This approach starts this way that we observe the void which is emptiness/thin air, now from this thin air, there are situated, the highest vibrations, which are falling into our lataif/chakras. Simultaneously and secondarily we observe our internal vibration in the core of our body and soul.
Then we connect these internal vibes with the external void to create a stream. Observation of both, will make us fall into a meditative state. We should not try to force things into action we should start in 1st gear. Try to create this stream aside from mind. I will call this ‘meditation from the void’ and regard this as most consistent and reliable method. To practise this there must be no anxiety or hurriedness. Like Lao tzu says nature does not hurry yet everything is accomplished.
One must have enough love inside himself before he can
See with love and compassion
Talk with love and compassion
Exist and Be with love and compassion etc.
In short, radiate love and compassion in every ‘Here and Now’, which means in layman’s language that we have harvested both ‘Love and Compassion’ by ourselves and then the next thing we do is start distributing it to others and the environment around us at every time every place with everybody. However we need alots of practice prior to using this infinite treasure and blessing.
Its been years since I was introduced to gratitude, I was on youtube watching Qasim ali Shah a renowned motivational speaker here in Pakistan. He did a perfect job in less than 5minutes. He started his speech by putting spot light on the mental disturbance he witnessed on his visit to a mental asylum. Gratitude might be one of the factors missed by those affectees of adversity. How one deals and perceives adversity varies, for some it will take some form of prayer or meditation to waive it, for some medications which have their own side effects.Gratitude is a free gift and an age old practice and it comes and is expressed through various forms and its absence might affect us at a higher level.Related to his visit to a mental asylum, how many great successful(as perceived by the materialistic world) peronalities were there, just a slight unbalance in mind due to some incident had made them ending up in an asylum.
There is a major chance that those people were far far away from mindful practises and rituals. Then Mr Qasim talked about all the people which helped you since your birth.As an example he said if someone serves you tea, say thankyou with the depth of your heart, then next time most probably he will serve tea with biscuits supplimentarily. It is true that there are highly positively charged vibes of a grateful person. Furthermore he introduced to the audience, Rhonda Byrne who wrote the book ´The Magic` which based on Universal law of Gratitude and practises which one may adopt in their daily routines very easily. No doubt gratitude is a vital part of self-love.
How to learn stillness, its quite easy, look at the trees, stones, plants and observe them by first quietening your mind, perceptions and comments about them. Simply just “observe”.
Flowers
stones, pebbles
Do above for a while then try to copy them by sitting in a comfortable posture like people sit in meditative state, hunch your back a bit, bow your head but you may sit upright without hunching, the point is that there must be no pain, stress or fatigue in the physical body(so you may even lean while sitting or even lay down as one lays down in grave). Finally close your eyes and initiate your meditation by renewing your intension about duration and that your meditation is for the llove of God and his beloved prophets especially prophet Muhammad sal lal la hu elei wa alay he wasalam.
The trick is to not to even move a finger while the duration you do stillness meditation. However the only movement you may make is the movement caused by breathing deeply. The trick number 2 is to be still as you will be still in your grave, ego won’t like this but your soul will embrace this concept and enjoy the fruits of stamina and motivation. Now try to observe the vibration sitting behind the stillness inside and outside you. Whenever you get free time, practice above and increase the duration gradually.
We live in a world which is greatly dominated by a materialistic populace. This materialistic approach is bred and nested in the human mind, also called as the thinker by Eckhart tolle. My perceptions also are synchronized with Eckhart’s books especially ‘The Power of Now”. In this book Mr Eckhart tries his best to convince mass population all over the world and generations to come to live in a brand new way, a way that exposes this thing called the ego. How this parasite feeds via mind and thought control or in other words which tools and techniques the ego uses to hijack whole life of human beings. On the top of the list is the thinker.
We are not the thinking body rather we are observer of it. We are not our past self neither we are our future self, we are present consciousness. We are not the blamer we are not the pain nor the pain body. We are not our physical biological body we are our present consciousness. It is very important to understand that what we are not.We are not conflicts and argumentation rather we deflect and observe these.
#Nature
We are regarded as the ‘Ashraf al Makhluk’ (Superior most creation) by the divine one and are furthermore meant to be ‘Khalifa Tualllah’ (Representative of God) on planet Earth, knowing the above is what is meant to be.What is not meant to be, is after we know, we react as arrogant beings. Indulging in arrogance make us fall into unconscious states. Atleast after knowing above, we may develop a set of responses which show the essence of contemplation. Contemplation to a limited and creative degree.Examples might include
Being always in state of meditation
Dodging deflecting or observing conflicts and argumentations
Looking without perception
Listening without perception
Tasting without perception
Feeling without perception
Talking without perception
Writing without perception
Being always in the states of love and gratitude etc.
In the end I intend to pray that may the divine one save us from unconsciousness and lower vibrations of fear of the world.
Majority of the human beings on Earth are filling up their existence with crap. Or you can say they were programmed in their first 10 years with this phenominum called “clinging”, are not even aware of this fact .
At youth we are given our PCs , Playstation , IPads , cellphones , YouTube and the old pal TV . Children are bombarded with advertisements, cartoons, movies which do not carry a moral lesson but an insidious one. These stimuli lead children to get into reactive modes(instead of responsive) which ruin the most productive times of their lives. You can imagine how much crap is in their vessels of existence. The vessels are over flowing with this foul stench.
How we can waive this overflow, reduce this abominable metaphysical matter is the top priority question which is answered by Sages , Gurus , Sufis living or transitioned by death. Moreover holy books also aid this blessed and honourable duty. Some do it by making strong connections with heavenly souls.Some by drawing blessings from the great souls and the divine oneness.
Once the vessels are emptied, Now this is the perfect time to fill the human beings with heavenly bounties peace of mind body soul.This task is performed by masters of souls, not by disciples who are at initial stages of the school of spirituality.
Prophet Muhammad(peace be upon him) was ordered to come totally empty, when coming to prayers. Also on hearing azaan(oral invitation to prayer) he used to get up from any gathering like every body was a stranger.
Furthermore there are the “ushaak” who say that we send all our blessings good deeds especially to our prophet Muhammad(peace be upon him) and ahl e Bait(people of the house of Prophet) , Sahabas(companions of Holy prophet peace be upon him), Aulia Allah(true friends of Allah jala ja LA LA hu) , Shahuda(martyrs) etc etc. And leave our sins to your ever encompassing rehmat(It does not mean to find an excuse to sin instead they are miles always from wrong paths.Such way we live in the dunya but dunya does not live in us but the divine one and his beloved live inside our hearts.
Our life is short unlike our ancestors centuries ago who lived thousands of years whereas our average life is 70 years.We dont have time for participating in any irrelevent thing instead we can use this time to raise our vibrations using meditation in combination with gratitude.
When we harvest these high vibrations we send it back to the transitioned souls who in the past have lived and dedicated their life to this sacred and divine duty. Moreover sending these gifts will never deprive us of our hardwork in being a highly positive entity instead, we will strongly connect ourselves to these super souls.
According to my knowledge the term ´Alchemist` when used as a metaphor is reffered to a person who is able to transmute things against him/her in his favour in a greater degree than in normal situations.
Founder of silsila saifia naqshbandi order
This is no easy task, one has to go through several cutting edge trials tribulations and apparent failures. Its when the rider(the soul) falls off his horse(the physical and mental body) some people before enlightment and glory have to go through these stages.
This rough domain is way not for shallow ones ,this is destinied for those chosen ones or loyal ones who don`t complain the universe over situations in which a person`s mouth and face is met with dust and sand yet they continue or in some cases the universal powers never let them leave, even if they quit a thousand times.
This person when turns in the alchemist he is able to use every adversity as opportunity to sharpen his being using the tools he has especially a complete mentor is a blessing on such coarse paths.
The mentor is always there no matter the traveller/rider of the path can see him or not.Recently I saw a movie in which the mentor/master says to his diciple “In every difficult situation consider what is that you can`t see”.
I salute the intellectual gurus who are showing to the world the art of gratitude. What is this force which many manifestors and mindfulness enthusiasts are utilizing and fueling/boosting its propagation. In real terms gratitude creates addictive chain reactions within the biological human harmonal part and has its strong grounded roots in spirituality in terms of a law of universe. This law is also mentioned in religious books as Quran gives a statement depicting contingency of this law. It states
If you are thankful l will give you more
Quran 14:0ٕ7
In combination with meditation practising gratitude will keep you in a good mood or in other words high vibrational states. With consistency the universal promise will eventually bring you desired gifts in mysterious ways .However the gift part will come if you foster patience within the core of your being.
