Chivality Practice - Path to Peace

Liberation from Negativity

We have accumulated a bad character through negative thoughts and actions over many lifetimes. Because we haven't destroyed this negativity, we keep taking birth again and again. If we know the way to escape from this, we can destroy negativity in this very lifetime.

Once we realize that we take birth due to accumulated bad karma, destroying this should be our main goal. We have both negativity and positivity within us. Negativity causes us suffering, so it's hard to accept. But positivity gives us peace. That's why we should reject negativity and develop positivity.

The Importance of Accepting Suffering

Diseases cause us pain. But when we experience this pain, our negativity reduces. So we shouldn't reject suffering. For example, when we wear acupressure slippers, our feet hurt, but it's good for our health. Similarly, when we wear soft slippers, they give comfort but provide no health benefits.

How to Live Peacefully Until Death?

Everyone wants to live happily. The reason for this is the suffering within them. Negativity is the root cause of both happiness and suffering. If we want to live in true peace, we must be freed from both happiness and suffering.

As we experience suffering, negativity decreases and peace increases. For someone seeking happiness, death appears as sorrow. But for someone living in peace, death becomes an ordinary matter.

To live peacefully until death, we must receive Shiva's energy. In this Chivality practice, we get Shiva's energy to help destroy negativity.

Peace, Not Happiness, is the Goal

We should not chase after what gives happiness, but pursue what gives peace. When it becomes impossible to accept suffering, frustrations arise. We must simultaneously remain in peace and be ready to accept suffering.

To peacefully accept everything that happens in the world, we need to be positive and have wisdom. Practicing the Chivality method helps with this.

How to Accept Death?

We must accept the diseases that cause death. Everyone must die someday. We cannot escape from it. It can happen anytime - if not today, then tomorrow; if not tomorrow, then some other day it will definitely come. One who wishes to escape this is foolish.

Even though this is true, humans are not ready to accept it. The Chivality practice changes the state of being unable to accept death and makes one able to accept it. This removes the fear of death.

Freedom from Distress

Illness doesn't just harm the body; it also harms the mind. As long as the mind exists, all these troubles cause distress to the mind. When distress is destroyed, a person becomes ready to accept all of this.

Since distress causes suffering to humans, it must be destroyed. Distress can only be destroyed through Shiva's energy. Whoever receives Shiva's energy is freed from distress.

The purpose of the Chivality practice is to teach how to receive Shiva's energy. Shiva's energy is hidden within everyone. If we discover the Shiva energy within us, we will be freed from our troubles and the fear of death will disappear.
