Where there is no mind or if the mind is crystal clear, Aathman reveals itself.
If we voluntarily stop the mind for a few seconds frequently throughout the day..Practicising it for 2 to 3 months, the Aathman will reveal itself for several times in a day. The objective is to be in that state for 24 hours.
I had shared the technique given by Paramacharya above..
I herewith share the technique that is simple.. In the childhood days, we play "Statue and release" aka "Attack and release". Suggest the same now. Once you say for yourself "Statue", the entire body and mind will stop for few seconds.
That is the moment YOU ARE THAT.
Try this atleast once every hour.. After 2-3 months practice, the silence/aathman reveals itself. Please reach me at 9840217417 if you require any assistance on this.
Dear Srimadhan ji,
I am very surprised to read this.
Firstly can you explain what you define as the Mind?
To be frank we can only stop conscious thinking but not the subconscious.
That too a total stop is just imaginary..in the sense we are actually focusing on something when we claim to stop the mind.
Even if you say "Statue"..nothing actually stops..heart goes on beating,respiration goes on..kidneys go on functioning..brain goes on functioning...the parasympathetic system is actively
functioning.
Technically if you feel the Atma needs to "reveal" itself to you that means a state of duality still exists ..where is the question to reveal anything when in reality nothing is hidden..nothing is bound and also the question to be free does not arise too.
The human mind in the quest for spirituality goes thru various stages:
1)The Bhakta stage where one feels extra holy.
2)Then the Eureka stage where one feels he has tasted some amount of divinity and actively starts preaching to others.
3)Then the empty stage where one feels he has not really decided which direction he should head.
4)The the skeptic stage..where doubts arise in his mind
5)The "go to hell' stage..where one can take a 180 degree turn and might become an Atheist or Agnostic.
6)Those who survive stage no 5 later realize that everyone is unique and we actually find our own path which might not be same as an another and lives life without complicating his mind or the minds of others.
Now back to topic..I feel its best for each person to find his/her own way and I am surprised to see your phone number here for those who want assistance to make Atman reveal itself..well... truly realized souls do not actually teach others short cut techniques.
