Description

Title of the Theme: “Chitropnishad” Meditation in Paint (Journey towards absolute awareness) Artist : Sunil Balkawade ( Fine Art Spiritual Painter, India) Medium: Acrylic on Canvas. Size: 54” X54” Year: 2010 Brief: “ARUPAT RUPAM” ‘From Formless comes the Form’. Vastusutra Upanishads (5.21) The concept of co-existence of the male (. Bindu) & female (-- Line) principle is alive in every being. We all are living in darkness with confusion and duality, conflict, and tension. We always stay in the divided house against ourselves. For years together I was surrounded by these questions How then do conflict and tension disappear? How anxiety disappears? How to be one? And while searching, I realized “The day you can circulate your energy in a circle you will not need another woman; you will not need another man, because your own man, your own woman will meet and merge into each other. You will be whole, and to be whole is to be holy”. To circulate energy is to circulate light. When your eyes open light is moving outward, when you close your eyes and starts deep breathing the light starts turning inward repent, return (towards darkness- towards black.)And when light falls on your being, there is self-knowledge (Pratibha), self-knowing. This self-knowing brings you freedom, freedom from all entanglements, freedom from all attachments, freedom from death, freedom from body. It creates the soul in you. Neither male nor female, no leaning to any extreme- then there is Balance (Aatma- Santulan). Then one is active & yet remains inactive deep inside, then one is inactive & yet remains active on the outside. Let Sun & Moon meet in you and you be just exactly at the middle. And in the middle is transcendence. Friends, I am portraying a series of Paintings that manifests experiencing Meditation, which starts from ‘Light’… Meditation is a painting series that is the journey of Self Learning in silence to understand the Secret of the Secrets. - Sunil Balkawade ( Fine Art Spiritual Painter, India)
