Life is a repetitive loop. From the very first breath repetition is central to our experience. Breathing, heartbeat, eating, sleeping a repetitive loop. Solar systems and galaxies are in a loop dancing away in the Big Plan. Shiva's dance is endless, repetitive and cyclic When this cycle ends, so does life itself.
Repetitive thoughts dancing in your head space create grooves in your consciousness and keep echoing throughout your life in the form of feelings, experiences, events, and relationships. Your Life reflects your inner vibrational cycles. whatever is present on your inner radar, you keep bumping into that on the outside world. The texture and quality of your living experiences solely depend on your internal loop. Repetitive ideas do rounds within families, communities, and nations. Consciousness is stuck, so Stuckness spontaneously gets passed down to the next generations and continues. Vedas say 'The world is the projection of your mind'
The Nature of Repetition
Repetition is not just a fact; it shapes our understanding of life. Spiritual traditions in India, teach that human life follows a cyclical pattern of birth, death, and rebirth. This cyclic Reality applies to all creation. Solar systems, planets, and galaxies follow the same cycle too. This observation by ancient Indian sages highlights how our thoughts and actions tend to return to us, forming a cycle that traps us in predictable outcomes unless we actively seek transformation. Breaking the rut needs something radical. A deep awareness of the inner repetitive dynamics can certainly set you free. Deep awareness is a radical happening.
Breaking Free from the Rut
To escape the unending cycle, a strong commitment to oneself. Initially, the mind resists change, creating discomfort that often sets off a spiritual quest.
Many seek relief through meditation or inner work, aiming to soothe the suffering caused by these repetitive patterns. While these practices can bring temporary respite, they will not ignite the profound transformation necessary to break the larger cycle of suffering. Real change demands bold action and strong commitment.
The Radical Shift
This radical commitment shifts you to tending to your spiritual needs as an integral part of life and not as an isolated and vague activity you do occasionally.
The integral part of your being to nurture your core anchors you to your divine reality, despite life’s chaos. Over time, with the reception of grace, your inner stillness and external movement become one You engage with life’s rhythms without losing your sense of self. You will know what Real life looks and feels like.
Dancing Through Life
Dance, Natraj is the symbolism of the constant unending flux of creation. Life is a dance where you are both the dancer and the dance itself. Anchoring to the inner divine reality (Shiva, the cosmic dancer) and dancing to the repetitive physical reality like Shiva Himself. The symbolism of Shiva's Damru is a drum (the word drum comes from 'Damru') representing the cosmic rhythm of existence. By grace you start anchoring to the divine energy within and the dynamic world outside, and the seeming paradoxes start to merge, uniting polarities into a singularity. Then your worldly life becomes life divine and vice versa. Not two. All one. Sab Ek.
This sacred union can only flourish through the grace of a living guru. Grace severs the identification of daily experiences. From a burdened life to a sense of freedom and joy, embracing each moment.
Live fully.
Life is for living. There is no other purpose to it. Life demands of you that you live fully. All other purposes are man-made. You are not here to help, dispense wisdom, or shine others' way. You are meant to live your life fully. Then what needs to happen will happen. People do Spiritual practices with tightly shut hearts, with a sense of entitled and holier than others mindset. True spirituality will set you free in an instant. then your life becomes a living practice the art of becoming a receptacle of grace. That sounds about right for a cosmic game called Life which is set around repetition.
The true purpose of life emerges when you are willing to live beyond the programming. When you can stay anchored to your inner reality, navigating your life becomes graceful, even amidst repetition. It is a state of Grace. You can only receive it.
Embedding radical spirituality (staying open and receptive to the guru's grace) allows you to find freshness in the familiar. This shift happens with the guru’s grace and guidance. Life becomes a celebration of the ordinary and your heart and spirit are infused with a sense of wonder and innocence.
Receive...that all there is to it
In a repetitive life, the spiritual challenge lies not in escaping but in transforming your relationship with it.
Welcoming life's endless cycle opens a door to knowing the mind mechanism in such great detail that it loses its hold on you. That will make you more alive, more present and in sync with LIFE itself. That is true spirituality. Repetitive life can be filled with meaning and joy. As you learn to dance through life with abandon, you realize that although the key to breaking free and appreciating existence lies within you, this key is given to you by a living guru. It is essentially a reception. not an accomplishment.
I cannot feed you a false sense of spirituality.
May you become receptive
Receive. You will have it then
Know yourself. Can you see yourself without a mirror?
