Guest guest Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 dear friend as per your statement, true meditation is watching the mind movements. It means you are observing your mind, then where is the devotion coming into the picture. infact, in your meditation, there is no God nor divine knowledge or nor devotion or nor service, but you are becoming directly God. It means without any divine knowledge and devotion, you are becoming God. Are you not finding this as climax of absurdity? Devotion means love on Lord and service is the proof of our devotion. Without touching the concept of God you are becoming God. I don't agree to this. at the lotus feet of shri datta swami surya www.universal-spirituality.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 Hi Udaykumar, Its great that you explained in detail what happens during meditation. Thanks. It is something I would like to have done but thought it would have been useless. It is not useless for we are not trying to persuade anyone into anything. Bhakti yoga is also a way of entering the spiritual regions and making the mind more subtle. However it is generally accepted that bhakti yoga can be more effective when combined with Raja Yoga. That is the meaning of Sadhana to develope all aspects of our being, emotional, mental and energetical in order to function in our natural perfect state. That is what is nirvana or moksha. The state for which human has been actually "designed" for, the great hidden potential we have. Vivekananda also used the metaphore of the bird to show the importance of yogas. He advised yogis to be like a bird, have Bhakti Yoga as one wing, Jnana Yoga as the other wing, and Raja Yoga as the guiding tailfeathers. When it comes to Sadguru, the term has been widely misunderstood. I do not give respect to those who demand it for usually they are just into power and controlling the masses through brainwashing. There are true Sadgurus out there who might even have no followers but can help someone spiritually. These are very rare people and one is lucky to meet such ones. I personally have a guru, to whom I owe much due to the initiation and inspiration I received. I see my guru more as a normal teacher though and not as a God. Even if she has attained a state of communion with the divine source, I consider it a blasphemy to utter such a thing. To judge whether one has attained moksha or not, one should have achieved the state of nirguna samadhi onesself. So judging the spiritual state of someone is like claiming divinity. Apart from recognising the obvious frauds of course. There are numerous ones in the spiritual market. Real gurus do not support fanatism and do not demand that their students become their slaves in mind, spirit and heart. True gurus help their disciples discover their own potential and reach the same level as them. They free their students rather than enslaving them. Finally, a guru can be anything. Mother nature can come and teach us in marvelous ways. Friends, internet, tv can be our guru for a moment. Our own karma, thoughts and emotions can be our guru. Its high time we saw things with an open mind and enjoy the great possibilities of this universe without been fanatised in a specific system and guru. , "udaykumar S.K." <udaykumar001> wrote: > > Prakki I totally disagree the statements by swamiji as > for as true meditation is concerned. > > Meditation ends with samadhi which is the deepest > level of meditation where the "ego" is vanished and > sheer self existance is left which also goes away and > a soul is disbursered into universal existance which > we call as god.(the supreme power) > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
