Query: I
have been also through a spiritual journey. I read a book of osho. While reading the book i went into
nirvikalpa samadhi. But after coming from it mentally I became very weak. I went to phsyciatrist also. May i
know the reason. Is it possible for me to go into sahaja samadhi once again?
Vijay Kumar:
If I am traveling from Dehradun to Jaipur and pass via New Delhi... does
it mean I have seen New Delhi. Every human being at different moments of time travels the spiritual path but
only momentarily. Most do it inherently never knowing why it so happens! Most human beings on Mother Earth
fear traveling the spiritual path voluntarily! Why?
As understood by the masses... the spiritual path takes one away from
worldly life! Dominated by the ego within, the wanton desires and greed for materialistic riches most human
beings on Mother Earth never desire traveling the spiritual path! For them the spiritual path only belongs to
fools... those who simply shun family life!
The truth is not so. Traveling the uncharted path of spirituality
requires grit and patience of the highest order! Standing on the first floor of the Empire State building we
simply cannot view the whole of New York. If we truly desire seeing the whole of New York... we indeed travel
to the highest floor and for that we need to tread the elevator!
In the spiritual world... the elevator stands for awakening of the
Kundalini! It is only through the path of Kundalini one scales higher brackets in spiritual life! The
awakening of the Kundalini becomes possible by practicing absolute celibacy for a minimum period of 12 years
in continuation.
In the last about 150 years only two persons amongst 6500 million people
living on Mother Earth reached the level of Nirvikalpa Samadhi... they were Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and
Maharishi Ramana! Reaching the stage of Nirvikalpa Samadhi is not that easy as we contemplate.
For temporal moments yes, many human beings gain access to the world of
Nirvikalpa Samadhi! It is only a fleeting moment in the life of human beings! For gaining permanent access to
Nirvikalpa Samadhi... for reaching the stage of Nirvikalpa Samadhi permanently... one indeed needs reaching
the stage of enlightenment (kaivalya jnana)!
Gaining enlightenment is reaching the stage of Nirvikalpa Samadhi when
one can have a dialogue with God Almighty on one-to-one basis and that too permanently! Reaching the stage of
Nirvikalpa Samadhi means reaching the stage of nothingness! When everything in the Cosmos gets negated
through the path of Neti (not this, not this)... what remains is God Almighty himself!
Reaching the stage of Nirvikalpa Samadhi demands our removing all the
dross impurities within the soul atman. This becomes possible when we travel the path of absolute
truthfulness and all the time. Simultaneously practicing absolute celibacy for a minimum period of 12 years
in continuation is an essential must.
The Shahastra Pushpa (the thousand petalled lotus) within the brain that
exists behind our forehead opens up only when Kundalini awakens fully... never otherwise! The moment this
happens one finally gains enlightenment... becomes omniscient for all practical purposes! Reaching the stage
of Nirvikalpa Samadhi means our soul atman having gained absolute purity!
Devoid of all dross impurities within... the liberated soul atman finally
regains its original pure pristine form. Having transgressed worldly life (aka Samsara in Hinduism) the
liberated soul atman finally gains access to the kingdom of God (aka Vaikuntha in Hinduism). If we desire
having glimpses of the spiritual world momentarily... we can indulge in anything spiritual!
It is gaining permanent access to the world of God that means something!
Reaching the stage of Nirvikalpa Samadhi permanently is the essence of life! One finally reaches the last leg
of cosmic life... the 8.4 millionth manifestation! Having reached the stage of Nirvikalpa Samadhi... one
finally gains salvation (moksha) forever!
Traveling the spiritual path has its merits and also demerits! On the
physical front one may feel low... feel totally demoralized... out of energy... scared and what not!
Traveling the spiritual path means scaling very high mental frequencies that sometimes drains our energy as a
physical manifest being!
In the spiritual world it is only the stage of Nirvikalpa Samadhi that
matters! As in Jainism... the entire Jainism philosophy was presented to mankind by Mahavira... the 24
Tirthankara of Jainism! Jainism is best recognized by Mahavira alone! The teachings of the earlier 23
tirthankaras never reached the masses... it was limited to the individual self alone!
Every form of Yoga meditation leads one towards the stage of Nirvikalpa
Samadhi! We need to have a permanent goal in life... what ultimately do we desire out of life in the present
physical manifest form? In absence of an ultimate goal of life our life is like a rudderless boat going round
and round in the ocean! Having intermittent glimpses of the spiritual world carries no meaning.
Either we dwell in the physical manifest world or become a spiritual
traveler forever! We definitely need to decide our goal of life. Having a goal in life is journey half
covered! Every serious seeker of spirituality who reaches the end of journey always had a distinct goal in
life... come face-to-face with God Almighty in this very life!
Swami Vivekananda... the famous disciple of Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa
never gained enlightenment in his lifetime. Why? He never wanted to... when Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa asked
about his goal of life... he was absolutely clear in his statement. He replied community service was the goal
of his life... he was truly never after self realization in his lifetime!
Traveling the path of absolute truthfulness most human beings have
momentary glimpses of the spiritual world! Who knows what we shall be in the next manifestation... why not
travel the spiritual path now! I again repeat... do not hanker after momentary glimpses of the spiritual
world... indulge and thy shall reach stage of enlightenment and salvation!
Never fear any experience on the spiritual path! Experiences vary with
individuals! Whatever may be experienced by you may differ with the experience of others. In the spiritual
world... there is nothing to fear at all! During the stage of awakening of the Kundalini... facing the many
hooded black cobra is most scary yet, we all have to go through the experience!
At no stage of life we need to see a psychiatrist or any other spiritual
healer! In my own case I had to visit psychiatrists on insistence of my father. I very well knew within my
own heart... I was always right... pursuing the right path! But my parents thought otherwise. For them
traveling the spiritual path means losing their son in worldly life!
Whatever circumstances are... never visit a doctor or a psychiatrist for
they do not know anything of the spiritual world! Whenever I explained my experiences to any doctor... their
face kept blank. Traveling the uncharted path of spirituality is different for every human being. As many
human beings... as many paths to spirituality... as many paths to God can there be!

Full text of query: I have been also through a spiritual journey.
I read a book of osho. While reading the book i went into nirvikalpa samadhi. But after coming from it
mentally i became very weak. i went to phsyciatrist also. May i know the reason.
Later i read a book of nissargdatta maharaj, And i went into sahaja
samadhi (Spontaneous state). Previously i was aware that once a person enters into sahaja samadhi he can't
ever come back to the mundane world. But one day i came out of this superconsious state. Can i know the
reason. Is it possible for me to go into sahaja samadhi once again?
