THE
  MEANING
     OF
UNCONDITIONED
 HAPPINESS

    DR.
 SHRINIWAS
KASHALIKAR
The saints have often exemplified their capacity
to remain undeterred in a variety of disturbing
   situations. This state of equanimity amidst
 different tormenting circumstances is held in
         high esteem in Bhagavad Gita.

I failed to appreciate and admire and aspire for
 a state of mind akin to endogenous depression,
total surrender to situation and/or indifference.

 Now it is becoming clear that the state held so
 high is not a state of depression, surrender, or
indifference. It is the state where one has risen
   above the deceptive/disturbing influences of
  one’s perceptions resulting from general and
  special senses, endocrine and neuroendocrine
systems, autonomic nervous system, and limbic
  system. This is called VIDEHI AWASTHAA
 (trans-physical, trans-physiological and trans-
      psychological) state of consciousness.
This state is a state when the individual appears
  to be unaffected and hence unresponsive in
 every possible way. The smile on his/her face
                    never fades!

  But even as it is true that he/she does not get
   affected as an individual (because of having
    risen above petty interests and superficial
   considerations), he/she does interact with a
situation in a trans-physical, trans-physiological
  and trans-psychological way. But because the
   vehicle or the medium through which it gets
 manifested is human body, this interaction can
    be in the form of articulation e.g. Gita or
         physical (DHARMA-YUDDHA).

  In any case and in any form it is the cosmic
  wisdom that manifests through him or her!

  In many instances the actions are not at all
apparent in any form and hence called mystical.
It is not wonder that a vast majority of even
otherwise kind hearted and/or brilliant people
 can not experience or appreciate this state of
 existence and hence ridicule even a reference
                  made to it.

 The point I learned and wish to share, here; is
cosmic consciousness and its manifestations are
  infinite and subtle (and many times beyond
 one’s capacity during different developmental
  stages; to appreciate, admire or aspire for).

 The unconditioned happiness is also infinite,
subtle and a hallmark of evolved consciousness
      and not of indolence or ignorance!

  • 1. THE MEANING OF UNCONDITIONED HAPPINESS DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
  • 2. The saints have often exemplified their capacity to remain undeterred in a variety of disturbing situations. This state of equanimity amidst different tormenting circumstances is held in high esteem in Bhagavad Gita. I failed to appreciate and admire and aspire for a state of mind akin to endogenous depression, total surrender to situation and/or indifference. Now it is becoming clear that the state held so high is not a state of depression, surrender, or indifference. It is the state where one has risen above the deceptive/disturbing influences of one’s perceptions resulting from general and special senses, endocrine and neuroendocrine systems, autonomic nervous system, and limbic system. This is called VIDEHI AWASTHAA (trans-physical, trans-physiological and trans- psychological) state of consciousness.
  • 3. This state is a state when the individual appears to be unaffected and hence unresponsive in every possible way. The smile on his/her face never fades! But even as it is true that he/she does not get affected as an individual (because of having risen above petty interests and superficial considerations), he/she does interact with a situation in a trans-physical, trans-physiological and trans-psychological way. But because the vehicle or the medium through which it gets manifested is human body, this interaction can be in the form of articulation e.g. Gita or physical (DHARMA-YUDDHA). In any case and in any form it is the cosmic wisdom that manifests through him or her! In many instances the actions are not at all apparent in any form and hence called mystical.
  • 4. It is not wonder that a vast majority of even otherwise kind hearted and/or brilliant people can not experience or appreciate this state of existence and hence ridicule even a reference made to it. The point I learned and wish to share, here; is cosmic consciousness and its manifestations are infinite and subtle (and many times beyond one’s capacity during different developmental stages; to appreciate, admire or aspire for). The unconditioned happiness is also infinite, subtle and a hallmark of evolved consciousness and not of indolence or ignorance! DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
