From Isolation to Spiritual Attainment

The 14 years of exile was an enriching journey for Rama, allowing him to explore the self and contemplate a vision for a fulfilling and content life for humanity.

The various encounters in the journey — the loss of love and honor, the sacrifice of Garuda, the friendliness of Nishad, the spiritual attainment of Ahalya, the gratitude of Sugriva, the promising alliance with the Vanaras, the unconditional love and humility of Hanuman, the arrogance of Ravana, the peril of the Rakshasas, the perplexity of the Yaksha, and many more — opened an unknown territory for Rama to set a new paradigm for life.

Sita serves as the vehicle (Yana) that enables Rama to fulfil his purpose, and when that purpose is fulfilled, she departs.

During the 13 years of exile, Yudhishthira spent time with the community of forest dwellers, sages, wandering mendicants, and munis, absorbing the teachings of the Aranyaka, Brahmana, and Upanishads. These teachings revealed his addictions, fears, inhibitions, and laid-back habits, helping him transcend them and gain the clarity and strength to firmly choose war over perpetuating the failed alliance.

The isolated inner journey breaks stagnant patterns and conditioning, and transcends human limitations to reach the divine. Consistent discipline and mindful practices pave the way to self-mastery. When you align your thoughts, actions, and purpose, you unlock limitless possibilities.

Character building takes years of hard work, penance, self-meditation, and learning, while the external battle is merely a showcase of rich inner earnings.

It took only six months of Udyog (preparation) after 13 years for the Kurukshetra war to happen. Similarly, after six months of Sita’s captivity, the Ram-Ravan Yuddha unfolded. The rest of the years were spent in self-enquiry, self-exploration, and self-improvement — the true battle within — to navigate life’s complexities with clarity, compassion, and courage, ultimately leading to inner freedom and fulfilment.

The authentic self is an inner reservoir of wisdom and strength that empowers one to face life’s challenges with resilience and grace. It dissolves self-doubt, boosts self-esteem, and cultivates positive habits while releasing unwanted emotions. By aligning with your true essence, you optimize performance and create a life of growth and fulfillment.

The “The Power of Three: Unlocking your Path to Self-Mastery” delves into your inner world, identifies limiting beliefs, insecurities, and emotional wounds, and gradually helps you overcome inner limitations, leading to a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

Vedas--The Evolution of Society

The Vedas serve as both a scientific and historical treasure, acting as a gateway to awakening cosmic consciousness. The Rigveda contains historical memory and beautifully blends human endeavours with divine attributes. Indra, Agni, Varuna, Mitra, Savitur, and Soma are epithets given to people, institutions, cultures, traditions, and beliefs.

Indra represents a warrior and an unconquerable leader— a benevolent king who bestows bounty upon his people or tribe. Agni symbolizes the priest or instructor and most likely refers to the native populace or customs, revered as a messenger between the human (Indra) and the divine.

Throughout Bhartiya history, there have been many Indras. Anyone from the Deva, Danava, or Daitya lineage could hold this title. A kind and victorious leader of a tribe was called Indra, but what distinguished him from others was his extraordinary qualities and actions. The hymns dedicated to Indra praise these attributes.

Thus, the Rigvedic hymns capture the historicity of various Indras at different points in time and inspire individuals to awaken Indra (benevolent leadership) within themselves. Similarly, every divine attribute in the Vedas can be redefined in the context of history and civilization.

The Yajurveda codifies historical knowledge through mantras, rituals, and yajnas. Various Agni cult practices prevailed in ancient times with the belief of connecting with the gods. The term Agni was probably used for native customs and was thus revered as the highest seat for a priest or messenger between humans and the divine. The Yajurveda compiled different customs and practices, codifying them into mantras and rituals.

Rituals are connected to historical antiquity, blending with native civilizations and cultures, which is why they appear different in various parts of the world. Yajna symbolizes the sacrifice of regressive habits and outdated thought patterns, which was later represented by the symbolic sacrifice of animals.

The different schools of the Yajurveda and their respective Brahmanas can decode history in an unprecedented way. However, this requires extensive research—studying the four Vedas, scriptures from various schools, the Brahmanas, and then assimilating and arranging this vast knowledge in a rational manner.

The Samaveda, the last of the four, primarily consists of Rigvedic hymns. It arranges hymns in various meters, reflecting the evolution of civilizations and their beliefs. The composers and chanters of these hymns were known as Kavis (royal bards), singers, chanters, Udgātars, Levites, and more.

Over time, the yajna process became structured, with designated priests assigned to specific rituals.

The Vedas encompass world history and the evolutionary process of civilization-building. Without studying the Vedas and the Brahmanas, history remains only one-fourth revealed, while three-fourths remain veiled.

If this approach appears irrelevant and the traditional method of research is still considered the only scientific basis, then I must say—modern research would simply go around in circles, lost in bewilderment. Relying solely on assumptions, counter-assumptions, and romanticized theories about Pyramids, Anunnaki, Alexander, Greeks, and Mayans would be like wandering through a mythical wonderland.

The Vedas are not just spiritual texts; they hold the key to scientific wisdom and historical memory! 🕉️✨ It offers valuable philosophical insights on self-love, growth, limitless potential, awareness, and cultivating abundance for a successful life.

Loss of Inheritance

Once, the famous Pourava king Yayati, in his old age, called his five sons and asked them to exchange their youth for his old age. Four of them—Yadu, Turvasu, Anu, and Druhyu—refused, unwilling to trade their flourishing youth for the ailments and fatigue of old age. However, Puru accepted the burden of his father, sacrificing his youth to bear the ancestral old age and karmic baggage.

During this period of redemption, Puru gradually lost his youthful immaturity, superficial knowledge, and conditioned thinking, gaining instead the wisdom of old age and eternal knowledge. He chose to liberate his ancestors from karmic sins and, in doing so, freed himself from the chains of conditioning, making him the Chosen One destined to rule the world and establish an enduring legacy.

He freed the mind rather than confining it within the inherited walls of conformity and conditioning, sacrificing the joys of youth for a higher purpose. Liberation shatters the old shackles of inherited relationships, bonds, comfort, and inaction—but it comes at a heavy cost. It demands death and destruction, leaving one alone on the journey of life—like a lone traveller on a train, while others disembark at their respective stations.

The loss of age-old patterns and conditioning,
Exchanged for new perspectives and innovative building.
Losing a part of inheritance, unfolding past karma,
Untying the grip of old relations, habits, and inconsistent dharma.
Tearing down the walls of social conformity and fleeting ties,
Vacating a space in the heart, longing for the unknown skies.
Letting go of friends and confidants, waiting for the dawn,
No more shackles of imprisonment—the restraints are gone.
Desires expand, igniting the fire,
Reaching the universe, rising higher.
A void lingers in the heart of existence eternally,
The loss of inheritance remains a grieving memory.
The loss that bore the fall of Bheeshma, Drona, and thousands more,
Left Dharma wailing, cleansing the sins of those before.
The stubborn bridges of Bheeshma and Drona had to fall,
For the victory of Jaya to rise above all.
The wrath of Pinaka had to be tamed by Rama,
For the triumph of Daya—compassion’s dharma.

*(Rama of axe is replaced by Compassionate Rama of bow).

Shedding old identities, attachments, conflicts, and conditioned beliefs allows the soul to breathe freely, unburdened by the weight of the past. In this loss, there is a spiritual awakening—a chance to rebuild with wisdom, strength, and a deeper understanding of existence.

'The Power of Three: Unlocking Your Path to Self-Mastery' is a spiritual self-help book that excavates the deeper aspects of life, redefining karma, destiny, yoga, the Tri-gunas, detachment, and many other abstract terms in practical and relatable language.

Swadharma in Bhagavad Gita

The essence of the Bhagavad Gita is Swadharma. Swadharma is the scientific inquiry into realizing the true nature of the self. The teachings of the Gita are primarily aimed at inspiring Arjuna to follow his Swadharma. Arjuna was in despair, facing a dilemma about the right course of action in the midst of war. His vulnerable state of inner conflict struggled between the duality of right and wrong or choosing inaction over action. He was essentially seeking an easy way out rather than initiating a great war that would leave traumatic memories for thousands.

Arjuna believed that if he chose sannyasa—renouncing his rights, dreams, ideas, and goals—life would be easier within the comfort of a safe and peaceful existence. This would spare him from causing pain, distress, anger, and frustration to his family and relatives.

His enemies, who were content with the status quo, had no desire to change the course of time. They feared losing the privileges and entitlements granted to them by the prevailing system.

However, Krishna had a different plan—that’s why he came down to Earth. The Yuga had to change. The old norms, mindsets, rigidity, repetitive patterns, stubbornness, and entitlement—everything that held back new creation—had to be broken to allow fresh expression.

The old and mighty patrons, Bhishma and Drona, were the strongest pillars of stagnant customs, authority, entitlement, and rigid, hollow pride—pride that valued a woman's death over preserving the honor of a name. One was bound by his oath, and the other was consumed by the grave insult of his friend until he sought revenge by subjugating him through Arjuna.

Time was about to change, and so was Arjuna, who was born different from his family. Despite being in the period of Brahmacharya (celibacy), he honored Ulupi’s wish for union—a complete shift from his grandsire’s rigid beliefs. But this was the battlefield of Kurukshetra, where time and circumstance demanded the destruction of the old mansion of inheritance—a place where Arjuna had once felt safe and comfortable throughout his life.

Bhakti provides love and comfort in the harshest of situations, Gyan holds the reins and guides life toward its purpose, and Karma is the actual weapon that brings about permanent change. Karma is performed in the material world within defined boundaries and rules. Gyan can only show the path; it is up to the individual to take action and fulfill their purpose.

The Gita does not speak of ordinary materialistic tasks performed for survival. It speaks of Swadharma—one’s innate nature, natural inclination, spontaneous habits, and attitude. It was Arjuna’s Swadharma that led him to accept Ulupi’s advances; otherwise, he would have followed inherited traditions. Not everyone is blessed with the ability to recognize their Swadharma.

Swadharma does not reconcile with societal norms or environmental expectations. Either one follows Swadharma, or one follows the mainline Dharma. Choosing Swadharma leads to a path deviated from the right, where there is no queue, not even a road to follow. Yet, whether one turns left or right, everyone remains within the boundary of Dharma.

An out-of-the-box approach, courage, patience, and humility provide the strength to reject comfort, greed, shortcuts, lies, and manipulation while remaining steadfast in Swadharma. Unnecessary comparisons with the widespread, easy, and ordinary lives of laymen have no relevance to the concept of Swadharma. Different inclinations, levels of understanding, awakening, and recognition of innate desires shape a unique purpose for each individual. A higher state of consciousness transcends ego and illusions, allowing one to perceive reality with clarity and unity. It is the awakening of the soul to its true nature, free from conditioning and limitations.

Annamaya life represents a consumerist society that merely consumes resources, with more than 80% of the population belonging to this domain. Their Dharma is to contribute to society through dana (charity), philanthropic work, and acts of generosity.

However, if someone realizes the purpose of life yet continues the same repetitive job out of fear and attachment, failure will inevitably follow. Inner conflict divides effort, scattering energy in all directions, making it impossible to achieve any goal.

Thus, for those awakened to the purpose of life or who have realized their Swadharma according to Gita, there is no escape—they must fight their battle with full strength.

Self-Love and Bhakti: The Transformative Journey from Illusion to Universal Love

Bhakti, or Love, is a psychological ascent that satisfies all material desires and brings a sense of completeness within oneself. True cessation of desire occurs when objectivity fades. A newly created world defies all existing physical laws.

This self-created world replaces relative reality or, in a way, negates reality as it exists. If someone has abandoned the world or taken refuge in a mountain or an ashram, this self-delusional world grants only Ananda (bliss). However, in other circumstances, it may manifest as a serious mental illness, such as schizophrenia.

The imaginary partner or beloved represents one’s dormant or neglected self—embraced wholeheartedly over trivial and superficial social acceptance. This unconditional love transcends prevailing social norms and thought patterns that define the practical or material world. The self-lover remains untouched by reality, finding solace in a self-created world. Delving deeper, one can perceive the paradox of self-love: the self has cloned itself into its partner, meaning love is still attached to an object or person.

Material love (attachment) is entangled in the karmic cycle and is bound to bring grief. However, love itself never leads to grief! The journey of love remains incomplete until it encounters separation. The culmination of love detaches the self from its object of affection—the one it desires to love and be loved by.

The stage of Vairagya (detachment or separation) shatters the illusion of the dream world, forcing the soul to confront reality. The imaginary world inevitably dissolves into sorrow and suffering—after all, how long can a castle built of wind withstand a real storm?

Not everyone falls in love, and those who misinterpret love as fleeting, flexible emotions fail to create an enduring fairy tale world. The rare potential to awaken long-dormant emotions is what truly manifests love. Love is the strongest of all emotions—its pain and separation expand the heart, preparing it for universal love. At this stage, love is no longer confined to a single object or person; it immerses itself in universal love.

Love is omnipresent in nature, dissolving the distinction between subject and object and merging everything into an all-pervading essence of love. When the objective identity fades away, only love remains. Now, love is complete in itself!

This is the ultimate realization of mastery, where life itself flows effortlessly in alignment with your highest truth. Embrace the power of three—awareness, discipline, and transcendence—and unlock the infinite potential within.

The Power of Three: Unlocking Your Path to Self-Mastery--is a self-help book designed to free your mind and emotions, unlocking your limitless potential.

Self-awakening is a journey of both joy and despair—what is lost paves the way for something greater. It not about renouncing material possessions, but rather about transcending the limited, material aspect of life.

The purpose of life, in one sentence, is this: A worthwhile purpose (Rajas) dissolves all irrelevant (Tamas) attachments and barriers, maintaining a constant flow of life (Sattva).

The Power of Three: Unlocking Your Path to Self-Mastery

Refer to, The Power of Three: Unlocking Your Path to Self-Mastery

This is the journey of the self—a path that turns inward until we reach the other side of the hole. In scientific terms, this phenomenon is analogous to a Wormhole, which reduces millennia of distance to mere kilometers.

This spiritual self-help book aims to shorten humanity's millennia-long struggle to align with its inherent nature, creating a wormhole that bridges the limited physical world with the eternal cosmic realm.

'The Power of Three' is a spiritual self-help guide that excavates the deeper aspects of life, redefining karma, destiny, yoga, the Tri-gunas, detachment, and many other abstract terms in practical and relatable language.

Spiritualism is not about renouncing material possessions, but rather about transcending the limited, material aspect of life. Spiritualism, or Rationalism, is a mindset—an attitude that embraces scientific reasoning and analogies, seeking to include everyone based on their potential capacity.

Sometimes, the first experience leaves a lasting impact, and The Power of Three is one such transformative encounter.
