Seven Steps to Divinity

A reader of Tattva wrote to me: “As part of Sanatana Dharma, our duty as human-kind entails that we become DIVINE in our metamorphosis, constitution, lifestyle, and composition.

Divinity and divine spiritual thoughts bring us firstly peace, secondly love, and thirdly compassion: the three most significant qualities we need to understand our own kind and our own Atman.”

One suggested strategy for attaining that metamorphosis is to set your feet on the following seven steps to divinity.

1. Relax. There is nothing to agonize about so long as you keep the objective of spiritual progress in mind.

2. Study the scriptures. Broaden your reading to include the Upanishads, world history, astronomy and philosophy.

Exploring a wide variety of ideologies and beliefs creates an individual value system that is as unique as you are.

Your personal ideology will begin to flow through the whole of your life, growing ever more broad and specific to your life, benefiting you in ways you never thought possible.

3. Believe in your heart. Within each of us there is a source of wisdom that is ours and ours alone. It is the inner voice we occasionally hear advising us during periods of uncertainty.

Whether we label it the conscience or the heart of consciousness, this voice is usually quiet and unassuming, which means that it can easily be overshadowed by other concerns.

We must listen to it carefully and attentively; the wisdom it offers will guide us toward the most rewarding alternatives.

4. Purify the personality. We all have things we keep closeted away in our minds – thoughts about who we think we are, thoughts that are so personal and embarrassing that we would never want to let anyone see them.

In this step, we let these thoughts go. This brings an amazing sense of lightness and freedom.

5. Know the self. I have always found the fifth step most satisfying. Now flip the exercise around and examine your own goodness.

Feel the radiance of your own heart; touch the depth of your own wisdom. This exercise helps us imbibe more divine qualities.

6. Meditate everyday for at least 15 minutes. During the meditation, experience your divinity by identifying with Lord Shiva or Mother Lakshmi or any other form of God. Start by visualizing the deity “out there” in front of you.

Gradually draw the Being within yourself with each breath until it becomes who you are.

7. Trust the Sanatana Dharma. This is a science verifiable by reasoning, research, and experience. Even in this world, plagued by terrorists and wars, there is something which helps us awaken.

As great saints discovered through direct experience, the Atman, or immanent eternal Self, is one with Brahman, the Absolute Principle of all existence; the goal of every human being is to discover himself, to find out who he really is.

So let us recognize and respect the sacredness of everything.

If you have seriously cultivated enlightened consciousness, the next time all hell breaks loose, you will see it for what it is - a movie on the screen of material existence.

And you will be able to flip the channel to another program even while expertly dealing with the calamity on hand. This is the divine nature of consciousness.

Why live an ordinary material existence which culminates in old age, disease, and death when you can instead live a life of unlimited adventure at the vanguard of existence, relishing unlimited transcendental bliss at every minute?

It does not matter where you are or who you are. You can constantly taste the sweetest happiness if you will take shelter of the transcendental platform.

All in the family

A young man was fucking his sister. The girl said in appreciation, "Sure, your dick feels larger inside than papa's."
"I do believe it." The young man replied. "Mummy also says so."

Home Tutions (Adult Content)

It was my earliest days in the city. In order to finance my studies I had to find some work somewhere. But the options were not many.
Giving tutions to schoolgoing children was the easiest way out. I told my landlord it would be a great help if he would recommend me to someone for the purpose. He did not take much time. The following Saturday morning I had to see someone on the third street from ours. I was so eager that waiting became some what painful and I, therefore, reached the place a full half an hour ahead of the appointed time.

Teach the lady instead
I was a bit taken aback to see the gentleman who welcomed me as the doorbell rang. He was a man certainly in his late fifties. He looked frail but ushered me in with a grin on his face. After the usual formalities were over, I directly came to the point asking him to call the kid I was supposed to teach. The gentleman explained with a sense of empathy.
There was no kid to teach; but his daughter in law instead. She has had no issue so far. "You see, she has been married for about four years now. But no issue, you understand?"
"No, I didn't." I said.
"Don't rush, you gradually will." He told me with a sense of assurance and explained why the young housewife needed to be taught. She had taken up recently a job with a nursing home. And her poor English was threatening her dismissal there. I wanted to refuse and just then she appeared with a tray carring tea and some snacks for me. I immedietely knew why she had not been sacked from the job. A young beaty like her is always hard to refuse.

She was willing too
Soon we were in her room where she sat across me in a chair. She brought out her note book and started writing some sentences that I told her to. She was looking downwards at her note book and was properly dressed. She had given me no signal whatsoever upon which I may have acted and made any kind of advance to her. She appeared to be honestly busy with her work. But I had started dreaming and stripping her in my heart.
When she gave the note book back to me to see how she had done, I intentionally put it on my lap. I did it in such a way that it may announce the bulge in my crouch. If she cared to notice. And that's what she did.
