\nTypically,\nwhen you are born to parents who belong to a certain religion, you\nare said to become part of that religion. This does not apply to the\nVedic Sanatana Hindu Dharma. The criteria for one to belong to this\nway of life is not birth, but what cognition one carries about them\nand what cognition of themselves they are striving towards. This\nimplies that anyone can be a Hindu and also someone who was born to\nHindu parents need not necessarily be considered Hindu.<\/p>\n\n\n
The\n8th<\/sup>\nverse of the Isa Upanishad, introduces you to you.\n<\/p>\n\n\n \nIt\nstates \u201cPure Consciousness is all-pervasive, beyond the coming and\ngoing, absolute, radiant, self-effulgent, un-embodied, boundary less,\nwhole, wound less, muscle less, having no incompletion with the body.<\/p>\n\n\n \nConsciousness\nis the ever pure space devoid of the dirt of ignorance, and is\nuntouched by the delusion of incompletion.<\/p>\n\n\n \nConsciousness\nis the all-knowing seer of all, the lord of all minds, Consciousness\ntranscends all beings,\n<\/p>\n\n\n \nConsciousness\nis self-effulgent by itself, with its independent will and\nintelligence, having no cause for its happening.<\/p>\n\n\n \nIt\nis Pure Consciousness that from time eternal, has enriched the ages\nand each being, by ordaining desirable responsibilities onto them, as\nper their nature and space, and their actions and results thereof.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n The\none has already cognized themselves as per this Isavasya Upanishad\nverse, or one who is working towards altering their cognition as this\nUpanishad verse describes about them, is a Hindu.<\/p>\n\n\n The\nreligions which want numbers to be their priority, which are used for\npolitical power, or a power game on the society, they all give the\nright, just by birth you belong to that religion. In the Vedic\ntradition, Hindu tradition, we never used our religion for political\npower. We will never use our religion for political power. This\nreligion is a spiritual tradition, and it\u2019ll continue to remain as\na spiritual tradition, it\u2019ll retain it\u2019s purity.\n<\/p>\n\n\n We\nnever declare just by birth somebody\u2019s Hindu; only by practicing,\nyou become Hindu and belong to Vedic tradition. You don\u2019t need to\nbe born to be Hindu.\n<\/p>\n\n\n Whoever\ncognizes themselves as consciousness as Upanishads declare in this\nverse and whoever is trying to cognize themselves as Upanishads\ndeclare in this verse, they are Hindus.<\/p>\n\n\n You\nare \u201cPure Consciousness which is all pervasive, beyond the coming\nand going.\u201d This is what is supposed to be your cognition about\nyou. Whatever is denying this cognition, what all the other\ncognitions you are carrying other than this, whatever cognitions are\ndenying you being all-pervasive and beyond the coming and going\u201d,\npen down them and find the root of those patterns.<\/p>\n\n\n So\nthis (I am Pure Consciousness which is all pervasive, beyond the\ncoming and going) should be my cognition, what else do I have as my\nexperience of me, cognition of me? Where am I denying my experience\nas Upanishad declares me as me?\n<\/p>\n\n\n Beyond\ncoming and going means birthless, deathless, you don\u2019t come to some\nplace and go away from that place. So what is it which is constantly\nmaking you believe you come and go? What is the pattern you need to\ncomplete to make you realize you are beyond coming and going? Sit\nand list those patterns and complete with them.<\/p>\n\n\n You\nwill see suddenly in 3, 4 days, you will understand millions of\nincompletions merging into one or two patterns, into ignorance, into\npowerlessness, and the powerlessness giving way to powerfulness.<\/p>\n\n\n Internalizing\nitself leads you to liberation!<\/p>\n\n\n Based on satsangs delivered by rare Living Incarnation Bhagavan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam<\/p>\n\n\nWho\nis a Hindu?<\/h3>\n\n\n
