A huge tidal wave is building up in spirituality this year.
Some 300 spiritual organisations are coming together in a rare confluence at Kanha Shanti Vanam next week - 14-17 March 2024 - for integrating their efforts at the spiritual evolution of humanity. Details athttps://www.globalspiritualitymahotsav.org
Daaji, the Guide of Heartfulness - the hosting organisation, is both a visionary as well as highly detail-oriented. Should you wish to really delve into spirituality, there is no better guide to support your inward journey.
He is also making jivanmukti a reality. Not siddhi or superhero aspects, but evolving - or devolving - from animal man to humane man and beyond. Shifting from thinking, worrying, and praying to remove life's problems to handling any problem thrown at you with courage and confidence, in your own Self within.
Daaji is not merely a paarasmaNi - a philosopher's stone - of spirituality, but someone who makes others into paarasmaNis. That idea, and its scope, is itself awe-inspiring, but the speed and systematic way he is making it happen is astounding.
His project and organisation are far beyond outmoded parochialism and religion. It is a true revolution in sadhana because the onus and the controls are entirely in the hands, mind, and heart of the practitioner. But the real support is also entirely inner so you have to experience and learn something totally different - a communication language devoid of words and images. Something to be experienced, not explained.
Becoming conscious of your inner self is not trivial, but because it only involves a change in mental priority, neither is it difficult. If anything, the difficulty lies in letting go of familiar complexities to reach unfamiliar, though elegant, simplicity.
But the elegance will reveal itself only when you relinquish more and more. Not consciously, merely by not recreating your conditioning when its past residues slough away naturally - through your daily sadhana.
If you are seriously practising a spiritual method, you don't have to change anything. Just share your peace and joy with others - anonymously. Mentally.

But if you, like many human beings, have only wondered about mystics and mystical experiences, now is the time to start practising.
Or to renew your practice, enthusiastically, if you are doing so desultorily.
Practise - not to achieve those exalted states, but to reveal their existence and wonder at the eternal beauty, peace, and joy within.
Within yourself.
