HOW TO PUT AN END TO ALL DOUBTS & QUESTIONS ?

--All DOUBTS & QUESTIONS arise in MIND !

--Unless we KILL THE MIND(MANO NASHA)-- DOUBTS
   will continue !

--KILLING the MIND is a VERY HARD TASK but
     POSSIBLE !

--Those who WANT to EARN MONEY, FAME, POWER,
    ENJOY WORLDLY PLEASURES, AFRAID OF SECURITY
    ie, NOT HAVING FULL FAITH / SURRENDER TO GOD
    CANNOT KILL MIND !

--COMPLETE VAIRAGYA(DISPASSION) ie, in the worst
   case I AM PREPARED TO BEG & EAT which is good for
   annihilation of EGO(AHANKARA) should be the attitude!
   & firm belief that"I AM ATMA-BRAHMAN"

--COMPLETE SURRENDER TO GOD --by MIND(MANASA),
   by TALK (VACHA), by ACTION(KAYA) !

--Last but not the least GOD'S GRACE(ANUGRAHA)
   ie, our effort to KILL MIND in PREVIOUS MANY
   BIRTHS !

can be used to improve concentration

 When a person is able to follow above steps by prayer,

bhakthi,meditation,surrender, dispassion,egoless,very 

great urge to know ATHMA & aided by his earlier birth 

efforts,his hidden power(KUNDALINI SHAKTHI) at the 

bottom MULADHARA (anus region) of spinal chord 

(SUSHUMNA NADI) awakens.Then it rises in spinal 

chord upto the top of brain (SAHASRARA ie,thousand 

petaled lotus),in this stage he is as ATHMA,without MIND 

ie,MIND merged with ATHMA ! Extended period in this 

state is deep SAMADHI STATE

CHAKRAS          

    Scriptures describe SEVEN CHAKRAS(junctions)--

MULADHARA,SWADISTANA,MANIPURA,ANAHATHA,

VISHUDDHA,AJNA,SAHASRARA(there are two minor

 chakras Soma,Kameshwara between Ajna &Sahasrara 

which we are not considering) along spinal chord of which 

SAHASRARA is the topmost chakra. Elaborate descriptions 

for each chakra with bijakshara,sound,symbols,no.of lotus 

petals,representative symbols to aid concentration,powers 

associated with each chakra are elaborately explained in 

scriptures.

      

         However our experience shows, we need not worry 

about individual chakras elaborately as given in 

scriptures, as they automatically take place when the time 

is ripe,so much so you don't recognise in between chakras.

Hand mudras like AVAHANA ,ABHAYA,CHANDRA mudras 

accompany rise of KUNDALINI SHAKTHI automatically.

MANO LAYA(suppressed MIND) takes place during 

awakening of KUNDALINI. 

Being fulfilled by the knowledge of the Self and with his 

mind absorbed, and contented, the wise one lives happily,

 seeing, hearing, touching, smelling and eating

ASTAVAKRA SAMHITA describes the state as follows--

There is no attachment or non-attachment in one for whom the 

ocean of the world has dried up.  His look is vacant, action 

purposeless and the senses inoperative.  

The steady one who sees the same everywhere, sees no 

difference between happiness and misery, man and woman, 

and prosperity and adversity.  

In the wise one whose worldly life is exhausted and who has 

transcended the limitations of human nature, there is neither 

compassion nor any desire to harm, neither humility nor 

insolence, neither wonder nor mental disturbance.  

The liberated one neither abhors the objects of the senses nor 

craves for them. Ever with a detached mind he experiences 

them as they come.  

The wise one of vacant mind knows not the conflict of 

contemplation and non-contemplation, good and evil. He 

abides as it were in the state of Absoluteness.  

An indescribable state is attained  by the wise one whose mind 

has melted away, its functions having ceased to operate, and 

who is free from delusion, dreaming or dullness. 

         To forget everything is the ultimate means.Without 

thought world does not arise,hence do not think.When nothing 

arises in mind,forget all,the mind itself is lost.Erase thoughts 

of all kinds,of things enjoyed,not enjoyed or otherwise,

altogether forget everything.Always think of Brahman and this 

way all worldly thoughts will vanish and thought of Brahman 

alone will remain.when this becomes steady,without thinking

"I am Brahman", be the very Brahman.     

               

         There are two stages--MANO LAYA (suppressed MIND) 
& MANO NASHA (death of MIND).In MANO LAYA stage after 
remaining in mindless state for sometime,mind becomes active 
again ! Effort has to be made repeatedly in this stage to remain 
as ATHMA(SELF) by PRANAVA(OMKAR),nama japa,
Gayathri Manthra,concentration of mind on jyothi or form you 
like ie,meditation & dispassion.After repeated effort DEATH 
OF MIND(MANO NASHA) takes place,never to become active 
again.In this stage no more doubts & questions arise !!


THIS IS LIBERATION(MOKSHA) while living who is called
 as "JEEVNMUKTHA."
