Bhagavad-Gita clearly states... it is our soul atman the spirit within that is on its cosmic journey of 8.4 million manifestations... an earthly life cycle of 96.4 million years! Our soul atman manifests the human form to work out its karma... cleanse self of the dross impurities within! In absence of the human body... our soul atman is but an inert matter! Similar as one KG of pure gold sandwiched in lump of hundred KG of gold ore cannot separate of its own and requires external mining machinery and processes for its extraction... our soul atman also requires manifesting a body... to reach end of cosmic life... the 8.4 millionth manifestation when human beings gained enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and finally salvation (moksha)! Step-by-step... manifestation after manifestation our soul atman moves towards gaining more purity! As the dross impurities within the soul atman remove... human beings finally evolve spiritually! For human beings to reach the end of cosmic life God Almighty ordained a journey of 12.4 million earthly years in the human form... a total of 1.1 million manifestations!
By following path of spirituality... by becoming a sincere spiritual seeker... any human being can faster pace of achievements on the spiritual scale but any given moment of time... every living body on mother earth enhances spiritually no matter what! All this happens inherently as it is our soul atman the spirit within that has manifested the body... the human form! The manifested form... the human body simply cannot stop the spiritual development of the body... the human form! Spiritual evolution is an inherent process... one keeps evolving all the time no matter what! Those who desire gaining enlightenment early in life... need fathoming depth of wisdom contained in Bhagavad-Gita of Hinduism.
The contents of Bhagavad-Gita are so sacred... so hidden that none can understand Bhagavad-Gita literally! For truly understanding Bhagavad-Gita one needs traveling the path of absolute truthfulness. In the present Kali Yuga (Dark Age) traveling the path of absolute truthfulness... being truthful all the time is extremely difficult yet, not impossible! Dogged by wanton desires and greed for materialistic riches... normal human beings become a slave to their bloated egos... the prime reason why most human beings desist from traveling the spiritual path! Gaining enlightenment in a lifetime of 70 to 80 years is difficult yet, not impossible... the prime reason why in last 150 years only two persons gained enlightenment!
There is no particular technique for spiritual elevation... spiritual evolution... as many human beings as many different paths to God can there be! Every single living entity is a living consciousness that has been manifested by a soul atman the spirit within! At no stage of life we can underestimate the power of our soul atman the spirit within! Amongst all the techniques available for spiritual evolution... initially human beings require establishing absolute control over five senses and the mind! Establishing absolute control over five senses in a lifetime is difficult yet, not impossible! The moment absolute control over five senses is established... control over mind power becomes easy!
No human being ever produces any thought! All thoughts are floating in ether... the black substance that occupies most of the cosmos... the dark space of the cosmos! Ever since mankind came into existence... the thoughts were ever flowing since inception of the cosmos! Human beings only invoked thoughts based on their capability! Highly evolved human beings invoked higher stages of wisdom... those living at lower-level... the commoners... the masses invoked mundane thoughts that relate to day-to-day affairs of life! For a commoner it is simply not possible to invoke thoughts of higher nature! It is only by traveling the spiritual path one removed the dross impurities within... scaled higher levels of life!
Apart from controlling five senses and the mind... the next technique for spiritual evolution involves practicing absolute celibacy, voluntary celibacy for a minimum period of 12 years in continuation! It is only by practicing celibacy for 12 years in continuation full awakening of the kundalini becomes a reality! The human evolution requires a journey of 1.1 million manifestations... an earthly life cycle of 12.4 million years to reach the stage of enlightenment and finally salvation. To accomplish all this in a life span of 70 to 80 years is mystifying... not legible! Yet, in a life span of 70 to 80 years every single human being can reach the stage of enlightenment and salvation! How?
In whatever stage of life I may have been... when 13 years of age my simple desire turned to firm conviction... come whatever may in this very life I shall see and meet God! 25 years of yoga meditation... I finally reached the 8.4 millionth manifestation when I realized God in 1993 at 37 years of age! Practicing absolute celibacy... voluntary celibacy for a period of 12 years in continuation in given circumstances... in the sensual surroundings is not only difficult to achieve... seems nay impossible! God made beautiful ladies... the sulking human being falls prey to their bewitching beauty as did Sage Vishwamitra of yester era and Acharya Rajneesh (aka Osho) of present times! Keeping a tab on sensual desires is the most difficult task facing mankind!
The respect for ladies I have since childhood made my day. Following celibacy mantra truthfully I finally crossed all hurdles on the spiritual path! Considering all women folk world over as my mother, sister or daughter... I finally plunged myself into cauldron of spirituality! 14 years to pass and I finally emerged a winner... one who had scaled the Mount Everest of spirituality! Follow any technique
for spiritual elevation but always remember we have one life to
live... the present earthly sojourn of 70 to 80 years! By establishing
absolute control over five senses and mind, by practicing absolute
celibacy for a period of 12 years in continuation... every human
being can reach the end goal of life... the 8.4 millionth manifestation!
