What happens once you experience the inner Shunya State?
admin Staff answered 4 days ago
The inner serenity you experience brings peace and contentment.
This sense of peace arises when you’ve resolved all loose ends with the world (Sansar).
It’s a remarkable insight that the ego, which you’ve been striving to eliminate, disappears.
What does this mean?
It means the ego was created (by you, of course) solely to navigate the world and gain something from it.
When you realize that everything and everyone you once thought belonged to you never truly did, and they won’t belong to you in the future either, a profound shift occurs.
This understanding of the fleeting nature of “ownership” liberates you from desire. You then discover that this state of desirelessness also leads to an ego-less existence.
This transformation results in profound peace and contentment.
In this space, wonderful qualities emerge: love, compassion, friendship, wisdom, and more.
These qualities thrive only in a non-dual, egoless state, as they lack opposites.
This unconditional love for all can never turn into hatred.
The same holds true for compassion and friendship.
These are the true gifts of consciousness, not products of the world or the ego.
It is not easy to “get rid” of desires.
It is a lot easier to settle down in the serenity of your true self; then, desires evaporate by themselves.
You may live a lifetime eliminating your desires, but self-realization will not happen.
Trying to get rid of the desires is also a desire.
You should recognize this and intensify your sadhana to find your true self; it will become much more effortless.
Desires are just aberrations of pure consciousness, arising out of our ignorance.
When ignorance is recognized, the aberrations subside into pure consciousness, bringing serenity within.
Realize and stay in the enjoyment of the self (Nij Anand), and life becomes complete.
