I listen to the same raga, same song, several times, with full attachment

 

"I listen to the same raga, same song, several times, with full attachment

 ie with so much full attachment that i get new tastes in it,

new insights in it, new melodies in it, new excitements, new fantasy, new wonders, thus every listening increases my attachment to it much more, probably i may not get detached from it at all in my life time,

 

i get never bored, never tired, never disgusted, but ever wanting to listen again and again can you see why and how this is happening?

 

here lies a principle it is the ability of the subject that matters , not the quality of the object if one is in the awakened stream of consciousness,

everything, from the most grand to the routine trivial becomes charming equally ,sensing the newness of his own newness in whatever object encountered yatha pinde thatha brahmande , even in tasting a chocolate"

 

"When u keep listening to something again and again u become one with it.. u and the the thing forming a self referral pair as if a silent dialog happening with it, the thing becoming a jhoola, to sit on and swing back and forth the jhoola, it is just a routine , nothing new, just oscillating yet one sitting on it and swinging finds immense joy, excitement, fun, liking to play again and again due to one forming a self referral pair with it, when u keep listening to something again and again , that thing acquires a special hue, an aura, a ''holy'' something since u are the stream of consciousness that has wetted it, that has sanctified it, that has enriched its value in other words ,an insignificant, stray, trivial , a chocolate or a straw 

 

straw gains value by association with u, since u are the stream of consciousness here one is in deep attachment yet in a ''nonstick'' unblemished by any attachment all due to one having awakened the stream of consciousness"

 

"In the state of stabilized samadhi, the activity carried out does not bind the doer / no attachment / no residual marks , like a line drawn on water, no trace is left since he is doing in the state of nondoing, so emphasize that the level of consciousness of the doer matters, but not on what is being done or on how many times it is repeated ,"

 

"Detachment does not happen if the activity is repeated any number of times detachment happens thru meditation, which lead one to the experience of the state of samadhi, instantly for a few moments in the initial days kshanika samadhi

 

as sadhana, matures after some time, this state becomes nitya samadhi ,ie, detachment, ie nonstick prevails in activity, whatever it may be, eating, walking, seeing, listening etc , without this sadhana, detachment does not happen even if the activity is repeated any number of times For a real devotee ,the same one name, rama , gives everlasting sweetness, for him its madhurima is ever lasting, never he gets bored never get detached

 

One's creativity makes the routine work too charming , nothing never boring

 

not the task is important , but the doer's level is the significant factor

 

Rasikatha, is the point a rasagna enjoys anything more thoroughly than others

 

since his level is that of rasovaisaha for a commoner classical music is boring for a connoisseur the same lassical music is charming

 

lokobhinna ruche

 

since levels of perception differ

 

''bhais ke aage been, '' --is a saying underlining this point ''pearls before the swine'' is another"

Everything comes from nothing , shunya,

 

Everything comes from nothing , shunya,

The ground state or vacuum state,

it is an inexhaustible field of creativity, energy, orderliness and intelligence:

literally a field of all possibilities.

Everything in the universe—animate and inanimate—emerges from this quantum mechanical level.

 

It is the total potential of Natural Law.

All of the innumerable laws of nature—the impulses of nature's intelligence—responsible for governing all diverse tendencies in the universe, are found here.

This same field of Nature's unlimited potential can be located within each individual at the source of thought, the most settled state of one's awareness.

 

Acting from this level of pure consciousness, one inherits the infinite organizing power of Natural Law, making all things easy of attainment

Human is a guru and is a shishya simultaneously

 

Human is a guru and is a shishya simultaneously

the para aspect ie is chethana, is internal the guru

and apara aspect ie body mind intellect, budhi, is the shishya aspect

the teaching and learning , ie the giving and receiving of silence is continuously happening in human personality

the para, chethana is the guru aspect, it is always young, nitya yavvana ,unchanging , non aging, non dyeing hence ''guror yuva''

the apara aspect is he visible form, body organs , mind, all are the shishya aspect , are anitya, changing, aging, dyeing, hence ''vrudha shishya ''

the essential teaching and learning is the sharing of internal silence

the silence that is existing and flowing from ages thru ages in the form of traditions"

Read more and more------this is the greatest mistake, educated persons do

 

Read more and more------this is the greatest mistake, educated persons do

instead -----write more and more
in every writing you are reading your inner-book more and more
and as you write, you discover more authentic truths from inside,

 far more profound and useful than found in the books 
you will thus be able to update the book knowledge and your written books will become better books than existing books .
and your education is meant for it, and thus it becomes fulfilled .
meditation helps to write creatively , not the reading of books

Dream …this word has multiple meanings

 Dream …this word has multiple meanings/ and so has multiple implications

1 dream is one of the 4 states of consciousness. wake, dream, sleep, turia

2 dream also means to imagine / formulate a target, a plan a course of action, to actualize, some times unrealistic or impossible , a futuristic extrapolation, overcoming the limitations of the waking state

3 day dream is semi conscious, mind trying to relax while still active on a task, a part of attention getting passive, a person driving a vehicle, may cause accident in while in day dreaming

4 dream also a synonym for unreal, mithya ,

5 dream can be a creative design exercise for a engg solution, designers see a problem and perceive different solutions , brain storm, without limitations, and select a possible earthly solution, thus invent some zig fixture tool

6 dream is a canvas for the artist to create the best of beauty / patterns / colours without really using the paper and pencils brushes, prior to actual creation

7 dream is a process to create shapes out of the mind, that serving as a universal molding material,

8 dream's closest meaning is that happens when we sleep , itis essentially a biological purification process that clears the debris in the mind, while that sweeping is taking place, all the components of the dirt assume different patterns/shape/ get connected as a sequence of events linking them to gether at random, with meaning/ without meaning , even absurd/ foolish/ holy/unholy, not having a time frame nor a fixed geo identity ,

9 dream is a reality at its own level, abstract , unclear, changing, melting, vanishing, all ripples of mind in the ocean of consciousness, it is a changing feeble unstable reality , now existing now disappearing

10 dream is like, factory owner , arranging for a cleaning. clearing/ scrapping task, on a holiday when staff is not there,

11 sleep is like , the closing down the factory on holiday , only watch man being there

12  waking is like the factory is full of activity , staff busy in their duty

13  death is like the factory is closed for ever, the owner absconding

14 turia is like the factory totally non existing for a few minutes, only the owner standing alone

15 uses and applications of dream in its multiple meanings, multiple roles are countless, most useful to most useless

16 realized man dreams?sleeps?

yes, but he witnesses the dream and sleep , and can at will continue / stop that process, and wake up if wants

17 dream is a natures gift , so all is welcome what ever happens in the dream, , since it is essentially a cleaning process we need not bother on pure /impure dreams , we do not care to see each particle/ of dust while cleaning , one gets up refreshed after dream

18, sleep is darkness, nothing exists, not even the sense of darkness, it's just not perceivable as long as one is asleep ..however it is a reality of it's own ,it is also a nature's gift , and body requires it as much as the hunger is felt for food, food is nourishing, sleep too is nourishing, one gets recharged. but sleep is known as sleep only when one comes out of it,

19 dream also a is a reality ,it is a loka, swapna loka, with all its inhabitants, man moving conversing interacting , reacting with them, involved in the processes that are happening in that loka, never he feels it is a dream , dream is known as dream only when one comes out of it

20, wake is a reality , it is a loka, bhooloka, all life processes done in wake, but dream and sleep supplementing it , man is 100 percent in trust in its existence, strives hard every moment to earn money, name fame, wants to win, wants to do a lot , never he doubts its existence , wake is known as wake only when one comes out of it

21 turia is a reality, it's the other world, paramdham, unmanifest , one exists as no body , but as pure awareness, nothing other than himself , fully alert , much more alert than the wake, he comes to know that this is the truth of existence , his existence in reality is just awareness nothing less nothing more.

after this experience is gained, his three states gain the needed refinement , he knowing that he is only an actor in the drama of the universe, and he does his role all the more perfectly , though knowing it a mithya, he is untouched unmoved by the success failure , joy sorrow, yet doing his best, he is now established in the reality firmly , and makes his journey masterfully , knowledgeably , every step guided by the light of the turia , here his wake dream sleep all will be rewarding , blissful, a rich life free from any lacks

22 it may be noted that whether sleep dream wake, nothing can be discounted nor discarded as mithya or useless, each has its role , but fullest significance of every moment can be known only with the experience of turia , hence all wise teachers have emphasized the utter need of turia experience, turia being the unmanifest basis for all the manifest universe, once this is mastered one rises to be the master of the universe, and its all lokas

23 for some few dream is a divinity. it's an ideal, probably unreachable, such a dream may take the shape of one's ista, may even come alive , either in dream while sleeping, or actually on earth plane, like vittal standing at the door of the devotee

24, for some few dream is love affair, with one glimpse of the beloved , with just a casual encounter, one's beloved having entered the heart of the lover, yet playing hide and seek, , while on earth plane both remaining away at far distant places,

it's a way of conquering time and space, and seeking the union rather attaining the ''virtual'' union with the ''dream girl '' [or ''dream boy '',]] all filled with sweetness and joy

25 dream is one's privilege, it is one's own '' reality '', beyond the belief / unbelief of others, some discarding as an absurd, since not all can comprehend. the life it self is a surd ,which can not be deciphered by the best brains .

for saints it's a wall- less existence , they reach the right souls in so many ways, dream is one way

26 saint poet potana .. ala vaikunta purambulo---and he could not write further , left ....

and god came probably in dream or in real plane, when he came back, he found the poem completed with precision and beauty ...in dream mind is able to further explore the creativity, and can write what could not be written in the wake

27, tightness/ compactly mind of the waking state gets loosened and space is created, new discoveries will be possible, those discoveries may/ may not be valid in the wake , like suddenly one gets a dream that says at one location gold deposits exists, and the whole govt machinery starts digging and finds no gold but public criticism

28 but the adventure of '' the alchemist '' dreaming for gold leads him in to the inner world, where he becomes the richest alchemist , seeing richness every where . he did pursue a dream / a desire and reached an entirely different world

29 dream can be a vision, for future , company ceo s, they create a vision document , and it becomes the mission for the whole unit , and drives the aspirations and ambitions of every employee from top to bottom , they meticulously plan the detail strategy and implement all the practical steps needed , on the earth plane and achieve unimaginable heights

30 pioneers are dreamers, they are visionaries, they go to any extent risking/ sacrificing their life , till they reach the success , their efforts benefit man kind immensely

31 Lyrical ballads were written by coloridge in dream it seems...........while one is immersed in a theme, in a task, in a trade, in a profession, unknowingly one slips into a reverie

32  reverie is  a state of being pleasantly lost in one's thoughts; a daydream... this happens since the task is now becoming automatic, as if done by the subconscious, requiring not much attention or care , and one enjoys the luxury of unspent/reserve attention to do its own chosen spinning, that is how the folk songs originate, even some times the construction labour start sing- song talks, flirting with each other, ......result is just increased joy

and language loses its rigidity of grammar / syntax, becomes colloquial, vernacular, with local idioms and slang and musical tones set in

33  it is worth noting that Coleridge and words worth valued more their natural flow than the conventional rigidity of poetry rules , and their works stood the test of times , it all proves the mind going into a dream state, has its peculiarity and associated benefit of a sort of ‘’release’’

34 ''Wordsworth and Coleridge set out to overturn what they considered the priggish, learned and highly sculpted forms of 18th century English poetry and bring poetry within the reach of the average person by writing the verses using normal, everyday language. They place an emphasis on the vitality of the living voice that the poor use to express their reality. Using this language also helps assert the universality of human emotions. Even the title of the collection recalls rustic forms of art – the word "lyrical" links the poems with the ancient rustic bards and lends an air of spontaneity, while "ballads" are an oral mode of storytelling used by the common people.''...wikipedia

35 dream experiences range from earthly to heavenly, encountering higher beings , visions seen, voices heard, presence felt....all are one's personal, nothing to do with others approval , these are true to oneself , and oneself interpretes understands by his own ability/ limitations rightly / wrongly .only thing is that such things happen , atheist theist agnostic sees it differently , scientist sees it with logic ,

 36 one's ''self referral'' existence is unconditional, undependent on any object or person, it's most valuable unmatha state , ''that limitless state'' 
love marriages some times fail, since the lover does not find ''the beloved'' in the spouse, one sees the earthly and become disappointed / disgusted 
dream is a dream , and ground reality is different

37 good movies takes one into a dream , the viewer identifying himself with the hero/heroine and living the theme of the movie , forgetting his presence in the theater in that 3 hours, comes out exhilarated, .. so are good novels ,/ prabhanda kaavyaas , paintings, sculpture, music , dance

38 dream while asleep, , or day dream or virtual dream created by the kavi, like the episode of ''varudhini pravaraakhya''has connection with navarasas, funny enjoyable dreams with hasya, srungara, remorseful karuna, nightmarish bheebhatsa, dreadful bhayanak,,

39 where the waking state does not permit , or does not approve, the system finds an escape route , ie dream where exist no bars, it can be like a private rave party, or wild circus, or like a penance in a cave in the mountain, or a jungle, where individual is free, even to do a puja or tapasya or sport with gods, which is not possible in the waking state, yet desire persisting, hence , in dream all is permitted , promethian unbounded

40 quality of dream depends on the purity of the body mind nervous system, if one is pure, beautiful divine dreams of devalok are possible, good persons would like to be good in dream also, like pravara, they swear not to commit sin even in dream , this firm resolve persists in dream also, and acts as a shield against all attractions . however till all the impurities are cleared , some impure dreams may persist, indicative of the cleaning that is happening , so nothing to worry on impure dreams

41 when one had the glimpse of Truth, it makes him to express the ''chunks of that truth'' , ie darshanas, / cognitions,/ insights,/ richas, in a number of ways , in a number of communication mediums, hence ekam sath vipra bahudaa vadanthi, in their lang or slang , as per their feel , they create and create, each a unique product , yet with a sheen of unity

42 even when one is fed up with dreams'..........yet god continues the cleaning operation , sleep is his anesthesia, let the process happen ,but to accelerate the cleaning intensive practice of meditation helps

43 nidra bhangam, should not happen,, one should not ''walk miles and miles before i sleep,'', .sleep deprivation is to be avoided ...a sleeping individual should not be disturbed , ....adequate sleep and in the process adequate dreaming is to be allowed .....yukthaahaara vihaarasya

44 i had a funniest dream, .......in this dream ..i was enlightened in a different way ...a funny revelation occurred .''.ie, in temple do not stand in front of god, , since if you stand in front , god and you , duality exists ...instead, enter the garbha gudi, and stand behind the statue, where you see only the black, blank, back side without the roopa , and i stood for a while accordingly and i found merged with the statue, ..i disappeared..''........this is blasphemy in the waking state, but dream is a dream

45  ‘’i dont dream, i cant dream’’ …one cannot .at will , since ‘’will’’ is asleep , dream happens or does not happen as per the system requirement, duration of dream too … stomach upset or any such signals indicate that either system is getting strained beyond elastic limit, crossing/violating swadharma, so some regulatory action may be required….or… nature is carrying repair/rejuvenation, ….best to allow

It to happen.

A dreamless deep sleep indicates good health and purity

More profound is the ability of Witnessing the sleep and dream, ie when one is deep asleep or in a dream, one comes to know that he is sleeping, or dreaming, he can hear his snoring/ watch his breath , he can continue /discontinue the dream/sleep and wake up as per will , here will is not asleep

That means he has conquered sleep, ie he has attained mastery over one of the 4 survival instincts of nature , …nidra, aahara, bhaya maithuna

While On earth plane , Even in waking state, one unconsciously enters in a reverie, even ethereal , mind in silent dialog with internal ista devatha or with one’s beloved

Creative individuals writers/ poets /artists  create their dream consciously and wantedly driven by the inclination of imagination/ and dwell in that virtual world like kalidas, and give expression to their visit and visions

46  dream experiences may be similar with different individuals, but may / may not be for the same reasons/ causes, comparing may not be advisable.  Analysis of dreams may be /may not be precise.  One’s own feel / conclusion is authentic , and valid for oneself, since dream is a very very personal matter , it is in fact an affair with god, in surrenderful-ness 

There is a reality in some one when he emphatically says ''i know all, i am sarvagna,

 

There is a reality in some one when he emphatically says 

''i know all, i am sarvagna, 
i need not learn any more,
i need not read book, nor blog, 
neither i need to do log nor dialog'' 
because he has wisely learnt that one thing
which makes all other things known

And this is what one intelligent vidyarthi asked his guru to tell that and be done with, instead of making a fruitless journey immersed in heaps of books,

And this is what one intelligent guru gave that one little thing, the silence, thru which all the knowledge gets revealed in the self, guru ever in mauna

This is the tradition which we lost in our pursuit of modern edu, 
which parrots all rot 
except that which is really hot , and can make the student a knowledgeable guy , self sufficient ready with nava navonmesha shalini ,his budhi becoming, offering ready solutions to any problem he faces in life. he reads his internal encyclopedia containing most powerful search engine than google

And such a student is really the --MA.--- master of arts, not the one who dons a convocation attire and receives a degree, and never he is master in any of art, because he does not know the life , the art of supreme doing ever from past till present

And such a educated so called master , not knowing this great possibility of becoming sarvagna, it becomes for him even strange to digest such words as all knowing , and gets puzzled even more, and starts to take shelter under such phrases like attitude/closed mind/not ready to learn etc, lifelong learning etc

Such ancient edu once undergone, one becomes the real master purely delivering the best to the society and universe at large and leads a carefree worthy life, without need of any more.
he has arrived at the goal of all learning and searching and is now blissful overflowing in his creativity and abundance of internal wisdom

He reached such a state where he coolly says i am brahman, all powerful, all knowing, and lives a life in mastery he is really now master of universe jagadguru

To comprehend the reality and possibility of such a state one needs to experience at least once the momentary glance of the absolute, otherwise it makes no meaning to him, and may even dub such a talk as egoistic, claims, surmise, and unbelievable and may even develop hate and dislike towards such valuable messages

One understands or not, such a person need not have to bother but out of compassion, he only utters some advice like bhajagovindam moodhamathe. jaigurudev

my puzzle is that if every being evolves to the highest level, then no more the creation exists

 

 my puzzle is that if every being evolves to the highest level, then no more the creation exists, no more birth growth death , will it all get reduced to zero or vacuum with no life activity at all ??
or who will be the left overs??
what their function or need??
is it a laya, the union or the pralaya, the ttal annihilation??
if so is all evolution leading to only to a permanent death??
then evolutionary steps are they only a process of slow death ?? 
and if so life is it worth living at all??
is our existence just meaningless??

But after several janmas, all jeevas will surely pass the test, and merge in god 
then what will be left??
only god remains , alone and laughing, ??
no more any jeevas,??
or only stones and sand and water and air??
if so , the logic seems that it is not advisable to do raising of consciousness 
so better be ignorant so that creation that is so beautiful will continue to sustain
may be mine is perverted logic but i feel pity that creation will miserably ends
At top there are infinite vacancies, supposing that every one of jeevas evolve to the topmost post , then there is flat, no pyramid, 
whether the activities of the universe organization come to end??
whether universe becomes a closed unit for ever??
since there is no more demand for products, no consumers no producers no distributors, because the top most position is godly with total fulfillment, no wants, no desires, no impulse of any kind 
is that the end we are reaching to ??
if so, is it wise to become enlightened or is it beneficial to be ''ignorant in the long run ??
this is just a hypothetical situation , but surely will become a reality at the final stage

Why at all god created a system that needs periodic maintenance and repair??
being all powerful, why he could not create a flawless all proof perfect universe which functions perfectly all time , not needing any patch work 
this rises a doubt that god is not so powerful as he poses.
out of all he created ''human being'' who always does mistakes , who destroys environ, causes suffering to himself and others , and god watches fun when flood , famine, hud-hud 's happen 
why cannot he prevent mishaps before happening

My puzzle is on what remains after every being evolves to the highest level of god himself ...
will there be universe or is it reduced to nothing, ie vacuum , since after every one reaches the goal there will not be any need for further activity of any kind

If creation is only for destruction at the end, 
why at all the creation in the first place ??

if all evolution is ending with annihilation, 
then is it wise to put so much effort to evolve?

if it is a grand design, then it must endure for ever, 
not become nullified after reaching the ultimate perfection 

if it is liable to get nullified, 
why such a fragile system was designed by the god who is perfect 

you may ignore , but my puzzles remain

Origin of technology

 

 Origin of technology

one of the principle of creation is ''least expenditure of resources'' like energy , time and accomplish the result easiest, i call it a brahma suthra.

mans superiority over other creatures has been to live more according to this , as a result he cognizes the why of things, the science , and devises how of doing things, 

so tools , staring in stone age to iron age to further now the age of IT.

The future of man 's ability is ---to ''do less and accomplish more'', 

leading ultimately ---to ''do nothing, accomplish every thing '' by just wishing it

a table tennis ball which fell on the floor while playing,

will just jump from the floor and rests on the table, by his just wishing it , 

not himself lifting it , not using a detailed technology/mechanism to enable it to come on the table

while doing the chores, 

an aware person cognizes the opportunity / need to do better and better , 

and starts creative thinking leading to first discoveries 

and then leading to gain mastery over every phenomena in nature, 

thus he takes over the reins of running the universe in his hands, 

and becomes a virtually the god, the supreme , 

and may start running the universe too ,

in much better ways than the existing god

Krishna has said  ’’arjuna stand up and fight…cowardice does not befit you ‘’….very good 

But Buddha has given a new solution, the best and practical.

the terrorist Anguli mala simply surrendered in the presence of buddha

Mahatma Gandhi made ahiṁsā famous when he mobilized all of India to free itself from British domination without firing a shot.

Martin Luther King, Jr., the head of the civil rights movement in the U.S., was one of many who were influenced by Gandhi and his use of ahiṁsā to achieve social change without violence.

The Yoga Sutra describes what happens when a person is established in non-injury: “Where non-injury is established, in the vicinity of that, hostile tendencies are eliminated.” (2.35)In Sanskrit: ahiṁsā –pratishthāyāṁ tat-sannidhau vaira-tyāgaḥ.

where is non-injury established? In the state of yoga, which is defined in the second sutra of the Yoga Sutra as the complete settling of the activity of the mind..The settled mind, the mind established in yoga, is free of injury, and the Yoga Sutra says that for this person the environment becomes free of hostility.

St. Francis of Assisi, for instance, was famous for calming people and even animals around him by the sheer power of his love. An individual who has a mind full of peace radiates an influence of peace, and then creates a reality that is peaceful”

in Maharishi’s words, “disallows the birth of an enemy.” When enmity has been eliminated inside, there is no enemy outside. According to Maharishi, “An enemy is the lively embodiment of our own weakness.”

"The principle of non-injury is also described in quantum physics as the Meissner Effect, which shows that a coherent system generates a field around it that is coherent. Non-coherent fields will not penetrate a coherent system.

"In the summer of 1993, 4,000 individuals gathered in Washington, D.C., to see if practicing the Transcendental Meditation technique in groups for two months would affect the crime rate. Dr. John Hagelin, a quantum physicist, predicted that the crime rate would drop by at least 20%. The chief of police went on the evening news and said that it would take a snow blizzard in the middle of summer to accomplish that. washington-dc-meditation-peace-group 

Yet, after two months, public records showed that the crime rate dropped 23%. Since most people’s paradigm about the nature of reality is based upon classical mechanics, this experimental result seems unlikely. However, from a quantum perspective, the Washington, D.C., study follows the same principles as the Meissner Effect and was described long ago in the Yoga Sutra—“in the vicinity of yoga, hostile tendencies are eliminated.”- 

"Taking it a step further, what if throughout our society there were many large groups of individuals who could do their Transcendental Meditation practice together each day to heighten the experience of Yoga?

 Imagine the possibilities. A group of school children meditate and stress levels and violence go down in the neighborhood. A group of elderly people meditate together and their city begins to be more progressive and prosperous. It’s a possibility that could yield profound results both for the individual and for society at virtually no cost, and with great “side-benefits” for each of the individuals involved. It’s worth exploring, isn’t it?

"We are living in an epidemic of stress. Doctors report an alarming rise of stroke, hypertension, and heart disease—now called metabolic syndrome—all of which are diseases of stress. As a result, we would expect to see stressed behavior in society, and it turns out there is plenty of it: crime, domestic violence, terrorism, and war. 

Since meditation provides an effective, scientifically proven way to dissolve individual stress, and if society is composed of individuals, then it seems like common sense to use meditation to similarly defuse societal stress. And reduction in crime and stress-related behavior would then be expected to follow 

"Invincible Defense Technology - An Ancient Human Resource-Based Technology A new solution proven to prevent social problems like terrorism and war is now available. In military circles it is known as Invincible Defense Technology (IDT). It is an ancient human resource-based technology of consciousness that is capable of defusing and eliminating violence and conflict. 

Extensive research has confirmed its effectiveness. This new technology is easily applied and highly cost-effective. With the practical application of the IDT, a field effect of collective consciousness can be created. The intention of the terrorist to commit a hostile act using Improvised Explosive Devices can be deflected by the more powerful influences of collective consciousness. This happens naturally, much as a superconducting magnetic field repels the influence of an intrusive external magnetic field. This latter phenomenon is called the Meissner Effect. The effect of collective consciousness is called the Maharishi Effect. It is named in honor of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the foremost exponent and scientist of consciousness known to our modern age."

It is a cup that is full and overflowing only can give tea to surrounding,

 

Ultimate is self-ness, first , last 
however much a being expands to be universal, it has to be it is bound to be within the allowable limits of his mind body system which is a shell, in reality

Every being has something delicate inside, soft, non material, not having dimensions, with 0 density, colorless, tasteless odorless, so it is infinity in fact , a sky like , free, but 
it is packed in some form, shape, enclosed within the boundaries of skin/hide/ bark/peel/fibre/crust/ shell-----and necessarily made to live and grow within its limits ---tho to limitlessness.
essence is , our life is individualistic , with ''the virtue of selfishness'' [ book b ayn rand ]
quantified, yet having possibilities of growth in quantum jumps

Possible to stretch limits, but up to a limit 
in fact every impulse is to stretch limits, to grow to expand, to multiply , and spread , span the entire universe, as early as possible, as easily as possible, looking for, creating avenues, opportunities , to grow and grow to infinite level

And in the process, as a byproduct, not the main product, ---the growth of the environ also is designed to happen , as a consequence of it, but not the aim of it, the main aim being self-ness , self interest, self preservation, self evolution

Every realized soul has gone thru the journey of self evolution first, ----not selflessness first ----after he attains to a great level., the environ around him gets the influence of his personal growth and starts to respond to his wishes, 
in the evolved state, what can be his wish, tan to share maximum joy to maximum number of people , earliest . his activities spread, not because of his selflessness , but because of his selfish desire to do maximum good to people , and since he is now filled with joy, it starts to overflow

It is a cup that is full and overflowing only can give tea to surrounding,

not the empty or the one with contents scanty. 
empty hands cannot serve

Empty hearts cannot share 
abundance only can share abundance with others 
so first 
one self to become the best, most evolved, most enriched, most enlightened, most fulfilled, most happy, most healthy, most knowledgeable, most powerful, most influential 
and then 
start overflowing, flooding ,

to engulf all in the universe ,

in the waves of joy, in the weaves of love ,

and convert it a heaven

Cow not the only...Om Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu

 

Cow not the only

quote

''Om Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu:
May Peace & Happiness Prevail

Amma has chosen some peace mantras for daily chanting by her devotees and disciples. One of those invocations is Om lokah samastah sukhino bhavantu. Although this mantra does not appear in any of the existent Veda sakhas [Vedic branches], it is an expression of the universal spirit that we find therein1. Let's take a look at what context it appears in and what meaning it carries. The sloka as a whole reads as follows:

svasti prajabhyam paripalayantham nyayeana margena mahim maheesah
gobrahmanebhya shubamsthu nityam lokah samastha sukhino bhavanthu

May there be well being to the people;
May the kings rule the earth along the right path;
May the cattle and the Brahmins have well being forever;
May all the beings in all the worlds become happy;
Peace, peace and peace be everywhere!

The sloka is an invocation for harmony and blessings for all of creation. In ancient days the social structure and form of government differed from ours in many ways, that is why we need not take the literal meaning of this sloka, but the essence.

For peace and harmony to prevail, the kings--i.e. the politicians and leaders--should have a healthy approach towards their subjects and govern according to principles of dharma. This, we sadly note, is very rare indeed in today's world where power and wealth seem to be the prime motivation for the ruling elite. Nevertheless, the ideal remains as it is, and as Amma's teachings are personally influencing countless politicians all over the world, there might yet be light at the end of the tunnel.

Brahmin is one who has either realized his oneness with Brahman, the Absolute, or one who has deducted his life to the pursuit of that realization. Such selfless people are the enlightened thinkers who provide society with a healthy understanding of life. They give guidance to all sections of society, including the political leadership. A Brahmin can also mean a brilliant intellectual who is using his talents to selflessly serve society. Thus for a stable and bright society, it is essential that these Brahmins are healthy. The sage who gave voice to this mantra obviously does not assert Brahmin-hood as a hereditary vocation as found today.

There are many examples in history to demonstrate that Brahmin-hood is an inner quality not dependent on the social status that prevails upon one's birth. We need only to look back to the great sage Veda Vyasa, also known as Krishna Dvaipayana because he had a dark complexion and was born on an island. He was born to a fisherwoman but possessed one of the greatest minds of all times and is universally accepted as a great rishi. He codified the Vedas and composed original works that are famed all over the world for their exquisite spiritual content. Among them are popular works like the Mahabharata and Srimad Bhagavatam, as well as profound treatises on the Ultimate Reality like the Brahma Sutras. In spite of his humble origins, Sage Vyasa is one of the most revered among the plethora of India's spiritual giants.

Amma was born in a community of fisher folk. She was educated only up until the fourth standard and speaks only her mother tongue. Also, most striking of all, she has never studied the scriptures. Yet their wisdom flows from her lips unceasingly, rendering the most abstract truths in simple ways that most anyone can understand. Who would then deny Amma's Brahmin-hood? Amma is directing the world with her wisdom, speaking to large audiences throughout the world, even at the United Nations.

Now, one might wonder about the cattle in this prayer, saying to one's self: "What on earth have I, a city-dwelling modern person, to do with cattle? Shouldn't I rather be praying that my BMW stays in good condition?" We need not be too literal-minded. The ancients didn't use language in such a one-dimensional way as we do. If we contemplate deeply on the meaning of any given mantra, it is likely that it will reveal more and more layers of meaning. "Cattle" signifies nourishment and abundance in general. In ancient time cattle served as a sort of bank account. The number of cattle a person had was the measure of his wealth. Also, the milk was the primary source of livelihood for a large portion of society. Milk and milk products such as ghee comprised the majority of the offerings made into the sacrificial fires used in formal ritual worship. Thus cows are mentioned in many ancient texts as a symbol of plenty. It can be taken symbolically, like "the daily bread."

In today's society, such a prayer, if taken literally, has also a special irony, for cattle ranches around the world have become breeding grounds for diseases like the mad-cow epidemic. When cattle and the rest of the animal kingdom are devoid of well being, humanity will also suffer. Thus harmony between humans and the rest of creation is also stressed in this prayer. Actually cow can be taken as representative of the entire animal kingdom. The Sanskrit word for cattle is "go," which is a most profound Vedic symbol and has many subtle spiritual meanings. Two such secondary meanings are "earth" and "mother," and as such the sloka could also be a prayer for the welfare of Mother Earth. So we need not be worried that God will send a herd of cattle charging through our living room when we pray thus.

The most important aspect of the mantra is that the sage does not pray only for his clan or nation but for the whole world or, more precisely, all the worlds2. This, as Amma tells us and shows us, is the correct way to pray. Instead of asking for something for our self, Amma advises us to pray for the whole creation. Praying for the welfare of all sentient beings--all humans, all animals, all plants—our mind becomes more expansive. Through such prayer we slowly can go beyond our limited egocentric concepts of self to identify with the entire creation, recognizing its true nature to be none other than our own. And as we too are part of the world, we also are benefited from the blessings of the prayer.

Amma's whole life is a constant endeavor to bring happiness to as many beings as possible. Her life verily is this prayer in action. She is showing us the correct attitude by which not only to pray but also by which to live.

While chanting Om lokah samastah sukhino bhavantu next time, let us try to feel deeply for all living beings, and make a resolve to live in this selfless spirit.

May peace and harmony prevail.

we all have all faculties inside to become engineer, doctor, lawyer,

 

1 we all have all faculties inside to become engineer, doctor, lawyer, poet, singer, artist, dramatist, and whatever line , infinite channels .

2 we also have the best of desire to be any one of these or all of these

3 we have faith ,belief ,hope, trust in ourselves, trust in god that we can and we will really become as per our intentions 

but , unfortunately not all who have these 1 2 3 have become really, though they have all the faculties inside , 

but ----only the one ----------------only the one 

who went to the school, college, university , 

to learn from the teachers, the professors , the guides

who did become masters thru learning, from their masters

and then gained the ability to teach and make one to learn and practice and 

become master

Similarly ,,,,,,

all have potentialities, inside, dormant, 

to become , truthful, goodmen, godmen, saints, sants, savanths, 

rishis, maharishis, devarishis, brahmarishis, 

and even to become the supreme, brahman too 

and to become all knowing jagadguru

and to become all powerful jagannath

and to rule the universe at one's beck and call 

we have all the faculties, god has given these , 

as if father kept all the wealth in the safe lockers for inheritance by the sons

and kept the secrete key with his closest friend 

but alas, not knowing that fact, not knowing the key to access the wealth.

the sons are begging in the street, searching from pillar to post 

not finding it during the life

only difference is one out of them could approach the one who knows, who can help, 

and instantly he became the richest, owning the wealth and utilizing it in the real life 

he is no more a beggar now

but all other sons are remaining as beggars

 

Seed of the tree contains everything that tree can be---all potentiality 
to sprout, to grow into a plant, a trunk, a branch, a leaf, a flower, a fruit to grow into full stature become the best flourishing tree

but not all the seeds become trees 

only that seed which has the opportunity to get a little moisture starts sprouting

it's all the essential difference 

so 

potentialities need to be nurtured , to become actualized 

and one, definitely, needs the guidance from the one who knows , one who shows

spirituality costs, any way whether it comes to you door delivery or you go to its door knocking unwary

 

spirituality costs, any way
whether it comes to you door delivery 
or you go to its door knocking unwary
since , for life it is essentially necessary
much more basic than the necessities, comforts , luxury                       

i said it costs
1 you be wise to invest the right cost , in right time, for right thing
with proper evaluation, testing, sampling, inspection, checking user's feedback, eliminate spurious, obsolete, worn out, expired,

choose the best at the lowest price,

preferably home delivered with guarantee,

or at least at a local dealer ,

avoiding to reach the factory, all the way

2 if you are not wise and alert, it costs a life ,

a life time wasted, a life wasted –

if you try to tinker with your own designed thing,

with your ignorance, half knowledge 

any thing cannot be designed and manufactured with 8 th class knowledge,

but requires its special skills, knowledge expertise and experience apart from qualification , above all a professional competence, towards reaching the excellence 

Ya, spirituality really is more costly than a kohinoor, do not underestimate 

And a standard proven, excellent best stuff,

which delivers the good definitely costs, a bit more than the second quality
and cheap counterfeits are available at throw away price.
and useless scrap, rotten, stink is available at junk yards, all free, and plenty 

Diamonds pearls are there in the ocean,
gold silver are available under the earth 

you can go and pick them
or you can buy at shop

think what costs less / more why

Value is the criteria, go for the best, pay its price

True spirituality is the most valuable commodity, 
life saving essential commodity 
more valuable than one's breath and ones very life 
any price you pay is nothing
not at all a play toy, to be kidding with 

I am no joking, i speak with all seriousness and truth, 
though not likeable by all,

---it is with my experience as a back ground 

Value commands price, 

no ads, no marketing, no sale talk,

 no discounts, no free gifts enhance its demand 

only quality , value, originality , purity ------is paramount,

and price will go with it service charges added and after sale service provided , at the nearest branch , for convenience and no delay service 

Choice is yours
my advice is not new----in matters of spirituality

---do not be ''penny wise pound foolish'' 

it's a matter of life’s challenge
not a thing like buying vegetables 

Thank you , you woke from your slumber of frivolousness on a serious matter

''so what do i buy and when .....at which store .''---------------if serious i can give a valid suggestion, you can act on it with confidence, it is based on my enough market search and product research and trials tests with actual results evaluated with sensitive balance 

 

All materials are basically non material, but only spiritual in essence,

if you see it deeper from visual to their inside structure to their physical chemical properties to its elemental, nuclear level electronic to subatomic to the ultimate matter fields, to energy force fields to the field of finest particles to the most fundamental the unified, field the pure consciousness 

so nothing is material all are pure spirit in essence
