Guest guest Posted December 25, 2001 Report Share Posted December 25, 2001 Preamble: Another secret of practice is taught by Swamiji now. This is very important. Observe it carefully. Verse 113 Yadruchchyaa chopapannam hyalpam bahula mevavaa / Neeraagenaiva bhumjeeta abhyaasa samaye muda // During the course of practice, one should not try for his food, but eat whatever he gets cheerfully without any special interest in it. In the practice of meditation, body, clothes, and food cooperate with the being even as they disturb the discipline. A true practicant should not plan for his food, sleep and clothing to cover his body. Some arrange for fan, air-conditioners, pillows for their meditation. Some eat well for practicing religious ceremonies (Vrataas). That can't be proper meditation or proper ceremony. The body has to be subjected to a little rigour in order to keep it controlled in the course of practice of meditation. The practicant has to do the same in respect of his mind, too. He shouldn't care for etiquacy and loss of self-respect. He should not sit where he is praised. His yogic practice will be spoiled if he is not alert. The practicant loses his power if he accepts felicitations, garlands, and let his feet touched in thanks giving. Ordinarily, practicant's practice doesn't accomplish for six births. Meanwhile, he shouldn't disclose his method of practice or state of accomplishment. Send your FREE holiday greetings online! http://greetings.
