Contemplate on the following
Meditate on any one of these (whichever you like most),
you will be that
yad bhavam tat bhavati |
Space manifests first, then comes
time. When there is time,
events come in succession. Our
mind thinks in terms of space,
time, and events.
Prana acts upon the ether,
Then the five elements come into
being,
The elements combine and various
objects are formed.
Even if you imagine that nothing
exists, there will be space.
You will have to transcend space to
realize the ‘Self’.
Transcending time and space is
Realising the Self.
Try to experience this!
GOD IS EVERYWHERE!
Time and space are eternal.
The Supreme spirit covering all time
and space is
Shree Hari Narayana.
All matter- fire, water, air, earth
and mind and their respective
Qualities emanate from the Supreme
Spirit.
Soul, the Jiva is the infinitesimal part and parcel of Shree Hari,
The Supreme Spirit pervading the
Universe.
Realisation of the fact that the
whole world including the Creator
Is a play of matter and spirit, and
is a cosmic joke is the key to
Freedom and escape from Samsara or
cycle of life and death.
Any devotee who wants to see God in
the name and Form he wants to
See, can see and experience Him in
that name and form.
In reality, the devotee and his mind
itself is also a part and parcel of
The Supreme Spirit encompassing the
whole Universe.
Realisation of this Truth is “Aham
Brahmasmi”. Or “Tat Tvam Asi”.
God has no particular name or form and
is not attached to any
Since He pervades everything.
"Choiceless Total Awareness is True
Living”.
Observe this phenomenon within yourself and
practise it.
“The Atman is hidden in the hearts of
all.
It is seen only by the Seers through
their pure subtle intuition”
[Katha Upanishad 1.3.12]
Each one of us is a part of the
infinite Spirit.
As our mind and heart becomes pure, we
come to get hold of
Our individual inner- self. As we move further and further,
We find that we are all really parts
of a greater Whole
And this is the greatest truth we
need.
We, as souls, are inseparable parts of
the Oversoul,
The Supreme Spirit.
Let us try to awaken in us the
consciousness that we are the Spirit.
Let us try to find that we are all
parts of the one Oversoul.
GOD KNOWS EVERYTHING!
“A playwright knows the plot and
the sequences well before
drafting his play. It is only the
spectator who has to wait for
sequences to be unraveled on the
stage.
So also, a Yogi can perceive by his
contemplation, meditation,
And, yogic powers foresee the
things to come.
The Lord knows the past, present and
the future. He has
simultaneous knowledge of all events
at all times at all places.
Self- realization means the union
of the individual spirit with
The supreme Spirit.
Spiritual initiation brings the
individual Self into harmony with
the supreme Self.
Mind purified of thought is ‘Self”.
‘Self’ filled with thoughts and
desires, is the mind. [Gita VI-35]
Mind is the enemy of one who cannot
control the mind.
Mind is the friend who has won the
mind.
Brihadaaranyaka
Upa.[1-5-9]
Mind is made up of food.
[Chaandogya Upanishad]
Pure food helps to keep purity of
mind.
Pure mind is energy. Pure mind
shines as consciousness.
Indians beware, stale and
contaminated non-vegetarian food
Lead to impure mind leading to
impure thoughts and inhuman
actions.
All dead animals are contaminated
with germs and microbes.
And, human digestive system is not
meant for hard food from
non-vegetarian sources. One should
avoid non-vegetarian food.
He who covets the desirable things,
while brooding on their virtues,
is born amidst these very
surroundings along with the desires.
But for one who has got his wishes
fulfilled and is self-poised, all
Longings vanish even here. [Mundaka
Upanishad III- ii- 2]
Mind is the world and world is our
Mind.
If we want to win the world, we
have to win our Mind.
For a person who has overcome the
mind, he rests peacefully within
Himself; he has no preference for
time and place.
He has no choice since the time and
space have become one.
He is one with Pure Consciousness.
When Mind is merged with
consciousness, there is no ‘becoming’ or
‘attaining’. There is nothing to be
achieved. All this is in the Mind
and that Mind is no more. This
consciousness is the background and
support of mind and all thoughts
that exist.
Mind is to be treated very kindly,
tenderly and should be tutored.
It is the knowledge that frees the
mind and dissolves the Mind.
“The ‘fear’ is the resistance to
movement.
Fear is the feeling, for loss of
attachment, for loss of what we have,
and loss of whom we have.
We are afraid to lose something
and someone since we ourselves do
not matter.
Since we ourselves do not have
self-esteem, we do not value
Our selves and want someone whom
we value higher and by
whom our value increases.
We by ourselves are worthless.
We have to be identified with wealth,
power, position, or by
recognition of some higher
achievement for us to have value and
faith in ourselves or by others.
This self-abnegation, this
ignorance that something, or somebody
is higher, and something makes us
higher, and the fear of losing that,
that makes us feel higher and
better, is the achievement, an
illusion of our Mind.
Otherwise, we have no where to go,
and there is nothing to attain,
to attain and to become.Then there
is no fear, since there is no
‘becoming’ and ‘attaining’.
Conquer fear by knowing fear
There is only one being which is
fearless.
This fearless and deathless entity is our
‘Self’, whose nature is
consciousness and bliss. Its nature
is also intelligence”.
“Antar prajnyam bahir prajnyam,
prajnyam prajnyam eva cha”
“The inner consciousness and the
outer consciousness is one and
the same consciousness”.
If the individual consciousness
is different from outer consciousness,
then each individual would
have seen different sizes of objects,
depending upon the size
of the image etched in their memory”.
“Since all persons and beings
see the same objects, hear the same
sound, taste the same taste,
and experience the same touch of an
object, the seer, the hearer, the
taster and smeller,and experiencer
is one and the same in all the
bodies. But, the interpretation of the
quality of objects being
different from person to
upon one’s likes and dislikes, the
play of the mind”.
“It is the Universal
Consciousness that is reflected in the
Creative intelligence or
consciousness of innumerable beings”.
Just as the reflection changes
according to the quality of the
Reflecting surface, even
though the object is the same, each
Individual soul seated in all
the different beings being one and
the same, sees the same life-size
objects”.
“Going beyond Mind is going
beyond space and time;
Going beyond space and timeis
going beyond Light”.
“Brahmam Satyam, Jagat
Mithyam”. Shri Shankara.
“Brahma is Real and the world
is unreal”.
“Everything exists within Him;
we are in this world and
the entire world is within us,
in the microcosm”.
“Mind is made up of time and
space, the environment in which
The person lives. Mind is a product of his
past experiences,
living conditions, desires
and urges and future ambitions.
A Hindu has a Hindu mind
steeped in rituals, beliefs and
superstition.
A Muslim has a Muslim mind
indoctrinated, fanatic,
and blindly following system
irrespective of time and place.
A Christian Mind has Christian Mind trying to
measure the
immeasurable and judge the
infinite with the finite.
Mind does not change the path
and goes on in a trodden path
by its past memories and experiences”.
“ Mind is the servant of the
ego. The ego is the feeling of
supremacy identified with
the limited adjuncts of the body.
‘Ego’ is truly the master of the Mind. The
Mind has found its
true master in the ego and
serves the ego day in day out.
Ego is based on ignorance
and exists only in isolation.
This ego is not accepted by
any one, since it promotes only
isolation and
exclusiveness”.
“Sangaat samjaayate kaamah,
kaamaat khrodhobhijaayate,
Khrodaatbhavati sammoha,
sammohat smrityvibhramah;
Smritibhramshat
buddhinaasha, buddhinaashat pranashyati!
[Bhagavad Gita, Ch.II –62-63]
“By dwelling in objects
therewith, man develops attachment,
From attachment is born
desire, from thwarted desires comes
Anger; from anger arises delusion, there from confusion of
memory, loss of reason; when
reason is gone, the man is lost”
“Veeta raagabhayakrodha
sthithahdhir muniruchyate”
“That sage who is free from
attachment, fear and anger,
Is a ‘Muni’, of stable
mind, or poised understanding ”.
Man of self-control and
real peace is described as
“One whose thoughts shine
like the cool moon-beams,
whose mind remains
unruffled when confronted with fighting
in death, even as at the
prospect of festivity- he indeed is
called a self-controlled
man of peace”.
[Yoga
Vasishta Mumukshu Khanda 14. 75]
“Blessed are the pure in
heart, for they shall see God”.
[Bible,
St,Mathews 5:8]
