I am the life and the way

"Follow me. I am the life and the way," said all the great masters.


You are there. On the threshold of make or break. Of a great truth you were seeking. The Masters were led to great truths. So were you too.


You will have to stand still. Just be there. Let time pass by and you will make it. No amount of thinking will help.

You will find that you are beyond questions and answers. You get vague images. Vague dreams; sometimes recurring.

You get up in the middle of the night to find that you are alone, but safe. You don’t know what’s happening.

Then, one fine day, it happens. Enlightenment dawns.

You become silent with the overwhelming knowledge of it happening. Truth shakes you as you realize it. You feel one with Kahlil, Kabir, Buddha, and Jesus.

You will be still like a lotus in full bloom in a silent pond in the early hours of the dawn. You will feel your senses filled up.

You feel heady. Intoxicated. You feel that words are not enough. But words are all you have. So you start to talk, write, and preach.

You are at complete peace with your role in life. On this planet. You know what you want. What you are.

All definitions become incomplete, unnecessary. No stereotypes work. You forgive yourself first. You see beauty everywhere.

You are ready to face life. Live it. Your self and your life become one entity. All maya is over.

Then, life goes on...

When Truth dawns and the veil gets lifted, then one is able to see and live life for what it really is --> in total awareness. That is how the great Mahatmas lived their lives -- in bliss.

What they really felt, knew and saw, we would not be able to understand because it is not to be seen read or heard but experienced. Spirituality is a journey to be undertaken and experienced.
