Best teaching is by living the message one wants to convey.
words will bring more words not the desired effect
i look for actions than best words, literature, poetry, even vedas.
what one has done in his life so far ,
to where is his trend , how far nearer he is to the goal ,
and what goal he is working for
what means, medium,
at what rate, what the effect , visibility of performance, preferably in measurable terms
Base is the light of
self realization,
without it things are rumors
it is like , to know engg, maths is the base
To discuss / to know engg , we must pass thru primary, high school inter, with maths, then engg degree.
like we cannot discuss engg subject deeply in a social network , higher things also need a basic qualification of initiation into a meditation process thru a qualified guide, continue the practice and do the prescribed home work, attend higher classes or advanced training, residential camps, listen to master's messages, and clarify the doubts thru sincere questioning, and attain the maturity in sadhana, and evolve in to a higher consciousness,
like engg, this subject too can’t be treated casually, and for fun.
Also any amount of reading/writing of blogs will lead us nowhere, it should lead us to a guru who only can clarify ,not alone by theory ,but ,more important, by practice and direct experience thru which ability will be gained to see things like in day light, instantly, by switching on the light.
it all depends on us how serious are we, and on what the purpose of life is otherwise it is a wasted effort resulting in no gain at the end
tm 4,000 TM & the effect of “ahimsa” in the Yoga Sutra
In the Yoga Sutra, the first of the eight limbs of yoga is called yama. Yama has five aspects, beginning with ahiṁsā, which means ‘non-injury’ or ‘non-violence.’ 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. The word-by-word translation is: “Where non-injury (ahiṁsā) is established (pratishthāyāṁ), in the vicinity (sannidhau) of that (tat), hostile tendencies (vaira) are eliminated (tyāgaḥ).
st-francis-assisiAccording to the Yoga Sutra, where is non-injury established? In the state of yoga, which is defined in the second sūtra 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.
This is where non-violence becomes effective. It is a state of mind that, 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.”
meissner-effectThe 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
.
While it’s possible to understand how this principle applies to individuals, what would happen if a large group were established in the state of yoga?
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-groupYet, 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?https://www.google.com/url…
Single vital reason for degradation is the loss of the light of atma gyan......................
2....single vital solution is individually one to become atmagyani,
then the same topsy-turvy world appears to be most perfect beautifully working
3...you cannot improve the world it is impossible task,
but you can raise your seeing ability which sees divinity working totally perfectly
4....one need not wait for world to improve, till every one becomes ideal perfect person
..in the community of illiterates, a couple of persons can learn and become literate and educated without waiting for all illiterates to become pandits
They did something else instead.
since they did not--- experience the state --------from which rishi cognizes and expresses these truths.
but they are the most sincere followers with utmost faith , more blind belief in their masters,
and did what all they could, in the assumption that they are doing the best duty and service to their beloved , revered master
pitiably not knowing that parrotting is more harm than benefit.
hence the emergence of religion, overshadowing the spirit of the spirituality with a haze of rituals superstitions dos donts sentiments all just the hangama of event management done with extreme indulgence
Man grew, but he now is carrying the props, now props are riding the man , crippling him with burdens and obstacles
The focus has shifted , inevitably from knowing and living to talking preaching, spreading, with motive to earn petty name fame which all great souls spurned in preference to ''being that reality absolutely
So it is now , no more a search for god--or what ever that power, ------but to quickly encash on the ''ignorant'' ''sinners'' gullibility, with a personal agenda and associated propaganda wth all possible marketting techniques and nuances.
yes they are really ''successful'' in their meeting their targets, and have become ''relax'' and ''enjoy'' the super earnings life long ,
and in its wake ,bringing down the society to utter ruin
It's time one looks for the'' proof pudding'', not content with reading the great menu cards in the star ashrams, where there is no'' heat of knowledge '' to bake the cake fully
