Self-realization is the ultimate benefit of Spiritual Thinking.
God, Divine Mind, and Brahman created man in His image and likeness. He also gave the man an independent mind to think and act independently. Whereas God, Brahman, is the creator and cause and effect of everything happening in this universe, one of the unintended consequences of God’s creation was an unfettered ego that the human mind depends on. The ego, which is referred to in the Upanishads as ‘AHAM,” is precisely the opposite of ‘OM’ which is the Power that protects us 24/7 and is referred to as Christ, Atman, or inner self that is constantly guiding us in the right direction for having peace and harmony all the time. The ego, or AHAM, on the other hand, is constantly makes the man think of himself as the supreme power and develops all undesirable qualities such as pride, hate, and a feeling of superiority over other human beings, which leads to fascism, racism, casteism, etc. Since the ego is derived from the human brain, it has limitations of intelligence, patience, anger, etc. Conquering the ego is the challenge that God, Divine Mind, and Brahman to all his creations as humans. The only way to beat the Ego is to understand that there is only one reality, God, Divine Mind, Brahman. This supreme power is present in each of us all the time to help us. By constant affirmations of one Truth or Reality and prayers, we can keep reinforcing the only Truth; the Ego starts melting away and opening the continuous communication of human thoughts with the Divine Mind. As this communication channel becomes a superhighway, our actions also start reflecting that high speed communication, and we start behaving in the image that God created us. This should be the ultimate goal and purpose of each human being. Adi Sankara, the greatest exponent of Upanishads, calls this the Advaita Vedanta and is the only pathway to salvation or Moksha not to be caught up in the birth-death cycles. This state of consciousness of this ingrained Truth is called the Self Realization. While the societies which emphasize and thrust all illusions and unrealities on us each day, such as poverty, sickness, hunger, greed, disparity, wars, etc., to keep the economy running at the cost of spirituality results ultimately in pandemics, mental illnesses, depression, addiction, etc. which are manifestations of unrealities. If we want to be free of these false manifestations and enjoy peace, harmony, and happiness, we will have to destroy the sources of these illusions, which can be done only by affirmations of Truth and constant prayer, and keep unclogging the channel of communication between the human thoughts and the Divine Mind. An automatic benefit of these affirmations and continuous prayer will be self-realization. Self Realization opens us to achieve salvation which, however, is bestowed only by God. In conclusion, Self Realization is the ultimate benefit of spiritual thinking. An earlier post covers ‘Affirmations and prayers for Divine Mind synchronization.
