What is Pure Consciousness - Divinity is all around—within you, around you, in every living being you meet and come in contact with. It is the pulse of life, the thread which binds all things together, the very substantive nature of all creation. Divinity is not an abstraction far away, an idea that can't be grasped. No. It is your everyday experience. It is the life of your life, the blood of your blood, the essence of your own mind. >
The True Purpose of Meditation - When entering spiritual life, many people are seeking to improve themselves in some way: to gain better concentration, to improve their health, to improve their mental development...But as mind grows in magnitude, as the Sadhaka, the spiritual aspirant, deepens in their spiritual process, they come to realize that there is a point in which acquiring, even things that are very beneficial, is a bondage—that the very act of desiring and acquiring is the building of the ego structure, the development, the satiation of the ego. >
The True Purpose of Being Human - When one has true devotion, the true feeling of love for the supreme, for that divinity which is in the core of all existence, then that love that you have is a gift, a gift from divine being, a gift of the Satguru. That love, that passion inside of you, to know God, to know the infinite, to know the divine consciousness which is at the core of your being, and to meld your individual self back into that core essence from which you have come—that is the deep goal of human life.>
What Does it Mean to be Spiritually Aware - It brings us into knowledge of our eternal being, knowledge of awareness of consciousness so that we know the difference from being conscious and simply responding and reacting to situations, people, and existence around us. Spirituality is that which uplifts the human spirit, which brings us from animal consciousness into awareness of ourselves, not as a body, not as a physical entity but as a spiritual existence... >
Expanding Your Awareness and Feeling
More Unified with Life
You know divinity is all around and within you. In every person that you meet, in every flower, in every tree, in every plant and every animal, the divine being is everywhere.

Human Life as a Path to Awakening
Human life is an ideological flow; a movement from crudity to subtlety. Not everyone who inhabits a human body takes advantage of the potentials of their human existence.

Be the Polestar of Your Own Life - Humanity is one and indivisible. All life is one and indivisible.
