The Gross and the subtle consciousness (Chetna)

Kailash ch Sabat

enquiry@bepara.com

We practice yoga and spiritualism by different methods however the controversy of opinions prevails.But surrender to god is most important for a spiritual consciousness. In Odiya it is told Mala thak thak tilak saru Badmasank param guru.(Meaning chanting should not be simply decorum) So the method simply shows decorum but actul devotion in god is essentialy. But spiritualism in world has touched unimaginable heights.We are simply a mechanic.How can we imagine about a cryogenic operation individually.So if a man/woman in person somewhere in the world interacts physically with god is no surprise atall.We hear many things about Kali maa,Hanumaan ,Jagarnnat or lord shiva.Even Allah and Jesus are also belived to be in person in some places.But our sadhana is not of that level,we must admit. Whatever the method you follow subtle consciousness is very important.While subtle level of achievement to god helps you towards the spirit the gross activity of consciousness stops us from so.So it should be in the form of surrender to the almighty as our energy and level of knowledge is limited. Subtle consciousness means finding the source of our life.Like we go to patal ganga ,the source of Ganges or to ocean the believed source of sun god so also the source of atma is paramatma.

When we know this existence of truth our perception about god around us changes.We feel him in the person before us and as lively as our parents ,wellwishers ,wife or friends,brother and sister. Then we never fear to anything and remarkably we succeed in our mission.But we are in gross consciousness and hence alone and weak and fail everywhere.

But mostly we think that body is the prime objective due to lack of time and even though we tell about atma ,paramatma but ultimately we think about removing a disease primarily. In my previous article I wrote Thoughts in making and curing diseases And inA a spiritual man is never alone about this internal consciousness .where I tried to explain about the importance of our internal consciousness. India is different from other countries as God himself determines the actions of Indian spiritual developers as God has to take care of this world permanently .Hence the steps and decisions about our fate is grossly preconceived. Thinking about god through our subtle consciousness again and over again,the necessity,essence,power of such consciousness awakens our spiritual power and that has nothing to do with a family and life with our wife or husband(spouse). Krishna god has told Asansaya maha baho mano dunirgraha chalet , Abhyasat tu kounteya baragen cha gruhitam.

So also Atmanem atmen bandhu ,atmane ripu atmanam This also shows the existence of subtle mind ultimately defining our livelihood. The methods of Indian worshipping has a lot to do with our spiritual conscience awakening.Say praying a tree,observing fast,Honouring the guest,Yoga,Mantra chanting ultimately developes our subtle conscience. In last as a morning shows generally a day or cloud indicates rain or cool air raises hope for a large water reserviour around so also our wandering mind,alternative thoughts,frequent diseases and bitter failure in various relationships indicate that we need to focuss more on our subtle mind to findout the truth around us.

This is emphasized in veda and yoga as five layers of body and mind and true yoga is to focus on these bodies and not simply physical postures only. Like annamaya kosha Manomaya kosha Pranamaya kosha Vigyana maya kosha Anandamaya kosha An article by kailash
