1) Dear Abhyasis,
The practice of positivity is the cornerstone of our journey. Without embracing positivity, progress toward higher levels of existence becomes unattainable.
The spiritual journey unfolds through four stages:
1. Divine (Ātman): The foundation stage.
2. Super Divine (Brahman): Progressing toward higher awareness.
3. Superior Divine (Parabrahma or Vishnu): Attaining profound spiritual heights.
4. Supreme Divine (Chivam): The ultimate state of transcendence.
As we ascend these stages, the dissolution of the mind occurs progressively:
25% in the Divine stage,
50% in the Super Divine stage,
75% in the Superior Divine stage, and
100% in the Supreme Divine stage.
In the Divine stage, intense negative qualities such as hatred and vengeance begin to dissolve. As we advance, subtler negative tendencies, like desires and expectations, gradually diminish. Ultimately, all negativity is eradicated, leaving only purity and positivity.
This transformation is experienced through constant self-observation and sincere practice. Let us strive to become beacons of positivity, as this is the path to true spiritual evolution.
2) Dear abhyasis,
All stages mentioned above are different consciousness experienced by the practitioner.
Each consciousness has its own perceptions. While progressing spiritually, the magnitude of feelings, sentiments, belief etc. get reduced and can start experiencing a freedom from all these things
Generally, human beings are controlled by their minds. One can experience freedom from the mind slowly. At last, you will be completely freed from the mind which causes suffering.
3) Dear Abhyasis,
The stages mentioned above represent different levels of consciousness experienced by the practitioner.
Each level of consciousness brings its own unique perceptions. As one progresses spiritually, the intensity of emotions, sentiments, and beliefs begins to diminish, allowing a sense of freedom to emerge from these attachments.
In general, human beings are governed by their minds. Through consistent practice and spiritual growth, one gradually experiences liberation from the mind's influence. Ultimately, this journey leads to complete freedom from the mind, which is the source of much suffering.
Let us move forward with trust and perseverance toward this ultimate liberation.
4) Dear Abhyasis,
Spiritual progress is not achievable without the support of a Master. This support comes in two essential forms: the Master's guidance and the Master's energy.
In our organization, the Master has provided ample guidance to practitioners through his teachings and discourse. However, the Master's energy is equally vital for transforming the practitioner's inner being and overcoming negativity. Guidance alone, without the infusion of this energy, cannot facilitate true spiritual progress.
In the Chivality system, constant remembrance of the Master is of utmost importance. The more a practitioner draws from the Master's energy, the greater the positivity that develops within. This energy purifies and uplifts, creating the conditions for deeper transformation.
For this to happen, the practitioner must cultivate a mindset of complete surrender. There should be a profound feeling that "The Master is everything to me, and I value him above all else. I will adhere strictly to his guidance." This attitude, when developed, amplifies the results of remembrance and strengthens the connection to the Master's transformative energy.
Remember, the Master is the bridge that can remove your sufferings and guide you to the edge of liberation. Trust, surrender, and remembrance are the keys to unlocking this divine support.
Let us commit ourselves fully to this path and cherish the gift of the Master's presence in our lives.
Abhyasi- When I joined the organization, it was SSS, I.e, sadhane, smarane and samarpane. Sadhane was doing silentation, smarane was constant remembrance in all yr transactions from day to night. Samarpane is surrender of mind to master. I was also told that if sadhane and smarane is done sincerely invoking the master, samarpane happens automatically. I was also told that I have to see the physical master through my inner master or the internalized master to understand the true worth and value of the physical master. Only then we can understand the physical master fully or realize the true worth of the physical master. This was my understanding of our system then and even now.
5) Abhyasi-As we ascend these stages, the dissolution of the mind occurs progressively:
25% in the Divine stage,
In the Divine stage, intense negative qualities such as hatred and vengeance begin to dissolve.
50% in the Super Divine stage,
subtler negative tendencies, like desires and expectations, gradually diminish.
75% in the Superior Divine stage
100% in the Supreme Divine stage.
Ultimately, all negativity is eradicated, leaving only purity and positivity.
*Master can you please give more details on indicators of progress at each level, which will help us self introspect?*
