THE ILLUMINATION

 

Imagine that life is like a voyage on the sea, in which you meet different people, varied pleasant and stormy situations, when you return to port you bring back memories and experiences that have transformed you into an experienced person.

With this analogy observe that when a ship runs the risk of sinring during a storm, you throw the ballast so that the ship continues floats, then you repair the demage of the ship and the motor to continue the trip.

Humans accumulate during their life much ballast that prevents them to travel with happiness, they should throw away their resentments, hate, arrogance, ego, envy, critizisim, avarice, selfishness, arrogance, fanaticism and bad memories. Then they should repair their body (the ship) and their mind (the motor), so that the spirit (the passenger) returns happy to port.

To repair your body, eliminate bad habits, ration the pleasures of the sex, food and liquor, remember that everything in excess is harmfull, it reduces to the minimum the consumption of red meat and eliminate fats, increase the consumption of salads, fruits and cereals. Once you have learned how to eat healthy and rationally you will be able to fast voluntarily once week or a month.

Repair your mind controlling your thoughts, the mind is like a mischievous and restless boy difficult to control, educate your mind to that this with you and not travel without control, remember that where your mind is so are you . Order your mind to be quiet and stay in blank, when you learn how to put your mind in silence, you will be able to meditate with success.

Now read this example:

Life is like a competition of questions and answers, in which you accumulate points to your favor (Dharma) or you accumulate points against (Kharma), at the end of the road you will be the judge and nobody else will evaluate you.

In this competition you should fight to leave victorious, they will be easy questions and other difficult ones. In each problem that you have in the life find an answer, when you do not know your test, have the humility to look for help to find the correct answer.

In each question / problem you are developing a virtue, find your gifts or abilities and use them since they are the tools that you have chosen to triumph.

I want to give you another example:

Imagine that you are a worm that only know how to crawl but with desires to learn how to walk, then with time and experiences observe that in their interior there is a wonderful being that will not need to walk since they will be able to fly like a beautiful butterfly.

Understand that you can fly if you propose it to yourself, discover inside yourself the great energy that you have and that up to now you have not taken advantage, observe the time that you have lost in useless things do not worry because it is never late, do not look backwards and live with spiritual fullness.

It is necessary to have an ordered life, personally, labor and affective, controls your mind and your heart, take life, calmly and with patience. While repairing your body and mind allows you to be spiritual. After having achieved the spiritual evolution you are ready for your illumination.

Your illumination will be noticed when you face problems and discover the learning that you achieve from that experience and which is the gift that is on test: patience, humility, tolerance, your mind will only pass good thoughts and brilliant reflections. Did you begin to say how have I lost so much time? And you will begin to look for interesting books and different to those that you were accustomed to read. Your mind will transform dreams from the memories to the awakening of the time present it allows to perceive the messages that you receive deservedly from the Cosmos.

When concluding the voyage in this life and return to the departure port, you will feel the happiness of having fulfilled your spirit.

"Every time that an imbalance situation happens in your lives, as begun in the path you should see her like an opportunity of the present to correct a not well last one. It is this way like the Karma is liquidated. ˇNow the life becomes a challenge!"
