Inner Meaning

The search for inner meaning is an inverse process. In order to get to a place of inner meaning, first we must strip all meaning from our lives. The search for Truth is an inverse process. In order to get to something, we must first get to nothing. It is in the stillness of nothing that everything becomes clear.

The reason for this is that reality is not known to us, largely it is unknown. We have assumed a particular reality from our parents, and they from their parents, and so the cycle continues. Many of our learned behaviours, ways of thinking and being, do not serve us and our destiny. We have consciously, subconsciously and unconsciously put meaning into things that have no meaning in reality, and have put no meaning into things that have all meaning in reality.

Therefore, in order to come to knowing what serves us or not, where we should place meaning or not, we must elevate our mind to a place in which we can see clearly. This means reversing everything we have ever done until nothing is left. No thoughts. No ideas. No concepts. No meaning. In that nothingness, we can see reality and our part in that reality very clearly and therefore can begin to rebuild our lives, habits and ways of being to serve us towards our destiny, and to put meaning into things than matter and strip it from things that don’t matter.

This all sounds very philosophical, but I am a practical man, so what does this mean in day-to-day down-to-earth language? Well, firstly we must look at our lives in some way, some new way. Let’s start with one basic of all life: relationships. Think of someone you hate. Now ask yourself, what makes you hate that person? Contemplate this for a while. Now think that actually, its not that you hate them, its that you hate yourself in some way. Contemplate the gap there is in you which is making you see that you hate another person. As you continue to go within yourself to find the answer, the entire universe will also start teaching you about this small aspect of yourself. The universe will begin to create situations in your life in which you can uncover and let go of this gap. As you left go of this aspect that doesn’t serve you, new opportunities open up for you. Just as something goes, something else comes. And now you can see that from something so small, something so profound can come about. This is the process of finding inner meaning.

In this new blog, I intend to write about many aspects of Sikh Dharma, Meditation, Kundalini Yoga, Spirituality, Philosophy, God, Oneness of Religion, Spiritual Stories and Applications of Spirituality in everyday life.
