Many people have doubts about instinct, divine guidance, and self-realization. Questions like “How does instinct work?”, “Can we receive everything just by praying?” and “Who am I?” often arise. This blog will explain these concepts and how meditation and yogam (spiritual practice) can help you gain clarity.
How Does Instinct Work?
Instinct does not speak often; it only communicates once. In contrast, the mind is constantly noisy and filled with thoughts that may not always be rational. The best way to recognize your instinct is through regular meditation.
Meditation and Instinct
- Meditation helps you silence the mind and listen to your inner voice.
- When you meditate regularly, you develop insight and a deep awareness beyond logical thinking.
- Instinct is not something you “think”; it is something you feel and realize.
If you want to connect with your instinct, start practicing meditation daily.
Can We Get Everything by Praying to God?
A common question is whether we can receive everything simply by wishing for it or if we can attain things without asking. The truth is that it is not wrong to ask, nor is it wrong to remain silent.
Two Approaches to Receiving Blessings
- Those with little knowledge ask and receive.
- They pray to God and get what they need.
- Those with greater knowledge do not ask, yet they receive.
- This happens because they align themselves with what they desire.
When you become what you seek, you naturally attract it. Instead of just asking, practice yogam and focus on self-transformation—what you seek will come to you effortlessly.
Who Am I?
One of the greatest spiritual questions is: “Who am I?”
Understanding the Question
- The mind asks the question, not the true self.
- The word “I” represents ego or arrogance.
- In reality, only the divine exists.
When you destroy the false sense of “I” (ego), you see the soul—your true essence.
The Power of Yogam and Meditation
Life often brings pressure and stress. If you are facing difficulties, the best way to handle them is through yogam and meditation.
How to Practice
- Spend at least 10 minutes daily in meditation.
- Use the Tamil letter ‘Ayutha Eluthu’ (ஃ) as a mantra.
- When you pronounce it, your tongue touches the upper palate, activating a spiritual center called Sirsabai.
- Focus on the center between your eyebrows.
- This helps you unlock the divine light within.
At first, your mind will be restless during meditation—it is natural. The mind always runs. When thoughts arise, acknowledge them, convince the mind to settle, and refocus.
The Importance of Diet in Spirituality
A vegetarian diet is considered beneficial for spiritual growth. However, it is important to consume the right nutrients to stay healthy. Spiritual individuals should ensure they get enough protein and essential nutrients from plant-based sources.
