  The concept of the “Self” lies at the core of many spiritual and philosophical traditions. It is often described as the most fundamental aspect of our being, the true essence of who we are. However, the Self is not something we can easily grasp through our usual means of understanding, like thought, perception, or intellect. It transcends our physical, mental, and emotional experiences, yet it is ever-present and underlies all of them. In this chapter, we will explore what the Self is, how it differs from the ego or personality, and why understanding the Self is key to realizing true reality. The Self as Pure Consciousness At its essence, the Self is pure consciousness. It is the awareness that observes all experiences, but it is not limited by or attached to those experiences. It is the unchanging witness of all that arises in life—the thoughts, emotions, sensations, and perceptions we experience daily. To grasp this concept, think about a movie screen.

The Teacher Within - Unveiling the Divine in All Aspects of Life

By Anelly Aya

 

 

In the grand tapestry of life, there exists a sacred wisdom that permeates every corner of existence. It is a divine essence, an inner teacher, quietly whispering its profound lessons to those who are willing to listen. This spiritual force, often overlooked amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life, patiently awaits our awakening and invites us to unveil its profound presence in all aspects of our being.

The journey of discovering this inner teacher begins with a shift in perception—an opening of our hearts and minds to the infinite possibilities that lie within us. It requires us to recognize that spirituality is not confined to temples or religious rituals alone, but rather, it is an all-encompassing force that weaves its magic through every experience we encounter.

In this fast-paced and materialistic world, it is easy to lose sight of the deeper significance of our daily routines. We become so absorbed in the external aspects of our lives that we forget to look inward, to tap into the wellspring of wisdom that resides within us. But it is precisely through these seemingly mundane activities—the chores, the conversations, the moments of solitude—that our inner teacher gently guides us towards profound truths.

Consider the simplicity of washing dishes, for instance. In that seemingly ordinary act, we can find a profound lesson in mindfulness and presence. As we immerse our hands in the soapy water, we can become aware of the sensations, the temperature, the movement of our fingers, and the flow of water. The act of washing dishes can become a meditation, a reminder to be fully present in the here and now, to appreciate the beauty and sacredness of each moment.

Similarly, in our interactions with others, we have the opportunity to discover the divine teacher within. Every encounter becomes an invitation to practice empathy, compassion, and understanding. As we truly listen to another person's story, we open ourselves to their unique perspective, recognizing the interconnectedness of all beings. The teacher within reminds us that we are not separate, but rather, we are all threads woven into the grand tapestry of life.

In nature, the teacher within reveals itself in the awe-inspiring beauty that surrounds us. The gentle sway of a tree's branches, the melodious song of birds, the vibrant colors of a sunset—these are all reminders of the divine presence that permeates every corner of creation. By immersing ourselves in nature, we can reconnect with our true essence, with the profound wisdom that lies within us and all living beings.

Ultimately, unveiling the teacher within requires a commitment to inner exploration and self-discovery. It is a journey that transcends religious dogma and embraces the universal essence of spirituality. By recognizing the divine in all aspects of life, we open ourselves to a deeper understanding of our purpose and our interconnectedness with the cosmos.

So, dear friends, let us embark on this sacred journey together. Let us unveil the teacher within, allowing its wisdom to guide us through the labyrinth of existence. In the quiet moments of solitude, in the bustling chaos of daily life, and in the serenity of nature, may we remember that we are all students of the divine, forever learning and growing on this magnificent path of awakening.

Karma: A Path to Redemption, Healing, and Spiritual Growth

By Anelly Aya
    Karma is a term often shrouded in misconceptions. Frequently perceived as a form of cosmic retribution or a means to exact punishment, karma is often portrayed as a lurking force that deals out slaps for wrongdoings. However, this perspective oversimplifies and distorts the true essence of karma, reducing it to a mere tool of vengeance. In reality, karma is much more profound and compassionate - a mechanism for redemption, healing, and spiritual growth. Rather than being a punitive force, karma offers a sacred opportunity to make amends, clear past missteps, and ultimately return to a state of unity with the Divine. Understanding Karma Beyond Punishment At its core, karma is not about punishment. It does not operate with a vindictive spirit, nor does it seek to inflict harm for the sake of justice. Instead, karma functions as a spiritual mirror, reflecting back to us the energies we have put into the world. These reflections are not meant to condemn but to en...

The Self is the only reality

By Anelly Aya
  "The Self is the only reality that always exists, and in its light, all things are seen. We forget this and direct our attention to the external world. The hall is illuminated whether there are people in it or not, whether they are performing a play or nothing is happening. It is the light that allows us to see the hall, the people, and their performance. We are so absorbed by the objects or phenomena revealed by the light that we fail to pay attention to the light itself. Like the torches in the hall that always burn, the light of Consciousness or the Self is always present—whether in the waking state or the dream state, where things appear, or in deep sleep, where nothing is seen. What we must do is focus on the seer, not the seen, not on the objects, but on the light that reveals them." — Ramana Maharshi.
