Myths and Facts of Manifestation

Manifestation of our desires in our physical reality using body-mind-heart based traditional manifestation methods like Affirmation, Feeling and Visualization has been widely discussed in the Western spiritual literature for about a century. But since many authors of this literature were not spiritually enlightened, they have either exaggerated or oversimplified the principles behind manifestation, leading to the development of many myths regarding this process among the readers of this literature. This Article examines five such common myths and presents the corresponding facts from spiritual perspective.

Free Ebook on Teachings of Shirdi Sai Baba, a great Indian Saint

Who is Shirdi Sai Baba?

If you go to Mumbai (India), you can see, in many places, the picture of a Saint sitting like a royal king, with His right leg folded on His left and unmindful of the tear of His shirt on the right arm, on a stone. Shirdi Sai Baba is a household name now for most people in India, not only in the State of Maharashtra but almost in all States.

Whom to Pray and What to Pray?

Right from childhood we have been trained how to pray to God Who is, we have been told, residing up there in the spiritual sky. We have been guided to beg Him what we want in our life. Of course we know the success rate of such prayers. Yet we didn’t have many choices, and so we continue to pray this way, and we teach our kids what we have been taught by our parents. It’s time for us to wake up and learn and guide our kids whom to pray and what to pray.

What Surrender is Not

A lady had been suffering from a serious physical ailment for a few years. Inspired by some article on prayer, she started praying. It went on for a month or two. Then she wrote to me, ‘I am not going to pray any longer, rather I’d submit to the Will of God and endure this pain until the disease is cured.’ I was surprised by her definition of Surrender implicit in her statement. She tried to get her disease cured by means of prayer. Apparently she failed in her attempt, and she decided to give up. Is it submission of her will to the Will of Lord? If she doesn’t want to "surrender", what other options she had? If this is Surrender, then what was she doing before she started praying? She "surrendered" for a few years, then she prayed for a month or two, and then she "surrenders" again - until she decides not to.

There is a much bigger Villain than Ego

Spiritual aspirants are often asked by the spiritual preachers to fight their ego with all their arms and ammunition. And the novices also imagine that they’ll have to fight, with all their might, the extraterrestrial called ego that has invaded their kingdom of Self, and kill it to procure independence to their kingdom. They are also warned that the enemy ego will come in disguise again and again like phoenix, and they should annihilate it completely. Thus, there is so much fuss about this predator ego in the online discussions that I think it’ll be useful for the spiritual aspirants if I write a few points to dispel some misconceptions in this regard.

Light in Meditation

Many persons doing Meditation, for material as well as spiritual goals, have reported to me that they were seeing light within them during meditation and wanted me to comment on their achievement. I thought an article on this phenomenon would be of some help to many people who are doing or intending to do meditation.

God, Why me?

I have been discussing critical life events, from spiritual perspective, of a number of persons in person as well as online for the past one decade, and the one question I have always encountered almost from everyone is this - “Why has Lord punished me and let X free while I have done nothing wrong and [unprintable bad word] X has done everything wrong? Is Lord really existing or not?” People used to paraphrase this question in the context of their own life, but essence of the question is the same. Let me explain in this article why it happens so here on this planet that is perfectly ruled by the just yet merciful Lord of this universe.

Myths & Facts of Enlightenment

Gita says that not even one in a thousand succeeds in getting enlightened [BG 7:3]. Due to the large section of people being ignorant of what enlightenment feels like, there are more myths of it than facts. If you and I have not seen a single lion right from our childhood, our discussion about lion described theoretically in a book written by a person who has actually seen a lion, will generate more myths than facts of a lion, isn’t it? This article considers five such popular myths and presents the facts.
