There are two words in Physics, One is Reflection and other is Refraction. Can we employ these words in Philosophy?
Lets try.
See, one is reflection, reflection has many meanings in the philosophy. Reflection Means to reflect the Ideas. It is the way by which we see ourselves. According to ancient texts there are three states human lives in. Swapna, Jagriti, Shushupta and Turiya. Shushupta is the state when human has no awareness of consciousness. Jagruti means when human is aware of outer world and Swapna is the imaginations or pictures of outer collected while in Jagruti. Swapnas are less real. The best state all Yogis tries to be in is Turiya Avastha. Turiya awastha is Believed to be best State a human can be in. In this state, Human is conscious of inner and outer as well. In this meanwhile he is conscious of the actions and its reaction as well. Turiya also means nothing, the state when nothing is there as hurdle in vision. Turiya is the source of this vision itself. Still a state. Reflection is the way to attain this Turiya, who is the attainer itself. This is the beauty of this life that we are trying to attain ourselves. Which is already there and just below the sand of thoughts, imaginations and imprints captured inside.
The question that first erupt was Who am I?
So there is a story behind it and that story is already told in some earlier blog. For now what is the logic.
So first lets recall our motive to write and read. It is that we are tryin to understand the human consciousness the imagination and the reflection that needs our Turiya to be recognised by itself.
Yes, reflection is the way and reflection is that which is happening for now. Yes, for now reflection is happening. By writing, we are watching the writings of ourselves. Yes there have been a lot of time since writing but whats the point now.
Buddha invested his whole life in the state of Turiya. He was believed to be the best conscious human of his time, who was able to recall his previous lives as well and the dreams. That's all the meaning of this state. Turiya is the consciousness of the Swapna, Jagruti, Sushupta and any other possible state that might exist.
So, question is how to attain the Turiya?
Answere is, this meditative step. Yes the meditative step that might influence your each and every action and its reaction. The thing that is more important then the money, status, prestige is the life itself and that is fully available only when you are in Turiya avastha. Otherwise there is no life. There are only that three states of unconsciousness and in these unconscious states human do every type of wrong thing. When you are no longer aware or in the turiya awastha you are no longer away from mistakes. You are only capable to do the right things when you are aware and aware of every awastha. The vision will be happening on its own when you do the awakening practice.
Most important practice of being mindful is this reflection. In this state you attain the right path and right reflection as well as the right answers to the questions. The questions are going to disappear when you are the answere itself and you can be the answere when there is no state of being slept. Yes body sleeps and there is need to be slept. But when you sleep, you leave this body in the waves of life reactions.
Hatred, Jealousy, Anger the every feeling that is called wrong only happen when you don't have the right knowledge and this make me recall of Buddha's eightfold path. Yes the right learning, right understanding, right mindfulness, right thinking, etc. I am not recalling every path, but there is the eight fold path to attain the libration the Moksha.
So is the term libration, how to attain it. Is it the right thing to attain?
Before going further, let's clear that the libration is nothing but the detatachment from the worldly things and these worldly things are nothing but the human entanglements that make the human suffer. So what are the things that make human entangled. One is Moha or attachment of brother, sister, mother, father, wife and then is the expectation. When human doesn't have anything with him. He expect from others instead of earning his own. That becomes the main cause of his suffering. Then what's the way? How to be librated that suffering can be removed from human life?
These are really very dangerous things in the life of human and expectations become bigger and bigger day by day, when they are fulfilled. What is the solution?
How to be non expected?
See, when you don't have something and that is your need then only you become needy and expect it from someone else, who have it in the deepest forms. Then you toil hard and earn the value you required. Then the value blossoms and you become relief for others too. But there is a difference between these material needs and emotional needs. Human is potentially designed to have emotions with him. There is another body then the physical body and that body is the soul. Yes the soul is your emotional body that gets the impact from love, care, hatred, jealousy and every emotional reaction. You get the reflection of your physical body by watching into the mirror but if you want to look your soul, watch in your surroundings and then you will be able to see the truth that how people thinks of you. Who are you actually. But this whole process is nothing but the reflection and when you get entangled with someone. You starts expecting something from him/her, then you are doing nothing but the refrection. There is diversity in the emotions and these emotions are nothing but the assets of our soul the sensitivity of this soul is the real reflection of you. One has to understand you fully. Then only you get the real meanings. Ego is another thing, Ego is nothing but the realization that you have this body called soul and care of it by neglecting the soul of others. Ego becomes stronger and stronger by each and every food of emotion that is invested in it. The practice is what make that part more and more stronger. The practice of anger is going to make you perfect in anger and the practice of love is going to make you perfect in doing love. Same is the thing with every emotion and part of your soft body that is your soul. In the opinion of buddha love is the best thing to practice among the people and anger jealousy is the worst. Because ultimately your soft body impacts your hard body in the same way. You physical body becomes the way your soft body is. So, maintain a good healthy soft body so that your physical outlook will become a blessing for the entire universe and not a curse.
That's all for today.
till next be happy keep learning.
