Free Will According to Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

On by

I have been con­tem­plat­ing about the con­cept of free will for a while. I looked back into my life, into all that hap­pened and all that I accom­plished. When I con­tem­plated on things that just hap­pened it felt like I had no con­trol over them. How­ever, when I looked at things that I felt I accomplished—at least felt that way at the time of their accomplishment—initially, I felt I had done them out of my own will—free will.

Ways to Overcome Limiting Thought Patterns

On by

We end up liv­ing a life that we con­stantly think of and dream of. We will real­ize this fact, if we take a few moments from our busy lives to look back and con­tem­plate on what hap­pened so far and what was our men­tal state dur­ing those times. Though this may come as a shock or make us feel uncom­fort­able, once we real­ize that so far we have been lim­ited by our own thoughts and imag­in­ings, […] Con­tinue read­ing →

Two Paths to Effortless Spiritual and Material Life

On by

Based on our cho­sen model of cre­ation we can define two approaches to spir­i­tu­al­ity and life–(1) A Bottom-Up approach and (2) A Top-Down approach. The names, “top-down” and “bottom-up” are cho­sen based on the fre­quency or vibra­tory lev­els dis­cussed in our model and they have noth­ing to do with their col­lo­quial usage. Both approaches take you to the same state of wit­ness con­scious­ness, but it is very nec­es­sary that you under­stand them, so that you don’t get con­fused and conflicted. […]

Doing By Being

How can you do by being? What does it mean by being? Being sounds like just sit and do noth­ing. Is it being lazy? What is it? Doing by being is the most help­ful in any cre­ative endeavor. “Cre­ation” by def­i­n­i­tion means “to make or bring to exis­tence some­thing new; some­thing unprece­dented.” But, fears arise, because mind can only cope with things that already known.

A Surefire Recipe for Successful Manifestation of Your Wishes and Desires

Flame of Desire

This is another install­ment of arti­cles writ­ten in the series Cre­ation and Man­i­fes­ta­tion. In this arti­cle, I dis­cuss what helps you to make your wishes and dreams come alive. You may be won­der­ing why I am advo­cat­ing man­i­fes­ta­tion of desires, as opposed to drop­ping all of them on your way to enlight­en­ment which is the tra­di­tional view. That is a topic by itself to be cov­ered in a sep­a­rate arti­cle. For now, trust me that it is bet­ter to man­i­fest your desires and expe­ri­ence the results to bring wis­dom into your life to cre­ate an Expanded Sense of Self (ESS), than try­ing to drop them which may cause more inner conflict.
