One Taste

Savouring the Infinite Donut of the Universe

There’s a flavour so profound, so complete, that a single bite satisfies every craving. Mystics call it “One Taste.” It’s the ultimate donut—shaped as a torus, mirroring the infinite, self-sustaining design of the universe itself. One bite of this cosmic delicacy and the hunger for more dissolve forever.

The torus represents the flow of all existence. Energy moves outward from the center, loops around, and folds back into itself—a continuous, unbroken cycle. Life itself arises and returns through this geometry, reflecting the interconnected nature of all things. When you take that metaphysical bite, it’s not just a snack; it’s communion with the whole.

The Flavour Beyond Flavour

This donut isn’t ordinary. It isn’t made of flour, sugar, or butter; it’s composed of awareness, presence, and unity. That first bite unveils the truth that all flavours—whether bitter or sweet, spicy or bland—are variations of one eternal essence.

You don’t just taste it; you become it. This realization dissolves the endless craving for more, the need to acquire, achieve, or complete. One bite and the existential hunger that drives human striving come to a halt. You’re no longer searching for fulfillment because you’ve already discovered that you are fulfillment.

The Geometry of Wholeness

The torus is a profound metaphor for life’s completeness. Everything flows from the center, and everything returns to it. This shape is mirrored in the structure of galaxies, the energy fields of the Earth, and even the patterns of human consciousness. Taking that first bite reveals that the “self” and the “universe” are not separate entities but expressions of one unified flow.

Once this truth is seen, nothing is ever the same. Life continues as it always has, but the endless striving for meaning and satisfaction falls away. The bite grants freedom, not by adding anything new, but by revealing what was always present: the infinite within the finite.

Beyond the Hunger

This realization doesn’t strip life of its richness; it enhances it. You’ll still savour the sweetness of love, the tang of sorrow, and the spice of adventure, but you’ll no longer mistake these flavours for something separate from yourself. The donut is no longer outside you; it’s everything you’ve ever been.

Craving transforms into gratitude. Striving gives way to stillness. You taste each moment fully, knowing that the universe itself is unfolding through you.

Why You’ll Never Have to Eat Again

One bite of this donut doesn’t mean rejecting life. It means living with such profound intimacy that every experience, no matter how ordinary, carries the flavour of infinity. This isn’t about ascetic denial or detachment—it’s about tasting the sacred in every breath, step, and interaction.

When you’ve tasted the ultimate donut, hunger ceases because there’s nothing left to grasp. Fulfillment isn’t in the future; it’s here. Every moment is saturated with the One Taste, echoing the truth that you and the universe are the same.

Take that bite, and savour it. Everything you’ve ever sought is already within it.

Unveiling Divinity

A Whisper from the Abyss of Enlightenment

The inscrutable odyssey of a seeker ends at the altar of enlightenment, a realm where words stagger and concepts crumble, birthing an existence of boundless essence. It’s at this moment of spiritual enlightenment that a being enters a sphere of profound reality, touching the tapestry of the universe with a feather of transcendental wisdom. The essence of such a moment cannot be captured by mere words, yet we delve into articulating the aura of the ineffable enlightenment.

At the instant of enlightenment, the veil of duality is lifted and the inherent oneness of existence is realized. This unveiling is akin to a droplet finding its way back to the ocean, realizing its essence has always been part of the larger whole. This realization carries a boundless sense of fulfillment and completion, a harmonious ballet where the eternal dance of existence is experienced in its purest form.

The dichotomy of ego dissolves into the purity of being, transcending the shackles of identification and liberating the essence from the mere corporeal existence. This egolessness unfolds a reality where distinctions are obliterated and the quintessence of pure consciousness shines forth. The abstraction of perfection is experienced in the ordinariness of existence, portraying a canvas where every stroke, dark or bright, contributes to a masterpiece called Life.

A swell of profound empathy and compassion courses through the veins, and the heart beats to the rhythm of universal love, understanding the sufferings and joys of existence in its deepest layer. It’s here that the tear of joy trickles down, embodying the essence of divine love and the boundless openness of being. The feeling is paradoxical, it’s both an amalgamation into the vastness and a dive into the deepest core.

The experience of spiritual enlightenment is akin to a surprise, a shock, and a gentle whisper all at the same time. It’s the embodiment of paradoxes – emptiness and fullness, wonder and knowing, liberation and love. It’s a transcendence into a reality where the boundaries of comprehension extend beyond the horizon, into the realm of the infinite. The spiritual enlightenment is a state of pure existence, unadulterated by the conceptual mind, it’s a state of “suchness” – the true nature of being.

This journey from ignorance to enlightenment is a passage from bondage to freedom, from restlessness to stillness, seeking to finding, questioning to knowing. And yet, this knowing is not the end, but a beginning of living in an enlightened existence where every moment is a whisper from the abyss of the profound.

The Quest for Wholeness

Nirvana, Moksha, and Sahaja Samadhi

Introduction:

In the frantic, cacophonous world we inhabit, the pursuit of true peace of mind has become more essential than ever. Many of us harbour a longing, often unarticulated, for a state of being that transcends the mundanity of our daily routines. This is not just about calming the mind; it’s about an all-encompassing peace that permeates every fibre of our being – peace of the mind, heart, and gut. This form of liberation, known in different cultures as Nirvana, Moksha, or Sahaja Samadhi, is the ultimate aspiration.

Body:

I. Understanding the Concepts
Nirvana, a term originating from Buddhism, literally means ‘to extinguish’. It is the extinguishing of desires, ignorance, and the sense of self. Moksha, rooted in Hinduism, signifies liberation from the cycle of birth and rebirth, and the realization of one’s unity with the ultimate reality or Brahman. Sahaja Samadhi is an effortless state of deep spiritual absorption, where one is simultaneously aware of the inner Self and the external world. These three concepts, while having different origins, converge on the notion of liberation and inner peace.

II. The Nature of True Peace
True peace is not merely the absence of conflict; it is a profound sense of unity and harmony within oneself and with the universe. It’s a sense of completeness and fulfillment that is not contingent on external circumstances. It is in this state that the heart finds contentment, the mind is unshaken, and even the gut, often referred to as the ‘second brain’, is at ease.

III. The Journey Within
The quest for true peace demands a deep, inward journey. This is a path of self-discovery, contemplation, and inner transformation. Through meditation, self-reflection, and sometimes through guidance from spiritual traditions, one begins to detach from the illusions and constraints of the material world.

IV. The Liberation of the Self

In reaching Nirvana, Moksha, or Sahaja Samadhi, the self is liberated. This liberation is an awakening to the true nature of reality. It’s the realization that our essential self is not separate from the universe. This sense of oneness alleviates the turmoil of the heart, the restlessness of the mind, and the tension within the gut.

V. The Role of Compassion and Mindfulness
Compassion towards oneself and others is a vital component of this journey. It is through a compassionate heart that one can embrace the imperfections of human existence. Additionally, mindfulness helps in cultivating an awareness of the present moment, which is fundamental in the pursuit of inner peace.

Conclusion:

The pursuit of true peace, as epitomized in Nirvana, Moksha, or Sahaja Samadhi, is a deeply enriching and transformative journey. It’s not just an intellectual exercise but an all-encompassing spiritual endeavour that engages the mind, heart, and gut. This form of liberation is the pinnacle of human aspiration and a goal that can guide us toward a more harmonious and fulfilling existence.
