Flat line means Death!

In the EKG (or, if you are in teh UK, ECG), flat line loudly proclaims death. The ups and the downs are what define life, and activity. However, the sharp lines symbolic of life are definition of a physical presence, not a spiritual existence. The spirit does not trace sharps. It writes in gentle curves. It knows no pain and delivers none. The letter Aum is only curves... It is the sound that preceded existence and the sound that will survive beyond eternity- Sanatan. Eternal. Truth.

The spiritual practices in everyday living round off the sharps and give gentle rocking curves that nurture teh body and allow the soul a journey that it is meant to have. Everyday spirituality does not mean dedicating fixed time to prayer or renouncing the world. Everyday spirituality means being true to your Soul Purpose. It means doing what you do with full intention and complete body, mind and soul. It means being present in the moment, each moment. It means performing everyday tasks with sincere gratitude- that we have the task to perform! And with diginity- that each task defines and colours our living experience.

Spiritual sincerity at the kitchen sink, in the bath, while driving or while talking to a friend helps to eliminate sharps, cut extremes. It introduces curves in life. It moderates the breath and modulates the mind. It puts us in resonance with our energy. It magnifies teh life force available to us. Chanting helps us focus our energies more efficiently. It helps us to focus our mind to a point. The NOW.

The trace from birth to death is to be a line of bliss and happiness for the soul. The journey is frought with difficulties and apparent distractions. We need to remember, however, that obstacles are those tiny things that take our sights away from the goal, away from the task at hand. Any chant brings about Unity of mind, word and action- Manasa, Vacha, Karma. for Valmiki, it was Maramaramaramaram..... ; for a mother it may be her child's welfare; for a lover, it may be those magical three words- I love you!

The Zero, the shoonya needs to be experienced to realise the resonance that is possible in life. The Universe also appears tpo be shaped like a warp- a zero! The rounding off of the edges brings bliss, joy and achievement.

Why must the bliss be attained after death in the flat line of ECG? Why can it not be attained in life with single mindedness of purpose?

The line of death is simply a line. A line when alone is unity... but is single. To magnify its value, it needs attachment! Attachment to zero. To nothing, and to nothingness. The curvature of the zero magnifies teh energy of Unity to infinity... In themselves, ech alone has little or no value.

This seems to be the ultimate journey of the soul in the human body... to achieve union of the Unity with the shoonya.

This appears to be the The Soul Journey... from birth to death, form unity, through zero to eternity...

Embark. Enjoy.
