Spiritual Initiation and How to Self-Certify that You are Enlightened

Spiritual Initiation and How to Self-Certify that You are Enlightened

A Poem by AiR - Atman in Ravi

What is the meaning of Spiritual Initiation? 
It is a start to reach our ultimate destination
The guidance of a Guru can take us there faster
But for this, we need an Enlightened Master! 
Initiation is the beginning of our Journey to the Truth 
It is the way to get to the bottom of the root

Why Spiritual Initiation? Why must we go on a Quest?
Why must we put our beliefs to test? 
Because of ignorance, what we were taught in schools 
We continue to believe and live like fools! 
It's time to question, 'Who am I?' 
'Am I this Body that will just live and die? 

To Initiate the Journey, we must still the Mind
It is our enemy, this Truth, we must find
Along with the Ego, it becomes Mind and Ego, ME
It tells us, 'We are the Body,' in the mirror that we see
It hides the Truth that we are the Divine Soul 
We need Initiation to reach our Goal!
Initiation is a Journey to Self-Realization
With the help of the Guru, it is Purification
Then, we move forward and there is Illumination 
Till we arrive at the Truth called Realization 
But Initiation is just the beginning, what is the end? 
Enlightenment or Spiritual Awakening, ignorance to transcend

Many people are seeking only to be initiated
They blindly follow the myth and make life complicated 
Initiation means to question everything and ask, 'Why?'
'What is my purpose on earth and who am I?'
'What was the reason that I came to earth?' 
'What is the purpose of my human birth?' 

Initiation often needs the help of Meditation
When we still the mind, we start Contemplation
We reach a state of Consciousness 
It is Mindfulness, it is Awareness
In this state, it is the Intellect that will shine
We will Discriminate and Realize that nothing is mine 

What is this world? It's just a show
We are just actors, we come and we go! 
Until there is Initiation, nothing we know
But with the help of a Master, spiritually, we grow 
We Realize that the Purpose of life is Liberation
And after Realization, Divine Unification 

How do we know, we are on the right path? 
Are we fooled by rituals in a religious bath? 
Do we believe in the universal lie?
That God is an old man, who lives in the sky?  
Initiation will take us to the Truth of Realization
But for this, we must do Self-Certification

Nobody knows if we are Spiritually Awakened 
But the Guru can guide us to be Enlightened 
Unless we are honest with the Guru and in him, we trust 
Self-Certification won't work, so this comes first  
Obedience to the Guru is a must 
To give us worldly desires and give up lust

Other than the Guru, nobody can know 
Are we truly Enlightened or we're putting up a show
If with the Guru, there is a Divine Connection 
Then, truthful will be our Self-Certification
Otherwise, the Initiation will cause confusion 
And we may never reach our destination 

What are the things that we must certify? 
We must first, find out the truth, 'Who am I?'
For this, we must find out, what we are not
Escape from the Mind and Ego, that ties us in a knot! 
When we Realize, these, we are not but we are 
'Who are we?' We certify, we cross the bar 

Self-Certification is about endorsing, we are the Soul
But this is the Beginning, not yet the goal 
The Soul is nothing but the Divine Power, SIP
The Supreme Immortal Power, must be certified on our lip
When God, we are able, in all, to see
Then we can certify, we Realize the Divine energy 

The Soul is but a Spark Of Unique Life 
This Certification liberates us from strife 
But the Soul is nothing, it is God, it is SIP!
We must certify and move forward in this trip 
Now, we are sailing on a Spiritual ship 
One by one, the Certification saves us from a slip! 

Ultimately, what must we get in sight? 
Finally, we have to switch on the inner light
Certification is to reach that state of Inner Enlightenment 
It is transcending pleasure and achievement 
We will pass by contentment and fulfillment 
And certify, we are no more slaves of entertainment

Spiritual Awakening is Eternal Bliss 
It is a state of Truth Consciousness 
It is Divine Love for one and all 
And this is certified, when the Ego has a fall 
As long as the Ego stands tall like a wall 
We can't Certify Enlightenment, we will fall! 

Therefore, it is important to read this book 
One-by-one, each Certification, will change the outlook 
We must be sincere in our Initiation 
And with honesty, do Self-Certification
The process is long, there will be Realization 
And ultimately, there will be Liberation!

Life has a meaning, it has a purpose 
Without Initiation, it will just be a circus 
If we just live and then we die 
If we are not Enlightened, 'Who am I?' 
The Body will die but we will be reborn
We will suffer and this will go on and on 

Therefore, today, let us start our Initiation 
Not delay our Journey of Realization
For this, we must first get an Enlightened Soul 
Getting the right Guru achieves half the Goal 
Then, the Spiritual Journey must go on
Nothing must stop us from dusk to dawn  
  
Ultimately, at death, happens one of the two things
Initiation is the one that Peace and Bliss brings 
If there is no Spiritual Awakening, there will be reincarnation
But Enlightenment is the result of Realization 
We have time, let us make a choice 
Let us not delay, let us be wise!
