Reza Darshannath (a.k.a Rezaji) has been on the sacred path of Self realization for almost 15 years, attaining deep realization of the inner states and the practical clarity on how to transmit the inner state to the inquiring seeker. His teaching work today is done mainly through sharing his experience, knowledge and energy with sincere students on the sacred path. He does that through Satsang meetings which are conducted in group Zazen sitting format, private meetings and extensive retreats which are conducted mainly in Asia. His Journey into various layers of self realization included learning and attaining a deep understanding of various traditions and schools. His process of awakening has been gradual and lasted 15 years of dedicated and devoted practice. His path has been affected by various teachers who contributed to his process and understanding.
The purity and energy transmission of Sri Ramana Maharshi has contributed greatly to his evolution and had been always the leading force and influence in the background of his journey, being of a great support and source of inspiration.
His vision of the process of self-realization is combined of the contribution of three major traditions. Zen Buddhism, the science of awareness and self-attention. Advaita Vedanta, as the science of Beingness (consciousness absorbed within itself), and Sufism as the entrance to the spiritual Heart and the gate to realization of the soul and the Divine realm beyond it. He sees the depth and purity of intention of the student, as being a major factor to determining the depth and potency of ones' evolution. His relations with students are demanding yet very personal and based on deep trust and openness, as he sees these qualities as essential attributes of an effective and proper teacher-student relationships. Yet, as he himself experienced a severe crisis of trust with a master he spent a few years with, he would not allow or encourage today any unnatural "Guru-Master" projections towards him, which he finds unnecessary and unnatural.
He would describe the process of self-realization as an accelerated natural journey of evolution and growth into reality itself.
"Anyone who cultivates the right reasoning and intention in one's mind and heart, will be able after short time of guided and precise practice to have certain level of realization and clarity about ones' identity".
He encourages students to fully dedicate a certain period of time to ones' evolution. Doing retreats, and isolating themselves for a while. Yet, at the same time he discourages students from cultivating an attitude of detachment or negating life, nor avoiding participation in it. As he sees life itself as tool of evolution and mirroring of ones' true state and needs.
In the beginning of 2004 during a series of self-retreats near the sacred mountain of Arunachala, South India, Darshannath went through another series of existential transformations within his consciousness. This was a culmination of many years of devotion and sincere practice towards realization of the Self. His personal form of human consciousness has dissolved its' relative boarders, giving place to a state where the guidance and energy transmitted to students are no longer being "him" teaching, but it is the universal consciousness which is running through his human form and transmitted intensely to the consciousness of students, leading to a strong experience of openness, clarity and potential transformation.
His introductory words as recorded to new students were:
"For lifetimes you have been searching for true fulfillment on this earth.
Your life has been dominated by chasing the movement of thoughts within your head. You have reached the point where you actually no longer sure about what is real. What is really meaningful to you. Your heart has become tired, not much feels worth pursuing at the moment,as essential qualities and clarity are missing within your existential experience."
"You are invited to join us as a community in which we grow individually towards awakening and realization of our true identity. Realization which leads back to the natural harmony of abiding within the eternal self, while embracing the human process of maturation and growth within this dimension as well. A state where one recognizes and integrates with the purpose of one's human life. Awakening to the existence of your-Self as an eternal "pure - I". Individualized consciousness which incarnated into a human form for the purpose of growth, fulfillment, and removal of boundaries of personal consciousness, leading back to unity with the Divine eternal essence."
"True transformation cannot be viewed in a simplistic or linear way. It is an all encompassing process of transformation of all aspects of our human,and beyond human existence.
Awakening the hope and longing within you would be the first step. Trusting the intuitive feeling that arises from your heart that you do have the potential, the will, the curiosity, and the urge to pursuit a deeper insight into your true self.
From this point you'll have to grow in intelligence and maturity, to learn and identify the mechanisms that control your existential experience of the now. The chronic habit of dwelling within the unconscious mind. You'll need the discipline and wisdom to learn how to discern the real from illusion, the eternal from the impermanent. To integrate with your higher self, and let go of the other. You'll have to develop a genuine sincerity to know what are you really looking for...".
"Transformation can take place only on a platform which contains your pure intention, trust, and devotion. The right transmission of energetic opening within your present state of consciousness. Such transmission can be delivered to you in the presence of an evolved soul (Satsang). One who guides you with pure intention and genuine care for your well-being. The right effort ,discipline, sincerity, trust and devotion from your side, and above all the Divine grace which now can potentially penetrate through the energetic gates that are opened within your consciousness through this work.
Meditation is a state where you slowly let go of your past. Letting go of all which you are made of within the impermanent existence on this earth. Discovering the genuine existence as eternal spark of Divinity. As a Soul who stands within both the womb of creator and creation.
The existential reasons for this lifetime of yours will be slowly revealed to you. Through sensitivity and trust you'll grow beyond your past fears and subconscious identity to clearly see what is left for you to attain and to fulfill on this earth. Your goal is to reach the "natural state"". A permanent attainment and integration with the eternal identity while allowing yourself to embrace the "human-I" and see it from a point which is free from it, yet choosing wisely to continue the multi-dimensional evolution, both on earth as a human, while abiding beyond it. Only such process of awakening and purification, which is encompassing all elements of your existence, your mind, psyche, your psychology, your subconscious past, and your current true needs in this lifetime, can lead you to the pure state which you are potentially destined for".
You have no reason to give up, as deep within you are the seeds and the solution for complete transformation to your current state. If you have the courage, determination, trust and integrity to pursuit a deeper state of living, you are most welcome to join us towards attaining back the "Natural State".
