Call of the Unknown


Swami Sukhabodhananda 

The call of the unknown is the call to unite. All the waves in the ocean are nothing but water, but to see this oneness, a certain spiritual apparatus is needed. Hence, in India, you put a dot on your forehead. That is seeing the world not through ordinary eyes but through the eye of intuition. This inner apparatus supports one in transformation.

For this to happen, the body, emotion, intellect and sex centres have to be pure. Each of these centres has a mechanical part and a magnetic part. When the magnetic part of the centres is harmonised, then one can drawin a different faculty to see. Then oneness can be seen.

Like how you need an X-ray or scanning machine to see deeper parts. So, the discipline is to drop negativity of all the centres and enhance positivity so that the faculty to see oneness happens. One has to learn how not to identify with negativity and learn the art of delinking. For this to happen, learn to have non-consideration when these forces attack us. Our inner consideration is a part of identification with them.

What is blocking us is our mind that is not cultured, not purified, a mind with its “dogmas, conclusions and opinions”. When all of these exist, ego will exist. The ego identifies with an ideal and anyone disagreeing with the ideal is a block in his life. When a child is born, there is no ego, it is innocent. Then, slowly, society and family put in the “I” in the child. Even our education system, in an indirect way, gives vitality to it. The true purpose of spirituality is to help us overcome ego. the speaking tree
