The Banyan Tree


Beginning my first blog, here is a quote
from the Acharya Mahaprajna:


“Perceive the souls through the soul and you will become the Supreme Soul . . .
There are two sides of the consciousness: the soul and the Supreme Soul . . .
One the seed and the other, entirety. 
You must have seen how small the seed of the banyan tree is.
You must also have seen how expansive the tree is.
It is difficult to even imagine that such a small seed can become so big.
The soul is the seed of a banyan tree and the Supreme Soul its development.”

This blog is dedicated to the notion that by virtue of our being alive, we are all simultaneously both the soul (or self), and the Supreme Soul, our truest nature.  Most of, however, have been brainwashed through our upbringing into a trance that does not recognize our True Identity as The All.  We are deluded into thinking we are each a separate self, when we are truly more than just connected to each other, but are that in actuality the Same One Being.

Our entire lives beomce adventures in the process of removing these blinders, and Realizing who we Truly Are.  Each of us has our own Path toward this realization, which may be sudden, gradual, or as in most cases, a combination of both sudden glimpses (in States) and gradual understanding and realization (in Stages).

The most basic and noticeable element of Realization, which is constantly slipping into our awareness is that of Love!  Our experience of Love toward All is one of the most powerful of the many clues that brings us to the Truth.

May all be Blessed with the Greatest of  Compassion!!!

"For I reckon the sufferings of the present time are not worthy to be compared to the glory that which shall be revealed within us ."
