what to do, but whose unwavering companionship gives you the strength and courage to face anything that comes your way? A friend who celebrates when you succeed and offers comfort during setbacks simply by being there—one who never abandons you, no matter what?

We are all blessed to have such a person’s presence in our lives. He is our beloved Subramanya Shiva Balan—our dear comrade. 

Beyond Master and Disciple

While he has been a Master, offering guidance and wisdom, what truly makes the relationship between us as disciples and him as Master beautiful is when we accept him not just as a guide, but as a dear person in our lives—perhaps a brother, a father, or a friend. When we embrace him as someone close to our hearts, the connection deepens and becomes stronger.

Ultimately, it is not wisdom alone that transforms us—it is his energy. And perceiving him as a dear person helps us love him unconditionally and accept him wholeheartedly. This loving acceptance is what enables us to internalise him, and in turn, draw his transformative energy more deeply.

So, how do we call a friend or brother affectionately? By their name. So too, we can call our dear comrade by his name with affection, as “Balappa” or “Balanna”.

A Presence Beyond the Physical 

Though we are not always physically present with him, his energy is always with us. This is the beauty of true connection—it transcends physical boundaries. His energy flows to us wherever we are, in whatever situation we find ourselves. Knowing he is with us bringscomfort. Establishing him within us brings transformation.

The Power of Internalization

Internalization is the key to establishing him within us. Once he is completely established within us, we will experience something truly marvelous. But how do we establish him within us? The answer is beautifully simple: constant remembrance with love.

The Secret of Constant Remembrance

Here lies the secret: Don't ask him for anything. Just remember him. Feel his presence in your heart. Expecting him to help us through difficult times, or asking him to solve our problems, actually hinders his energy from working freely within us. When we attach expectations to our remembrance, we create barriers. Simply remember that he is always with us, no matter what. This constant remembrance—without demands, without requests, without conditions—allows his energy to flow through us without obstruction.

The Transformative Benefits of Remembrance

1. Mind Becomes Calm and Silent

When we remember him with love, the mind's  noise begins to fade. Thoughts lose its strength because remembrance connects us to the energy of stillness itself.

2. Negativity and Suffering Diminish

His presence within acts as a purifier. Fear, anger, anxiety, and worries begin to weaken as his energy silently removes impurities from our minds, dissolving suffering at its root.

3. Connection to Higher Energy

He is the living source of divine energy. When we remember him sincerely, we become receptive to that energy. It flows into us naturally, guiding and transforming us even without conscious effort.

4. Protection and Positivity

Continuous remembrance creates a protective field around us. We begin to feel safe, strong, and positive even amid difficult circumstances. His energy silently shields us from harmful influences—his remembrance becomes our armor of light.

5. Clarity and Right Direction

When his energy works within us, confusion dissolves. Decisions become clearer, and our lives align with inner truth. His remembrance opens our intuition and awakens the voice of truth within.

6. Transformation of the Mind

Through deep remembrance, the ordinary human mind begins to change its very nature. It slowly transforms from desire, expectation, and ego into purity and nothingness—Chivam—the ultimate goal of Chivality.

7. Continuous Presence and Oneness

When remembrance becomes natural and effortless, we begin to feel he is everywhere, in everything. We are never alone—we are immersed in his energy as long as we remember him. And ultimately, when he is completely established within us, something beautiful happens: we forget to remember him because we have become one with him.

Conclusion:

The greatest gift of friendship is not advice or intervention—it's presence. And that's exactly what he offers us. Not rescue from our struggles, but companionship through them. When we stop seeking solutions and simply cherish the presence, when we stop making demands and simply rest in love, something shifts. This friend becomes the very breath within us.

So remember him. Call him Balappa or  Balanna—with the same ease and warmth of calling an old friend. No rituals needed. Just pure, simple remembrance. Remember him when you wake, when you work, when you rest. Remember him not to get something, but because he is dear to you. And in that remembrance, watch how life unfolds differently. He is here. He has always been here. And he will always be here—in every stumble and every victory, in every doubt and every certainty. “Yeh dosti hum nahin todhenge,” this friendship is eternal.

*Liberation through the Living Master*

When the Master attains liberation, he becomes one with the infinite Consciousness — the state beyond mind and ego. In that supreme condition, the Master’s energy becomes divine, pure, and all-pervading. Such a liberated Master holds the sacred power to guide and liberate others who truly depend upon Him.

Those who sincerely and completely depend upon the living Master can attain liberation through His presence and guidance. The Master is not merely a teacher of knowledge but the embodiment of living consciousness that works silently in the seeker’s inner space. His energy cleanses the impressions, thoughts, and negativities of the mind, preparing the seeker to enter into stillness and eventually into liberation.

To receive this grace, the seeker must be Master-dependent — living by the Master's words with unshakable faith and obedience. The Master-dependent person does not question or interpret the Master's instructions through personal logic but follows them with humility and surrender. This surrender opens the seeker to receive the Master's energy directly, allowing transformation to happen naturally within.

For such transformation to take root, the seeker must cultivate certain inner qualities. Honesty keeps the mind transparent and free from deceit. Tolerance strengthens the seeker to bear all difficulties and tests with calmness. Non-hatredness keeps the heart pure, free from division and negative emotions. When these three qualities mature within, the seeker becomes fully receptive to the Master's grace.

The path to liberation is not through effort alone but through dependence upon the living Master, whose energy silently leads the seeker from impurity to purity, from restlessness to stillness, and from mind to nothingness — the ultimate state of Chivam, the condition of total liberation.

*Spiritual Progress and the Nature of the Mind*

In spirituality, one has to become gradually positive. The negative mind within us never cooperates in this process, for it does not want to give up its attachment to the materialistic world. True spiritual progress begins when a person starts developing disinterest in materialistic life.

Since this negative mind has been with us for many births, it cannot be expected to withdraw from worldly attractions all at once. The purpose of spiritual practice is to cultivate positivity and purity gradually. As the mind becomes purer, detachment from materialistic life naturally follows.

Therefore, practicing spirituality is often very difficult for one who is deeply materialistic. It requires patience, perseverance, and sincere effort to transform the long-conditioned negative mind into a pure and positive one.

*Namachivayam*🌙

Message 17 Oct

 *Friday Spiritual Message No: 19*

The main purpose of Chivality practice is the regular cleansing of impressions, maintaining the mind pure and free from impurities. In Chivality, this cleansing is accomplished through the Master's energy. Through this process, the practitioner experiences an emptiness within, created by the removal of accumulated impressions. The purity attained brings lightness of mind and inner calmness to the seeker. The practice of Silentation in Chivality aims to maintain this calmness consistently, allowing the seeker to remain serene at all times.

*Chivality Cosmology: NAMACHIVAAYAM*

In Chivality, the entire universe is described through five fundamental stages of existence, each represented in Tamil syllables. Together, they form the sacred word NAMACHIVAAYAM.

1. *NA – Nalu (Four Elements)*

Fire, Earth, Water, and Air combined. Represents the physical foundation of the universe.

2. *MA – Manas (Space)*

The fifth element: Space.

Considered as Mind (Manas). Includes the magnetic field of the Earth.

3. *CHI – Chitha (Pure Mind)*

The non-magnetic field of the Earth. Represents Chitha, the purified state of mind beyond magnetic influences.

4. *VA – Vanam (Outer Space)*

The vast outermost space beyond Earth. Symbolizes the limitless expanse of existence.

5. *YA – Yamam (Black Hole, The Ultimate)*

The black hole, where everything dissolves. The ultimate stage of Nothingness, beyond all creation.

Altogether: *NA + MA + CHI + VA + YA = NAMACHIVAAYAM*

This is not just a word but a complete map of existence in Chivality — from the physical elements to the highest state of dissolution in Nothingness.

*Namachivayam🌙*

Message 4 Oct

 *Friday Spiritual Article No:17*

God is not a person with qualities, but Space itself — pure, infinite, and free of impurities. To become one with God means to become like space: free of desires, attachments, and all impurities of the human mind. Desires, expectations, fears, and attachments are what pollute the mind.

As long as desires persist, the mind keeps moving toward fulfillment and remains restless. When desires vanish, the mind becomes empty, still, and pure — identical to the condition of Nothingness.

Desires are endless; fulfilling one only leads to another. Chivality teaches that lasting peace is not found in chasing fulfillment but in ending the very chain of desiring.

1)  The Journey to Sainthood: Understanding the Path Beyond Material Life

Why Do People Become Saints? 

This is a question rarely asked because most people do not aspire to become saints. Yet understanding this journey offers insights into our deeper spiritual calling.    

Saintliness is the condition of a human being who becomes unsatisfied with materialistic things. A true saint is someone who continuously searches for something beyond everything that this world offers. When material possessions, achievements, and worldly pleasures no longer bring fulfillment, the soul begins its quest for higher meaning.

The Beginning of the Spiritual Search

This spiritual search is not common for everyone. Most people's search stops when they find satisfaction in material things. However, for some individuals, no amount of worldly success brings lasting peace. It is at this point that the spiritual journey begins. 

The search for the ultimate truth continues for many years until one achieves complete satisfaction of the mind. During this period, the seeker may abandon the materialistic life and begin on physical journeys, traveling from place to place in search of answers, and eventually find the right place where they can settle and continue their spiritual practice without constant movement.

The Role of Spiritual Guidance

The attraction towards the materialistic world never motivates anyone to begin this search. Instead, the quest often arises from listening to spiritual talks or reading spiritual books, which create questions without immediate answers. At this crucial juncture, the seeker may try to find the right Master who can provide guidance and clarity.

A right Master plays a vital role in satisfying the disciple's quest and helping them realize the ultimate truth. The connection between Master and disciple is most important for anyone searching for spiritual enlightenment. During this spiritual journey, numerous questions and doubts naturally arise. If these doubts are not properly clarified, the search may come to a halt.

Finding the right Master for a disciple is often difficult. Similarly, finding the right disciple for a Master is equally challenging. This sacred relationship requires perfect compatibility and mutual understanding.

The Difference Between Saintly and Materialistic Life

Saintly life is fundamentally different from materialistic life. Materialistic life demands numerous comforts and luxuries to maintain happiness in this world. However, these facilities and luxuries do not create happiness for a saint. Despite having access to all worldly comforts, a materialistic person can still transform into a saint when their inner search begins. The saint becomes so deeply involved in their spiritual quest that they have little time or interest in materialistic activities. The needs of a saint become simple and minimal. What once seemed essential for happiness becomes meaningless when compared to the joy of inner discovery.

The Transformation Journey

It is important to understand that initially, all saints were materialistic people just like  everyone else. However, their transformation into saints occurred due to their persistent search for something beyond everything.

This transformation doesn't happen overnight. It is a gradual process where the person slowly loses attachment to worldly things while developing a deeper attachment to spiritual practices and self-inquiry. The external life may appear to become simpler, but the internal life becomes infinitely richer.

The Ultimate Realization

Once their spiritual search reaches completion, saints realize the ultimate truth of existence, the realization of their true "Self," not the limited identity defined by name, form, profession, or relationships, but their eternal, unchanging essence.

This self-realization brings complete fulfillment that no material achievement could ever provide. The saint discovers that what they were searching for externally was always present within. This understanding marks the end of seeking and the beginning of being established in truth.

----------

The Living Dead: Understanding This Spiritual Condition

What is the Living Dead Condition?

The condition of the Living Dead means the seeker has gone beyond the ordinary egodriven life. The "I" that clings, desires, and fears has dissolved, but the body continues to live. This is a state where a person has died to their ego-self while still living in the physical world.

Characteristics of the Living Dead Condition

Inner State and Mental Condition

Complete Inner Silence: Silence prevails within. The constant mental chatter has stopped, and only pure stillness fills the mind.

No Ego: There is no "I" that claims ownership of actions. Things simply happen without a personal doer.

Unshakeable Stillness: Whatever happens externally (loss, insult, illness, or praise) does not disturb their stillness. Joy and sorrow are like passing clouds; they remain like the sky. They live fully in the present because the past and future hold no grip on them.

Daily Life Activities and Relationship with the World

Physical Needs Without Attachment: The body still has to be maintained. Eating, drinking, and sleeping happen as before. But there is no attachment or indulgence. Food is taken as fuel, not as enjoyment. They neither resist nor cling. If food comes, they eat; if not, they are equally peaceful.

Transformed Relationships: Outwardly, they may interact with family, friends, or society. But inwardly, there is no possessiveness. No "my son, my wife, my property" as a binding thought. Love flows naturally, without expectations. They may care deeply, but without attachment or fear of loss.

Complete Detachment: The Living Dead do not run after possessions, achievements, or relationships for fulfillment. They engage with society when needed but remain untouched by praise, blame, success, or failure. Nothing binds them.

Natural Action Without Doer-ship: They do what comes naturally, without a personal agenda. Work gets done, but there is no pride, no burden, and no anxiety about results. 

Natural Compassionate Presence: Often, such a person radiates peace and helps others, not by effort, but by the natural overflow of stillness. They remain in their families or society but free of attachments. Their mere presence uplifts others. 

Teaching Through Being: Sometimes they may guide directly, but mostly, their silence and being itself becomes the teaching.

Death Without Fear: Death for them is not an event, because the "I" who dies has already dissolved. The body falls like a worn-out cloth, but they were already free while living. A living dead person lives in the materialistic world until physical death because the body still has prana, but inwardly they are free, like a lamp kept in a windless place, burning without flicker.

-------

The Master's Role in Our Transformation

The Path of Constant Remembrance

The journey to the Living Dead condition begins through constant remembrance of the Master. This remembrance brings the Master's energy into the seeker. This energy gradually demolishes thoughts, ego, and negativity.

The journey begins with "remember to forget" and progresses to "forget to remember." When remembrance deepens, the seeker naturally slips into Silentation. At an advanced stage, the seeker forgets to remember because remembrance itself has transformed into stillness.

Until one reaches this condition, one requires the Master. Once the inner Master (My Master) is completely established through constant remembrance with unconditional love, what remains is pure stillness (Nishchala tattvam). This stillness leads to Jeevan Mukti or the Living Dead condition (Nishchalatattve Jeevanmukti). This condition is the "Beginning of Becoming Chivam." Here, the "I" is gone, but the body remains alive. On reaching this condition, he becomes the "Master of himself."

The stillness established within will naturally lead to becoming Chivam.

Why the Master's Presence Remains Essential?

The Anchor of Stability: The Master is the anchor, the one who stabilizes stillness in the seeker. Without the Master's grace, the seeker might slip into dullness without inner transformation.

Energy Transmission: With Master's energy, the seeker lives as stillness in action, radiating peace without effort. The Master's physical Presence strengthens the stillness and prevents subtle ego or thought from creeping back until the “I” is completely dissolved.

Regular Recharging: In Chivality, just remembrance of the Master and the Silentation practice are not enough. While constant remembrance and Silentation practice help us stay mentally connected with the Master when we are physically away from Him, attending Chivasangh helps strengthen this connection. Attending Chivasangh at Mouna Mantapa and being in the presence of the Master at least once a week is essential to recharge with Master's energy.

Cleansing of the mind happens faster and naturally in Chivasangh, as it is like bathing in a river; the water flowing is naturally cleansing without much effort, as the Master's energy flows like a river and cleanses the mind without any effort from our end. When we are away from Him, we have to draw His energy and then cleanse, like collecting water in a bucket first and then bathing; this requires effort.

During Chivasangh, energy transmission occurs naturally, sustaining and deepening the stillness.

Conclusion:  A person who has attained the Living Dead condition lives like ordinary people outwardly, but inwardly they are free, silent, unattached, and established in stillness. They have transcended the ego while continuing to live in the world.

The Living Dead condition represents the ultimate potential of a human life, a state where one lives with complete freedom while remaining fully engaged with the world. These individuals become beacons, showing that the highest spiritual realization is not an escape from life but the most authentic way of living. Through the Master's grace and devoted remembrance, what seems impossible becomes natural.

Message 26 Sep

 *Friday Spiritual Article No: 16*

Dear Abhyasis,

Every suffering you undergo (fear, anxiety, worry, desires, and expectations) arises from karmaphala and samskaras of earlier births. These are the burdens carried by the mind.

Through Chivality practice and the Master’s Chivam Energy, these burdens are gradually reduced. As negativity fades, positive perceptions blossom naturally within you.

When positive perceptions increase:

- Your mind becomes clear and steady.

- You begin to see life with balance and hope.

- Fear loses its grip, and inner strength grows.

- Relationships transform with compassion and understanding.

- You discover joy in simplicity, peace in silence, and contentment in what is.

Thus, step by step, you lead a better life in the world while moving closer to the eternal stillness of Chivam.

Stay steady in Silentation. Remembrance of the Master is your support. The journey is certain, and transformation is inevitable.

Message 19 sep

 *Friday Spiritual Article No: 15*

Chivam is the origin of everything. All existence, including space, nature, and life, emerges from Chivam. Everything remains a part of Chivam, except the human mind.

The human mind carries impurities. Desires, expectations, and negative qualities fill the mind, creating separation from the original state of Chivam.

When these impurities are removed through Silentation and the Master’s energy, the carrier of impurities, the mind itself, dissolves.

Mind becomes Nothing.

What remains is the pure essence, which merges into Nothingness (Chivam), the ultimate condition.

Summary:

Chivam is both the source and the destination. When the mind dissolves, the seeker realizes that their true being was always a part of Chivam, the infinite Nothingness.

 1) Who Am I? - A Journey of Self-Discovery

“Who am I?” This is the most frequently heard question when one starts to be curious on the path of spirituality. This fundamental question has been asked by every saint, marking the beginning of their journey of self-discovery. Though it may sound very simple, it is not asked by just anyone, but by someone who feels that they are lacking something in this materialistic world and wants to seek a deeper meaning in their life. So, really, “Who am I?” 

"I" is not merely a name given at birth, a profession we identify with, or the roles we play each day—such as parent, friend, employee, or citizen. These are just the layers we wear to identify ourselves at any point in our lives. These layers keep changing at each stage of life. The true "I" is an unchanging entity that was created by an infinitely small fragment of the vast space of the universe. So essentially, "I" am a part of the vast "Nothing" of the universe. 

The Chivality practice focuses on only one ultimate goal: to realize our authentic self, thus attaining Mukti. To reach this understanding, we must let go of all negative qualities that cloud our mind. Qualities like anger, fear, jealousy, pride, etc. These qualities are not who we really are and serve neither us nor others.   

The path to self-discovery requires us to become like a speck of sand in the vast ocean. A speck is silent and makes no disturbance. This is why the Silentation practice is so powerful. Through silence, we learn to dissolve the noise of our restless minds and connect with something  deeper. To become this peaceful speck, we must first become Nirguna—free from all negative  qualities that weigh us down.

These roles we play in the materialistic world are necessary for functioning in society, but only a Gnani can help us understand that we are none of these roles. These roles are just for us to pass the time in this life, and they are nothing to be taken seriously. One who truly understands this remains undisturbed within and therefore does not react easily.

What makes us human is our mind, but this same mind often becomes our greatest obstacle in knowing our true selves. We must learn to empty our mind through silence, which has the power to dissolve all negativity. Our mind can be compared to an onion. Like the many layers of an onion, the mind also has many layers. Attachments, identities, and old impressions each form a separate layer. Through dedicated practice, we peel away these layers one by one until nothing remains. This "Nothing" is our true self, free from all limitations and suffering. 

When we begin to shed our negativity and become more positive, it's a clear sign that we're making genuine progress toward Mukti. One of the biggest obstacles on this path is how we handle our daily responsibilities. Responsibilities themselves aren't the problem—they're a natural part of life. The real issue is worrying about what we haven't accomplished or what we might not complete. This worry creates a heavy burden on the mind, leaving deep impressions that eventually become karmaphala.

The key is to fulfill our responsibilities without anxiety about what remains unfinished. We must do what we can with sincerity and dedication and let go of the outcome. This doesn't mean being careless or lazy. It means acting from a place of inner peace  rather than worry.

Today, we may identify strongly with the various roles we play and take pride or pain from them. But the deeper truth is that we are none of these roles. When we truly understand this, we can perform any role without mental suffering. The pain, stress, and struggle we feel are not truly ours, for at our core, we are beyond them all. You're not the “thing” that receives any pain, since you are “NOTHING.”

Therefore, in essence, the journey to discovering our true selves is not about escaping life but about engaging with it more consciously. When we perform our responsibilities without attachment and free ourselves from the mental weight of worry, we stop creating new impressions. Through silence, self-inquiry, and letting go of negativity, we gradually return to our original state—pure, peaceful, and free.

True liberation, or Mukti, is not something far away. It is the natural result of realizing that we are not the changing roles we play, but the unchanging awareness behind them. In that realization, all suffering ends, and what remains is stillness, clarity, and an unshakable inner bliss.

2. Breaking Free from the Cycle of Suffering

Have you ever wondered why suffering seems to follow us through life, even when we try our best to avoid it? The answer lies in understanding karmaphala, the fruits of our actions that have been imprinted in our subconscious mind.

So, what is karmaphala? Whenever we do any action (karma), the mind often worries constantly about the results of that action. It wishes for success or fears the failure of that action. The mind is also adept at creating sorrow for the actions that were done in the past. Thus, the thoughts that constantly weigh the mind down create what is called karmaphala.

This karmaphala is of three types, depending on when it was created:

Sanchita: This karmaphala was generated in previous births and becomes the main reason for the current birth.

Prarabdha: Karmaphala created during this current birth due to excessive thoughts and worries.

Aagami: Residual karmaphala that is left after suffering in this birth. It is carried over to the next birth. It is a mixture of both sanchita and prarabdha.

The goal of life is to accept our accumulated karmaphala (sanchita) with patience and allow it to be completely exhausted. In this life, we must remain mentally detached from the actions we perform so that new karmaphala (prarabdha) is not created.

The Chivality system focuses on reducing karmaphala through silence. As karmaphala dissolves, mental disturbances fade, and deep, lasting peace arises. Karmaphala is the root cause of both joy and sorrow. When a person becomes free from karmaphala, they transcend all emotional extremes and remain undisturbed, whether facing praise or blame, gain or loss.

We are born in this world because of karmaphala. The purpose of this birth is to attain Mukti (liberation) and become completely free from it.

How is karmaphala created? It mainly arises when we do things we don't like or act under compulsion. Regretting incomplete tasks and constantly worrying about them can also generate karmaphala.

The solution is strikingly simple: If you wish to do something, do it with full presence. If you cannot do it, let it go without worry. Likewise, if you don't want to do something,  simply don't do it. This isn't about being irresponsible; it's about acting from a place of clarity rather than compulsion.

As karmaphala reduces, our perception begins to shift positively. We start seeing situations differently, responding with more wisdom and less reactivity. This positive shift in perception is a reliable sign that our karmaphala is decreasing. 

When karmaphala is completely destroyed, even the memory of painful incidents naturally fades away. At the time of death, if all karmaphala has been erased, Mukti can be attained. This is why the Chivality system focuses so much on clearing these karmaphala while we're still alive.

Life will always present difficulties. Problems arise when work isn't done correctly or when circumstances don't align with our expectations. Difficulties are inevitable, but suffering is optional. While difficulties come from outside circumstances, suffering comes from within—from how we choose to respond.

The key is not to think obsessively about difficulties when they arise. If we don't feed them with excessive mental attention, we won't create additional karmaphala. It's like a fire; without fuel, it naturally dies out.

During times of hardship, avoid blaming external causes or people. This restraint helps reduce existing karmaphala rather than adding to it. Instead of getting lost in endless analysis of why something happened, practice tolerance. Let the difficulty pass through you like clouds passing through the sky. Acknowledge it, but let it not settle in your mind.

When Chivam energy is available to you, suffering gradually disappears. As the saying goes, “Shiva Shiva endare suffering illa”; when we connect with Chivam, suffering simply cannot exist in that space.

3) The question 'Who am I?' is not really meant to get an answer; the question 'Who am I?' is meant to dissolve the questioner.

Freedom Within: The Path Beyond Reaction and Thought 

A true Gnani never interferes with another person's freedom. This principle reveals one of the most important truths on the spiritual path: everyone is on their own journey, with the inherent right to make their own choices, even when those choices affect us directly.

This understanding isn't always easy to accept. Our natural impulse is often to correct others, control outcomes, or shape circumstances to our preferences. Yet real growth happens when we step back and allow life to unfold without judgment or force. When we begin to experience freedom within ourselves, we truly respect others' freedom.

The Foundation of Inner Freedom

Consider this simple example: A spiritual seeker was travelling from village to village.One afternoon, after walking for many hours under the sun, he felt very hungry.

He approached a small house where a man was sitting in the shade and said gently, “Could you please give me some food? I haven’t eaten since morning.”

The man looked at him briefly, then replied, “Not today,” and turned away without another word. The seeker stood silently for a moment. Then, with calm acceptance, he bowed his head and walked away, holding no resentment. He had the wisdom to understand that the man had the right to say no, just as he had the freedom to ask.

It is in moments like these that the real practice begins. Even in our own lives, it is these simple moments that reveal how much we’ve really grown. These experiences serve as tests of our spiritual maturity, revealing how free we truly are within when we release our expectations of how others should behave.

The Sadhu: Beyond Reaction

A sadhu possesses one remarkable quality: they do not react to situations. Whether encountering something pleasant or unpleasant, they remain calm and centered.This doesn't mean they are cold or uncaring —rather, they have learned to maintain peace regardless of circumstances, understanding that reactive emotions only create more inner turbulence.

The sadhu has discovered that external events need not dictate internal states. They respond rather than react, choosing their engagement with life from a place of centered awareness rather than emotional compulsion.

The Paramasadhu: Beyond Thought

There exists an even higher state called Paramasadhu, one who has transcended thinking itself. Most people are controlled by constant mental activity—thinking too much about the past, worrying about the future, and judging the present. A Paramasadhu lives beyond this mental chatter.

This doesn't mean they've lost the ability to think when necessary. Rather, they are no longer controlled by their thoughts. They can choose when to think and when not to, free from the pressure of constant, unwanted thinking.

The Progression of Spiritual Growth

• An ordinary person reacts to everything with emotions and thoughts, pulled by external circumstances.
• A Sadhu has learned not to react, staying calm regardless of what happens around them.
• A Paramasadhu has transcended even thinking itself, living beyond mental chatter.

Necessary Awareness for Daily Living

These teachings are not just abstract ideas— they are wisdom meant to be lived every day. The path of transformation begins with  honest self-inquiry: When someone treats us rudely, can we remain calm? When we don't receive what we want, can we accept it peacefully? When our minds fill with worries, can we find the quiet awareness that exists beyond all thoughts?

This application of wisdom transforms ordinary life into a genuine spiritual practice. It begins with manageable steps: not complaining when we must wait longer than expected, not reacting when someone speaks unkindly, and gradually learning to find inner peace regardless of external circumstances.

Transformation of the mind

The goal is to discover the peace and freedom that comes when our emotions and racing thoughts no longer control us. This journey represents the essence of spiritual transformation, evolving from being a victim of circumstances to becoming a master of our inner state, regardless of what life presents.

True freedom isn't found in controlling others or circumstances, but in discovering the unshakeable peace that exists within us, a peace that no external condition can touch.
