Experiencing Brahman Consciousness
How to explain the unexplainable of becoming one and nothing. There are perhaps a million words and verses and this is why the vedas exist, to give you a repeated glimpse so that you may plant the seed and reach the goal of your existence. If not in this lifetime perhaps the next. This is why we exist all the time. I am everything and everything is me is the experience of becoming one. Manifesting at will, knowing, seeing, experiencing and expecting nothing...just as described below. How do I know because I am and have become as one, Brahman. I am at the seat of my own movie directing, playing the lead, editing and becoming all that is. THIS IS BRAHMAN.
"Brahman" is a sanskrit word derived from the root "brah" which means greatness, and is applicable to all objects which have the quality of greatness. In specific "brah" applies to that object which by nature and qualities possesses this greatness to an infinite degree. Therefore, the word "Brahman" denotes that supreme Person who is the abode of all auspicious qualities to an infinite degree. Hence, knowledge and realization of Brahman is the supreme achievement.
In Brahman Consciousness the individual mind is completely absorbed into the Mind of Lord Brahma, like a tiny bubble floating within a vast calm lake. Inside the bubble resides the completely crystal clear ego of the person in Brahman Consciousness. He or she can appreciate without restriction the entire range of intelligence and knowledge that is contained in the Mind of Lord Brahma. Anything may be known to him and will be known by him at the exact appropriate time.
His mind is completely silent - witnessing the glory of Lord Brahma as a child watching a delightful fairy tale unfold. He expects nothing, wants nothing, thinks about nothing and remembers nothing. He simply witnesses the world around him in childlike innocence because everything is a completely new and fresh experience for him, every minute of every day - 24 hours a day.
He is completely above fear and doubt - unshakable in the knowledge that nothing in the universe is foreign to him or can possibly harm him. He has nothing to do at all and spends his time reacting to others and the environment. Whatever he may do in response to the environment is loving and supporting to everyone he touches, however he does not plan it this way - it is just the spontaneous result of his action.
Occasionally, a thought may arise in his mind, but it is not his thought and he clearly knows this. He has completely stopped thinking altogether, so when a thought does arise he immediately welcomes it as Lord Brahma's thought and he appreciates it completely, understanding it totally, immediately and without distortion. Often, he just takes action without thought or at least without appreciating that he had a thought, moving and acting as if Lord Brahma Himself was moving his body or speaking through his mouth. He feels like a sort of robot or mechanical man that someone else is moving, like a puppet.
Whatever his body does, he watches and is surprised and delighted by the play. He views his body as the puppet or robot of Lord Brahma - it is not even his body. If Lord Brahma wants to feed and clothe this body, he watches and enjoys the play. If Lord Brahma wants to rest the body, he watches and enjoys the resting of the body.
He feels like a passenger, not the driver and certainly not the owner of the body. He knows that at any moment Lord Brahma may move him into a different body for the benefit of that perspective. He has forgotten what it was like to be a "normal human being" full of anxiety, doubts, fears, ambitions, goals, desires, pains, weaknesses, struggle, unhappiness, happiness, frustrations, anger, disappointments, etc. Life is very simple now - it is easy to feel the bliss that is life and that bliss is sufficient for him, he wants nothing else, he cannot even make himself desire anything. After all, he is floating in bliss 24 hours a day and knows it will never end.
