Afterword

FOREWORD

"That One which cannot be ascertained by proof but only with Faith is called

Guru, God, or the Supreme Divine Consciousness."

In this age of Kali Yuga (Iron Age) where this world is hurtling fast towards the dissolution, the knowledge about God/Spiritual is getting lost in time and the world will soon become bereft of this knowledge about the Divine. In order to preserve the precious and priceless teachings about the most esoteric of all knowledge—The Truth about God, Spirituality, Life and the purpose of this Human birth which I have been graced to learn under the guidance of the Author and my Spiritual Master—Suresh Rao (KrsnaKnows). I decided to get the Author’s teachings published and be made available for the million out there who can benefit from his teachings. ‘Krsna’ is the name I use to address him and just like Lord Krsna, he is a very simple, humble, great Divine being. He is all-knowing and can expound on any scripture, even one that he has never touched or read before. He is all pervasive and SatChitAnand (Truth, Knowledge, Bliss). On the surface, he appears to be a very normal human being and to the unknowing eye, he puts up pretences of not knowing very much. But to the keen, knowledge-seeking eye, he appears as he is—the Spiritual Master.

His teachings and expositions are put in very simple language, which can be understood even by a simple mind that is just setting out on its spiritual journey. His sole purpose of existence is to teach and establish Dharma in this world. He is not interested in material benefits. He neither has any desires, nor covets anything for himself. His love for man-kind is unfathomable. He is ocean of compassion, kindness and graciousness.

Yet, do not be fooled by the simplicity in his discourses. To understand their depth and meaning, one must ponder over them again and again. His door is always open for all those who have quest for knowing about who God is and what Spirituality is all about. His teachings incorporate both Eastern and Western philosophies. He speaks the language of Love for the Divine and teaches the Way of Life, how to do one’s duty and work towards knowing your Self. His teachings will help the reader understand the truth about this material life. It will make one see through this illusion which we believe is the Truth and live in.

Krsna began to compile his teachings in the form of blogs so that this knowledge reaches the true seekers in this world. As a Master of Knowledge, his only desire is to pass on this Knowledge to as many as he can. Hence it became my sole mission to have this book published as my offering to my Master and to all His devotees. I am mere an instrument in his hands and it is He who is getting this book published through me. There are no words which can ever describe his greatness who is the Athanghasagar (limitless ocean). His one glance will wash away all your Sins in life. The touch of his lotus feet will turn you into a pure Being. With this I, his humble servant, will take no more of your time and will allow you to part-take in this priceless Gospel Truth and find the answers to all the questions you may have in life. Let the notes from this marvellous flute engulf and captivate your heart with the Love for the Divine.

My humble obeisance to my Master, his devotees and to all you readers.

Rajashree Rao

PREFACE

This book is a collection of all the blogs I have been writing over the past few years. They are spiritual blogs based on questions raised by my disciples and devotees during my discourses with them. I endeavored to answer these questions in a generic manner and wrote in a blog form, thus allowing others to gain the benefit of the knowledge. Over the following years, as newer students gathered, I saw similar questions raised by them and so as to lead them to the right answers, I had to rewrite quite a few topics again.

The idea, to simplify spiritual knowledge so that every human being can understand it, is what prompted me to write the blogs. I had been writing on various topics for a number of years, though serious spiritual stuff came about only after 2008 and not before.

Where could I start then? Relying on day to day occurrences in our life and winnowing instances which would lead everyone towards the spiritual truth, I set forth writing stories and blogs which would slowly unravel the meaning behind the ever rich spiritual truths.

Today, we have brought together an entire compilation of these writings and they have been categorized into chapters to make your learning easier. Each chapter pertains to a certain topic. For example, the topic titled ‘Karma’ is a vast topic and I have pulled out all the individual blogs on karma to create an active chapter. Karma and the deeper secrets of this concept can never be understood by the normal human intellect. Therefore, I have used examples from daily life to portrait this karmic knowledge. Is it possible to know the reasons from your past for your current predicaments? There is no way to know the past or the future, then how do you live today without letting thoughts of these affect you? ‘Living in the here and the now’ are words with profound spiritual truth, but are they ever understood by anyone? Unfortunately, this chapter might not be as comprehensive as desired, and on certain occasion, due to the space constraints of a blog, might become difficult to understand. Depending on what questions arise, I shall, on a future date, expand the chapters individually to write another book. Until then, do read the individual chapters wherein I have given broad guidelines for your spiritual unfoldment.

In my essays, I have conveyed some of these very simple truths. Sometimes stories of sages or saints could point out the path and at other times the mythological stories true meaning has been conveyed herewith. I have used instances from some known and some unknown people’s lives.

I had to write it in the simplest prose for every individual to understand. If complex scriptural language were to hide the meaning of these spiritual truths, how will a common man understand them? Hence it was important to write it with absolute simplicity and without flourish. Spiritual knowledge should not be complicated. Hence, it has been my endeavor to let you know these complex knowledge’s by the easiest methods. So, read on.

INTRODUCTION

The main purpose of this book is to delve into the spiritual and understand the truth through scriptural study while learning from the Masters or the Gurus. The truth can never be understood just by reading some texts. They must be contemplated upon and later ascertained by the help of a true Master. Without the Guru or the Master, no one can reach that lofty goal. Hence it is important for one to have the grace of a true Master. Not just anyone but someone who knows the truth, someone who has had the chance to know it intimately. Such a great Master alone can lead you towards that.

This book will take you through those paces using daily life instances. Yet, to have a deeper understanding of them, you need to have the grace of a spiritually perfect One.

The first purpose is to teach you the basics in spiritual and later make you dwell on them. After that you will find the urge to seek out the knower of the truth. He can be found by true devotion to the ‘Divine’. Actually He finds you, rather than the other way around. So pray fervently so that you have the grace and then alone your purpose in this life will be served.

He will take you under the wing and lead you up the path of spiritual. Showing you various aspects and will guide you, always. Suffice to say, the goal is the ultimate moksha or liberation from the cycle of births. Strive hard so that you are seen by Him. Once He finds you then you have reached your destination. Let Him show you the path thereafter by holding the light of knowledge for you. Pray that He finds you.

The purpose for writing this book is to first give a simple understanding of complex subjects in spiritual. The human being is constantly lost in the material world bothered about his day to day activities. He has no inclination towards or value for God or spiritual. The subject hardly interests him since he hasn’t ever been told the real meaning of God or Divinity. He has learnt the physics formulas and arrived at conclusions. But these are wrong since they are biased towards the atheists, agnostics and the material world. Spiritual truths cannot be ascertained by using our normal intelligence or logical reasoning. Spiritual truths are from the spirit world, which is far removed from the physical body.

We all have the basic food and mental bodies which comprises of mind and intellect and then there are the still subtler bodies. The spirit is way beyond all of these and also beyond the human tendencies. Though there are no examples in the manifest world for a Master to give. Hence he uses the closest example that he can offer which a simple human can understand.

This book offers the simplest examples that any human being can correlate to and understand the finer aspects of spiritual.

CHAPTER 1

NOTES ON SPIRITUALITY

i. What is That?

We have time for every other thing in life but no time for That.

That is a very strange part we experience in life. But we hardly know That!

Everything else that is a mystery we want to explore and find out but That which is difficult to know we hardly want to experience it.

Have you noticed our curiosity drives us to know the very end of a suspense novel or a movie? We want to know the twist that comes along with fictional suspense but That which we experience in our life we are oblivious about it.

Now you are curious to know what I am talking about then read on.

That is which we cannot put our finger to it. That is something which drives our life onwards but we do not even understand it.

That was written by Nisargadatta Maharaj in his iconic book called I am That!

But still we have no clue what That is all about.

Some call it God, others call that Jehovah, Allah, Bhagvan, Shunyata or whatever else you want to call That. But still no one can understand That!

Very enticing, yet hardly anyone cares for this mystery.

Who is this That which we talk here?

Try knowing this thing which I call That and you will be stumped and left to wonder what I am talking about.

No one has seen That, yet people talk about that.

Those who seem to have an idea still say that they saw a burning bush; others say they experienced white light, some say blue light and what not.

Yet no one can tell you the Truth about That!

Now we can truly say that That is experienced by very few but they cannot speak about That, because no words can describe That.

Those who have the Knowledge of That are called the Masters, Guru’s, Saints or just the Realized beings.

These are very strange people whom we can meet. They live in a haze and are always very vague about everything. They talk in some strange lingo which we can hardly understand yet when we go in their presence our whole world lights up for some unknown reasons.

So let us explore this mystery called That and meet these very strange creatures called the Masters!

Help us find That!

ii. How does Spiritual Knowledge come to you?

You hear some Spiritual person or texts being recited or hear stories from your grand parent or parent or attend some Spiritual bhajan or recital. You may also get it from the internet or some other source. Now this Knowledge is like talking to a person in Hindi, when he does not even know if there is a language called Hindi. It is impotent Knowledge and will have limited use for anyone.

Just the way I sing Kannada songs without any Knowledge of those words or meanings.

Let me show you how it works . . . Suppose I give you a Mormons Bible, which is shiny and beautiful. If you have no idea of who they are or what their holy book talks about, you will keep it in some corner of the house and will never read it. Now if it happens to fall in some other persons hands, that person will junk it.

Let me tell you how that Knowledge becomes more potent and can make you WISE.

You should get the Spiritual Knowledge from any good source and listen to it carefully taking in each word diligently.

You should then assimilate it in your mind.

Cogitate on it and mull on the teachings given by that source.

When questions start arising in the mind on that topic, you should approach your preceptor to get complete satisfaction of your query.

Once again mull on it.

Then you will find the teachings will solidify and churn your intellect well.

Then there should be an experience of the Knowledge so that you can get the proof of the pudding. Once you get the firm experience, the teaching will become you.

I know you need to have an example here.

The teacher talks about mixing Sodium Hydroxide and Hydrochloric Acid to produce salt and water. She gives the equation and tells you the method of doing that experiment. Then she takes you to the lab and shows you how the two ingredients look like (NaOH and HCl). Then she takes a flask and mixes the two together in a particular way to produce the required end result. But you are still not satisfied till you yourself take the stuff and do that exercise with your own hands. Once it is proved by chemical methods that what you have produced are really salt and water then your Knowledge has FIRMED UP.

This is exactly how the Knowledge gained from any source can get to fruition in your mind and produce true results in you.

So next time you hear some good stuff being recited or exposed to you do the above and see the results for yourself.

iii. Spirituality does not put food on the table! (What is Spirituality?)

True Spirituality does not put food on the table. You cannot earn or take a livelihood if you are a true Spiritualist. Your frugal food and other requirements are met only by the Spiritual Divine through the agents nominated by the Divine itself. These may be some very pious folks or associations connected to the Spiritual. We often mistake religion to Spiritual and sometimes we believe that one is in Spiritual whereas that individual is purely into devotional service for profit alone. Spirituality is all about finding the true God and not some deity who fulfils your demands. Mistaking desirous living as being Spiritual is a common folly.

The One we call God in the Material world is some sort of a banker or provider of mundane stuff.

He makes judgements and gives punishments and rewards you also.

If you believe you are here for getting some wants fulfilled or desires met then you are in the wrong place. You should not stay here but carry on the search for your provider.

To be a true Spiritualist you have to first and foremost give up the beggars’ attitude and come with an open heart. There are no miracles or magic potions offered here.

If you need good health, wealth, joy, peace, children, house, vehicles, ranks, admissions, cases solved in your favour, afflictions and all sorts of diseases removed then you are completely off the track. You will not get any of those things here. No solutions at all.

Spirituality teaches you to know your own true Self. Not the one you call myself.

You know your name, place, parents, etc . . . That is not knowing your-Self.

The One who is the true You. You are calling out to your body all the time and that is not what is taught in Spiritual. You have heard the term that, God lives in everything. But you have never had the chance to meet Him. So who is this God?

The search for the Truth alone is called Spiritual and not some fake God or deity! If you pray to your God and he gives you something know that I am not talking of this God. He is just another agent of the bank or a Santa.

The God in Spiritual is called That, Brahman, The Divine Unmanifest, etc. He has no name and cannot be seen also. He is neither Man nor Woman.

So there are no specific courses to do to get to this God.

Three things happen to a person who gets into Spiritual.

First is called dispassion. You do not seem to like anything at all. You become completely dispassionate about everything. Nothing seems to interest you or hold your attention except your aim called, Knowing the Truth about this Divine. Even food, work, clothes and all sorts of desires seem to fall off. You have complete disinterest in life. You have no idea what hit you. You want to be left alone.

The next is called detachment. You are completely detached from everything in the world. No relationships seem good enough for you. You will only be interested in having relationship with this Divine. You do things for the sake of doing and that too without any motivation for results.

The third thing is called discrimination. This does not mean discrimination by race, caste or class, this means that you know that everything is unreal and only God is real. This way of seeing God in everything yet knowing everything in the Material is purely a dreamlike and completely unreal. This state is brought about only by the grace of God.

The next step is to find a guide who will take you forward in your search for this Divine.

He is called the Guru or Preceptor. He actually searches you out. Both your paths cross each other. Only a true knower of Truth can be called a Master or Guru. He is not in this for Material gains. Remember those who are in Spiritual are not in it for money or Material benefits! So if you find someone who tells you your future or gives you magic talisman or cures, etc. he or she is not a Spiritualist at all.

The pathway to Spiritual is fraught with umpteen pitfalls; obstacles and disasters so if you are not ready for it, stay out of it. Better to know some mundane God of yours who provides you stuff than get into this dangerous path where you are not even sure where your next meal is going to come from.

So my advice to all those who feel they have no time or need quick fix, go to the one who can offer you that and stop thinking you are in Spiritual. Now if you feel you don’t have to stay here, get out and be happy in your own world. There are no free meals here!

iv. Is Knowledge inside or outside?

The transitioning phase of Knowledge from physical to mental would start now. We have read books, watched movies and television, listened to talks and heard over the waves, felt the object for heat and cold, etc. These are all external form of transmission and receipt of some kind of Knowledge. You need some sort of impulse from the external world to understand that Knowledge.

If I go to the basic instinct we can say that the fishes and birds are programmed by their internal Knowledge. They know at birth how to reach the waters or fly in the air. No one could have given them prior information about this Material realm. Yet they have taken to water and air! Humans go about the process of educating their kind. Right from birth we create an atmosphere of Knowledge paucity. So as human beings, we educate or as we think we pass on Knowledge, whereas birds and animals learn from instinct and observation. Why do we not learn like that by observation? It is because we have put in our children the idea about inadequacy. We have created an understanding that we humans need Knowledge so let’s give ourselves instruction manuals.

If I give you an idea about the new gadget that you have bought by a manual, it would take you a day to read and unravel it but if you just open and start putting it up, your instinct will lead you to the final product instantly. You would have saved a lot of your time doing it hands on, rather than following bookish instructions. I will agree to you when you sometimes get stuck you got to read the booklet. This happens because of specifics. Just like every version of dos has its specifics and we have to read up for specific information on these individualistic operating systems.

But when you come to generic it is all the same and most of us can manoeuvre it perfectly.

Then if we can understand such basic stuff and go around it by our own internal Knowledge, it just goes to show we have tremendous amount of information or Knowledge embedded. Maybe futuristic Knowledge will not be accessed externally but internally.

In our ancient scriptures there is a mention of embedded information or hidden Knowledge. Then there are stories which we call myths but they too have internalized information. These are codecs or coded information in scriptures known to hardly any. These can be interpreted in many ways. One is at face value. It would be just a simple story. For others it has deeper meanings. They find some teachings or religion in them. Then there are those who can understand the embedded code. There are no teachings there but just ascertaining the Knowledge within to Knowledge without. It’s just confirmation of both. Ascertainment. Here an example will help. If one sees a dragon fruit and doesn’t know about it then he asks around. The second kind will know it and enjoy the fruit. The third will look at it and just not eat it or check it out. He would just let it be or leave it alone.

Our internal Knowledge is a vast array of untapped information. We have to tap it inside of us. Know about it. These do not require external stimuli for inducing action. Knowledge inside is action less, yet it’s not static but dynamic. It just is full. You actually don’t need any more from outside.

So as we move into the last lap of the final Yuga¹ called the Kaliyuga, this Knowledge will open up. Going deeper inside, we will know objects or any other even without physical perception, even beforehand or prior to birth. You too experience it and call it déjà vu. There is no future coming ahead of us. We are just turning the page. The words exist there. We just read. Understand that we have already been there and done that. Just now it’s just déjà vu, a repetition of that. For the ignorant it’s wonderment, for the knower of Truth it’s just that mouth eating the tail. Nothing new so it’s just that.

v. Giovanni Belzoni and the river of life

Giovanni Belzoni was a great explorer of the Nile. Failing miserably as a strongman, he ventured into Egypt to explore the ancient ruins. His determination to succeed pushed him to roll down the big head of Memnon down the Nile and ship it to the British Museum. Braving against various odds he opened the great Temple of Abu Simbel at Karnak.

Sometimes we too have to battle against great odds to find God in our life. If we do not venture down the river of life, we cannot move ahead.
