बुद्धत्व

बुद्धत्व मानव जाती की पराकाष्ठा है. इसके आगे कुछ भी नही है. बुद्धत्व अन्तिम घटना है. इसके आगे कभी कोई नही गया. बुद्ध भी नही गए. बुद्धत्व पूर्णतः पारमार्थिक है. संसार अपारमार्थिक है. संसार मे जीवन कटता है किसी तरह कट जाता hai. एक दिन मौत आती है, और सब कुछ खत्म हो जाता है. सब छीन जाता है. सारा बुने हुए सपने टूट जाते हैं. यही तो संसार है. मैंने आजतक जितने भी लोगों से मिला उनका जीवन किसी तरह से चल रहा है. ज़िंदगी को घसीट रहे हैं. उनको कुछ मिल जाता है करने को. कुछ भी करेंगे पर करेंगे. करना इतना आवश्यक हो गया की मनुष्य अपने अस्तित्व को ही भूल गया. भौतिकवाद बुद्धत्व से ऊपर हो गया. मैं भौतिकवाद का विरोधी नही हूँ. मैं भौतिकवाद को बुद्धत्व का ही एक हिस्सा मानता हूँ। बुद्धत्व का मतलब पूर्णता से है. बुद्धत्व मे सबकुछ समाया हुआ है. इसके बाहर कुछ भी नही है. अस्तित्व पहली घटना है. अस्तित्व अकेला है. अस्तित्व केन्द्र है. संसार उसकी परिधि है. मनुष्यता हमेशा परिधि पर ही रही है. मैंने आजतक किसी भी ऐसे व्यक्ति से नही मिला जो केन्द्र पर हों. अस्तित्व से चैतन्य का आविर्भाव होता है. वही चैतन्य घटघट मे विद्यमान है अस्तित्व और चैतन्य से संकर्षण से उर्जा का निर्माण होता है. उसे उर्जा से हमरी ज़िंदगी चलती है. अव्यक्त व्यक्त हुआ है. अव्यक्त से व्यक्त की घटना संकर्षण की घटना है. अव्यक्त व्यक्त को स्थायित्व प्रदान करता है. अव्यक्त के बिना व्यक्त का होना असंभव है. व्यक्त संसार है. अव्यक्त ब्रह्मं है. चैतन्य व्यक्त और अव्यक्त के बीच के कड़ी है. चैतन्य व्यक्त और अव्यक्त को जोरती है. चैतन्य का दूसरा नाम प्राण भी है. इसलिए तो कहा गया - "इदम प्रान्मयम जगतम". इस श्लोक मे प्राण की गत्यावस्था के बारे मे कहा गया है. प्राण की गत्यावस्था संसार है. दूसरे श्लोक मे प्राण की निस्चालावास्था के बारे मे कहा गया है. "निस्चालम ब्रह्मं उच्यते". प्राण की निश्चअल अवस्था ब्रह्मं है. ये दो श्लोक काफ़ी हैं. पहले श्लोक मे संसार के बरे मे कहाँ गया है. दूसरे श्लोक मे ब्रह्मं के बरे मे कहाँ गया है. दो चीज ही तो है. पहला संसार और दूसरा ब्रह्मं. वस्तुतः है एक ही - ब्रह्मं. लेकिन तात्कालिक रूप से समझने के लिए दो भागो मे बाँट दिया गया है. संसार और ब्रह्मं. अगर कोई इस दो श्लोक को आत्मसात कर ले तो उसके लिए और कुछ करने को नही बचता. मैं किताब पढने की बात मे जादा यकीन नही करता हूँ. किताब पढने से किसी विषय वस्तु के सम्बन्ध मे मात्र जानकारी प्राप्त होती है. उससे आत्मसात नही होता. मान लो की तुमने किसी किताब मे किसी उपकरण के बारे मे पढ़ा. तुम थोड़े जानकर हो गए. तुम्हारी जानकारी बढ़ी. इस से जादा तो सामान्यतः कुछ होता नही है. लेकिन हो सकता है अगर तुम ठीक से पढो. अगर तुम ठीक से आत्मसात करो. अगर तुम उस उपकरण के अस्तित्व का पता लगाओ. लेकिन हम सामान्यतः ऐसा करते नही. हम ऊपर ऊपर पढ़ लेते हैं. थोरा आईडिया ले लेते हैं. कम पढो लेकिन ठीक से पढो. लेकिन हम थिक उल्टा करते हैं. हम पढ़ते तो बहोत हैं, पुरी ग्रंथालय पढ़ जाते हैं पर आत्मसात नही हो पाटा. वस्तुतः हम अपने अस्तित्व को पूर्णतः भूल चुके हैं. हम भूल ही गए की हम एक मात्र साक्षी हैं. अपने अस्तित्व का साक्षी होओं और बुद्धत्व को प्राप्त करो
मैं कोई साधू या कोई महात्मा नही हूँ। क्या हूँ पता नही. जानना भी नही चाहता. बस मैं हूँ इतना काफी है. एक दिन मेरा मैं विसर्जित हो जाएगा और सिर्फ़ हूँ बचेगा. ब्रह्मं का इस से जादा आविर्भाव हुआ भी नही था. इसलिए तो जादातार पर्वत, मिटटी और धूल hain is samsar मे. कंकर पत्थर ही जादा पैदा हुए. हीरे तो काफी कम हैं. इसलिए मुझे कभी कभी लगता है की अव्यक्त से व्यक्त की घटना मे थोरी कमी रह गई होगी नही तो हीरों के पहार हो सकते थे. अरबों खरबों बुद्ध जैसे आदमी पैदा हो सकते थे. सर्वत्र ब्रह्मं का सुन्दरतम रूप दिखाई पर सकता था. देखने वाले देख लेते हैं। बद्ध देख लेंगे. तुम न देख पाओगे. तुम्हे अच्छा बुरा दिखाई देगा. दोष तुम्हारा नही है. दोष मान्यता है. मान्यता छोर दो सब साफ दिखाई देगा

Children Part 1

All children are enlightened. Their level of enlightenment is far more than that of any great saint. But there is a difference. A child is like a brand new slate on which nothing was written ever. A great saint is also a clean slate but it was rubbed. Something was written on it, it had become dirty so, it has been rubbed out and now it is clean. Both are like clean slate. But one is rubbed. One is brand new. Saints are rubbed. A Child is a brand new. That's why great saint just endeavors to become like a child. But a child doesn't mimic great saints. He doesn't need to.

The two most important attribute of a child is innocency and curiosity. Both are inter dependent. I remember I used to ask many question (stupid for them) when I was a small kid. Other's used to take it as stupid question. That' fine. There are reason behind that. I will come to this later. I used to ask questions like How does aeroplane fly in the air? Aeroplane runs faster or helicopter? If Ram and Hanuman fight, who will win? If Luv and Kush fight who will win? Of course to a learned person these are stupid question. But if you look from child's point of view that was just a curiosity. An innocent curiosity. But I used to be scolded for asking non-sense question many a times. The reason is, they don't know the answer. Because they were also scolded when they were kids. So, their curiosity was suppressed. Kid start's thinking that I am asking stupid questions, others are laughing at me. So I should not ask such questions. And he gradually stops being curious. And once curiosity is suppressed he becomes dependent on books. Then he knows only what he reads in the books, TV, radio etc.

Child is pure manifestation. The more he grow the more he get contaminated. His brain is filled with books, events and many things. If you just traverse back in time you will reach to destination. I remember when people used to lift me up on their waist and walk. Do you remember anything when you were 1 month old? when 10 days old? when 2 day old? when 1 day old? when 0 day old? when -1 day old? when -10 day old? when -4 year old? when -500 year old? when -1000000000000 years old?...Do you remember what were U doing inside womb? You cant remember all these. But it all happened. It's somewhere stored in the deep sublevel of your consciousness. No information is lost. The information signals remains vibrating at extremely low amplitudes. Buddha was able to recollect his previous 10,000 births. We are not able to recollect even this current birth. See the difference. Again I wont encourage people to do any un-solicited practice in order to recollect negative time unless otherwise absolutely required.

BUDDHA - A Story of Enlightenment

Lately I read "BUDDHA - A Story of Enlightenment" by Deepak Chopra. BUDDHA was the most free person among anyone who ever walked on the earth. This man crossed all the limits. He did what everyone should do. He was a prince. Prince in general has the best life. If god give me an option to be either king or prince, I will choose for prince. Buddha's childhood name was Siddhartha. From his childhood he showed is meditative sign. He was so sensitive that he used to get disturbed by killing even ants.

He did felt the pain. Although he had everything. He was a prince. What would a prince need to worry for? The revolution happened when he saw a corpse. Till 29 years, he doesn't know that people die also. Once he knew that people dies, eventually, and he is gonna die too, he left his wife, son, father, kingdom, his servant Channa, everyone. His father Suddhodana kept him in 3 palace surrounded by walls. He gave him lots of court girls, but Siddhartha did not show any interest to them. Although Siddartha got attracted towards Sujata. ;). That's so natural.

After he renounced the world, he became a monk. He did intense practice for 6 years deep inside forest. Meanwhile, he came across some couple of teachers. But he was not satisfied with anyone of them. Finally, he choose d himself to be his teacher. Later he used to take extremely low food intake. His body became like a skeleton. Thinn. And nothing was happening. Then few wandering singing girls were passing by him. He eared their song. Then he got the idea of middle-way. And he determined that he would be meditating under this banyan tree until he get full illumination.

Mara attacked him from many side. But, Gautama was calm and collected. Finally, he burnt his total desire. The desire of getting enlightenment also vanished. There was nothing into his mind. There was no thought for him. But, mind always needs something to work on. And when there is nothing to work on, mind works on god. This is what happened with buddha. In that mindless state he remained for many days. He remained submerged into infinite consciousness. When he opened the eye, he was buddha. After that he started walking into the forest. He saw that entire forest is passing into him. And he is passing into trees. He was easily able to vanish anything. He was able to see any distant place. He was able to do anything just by his wish. He had full control over nature. In just a blink of his eye he remembered his previous 10,000 life times.

Buddha went to 5 monks and made them his disciple. Then he spread ed his message. He said, this life is indeed painful. And there are reason behind this. But one can always find the reason and be happy.
