The soul can travel into spiritual realms and unite with its source, the Oversoul, Creator, or Divinity. Realised sages have all achieved this state by inverting their attention, whether it is called prayer, inversion, or meditation. They tell us that our true independence comes when we sit in silence, close our eyes, direct our attention within, and experience the Divine.
The journey begins with our inner awareness or opening of the inner eye; being able to behold the inner light and hear celestial music. Through further absorption in these, the soul transcends awareness of the physical to become aware of inner realms, such as the astral, causal, and super causal regions, until it merges into a region that is all spirit, home of the Divine. We then discover that the soul, which is spirit, is the same essence as the Creator, which is also spirit. The two become one and we experience limitless bliss, joy, and divine love.
Inner Freedom
When we celebrate outer Independence Day in our respective countries, whether it is August 15 in India, August 14 in Pakistan or on other dates in other countries, let us also strive to achieve spiritual independence. We can do so by meditating on inner light and sound which will lead the soul to recognise that we are more than physical body and intellect. We are soul, a part of the Divine, and our true nature is bliss, joy, and love.
Om Namah Shivay.
