> "fox" <www955> what to do when emotions arises/ body hurts ?!?> Shankar: You said:"...one must keep at this, until all impressions are dissolved."> Have you actually reached this point?

 

No. But, I am an earnest and sincere aspirant on the path.

 

> What should I do when my body hurts? I suffer from Chronique Fatigue Syndrome.> I meditate on 'feeling being' and suddenly my eyes hurt like hell.> able to be without any thoughts for about 10 min., but I certainly feel EMOTIONS during that time.

> For example I feel boredom very fast coming during medidation.

> So, how to deal with emotions? Are they different from thought?

 

All emotions are also thoughts but are thoughts geared by the Ida Spiritual Nerve to the Left of the Spine.

Whereas the non-emotional thoughts are those geared by the Pingala Spiritual Nerve to the Right of the Spine.

Body-consciousness is the root thought 'I am this body'. On which all thoughts are strung as flowers on a thread

You must be very happy that you are able to keep the mind still for about 10 minutes.

 

When you feel pain, that is the time for you to stop meditating.

And then, you must go to sleep.

Do not worry that you are not able to meditate.

Just love Self-Enquiry. That is all.

When you get the feeling of boredom, you must stop also.

 

Try to grasp what Saint Sri Sadhu Aum says.

Things will necessarily fall in line.

I am such an ordinary person.

Things have fallen in line for me.

 

Literal Translation of Verse 230 of Essence of Spiritual Effort by Saint Sri Sadhu Aum:

In (my) saying, 'again and again approach',

why (I) picked up (this matter), and stated, as to who this 'Chit' was,

is because, until the impression, ('rising' by) 'leaving' this (Chit), (and) 'removing' (us from our abidance in this Chit), subsides,

(it) appears (to be) like 'coming' (and) 'going',

(and) only (to) love (and) attempt (to approach this Chit), is the 'appropriate' pursuit.

 

Simple Explanatory Note:

Saint Sri Sadhu Aum lovingly advises us 'to repeatedly approach' this one inner awareness between sleeping and waking states.

He has also stated as to what this 'Awareness' is.

Because, we now have the impression that this one inner awareness, keeps coming and going.

This impression must go. And that too, must go off permanently.

Until then, we must love and repeatedly approach this 'One Inner Awareness'.

He has described this state of 'Awareness'. So that, we may know It. Understand It. And then, love It.

With love, we can then repeatedly approach and permanently abide in It.

Then, there will be no more this business of Its coming and going.

Only then, we will be one with It. And then, we will be That.

 

I post the sayings of Saint Sri Sadhu Aum which are appropriate to the context.

But, you can also download many of His works which I have translated into English.

Particularly, the 'Essence of Spiritual Effort', from the website address 'www.nonduality.com\shankar1.htm'.

My beloved friend Jerry is the owner of this website as well as the 'iam'.

If you have problem in downloading, I can personally send the files in MS Word 6.0 for Windows format.

 

Thanks and kind regards

RK Shankar
