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).

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.

Religion/Mata at the time of Mahabharata

There were 5 religions/matas/panthas/sampradayas at the time of Mahabharata: Yoga, Samkhya, Vedic, Pancharatra, and Pashupata. The most famous text Ramayana is written with five different perspectives also.

• Yoga & Samkhya—Adhbuta Ramayana
• Pancharatra—Valmiki Ramayana
• Veda—Ramopkhyan

Pashupata Ramayana couldn't be identified however, scholars keep Ananda Ramayana in this category. And there was a Jain Ramayana and Mahabharat too. Yoga is a series of practices and it holds Samadhi as the ultimate goal for the union between Purusha (spirit) and Prakriti (nature). Yoga with Samkhya beliefs formed the Yoga-Samkhya school of thought. The addition of 5 Yama and Niyamas differentiate Yoga from Samkhya. The five Yama of Patanjali's classical yoga system is moral restraints, good conduct, ethics, virtues, and duties that affect yogi's relations with surroundings.

• Ahimsa: Non-violence, non-harming other living beings
• Satya: Truthfulness
• Asteya: Non-stealing
• Brahmacharya: Celibacy, moderation of senses
• Aparigraha: Non-greed, non-possessiveness

The five Niyama are personal obligations to live well. It includes Saucha (cleanliness), Santosha (contentment), Tapas (self-discipline), Svadhyaya (self-reflection), and Ishvarapranidhana (surrender to a higher power).

The Ten Yama are codified as “the restraints/commandments” in other religions also. There is a long line of 125 prophets/gurus that ended in Patanjali. 125 is also the number of Agni so it could be the Agni-based sect or the sect of Agni merged into it.

The mata of Yoga is formed by Non-Vedic Munis, Yatis, Wanderers, and Yogis-Yoginis. They opposed the Agni-based cult of rituals and immediately connected to Bhrigu. Bhrigu was the one who cursed Agni to devour anything. In Zoroastrian beliefs, Agni is the purest of all and it cannot devour dead dirt, and filth while in Hinduism, Agni is also the purest of all so anything that goes into Agni becomes pure. Agni can never become impure! These Vedic heritage is a timeless reservoir of spiritual wisdom, scientific inquiry, and ethical living that upholds the principles of Dharma, cosmic harmony, and the pursuit of truth.

So, the Yati Darshana was the ancient Indian. There was a class of Kshatriya Yoginis who were devoted to Siva and called Vratyas. Gandhari was a great Siva Yogini.

Bacchus/Dionysus cult in Greek history had a mad, frenzy women devotees who would drink and dance freely from self-conscious fear and care to ease their sufferings and bring joys. The cult of Chemosh in Moabites, Baal worship in Canaanite were all of similar ecstatic, sensual, drink and dance practices of worship to Rudra/Siva.
Rudra the storm god was the counterpart of the Angry God of Yahweh!

Muni Darshana, Yati Darshana, Vratyas were more or less a separate sect and gradually united under the JOGI sect. Jina monastic order has a Muni order who keep long Jata (matted hair) and bun on head. Jina and Tirthankara's beliefs were incorporated into Saivite's philosophy.

The ancient ascetic tradition of Natha is also known as Yogi (Jogi). The first Natha is Shiva as in Jain is Adinatha. Shiva is self-illuminated, infinite, and imperishable God. Nathas are descendants of the tradition of Mahasiddhas (the practice of renunciation and vairagya). Nathas transferred knowledge through lineage from Guru-Shishya parampara. Dattatreya is the principal deity of the Natha. The sub cults of Natha are Kapalika, Buddha tantra, Shakta, Aghor tantra etc.

The Upanishadic tradition was the group of wandering ascetics called Vadins. That was the called Arayanaka texts because they were written in the jungle. Upanishads promote nontheistic notions, are not based on any mata/sampradaya, and differ from Brahmana texts. Many of the Upanishadic writers were Sramanas. Many of them were recognized with their mothers' names and in most cases, they were Apsaras. The Sramanas were the basis of Jainism, Ajivikism, and Buddhism.

Ajivaka rose to a great height in the Mauryan empire as Bindusara was an adherent as was the mother of Asoka. Asoka gave many grants to Ajivaka also. Asoka was born Ajivaka, converted to Buddhism before becoming the king and he was Buddhist when the Kalinga war happened! After the Kalinga war, he became Ajivaka again and finally returned to Buddhism under Nyogrodha's guidance.

At Vedic time Indra, Agni, Varuna, and other gods were prominent and as the time progressed towards Brahmana, Siva and Vishnu got prominence.

The other Mata like Charvaka was the Anti-Vedic branch that held no god, no rebirth, no karma, no fruits, no liberation, no merits, and no sin. Just enjoy life!

Vedic beliefs lied in the heart of village people that’s why it survived all through. They didn’t need any royal patronage or rich grants to flourish unlike Buddhism, Ajivikism, and other panthas and sampradayas.

Again, I am reiterating the fact that there was NO religion ever existed in Epic India. It was different beliefs and matas in a society.

Dharma is the fundamental principle that upholds cosmic order, righteousness, and moral duty. Dharma fosters balance among all aspects of life—personal, social, and spiritual—guiding individuals toward rightful actions that sustain both material success and inner growth.
