Guest guest Posted July 3, 2001 Report Share Posted July 3, 2001 Life in physical plane is a mere preparation for the eternal life of everlasting sunshine and joy which is to come when one gets knowledge of the Self through intense and constant meditation after purifying the mind. This immortal life of supreme joy is described as the ‘Kingdom of Heaven’ in the Bible. That Kingdom of Heaven is within you, in your heart. Realise this Immortal Life, O Susil! by controlling the mind, and enjoy the Supreme Bliss of the Self.<br><br>The secrets of Yoga Sastra can only be imparted to that student who is Jita-Indriya and Abhyasasura, who has devotion to Guru, who has Vairagya, discrimination, who is firm in his determination and who has strong conviction in the existence of God.<br><br>The mind is single, but it appears dual in dreaming state as the perceiver and the perceived, through the power of Maya or illusion. The mind itself takes forms of rose, mountain, elephant, river, ocean, enemy, etc. Just as heat is inseparable from fire, so also fluctuation is inseparable from mind. It makes the mind restless. This fluctuation is caused by the power of Rajas. Its is the fluctuation that causes Asanti (absence of peace of mind). The Bhaktas remove this tossing by japa, Upasana and worship of Ishtadevata.<br><br>(to continue...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
