The shayariholic sad shayari Holistic Approach to Life, described by Yogi Bhajan, is a profound concept of a life that is full of joy. The key word in Ayurveda for this holism is ‘Jiva’. This means to live. When we are alive we experience both pleasure and pain. This is not just survival but the whole essence of life.
In fact everything is pleasure, and when it is pleasure it is also yin or yang. This means that there is always something to give, nothing to take away. This is one of the primary concepts of Ayurveda. When one is a student of the secrets of life, then this is called Yoga. This is not simply exercise but the pursuit of knowledge and self-transformation.
We have all heard about the voice of wisdom. In Ayurveda there is a term called Shastra. It literally means’science of knowledge’. Knowledge in general is either ‘tha’ which is the intellect, ‘ru’ which is energy, and ‘kha’ which is action or sensation.
According to Yogi Bhajan the voice of wisdom is the inner guidance which we all need, even those of us who follow the conventional path of life. There are various paths to a life of holiness and truth. One of these is Jnana, the study of scriptures. Knowledge is the basis for the entire process of life. As we grow in knowledge we move nearer to our ultimate goal, which is ‘Nirvana’. This is the ultimate goal of yoga.
In order to achieve nirvana, we must go through three major stages. First we have an awakening, or shakti. Shakti means first the turning of the inner eye, then knowledge and finally self realization. The higher the spiritual realization, the more we will be separated from the ‘I’. Only when we have fully awakened do we start on the path of shayari holic.
We start by realizing that we are the physical creation or soul of this material world, and that we have been given ‘divine intelligence’ or ‘divine consciousness’. This intelligence is ‘Prana’, the energy that moves all things by attraction and repulsion. When this energy is ‘Pranic’ or ‘energetic’, it can actually move by itself. This is the true nature of the universe as well as of all beings.
Whatever we feed on, move or create, gets transformed into energy according to our thoughts, feelings and desires. The most powerful entity on the earth is the human being. He thinks, feels, acts according to his will. This power is transferred to his mind, which is the supreme pacific authority. Whatever he does becomes shayari holic, or beneficial.
The mind creates auras of various colors according to its influence on the surroundings. The aura is the subtle energy field that surrounds everything, both seen and unseen. It is theulum (substance) of the world. Whatever good we do, is also beneficial for others in the same environment. Our actions will always influence the surrounding environment, so the only thing we have to do is to make sure our actions are positive!
We receive what we attract…it’s that simple. The law of attraction is very similar to the law of causes and effects. We are constantly attracting whatever we send out – good or bad. If we continue focusing on our shortcomings, it will become magnified, and will eventually effect our lives.
When we act in a manner that is beneficial to others, it becomes our energy field. We become blessed, and are filled with divine peace and joy. If we allow the energy of others to flow freely, we will be blessed in turn. This is a basic concept of karma.
