Translation of the book 'MARANAM PARAMANANDATHINTE THAKKOL',written by Anand Unnithan.Translated by: Krishna(Krishnankutty Nair).

MEDITATION – TOWARDS ETERNITY OF BLISS
The word ‘meditation’ brings to mind the Asanas (The special way of sitting or standing while practicing yoga) or Mudras(Yogic gestures made with hand while practicing yoga). But how many of them know meditation through experience?
Yes. Meditation has various stages. It extends from quietening the disturbed mind to experiences beyond human levels.
Many of them have been proven scientifically.
Remember, while chanting or listening mantras (incantations) in the vedic (The four ancient texts of India) style, there forms extraordinary energetic/magnetic layers around the doer.
They appear as the interference of super human-ness upon human system.
(But almost all the mantras which are devised to-day cannot claim this greatness. Maybe, it is due to the reason that they are created at human levels.)
Old mantras may be the outcome of the worshipful-ness of self-realized souls.
I myself had direct experiences of this. For quite some time, I was under treatment for feeling a burning sensation on my entire body. And also acute tiredness and severe head ache. During that period, I happened to listen Mrithyunjaya Mantra and Shanthy Mantra (Vedic mantras) which was quite unexpected. I felt that I was being pulled away by the mantras.
Then I slipped into a state of deep meditation.
I experienced that I was sitting here on the earth in meditation – which is not usual- and the Earth and myself moving round and round with the same speed.
Suddenly the pleasant vibrations owing to change of energetic levels rushed into me.
At last the few moments which made me realize myself and the universe ended.
When I returned, the pain and heat had vanished! And not only that, but I felt myself as more healthy and energetic.
Yes. Those sounds had made me an extraordinary wave.
With the thought process ceased, I had become meditation.
Then in the power of the Cosmic Energy, I got cured.
It is not the mantra which gave that energy.
It was just taking me to meditation as a fresh wavelet.
And when that wavelet happened to communicate with that great energy which separate and unite and control the stars and globes and atoms, it happened.
That great energy is like a rain which originates on its own and rains ceaselessly.
But man walks below the umbrella of thoughts, without getting wet in that rain.
As soon as he removes that umbrella, he begins to get wet in that rain.
That rain cools, cleans and energizes him with vitality.
Yes. Without getting wet in that rain, it will not happen. And you cannot get wet in that rain, if there is that umbrella above you.
When he become an open basin leaving away all thoughts, then that energy will fill in him.
When he fills with the Energy, it overflows from him. That is, it flows outwards of him.
In that way, he becomes a magnetic field.
And even those who happen to enter in that magnetic field will also experience it.
While seeing the real yogis, people say: ‘What a liveliness! Did not become conscious of the passing of time, while he was speaking. How bright his eyes are! How attractive his gaze is!’
Remember. The great cosmic energy works always in each human being, although he does not know it.
Only the self-conscious people can have total faith in the activity.
Man sleeps after the hard works of the day. Even then, a small portion of the great energy enters into him.
But through meditation, he himself becomes a channel of that great energy. And it fills in him and then flows to the surroundings.
The flow of that energy occurs in small measure during some other times too.
While going through unfamiliar circumstances, while enjoying the sea and river and stars and desert and jungle and sky, while enjoying sex as an intense, real and unfeigned experience, in deep love, in extra-ordinary climatic experiences like heavy rain and dense fog and cool wind and thunder and lightening, the cosmic energy will fill in us.
When our conscious mind involves in enjoys something wholly, no thought will occur and that is the reason for such a flow of energy during those times.
Your thoughts temporarily come to an end in a thunder and lightening. A cool wind takes you to a pleasant state of experience.
At those times, you will not like to think anything. Because you are fully merged with the happy situation.
And without your knowledge, you will be getting momentary visions of the soul.
And during all these times, the cosmic energy will be flowing into you.
But you cannot continue in that state. Because, by this time, the mind would have started thinking.
And the result is the end of that great flow of energy.
You are keeping yourselves swathed.
Even then, momentary visions of the soul and brief flows of the great energy into you is happening regularly, although you are unaware of it.
Yes. The awakening to the constancy of that awareness is meditativeness.
It is actually meditation itself.
Yes. Never be a slave to the techniques of meditation, but awake into meditativeness.
But it does not mean that the procedures and techniques are irrelevant.
Definitely they are relevant and necessary.
But it is not necessary for everyone.
Science is discovering many things at some or other point of time in the process of its growth.
Some people use different names to meditation.
People like Dr. Herbert Bendon speaks about relaxation response. It is said that doing relaxation technique for ten or twenty minutes every day, the negative effects of stress will be cured.
Yes. Science is advancing.
Science says. “During meditation, blood pressure and heart beat and breathing will become normal and negative emotions like desperation, disappointment, anger etc. will be suppressed.
Science relates it to the working of the brain.
In a person, in whom desperation, fear etc. are abnormally high, the Right Frontal Cortex of his brain will be more active. The Left Frontal Cortex of such people will be of lesser use.
But in such people, who are almost always happy and possess the energy of positive emotions, Left Frontal Cortex will be more active.
Based on the functioning of these left and right parts, the mental state of each person is being determined.
Yes. Science is progressing.
The left frontal cortex of that person, who meditates always, will become more active while the functioning of his right frontal cortex will be slowing down.
And this will bring peace and calmness and happiness in a person, while keeping away the undesirable emotions.
Yes. This change has been proven scientifically.
Meditation leads to genetic changes.
Yes. Science has to develop a lot more.
Where do the dying stars go? How do they come alive again?
Which energy interrupts and halts them?
But what is the relation between meditation and these phenomena?
Yes. Definitely, there is relation. It is the same Cosmic Energy which functions in man too.
Therefore it is necessary to learn more about the states of energy and magnetism, both small and big.
Compounding two salts, a scientist may be able to make a different salt. But is he able to create a salt from nothingness?
Yes. The Cosmic Energy is borne on its own.
Let it be anything. Let it be due to any reason.
Yet, we have to deliberate over certain activities.
We know that life is a reality. Also know that everyone has to leave their bodies one day.
But do you think that when man departs, he leaves all his unfulfilled desires here in this earth?
And live here are the relatives of the deceased, who fulfil his desires in order to enable him to attain salvation.
But how many people know as to what happened to the deceased person?
The important thing is that each life is a separate line of activity.
Based on that line of activity, every life reincarnates.
Only after knowing this in detail that a person will be able to decide the way in which he has to live.
After making so many calculations, it is understood that the trinity of creation, sustenance and destruction occurs on the basic of the results of accumulated Karma.
Yes. Death and life and re-birth are significant.
Otherwise, meditation will become only an amusement of mind.
Remember. An individual is the line of his own activity. And accordingly, he accepts new births.
Then God become just.
On the other hand, if there are good and bad births, then God is not just.
Yes. My God is the greatest among the Justs.
If a person is virtuous and does good deeds, he gets noble births. And the sinner gets wretched births.
Certainly, it is not within the control of humans.
Yes. The power which decides births is the same power which separate and unites and controls the stars and atoms.
And those who do not realize it, weeps and puts rice in the mouth of that body which is renounced by the soul!
To believe in the line of Karma, one has to believe in death and the path after death and reincarnation.
One can believe in rebirth only when he realizes the truth that the soul is eternal.
And to realize it, the person has to face death.
He who happened to know death and then returned to life will have faith in the eternity of soul.
Yes. He had gone beyond death.
Otherwise, he would never have believed it, even if someone had explained it a thousand times.
Another thing is that some people retain the memories of the previous birth!
And the discoveries of these people, after locating the background of the previous birth, have since been approved by science.
Some people possess memories from the previous birth.
Some of them experience it much early in their lives.
A seven year old boy discloses that he was a woman of thirty years in the previous birth and was murdered and her dwellng place was a far away village where her husband and children are still residing and she was murdered by her husband’s younger brother and so on and so forth.
Thereafter the child goes away and search out the relatives of his last birth. And on the strength his revelations of incidents and secret talks of the past, the relatives of his former birth admit that what he says is true.
And everyone admits that he is the re-birth of that woman!
We have witnessed a number of such incidents.
And yet we say that the ghost of the great grandfather has possessed the little grandmother!
It is as if the great grandfather is wandering around without any work!
As if he can wander as he likes and the laws of divinity is not applicable to him!
If that is the case, he could have taken birth as a beautiful multi-millionare and wiped out poverty from the face of earth.
Anyway, the incidents like the one narrated above, point out the immortality of the soul.
Another thing is facing death.
Sometimes, those who had brain death returns to life later.
Here we will have to believe that when we took them as dead, their consciousness was alive. And like an eye-witness, they explain the incidents which took place around them while they were dead.
If their consciousness had perished, how can they do so?
If we go through the studies made to discover as to what happens after death, we can find out thousands of experiences of having overridden death.
Even then people say” ‘I don’t believe in these. If I happen to return after death, then I will believe.’
What efficient fools they are!
But to them, who is at least prepared to study this although they do not believe in it, these are all evidences.
Yes. While realizing the immortality of soul, one has to believe in the line of Karma.
Even while believing in line of Karma, people ask. ‘Will the line of Karma vanish if we meditate?’
Remember. Line of Karma is like a firefly. When Sun dawns, the firefly loses its charm. Line of Karma too disappears like that.
You see, a giant is a line of Karma.
But he gets salvation on getting killed by God.
The line of Karma of the giant is a collection of harmful deeds.
As soon as Divinity reacts and fills in him, his line of Karma ends.
Haven’t you heard? Great Yogi and the perpetual hunter of worldly pleasures get deliverance. The most saintly person and the cruelest man get deliverance.
Remember. Meditation melts the burden of previous karma.
Move around own breath. Bend and turn and observe consciousness.
Do not consider meditation as something for pleasure alone. Consider it as a bomb in your hand, smouldering to explode at any time.
Think as to what will happen if it explodes.
But be quiet and peaceful during all these.
Yes. That, which separates and stops and controls the stars and atoms, is the science behind everything.
Those who grasp this fact awake to meditativeness. And meditation takes them to bliss eternal.

Just ponder over a single moment. ..
I talk. You talk. Animals and birds make noises. The sound of wind. The sound of vehicles and machineries.
Crores and crores of sounds.
All these come together as the great noise which surrounds Earth.
And at last, that noise too melts into eternity.
But why? What for?
Eternal…..unknown… inexplicable.
And this itself is its taste and flavour.
The knowledge one gains while being within each nature is limited.
Knowledge is bliss. But man, as said by that great man, tries to define the unlimited, staying within limits!
In front of him are more closed doors than the open ones.
Still, let us continue the journey - through eternity to explain the unknown!

AWAKENING TO GODLINESS – THE RIGHT OF THE SOUL
Translation of the book 'MARANAM PARAMANANDATHINTE THAKKOL',written by Anand Unnithan.Translated by: Krishna(Krishnankutty Nair). 8
AWAKENING TO GODLINESS – THE RIGHT OF THE SOUL
Everyone has
a right to it. Let him be a monk who discarded everything, or the family man
who leads an ascetic life, or even the vulgar and drunkard Paramu Vellikkara (Name of a person).
Because we
are all human souls which functions from within the divinity called supreme
soul.
Yes. God is
my root.
Then I am
God.
And the
evidence to it?
Please look.
The biggest evidence is the great men, the achievers of super human powers
through meditation. isn’t?
Please note
that when I say achievers of super human powers, I did not mean all those
priests or saints or sorcerers. I meant only those who achieved super human
powers through meditation.
He can be a
priest or a saint or a sorcerer.
Or may be an
auto –rickshaw driver who leads an ordinary life.
Or it may be
a notorious harlot.
Yes. It
doesn’t matter as to who it is. The only
thing is that the person must have super human powers attained through
meditation.
The power of
meditation is divinity itself. There is no sense in bowing in front of
phonies. It neither gives nor enables to experience meditational powers.
And when it cannot be possessed after going for it, it will make the person dejected.
What a disgrace! Leaving off with great difficulty the habit of getting drunk,
he went to meditate, but after meditation returned by the next bus without
achieving anything! What a pity? Moreover, he was persuaded by them to pay a sum of ten thousand rupees
to their charity fund! Will he get a heavenly reward at least for that noble
deed!
There is no
sense in laughing at ignorance, I agree.
Yet, I write this hoping that those who are still asleep may wake up and
begin to think reasonably after reading this.
if a person
helps anyone to get the blessing of God or to reach heaven, then remember that
the person also will be in the chain of the same activity.
But even a
small prayer of the person, who has reached the plane of divinity, will be a blessing of God.
His words
will become true.
Yes. The
words of that person, who has reached the plane of divinity will have super human powers.
But he will
not curse anyone, since his aim is universal well-being. The divinity in him
will not allow that.
Yet, those who
give pain to them will have to face danger. It is purely the will of God.
But it will
not gladden the soul-conscious men.
Not only
that. He will also pray for the
well-being of those people who pained him.
Yes. They are
the lives which are conscious of all the three worlds. Earth, heaven and hell.
They are Gods
themselves.
But if one
sits for hours together in some yogic posture calling God, will it give
salvation?
These are
thoughts delivered immature. Because,
thoughts delivered after getting developed fully in mind will contain both
questions and answers.
But only the
soul-conscious people are able to think that way.
Others will
go on delivering immature thoughts.
Being
self-conscious means awakening to divinity. People, who are unconscious of
themselves, just wander observing the outside views, without thinking about
themselves.
Yet, there
will come a few moments, when he will think about his self.
Momentary
visions.
I am not
telling about thoughts like his having taken no meals.
I am telling
about that question. WHO AM I?
As said
earlier, there are many reasons which lead to it.
But once it
happens, it cannot be forgotten.
Slowly he
recognizes his own breathing. Recognizes his heart beat.
And realizes
the constant swing of soul.
This movement,
which he may experience rarely while his body is motionless, may amaze him.
And a
thousand questions without an answer may hunt him.
He may even
doubt as to who created God if God has created the world.
He may go on
searching.
The journey of
the person who believes something or other without any deep thinking will end
up in various insincere, clownish roles.
He will be
anything like an atheist or a person claiming to have spoken directly to God or
one who sprays Bhasmam (holy ash)
from the sky or a mad man.
But the
person who continues his journey with full concentration will come in contact
with different states of life, which is nothing other than the movement of the
soul, which he had come to know earlier on odd occasions.
And it will
make him blessed.
Because that
experience will become the evidence to his faith.
Further
journey will provide him with holy experiences of divinity.
But if he
longs for the recurrence
of these ecstatic experiences, it will take him away from the aim and will endanger
him.
But if he
continue the journey through Tapas
(penance), divinity will slowly flow into him.
Gradually he
will reach the state of union of Jeevatma
and Paramatma (Individual soul and
Super Soul) and will enjoy bliss eternal and reach the zone of jnana (Knowledge of the Absolute).
In the state
of eternal bliss, he will enjoy Samadhi
(the highest state of meditation) etc.
In this way,
he rises to the stage of divinity.
But even a
thought about the first step itself will be an impossibility to a person who
has no previous experience on these lines in the previous birth.
But the men
who have attained deliverance (who enjoy universal freedom) by the grace of
Almighty have designed different systems and programs for the ignorant people.
The various
paths like yoga, worship of deities, Sufism, meditation, places for worshiping
God, different methods of worship, Tanthra
(The path of mysticism and magical practices) and all other similar practices
are included in this.
All these are
meant to ensure that during the journey towards the target attention should be
focused on the target alone.
Remember that
only those incarnations which takes birth by the will of God alone can easily wake up into divinity.
Yes. Even
those who get a momentary glimpse are very fortunate indeed.
They will be
able to reach the Absolute Bliss at least after going through a number of
births.
To a few of
them, the achievement will be in a moment by the grace of God.
Yes. And wear
ochre coloured clothes if they need. Those who do not need it may wear
anything.
Let those who
desire so may establish Ashrams (The
special accommodations where only those who have spirituality as their way of
life reside) or take shelter in Ashrams
or depend on a spiritual master or make speeches on spirituality. Others, who
do not want these, may abstain from these.
Those who
want to sit without doing anything may do so.
Others, who want to do works, may do works.
Yes. Self-realization
does not mean leading a monastic life. Monastic life is only one of the paths
to reach there.
Those who
have the energy to proceed unmindful of any of the above customs or bondages
are at liberty to proceed on their own way. And those who need guidance may
take a suitable path as explained above to learn the path.
But remember
one thing. It is meditation which is the important thing.
Meditation is
not sitting with closed eyes.
It is the
continuation of awakening or awareness.
It is
self-consciousness.
It is the
state of meditativeness.
It is
divinity.
Some people
ask: “What is divinity?”
It is beyond
an explanation. How can you explain ecstasy except to say ecstasy?
It can only
be experienced. Only that person, who has experienced it, can only understand
anything said about ecstasy. What is the use in telling a blind man about
elephant and goat?
Divinity is
