Chapter 11

The Awareness Setting

A fter a short break, Lord Hanuman resumed His talks with a question, ‘Dear disciples, what is the difference between an ignorant soul and an aware soul?’

​ Urmi replied quickly, ‘Deva, an aware soul is a relatively free soul: it can withdraw from or enter into a scene at its own will. On the other hand, an ignorant soul blindly rolls from one scene to another by imitating the character it’s attached to.’

​ Urva replied, ‘Deva, an aware soul knows that the character’s desires are foolish because they all emanate from the root desire of becoming complete, which is never going to be fulfilled. It is aware that the character is incomplete by definition. It gets attached to a character at its own free will just to enjoy the feelings and emotions which result from a character’s attempts to become complete.’

​ Janakirupa replied, ‘Deva, an ignorant soul identifies itself with the mind, which is the composite of four mental bodies. On the other hand, an aware soul can separate itself from the mind.’

​ ‘Indeed,’ said Lord Hanuman. ‘When the mind feels pleasure, pain or anything else, an ignorant soul is bound to feel the same. An aware soul, on the other hand, can withdraw from feelings of the mind at its own will. The question is, how to make an ignorant soul aware?’

​ ‘By making the mind visible, Deva,’ replied Janakirupa. ‘You just made all our souls aware by telling us the secret of the invisible four, by making them visible. Now my soul is not mistaking itself as a mind. Right at this moment, my soul is a mute spectator as it watches my character speak these words.’

​ A serene smile stretched upon Lord Hanuman’s face as He quietly said, ‘If your mental bodies have become visible to you, I should take your leave. There’s nothing more to be taught.’

​ ‘No, Deva,’ said Urva at once. ‘They’re not visible yet.’

​ Janakirupa corrected herself, ‘They’re not as visible as my physical body, Deva. Only their outline has become visible yet … that too is very faint …’

​ Lord Hanuman said, ‘I just gave you basic technical knowledge about your mental bodies. Now you have to start practising it. While acting on a desire, you should try to trace it back to your mental bodies. Behind every desire, one or more of your mental bodies are involved. When you start practising, you will mentally feel like a toddler in the process of learning about various bodily functions. To help you practice, I will take you to different scenes from different times, ranging from long before Ramayana period to this day. When you make your mental bodies completely visible, you will be able to change your characters without my help.’

​ ‘That’s what I’m waiting for, Deva,’ said Urva excitedly. ‘The first thing I want to do is get into the character of a mainstream human being. I want to experience high levels of greed, ego and ignorance.’
