Hi, folks! Welcome to another meeting, another Satsang, another opportunity for us to be together in this approach to the Truth of who we are.
This is what we want to talk about. People ask about spirituality… so we will talk about spirituality here with you. After all, what is spirituality? What really is spirituality?
There comes a time in your life when you realize something is incomplete, there's something that doesn't fit, something that doesn't match, something missing, a certain existential emptiness. Then, at that moment, people start chasing things everywhere and this so-called "spirituality" is quite inviting. I want to clarify our viewpoint regarding this thing called spirituality.
Spirituality is simply the search for something that transcends, something that is beyond this condition, this existential emptiness, this neediness, this lack… something to complete or put an end to this search. Then, in this sense, we'll put the word "Spirituality" here in the sense of this encounter with the Truth about who You are, and not about mystical, esoteric, spiritual practices, with symbols, rituals, ceremonies... In general, that's what people take by spirituality, and I want to tell you that Spirituality is not that.
The Real Spirituality isn't something linked to religion, and religious practices, but rather to the experience of this truly religious intimacy. I don't know if you can see the difference. It's one thing for you to apply yourself to external practices recommended by religion, and thus you become a person known as a "spiritual" or "spiritualized person;" it's another thing for you to discover the Truth about who You are – This is Real Spirituality.
But here… In this Realization, the sense of "person," including a "spiritual" or "spiritualized person," is gone. Then, the True Spirituality is You in your Being, in your Natural State of Being. This is truly profoundly religious – the sense of this Oneness with the Divine, with the Truth, with God, with Reality, with What is nameless. You can give any name to this contact with the Reality of your Being, which is basically Love, Peace, Freedom, Happiness.
Thus, Spirituality is the contact with the Truth about yourself, and This is possible when there's Self-knowledge. Only when there is Self-knowledge you have real contact with your Being, with the Real Truth about this contact with the Unknown, the Nameless, with Spirituality.
So, it's in this sense that I use the word "Spirituality." It's in this sense that I could use the term "Spirituality." Then, it's something essential since Life is only understood within this context of Spirituality. But notice how complicate the use of words is because when we say "understand Life" or "Life is understood," we're not saying that you, as a "person," will understand Life. It's not in this sense. It's in the sense that apprehending the Mystery of Life is to be One with It.
Thus, it's here that the Truth is really revealed, in the Spiritual Being. Here we are using another word that has a jargon with several meanings. Here, the word "Spiritual" is the word in the sense of being Consciousness, which basically is being Natural, it's not being special, being different, being spiritualist, it's not being mystical. Your contact with the Truth is your contact with the Freedom of the absence of suffering, of psychological contradiction, of psychological disorders, which represents remaining Free, in full Sanity.
I do speak of mental health, of mental balance, this psychological order. I am not saying the brain can't have some problem, some situation, once it's part of the body. Even in a Realized Being, the body is still the body, it may have some deficit, it may have some problem, some disorder. I speak here of this psychological health, of the end of this ego identity, this internal contradiction that generates conflicts, problems, suffering.
So, it's in this sense that you need to understand that this contact with the Truth, with your Being, is the contact with the Real Happiness. Then, there's a very intimate relationship between the Real Spirituality, or True Spirituality, and the harmony, order, the beauty of a Life in Fullness, in Completeness, of a Life in Totality.
So, I'd say that True Spirituality is to assume the Truth of your Being, to assume the Truth of What You are. The experience of this State that I have called the Natural State is the experience of Wisdom, the experience of Love, the experience of Truth.
In this sense, Ramana Maharshi was full Spirituality, however he was the simplest man you could find. There was nothing mysterious except the Mystery itself before his Presence. This is quite typical in a Realized Being. He is the expression of the Truth of Mystery! He is the expression of the Truth of the Divine. He is the expression of the Truth of God! This the True Spirituality!
But This is not different from What You are internally, within your Being, from What everyone is within Oneself, since this same Presence, this same Divine Potential, we all carry within us. Then, here we come closer to one more thing regarding True Spirituality. The True Spirituality is What I've been calling, in these meetings, as something possible when the Awakening of this Divine Energy, of this Divine Power, of this Divine Potential takes place, which awakened in Ramana, that Awakened in Krishnamurti, that Awakened in Realized Beings, such as Krishna or Buddha.
I speak of this inner Power, inherent – we all have within ourselves – which the science of Yoga calls Kundalini. Kundalini Awakening is the Blossoming of the True Spirituality. Thus, that's our subject with you. I want to repeat this: Spirituality is the Blossoming of Kundalini Awakening, which is the Awakening of your Divine Nature, of your Real Nature, which is the Nature of God.
So, Therein lies the Peace that surpasses all understanding; the Love that was never written in prose, in verses, or sung; the Happiness that was never described, that was never put into words, that no one ever composed verses about It, or songs about It.
See, the words are quite similar to the ones we use within our so-called "human relationships," which, by the way, are quite conflicting since they're relationships based on images between people who are basically illusions. Each one living his/her illusion, having an image of oneself, projecting an image onto the other, and so we produce these so-called "human" relationships. In these relationships we use terms like "love," "happiness," "peace," but they're quite far from what we're describing here – this so-called Love, Peace, Happiness. We're talking about You in your Being, in your Divine State.
When the Awakening of this Sacred Power, which is Kundalini, emerged… when This flourishes completely and takes over the body and mind, all psychological disorders disappear because there's a change in the body itself, in the very brain cells, a change, there's an order even for those neurotransmitters in the brain, responsible for mood, for internal states of the nervous system center, which are so important.
Thus, it's the end… when there's Real Spirituality, True Spirituality, it's the end for anxiety, depression, fear, for the sense of isolationism and separation.
We're talking about the Natural State of Being that you were born to be, about the State of Ramana Maharshi, the State of Buddha, Krishnamurti, Eckhart Tolle, the State of Realized Beings who are living in their Real Nature.
I'm sharing with you some of this experience here. I'm not dealing with a theory or concept. I'm saying that This is possible for you here and now – the Real Life in Consciousness, in Presence, in sublime, unique and singular Divine Intelligence, which is the Real life, the Life of God.
That's the subject here with you and that's what we're working on, sharing together, and stepping into together, for that purpose, which is Spiritual Awakening, or Spiritual Enlightenment, whatever you want to call it. Ok? We can stop here… thanks for the meeting.
