Message 8-July

 Constant Remembrance and Liberation

Liberation is possible only when the human mind is gradually dissolved. The dissolution of the mind does not mean the destruction of intelligence or the inability to function in the world. Rather, it means the dissolution of everything that binds the individual to suffering and limitation—attachments, desires, expectations, possessiveness, selfish feelings, emotional disturbances, and all negative qualities. As these gradually disappear, the mind becomes pure, silent, and free.

The ordinary human mind is filled with negative energy because it is continuously influenced by fear, anger, jealousy, hatred, pride, greed, anxiety, worries, disappointments, and countless desires. These negative vibrations create restlessness and prevent the individual from experiencing inner peace. Therefore, the transformation of this negative energy into positive Divine energy is essential for spiritual evolution.

According to Chivality, this transformation is not possible merely through personal effort or positive thinking. It is accomplished through the Divine energy of the Master—the energy of Chivam. The Master's energy alone has the power to purify the mind, reduce its impurities, and gradually transform the seeker into a Divine being.

There are two ways to receive the Master's energy. The first is by physically remaining in the presence of the Master. However, it is not possible for everyone to stay with the Master at all times. The second, and more practical way, is through constant remembrance of the Master. Whenever the Master is remembered with love, faith, and sincerity, the connection with His Divine energy is established. This remembrance becomes an invisible channel through which the energy of Chivam continuously flows into the seeker.

For this reason, diary writing has been prescribed as an important spiritual discipline. A diary is not merely a record of daily events; it is a tool to cultivate uninterrupted remembrance of the Master. Before beginning any activity, think within yourself, "I am doing this for my beloved Master." At the end of the day, lovingly record your actions, experiences, thoughts, and observations in the diary as though you are reporting them to the Master with humility and devotion.

When every action is performed in remembrance of the Master, the mind naturally becomes alert and disciplined. One cannot knowingly perform actions that would hurt, deceive, insult, or disturb others while sincerely feeling that the action is being done for the Master. Thus, remembrance itself becomes a powerful guide for righteous living.

Anything that creates disturbance to yourself or to others should be recognized as a negative quality. Such qualities include anger, hatred, jealousy, selfishness, fear, anxiety, excessive expectations, pride, greed, impatience, and all forms of negativity. On the other hand, thoughts, words, and actions that bring peace, harmony, love, compassion, humility, patience, forgiveness, and happiness to yourself and others are positive qualities. These positive qualities naturally increase as the Master's energy works within you.

As you continue this practice, you will begin to observe remarkable changes within yourself. Your reactions become milder. Your fears, anxieties, worries, and emotional disturbances gradually diminish. Your mind becomes calmer, your decisions become wiser, and your relationships become more harmonious. Others, too, will notice a positive transformation in your behavior, speech, and presence.

This gradual purification of the mind is the path to liberation. A liberated person continues to live in the material world, performs all necessary duties, and fulfills responsibilities, yet remains inwardly unattached. Such a person is no longer mentally bound by possessions, relationships, desires, or worldly ambitions. Though living amidst the world, the liberated one remains free from its bondage and abides in inner peace.

Therefore, never neglect your diary writing. Write it every day with love, sincerity, and constant remembrance of the Master. Let every page strengthen your connection with Him. Over time, this simple but profound practice will deepen your remembrance, draw the Master's Divine energy into your life, purify your mind, transform your nature, and steadily lead you towards liberation.

Chivality: Protection from Negativity and the Path to Liberation

The practice of Chivality is not intended to attack, oppose, or offend anyone. Its purpose is to protect the seeker from negativity and from the negative qualities that exist both within oneself and in the materialistic world. A true spiritual seeker does not live to conquer others; rather, he or she strives to conquer the inner enemies that prevent peace and liberation.

The material world is largely driven by desires, competition, selfishness, expectations, attachments, and countless emotional conflicts. Living in such an environment is not easy. Every day, we encounter situations that test our patience, disturb our peace, and provoke negative reactions. If we respond with the same negativity, we only strengthen the bondage of the mind.

At the same time, living in this world without any compromise is often impossible. In our family, workplace, and society, compromises become a part of life. However, compromises frequently bring inner pain, disappointment, frustration, and emotional suffering. Failures, criticism, rejection, loss, and unfulfilled expectations also disturb the mind and create fear, anxiety, anger, and helplessness.

The question, therefore, is not how to escape the world, but how to remain peaceful while living in it.

According to Chivality, the answer lies in the Divine protection of Chivam. Human effort alone cannot completely protect the mind from its own impurities. The mind itself is the source of suffering because it is filled with negative qualities. Therefore, what is required is not merely self-control but Divine transformation.

This Divine protection becomes available when the seeker completely surrenders to Chivam through the Divine Master. Surrender is not weakness; it is the willingness to allow the Divine to guide, protect, and transform one's life. When the seeker remembers the Master with faith and sincerity, the energy of Chivam begins to work within. It gradually reduces the disturbances of the mind and strengthens the qualities of peace, patience, love, humility, courage, and acceptance.

The energy of Chivam protects the seeker from everything that disturbs inner peace. It may not always remove external problems immediately, but it changes the way the seeker experiences them. Situations remain the same, yet the suffering gradually disappears because the mind itself is becoming free from negativity.

The responsibility of Chivam is to transform the negative human mind into a positive human mind. As this transformation continues, fear is replaced by courage, anxiety by peace, hatred by love, anger by compassion, selfishness by selflessness, and attachment by freedom. This inner transformation is the true miracle of spiritual life.

Only a positive mind can move towards liberation. A mind filled with negativity remains bound to the material world, while a purified and positive mind naturally progresses towards freedom. Liberation is not attained by escaping the world but by becoming inwardly free from the negativity that binds us to it.

Therefore, the practice of Chivality is a continuous journey of Divine protection and inner transformation. By surrendering to Chivam, remembering the Divine Master, and allowing His energy to work within, the seeker becomes protected from negativity, remains peaceful amidst the challenges of life, and steadily advances towards the ultimate goal—Liberation.

Message 7 July

ME and My Ego – The Journey from Individuality to Divinity

Every human being consists of two distinct principles: Me and Ego. Understanding the difference between these two is one of the greatest steps toward spiritual awakening and liberation.

What is "Me"?

Me is not the body, the mind, the intellect, or the personality.

Me is a subtle Divine energy that has descended from the Supreme Divinity. It is a tiny spark of the Infinite Divine, just as a ray belongs to the sun or a drop belongs to the ocean. By its very nature, Me is pure, peaceful, innocent, and free from all human qualities. In Chivality, this original state is called Chivam—the state beyond all qualities (Nirguna).

Me has no desires, expectations, fear, hatred, jealousy, pride, or suffering. It neither claims ownership nor seeks recognition. It simply exists as pure consciousness.

What is Ego?

The Ego is not Me. It is a protective identity that develops around Me after birth in order to function in the material world.

Initially, this identity helps maintain individual existence. However, as life progresses, the Ego becomes deeply influenced by desires, attachments, fears, emotions, and countless negative tendencies. Gradually, instead of protecting Me, it imprisons Me.

The Ego creates the illusion:

- "I am this body."

- "I am this mind."

- "I am the doer."

- "I am the owner."

- "Everything belongs to me."

Thus, the Ego becomes the greatest obstacle between Me and the Divine.

How the Ego Gains Strength

The Ego derives its strength from negativity.

Every desire strengthens it.

Every attachment strengthens it.

Every fear strengthens it.

Every expectation strengthens it.

Every emotion based on duality strengthens it.

Every act of pride, jealousy, anger, greed, possessiveness, or selfishness feeds the Ego with negative energy.

The stronger the negativity, the stronger the Ego becomes. This strengthened Ego is what may be called the Negative Ego.

Who Controls Human Life?

Although Me is the source of life, it is usually not the one directing human behaviour.

Instead of allowing Me to function through a pure mind and a pure intellect, the Negative Ego takes control.

The Ego makes use of:

- the negative mind,

- the corrupted intellect,

- and the physical body

to fulfil its own desires and ambitions.

After every action, the Ego proudly declares:

"I did this."

"I achieved this."

"This belongs to me."

In reality, the body performs the action, the intellect makes decisions, energy comes from Me, and the universal power behind everything is the Divinity.

Without Me, neither the body, the mind, the intellect, nor the Ego can function even for a single moment.

Who Really Suffers?

People generally say, "I am suffering."

Spiritually speaking, this is not completely true.

Me never suffers.

Me is pure Divine energy.

Pain belongs to the Ego.

The Ego experiences insult.

The Ego experiences failure.

The Ego experiences fear.

The Ego experiences attachment.

The Ego experiences disappointment.

The Ego experiences pleasure and pain.

The Ego alone lives within the world of duality.

Me remains untouched, just as the sky remains untouched by the clouds passing through it.

Me Has No Ownership

Me performs every action through the body, mind, and intellect, yet never claims ownership.

Me knows that everything belongs to the Divine.

Just as a child does not claim ownership over the actions of its mother, Me never claims ownership over the Divine's creation.

Me is only a tiny spark of the Infinite Divine.

The complete knowledge and operation of the universe belong only to the Supreme Divinity.

Therefore, Me lives in surrender rather than ownership.

The Role of the Guru

Liberation is not achieved merely by acquiring spiritual knowledge.

Knowledge can sharpen the intellect, but it cannot dissolve the Ego.

The Ego is far more subtle than intellectual understanding.

Therefore, sincere seekers who long for true freedom naturally search for a realised Guru.

The Guru's greatest work is not merely teaching philosophy.

His real work is gradually reducing the disciple's Ego.

Through discipline, surrender, Divine transmission, and continuous spiritual practice, the Guru slowly weakens the Negative Ego.

As the Ego dissolves, Me begins to shine more clearly.

Eventually, the disciple discovers that what remained hidden all along was the Divine itself.

The Guru does not create Divinity.

He simply removes the barrier that separates Me from the Divinity.

Negative Ego and Positive Ego

Not every form of Ego is harmful.

The Negative Ego is built upon ignorance, desires, attachments, fear, selfishness, pride, and the sense of ownership. It separates Me from the Divine and keeps the individual bound to the cycle of suffering.

The Positive Ego, on the other hand, is a functional identity that allows Me to live responsibly in the world. It works with a purified mind, a purified intellect, and a disciplined body. It performs necessary duties without excessive attachment or selfishness.

As long as Me remains within the physical body, this functional Ego is required for practical living.

However, after liberation—when Me leaves the body and merges with the Infinite Divinity—even this Positive Ego is no longer necessary.

The Goal of Spiritual Life

The purpose of spirituality is not to destroy the individual but to dissolve the Negative Ego.

When the Negative Ego disappears:

The mind becomes pure.

The intellect becomes clear.

The body becomes an instrument of the Divine.

Me regains its original nature.

Finally, Me recognises its oneness with the Infinite Divinity.

This is liberation.

This is freedom.

This is Chivam—the state beyond Ego, beyond duality, beyond suffering, and beyond individuality.

When Ego disappears, only the Divine remains.This presentation distinguishes Me, Negative Ego, and Positive Ego, and explains how the Guru helps dissolve the negative ego so that the original Divine nature (Chivam) can be realised. It also emphasizes that liberation is not merely intellectual knowledge, but the dissolution of the ego that obscures the Divine.

 The Journey of Universal Energy

Universal Energy is regarded as the primal and pure reality from which all existence originates. It is unimaginably subtle, symbolically described as being smaller than an atom. In its original state, it is free, infinite, complete, and untouched by any limitation. It is beyond desires, likes, and dislikes, and therefore remains free from suffering.

The Need for a Vehicle

To descend into the earthly plane and participate in the material world, Universal Energy required a suitable vehicle through which it could function.

The first requirement was a subtle sheath or covering that could establish a connection with the material world. This subtle covering, often referred to as the causal body, possesses a magnetic tendency toward earthly existence. It serves as an intermediary between pure Universal Energy and the gross material world.

However, the causal body alone could not function within the material world. A second vehicle was therefore necessary: a physical body capable of surviving and operating in the material realm.

Among the many life forms that emerged through evolution, the human body proved to be the most suitable vehicle. It possesses the intelligence, nervous system, brain structure, and sensitivity required to express the highest possibilities of consciousness.

Birth of the Human Being

When Universal Energy, together with the causal body, entered the womb of an ape-like ancestor, the first human being was born. Over countless generations, humanity evolved into its present form.

While the physical body evolved through nature, the causal body continued its journey within every human being, gradually manifesting as the human mind.

The Nature of the Human Mind

The mind is not merely a collection of thoughts. It is a storehouse of tendencies, emotions, memories, desires, attachments, expectations, fears, and impressions accumulated through experience.

The mind operates through dualities such as like and dislike, love and hatred, attraction and repulsion, success and failure, and pleasure and pain. These dualities form the foundation of human experience.

Initially, the mind is attracted to objects, people, relationships, possessions, status, and experiences. This attraction gradually develops into liking, love, and attachment. Because of these tendencies, the mind becomes deeply rooted in the material world.

It continuously seeks fulfillment through external things and therefore remains bound to worldly existence.

How Suffering Begins

The same mind that creates liking also creates disliking. Whenever something agrees with our preferences, we experience pleasure. Whenever something opposes our preferences, we experience pain.

Thus, suffering is not created by the world itself; it is created by the mind's reactions to the world.

Two people may face the same situation: one remains peaceful, while the other becomes disturbed. The difference lies not in the situation but in the condition of the mind.

The mind constantly divides existence into what it wants and what it does not want. This division gives birth to conflict, anxiety, fear, jealousy, anger, disappointment, sorrow, and other forms of psychological suffering. As long as the mind continues to operate through likes and dislikes, suffering inevitably follows.

Why Material Achievements Cannot End Suffering

Many believe that suffering can be eliminated by acquiring wealth, power, relationships, knowledge, or recognition. Yet every achievement only creates new desires and expectations. One desire fulfilled gives rise to another, one attachment creates the fear of loss, and one success creates the anxiety of maintaining it.

Therefore, the mind remains trapped in an endless cycle. The root cause of suffering is not the absence of worldly achievements but the presence of the mind itself.

The Meaning of Liberation

Liberation does not mean escaping from the world, abandoning responsibilities, or withdrawing from society. It means freedom from the domination of the mind.

As long as the mind exists with its likes and dislikes, bondage continues. When the mind gradually loses its attachments, expectations, preferences, and aversions, its hold weakens.

Eventually, it reaches a state of complete stillness. In that stillness, all likes, dislikes, desires, fears, and psychological suffering dissolve. The mind no longer functions as a separate entity.

Dissolution of the Mind

The final stage of spiritual evolution is the dissolution of the mind. This does not mean the destruction of intelligence or an inability to function in the world. Rather, it means the disappearance of the psychological structure that creates division and suffering.

When the mind dissolves, the causal body loses its individuality and merges back into its source. The being returns to its original condition, the Universal Energy from which it descended.

In Chivality, this ultimate condition is called Chivam, the state of Nothingness.

Nothingness does not mean emptiness in the ordinary sense. It signifies the absence of individuality, negativity, likes, dislikes, and mental disturbances. Instead, it is a state filled with infinite Universal Energy.

The Ultimate Journey

The being descends from Universal Energy, becomes entangled in the mind, experiences the joys and sufferings of worldly existence, and finally returns to its original state through the dissolution of the mind.

This return to the original source is true liberation. It marks the end of suffering and the realization of one's eternal nature as pure Universal Energy.

---------------------------

Beyond “Why?”: The Purpose of Spiritual Inquiry

Human beings naturally ask, “Why?” Why was the universe created? Why was the mind created? Why does suffering exist? While many questions can be answered through reason and experience, some belong to the realm of Divine Mystery.

This is because the human mind itself is a product of creation and therefore cannot fully comprehend the purpose behind its own origin.

A sincere seeker eventually realizes that intellectual inquiry has its limits. We may understand how bondage arises, how suffering operates, and how liberation is attained, but why the Divine created creation in the first place remains a Divine Secret.

The purpose of spiritual life is not to solve every cosmic mystery but to understand and wisely utilize creation. The body, mind, intellect, and nature are instruments given for inner evolution.

A person using electricity need not know why electricity exists. What matters is knowing how to use it properly. Likewise, we need not know why the Divine created the universe. What matters is learning how to use this human birth to transcend suffering and realize one’s true nature.

The seeker who remains absorbed in asking, “Why did the Divine create this?” may remain in endless speculation. The seeker who asks, “How can I use this creation to realize my true nature?” moves toward realization.

True spiritual wisdom does not lie in uncovering every secret of creation but in making the highest use of what has already been given. When the mind finally dissolves, the need for answers also dissolves. What remains is not explanation, but absolute peace—Chivam.

--------------------------------

Who am I?

If Space is the ultimate Reality—indestructible, unchanging, ever-present, and independent of individual perception—then the fundamental inquiry of human life is to discover this very Space within oneself.

The journey of self-discovery begins with the question, "Who am I?" Ordinarily, a human being identifies with the body, mind, thoughts, emotions, memories, beliefs, and personal history. This constructed identity is referred to as the individual "I" or ego. However, this "I" is not natural or eternal; it is a psychological construct formed through experiences, conditioning, and identification. Being created, it is temporary and therefore artificial.

Beyond this artificial identity lies an inner Space, the same Reality that pervades the entire universe. The Space within is not different from the Space outside. They are not two separate entities but one indivisible Reality, appearing as inner and outer only because of the limitations of perception and thought.

The seeker, or the individual "I," undertakes the inward journey in search of this Reality. As the inquiry deepens, the seeker gradually recognizes that all thoughts, emotions, and personal identities are transient appearances arising within the Space of awareness. The closer one comes to Reality, the weaker the artificial "I" becomes.

The culmination of this journey is paradoxical: the traveller who began the search does not arrive as an individual. Instead, the traveller dissolves into the very Reality that was being sought. In the presence of the Real, the artificial "I" cannot remain, just as darkness cannot remain in the presence of light.

When the journey ends, what remains is only Space—pure, boundless, silent, and ever-present. This is the Real "I": not the personal self, but the universal Self that is all-pervading and timeless.

Thus, self-realization is not the attainment of something new; it is the dissolution of the false and the recognition of what has always been present. It is the transformation of human selfhood into Divine Selfhood, not by becoming something else, but by realizing one's eternal identity with Reality itself.

In this understanding, Space is Divinity, and to truly know oneself is to realize that one is not separate from that Divine Reality.

Message 2-July

Spiritual Practice Is to Become the Spirit

The true purpose of spiritual practice is not merely to become peaceful or religious. Its highest purpose is to become the Spirit itself.

The Spirit belongs to the spiritual dimension, not to the materialistic world. It does not seek possessions, relationships, achievements, or worldly identity. Its natural state is freedom. Therefore, it has no desire to remain bound to the material world for longer than necessary.

Human suffering at the time of death is not caused by death itself. It is caused by attachment. The mind, the "I", identifies itself with the body, family, wealth, status, memories, and countless desires. When death approaches, the mind resists leaving everything it has accumulated. This resistance creates fear, anxiety, and pain.

If the "I" is transformed into the Spirit during one's lifetime, death is no longer painful. The Spirit has no attachment to the material world. It simply leaves the body as one leaves an old garment, without fear or sorrow.

This is the purpose of Chivality.

Chivality prepares the seeker to go beyond the mind. Through Silentation and continuous remembrance of the Master, the mind gradually dissolves. When the "I" dies before the physical body dies, what remains is pure intellectual energy, called Chivam.

In Chivality:

- Energy associated with both the mind and the intellect is called a human being.

- Energy associated only with the intellect, free from the mind, is called Chivam.

The mind creates individuality, desires, expectations, emotions, and attachments. The intellect, when freed from the mind, remains pure, silent, and free from all bondage. This is the natural state of Chivam.

Human beings fear death because they believe they are leaving behind everything they own. They fear losing their identity and their relationships. Chivam has no such fear because it possesses nothing. Where there is no possession, there is nothing to lose. Where there is no attachment, there is no suffering.

Most people are concerned only with how they live. They strive for comfort, wealth, recognition, and success. But from the spiritual point of view, how one leaves the world is far more important than how one lives in it.

The state of consciousness at the moment of death determines what follows after death. If the mind remains with its desires and attachments, its journey continues according to those impressions. As long as the mind exists, life continues in one form or another.

Wherever there is life, there is mind. The body may perish, but the mind carries its tendencies forward. Therefore, merely leaving the physical body does not end the cycle of life.

Chivam is different. Chivam is not a living individual. It is pure intellectual energy without the mind. It is beyond the cycle of birth and death. Since there is no mind, there is no individual life to continue.

People often think they are maintaining life by preserving the body. In reality, the body is only a material instrument. Preserving the body is not the same as preserving life. Life continues because of the mind, not because of the body.

The real spiritual journey is therefore not to preserve life indefinitely, but to transcend it by dissolving the mind.

To attain the lifeless condition is not to become dead. It is to become free from the mind while still living. It is to become Chivam—pure intellectual energy, free from individuality, free from fear, free from attachment, and free from the endless cycle of birth and death.

This is the ultimate goal of Chivality.

Message 26 June

The Guru, the Mind, and Liberation

God is concerned with you, not with what belongs to you.

The things you call mine—wealth, family, position, possessions, reputation, achievements, and relationships—bring happiness and sorrow because the mind becomes attached to them. These are all part of the worldly experience. God does not seek these. God seeks you, the true being hidden behind the mind and its attachments.

When divine grace works, it is meant to awaken and transform you, not to preserve everything that you call yours. The purpose of spirituality is not to protect worldly ownership but to free the individual from mental bondage.

A realised Guru stands in the same role as God with respect to liberation. Such a Guru can guide, transform, and liberate you, but He cannot work through your attachments if you continue to place them above His guidance.

To receive the Guru's full grace, one must follow the Guru wholeheartedly. This means allowing the Guru's wisdom to become more important than one's own opinions, preferences, and attachments. As long as "mine" remains the highest priority, the Guru's work is limited.

There is an important distinction between a practitioner and a disciple.

A practitioner approaches the Guru mainly to receive peace, energy, blessings, or spiritual experiences. The practitioner benefits from the Guru's presence and energy but continues to retain complete ownership of the mind. Such a person receives help according to his openness but still governs himself.

A disciple is different. A disciple voluntarily places the mind under the guidance of the realised Guru. The Guru becomes the spiritual guide and master of the disciple's inner life. The disciple does not merely seek experiences; he seeks transformation. He is willing to surrender personal likes, dislikes, opinions, and attachments whenever they obstruct the path to liberation.

In worldly life, everyone functions under someone's direction. A student learns under a teacher. An employee works under an employer. Family members live within mutual responsibilities. Every organised activity has leadership and discipline.

Yet, when it comes to the mind, most people acknowledge no higher authority. Each person assumes complete ownership of the mind, allowing desires, expectations, emotions, and personal opinions to govern life.

The essence of spiritual practice is to transfer the ownership of the mind from the ego to the realised Guru. This is not slavery but conscious surrender to one who has already attained freedom. The liberated Guru is no longer governed by desires, fears, expectations, or attachments. Therefore, He alone can guide another beyond those limitations.

Only one who is free can lead another to freedom.

The ultimate purpose of all genuine spiritual practice is liberation. It is not merely to gain peace, health, prosperity, mystical experiences, or supernatural powers. These may arise along the way, but they are not the destination.

The destination is liberation—the complete freedom of the Self from the bondage of the mind. When the mind is fully transformed under the guidance of a realised Guru, the individual discovers the state beyond attachment, beyond ego, and beyond the sense of "mine." In that state, only the true Self remains, established in permanent freedom.

Dear Practitioners,

Namachivayam.

The 28th of June is a joyous and sacred day for all practitioners of NC, as it marks the birthday of our beloved Master. It is an opportunity for every practitioner to gather in gratitude, remembrance, and happiness.

Becoming an NC practitioner is relatively easy. However, becoming a true disciple of the Master is the real spiritual journey. A practitioner receives the Master's guidance and energy, whereas a disciple offers the mind completely to the Master. The disciple's highest priority is not merely to receive spiritual experiences but to live according to the Master's direction.

Every one of you has entered the path of Chivality with a noble purpose—to gradually empty the mind and heart of all attachments, desires, expectations, and unnecessary burdens, leaving that sacred space only for the Master. This is the essence of discipleship.

We know that only one who is liberated can lead another to liberation. Since the Master is liberated from all mental bondages, He alone can guide a seeker towards the same state of freedom. Therefore, before aspiring for liberation itself, one should aspire to become a worthy disciple of the Master. When true discipleship is attained, liberation naturally follows in its own time.

The divine message is profound: the realised physical Master belongs to His disciples, while the Spiritual Master belongs to everyone. The spiritual presence of the Master is available not only to practitioners but to the entire world. Every sincere remembrance of the Master allows one to experience His divine presence and receive His subtle guidance.

The birthday celebration is not conducted for the Master, but by the practitioners and for the practitioners themselves. The Master does not seek celebrations, honour, or personal recognition. Therefore, one should not expect the physical presence of the Master during the celebration. His purpose is not to be celebrated outwardly, but to awaken the Master within the hearts of the seekers.

In truth, the real celebration of the Master should be continuous within the heart through constant remembrance. Every moment of sincere remembrance is a celebration of His presence. However, the opportunity for all practitioners to gather together comes only once a year—on the Master's birthday.

Let this sacred gathering become a celebration of unity, love, gratitude, devotion, and spiritual inspiration. Meet one another with joyful hearts. Strengthen your resolve to walk the path of Chivality with greater sincerity. Receive the Master's divine energy with openness, and allow the atmosphere of the gathering to deepen your remembrance.

The Master wishes every practitioner to participate in this birthday gathering and celebrate wholeheartedly—with happiness, devotion, love, and inner joy.

May this birthday become a turning point in our spiritual lives, inspiring each one of us to move from being merely practitioners to becoming true disciples of the Master.

Namachivayam.

Message 24 June

Spiritual Growth and Liberation

For liberation, spiritual growth is of far greater importance than the accumulation of knowledge, beliefs, possessions, or worldly achievements. True spiritual growth is not the process of adding something new to oneself; rather, it is the process of abandoning and vacating the countless burdens that occupy the mind.

The human mind is filled with desires, expectations, fears, memories, attachments, likes, dislikes, emotions, and countless impressions. These form a dense covering around the inner spirit. As long as the mind remains crowded with these accumulations, the soul remains confined and unable to express its true nature.

Spiritual growth therefore means gradually emptying the mind of everything that is unnecessary. The more one vacates the contents of the mind, the more the soul begins to shine from within. In this sense, spiritual growth is not an expansion of the mind but a reduction of its domination.

The soul can be compared to a child in the womb. Just as a child awaits freedom from the limitations of the womb, the soul awaits freedom from the limitations imposed by the mind. The mind becomes a container that holds the soul captive through its endless activity and identification.

The greatest obstacle is the sense of "I"—the ego or the individual identity. This "I" constantly asserts itself through thoughts such as "I want," "I know," "I feel," "I possess," and "I am this or that." As long as this "I" remains strong, the soul cannot experience complete freedom.

Therefore, the seeker must gradually vacate the "I" from within. Every desire abandoned, every attachment dissolved, and every expectation dropped weakens the hold of the ego. As the "I" diminishes, more space is created for the soul to exist in its natural state.

The soul does not seek ownership, recognition, achievement, or identity. It prefers to exist in purity, silence, and freedom. It does not require the presence of "you" or "I" to be complete. The soul is content in its own existence.

When the soul alone remains and the "I" disappears, a profound transformation takes place. The soul gains freedom from the bondage of the mind, and the individual self gains freedom by dissolving into its source. This is not the destruction of existence but the dissolution of limitation.

The ego can disappear because it is a temporary formation created by the mind. The soul, however, cannot be destroyed because it is eternal. It existed before the appearance of the ego and remains after the ego is gone.

Thus, liberation is not the attainment of something new. It is the dissolution of the false and the revelation of what has always been present. When the human mind and its sense of "I" are completely dissolved, what remains is the pure soul—eternal, silent, limitless, and free.

In Chivality, this ultimate state is called Chivam—the condition in which nothing remains except pure existence, free from desires, expectations, thoughts, and individuality. Chivam is not something to be attained from outside; it is what remains when everything that is not real has been removed. It is the natural, eternal state of the soul and the ultimate destination of spiritual evolution.

Mouna Chandrike June 2026

 The Journey of Atman

Atman is one, yet it expresses itself in two distinct conditions: Chala Atman, the mobile condition,

and Achala Atman, the immobile or still condition.

These are not two different Atmans, but two states of the same Atman.

CHALA Atman – The Human Mind

In the Chala condition, Atman exists in movement. This movement appears as thoughts, desires, attachments, emotions, fear, anxiety, expectations, likes and dislikes, and continuous mental noise.

This mobile condition of Atman is what we call the human mind.

Because it is constantly in motion, it creates conflict, produces suffering, generates negativity, and experiences pleasure and pain alternately. It also remains bound by time, memory, and imagination.

Suffering is not accidental in this condition. Movement itself is the cause of suffering. As long as Atman remains in the Chala condition, disturbance will continue to exist.

ACHALA Atman – The Divine Condition

When movement gradually reduces and finally comes to an end, Atman enters the Achala condition. This immobile state is characterised by stillness, silence, thoughtlessness, desirelessness, and an existence free from attachment. This is what is called the Divine.

In this condition, there is no unnecessary thinking, no reaction, no accumulation of emotions, no suffering, and no dependence on anything external.

Divinity is not a matter of belief or moral purity. It is a functional condition of stillness. Because there is no movement, there is no friction, and therefore no suffering.

Human Birth and the Purpose of Life

Everyone is born as a human, which means being born in the Chala condition: with a restless mind, negativity, and vulnerability to suffering. But birth itself is not the goal.

The true purpose of human life is to transform from Chala Atman to Achala Atman before death. If one dies merely as a human mind, the journey remains incomplete.

To become Divine before death means ending unnecessary thinking, dissolving negativity, dropping psychological identity, and living in inner stillness while the body is still alive.

Beyond the Divine – Higher Stages of Stillness

Becoming Divine, the Achala condition of Atman, is not the end of the journey. Beyond this lie higher conditions such as Parabrahman, the Super Divine, and Chivam, the Supreme Divine.

These are not conceptual upgrades, but deeper intensities of stillness. As one ascends through these conditions, the human mind dissolves further, subtle traces of individuality disappear, and even the sense of "being Divine" comes to an end. Stillness becomes absolute and natural.

The higher the stage, the farther one moves from human qualities and mental movement, and the closer one comes to pure existence without identity.

Why Advanced Stillness Cannot Be Explained

Advanced stillness has no reference point in human experience. It contains no thoughts through which it can be described, no emotions through which it can be narrated, and no movement that can be observed.

Language belongs to the Chala condition, whereas advanced stillness belongs to the Achala condition beyond the mind. Therefore, it cannot be explained; it can only be lived. Any explanation will remain incomplete.

One Absolute Truth

Regardless of the stage—Divine, Super Divine, or Supreme Divine—one truth remains constant:

Stillness does not suffer.

Suffering exists only in movement. Negativity exists only in thought. Pain exists only where the mind exists, and as stillness deepens, suffering naturally disappears.

Conclusion

Spiritual life is not about belief, worship, or morality. It is about reducing movement within Atman. From Chala to Achala, from human to Divine, from disturbance to stillness, and from suffering to freedom. This is the journey of Atman.

What is Self Realisation?

Self Realisation is not the improvement of the mind. It is not gaining more spiritual knowledge. Rather, it is the gradual dissolution of the false centre we call “I.” This dissolution unfolds through successive refinements in perception.

1. Ordinary Human Perception – The Conditioned Self

When an incident happens, the mind immediately begins to construct interpretations around it. It creates causes and counter-causes, emotional reactions, judgments, and a sense of ownership through ideas such as “mine” and “not mine.” Fear, suspicion, comparison, and even superstition begin to arise.

The event itself may be simple, but the psychological additions become complex. What remains is no longer pure perception, but interpretation shaped by conditioning.

At this stage, the “self” is strongly present. It stands at the centre and relates everything back to itself. The world becomes deeply personal, and suffering begins here because attachment and aversion are born here. This is the ego-based self.

2. Higher Perception – Detached Awareness

In the next refinement of perception, the event is seen without emotional attachment. The incident is there, and the object is there, but psychological ownership is absent.

There is no sense of “mine” and “not mine,” no emotional colouring, and no reactive commentary. Truth at this level simply means seeing the fact as it is.

The perceiver still exists, but without distortion. The mind continues to function, yet it does not interfere. This is clarity without involvement. Here begins freedom from suffering.

3. Still Higher Perception – Absence of the Receiving Mind

Further refinement brings a deeper shift in perception. The five senses may continue reporting: the eyes see, the ears hear, and the skin feels. Yet the psychological receiver, the interpreting mind, is absent.

Perception continues to happen, but there is no accumulation. Experience occurs, but there is no experiencer storing it. It is like a mirror that reflects everything while retaining nothing.

At this stage, the "self" is thinning and identity is dissolving. The world still appears, but it no longer registers as psychological reality.

4. The Final Dissolution – No Perceiver

In the ultimate stage of perception, even this subtle perceiver disappears.

There is no observer, no observed, and no happening. This is not because the world is physically destroyed, but because the structure that creates "world-experience" has dissolved.

The "self", as an individual centre, is lost, yet this is neither unconsciousness nor sleep; it is a state beyond duality.

5. When the Self Is Lost – What Remains?

When the individual self dissolves, what remains cannot be described in positive terms. You call it Chivam.

It is unknowable, because knowledge requires a knower. It is unseeable, because seeing requires a seer. It is incomprehensible, because understanding requires a mind.

It cannot be experienced as an object, nor can it be concluded as a concept; it is neither “something” nor “nothing,” but beyond both.

6. Beyond Truth

“Truth can exist only where there is something. When the "self" itself is absent, where can truth remain?”

Truth exists within duality as a correspondence between perception and reality. But when there is no perceiver, no perception, and no object, both truth and untruth lose their meaning.

Truth belongs to the realm of existence. Chivam lies beyond both existence and non-existence. Therefore, it cannot even be called “ultimate truth.” It is beyond truth.

7. What Self-Realisation Truly Means

Self-realisation is the complete journey from distorted perception to detached perception, to non-accumulative awareness, and finally to the disappearance of the perceiver.

When the self is gone, liberation is complete. There is no one left to claim liberation.

That condition, beyond mind, beyond truth, and beyond experience, is what you call Chivam. It is not realised through effort. It is revealed when the “self” comes to an end.

Beyond Duality: The State of Chivam

In Chivality, liberation is not something to be attained from outside; it is an inner transformation. A human being suffers primarily due to his own negative side, the accumulation of negative qualities such as desires, fears, expectations, attachments, and various forms of mental disturbances. This collection of negativity forms the root of all suffering.

Liberation, therefore, begins with freedom from this negative side. As the negativity is gradually dissolved, what remains is the positive side of the individual. This positive side is not something newly created; it already exists within every human being.

Human being, but remains overshadowed by negativity. When the negative layer is removed, the positive naturally begins to express itself and grow stronger.

However, in Chivality, the journey does not end even with positivity. The positive side is only a transitional phase. If it continues its journey to its ultimate completion, it undergoes a profound transformation and dissolves into Nothingness, or Zero. This state of Zero is not emptiness in a negative sense, but a state of absolute purity and total stillness.

This Nothingness is what is referred to as Chivam, the ultimate state of being. It is a condition beyond both negativity and positivity. In this state, the individual no longer exists as a separate entity; instead, there is only the presence of a single, universal, omnipotent energy.

This universal energy is not different from the individual; it is the individual’s own original nature. When a person realizes this, he realizes himself in the truest sense. This realization is the recognition of one's own original energy, which is ever-present but concealed by the layers of negativity and mental activity.

Thus, liberation in Chivality is twofold:

• Liberation from the negativity that causes suffering.

• Realization of one’s true nature as the universal energy.

The role of the Master is central in this process. Through the Master’s energy, the destruction of the negative side becomes possible. The practitioner does not struggle alone; the Master’s presence and energy actively work within, dissolving negativity at its root. What is retained is the purified positive essence, which ultimately merges into Nothingness.

In the end, even positivity is transcended. What remains is Chivam, pure, infinite, and beyond all dualities.
