My Book Summary
I share my journey of Sadhana in this book through different stages of realizations that I have experienced. My life so far which has been a journey of collected insightful experiences which changed my way of being and living.
From being on Marghat for long hours to roaming naked in the cold breeze of Ladakh, I had some very peculiar and strong experiences. All these profound experiences were life altering in itself. I found my myself sitting and meditating for 5-6 hours so many times without having any track of time. I met so many angels in this journey from all over the world who were on the same path as mine and also started working as Masaan. Whenever and wherever I met those angels, we used to meditate, spend a powerful time together and felt a certain connection of knowing each other since ages.
All these experiences were so strange and powerful that sometimes I’m not even able to put it in words. For the very first time I could see this world as one and full of compassion. Some of the experiences also allowed me to see all behaviors of the mind and body from a distance while meditating. My sadhana gave me a lot of such experiences and also this understanding that it’s all mind and body and not me. What is right what is not, what is good and what is not, all these parameters were not created by me but my surroundings. It was the conditioning that was imposed on me by my environment.
After coming back home in a very long time I was very quiet all the time and did not talk at all for about 3 weeks. My parents became a little nervous because of my behavior, I was all over a new person who came back. Because I realized it is not me who wants to talk but my mind, it is not me who has desires but my mind. I could really see it. All of this left a huge impact on my being and this transformation was groundbreaking.
This book expresses the strong realizations and awakening experiences that have been through me in the form of poetries written by me. It can liberate from the sufferings one goes through and inspire to meditate in order to understand the mind and body which is actually not us.
A reminder that life is not a suffering but an opportunity to end all the suffering and to live every second with utmost joy and peace. And at the same time a question which is not WHO AM I? but the real question is AM I ME? I really wish from the bottom of my heart that this opens a new universe for you where you see everything with transparency.
