Stability of the Mind in Sangam Yug: Overcoming Maya Through Shiv Baba’s Remembrance

By keeping this drama in mind, one should not, out of fear, amazement, tension, or nervousness, say, “What has happened?” But if someone else says this to us, then we should reply, “Don’t you know what has happened? The Sangam Yug has come, Shiv Baba’s divine birth has taken place, and He has delivered the knowledge via Prajapita Brahma – all this is wonderful.” After saying this, we should then divert our attention toward knowledge. If something serious or thought‑provoking has happened, then instead of using words of fear and tension, we should say, “Something wonderful has happened,” and “This has happened; this is not a problem.” After this, we should lighten the discussion or say, “Whatever has happened, let it go. Now, from this moment, let us fasten our efforts.” By adopting such strategies, the state of the mind will remain stable. 


 

We experience a lot of happiness and stability by remembering these points, which make us fearless and carefree. So why does our state of mind sometimes become disturbed against our own wish, and our inner stage begin to swing?

It is Maya that shakes a person’s state of mind. Weakness in tolerating jealousy, fear, criticism, public honor or defamation, obstacles, difficulties, etc., and the attacks of the vices of lust, anger, and so on, or past sanskars, the clash of different natures and opinions, weakness in the power to face tests and exams—all these do not allow a person’s state of mind to remain stable. First of all, they affect his faith, his determination, his deep, concentrated love for God, his inner renunciation, and his yoga. Wherever a person is weak, Maya influences that weakness. Many times, Maya surrounds a person from all sides, lures him toward itself, or plays its tricks to make him fall or faint.

Therefore, to attain stability and a focused stage, a person should fully and completely recognize God, Maya, and the method of making effort. In fact, it is not difficult to know God, because He is one, constant, and His true identification is also one. But Maya takes many forms; it even takes the form of God. The methods of introversion, tolerance, patience, politeness, fearlessness, etc., that we discussed earlier, and before that, the methods to conquer the five vices that we discussed in the previous blog—by bringing all these into practical life and behavior, we can make effort to stabilize our state of mind. The most priceless tip among these is: listen to Shiv Baba’s Murli daily, attend the knowledge class daily, and adopt the solutions given with love and yoga‑yukta stage by brothers and sisters.

The more we renounce vices and adopt divine virtues, remain in God’s remembrance and soul‑consciousness, and strengthen the foundation of knowledge and faith, the more our stage remains stable, unshaken, and constant. Through this thoughtless, undisturbed state of mind, we will attain our final goal and our original nature.

Today, all the supports that human beings take themselves become unstable. The mind wanders away from the pledge of purity. The body in which they take pride is itself unstable, perishable, and changeable. The desires they have are all temporary and limited. Then how can their state of mind become constant through such supports? The One who is ever‑stable is God, and sitting in one‑directional, fully concentrated remembrance of Him is the best way to attain a constant state.

Transcending Ego

Image
The ego associated with one's family lineage, caste, and nationality is rooted in body consciousness. From a spiritual perspective, the soul belongs to the family of God, the Supreme Soul. By this definition, all souls are brothers and sisters. The true nationality of all souls exists in Paramdham, Parlok, and Brahmalok, and their caste is incorporeal and in point form.   However, when individuals identify solely with their physical body, they may develop an ego stemming from their birth in a so-called "high-class" family, their origins from Rajasthan—known for its courageous Rajputs—or their caste identity as Thakur, among other identifiers. If one remembers their divine family as a point of light and embraces the peaceful world of Paramdham, alongside their soulful connections, they are less likely to cling to the egos tied to nationality, family, or caste. Likewise, considerations of money, status, fame, and position are all associated with the body. In the role of a l...

The power of silence - Union of relationships and values between souls

Image
Silence is a potent form of presence and listening. Silence allows partners to connect on a deeper, intuitive level. It creates a sacred space where the noise of the world and internal chatter quietens down.  The power of silence within relationships is profound, acting as a fertile ground where genuine values and deep connections can flourish. In these moments of quietude, empathy grows, allowing us to reflect deeply on our partner’s experiences and emotions. This shared silence encourages us to step into their shoes, allowing us to better understand and resonate with their feelings. As we become more attuned to their needs, we can modify our actions and habits, ensuring we create an environment where they feel cherished and understood. Silence also serves as an icebreaker; it is the language of the soul. It fosters connections where words may fail. A warm look in the eyes of a stranger or a simple, loving gesture can go a long way in making a positive first impression, often lead...
