Going beyond the mind to the Source

Mindfulness is a term used to bring knowledge and practice of meditation to the West. It means being aware of our thoughts, feelings, sensations, and surroundings in the present moment. The mind is active in this awareness, although at peace and without judgment. The peace with our thoughts in the Now is essential and is being taught in schools and workplaces. Still, it is deliberately separated from the spiritual experience of meditation – the meditation of the Eastern traditions, which leads to emptiness, silence, and stillness—a no-mind state of mindlessness.

Seekers on their spiritual journey, join us to truly experience going from mindfulness to mindlessness under the teachings of AikamJi. He says a child, when born, doesn’t know anything, but gradually, we instill knowledge into them, and they start to become aware and mindful as they experience the world. Mindlessness is understood as no mind – when the mind has surrendered, a state of thoughtlessness, i.e., Samadhi (in Sanskrit).

For the one following the path of spirituality, the seeker becomes aware that they are not the doer. They have faith that whoever has created them will take care of them. They become aware that there is something else who is controlling them. When this kind of surrender happens, it is the mindlessness stage. A meditator flows with everything happening or changing around them, creating space for everything to reveal itself.

Following the path of surrender, the disciple understands that it is all about self and nothing else; they become one with the Source/creator, and there’s no difference (advait or non-duality). Aikam – this is the mindless stage.

It is this mindless stage where the law of abundance and the laws of attraction manifest, hence completing the cycle of being mindful of what you manifest.

Guru Ji says that to reach this path; we must realize that true mindfulness awareness arises from the mindless stage. So mindlessness is the seed of mindfulness, targeting the highest truth and completing the whole journey.
