The more I learn, the more I know,
The more I know,… the more I know I don’t know.
Ya know?
There is a saying in Sanskrit that says:
Neti-Neti… Not this, not that.
In order to deepen one’s understanding of Divinity,
One must engage in a Practice of ‘Self-inquiry’, part of one’s Spiritual Path…
a Sadhana.
Our True Divine Nature seems to be hidden behind
the veils that we create to identify with the
smaller, shallow part of our being…
typically, the ego.
So,
By identifying anything that we know to not be true,
we can get closer and closer to what is an ‘absolute Truth’.
Through a direct personal connection to more and more ‘absolute Truths’,
We can learn the Divine wordless Wisdoms…
experientially.
Start off simple…
You know you are not one of your fingers…
We can lose a finger and be ‘us’.
We can lose a hand, an arm, a leg…
But “we” are still here.
Likewise,
We are not our heart, even though, symbolically,
The heart is where our compassion comes from,
Yet that’s not our True Ultimate ‘Self’.
We are not our brain…
even though it is vitally important in this ‘here & now’…
We are not our body ether, however much our ego demands us
to feel like we are this separate ‘self’.
Everybody knows that when we die,
the body does not go wherever it is “we” go.
Be weary of religions that tell you that when you die,
You get a heavenly body just like the one you’re wearing right now.
This is a disastrous distraction to one’s Spiritual Path.
Most people don’t really like this current body and
the thought of being stuck with it forever and beyond eternity
would seem like hell… not the “promise land”.
As good as their intentions seem to be to them…
Recall the Christian saying… that:
“the road to hell is paved with good intentions”.
The deeper one strides along one’s personal Path of Spiritual Wisdoms,
The more obvious all the misleading aspects most organized religions demand upon their followers.
When on a Spiritual Path towards
the inherent and ineffable Divinity of our True Nature…
the very nature of this goal is ineffable…
it is beyond words.
When a religion tells you that they know the absolute Truth
which only they can indoctrinate you with, and also say
you can read about it through their instructions and know it yourself…
They are only distracting you from seeking your own Divinity,
experientially.
Words at best, can only point one ‘toward’ the experience of Divinity,
Inspiring words are a great asset, along with spiritual philosophies and how
to mindfully be present each moment of our days…
But,
At some point, the words, the books, and scriptures need to be laid aside
and a deep personal inquiry of our True Self,
a contemplation of the wordless Wisdoms
that bring spiritual knowledge…
experientially.
If one is truly interested in deepening their connection to Divinity.
One must realize that such an ineffable pursuit
can’t just be understood by blindly taking someone else’s word for it,
One can only know these Wisdoms…
Experientially.
