Signs of an Evolving soul
D.Ganesan
I started finding phenomenal changes in my way of thinking, approach towards life and living beings, when I compare how I was few years back. Hence this article. Experiences of suffering in nature make you evolve faster than experiences of pleasure. Age is not a very big criteria. Please go ahead and learn what I experienced, “The signs of an evolving soul”.
1. Nothing is so fascinating like unraveling the Universal Truth :
Understanding what existence is and unraveling the truth behind this life will be the most fascinating thing in this world. You would find the routine Tele-serials, Movies, News Stories etc have nothing to offer you and you would find rather least important. You will wonder the sky, stars and the mysteries of nature. You would start loving beauty, nature and you would find a lot of fascinating things around you, not necessarily a travel to Himalayas. The single upper most query in your mind will be “what is Universal Truth?” , “What is the Truth behind this existence?” and so on.
2. You would become a teetotaler:
You will understand the importance of living. You will not be under the grip of any bad habits. Feasts and Dinners will be of less importance. You know that we eat to live and not live to eat. Nothing you would say I am addicted to. Infact you would understand the importance of all living beings that you become a vegetarian and will not be a party to killing animals. You already know that animals are akin to human beings except they posses a less evolved brain than us.
3. Your Ego melts away and Love replaces:
What are we trying to shield and protect? What are arguments? Conflicts will disappear and you would give respect to everyone’s feelings and understand their level of maturity. After all maturity does not come with age alone. You will find that the “You” and the “I” are one and the same consciousness. You would understand Love and you would become Love. Less Talks, Less Arguments, Less Boasting and so on. Leave alone physical assaults, you would not verbally hurt anyone. Praises showered and Scolds bombarded against you make no significance to you. You will be beyond likes and dislikes. You will never be crest fallen or jumping on the top of the world.
4. Death never fears you:
You know that there is nothing to loose in death. And also you will not invite death. You know that death is a bit long sleep. Death is a big refresher along your voyage in the ocean of life. A necessary mechanism to rejuvenate the tired soul. You would be ready to cross the bridge called “Death” when it is called for. No doubt death is a pain for our near and dear, but we can not help it. We have to carry on with our journey. Can’t sit and cry for ever when some of our dearest passes away. No doubt emotions due to death are unavoidable, but you will understand that they will come and they need to go away. After all birth and death are the sides of the same coin.
5. You will Laugh at your Ignorance:
While you evolve there is always a slip between cup and the lip. Looking in to your past you would find that you could have behaved in a better, better way. Now also you may get anger, fear, shout and have some negative attributes; but you would soon realize that you were wrong. Evolving is not a steadfast race. It’s rather one step forward and one yard backwards. Now and then you would like to refine you. Asking apology, Excuses and accepting you mistakes is so simple for you. Exaggeration and lying will be out driven. You would look back the path you have traveled and laugh at your past ignorance and be quick to realize your mistakes. You know that ignorance is the play of Mind and you will not rely on your mind and rather depend you would Psychic Self which is the real core self.
6. You will be happy for no reason:
For being happy there need not be reasons. For being unhappy only needs reason. After all our true nature itself is Happiness, but we are deliberately seeking hundreds of reasons to be unhappy. We have become so much obsessed with unhappiness that we don’t rest until we search and find some unhappiness. It is strange that we are happy to be unhappy so that we may become happy once again. Humor will be embedded to your talks and you would also be cautious not to hurt anyone for the sake of humor. You would talk a few words but humorously.
7. You will know that Material world is not everything:
You know that there are planes to be traveled apart from this Material World. You know that the other planes are fixed unlike this material world which offers dualities. We learn the maximum where dualities exist. We are here to gain the maximum in this material world, so we will make the best use of our life. You will not judge anybody by material worthiness.
8. You would be willing to help without anticipating reciprocation:
You would be willing to help and give whatever best you can offer. After all you are proud to be in a position to offer rather than to extend a stretching hand. You know that you came down empty handed and can leave this world only empty handed. What is the big fuzz in keep on amazing for selfish purpose?
9. You will be True to Consciousness:
It is the worst to cheat your own consciousness. God acts through your consciousness only. Whom are you trying to deceive? You own self? You can never be dishonest towards someone you love. If you are dishonest to your own self you don’t simply love your own self. Before loving others one should try to love one’s own self.
10 . You know that you are the God in the Making:
You know that God is not in the Temple or Church alone. God is everywhere. God is inseparable from you. You understand that you can’t be contained at this stage of evolvement and it is an upward march on the ladder of evolving. You would be a better, better person in the next stage of evolving however a criminal now you are. You know that even those considered as the worst “sinner”, acts out of ignorance only and he would also learn the essence of universal love one day. You would surrender yourself to God so that you can be the instrument for him to act upon. You would like to be alone. You would like to converse with with your Creator in loneliness but keeping cautious enough not to be branded by someone as insane. Your Awareness will increase in manifold. No karma will bind you as you are performing all your activities out of selfless detachment as a mere witness. You know that you are the one and the only unique-you in this entire universe and you know that you are simply great. Being unique is great and you will make the best out of it.
