Spiritual Update: Happiest periods of my life now are when I am into Deeper Dissolve (into God) Sadhana zone; Handling health challenges

Last updated on 26 Jan. 2026

Note: I am simply sharing some aspects of my spiritual journey in this free social media post. The sole motivation for putting up this post is that it may be of interest to some reader(s), now or in future.

The last update post I put up was in Sept-Oct. 2025: Got some mental clarity about how I, as single spiritual aspirant, should handle health challenges; Sensitive parts coded; Current main goals. The My current main goals section in it covers Dissolve In/Into God Sadhana (spiritual practice) which is abbreviated to DIGS.

Jan. 2026 Update:

I continue to be steady in Dissolve into God Sadhana (DIGS). 

Main prompts that I typically use nowadays:

When required, before I get to the main prompts, I precede it by short Who am I? / What is my reality? question quickly leading to me focusing on my unchanging awareness (awareness-I). ... This alone is the lasting truth; All else is passing show.

This is optionally followed by: This I (awareness-I) is the pathway to God.

I must mention here, that quite often, I go straight into the below mentioned main prompts as I am able to focus on my unchanging awareness right away and don't need the preceding process. But, at times, especially when my mind has been quite engaged with worldly stuff including software development issues that need lot of intellectual understanding and analysis, I need the preceding process to focus on my unchanging awareness.

Now the main prompts I use:

• (at times, as a first step) Go deep into God 
• (always) Dissolve into God OR Dissolve in God — which sometimes, later in the session, becomes just Dissolve

Further, I can say clearly that the happiest thing in my life nowadays is when I am in the Dissolve Sadhana (spiritual practice) zone/state. [Dissolve Sadhana (spiritual practice) zone/state is covered in my above mentioned post. Essentially, it is a deeper and very happy state I get into when my Dissolve Into God Sadhana session is good.] 

I would like to rename Dissolve Sadhana zone to Deeper Dissolve Sadhana zone to more easily differentiate it from Dissolve into God Sadhana, which is the initial process.

But getting into Deeper Dissolve Sadhana zone is not certain. Usually after a good night's sleep before having any food, it is very easy for me to start a DIGS session and get into Deeper Dissolve Sadhana zone. But not always. Sometimes after waking up in the morning, even when I am into a DIGS session for some minutes, I find it difficult to get into that zone. Today it was like that. But after a longish DIGS session of perhaps around half an hour or slightly more, I got into the Deeper Dissolve Sadhana zone. Once I got into that zone, I could continue to be in it easily and it was a very happy and satisfying Sadhana period.

In the above mentioned post, I had said that my goal was "to be able to get into the Dissolve Sadhana zone anytime I want". I have tried on some afternoons or evenings/nights to get into a DIGS session and then Deeper Dissolve Sadhana zone. Sometimes, especially when I am mentally tired from software work, I have failed completely, not even being able to settle into a DIGS session and instead watching some movie or other video to relax. But sometimes (in afternoons/evenings/nights), I have succeeded in getting into a longish DIGS session, and few times in such cases, even getting into the Deeper Dissolve Sadhana zone. But this is nowhere close to "anytime I want" accessibility. So I think there is a lot of sadhana work I have to do in this area. However, I must say that I feel my accessibility to DIGS and Deeper Dissolve Sadhana  zone have improved over past months. I think the regular practice is making it easier for my mind to get into this sadhana. In other words, the practice is helping to tame or train the mind.

I must mention here that I continue my regular prayers to Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba including Om Sai Ram Namasmarana and expression of gratitude to Bhagavan for all that He has done for me and continues to do for me.

I should also mention here that I am into worldly life stuff like watching movies, songs etc, current news (like recent Davos, Switzerland event) too. I also have my fair share of human flaws. I mean I do not lead a proper/strict sadhu or monk's life. But I am a law abiding citizen of the Republic of India. 

Now about the other major point covered in my above mentioned post which is: what is the best approach for me as a single spiritual aspirant, to handle health challenges (and associated financial burden).

Firstly, I want to say that, with wonderful care provided by Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba's hospitals, my health issues are quite under control now with regular medication and lifestyle control. Of course, there are many limitations these health issues have introduced in my life as compared to my life before 2022 but that's the "new normal" for me 😊.

In the above mentioned post, I had mentioned, "I think I have got some mental clarity on the big and very confusing issue that has been quite dominant in my life" referring to above "health challenges and associated financial burden" issue. I also mentioned that some aspects of it were "super-sensitive from a regular worldly life perspective". In the post, I had mentioned this coded point: "Slowly and steadily develop ABRTCBG attitude and approaches like PPV/SK and JS. [Sorry about ABRTCBG, PPV, SK and JS being coded.]"

That mental clarity has continued to be there over the past months. Further, in this calendar year, 2026, I hope to take the first steps of taking it from attitude (well developed in me now) to exploring concrete arrangements, to be used only when needed. The attitude itself has been such a great liberator for me from these issues, and the attitude itself has made me so happy. Exploring concrete arrangements will make such liberation more concrete. I am very convinced that some great spiritual masters of the past had similar attitudes. This includes Shirdi Sai Baba and Ramana Maharshi, whose lives have been a great inspiration for me in leading my lower-middle-class Indian single spiritual aspirant life. Some great masters also followed the 'approaches' (or 'methods') I mentioned in code. I must mention here that these 'approaches'/methods are totally unsuitable for regular family life persons and can be considered appropriate only for unattached and free-from-worldly-obligations spiritual persons. 

That completes the update. Hope the last parts of this post do not make it too strange/weird 😊 for some readers. But I strongly feel that I must mention it, even if part of it is coded. Writing these spiritual posts comes from an urge within (to write and share with any interested readers). So I strongly feel I must write them, even if some parts of them are very strange/weird for some readers. 

After reviewing this post including making minor corrections, I feel quite content. I think I have satisfied my writing urge well 😊.
