Also about the tangible differences, due to practices; from my personal experience I have found that I became in general more accepting of life. Especially with family and closed ones. It is more of a gradual realization that there are no real problems in life; I have been just cooking them up all the while. Being in harmony with life in general. This is what I have learnt/read about the differences post-awakening: Enlightenment is simply waking up from the dream. End of delusions. We are all enlightened even now, we simply don't realize it. Most people mistake enlightenment for perfection. Read the following link which clarifies that aspect. http://aypsite.com/260.html ;specifically these lines "There is a difference between enlightenment (in the light) and perfection (always right). The first is real. The second is an illusion. Is there a relationship between enlightenment and rightness of vision? Absolutely." But following the right action is still within your discretion and there are many gurus who have erred here. The reason many people who do practices don't see results is this. There are essentially two kinds of practices. Samatha/Concentration Practices. Wisdom/Insight Practices. The Concentration practices essentially involve focusing on an object and bringing the mind back to an object when we get lost in thought. Most people mistake these for real meditation. These practices don't change your essential nature. They calm you down, make you feel temporarily good and are used to improve your concentration before you take up the insight practices. The insight practices are the ones which really start changing you and give you true insights into how reality actually is. Going directly to insight practices without adequate concentration may not be very helpful. At the same time mistaking concentration practices for real meditation and getting stuck there is a very common mistake and the reason why many people don't see tangible changes | ||

Anand, I am the most unenlightened and unawakened person you'll ever found on the forums. Sorry not claiming any awakening here. Neither claiming any sanity either, lol. But yes, I have been crazy about this awakening stuff for few years and lacking proper advice wasted my time going in circles. Hence those pieces of advice to anyone interested. Over the years I have become quite skeptical of the authenticity of any Hindu/Indian teachings. I have found the Buddhist teachings (both Zen and Vipassana) to be of more practical value. Yes Kriya Yoga is a good system. The aypsite teachings I mentioned below are essentially those. The only problem with these is that it is a lot of doing which only makes the seeker inside you more stronger. It is this very seeking that has to end. Awakening is simply an act of grace in the end. Something which is given. It is not like bodybuilding or some other sport where you continously build something to get a reward in the end. All those mudras, bandhas, kriyas, pranayamas are essentially for invoking the kundalini/chi energy and I'm not saying they don't help from that aspect. They do. But it is very important to make the student realize enlightenment is not something we get due to all that we do and become qualified but it is more of something which is given. Which is what Zen and buddhist practices do more effectively compared to other systems. I personally spent quite sometime doing all of the advanced kriya yoga practices and I have seen Zen too. Though Kriya Yoga or aypsite practices are still on my recommendation list, I prefer Zen. One good thing about Zen teachers or lineage is that you are not qualified to teach unless you are fully awakened. Thus the teaching is passed down through an unbroken lineage of teachers from starting from Buddha and you are ensured the teacher is qualified enough to teach. | ||

what difference do you see before and after 'awakening' ?

There is no sure shot path for awakening. If yes all zen masters would have done it. There are number ways, zen is one. Kriya Yoga if done properly for 3 years supposed to achieve faster results but ultimately without love, passion, sharing,and duing our duty properly and purity of mind all this is waste | ||

Mastering the Core teachings of Buddha: (A very practical handbook on how to awaken, highly recommended. Click the PDF version in the below link) http://integrateddaniel.info/book/ Indian style practical instructions/lessons without any nonsense: http://aypsite.com/MainDirectory.html I personally recommend Zen (A style of Buddhist teaching). Find a Zen teacher near you and follow their instructions. You really need a teacher if you are serious about awakening. If you don't have a teacher where you live, then follow the below online teachers: http://www.treeleaf.org/ Interview with an enlightened teacher: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbbCkdrAdeI | ||

Your Paryers will keep her safe. Make sure you pray with full heart and keep talking to her in a happy moods reminding the happy days. My expeirience is we make concersations heavy , they too feel the same. Donot talk to her when you are dull. Meditate and feel her love in your heart and send her the same love from your heart. I feel i could not do 100% job one should do in my case, as i left part of it to my sister who stay there. All My Sisters have done wonderful duty towards my parents in this critical juncture to bring us out of crisis. These times will let us know the value of a loving family and togetherness. | ||

Chala Heart touching ga Raasaru. Monna ma mothers ki accidental ga 30% burns ayyayi, Saree atukuni She fought and survived the fire with detrmination, but since then was in a painful but dterministic path to recovery. She is old but active I had to rush and spend some time alon with my sisters After lot of time i felt like i found real myself spedingtime closely with my parents and sisters understanding thier feelings, sharing thoughts. First time i felt my dad and momm as my children. Especially when i used to bresh her and help her sleep, feed her etc. I always remember my mom as active energitic and brave lady with lioness heart, lying helplessly on the bed trying to fight back. Life is all about sharing and caring within our capacity I am very happy i could connect them more closely this time after lot of years of remote living an ocassional visit. | ||

Anyway glad to know Since few days my thoughts were smilar lines Like the way in latest movie Manam. I felt and visualizing human life and after life etc I exp very much when I see my dad dead body. Since few days my mum falling sick so again Thoughts are going different especially when I was talking to her Over the phone day before yesterday. It's amazing She felt like all alone and I am convincing her like We always kids for you wherever you are watever we do We can never be greater than you As she did so much hard work gone thru Very tough times in those days and even now. After seeing all then I realized old age is very difficult especially when u r with many people around. So many conflicts generation changes views changes etc. So better be alone or stay away from people is best for peace. So in our epics says kings or yogis go to forests to get peaceful life Leaving their kids to lead their own life let then Get their own experiences and knowledge etc Over all human life us very much puzzle How we born with predefined Kharma And the relations that we get at times and Where it leads to etc Being alone major part of my life I think more and more Its torturing my brain cells like hell when I start Thinking or visualizing Life is Race. I am in. Driving is my PASSION. Ayya baaboi bullet baby Dhaga... Dhaga... Champuthondi chocolate baby Sega...Sega.. | ||

According to Spriritual Masters 1. Our Spirit is covered of 3 kosaas or Layers (physical, astral, casual bodies) 2. Unless these 3 layers are removed no one can relaize the utimate reality of GOD. Chakras are relasted to astral and casual bodes 3. GOD used 37 aspects to create astral body out of which 19 are used for physical body. 3. The intention of creation is to make all souls experince all the yogas and make them complete before realizing GOD 4. Physical Universe made of all what we see, starts, planets etc, whic can be perceived by Physical body 5. Astral universe is much bigger than physical (like a big cucumber versus small peanut). Physical is attached to the bottom of Atral 6. Astral is with many layers and lokas 7. Astral body does have sense of pleasure, pain to experince the results of karma in both physical and astral worlds 8. When physical perishers, immediately normal soul makes astral body reach special pockets of astral world (after spending in physical realm for some time). Depends on thier deeds need to experince the results in astral world pockets like yama loka, deva loka etc. 9. People who does horrible deeds in physical world, thier souls with thrie astral and causal bodies will be qurentines in horrible hell for longer times 10. Some elevated sould continue thier jounrey of living with thier astral bodies in the higher planes of astral world 11. Normal sould after experincing results of thier deeds come back to physical in any form based on thier karms 12. astral body resembels the last physical human form , where one can meet all his family, friends, enemies , other people 13. Highly evlved souls are sent to physical, astral worlds to educate and evevate souls to casual level. These sould can travel thru these worlds like zip and form thier bodies. 14. the soul also experince death like aspect in astral world. Once it attains sufficient spiritual stadard, it is ready to leave astral world and move to casual 15. From Casual , once it attains complete fulfillment, attains moksha, the union with almight, but maintains its indeitity. 16. all the people who are into desires will keep on making cyclical trips between physical and astral world |
