Society sets the\nexpectation in us that there is an end to what you are doing now and\nthen you will enjoy life.  Study well, you will be fine.  Get a good\njob, you will be fine.  Get married and you will settle down.  Have a\ncar and a house, you will be fine.  Save for your retirement, you are\nfine.  Get enough insurance and so on.  On the contrary, Universe is\nexpanding all the time.  It has no tiredness and boredom.  It is easy\nto see that society trains us to be out of sync with the Universe.\nThis is at the root of our suffering.  This article talks about the\none thing that we should never stop doing.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>Where are we stuck?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>The\n9<sup>th<\/sup>\nverse of the Isa Upanishad throws light on this.  It states that\nthose who said YES to ignorance are immersed in blinding darkness;\nbut those who think they are \u201clearned\u201d, immerse themselves in\neven greater darkness.  When we declare that we \u201cknow\u201d, our\nseeking stops and that is the death knell for knowledge to get\nrevealed and express through us.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>Are there people who are not in this trap?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>An\nenlightened being is one who has broken this societal trap.  An\nenlightened being is a person whose mind has disappeared so (s)he\nconstantly goes through new experiences and expands by continuously\nseeking.  The key word is \u201cseeking.\u201d  In who the capacity \u2018not\nto seek\u2019 has disappeared is an enlightened being.\n<\/p>\n\n\n<p>In\nus, still there is a part of our mind which can put us in boredom or\ntiredness.  This can make us stop seeking one day.  This is why we\nare still seekers.  If the seeking becomes eternal, there will be no\npart of the mind that exists to make us bored or tired.  This ensures\nthat one will be a seeker forever.  That state makes one an\nenlightened being.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>The Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Universe\nis a happening.  Even all enlightened beings continue to seek.  If\neven enlightened beings are expanding, seeking, happening, then, you\nshould be seeking.  Kill all parts of you trying to become stagnant.\nAny stagnation is disease.  With your body, if you are able to bend\n40 degrees, make it at least 41 degrees the next day; don\u2019t\nstagnate.  With your mind, if you are able to understand some\nconcepts for five minutes, make it at least 6 minutes the next day.\nKilling all parts of stagnation in you by the constant inspiration\nand excitement is seeking.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>What should not ever be stopped?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Any\nmoment, if you stop seeking, you start worshipping ignorance.  Never\nstop seeking.  Seeking should become your very being.  Keep\nconstantly looking for reality.  Don\u2019t allow any stagnation; all\nstagnation is stupidity. Stagnation is stupidity.  If somebody is\nstuck, that is hell, the most cursed space.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Stop\nthe worship of ignorance, never stop your seeking for any reason. Let\nyour seeking be continued.\n<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Keep\nyour seeking alive. Awaken continuously!<\/p>\n\n\n<p><em>Based on satsangs delivered by rare Living Incarnation Bhagavan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttp:\/\/nithyananda.org\/video\/seeking-awakens-super-human-you\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Seeking Awakens the Super Human in You\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/x4wWaQtF49o?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<p>\n<em>Satsang : 18<\/em><sup><em>th<\/em><\/sup><em> April 2015<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<p>See other\nSatsangs at <a href=\"http:\/\/youtube.com\/lifeblissfoundation\"><em>http:\/\/youtube.com\/lifeblissfoundation<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Society trains us to be out of sync with the Universe.
