Before there can be re-generation, one needs to face one’s internal-death!! “Hollowing oneself” to be the perfect Divine instrument can be a painful process

1/26/2021

This past year has brought on many changes- not just in the outer world as we have always known it- but also within each one of us!! The year 2021 is about regeneration- about being born again like the mystical bird Phoenix- that is believed to have risen from its own ashes.

There are many people who use this comparison to indicate their own spiritual transformation. But we need to know that there is a fundamental difference between change and transformation. 

Change means ‘something’ is different from what/how it previously used to be. Transformation on the other hand- means that there is nothing remaining of the old- whatever was there has now completely ‘transformed’ into this new state of being… this new state of working. 
​
So, by its very definition- transformation is a very foundational and impactful process. We need to get rid of all that is old and not relevant and then morph into the new state of existence. Though, on the surface it sounds very pleasant and comforting to know that we will truly, deeply, and completely be this ‘new’ person- the actual process can be very painful.

For starters, we need to give up, remove or erode all that is old. As we all know- change is always difficult for each one of us. However, our reality may be fraught with challenges and worries, we tend to form a state of comfort- with the ‘known’- we tend to find solace in that which is ‘familiar’… so having to disrupt it and remove it can not only be very frightening, but the very process of disengaging, ripping off ‘what currently is’ can indeed be very painful, if not traumatic. 

Having had to go thru several personal transformations over the years, I can surely vouch to say that though the final state of transformed being-ness is amazing- having to go first go thru the ‘death’… ‘burning down to ashes’… is very unpleasant and extremely challenging.

The ‘hollowing out’ that we need to do- is almost like gorging out the insides of a turnip so that we can convert it into a nice musical instrument- like a rattle!! The better we hollow it out, that much effective it will be as a good musical instrument- but the gorging out process obviously is very difficult. Even simply writing those words- seem to paint on a picture of pain and horror!!

Why I am writing this here, is because- this is the part, where many people give up on their spiritual pursuits. They get on the spiritual band wagon, thinking that it is all about comfort and solace. Yes, that is very much the case as we start out. 

But as we progress on our journey- we come to a point, where it is no longer about being a spiritual person- it is about being the “very essence of spirit”- about being the “very essence of Divine existence”, at that point- we need to transform. That is the only way we can proceed further. 

Though I am not trying to compare any one of us with the amazing messiah Jesus, it is important to remember that as Jesus, he was just a carpenter’s son, like others during his time. Doing simple work and leading an ordinary life. But it is his internal spiritual journey which ultimately brought him to the point, where he had to transform from “Jesus to Christ”.

It is a crucial point in everyone’s spiritual journey where we need to buckle up, suck it in and take on the task of deep internal transformation or we can simply choose to be a person ‘leading a spiritual life’. That choice is ours to make- and it is a crucial choice- as it determines not just our spiritual progress but also what truly makes us feel content, complete and full of internal light & joy.

As you observe yourself and the spiritual journey you have taken on to date, ask yourself- where do you stand on this path? Do you have the courage to face your fears (internal and external) as you deeply transform?

If not, where can you seek that required help/guidance? How can you bring yourself to that point in your soul-spiritual journey where you will finally be able to transform yourself into your very best version- after all, becoming the very personification of consciousness itself, has to be the very best version that any soul, any being can ever be!!

    Our Journey to "Oneness" 

    It is a journey and like all journeys, it is set with many moments of challenges and accomplishments. 

    But when one's heart is true and the decision is made to "be the best that one can be", then each challenge merely seems like a stepping stone, to be overcome to reach and experience new heights of existential living.

    Hope you find these notes inspiring enough to initiate your own journey...
     
    ​What else will you find here??

    Here you will find thoughts, ideas, musings and  insights which make us reflect on the nature of our life and reality. I hope that these will connect with you. 


    These articles address the various insights, lessons and at times modern-interpretations of techniques and methods of ancient wisdom (particularly Vedic Culture) and also Shamanism, Buddhism, Druid- Paganism, Sufi Islam and Taoism. 

    It tries to bring the wisdom of ancient, insightful ways to benefit a modern, evolving and conscious lifestyle.

    Frankly it brings many of the spiritual concepts to  a "real  life" level!!

    Think of this guidance as "Spirituality for the Rest of Us"... folks who  have families,  careers,  material goals & ambitions  and so on... the ones  who cannot simply extrapolate what  typical spiritual gurus and guides say, when they live special monastic lives.  


    Each one of us may have different life situations but ultimately we are all ONE life and we all go thru these myriads of situations, experiences, thoughts and feelings at some point or other in time. 

    Read along and see how these lessons, insights and guidance can help you to chalk out your own path to 'One-ness'- where you are successful, healthy and Happy.   
    ​

    Do let me know of your experiences.

    I would love to read about them and promise to respond as much as possible.
