THE INWARD PRACTISE OF MEDITATION MUST BE RELATED TO PRACTICAL LIVING The purpose of meditation is to bring about self-integration in man. By self-integration, we mean that the three aspects of man, the mind, body and spirit, should become and function as a unit. Meditation helps to bring about this state of being, which is very...
CONSCIOUSNESS THROUGH WAKING, DREAMING, AND SLEEP We experience four states of consciousness: the sleeping, the waking, the dreaming, and the fourth one is the turiya state. That is a Sanskrit term beyond the three we know of. When a person falls asleep, the question is, does consciousness continue? And if consciousness does continue, why are we...
LET GO AND SEE HOW MUCH HAPPIER YOU WILL BECOME It is hard to forget the mind. Thoughts emerge and shift like a merry-go-round. At one moment, you are thinking about supper, then a comment someone made, then the kids, and perhaps somewhere else. Nothing wrong—it is the nature of the mind. Let it happen, but...
THE PURPOSE OF EVOLUTION IS TO REACH BACK TO STILLNESS There are no old souls, nor are there any young souls. Since the primordial Big Bang, all the particles that were shot forth have the same age. There is no old soul, and there is no young soul. The soul is not what was shot forth....
YOU ARE GOVERNED BY YOUR PAST EXPERIENCES Thought, word, and action are totally interrelated, because the thought brings about speech, and the speech brings about action, and vice versa. Because action could guide your speech, and action could guide your thoughts as well.
THE PHYSICAL BODY CANNOT EXIST WITHOUT THE SUBTLE BODY You do not need to recognise the ego to go beyond it, because that would become a mental process, and the mind itself is ego, so the ego is trying to find the ego. It is like saying that you will see your own eyes. You cannot....
ACCEPTANCE IS THE FIRST STEP IN DEALING WITH NEGATIVITY If, subconsciously, the negativity within oneself comes to the fore and produces adverse circumstances, then one has to accept it because accepting it is dealing with it. In everyday life, we find that the expressions of our experiences and thoughts, whatever they may be, are so deeply...
MAN NEEDS SOMETHING TANGIBLE TO APPROACH THE ABSTRACT We know that the spiritual energy that exists in the universe is abstract. The human mind is so constructed that it could never conceive of anything abstract, because it is tangible in a very fine, subtle form of energy. In contrast, the abstract is an energy beyond all...
THE PERSONAL GOD IS STILL A LIMITED DIVINITY WITH QUALIFICATIONS In meditation, you have Savikalpa Samadhi, which is meditation with form, and Nivrikalpa Samadhi, which is meditation without form. In Nivrikalpa samadhi, the totality of the mind is still not transcended, but you have reached the finest level of the mind, the finest level of the...
Supporting Loved Ones Through Difficulties Mental illness in the family is just to be accepted for what it is. It is just common sense to do our best for those who are mentally affected or schizophrenic, or paranoid, or whatever. I could name you a hundred diseases, and some of them are considered terminal. The family...
