THE SPIRITUAL ASPIRANT

. THE SPIRITUAL ASPIRANT, THE
FIRST MOMENT OF BLISS AND ITS
CONTINUOUS GROWTH

The ever-awaited first moment was the moment when I was convinced that I was not an individual at all. The idea of my individuality had set me burning so far. The scalding pain was beyond my capacity to endure; but there is not even a trace of it now, I am no more an individual. There is
nothing to limit my being now. The ever present anxiety and the gloom have vanished and now I am all beatitude, pure
knowledge, pure consciousness.

The tumors of innumerable desires and passion were simply unbearable, but fortunately for me, I got hold of the
hymn “Hail, Preceptor”, and on its constant recitation, all the tumors of passions withered away as with a magic spell!

I am ever free now.
I am all bliss, sans spite, sans fear.
This beatific conscious form of mine now knows no bounds.
I belong to all and everyone is mine.
The “all” are but my own individuations, and these together go to make up my beatific
being. There is nothing like good or bad, profit or loss, high or low, mine or not mine for me. Nobody opposes me and I
oppose none for there is none other than myself. Bliss reclines on the bed of bliss. The repose itself has turned into
bliss.

There is nothing that I ought or ought not to do, but my activity goes on everywhere, every minute. Love and anger are divided equally among all, as are work and
recreation. My characteristics of immensity and majesty, my pure energy, and my all, having attained to the golden core, repose in bliss as the atom of atoms. My pure consciousness shines forth in majestic splendor.

Why and how the consciousness became self-conscious is obvious now. The experience of the world is no more of the world as such, but is the blossoming forth of the selfsame conscious principle, God, and what is it?
It is pure, primal knowledge, conscious form, the primordial “I” consciousness that is capable of assuming any form it desires. It is designated as God. The world as the divine expression is not for any profit or loss; it is the pure, simple, natural flow of beatific consciousness. There are no
distinctions of God and devotee, nor Brahman and Maya. He that meditated on the bliss and peace is himself the ocean of
peace and bliss. Glory to the eternal truth, Sad-Guru, the Supreme Self.
