All kinds of teachings, religions and techniques are mere references.
Those are just devices, ways, methods, and techniques to help you to find out your own nature.
All systems are devices to help: to help people who are full of doubts,
To help people who have no trust,
To help people who have no confidence.
Every system is just a device to help you,
But every system cannot help everybody equally1x
When the truth is revealed to you through the device,
The system will become meaningless, it will simply drop.
The authentic teaching: the way to spirituality teaches you to discover your pure possibility, to discover the God within you.
It is a kind of growth. It is your own growth.
When you reach to a point where you are totally conscious, then there is God1x
Self-Realization is knowing in body, mind and soul that we are one with our origin-so called God.
In the state of trance and tranquility, our mind is pure and simple.
When it is emptied of thought, it enters the pure and simple light of God and finds nothing but the light. [Be still and know that I am God. ?Psalm 46:10]
Actually conceptual thought will prevent you from entering the palace of wisdom.
There are techniques for how to develop the centers.
Hindus talk about seven centers (Chakras)-seven dynamic centers in the body.
Buddhists talk about nine power sources.
Tibetans talk about thirteen centers in the body.
Taoists talk about three centers in the body.
Kundalini Yogis talk about seven Chakras: Muladhara, Svadhishthana, Munipura, Anahata, Vishuddha, Ajana, and Sahasrara.)
But whatever they talk, the basic existential center is the navel center.
Your functional center maybe anywhere else?.
You can find out your own also, there is no need to study about others'.
Any point in the body can be made an object of centering.
Because the centering is the thing,
The heart center is based on love, faith, and surrender.
But the head is based on doubt and negation.
So it is very difficult to be centered in reason.
One basic thing to be understood: the heart center and head centers are to be developed,
Not the navel center.
The navel center is just to be discovered; it is not to be developed.
Because the navel center is already there.
It is there fully developed; you are not to develop it.
Only you have to uncover, or discover it, it is a hidden treasure.
The heart center and head center are developments.
Society, culture, education, conditioning help to develop them.
There are techniques for how to develop the heart center- how to grow in love,
How to grow in sensitivity, how to become a more sensitive mind?
And there are methods and techniques for how to become more rational, more logical,
More intellectual?.
So reason can be developed, emotion can be developed but existence cannot be developed.
It is already there: it has to be discovered.
So it may not be possible for you to have a mind-a reasoning faculty-like Einstein's.
But you can become a Buddha: an enlightened one-buddhahood.
You cannot be able to become a genius, but you can become a Buddha because Buddhahood is not to be developed in you, it is already in there.
It is concerned with the basic center, the original center-the navel Chakra.
It is already there. You are actually already a Buddha, only unaware.
Buddhahood is not an individual,
Buddhahood is a phenomenon.
No individual factors are meaningful: just your being is enough to be enlighten one.
That is Buddhahood.
Because the navel center is already there, functioning: you have to develop to discover that1x
So the techniques for the navel center are concerning with uncovering.
You have to uncover your Buddhahood in there.
Every enlightened one is navel-centered, but the expression of each enlightened one may flow through other centers. That is the why the expression is different.
Every enlightened one is navel-centered: there is no other possibility.
But the expression is a different thing.
Ramakrishna (1836-86) expresses himself from the heart.
He uses his heart as the vehicle of his message. So he sings, dances-that is his way of expressing his bliss.
Krishnamurti (1895-1986) uses his head for that expression.
If you believe in Ramakrishna you cannot believe in Krishnamurti.
Because their expressions are very contradictory to you.
Buddha never danced. Jesus of Nazareth did something else?
The experience is neither rational nor emotional: it is beyond both1x
All teachings are mere references.
The true expression is living your own life.
The, even the Holiest of words are only words.
People no longer need such a products-faiths of a well-organized religion.
Instead those, they need to experience spirituality by themselves.
Jesus of Nazareth said, "The Kingdom of God does not come if you watch for it, nor will anyone be able to say, 'It is here' or 'It is there' for the Kingdom of God is within you."
