Fervent practice of one's given Path of yoga leads to purity of body/mind/spirit.

Fervent practice of one's given Path of yoga leads to purity of

body/mind/spirit.

 

Shakti fills the body densely with resonant radiance, dissolving the storehouse

of impressions superimposed on the mind. Suddenly the waking "I" consciousness

impacts the unconscious (jagrat-sushupti). The mind transforms to flows of

bhakti, and deepens into Gyan (jnana), by itself. Suddenly, there is a

"hearing" - a sense of recollection, as though coming out of an amnesia - The

mind's attention and identity to images is relinquished, and you abide as

single, pervasive, unconditioned being/consciousness, in which the world appears

within - without a seer, neither near, nor far.

 

Leaving aside discussion and conjecture, simple daily practice (sadhana) leads

to Purity in Heart (prabupati). The non-dual scriptures all begin with this

simple phase, that those that are pure will be fit to "hear" the message in the

scriptures and realize their non-dual Self and abide as That.

 

Even Christ repeats, "The pure in Heart shall see God" (Heart and God both mean

"I AM") - for "... those that have ears to hear..."

What is this spirit? How does 'that spirit' get impure? I donot know

whose writings are all this?

What is this Shakti that fills the body? All impressive words and I have

no idea what all these high sounding words mean?

 

Sounds like realization is some kind of magic!

What is this waking "I" consciousness and by default, is there sleeping

"I" consciousness and what is this 'impacting the unconscious'? I am all

baffled!

Mind is jadam how does it transform by itself?

What is this 'hearing' and amnesia - When do 'you' comein and the mind

relinqueses all that due to 'hearing'?

That I agree.

What is this simple phase in the non-duality?

I donot know where these fancy sounding words come from. Frankly I donot

understand these high sounding words?

Namaste,

Shakti can never dissolve the storehouse of superimpositions. This

happens only by jnana. Also a knower of brahman is not the same as

his body and so his body does not undergo any transformation as you

are suggesting.

Is this your version of advaita or Sankara's?

This is not a statement indicating non-duality. Seeing God is not the

goal of life for an advaitin. God (Ishwara/saguNa brahman) is only a

shadowy personality in advaita, shining due to brahman. Purity of

heart is of limited help in advaita. The true realization comes only

with the knowledge of the identity of Atman and brahman.

 

BTW, Heart does not mean "I AM" in advaita. It is an unreal

superimposition on the Self.

 

Advaita and Christianity are diagonally opposed to each other if at

all you have noticed it. Christianity is closer to dvaita of Madhva.

And for God's sake let us keep this discussion confined to Advaita

and Advaita alone.

Namaste!

 

Caution. This thread may exceed Sri Ram's limit for an entire post!

 

Though by itself, it might be one of those notorious

one-liners we've been hearing about.

 

Just joking! Advaitins DO have a sense of humor! :-)

 

Only the MEAN prophets and priests lack humor...

 

Om!

Namaste,

 

IMO it is the purification of the Buddhi or intellect that cleans the

scum off the mirror. The cleansing of vasanas and samskaras allows

for the Vijnanamayakosa to be 'perfect'. I admit there is a pranic

cleansing that happens also, with some people, how much this has to

do with realisation I don't know. Some call it kundalini, and doesn't

result in final realisation.

 

With regard to Jesus say 'the pure of heart', yes he was talking of

the inner organs here, and he did say be ye perfect as my Father in

heaven is perfect.

 

However the 'I Am', or YHVH of the Hebrews is of course the Sakti.

However Advaita is much more non dual than that, not allowing for any

attributes or qualifications for the Divinity at all......ONS...Tony.
