I am in stage 4. Yesterday I had an insight that in order to move ahead I would need to face and engage into daily activities (without identification of course) that present to myself. So only yesterday I realised that because I am no longer attached to anything, and because I became a full time observer of Maya I have surrendered myself to a state of naturally avoiding all those mundane things just because they no longer attract me. I will give you an example: instead of going out of the house and walk observing the impressions that occur by observing them I simply stay at home reading or meditating (for example) because my mind finds that there is nothing out there that will add to my being. This realisation seems to be pointing out that I'm still driven by likes and dislikes. "Why shall I go out if nothing out there causes "pleasure"? So you see my mistake? What I'm doing is just staying home because it's more appealing than going out".
I have a question regarding the perfect living master. I have read an article from you that anything that you find in your spiritual journey that helps you make progress is like finding a Guru. Be it a written article, books, YouTube clips, etc. anything can be considered a Guru. How do you go through these stages without a guru, perfect living master or guide?
But without a Guru or a perfect living master, who can help address your questions? Who do you go to for your burning questions- how do you know whether it is intuition (soul answered) or your mind answering?
Once you abide your mind in your inner Being—that is, God itself—from time to time, you will come across certain people, books, situations, etc., which will act as your Guru and push you inward toward your Being.
The spirituality in one statement is "Keep your mind inward and have feeling-realization of Being/Atma.
Once you completely surrender and turn inward, you will experience beautiful coincidences/synchronicities. Whatever you require will be added, even if that means a physical guru.
Jesus said it beautifully, "Once you realize the kingdom of heaven within you, everything is added to you"
All the answers to your burning questions will come from within as inner knowing. It will come as intuition, and you won't have any doubt about it. But are you fully surrendered within? Your primary purpose is your inner state of awareness, and then only your secondary purpose will come, which is whatever happens on the outer level.
God is the highest state of consciousness. God is not a separate entity. You experience God once you turn inward and become conscious by surrendering your mind to Being.
Sat-Sang means "association of Being." Inner Being is your Guru and God.
The absolute oneness of God, Guru and Being is the true significance of the Christian Trinity.
God – “the Father” is God as the power that governs this whole universe and the life of each individual in it.
God- “the Son” is Guru.
God – “the Holy Spirit” is our Being.
In our mind’s limited and distorted outlook, they appear to be three distinct entities. God, Guru and Being are, in reality, the one infinite and indivisible inner Being.

Annita, Thanks for sharing your experience. You can consciously engage in anything by connecting to your inner Being and let it guide you.

Girish. It's a great question!
