Introduction
In the quest for enlightenment, many spiritual seekers encounter various teachings and philosophies. One such teaching comes from Mahaveera, who stated, “Unless you assume the male body, you cannot be enlightened.” However, this perspective can be expanded upon to reveal deeper truths about gender and spiritual awakening.
The Path of Physical Exertion
Mahaveera’s assertion stemmed from his own arduous journey towards enlightenment, which required immense physical strength and endurance. In Jainism, practitioners engage in rigorous practices such as plucking hair by hand and using only ash for cleansing. This physical tapas (austerity) leads to a belief that women may not endure such challenges.
However, I present an important sacred secret: Sannyasis embody a separate gender.
Understanding Gender Beyond Binary
Let us explore the spectrum of gender:
- Male
- Female
- Physically male but psychologically female (gay)
- Physically female but psychologically male (transgender)
These identities reflect diverse experiences of gender. Yet, there exists an ultimate state known as Transcendental Gender, where one achieves Completion at a bio-memorial level. In this state, pride in being male or female dissolves, allowing both manhood and womanhood to reach their peak.
The Joy of Transcendental Gender
To truly experience enlightenment, one must reach this Transcendental Gender state. It is here that Complete Completion occurs—a joyous existence within one’s body that transcends societal limitations. While this may seem impossible to modern minds, it is essential to recognize that true freedom lies in embracing all possibilities.
Sannyas: Living the Highest Possibility
Sannyas is basically living the highest possibility in a simplest way, in a casual way, in a joyful way. So, what I define as sannyas is experiencing orderliness and chaos, chaos and order and ability to live and live both. Ultimate fusion of Sannyas is completely living the every dimension of you. There is no stone unturned in you. There is no experience untouched in you. There is no dimension unexplode in you, is sannyas.
The Ultimate Career
Sannyas is the ultimate career. Career is what? You trying to fulfill one dimension of you in your life is career. You try to take a IT career, or you try to became a lawyer, you try to became a doctor, try to become engineer. You are trying to fulfill one dimension, the professional dimension of you. That is what you call as a career. Sannyas is the ultimate career where you can fulfill all dimensions of you. You see, seva is the ultimate creativity, sannyas gives the option, opportunity for seva and not only that sannyas gives opportunity for the ultimate intellectual fulfillment, ultimate emotional fulfillment, ultimate being level fulfillment. Intellectual fulfillment you can … no other career will have, will be exposed to so much knowledge whether in the outer world or in the inner world and second emotional fulfillment, such a deep fulfillment how… in which career of lifestyle you will have such a deep emotional fulfillment? Sannyas where you cultivate emotion and devotion as a lifestyle. It’s a lifestyle where … who can have the emotional fulfillment of Meera and Andal?
Sannyas is the only career where you can have the ultimate consciousness fulfillment. So, Sannyas is the ultimate career, which modern day youth need to take up. Modern day Indian youth, not only Indian, whole world modern youth is wasting and abusing their life in depression, drugs and suicide, death. They are suffering with this 3D, I wanted to show them the fourth D, the real divine dimension. The fourth dimension of life, divine. So, get out of this 3D problem drug, depression and death and get into the fourth
