This is a Lecture transcript of the spiritual discourse given by a saint at India Habitat Centre, New Delhi
I request all of you to close your eyes and concentrate on the beautiful verses from the ancient scriptures in glorification of the Supreme and thereafter I will begin my talk.
Eternal seekers of divine bliss!
The subject for the talk today is very challenging and very controversial. To discuss a subject like this in just a period of one hour is a herculean task before me. Nevertheless, I ass
THE WORD, TANTRA, which is made of tan (body) and tra (application), refers to meditative rites for mystical transformation of the consciousness to transform the entire self — both body and mind. It is a sacred science.
Everyone has had tantric experiences; but it is not always simple to notice them. What a novice cannot understand, mystic can. Tantric experiences allude to astral reverberations and activation of supra-senses in whole or part of the body system. Tantra sadhana means destroying a
What has not come yet has not come yet. Don't unnecessarily waste your time and energy in imagination, because no imagination is ever fulfilled. It is because of this that the proverb exists in every language: "Man proposes, and God disposes" because you imagine a certain thing in the future, and it is never so.
Withdrawing yourself from past and future, you will be
The moment you become aware of your desires you can easily see that no desire can ever be fulfilled
A really mature person cannot be serious, there is nothing to be serious about. The whole of life is fun, it is a play, a play of consciousness. And that's what meditation reveals to you - that the whole of life is a beautiful play of energy.
The same energy is in the trees, in the stars, in the rivers, in the mountains, in you, in animals. It is the same energy dancing in different forms. We in the East have called it 'leela'. Leela means god's play.
EVERY MOMENT........

There is only one secret which is not part of the mind, and that is witnessing, watching. Thoughts are passing, desires are moving, memories are coming and going like clouds in the sky and you are sitting silently simply watching, not doing anything. If you do anything immediately the mind starts functioning. What you do does not matter - doing is part of mind. A non-doing witnessing, just witnessing, as if a mirror goes on witnessing whatsoever passes by - that is awareness. And that awareness
WILL IS SHI - VA, which made word. Would there have been a word without will, without the will to express and the will to invent means to communicate? I am no sage to elucidate will, but I dare so because will, the word, has mystical magnificence.
Will is at the core of all creation and destruction; it is what initiates, what sets off the dynamism of the omniscient on the causal, astral and physical planes. A mystic will say, “Thy will is thy truth.” I shall give a reference to quantum nuclear b

You don’t have to do anything. Enlightenment is not your doing. And it is not a gift. You already are enlightened, just you have not looked in the right direction.
The difference between the enlightened being and the unenlightened is not much; it is negligible. One has looked into himself, the other has not looked into himself. This is not much of a difference. At any moment the other can also look into himself
It is surprising to know that in India existed a group called Sramans much before the arrival of the white race and the creation of the VEDAs...
They preached that no one can create or destroy anything
They preached that both soul and the matter are permanent, without begining,uncreated and undestructable..
They also preached that it is the nature of soul being impure sinse ANADI or beginingless and it is each soul's duty to purify and realise it's true nature............
VICTORY TO SRAMANA DHARMA !
which ordinarily happens unconsciously,
for example - anger, jealousy, pride -
and your consciousness will be deepened.
Act consciously,........
even in day-to-day acts be conscious,
for example - walking, eating, talking -
and your consciousness will be expanded.
Be alert when thinking........
No thought should be allowed to pass unwitnessed.
And then, in the end, there is explosion
in which you become totally conscious
with no unconsciousness behind.......
I know that you are consciousness itself, not the conscious being. Consciousness is not a quality attached to you, you are consciousness. You are totally free.
So proceed from anywhere. Either be more free or be more conscious, and the other will result automatically. Be more free, and you will be more conscious. You cannot be more free unless you are more conscious.
Be more conscious and you will be more free. You cannot be otherwise, because consciousness creates freedom. And when you are a
Every cell in the body has the capacity to hold infinity. While a worm also eats and sleeps and wakes and performs its daily activities, there is no point in living like that. We must tap the full potential that nature has bestowed on us, the potential to hold infinity in every cell of the body. For that we must practise meditation regularly. It only takes few minutes every day. And once imbibed into the daily routine, meditation is no more a burden or a chore.
Meditation is like a seed. The bet

Strolling through the expanses of the Internet, I came across a magnificent Dutch expressionist Shefqet Avdush Emini. Later, I was fortunate to get to know him and work for international ART-symposia.
Expression in color, line, and at the same time, a sense of proportion and harmony - it works like live his own lif
