Guest guest Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 STUDY GROUP on SPIRITUAL INSTRUCTION CHAPTER 2 PRACTICE (Abhyasa) V3 Q. WHAT ARE THE OTHER METHODS ? M. They are (i) stuti, (ii) japa, (iii) dhyana, (iv) yoga, (v) jnana, etc. (i) stuti is singing the praises of the Lord with a great feeling of devotion. (ii) japa is uttering the names of the gods or sacred mantras like Om either mentally or verbally. (While following the methods of stuti and japa the mind will sometimes be concentrated (lit. closed) and sometimes diffused (lit. open). The vagaries of the mind will not be evident to those who follow these methods). ------------------- [(iii)dhyana (iv)yoga (v)jnana will be posted separately over next 3 days] anu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
