Love is not the purpose

Love is not the purpose

Love between people is not the reason for being of your existence, in other words: you are not alive to love people nor to be loved. It is good to love and to be loved it is better that to hate everybody and to be hated but it is not the subject, the purpose of the human life.

I often read, on the social networks, the sharing of people who advocate the empathy, the compassion, love for others and praise the deserves of such Indian wise person, such guru which speaks about love, to develop your altruistic qualities.

This gurus are not spiritual masters. Doubtless these people are holy people, really but not gurus. A wise person who teaches you love is a beautiful person who deserves your respect and your affection and an example of the fact what a human being may be for the good of all, but the purpose, the reason for being of your life is not to love and a guru has to allow you to discover and to achieve the reason of your coming on Earth, not to teach you love. The saints are here for that and a guru is not necessarily a saint.

A holy person maybe an example not a spiritual guide. The purpose of the human life is not to become holy either a kind person or a lover.

This idea is well an inheritance of the Christian religion: "Have love one for another; even as I have had love for you, so are you to have love one for another" [John 13:34] but really the Christ did not address to all the people but to his very rare disciples and he sent them this command so that they stand by and examples in their mission of sermon.

The exact quotation of the Christ, as it was passed on to us by the Gospels is: " My dear children, I am only to be with you a little longer. Then you will be looking for me: and as I said to the Jews, so now I say to you, Where I am going you may not come. I give you a new law: Have love one for another; even as I have had love for you, so are you to have love one for another. By this it will be clear to all men that you are my disciples, if you have love one for another ".
[John 13: in 33.34.35]

A spiritual guide, a guru has to bring his disciples, his Chela to the Liberation of the Samsâra chains - the cycle of the incarnations- by teaching them a "method", or Sàdhana allowing them to go out of the illusion, the confusion.

This true, deep spiritual approach takes place inside the disciple and the others are not concerned at all. Your relation with the others is not taken into account in the deep Meditation, or dhyàna. The biggest mystic isolate themselves from the world and dedicate themselves completely to the quest of the Liberation.

You are not all intended to live in hermits and doubtless have a social and a family life, and a loving one, and for this kind of relationship love can be conceived and can even justify itself. it is not bad to be altruistic or full of empathy but this quality of feelings, once again, will not take you forward one millimeter towards the fulfillment of your reason for living, the Liberation.

"Each incarnation gives to the soul a little bit more Conscience"

[Bhaktimàrga 1-2-14]

The Christian religion teaches, on the contrary, that to cultivate these feelings, these virtues and this behavior makes you go to the steps of the Christ and, so, win the Celestial kingdom. Nothing in the teaching of the Christ, which I know and which I respect, does not really say that and the Kingdom to win is inside that he said it !

" If those who guide you tell you: well, the Kingdom is in the sky, then the birds of the sky will anticipate you. If they tell you: it is in the sea, then fishes will precede you; but the Kingdom is within you and it is outside of you. "
[Thomas, logion 3]

The purpose of your life is either to love nor to be happy.

Love and happiness are certainly more pleasant than the hatred or the indifference and the misfortune and if you have the choice, it is not stupid to favor them and to look for them but nothing prevents from loving, from being loved and happy while working at your Liberation.

What I want let you understand is that they are different things. If you are seeker, eager to find the real, fundamental reason of your life, why it has been given to you, then the search for the well-being, the sentimental love should not divert you of your spiritual fulfillment.

A guide, a guru which commend love between people attracts a lot of people because this speech pleases them and corresponds to their convictions but a guide is not there to flatter the people. Are you sure that a guru, that a guru which attracts most people delivers the most spiritually and coherent teaching ?

The purpose of the life is either to love or to be happy. The purpose of your life, as of any lives, is to return at the source of everything, where your soul comes from, in full Conscience. To achieve this, there are things to do and love is not a part of it even if it isn’t prohibided nor unpleasant to love when we are loved in return by another person.

There is a reason, a purpose

The human being is not the fruit of imbecile energy that would have been delirious. All the Creation has a purpose. In all things and in every human being lives the same energy. The believers give to it the name: God. This name is worth an other one, even

En français

There is a reason, a purpose

A so big force !

 
 

God has no name which can be pronounced.

Others give it other names.

God is not a man living in the sky

and tilted on the humanity

distributing it good and bad points. 

 

"The Humanity, the Earth and the sky live by the Grace of One, 
But One exists by Himself "
 [Bhaktimàrga 1-1-48]

In the macrocosm, in the star systems, the nebulas, in the "space" which separates them, as in the space between the core of the atom and its electrons, there is the same energy, this energy which the physicists pursue by means of huge cyclotrons, this energy exists and it lives in you as in all things. 

We settle down for ever

 

The human being consumes, consumes and still consumes material goods, when he can, love which he often confuses with sex, nevertheless he does not find long-lasting satisfaction and the desires take the management of his existence. He lives his life as if he had to stay there for ever. He runs after a career, wishes to buy a house, gets into debt then becomes older, sick, bitter and frustrated.

When we are poor we can hope that once rich we shall be happy, but when we are very rich and not happy, what shall we do ? We joins in the upholders of the cabbala, the Scientology ? We are involved in saving the planet, what shall we do ?
 

It is necessary to assume

To have a good job, good income, a house, a family 

is not a bad thing but there is something more important to do with our life: 

to realize the cause of our coming, 

to reach the real detachment and to assume our dharma. 

 

What proceeds of the dharma are things as: working, living in couple, getting children, being useful for the others, not hurting, respecting the laws, the habits and customs of the community, getting involved for worthwhile causes etc. But to do these things shouldn’t let forget the first cause of our coming. 
 

We are not in one block 

 
You have inside you numerous bodies, on different planes. There is a human body, which was born, which grows, ages, then dies. It is your terrestrial vehicle, with its sensors to percieve the physical world. These sensors of the body are the eyes to see, the ears to hear, the sense of touch, the sense of smell, the taste. Then there is a mind, which is the operating system of your brain. 




 

"The mind leads the body and the soul to dream, to feel the beauty of the Creation"

[Bhaktimàrga 1-2-21]

There is your soul which generates the subtle senses, as the talent of the artists, the love, the compassion, the generosity, the hope, etc. The soul is your true person subjected to the cycle of the incarnations.

The important thing in the life

The important thing, in this life is, while assuming as good as possible your dharma, to look inside you for the door which opens towards the freedom, somewhere else, beyond the karma, beyond the cycle of the incarnations, the duality, the pain and the vanity. 
 

"The evil has so many names, it is false-ego, unconsciousness, evil and the separator "
[Bhaktimàrga 1-4-31]

You have inside you an ally, the Holy-Name or Verb. There is also an intruder, the false-ego, the aberration of the ego caused by the absence of conscience at the same time as its counterpart according to God's will (Lilà¹).

The human-being is incapable to fight against the vanity, the duality, the doubt and the suffering. Is the ant able of diverting the course of the cannonball on which it is put and which is thrown by a cannon ? The Grace that flows in him is needed all the time. To put yourself under the Grace it is necessary to go to the place where it flows. This place is here and now and the purpose of the original yoga, the path is to give you tools to go and see there and to remain there.

1/Lilà, God's game.

The purpose of our yoga

The purpose of our yoga

The anger touches only you

In the life it happens, inevitably, problems and each problem requires to be settled in a particular way. For example: when your car breaks down it is never the good moment. There is no good moment to find yourself stopped on the roadside because of a breakdown. There is certainly a solution: if you have a smartphone and a connexion, you call your assistance for help. If you have no smartphone, you look for a house which will let you use their phone.

Of course this breakdown is annoying: you went back from shopping, you have frozen products in your bags and the children are alone at home. The breakdown mechanic will be there only in forty five minutes. Thus this problem is annoying and generates important inconveniences, but well ... What should you do ? It is the principle of reality: you have to live with it. There is no other choice.

Then there are several possibilities: either you curse, you are angry and the victim of your anger, or you don’t get excited and enjoy your life because you are always alive and able of enjoying it. The breakdown of the car deprived nothing to you: just you will be an hour late.

Then either you have a cool temperament, a philosopher and master of your mood and you opt for the second solution, or not and you need a way not to be overflowed by the anger and the frustration.

This example to tell you that there are numerous occasions where the contrariety, the anger and the frustration will come to shake the surface of your mood. This agitation plunges you into a bigger ill-being that the arisen problem and lasts longer.

The suffering of the soul

Sometimes, often, we don’t feel well and we don’t know why: we may enumerate what happens in our life we don’t find objective causes for this ill-being. It is deep and out of reach of our reason. Then we consult a doctor who will prescribe an anxiolytic which will become another problem.

There is a suffering of the soul deprived of this Peace because of a bad positioning of the Conscience.

The purpose of the path

It is the purpose of the path, proposed here, to give you the means to reposition your attention at the right place. It is not a recent invention. We find traces in others yoga, as those of the Trimàrga and the raja-yoga. It is not a recent assembly which would have took certain things here and others there. The raja-yoga has common references with the path, but in its practice it is very different. That is why our path doesn’t bear this name. The " original-yoga " is not yoga.

The original-yoga of the path of freedom is the yoga which inspired the Sàmkhya’s school. Once again the yoga is not what you believe.

The path gives you four techniques of Meditation and a practice, the Agya, which possesses three feet in order to be done throughout the day, through your everyday life. There are four degrees of practice according to the place which you want to give to the spirituality in your life, as you seek for a better being or more Conscience or to live under the "sight" of God.

"He who aims at the Liberation must stay in the Holy-Name. He must live quietly, defeat the mind, free of all desires and attachments". [Bhaktimàrga 2-3-42]

Make a living

 Make a living 

For you, what is the purpose of your life ? To have a job ? It is not the purpose of the life, that: to have a job, to make a living ! It is good to have a job, to make a living, but it is not the reason of your birth. The purpose of your life is not to gain it. It would be completely stupid. I have make twenty years of studies, I worked forty years and what ? I have a house and what ? I have twenty or thirty years of life left and I die and what was the purpose of my life ? To have a job? And what do they do those who don’t have one ? 

 

What defines a human being is not his social situation, not his genre, if he is a man or a woman, his type, Berber, Semitic, Indo-European or his religion, his age. A human being is human. What defines him is the life which animes him. 

 

The purpose of the life, this existence which occupies you now, is not to make a living. It is necessary to meet your needs, but it is not the subject of your existence. Why a great majority of people, in our rich countries, are frustrated ? Because the fact of making their living is not enough for them.

The purpose of the life is to live in harmony with a high yearning which comes from this God's part which we have in ourselves, to live in three dimensions: the body, the mental and the soul. The purpose of the life also is to do justice to his Grace, recognizing his omnipresence: "I am alive, I see, I hear, I affect, I smell and feel thanks to you "

To be human  

To give thanks to God can be made by going to pray in a church, a temple or a synagogue. We can also give thanks to God by putting our life in his hands. God wants you to be as he makes you: human beings and a human being is not only a body and a mental, he is also a soul.

Certain peoples, as the Amerindians, considered really human only those who behave as human beings, that means with consciousness. The sign of this consciousness? The respect towards the live in everything ... what was far from being the case of the white men! 

 

God have no favorite ones 

 

We live all in piled strata and those who are in the strata at the bottom feel ashamed. The religion of the consumption invites them in its mass, but they have to remain stay up at the bottom of the shopping mall, to look without receiving communion, for lack of capacity. The majority of the humanity is poor, even in the rich countries. The standard is the poverty.

God have no favorite ones, he does not love Bill Gates more than any untouchable of India, or the Jews more than the atheists. Untouchable Indian is really the prototype of the fact that can be " the commoners ". With us, some named them by this hideous word: "social cases". 

We recognize them: they have cars of twenty years of age, rotted, with blisters of varnish on the body, they are badly dressed and eat ravioli in box that the European surpluses gave to the salavation army. This is the way we recognize them according to those who are not from them and who advocate the liberalism, those there even that replace the word solidarity by assistantship and the word public service by public sector.

We shouldn’t judge people. Who are they to judge? We are all on earth for the same thing: be happy in his Grace. This is the way we make a success of our life. Then if we want to make heaps of things: collect stamps, work in a hospital, comb the neck of the giraffe, be a primary school teacher, lawyer, yes ! We can make it, but it is not the purpose of the life. The purpose of the life you should not neglect it, it should not come in second place. 

 

We are all alike

In certain circumstances we are absolutely equal and if during a few decades our occupations distinguish us, when we are old we are again alike very hardly, in our sufferings, our handicaps and our rich or poor regrets. How to have no regrets when the professional life stops ?

In a palliative care hospital we are equal: a drip is a drip, whether we are rich or poor, in single room or with four beds ! The suffering is the same and the Light also. It is such a pity that during all the life the illusion hid them this truth and that it is necessary to them to wait for the last extremity, while waiting for the following one, to realize it finally! 

 

It is good if we can live in a more comfortable house, drive a car that less often breaks down, be dressed in more becoming clothes, that our children study better and we eat healthier and better well-balanced food. If we can do it, then yes: let us do it! It is not forbidden to be well, but it shouldn’t be the priority of our lives. 

 

Be well inside

In the life, either we are well inside, or we are bad. When we are bad there can be heaps of reasons for that, but to be good, there is a only real reason: it is when we are at his place doing what we have to do. 

 

When we have our spirit based inside this spiritual dimension, named by Jesus Christ Royaume and by others, in India, Satçitananda, we are perfectly happy and at our place. The trick is first to be happy in oneself. There are, apparently, heaps of reasons for being bad, but it is a lie: really, the main reason for being bad is to be not aware. 

 

The way to be happy 

The good it is to be in the bliss, thus if you are not there your are bad, of course, sometimes, the evil is decorated by a good evening, the good moment, a beautiful new car, a fully-equipped kitchen, affection etc. but it is always necessary to run after the satisfactions to be less bad. But why those who have so much money do they need it more and more all the time? Because they run after the well-bing and that the well-bing got by the material things is like heroin: one needs more and more for a less and less good, shorter and shorter flash.

These rich persones make treasures of imagination to find what they could well buy themselves to be happy, as the favors of a minor girl, for some, or a more and more strong drug, for others, or certain privileges, as the valet of luxury hotels or from Fauchon, in Paris, to open them the door of their taxi… The problem is that they confuse the happiness and the satisfaction of their desires. 

The only real way to be happy, in life, is to be able to go to this center of us where reign the Grace of God and that cannot be obtain by the money. This is the life, this is the happiness: you have in you your best friend, the bliss. At the beginning of the practice the bliss is very small and then it grows up and still grows up. Everything is affair of practice.

Bending to drink  

It is like the water of an oasis, in the desert: it is necessary to bend to drink it, it is not going to jump into your throat. And then if you take a thimble to drink, or a soup spoon, a cup, a mustard jar or a beer mug of half a liter, you will not be quenched in the same way. It is the practice: if you are very thirsty you drink a lot, and you are quenched a lot. If you are little thirsty, you drink little and you are quenched in proportion to your thirst. What shouldn’t be done is to drink little while you are very thirsty, it is to wait that the water jumps into your throat. 

 

You have the choice: receive or not his Love. That depends on you. It's useless to think that you are incapable to do it: if we pass three hours saying to ourselves that we cannot go towards God, we make nothing during these three hours. It's useless, just start up. 

 

Living to work ?

En français

Living to work ?

Your life does not bring you everything you expect from it. Certain things seem to you vain, small and petty. Do we work to live or do we live to work? How long of our existence will the professional activity set, finally, on the whole ? And later ? What do we do ?

A deal of fools

Spending all your childhood to prepare your professional life so that this one takes you only a quarter of the total; isn't it a deal of fools ? Working, getting married, making babies, buying a house, preparing your pension and at the end to bow out, here is in summary what the society suggests you to make with your existence.

Without counting all the risks of everyday life, the loss of your employment, the resale of a house which you cannot pay anymore, the divorce, the disease, the mourning, the fire or the flood of your house, its destruction by a tornado where you lose all that you believe to be your life.

You well understand that it is absurd, then ?

What do you do ? Stop working, getting married, making children, bying a house? There are alternative, marginal forms of existence which bring, as the decrease, the community, the monastic life, the charitable implication and so on.

There is also a spiritual search. Some people suspect that the life holds more than what they have seen in it. Those dash into a diligent spiritual research and nowadays, with internet, they have a shortcut: they enter, in their search engine, a keyword, for example spirituality and find thousands of links which lead them to this blog, to others, in forums, books, articles and they don't know what to choose.

The secrets arcanum 

Sometimes someones try to acquire powers, bookish knowledge on the esotericism for an elite. Others look for strong sensations, go out of their body to travel in the astral, as the stalk taken by a hot draft. Still others try to read the akashic records, curious they want any knowledge.

Really these steps have nothing spiritual: the subject of the spirituality is not the knowledge, nor the acquisition of powers countered or paranormal no more than the entry in a sphere of elected representatives, no. The subject of the spirituality is to make that your life is complete and not only on a material plan.

Live in three dimensions  

Living your life on the material plan, where the emotions are a part, is as to live in two dimensions. Living in three dimensions is the spiritual life. The material things, the trees, the animals, the human beings, the rocks, the sky, the sun, the clouds, the vegetables are a part of the spirituality. 

The spirituality is often as a patchwork where everybody finds what he sewed by taking a small piece here and an other one there. It is a self-service. If you want something truer, which is not your invention nor a religion full of prohibitions and dogmae, then the happy spirituality, the original-yoga brings you an answer. Attention the original-yoga is not a yoga as this word is usually used ! Soon I would explain you what the word yoga means.

A spirituality of all the life 

The happy spirituality, or original-yoga, is a spirituality where all which makes the existence, the family, the social and professional life, can be put. No sacrifice is required or even necessary. It is possible to put all your existence in this spiritual life, to do that evrything making your existence becomes spiritual. Instead of letting enter the spirituality to one of the compartments of your filofax, between the meeting with customers and the shopping in the supermarket, you can make that the professional meeting and the shopping be part of your spiritual life.

The spirituality by doing the dishes

Still better: you can make that the crockery, your toilet, the cooking is a part of your spirituality. The spirituality is the whole life and it is possible to laugh there, to like there, to do any sorts of things. The spiritual life is not a succession of difficult asceticisms, which are not natural you. The spiritual life is really a happiness, a Grace.

The intelligence is not forbidden 

In spirituality the intelligence is not forbidden, even if, at certain moments thought is of no utility, as during the seated, deep Meditations. The intelligence, the logic and the science are not the enemies of the spirituality, that is why you will not find, in the happy spirituality, preconceived ideas nor miracles no more than magic.

If you seek to be whole, with the Conscience of this deep nature that is in deep down of you, then be the very welcome and do not hesitate to contact us.
