Guest guest Posted September 22, 2000 Report Share Posted September 22, 2000 Dear list members: Here is a meditation that I know, which practically originates from aitareya brAhmaNA, uses dvaita as stepping stone, and helps in achieving the highest advaitic reality at the final goal, at the same time helping common people get the benefits of yoga and prANAyAmA. ABSTRACT A person may have the sweetest manners on the earth, but I can prove that the person is rude! Any bets? mitrA, the lord of exhalation is friend of all; and varuNA, dread of touch, (also the lord of terror,) is the lord of inhalation. (AB) People breathe, they inhale as well as exhale. When one inhales, the mind as hotR invokes varuNA dread of touch, and when one exhales the mind as hotR invokes mitrA friend of all. To the extent one inhales one is rude and violent; people may not even know about it. To the extent one exhales one is a friend of all. The Jainist view that world is peaceful is false. There is as much violence in the world as there is peace. This does not mean a license to practice and preach violence. The Existence is one without a second, in which there is neither peace nor violence. Neither fragrance of a flower nor fetid smell of rotten food. One who knows this continues to inhale and exhale; not because one is forced to by past karmAs, but as a prime mover of this world. This will be my last post. Thanks for every one's attention. With warm regards Bhadraiah Mallampalli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
