According to the Masters of Heartfulness Sahaj Marg Meditation, there is a lot of emphasis on becoming simple if one wants to realize or experience God. And Babuji Maharaj says "God is Simple." One can realize God by becoming Simple as God is Simple. God can be realized completely as He IS, ONLY by becoming like Him. But human being is very complex, for whatever reasons. Somehow if one gets rid of complexities that he acquired, one becomes Simple, says Daaji.
Being Simple also means to live a Simple Life. Simple things are often very difficult to understand as we tend to think in a complex way. What is Simple Life? In life, there are desires and needs. Needs are fundamental to existence. Desires are human creations. To lead a simple life, one needs reduce one's desires and come down to NEEDs first and then even NEEDs must become minimum said Chariji.
Babuji explains Simplicity in yet another way, saying that when all the qualities removed from a human being, one becomes absolutely simple. Heartfulness Sahaj Marg Meditation is designed towards That.
By becoming simple, the life the human being leads becomes simple that is free of any complexities, a very plain life that oozes simplicity around. When one is Simple, Wisdom is at the peak; Ego at the lowest; Mind crystal clear.
Simplicity also means getting rid of the entire karmic burden, desires and ego and becoming absolutely light in the spirit. This opens up the higher realms of Reality that helps one to soar higher and higher and the Consciousness keeps expanding refining itself 360 degrees, infinitely, where 'I' ness becomes non-existent.
Babuji's statement makes it clear about this kind of existence; He once said, "When I say 'I', I do not know whether it refers to my Master, or to God or to my self." A statement worth meditating upon deeply.
However this cannot be achieved overnight unless sufficient preparation has been done consistently in the past lives. Yet it can be achieved gradually at one's own pace, if practised with commitment and interest, through the Simple Heartfulness Yogic practices, even in a part of one's own lifetime. To be Simple is neither easy nor difficult; It is easy if one wills it strong enough, it is difficult if there is no interest.
