Chivality practice is not for gaining something new. It is for losing what should never have been there. What must be lost is not something outside us, but something within.
Fear, anxiety, worries, emotions, sentiments, attachments, expectations, pleasures, and pains are the internal enemies of the human mind. As long as the mind exists with its contents, suffering continues in one form or another.
For this reason, Chivality addresses the issue at its root, not by managing thoughts or controlling emotions, but by dissolving the very source from which they arise.
Negativity Is Not Separate from Mind
Negative qualities are not independent entities. They are expressions of the mind
itself. For example, fear is the mind projecting the future. Anxiety is the mind clinging to uncertainty. Worry is the mind repeating imagined problems. Emotions and sentiments are the mind reacting to memory and expectation.
As long as the mind operates, positivity and negativity both exist. Removing only the negativity does not resolve the cause of human birth. Thus, Chivality aims for something deeper: the dissolution of the mind itself.
Role of Chivaguru and Chivam Energy
At this point, a question naturally arises: if the mind cannot end itself, how does dissolution happen?
Chivality is not a self-effort-based practice because the human mind cannot destroy itself; any attempt by the mind to end the mind is only another mental activity.
That is why Chivality is centred on Chivaguru, remembrance, and Silentation. Through constant remembrance of the Chivaguru and sincere Silentation practice, the seeker becomes receptive to Chivam energy, an energy that does not belong to the human mind.
This energy gradually empties the mind, guiding it toward positivity until the mind itself finally dissolves.
Silentation Is Not Silence of Speech
Silentation is the silence of the mind, not the silence of the mouth. When remembrance becomes steady and Silentation deepens, thoughts reduce naturally, emotions lose force, inner reactions slow down, and mental noise fades. This is not suppression or control; it is a natural evaporation of mental activity.

Vanishing of Mental Contents
If the practice is sincere and continuous, everything stored in the mind begins to dissolve: beliefs, identities, emotional patterns, likes and dislikes, and even the sense of “I am practising.” Nothing is selectively removed; everything goes. When all contents vanish, what remains is emptiness. This condition is called Mindlessness (Manonasha).
Mind Is the Hurdle for Liberation
Liberation is not freedom from the world; it is freedom from the mind that interprets the world.
As long as the mind exists, bondage, duality, and suffering exist. When the mind disappears, there is no bondage to escape from, no suffering to solve, and no liberation to achieve. That condition itself is liberation.
Mindfulness vs Mindlessness
Mindfulness belongs to the human realm. It means observing the mind while keeping it active.
Mindlessness belongs to Chivam. It means the absence of the observer, the observed, and the mind itself. Mindfulness is refinement toward the positive, while mindlessness is dissolution of the mind.
Completion of the Practice
Chivality practice must continue until mindlessness becomes complete. Temporary silence, temporary peace, and temporary thoughtlessness are not enough. When mindlessness stabilises, practice ends by itself, remembrance of the Master stops, the seeker disappears, and only Chivam remains. This condition is the final goal of the Chivality system.
