Guru Swami G - Vajra Nirvana Marg

I've had a hell of a time lately as my normally quiet and unassuming conscience became a persistent annoyance.  A few months ago it began behaving like a five year old following me around incessantly, while repeatedly poking me, as I tried my damnedest to ignore it.  Then, when all patience was lost and my irritation was at its peak, I finally turn...

Listed below are several key phrases which can be used to achieve your desired spiritual status, influence the amount of seekers that follow or admire you, or even to shake people up simply because you still have no idea what any of this silly spiritual babbling is all about. KEY: a) "advanced seeker" status (aka: wise) or Teacher status ...

"Words have no power to impress the mind without the exquisite horror of their reality."
~ Edgar Allan Poe I am frozen in disbelief as I watch a blazing fire consume my home.  Staring in horror, my stomach sinks as I realize that all of my things inside are being extinguished along with it.  The fire is so intense and monstrous that ...

I am often amused at the comments, articles, books and teachings that condemn [attack] those brave [non]souls that [un]proudly declare themselves 'Awake' or 'Enlightened'.  The premise behind these teachings [attacks] follows the concept that: a) there is no "one" in whom 'Awakening' or 'Enlightenment' happens to, and b) everyone is ...

I've noticed lately, or perhaps for a long time (I just can't say for sure), that I do a lot of things that don't make much sense.  Said another way: I do and say a lot of things, which as I watch myself quietly, I can't say I had any conscious plan or purpose to do or say.  For example: this article.  I knew I'd write something, but I am absol...

It's a feeling similar to that of the anticipation and wonder that comes the night before a big event.  One that leaves you almost too anxious to go about your daily routine, while simultaneously preoccupying you with last minute affairs in preparation for the event.  The body seems alive with a steady stream of subtle, but powerful electricity; de...

"If we don't end war, war will end us." ~ H.G. Wells  Turning off the TV after watching Americans celebrate the death of Al-Qaeda’s spiritual leader Osama Bin Laden, I quietly went to check on my sleeping children.  I stood gazing at their peaceful faces as a deep sadness enveloped me.  I silently mourned for their playful innocence and ...

It's been a difficult few months.  However, this difficulty is at a level that I never knew existed before, as it was previously unknown to me.  You see, all is quite fine on the surface.  Life happens; everyday matters are taken care of and all flows with no issues.  Yet, there is a gaping darkness deep within.  This darkness isn't negative in any...

Well, if that title doesn't have a double meaning, I just don't know what would.  Thank you to all the loyal readers that continually come to check for new articles and read past ones.  I've not forgotten about the Blog ... merely forgotten what I was supposed to be writing about. Soooo, I'll dig deep and see what springs forth to share with you l...

The heart is aching in a way too difficult to describe and too deeply to define.  It's an ache clung to by a story which is now unable to turn its gaze from facing its own unreality; pushed by a Love which Knows Its Own Unfathomable Strength.  It's an unrelenting battle; though, it rages far above my understanding and I am only able feel its force ...
