The primary focus remains the Spiritual Teachings and Knowledge. The teachings are not religious here. We do not speak or write about the actual journey rather it's for the seeker to be connected by virtue or mind, and the rest follows. Each one follows their own religion as we do not ask anyone to convert to any Religion. We respect each one's Religion, and the understanding is based on the basics of Humanity.
Rules : Breaking any one or a number of these points requires purification within a short period of time. The most optimal is to purify this difficulty within one day. From among the various practices offered, an effective and simple method concerns the Realization, Sincere Regret, Forgiveness with God and Teacher, work towards amendment. This practice involves the flow of Light throughout the body by which all defilement and broken commitments will be purified. Due to conscious and unconscious reasons one often breaks the rules. It is therefore recommended to apply this practice at least once or twice a day.
The path demands detachment from most relationships around you. This can be of your parent, loved ones, friends, business, love, child or even the spouse.
The marital relationship is accepted, however, if the energy of the spouse is pessimistic and leads towards darkness and dishonesty than the relationship will be severed until realization, regret, and amendment is made seeking constant forgiveness. This is in the interest of the individual body as the unwilling energy can create disruption and bring in a tremendous shift of confusion trying to deviate from the right path. The relationship, therefore, entangles into a war between the forces of the Dark and the Light. Ultimately, the Light gains victory if the individual seeks is stuck in a situation where the soul is in constant contact towards the Divine Designs and unable to understand the Evil Traps laid to destroy the seeker. I can put this as ' A fort is attacked by the Forces of the opponent. Therefore, such relationships will be severed to safeguard and protect the Fort which is attacked by the enemy forces. However, everything will be the decision of the Divine. Acceptance and Surrender to every decision in the best interest taken is the key to success.
In the last years, I have never seriously written anything about the path except for what each individual is aware of by way of Existing Books or borrowed knowledge or perhaps what can be understood. The path which is known and heard by all is of the books in riddles however rest remains a mystery to the many others.
Enlightenment is established by acceptance and the way of the teacher "Preserve the life-force of that empowerment within your being" However, if any kind of impurity is sensed than the teacher will ' Withdraw the life force of empowerment within your being' . Lately, we have stopped such energy transmissions due to many not keeping to the disciplines and the rules.
In the School of Divine Abode, there is no fixed type of following or any Books or any Syllable. The path is designed by God, Allah or Durga. The way or the practice for each is as per the Time, and the Divine remains the Path Teller and the teacher or the initiator will guide the seekers once she receives the message and guidance.
The decision to write down this day is due to the many failures of the seekers and their confused state of mind. They feel confused by the rules, the cold withdrawal of the teacher, the silence at times, the exiting in the middle of the storm, the sudden calamity, the predictions of an event, etc. To make sure that anyone who comes to the School of Divine Abode must first practice the doctrines of Ikhlas ( Purity ). The Purity of Body, Speech and Mind. If you do not or feel that it is difficult than its better to remain where one is and not to seek the road that leads the soul towards the Divine Abode. The School of Ikhlas.
Most have a common explanation that it's very hard to control the mind as the teacher is the distraction. Remember that can also be a test to your senses. Why not see it this way? However, I would like the seekers take the road towards Reality, and perhaps this can help them to find the answers to the many questions. For the others if you have indulged in any of the following than the answer to the many questions in your mind is answered. One may feel that one is highly spiritual. However, do not be deceited to your ego and progress towards the ego and pride for false spirituality.
The initiation is a set of vows or precepts given as an individual as part of the empowerment or initiation that creates a bond between the teacher and disciple.
According to you can define as:
A particular system of teaching or doctrines
The conduct required, often as a set of vows or commitments.
The realization of truth
In sync, with the body, speech and mind
In the last few years, I have seen the root causes of downfalls for most of them who have walked down the path.
In one of the most widely followed teachings, I have outlined the primary points of observance to consider in keeping one's vow "pure."
These vow to pertain specifically to the practices; they are incurred after one has received an approval from the teacher.
1. Physically harming or slandering the teacher from whom one received the approval - The following conditions must be present under the conditions to be broken: one must be fully sensitive about one's actions and intend them, be conscious that they will displease the teacher, and fail to regret them.
With intention but no follow-through, only a breach is committed. Further, the severity of the breach is considered minute, medial or considerable depending on whether or not the extent of the breach by mind, thought and action is minute, mean, extreme.
2.Opposing the words of the teacher - Denigrating the Divine teachings.
3. Strong negative emotions towards one’s brothers and sisters - Becoming strongly hostile to men and women who have received approval from the same teachers as oneself.
4. Abandoning loving kindness and compassion for sentient beings
5. Abandoning the teaching in aspiration or application
6.Criticizing other Religions and traditions including the path initiated.
7. Revealing secrets to those who are unworthy "If one describes the meaning of great bliss as taught to individuals who do not possess the required educational background, they might misunderstand and abuse these teachings. "
8. Mistreating one’s body "The merciful body is the support for divine practice, the basis upon which realization of the truth is attained. With respect to the truth, the compassionate body is considered to be an important instrument on the path. Therefore, exposing the body to extreme conditions such as whipping, burning or destroying it by Alcohol, impatience, Materialism, Desire, Sex, Non Vegetarian Food, Abusive Language, Jealousy, Vindictiveness, Vengeance, Revenge, contributes to the breaking of the vow.
9. Abandoning emptiness. Keeping bad company Associating with spiritual corrupters
10. Failing to reflect on emptiness and self-pride
12. Upsetting those who have faith in the teachings and condemn of their path or their faith in the teacher.
13. Failing to observe the Ikhlas commitments "During specific occasions the qualified teacher will require that the student carry out certain chores or errands or practice. This is requested in order to test whether or not conventional concepts are relinquished. If, due to moral tendencies, one hesitates or refrains from carrying out any of the tests put forward, this contributes to the breaking of the path.
14. Denigrating women "Women are considered to be the embodiment of wisdom. Regarding women as inferior or abusing them as witnessed in most cultures, contributes to the breaking of the initiation.
16. Feeling aroused in the presence of the teacher. Sensual dreams related to the teacher / guide, Intentions to forget the real intention and proposing marriage or confessing love for the teacher and feel satisfied that the intention was pure.
17. Slandering the teachers and students relationship with doubts and illetimate thoughts. Gossiping and Speaking ill of the teacher.
19. Trying to create a relationship of Sister, Brother, Friend, Girlfriend, etc. with the teacher. As the path is of detachment not of any attachment.
20. Disrespectful by way of speech, act, thought is the path which has caused the destruction.
21. Lack of Charity, Service and self-centered. Greedy, Intention to possess, Blame game, Failing to recognize faults of oneself, judgement, Communal, etc.
As clearly said the constant effort to close all doors of the home is the way to let not any of the destructive thoughts coming down the path.
Root and Branch
If violated would remove all the benefit from practicing. This would diminish or impair the benefit of practice. This can be extremely harmful to the seeker.
If the teacher obstinately refuses to grant an instruction to a qualified disciple, this constitutes an infraction of the path. It is proper for the teacher to show some hesitation by not consenting on the first request in order to arouse and examine the disciple. It is not a ploy to see if the teacher can extract any material goods rather provides time to examine the student's mind-stream.
Once a student is thrown into the deep sea than there is no way the student can get back. The Student will have to swim and reach the shore. In such stance its better for the teacher to take time and assess the capacity and the sincerity of thoughts of the student. Many are still struggling to reach the shore however few have managed to survive.
In the lineage, the three principles are categorized as body, speech, and mind. Each requires refraining from non-virtue as well as maintaining a sacred views. Maintaining a sacred views generally means to view all beings and all phenomenon as one. The virtue of the body is to refrain from non-virtue with respect to the body. The speech is to avoid non-virtuous speech, and also to never forget one's commitment to practicing the recitation of the mantra given to each as per each one's religious practice by birth. The mind is to refrain from divulging the secrets and to always maintain the view that one's mind is dedicated to the Divine Ways and the Design of the Divine Missions.
Repairing Damaged Practice:
According to me, there are four increasing stages in which one's practice or path may be damaged: "infraction, breach, violation, and complete break." Once damaged, it can or may be repaired. However, if it is left without mend for more than three years, it is not repairable.
In the path assigned here it is easily damaged. I understand that it is very hard to maintain the rules, and it is like keeping a mirror or tile washed that is lifted up into a sand storm; dust settles on it as soon as it is clean, and we must continuously clean it.
It can also be explained as the wind and storm blows outside and one is constantly closing all the doors and windows of their home yet the power from the wind opens the windows, and one is constantly closing every open window.
The mend is possible if the teacher or the initiator with the will of the Divine restores mindfulness and awareness of sacred view; confess the violation, and follow the methods determined by the teacher. However, the amendment method can be frequently tougher than the previous initiation. And if the second time the student / seeker violates than the turn of events, punishment is greatly harder. However, repair, initiation is in the hands or the control of the Divine.
If it is required at times its better to speak to some of the few earlier students who perhaps can also show the dangers of the path if the mind cannot be controlled. Such information of students will be given if there is a need on the condition of not disclosing and maintaining privacy of the other student.
The same rule applies on this site too. If you agree to the terms kindly proceed.
