One should live in this world with the mindset of a servant, sent by God to serve. By considering oneself a vessel for God's work, every act of service transforms into an offering of surrender. This perspective elevates daily duties into spiritual practice. If one truly embraces the belief that they are here solely to fulfill God's designated tasks, then life becomes lighter, free from arrogance and pride.
The world is akin to an ashram, a place where no one truly belongs to anyone. Attaching oneself to others, or clinging to the belief that someone is "mine," only brings suffering, misery, and pain. The feeling of "me" or "mine" is the root cause of these sorrows. The sooner one realizes that nothing in this world truly belongs to them, the better. By understanding that our purpose here is to carry out the divine assignments entrusted to us, the mind becomes unburdened and humility naturally arises.
When one lives a righteous life, the mind itself reveals the truth: we arrive alone in this world, and our highest duty is to serve everyone in it, as it is God’s creation. Service is the essence of Dharma (religion).
The mind, the principal force within the body, tends to scatter unless properly aligned. Its seat is located in the Ajna (Aagya) Chakra. In moments of turbulence, simply remembering this higher truth can guide us to the right path. While living in this world, one cannot escape the inherent difficulties—what might be called life's "poison." To process this poison, one must seek the state of Shivatwa (the essence of Shiva). To attain the proper state of mind, one should practice Kriya Yoga with dedication. Only then will divine messages flow easily, reaching the higher consciousness effortlessly. Keeping the mind pure by shedding arrogance and ego is essential for this divine connection.
A person caught in Maya (illusion) becomes ensnared by the ups and downs, the dualities of worldly life. Maya represents the energy of illusion. However, when Kundalini energy ascends and stabilizes in the highest centers of the brain (the Sahasrara), profound peace descends upon the individual. This state is described through the concepts of Mahamaya and Yogmaya, with Kutastha being the meeting point of the two. Mahamaya governs the lower energies, while Yogmaya extends from the Ajna Chakra to the Sahasrara Chakra. When the mind becomes exceptionally subtle, the fusion of Nirguna (the formless divine) and Saguna (the divine with form) occurs.
The attachment we feel toward our loved ones is not Maya. Rather, it is the doubt about God's existence that represents true illusion. Once this doubt is eradicated, the resulting state is Samadhi (union with the divine).
