If no one holds your hand when life comes to you as a gigantic monster with all its habitual roar of laughter, shuddering your presence, making you frightened with all its scary tentacles and sniffing at you with a sadistic pleasure, let me assure you dear that this is not the moment to be disheartened, rather this is the ideal hour to stand for your ground; stand with all your strength, within and feel your presence with that everlasting grace that every time you wear on your face, named as `smile`! On a very first place, you may startle a bit, may think how it`s possible to make your ground, while that scary monster all the time is knocking at your door and making you feel that you`re nothing, but only a helpless creature to survive in this world of existence.
But if you probe deeper into this matter, quite gradually you may start to feel that this devil is everywhere, possibly at every corner of our surroundings. Moreover, all the time It`s trying to spread its tentacles, making us frightened at every moment with all its habitual, lustful glee. Sometimes in an invisible way, sometimes with all its venomous tentacles in the names of envy, jealousy, anxiety, stress, betrayal and revenge! Just to name only a few! The list may be longer enough. But here, I don`t feel that much need to pull it a bit longer. As in spite of that devil within our unconscious, we also have our security code, named as `smile`, always lurking on our face, not only to give that signature mark to our face value, but also to make us feel that we also have a special power, within not only to sustain, but to live with all our zeal, with all our eternal fragrance!
Devil is no one, but the projection of your own unconscious:
In this section, I would like to tell you that this devil, you`re scared of is just no one and cannot do any harm on you without your concern. But the more you get involved into the thoughts of negativities, the more you may welcome this devil and the more it may spread its venomous tentacles towards your existence, frightening you a lot, making you feel unnerved and ultimately leading you towards a state of hopelessness and despair from where survival may seem to you as only a fruitless existence. But actually the fact is not like that, but something else that cannot be explained in a tangible way; something to perceive, within, with the deeper core of your existence.
Actually, our life is not a silver platter that will glitter all the time, but something to experience, to learn from. But most of the time we tend to forget this fact and allow ourselves to be lulled with all the external glitters, completely forgetting about our inner power and once again, fall under the trap of some noisy illusions. And by this process, quite automatically we ourselves welcome that devil into our own territory, indulging it forward to take us into its grip, while actually it is nothing, but only an external force to lure us in several tempting ways. And the more we get involved into those external illusions, the more that devil comes closer to us. And gradually we ourselves start to feel that we`re no one, but only some helpless creatures, continually struggling in our life, being only a tool at its hands.
In order to explicate the point more in a deeper way, I would like to share with you an incident that happened to a successful business owner who ultimately sabotaged his entire success, he gained throughout his life time, only by the tricks of that devil of his unconscious that had continually demotivated all his efforts and perseverance, making him feel he is not worthy enough to deserve all this. Actually it started much earlier especially during his childhood when every time he used to be humiliated by his surroundings. Even by his own parents he was being considered as a hopeless one who is not here to succeed, but only to lead a life of fruitless survival! Years passed, circumstances changed and ultimately life was proved to him not as a curse, but as a miracle, a blessing itself! It made him one of the most successful entrepreneurs in his surroundings.
But in spite of this massive change, something remained the same! And that unchangeable thing was nothing, but that devil inside of his unconscious that ultimately proved itself as a detrimental force, bringing his failure altogether. You may be surprised, may think how it is possible for anyone to feel himself as an unsuccessful one, while being at the top of the success meter! But here at this juncture, I would like to remind you that it`s possible if you constantly indulge a devil to spread its poisonous tentacles within yourself. And this case was also not an exception to that. If you go through his own words you will easily comprehend the same;
“I didn`t know what exactly happened that time… but somehow I used to feel that something was not happening right…and I must stay away from all this success, from all the prosperities that I`ve achieved throughout my life…sometimes I used to feel a hoary voice, whispering into my ears, trying to make me feel that I`m not worthy to deserve all these success…everyone is envying me, sniffing at me…and I`m here only to be humiliated!” These were his realization when he was already at the top of his success. You may be surprised, may think why he was behaving in such an unusual way. And at this point, my answer would be that these words actually were not of his own, but of that devil itself that couched into a permanent shelter, a shelter within his unconscious in an inconspicuous way. Do you want to know what that devil all about was? It was nothing, but his own negative thoughts (already ingrained into his unconscious from childhood through some traumatic experiences) that were still spreading its tentacles and tempting him to believe that he`s nothing, but only a puppet at the hands of that devil itself! And that stern belief, though negative indeed, ultimately made him to utter; “it`s all nonsense… the success and all that I`ve achieved… I’m nothing… absolutely nothing and it is only the failure and despair that I deserve to have in my life…”
Here in this section, my point is that this external society and circumstances cannot be changed. We cannot take up the responsibilities to change everything, all through ever. But we still have that power, within to make a change in our thought process, not only to crush the devilish laughter by the power of our soul, but also to bring back that divine smile, within in order to feel the true essence of our being in a deeper way; in order to feel that we`re nothing, but the spiritual beings, eternal and powerful with all our primordial essence! And trust me! The moment you start to feel that divine smile, lurking on your face, the moment you start to believe on yourself and once again, quite surprisingly you start to get aligned with your primordial essence that is continually inspiring and guiding you to move forward in your life, in spite of all the external oddities and upheavals.
And here in lies the truth of your life, your spiritual existence as well that has that power enough to make you smile in a blissful way and to fade away that devilish laughter forever. But quite unfortunately, it didn`t happen to that entrepreneur and ultimately he himself chose to lead a life of despair in a solitary destination with his own, until another miracle happened to him and quite surprisingly enough, he got introduced with the true worth of his real self, within!
Find out your inner truth and encounter that devil with all the smile, you`ve within:
Here in this section, I would like to remind you a simple fact of our existence that we all have a divine and a devil self, already ingrained into our unconscious. But it`s always up to you which one do you prefer to choose for yourself? Because therein lies the real truth of our existence. But finding that divinity, within is not an easy process to comprehend, but a reflection, indeed to perceive; a reflection, a self- exploration in the sense! And that case of that entrepreneur was not an exception to that. The devil of his unconscious had absolutely devoured his entity, until he got reconnected, once again with the eternal divinity within. And here in lies the magic of that divine smile, the magic of exploring yourself in the rays of that divine light! And it is that divine light that ultimately helped him to bring him back to his center and made him to realize where in lies the true worth of his being. And quite unknowingly of himself he got to know the real power of that divine smile that he already had, within since the primordial time of his existence but never found that before, before that ultimate realization.
In this connection, I would like to remind you that the more you indulge that devil, within to spread its tentacles, harboring on some negative thoughts about yourself, the more you will get distant from yours soul`s choice! That devil can only lead you towards a state of meaninglessness. But if you pay heed to your soul`s voice you`ll realize that the reality is not in that negativities, rather in something else, in something that may not be interpreted in a tangible sense, but to be perceived within, perceived with all your depth. And the moment you start to perceive your true self, your divinity, within, the moment you start to get aligned with the real truth of eternity itself!
And here in lies the utility of one`s turning, within, descending down into the depth of your unconscious and finding the divine self that has the ability to crush the devil, inside of your entity. As the devil is nothing, but only an unconscious projection of our mind itself that doesn`t match with the real core of our existence as we`re connected to the universal source of divine energy, since eternity. And here in lies the real core, the true worth of our existence. And the moment we get introduced with that divine source of energy, harboring within us, quite unknowingly of ourselves, we start to feel that the devil inside of our entity is just fading away and a newer light of divinity is merging its way with our being! And remember, it is the source of that divine smile, within; it is the source of our life itself, our guiding principle to channelize our consciousness towards a different realm in a right order to bring back our balance, to perceive our divinity, within.
In this connection, I would like to tell you if you wish to feel that divinity, within you need to descend more into your depth, into the depth of your soul where in lies the eternity itself! Keeping aside all our rational thoughts and interpretations, if you descend more into that depth within, you`ll get introduced with a different reality of our existence that is solely associated with your true self. And as I feel, if you are able to explore yourself into the deeper layer of your psyche, you would easily be one of the happiest souls in this world of existence. And this is the ultimate way, I feel to perceive the serenity of divine bliss, within!
It was really a magical moment when that entrepreneur got aligned with his true self and got realized that his projection of that devil, inside and all his frightful resolve was just nothing, but a separation from his ideal reality that he himself also confessed as `a moment of mirroring myself `; a moment when his consciousness totally got aligned with that divine power of intelligence and, once again he started to feel where in lies the essential core of his spiritual existence. And the moment he started to realize this fact, quite automatically smile came into his face as a divine grace, he started to feel that infinite power, within his depth. And once again, started to perceive that his soul`s voice has something special to make him believe that he also has a different purpose on this earth and that purpose is nothing to do with that devil`s laughter, rather a purpose to believe on his soul`s power, to feel his presence not only as a human being, but as a spiritual being, instead! And the moment he started to get that true reflection of himself, quite unknowingly of him, his pure consciousness starts to speak with his depth and all the disequilibrium, created by that devil, inside quite automatically started to fade away and ultimately his being found out that ideal way to emerge before the world with all its spontaneity, once again!
And here in lies the real power of our true being, the reality of our existence that needs not to be scared of that devil when it comes with all its malicious and harmful efforts, but what we need to do is only to lit the candles of our faith, deeper within our being and allow our soul to fly with all its divine essence!
Let`s surrender to the Infinite and feel the eternal bliss, within:
Feeling the divinity, within is not only to contemplate and perceive the deeper meaning of your existence, but to feel your eternal connection to the ultimate source of universal intelligence and to surrender your entity without any hitch or restrain. As it is that universal source of intelligence that is continually guiding you to move forward, negating all the vibes that the devil inside of your unconscious trying to spread with its venomous tentacles. Your frightful resolve, your negative thinking, your depressing thoughts or even your thoughts, regarding jealousy, greed or sometimes taking revenge on others are nothing, but only the projection of that devil of your unconscious who quite inconspicuously tries to let you down and sometimes even lures you to stay into a dark dungeon of fruitless survival, perhaps in order to feel that you`re nothing, but only a hopeless creature to be played by the whims of that devil. And trust me, this happens only when you get separated from your spiritual center! This separation not only hinders your soul to evolve, once again, but also channelizes your consciousness into a totally opposite direction, quite contrary to the ideal choice of your true self. As this is the eternal force, guiding you, since the primordial time of your existence, any separation from that may hinder you to feel the ultimate divine purity of your soul, since the primordial time of your existence. What you need to do is only to surrender to that divine source of universal intelligence, to see, within and feel that everlasting glory inside your entity! That special connection wouldn`t leave you astray, rather help you to believe on your strength, once again and make you feel that you`re not alone on this earth, but already connected to some special energy that is helping you to feel your presence all the day and night!
And here in lies the magic itself, the magic of your existence and the reality of your true connection to that divine force, within. But the problem is if we continually indulge that devil into our unconscious, remember, we`re just doing nothing, but getting separated from our divinity, within that we`ve, since the primordial time of our existence. Knowing yourself and surrendering your entity to that infinite truth of divine intelligence not only helps you to transcend your soul to that truth of eternity, but also rejuvenates her to seek the real meaning of your existence; a meaning that is beyond this tangible realm of logical interpretations, a meaning that is inexplicable in a rational way, but to be perceived within only through a blissful experience. And on that very moment, you start to feel that your pure consciousness is getting aligned with a higher wisdom, a wisdom of peace and serenity; a wisdom that never makes you feel your existence as a fruitless survival; running after some illusions and getting scared of several devilish encounters, but an existence instead where truth and beauty hold each other’s hands in a blissful accord. Though intangible perhaps, but finds a tangible frame on your face, named as `Smile`, a divine smile, instead!
“If the night comes to you as a lonely castle/ with a devil inside of it/ making you feel unnerved/ never ever try to flee from that/ never try to find the moon over the sky/ rather, try to feel your presence, within/ like those stars, overhead dazzling bright/ feel that enigmatic hour/ and allow your heart to smile again/ reminding yourself/ that you`ve nothing more to lose, nothing to gain, again/ but only to live/ to breathe in your divine presence/and to feel your soul`s voice/ she is still humming, within/ smiling with eternity/ with all her magical essence!”
