Limitations

Basically everyone says that we're human, and of course that's very logical. But, why can't we say that we're more than human? What's so bad about that? "Well, we're not. It's not bad to say that we're more than human, but the truth is we aren't." Thanks for the motivation.

However, there are those that have realized that we aren't just human. This isn't an opinion for them; it is truth. It is only an opinion to us. Come on, look at Jesus. Yes, he was the Son of Man, but he was also the Son of God. He never said that we were less than him. He said he was the first among many to do what he did. He said that we are capable of doing as much as or more than he did, and he motivates us to do so. Why do we automatically make excuses for these? You don't want to be like Jesus and the countless others? So be it.

There is this other man that has past all limitations and is still living here today. He is referred to as Mahavatar Babaji, and has been explained as being 600-1800 years old. He claims to have trained the great Indian philosopher Shankara in the 7th Century CE. He was the guru of Lahiri Mahasaya in the 1800's, who was in turn the guru of Sri Yukteswar, who was also the guru of Paramahansa Yogananda. Yogananda saw him in the 1930's and had an artist draw him from memory.



Apparently, there are many recent color pictures of him. And he's young! There are so many stories about him available on the web, as well as some books. They call him an avatar because he is beyond all limitations. He can take any form he likes, and he says he can see through every eye and beats in every heart. He can instantly heal anyone, raise the dead, and so on and so forth. He can really do anything, and is here to help us all. He teaches Kriya Yoga, and assures that we can do the same as he can.

So many religions, and spiritual groups, books and people talk about this. This seems to be a universal truth. We are truly divine, and us mistakenly identifying with our ego, body, and mind has clouded up this truth. We don't need to become an avatar, a Buddha, a Christ, the Atman, and we don't need to reach nirvana, heaven, or paradise. We have and are truly all of these things. We just need to know it and awaken to it. Using our mind, body or ego to do these things will not do anything. So when you look at your body for an answer to if you are truly limitless, it won't work. When you hear your ego saying, "No, I can't do that," don't listen. If you use your logic to get the answer, you will find limitation.

It's not you! None of these things are you! If you hear yourself say "No," that's still the ego. Don't let it limit you. Once you stop identifying yourself with the mind, body and ego, you will know what you truly are - and it's beyond words.
