Spiritual friends who spent a lot of time in solitude, as well as accessing the energy of silence know, there are a lot of contradictions inside ourselves. Right against wrong. Religion against science. Logic against feeling. And there are many other contradictions.

The harder one resist these contradictions, especially when seekers called those contradictions as bad under the name of religion and knowledge, there are more burning fire inside. Some of psychological and spiritual illness are rooted here in the burning contradictions within.

When we dig deeper, these contradictions arise because the materials that make the body, the the mind, the emotion are in contradictions. In the human body there are elements of water and fire. The mind can only work if there is duality such as bad-good, wrong-right, false-true. In the same way, emotions also grow riding the waves like sad-glad, sorrow-joy, ugly-beauty.

That's the reason why every human being who live in the level of body, mind, emotion, their life are full of waves. Their waves of life rise when they are glad, their waves of life fall when they are sad. Whenever they are joyful, they celebrate. In the moment when life is full of sorrow, they thought they are punished.

Beautiful Heart

A number of friends who are entrepreneurs complain that there are many business opportunities actually, but it is very difficult to find people who can be trusted to be able to lead the company. As a result, many business opportunities simply pass solely because of the scarcity of well-trusted people.

This story implicitly bring a simple message, in this age to find clever people is easy. There are abundant supply of clever people everywhere. But when it comes to find person with beautiful heart, there are saddening scarcity everywhere. Especially those who are beautiful in service, beautiful in attitude, beautiful in deeds.

Hearing a story like this, a teenager asks: "what is beautiful heart?". Look deeply inside when you know that your old friends who like to cheat in school later is appointed as professor, if you can smile without envy, that is a seed of beautiful heart.

Meeting The Light

After reading the article "Meeting The True Guru" a young man asked a very touching question like this: "If The True Guru only illuminate souls with abundance accumulation of good karma, then who will illuminate the dark souls who are full of shortcomings?".

To be honest, in each cycle of time there is light. Unfortunately, many people obscure themselves by many clouds. Consequently, they keep thinking that no one illuminate their soul. Similar to the light in nature. During the day there is the sun. During the night there are stars and moon.

In Tantra especially, there are three types of clouds which obscure souls to meet the light. There are external clouds such as body, mind and emotions. There are inner clouds which is known as nadi (energy channels), prana (energy), bindu (the essence). And the last one is the inner most secret clouds which is dualistic fixation.

Meeting The True Guru

It is impossible to see the sun at night. It is also impossible to see the stars in the daytime. In the same way, without the abundant accumulation of merits (good karma), it is impossible to meet the true Guru. For that reason, there is no other choice for the true seekers except to accumulate as many good karma as possible.

That is why religions strongly emphasize the importance of kindness and goodness. Mainly because this abundant accumulation of merits will point out the direction where the true Guru live. There are many spiritual signs that indicating where the true Guru is.

Those who experience weak signs are interested in the true Guru through reading, stories that are shared by many people, or meaningful coincidences. Spiritual seekers who experience medium signs encounter the true Guru because of the strong inner determination, or the strong inner feeling that this is the right time to meet the true Guru.
