Today, the word “Enlightenment” is used quite a bit in spiritual circles. There are “Enlightened teachers”, Enlightened masters”, Enlightened gurus”, etc. In the world of spirituality, it is part of the marketing of spirituality. It is a business. That is neither good nor bad. Simply an observation.

God being infinite leaves no room for the devotee to exist as a separate person.

Finding Peace Within

Sri Ramana and other sages have advised that one should bring awareness to any feelings of anger, hatred, revenge and remove such emotions from one’s consciousness.

Agitation of the mind due to negativity will hinder one’s own natural peace and not allow the mind to surrender to the Lord who sits in the Heart.

The ancient teaching is to witness all fluctuations of the mind without identifying with them. In this way, the mind gradually becomes still.

Oh God, I don’t believe you
Break through my eyes and skin

Rest in Beauty: By Dr. Harsh K. Luthar

Harsha . Uncategorized

Rest in Beauty.

Rest in beauty
awaken in love.

Myself, yourself
we rise like waves.

Splash and play
on the banks of life.

Sign our names
on this lovely sand
and then back again.

Ocean calls.

This embrace has no beginning or end.

Love, Heart, and Enlightenment: By Dr. Harsh K. Luthar

Love, Heart, and Enlightenment

Sri Ramana Walking

Sri Ramana once said that many advanced souls get liberation after reaching higher planes and that a few rare ones attain mukti (liberation) right here and now. In such cases their Prana along with mind (Kundalini Shakti) gets fully absorbed in the Spiritual Heart and the individual identity is dissolved into Brahman, the Self, the universal Heart and consciousness.

The Meaning of the Term “Ji” in the Indian Culture: By Dr. Harsh K. Luthar

Harsha . Advaita and Yoga, INSPIRATIONAL, LIFESTYLE, PERSONAL, TEACHERS . Harsh Luthar, Pride, Satsang Teachers, Spiritual Humor, Superficial, vanity

Pride and vanity in spirituality.

In the Indian culture, we sometimes add the word “ji” at the end of someone’s name to convey respect.

For example, if someone’s name is Ashok, and we want to convey warmth and respect, we call him Ashok-ji. If someone’s name is Maya, we call her Maya-ji.

However, in the Indian culture, no one will ask or demand that we add “ji” when addressing them to show respect. That would be very uncool. It would actually be humorous. It is up to us when we want to add the “ji” after the name of the person. There is no compulsion that we have to add “ji” to the name of everyone we meet and greet.

Face of Fullness: By Dr. Harsh K. Luthar

Harsha . Uncategorized

the gate to freedom exists
within the eye of the I.

There are no free thoughts;
the gate to freedom exists
within the eye of the I.

It may be known
when you are alone
and completely empty.

Or when lovers meet
to spend their passions
and rest in the heart.
