True Essence of Spirituality

 True Essence of Spirituality

The true essence of spirituality is realizing that I need not know anything.

That I am already full and complete; and there is nothing to add.

What this means is that what all we try to learn will be an additional information and creates identities which unknowingly transform into entanglements. We have to let go these identities and entanglements. 

People might feel that "letting go" is very difficult. In fact it is not so. Because, each and every one of us have become experts in letting go that we are in reality Spirit. Hence, what we have to let go is the misidentification that we are not Spirit.

This is what the essence of the spirituality is. Let go the misidentification that we are not Spirit and lo behold that each and every one of us is already that Spirit.

Today being a festival of Ganesh Chaturthi a little bit on the true essence of the festival:

Ganesha is called as gaja vadana  (elephant headed) meaning:

• gaja: opposite of jaga - the world. Interiorize!
• vadana: face. In the interiorized face there is a space that shows the awareness and the empty space of Nothingness.
• chaturthi - being beyond the four realms of jagrat, swapna, sushupti and turiya

Hence, this festival is in reality an invitation to stop everything in the external world and go within and beyond the four states of wakefulness, dream, deep sleep, turiya and enter that realm of eternal Nothingness and in the awareness of Spirit.
