One decision can change our life. | Philosia: The Art of seeing all
One decision can change our life, and we are always just one step away from our Reality or Truth within.
Whenever we take a decision, the world gets divided into two parts for us by that decision. One that we know because it is part of our decision and hence we are living it. The second one which we would have known had we decided against it. In this way our decisions keep limiting us to a smaller world. And if all our decisions prove to be right towards the direction of spirituality then we attain enlightenment. I call this experience of self-knowledge as Philosia.
During the Philosia moment we experience as if we had taken all the decisions that we did not take and whatever life we would have lived, and then what would have been the world for us, all those worlds are visible to us together. That is the meaning of ‘The art of seeing all’.
My message is about inner journey of human being, because many think that we have come a long way in a sinful life and now it is not good to take a U-Turn so they keep moving as before. But actually the one who is a sinner is sure going to think such because one cannot do it for whole life!
So if this article lit a lamp of Hope in their heart that there is no delay and no one has gone far away from god!
God is just one decision away, and he is eagerly waiting that you take this decision. If we take one step in his direction then God takes ten steps for such an innocent person, who is ready to accept their mistakes.
This also means that whenever Osho met a person, Osho knew that this person was living his life by taking at least one wrong decision. So Osho used to suggest to them to take sannyas. And if he takes a right decision now i.e. becomes his disciple then it is possible that he will attain enlightenment in his presence. But even after becoming a disciple, if someone asked him a question after living with him for years, what do you think about us?
Osho used to reply that your life is no more than a joke. This is because after taking a right decision, they started taking wrong decisions again. Whatever Osho might be suggesting to them to try, and they might not be experimenting those suggestions. Instead they started collecting knowledge from lectures of Osho. While Osho says that Knowledge acts as a barrier for wonder and revelation of mystery. It would have been better if he had stayed in the world, instead of expecting a miracle like automatic change or transformation just being in presence of Osho.
I have also experienced that the experience of enlightenment is like our body turning into a photon for a moment. Because after that the distance of time and space ends. And that is why after enlightenment we start seeing clearly all the worlds we have lived together.
My suggestions:-
Awareness Meditation is the way worked for me and I tried it first during brushing my teeth in the morning after trying 8–10 meditations over period of 15 years! So there is no need to reinvent the circle for you. May be you too find it suitable otherwise with Dynamic meditation and/or Kundalini in the evening it is suitable for most of the people. There are 110 other meditation techniques discovered by Indian Mystic Gorakhnath about 500years before and further modified by Osho for contemporary people that one can experiment and the suitable one could be practiced in routine life.
