Guest guest Posted November 7, 2002 Report Share Posted November 7, 2002 A tap to www.theHungerSite.com will give somebody a cup of rice. ShalauM! In four Sanskrit lines Bhagavan summarized his teaching: herdaya-huhara-madhyai kaivalaM brahma-mAtram hy aham-aham-iti sAkShAd Atma-rUpaiNa bhAti / herdi visha manasA svaM chinvatA majjatA vA pavana-chalana-raudhAt Atma-niShThau bhava tvam// This mean: madhyai (In the center) kuhara (of the cavern) herdaya (of the heart) [of which Bhagavan has said it is not the red heart on the left, nor the spiritual heart in the middle, but the heart on the right, two digits from the median of the breastbone, above the navel and below the chest---a sthAna, or locus for meditation; but he has also said that any sthAna will do] kaivalam (entirely0 brahma-mAtram (the unmodified Infinite) hy (!!!) iti (As) aham-aham (I-I) sAkShAt (in evidence) bhAti (shines forth) Atma-rUpaiNa (in the form of Self) visha (enter) herdi (the heart) svam (with your own) manasA (mind) [and here he defines the THREE means: chinvatA (by enquiry) vA (or) majjatA (by "drowning" [as the salt doll dissolves in the ocean] raudhAt (after the stilling) chalana (of the motion) pavana (of the inner fire, the breath, the prANas) tvam (You) bhava (become) niShTha: (established in) Atma (the Self). What could be clearer than that restraint of prANa is essential to AtmAniShThatva? What was Bhagavan's first method but to imitate a corpse, surely with restraint of breath? It is also my own experience. but only by grace of that great sage, who transcends place and time. _______________ Help STOP SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
