Nirbija Samadhi:
- Thought And Thinking: Thoughts can be borrowed and passed along, like well-worn books from soul to soul, but thinking is the personal act of engaging with these ideas, a path walked alone.
- While thoughts can be taught and memorised, true thinking is an original creation, the mind’s unique dialogue with the world around and within.
- One may inherit thoughts, receive them from the great minds of the past, but the act of thinking is a rebellion, a declaration of one’s own spirit and intellect.
- Thought is the content we receive; thinking is the process we uniquely create.
- Six Distractions of Mind: The distractions of the mind, stemming from our senses and emotions, scatter our focus and drain our energy.
- Like six mighty winds, the distractions can push us off course, as we navigate the path toward inner peace and realisation.
- Attachment and aversion, desire and fear, these are the distractions that bind us to the material and impede our journey inward.
- Identifying these distractions is crucial, as awareness alone can dim their power and light the way through the dark forest of our illusions.
- Nirbija Samadhi: Nirbija Samadhi is the state of pure consciousness, untouched by the imprints of thoughts and the taints of past experiences.
- Nirbija Samadhi is where the knower, the known, and the process of knowing converge into a singular point of pure consciousness.
- Achieving Nirbija Samadhi is both the end and the beginning; an end to the cycle of birth and death, and the beginning of existing in boundless unity with all creation.
- Attaining this state requires a spiralling journey of persistent practice and detachment.
