Guest guest Posted August 21, 2005 Report Share Posted August 21, 2005 Then the petty life of hurry, worry, excitement, and competition will seem to you as nothing when compared to the everlasting life of eternal sunshine and bliss in the Atman within. It is a great pity that almost all people have totally ignored the simpler happy inner life of introspection and have caught hold of false toys of Maya, such as money, women, power, name, fame, position etc., Sooner or later the experience of the world, the knocks and blows of the mundane life, will force them to turn their minds inwards to realize the true, lasting happiness. If you really aspire to unfold the lurking Divinity within, if you really want to get rid of the miseries of this Samsara, you must know the principles and technique of thought-control. You must know the ways of right living, right thinking, right speaking and right acting. You must practice the five rules of Yama or right conduct or Sadachara. You must know how to withdraw the mind from external objects and fix it on one point. You must know the right method of concentration and meditation. Then alone you can be really happy. Then and then alone will have power, independence and suzerainty. Then and then alone you will attain immortality, freedom and perfection. (This book can be read from www.saileelas.org/books).
