General thoughts

Spiritual Books can be writte in 4 ways

1) Pure fantasy or fiction

2) Books which are a compilation of information (I hate to use the word knowledge because true knowledge of God is only when one has experiened him) from a variety of books.  Often times authors dont give credit to their source except for the purpose of reaffirming their dogma

3) Books written from spiritual experiences.  If the person is pure, the book written can be profound and not misleading.   If there is any impurity, then the book can misguide. 

4) Books written by people in deep meditation.  They see a divine statement or hear something divine.  Write it down and immediately go back to that level. The vedas, upanishads, Muktashastra, Yogamruta, Many Bhajans were written this way.

The people in category 3 and 4 are the higher ones.  They can guide and lead.  These people are the ones Gautama Buddha referred to.  Swami Vivekananada said that per Buddha, ” Throw away all your books.  You are the greatest book that ever existed”

So how do we know if someone is at that stage?

1) Purity is necessary

2) Things they write are original.  You will find sentences and analogies never found anywhere.

3) They may come out with unheard of mantras

Truth nothing new can ever be written.  Just a new aspect, a new way of presentation.

Sahaja Samadhi :  When all chakras remain turned upwards spontaneously, one can be said in Sahaja Samadhi.  When I use the word chakra turned upwards, I mean no longer is there the downward pull of desires, the mind, intellect, chitta or ego.  In order words, agnan or ignorance or maya no longer covers the blazing light of the self. 

It is impossible for anyone to remain totally immersed in the higher self.  Daily and hourly variations are normal.  DO not get dismayed. 

Once again, I have been able to stay deep in meditation. In fact, nowadays, staying in meditation, is a preference.  I look forward to it, look forward to a new experience, new understanding every time I sit down.  For me the first manifestation has been knowledge.  For others it is peace or joy.  I would have preferred peace, but Shakti, mother, Ma, knows what is best for me.  I gladly accept whatever she gives.

During sleep, I am usually in the overmind state described by Sri Aurobindo and in waking stage, illumined to intuitive stage.   Intuition is becoming more refined.

All these stages are slow but at lightening speed compared to the rest of the world.
