Start the Journey

Slow tortoise, fast hare, clever cat, aggressive hen and proud peacock are always real. The logic of selfish and impure person is always dull. The body of creator is light and his spirit is truth, God is compared with fire and light because it rushes upward,purifies everything, has broad bottom and small tip, latent everywhere ceaseless and impartial. Light restores balance, sight and confidence.
Bergson and Hegel etc narrated that everything spiritual is speculative but Indian Philosophy takes it to be purely practical. Traditionally Indian seekers penetrated the veil. The truth cannot be expressed in words. The finite, in fact cannot contain infinite but it follows by actual personal realization. It is to be understood clearly that desire arises out of the life system of identification of the self with mind and body. We have to gradually minimize attachment diluting the sense of identification. When this journey is started the dry path starts witnessing the cool point and flashes of bliss and consciousness. This is what Jesus said "Not my will but thine be done". This bliss is consciousness of unpolluted calmness, it is devoid of contrast and excitement and it is really different from pleasure. It gradually extinguishes the anxiety and allows everything to happen as it is. Thus in due course of time we do not require change and stop wishing for it. It will also slow down the mind and discover infinite joy or bliss stopping the search of contentment outside.
