        Awakening

       Awakening happens to most of us only when we get a shock in life. With a very intense problem in life, we go inward analyzing and inquiring why we end up in suffering. Many would say during such sufferings that they had not harmed any one in life and why do they suffer such great pains in life. Vedanta says that the reason is because they had forgotten about their journey to their Source. A quiet disciplined student cannot complain if he gets beating for his poor marks in his examination. What matters for a student is to study well and get out of the school. similarly we are here not to get detained and re-appear in the same class room for ever. We have graduate from this world. if not we have to learn through a tough shock in life.

      Vedanta gives a easy way to go through this evolution. This is why Vedanta has appealed only a few because it requires initial discipline and practice but later is highly rewarding. Only few students study well from the beginning of the school. Most of the students play and do all activities that is not befit of a student, but in the end of the school only if they get  shock , do they awaken to their studies. the same way some one who lives life with a discipline in mind goes through this spiritual school without shocks and knocks in life.

   Peace pilgrim, a great saint who walked  more than 40, 000 miles by foot for world peace, seven times across USA without a single penny in her hand, with no food and shelter, says she used to pray to see less problems inhuman life. Later when she became enlightened she prayed that humans should get more problems and suffering so that they will move closer to the Self.

 Positive thoughts the best road map in our journey of life

      One has no choice in avoiding this evolution. We are all fated to evolve. We cannot change the fate,  but we have free will to choose how we want to evolve. all that depends on the thoughts we entertain. the positive thoughts help us move forward cushioning the pain and suffering, which otherwise would be bolstered by negative thoughts. Positive thoughts will not mushroom in our mind any time we need. It has to be grown and nurtured in the garden of our mind, carefully monitoring the overriding weeds of negative thoughts. This is a process that we are giving through the life style of Pancha Bhoota.

      We are totally responsible for our thoughts and action. As discussed earlier our Ego wants to blame God or evil spirits for our suffering. No one other than our thoughts are responsible for our pain and suffering. If we shoulder good thoughts naturally we end up in good fruits in our garden of life.

                 Karma      

No one controlling us, but the laws of our own nature.

     Here we have to be clear that no one is sitting some wherein heaven and giving us punishments and rewards. We have the free will to think our thoughts and get the results of our own action.  Two people might be doing the same actions but might have two different results and it might look confusing. But using intellect we will understand that  actions  are influenced by so many factors.

    Example, two individuals might go for a party and had the same food and drinks. The same day or the next day one of the two might develop indigestion problem or get a cold. When two did the same action of going to a party and had the same environment, and  developed two results, because of the difference in the emotional and physical status of the individuals.

    So the results of the actions are inseparable from the very action , which is depended on the previous factors of the body and mind which we call as karma. So the results of our action are based on the very actions and the factors of the past. Like the above example the individual who got cold after going tot he party had stress and so his immunity was down. With these "past" factors when he went to the party though his friend and himself was exposed to cold virus , only he due to the stress factors got the cold.

      We understand from the previous page that every action is governed by a set of rules of nature that are inherent in the very action itself. However there are unseen factors that also influence the course of the end results of the actions. So every action  influenced the result of other actions and sets in   the Similarly Some receive very hard blow and some small,  depending upon their tamasic nature.  Punishments are not for sadistic reasons but to drive the student to seek knowledge and so are we getting sufferings and pain so that we seek the light of intellect and awareness, which leads us to realize our true Self.

Government puts a person in jail who does not pay tax. Isnt this an irony? The government has to spend money on this fellow for keep him in jail give him food pay the police etc, Why?. The person is made to undergo mental agony in the jail and has to repent and contemplate for the mistakes. This way the government feels that the person will evolve and be good in soceity. These rules were also formed in india. Swathi Thirunal was one of the kings  who relaxed such rules in Kerala. Here lies the answer for suffering in Karma also. When we dont pay the cosmic tax, then the comsic officers, Navagrahs make us undergo the mental agony and so we contemplate life and move on in our inner evolution.
This is why we are given life after life and the cosmic government spends PanchaBhootas Energy for us to repair ourselves. This is the Karmic secret. What we do when we are in this Jail?, Are we contemplating why we are suffering in life?. we destroy the jail (this planet) that is the planet resources, creating more  burden of karmic debts. No one wants to get of this jail?

       Internal war 

       Major difference between "Sanatana Dharma" or Vedic  tradition is that other spiritual traditions ask man to give up desires, because desires is the root cause of all pain and sufferings. A practical question is how to give up desires when even giving up desire itself a desire. It is impractical to live life without desires. Vedic tradition says there is no problem in desires but the root cause of pain and suffering is because we lose the awareness of our true "Self". (please do not skip reading  the previous page for details).

         There is always the factor of Ego in us that prevent us from being in the state of Awareness or true Self. This internal war between the Ego and the transcendence to our true self is the theme of Vedic-Puranas. The war between the Devas (Gods) and Asuras (demons) is our own  internal war. Every time when the Gods or Devas forget their won nature (True Self), they lose their power and are driven out of heaven by the Asuras (pain and suffering). They would finally seek refuge in intellect or pure Consciousness (Vishnu) and Awareness (shiva) (details in Puranas section).

Loss of Awareness of the Self leads to suffering

      Whatever actions we may be involved if we are not aware of our Self and do not take steps in progressing in our evolutionary journey, then in the form of pain and suffering we will be mercilessly be pushed forward. As we said  earlier like driving the car we can talk and listen to music but cannot afford to lose the awareness of driving and also keep track of the directions. If we do not keep of directions again it is a pain to get back to the right road.

     We started from Pancha Bhoota healing giving you this direction to evolve forward without undergoing pain and suffering in the life's journey. All the health approaches would seem to take care of the body, but in the deeper level, the five steps help you to strengthen your intellect and then be aware of your true self.

     The final stages in the journey is to completely purify the mind from the grips of the Ego thought "I". This is achieved by understanding the Upanishads which is simplified as Bhagavad Gita. Gita helps one to transcend the Ego and attain Self-realization.

     Sakthi Gita is the practical approach of living the essence of Bhagavad Gita and complete the Journey to the Source. This is the easiest way to get relief from pain and sufferings of life.

     Evolution

      Whether we like it or not, we are all evolving. Evolving to what?. Evolving to our final form or destination. Our Journey To the Source, Consciousness.

     Human life is the story of the Journey to The Source, to know Consciousness. Spiritual seekers call it Enlightenment and seek it . Enlightenment is knowing one's True Self as pure Unconditioned Consciousness. A enquiry mind might ask, why to seek the Self or unconditioned Consciousness?. What is the purpose of such a seeking? Vedanta tells us that the very purpose of life on Earth is to know the Self, because that was the fundamental question that "caused" creation. There was a question that arose "Who Am I?". The "I" caused  the creation of conditioned consciousness and the Journey of search began to know "Who Am I?". The journey ends answering the question "Who Am I?".

Why the question?

       If sugar wants to know its sweetness, it has to take a form to experience it sweetness. Similarly Consciousness to know itself took form and this whole creation started.

     The answer to the question arrives not with a single step, it is a process and is an evolution. The stages take shape initially in the form of matter (minerals) and then to form plants which then evolve to animals and then to man and finally to Self realized individual and with that the answer is sought which culminates the journey.

     Survival of Intellect

      Charles Darwin in the west , gave the concept of Survival of fittest, the driving force for evolution. That was a mile stone in the progress of Biology in modern science. Evolutionary theory made perfect sense when we see the biology of life. Life evolved from single cell organism to multi-cellular and finally man. The evolution was not a random process. The organism self designs through the inherent intellect because we have discussed that all knowledge comes from the field of awareness.  Intelligence  in the first organism that arose was expressed at higher dimensions as it evolved. It is an intelligent design but here we mean that there was not someone who was designing it external to the organism.

      No one externally designs, the organism has the power to design itself and evolve challenging the hostile conditions in the  environment. Vedanta says the micro-organism is also the manifestation of the Supreme Consciousness, the Brahman. Therefore the cell has all the source of intelligence inherent in it. With that intelligence it can evolve further. That inherent evolution is still continuing in human.

      Vedas tell that man has progressed through 84 million  species. This is what birth and re-birth means. A bacteria through numerous  rebirths and death has attained the state of man. The man is the last state to get free from this cycle of re-birth and death, because of his and her highly developed intellect.
