Primarily life revolves around living around the “Gate of Will and the World” where conditions of survival, competitions, wars, conflicts, love and hate bring out passions and desires of life and thus create turmoil and stirring of suffering and joy.  Successful arts, literature, music etc.  mostly tell stories about this world. Once one remolds one`s reality with the power of the “higher mind” one arrives at the next level of experience where the qualities of life is intimately connected to the power of creativity. By projecting the life through imagination and the power of creativity one may build a reality which is not a product of chaotic movements of the primary gate which is described above. Thus by creating one`s  own “reality” one chooses the mental sphere which may bring meaning to one`s life outside the sphere of turmoil and suffering. Once one arrives at this gate then one may discover a transcendental realm . Passing through it one discovers a non-perceptible world which emerges in the shapes of abstract ideas and thoughts. Mind, which is free from the bondage of the world, becomes the foundation of freedom and meaning of life around this gate. It brings one to the next stage - a contemplative way of living. Above this contemplative world lies the “realm of God”.

During this passage from one gate to the other the “crowd” decreases by many orders. One may feel more and more lonely as one moves towards higher gates.  Though one may feel more and more alone one experiences vaster realm of existence, which is one with the universe and God.

For Anup Rej thelife has been a journey of freedom from the instinct bound world and a search for an enlightened way.
