Arise, Awake, and Be Unstoppable

 “My Spiritual Journey with Swami Vivekananda Quotes”

Being in the world of illusion, we all walk up every day, but have you ever realized that "Are we really being awakened?" - these are VIMALSSHRE's curious thoughts.

For sometime I am undergoing my spiritual journey where I have been facing so many issues, I won't denote them with struggles, instead I tag them all with the wholesome package of beautiful life lessons that is somewhere making me fall in LOVE with them.

I was always been inspired by Swami Vivekananda's quotes and guidance, but in my life I have never taken them that seriously. However, in recent days I came across one of his quotes stating "Arise, Awake, and stop not till the goal is reached."

These are the most simple yet utmost powerful words that somewhere shaken me up. I felt these words are literally talking to me.

For the first time, while reading these words I felt a sort of guidance that I am getting from the divine to face the issues in the purest way where I need to be confident and wise enough to tackle them.

Swami Vivekananda Quotes for Motivation -  “The world is the great gymnasium where we come to make ourselves strong.”

Now, after this I got so curious to get into its details - I literally started making a soul search on these 10 words.

So, here comes my research - We all get a wakeup call every single day, but do we really wake up in the sense that makes sense to our lives? No, right!

We rush-up to our routine task - gets fresh up, cook food and have some with a quick rush to the office, but for a moment have you ever thought what's next, why are we rushing up behind something which makes no sense to our soul purpose. To be frank enough, we don't even know where it is gonna take us at the end of the day.

I read somewhere where Swamiji said that to be awakened you don't have to wake up in the morning, instead you can wake up at your comfort of night as well, but it is very crucial to be aware of your inner consciousness all the time, which will never sleep even when your body sleeps — If this makes sense.

Relating to the context Babuji Maharaj once stated that your unawareness with your inner-self can move you away from your GOD.

Swamji often says that we are all souls trapped in this ‘matrix dream,’ which always talks to us wearing the 3D glass of illusion. 

This matrix always informs us about its real existence as everything around us is in the awakened state, alive, and arises every moment.

Swami Vivekananda Quotes for Motivation -  “You cannot believe in God until you believe in yourself.”

Now, these statements are so profound that even when we try to reject them they will split our face with a bunch of practical examples proving them to be false.

Here, I am not telling that we should not accept the practicality of the situation, but if we want to grow spiritually and want to break the trap then we must ignore our conscious mind, and try to connect with our inner-self. Now, this is a real deal!

However, if you ever got a chance to really awaken yourself by awakening your inner-consciousness, then I must say that it’s time for you to try for the next level — the level of stillness that connects us to beyond. 

Well, I know you might be thinking - walking up itself has eaten up almost the entire day. How could it even be possible to be in the state of inner-consciousness all the time, by being open to the world as well at the same time?

Here, I remember a quote from Steward Brand - 

"Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty,’ 

where liberty is pointed directly towards eternal vigilance, the real need for any spiritual seeker, simply to get away from the path of conscious evolution.

Let me share with you, while working on this stuff, somehow I started blinking in-between, as to what is the real difference between the word - Enlightenment and Realization. 

I often heard people stating that realization leads to enlightenment, "the moksha." 

But, nobody teaches us how to realize ourselves, they blindly throw a bush and say try to realize your inner-self. 

Now, we all have inner-self with a set of belief systems and karmic ties, bonds etc., or can say the Karmas 'the apt word.'

As far as I know self-realization is possible only with self acceptance, where we accept ourselves for what we are. Once we are done with that we automatically start to stay happy, not for others but for ourselves, our soul.

With self-realization, we get into the state of positive thinking where we all of a sudden forgive others for no reason. 

The material words seems to be zero for us where the feelings of ego, cry, hurt, self-doubt, anger, lack of confidence, all shreds away from us.

Swami Vivekananda Quotes for Motivation -  “The whole secret of existence is to have no fear. Never fear what will become of you, depend on no one. Only the moment you reject all help are you freed.”

 

In my case, sometimes it so happened that all of a sudden I started saying sorry to my belongings. Now, at the beginning I felt weird but later I felt as if I had been heard, I got a feeling of calmness within me, which was really great — now I have made this a regular practice. 

Whenever a person reaches this stage of self-acceptance, he/she will be so positive with their life goals, that their goals seem to get aligned with time. 

They get the inner-strength with the wisdom that teaches them how to interact and be present in both worlds — consciousness and inner-consciousness.

These people are so enlightened that you will feel so happy and vibrant around them. 

So, I realized that it's the light of self-realization that purely guides us to do our dark soul search. As a result the dawn of light that we attain at the end is what the real moksha — The Enlightenment.

Last but least, I believe that God resides within us, so if you ever want to experience self-realization then I suggest you to sit still at a place and try to listen to your heart not mind. 

Your inner-self is early waiting for you to get your soul on track. 

Swami Vivekananda Quotes for Motivation -  “In one word, this ideal is that you are divine.”
