His attitude is: 'O God, Thou art the Master, and I am Thy servant. Thou art the Mother, and I am Thy child.' Or again: 'Thou art my Father and Mother. Thou art the Whole, and I am a part.' He doesn't like to say, 'I am Brahman' " om tat sat ~~~~~~om shanthi om ~~~~~~ Extrait du Gospel de Sri Ramakrishna p.133 Lundi 8/11/99 Le Maître Dit: " savez-vous comment pense-t'il, un amoureux de Dieu ? Son attitude est comme ceci: 'O Mon Dieu, Vous êtes le Maître, et moi, je suis le servante. Vous êtes la Mère, et moi je suis Votre enfant. Aussi, 'Vous êtes mon Père et ma Mère. Vous êtes le Tout, et moi, je suis une pièce.' Il n'aime pas dire, 'je suis Brahman' " om tat sat ~~~~~~om shanthi om~~~~~~ RE: Anurag Goel <anurag Hypnotism I heard a lecture on hypnotism n came with some thoughts. The extent to which a subject carries out the commands of hypnotiser depends on the imagination n strength of the mind of boy. Boy needed to be given a thought n brought in to the hypnotic state (deeper level of mind). Here the boy has been connected to the outer world through the help of hpnotiser. Hynotiser is a communication link btw the hypnotised person n outer world. Also in hypnotic sleep the mind of the subject is in total control of hypnotiser the control will be much more if the subject has done that willingly. i think Because of this connection with the hypnotiser, mind of the subject is stationary on one thought n it's not wandering n we can see the power of mind when concentrated on single thought. I think Miracles happen in hynotism for the mind of the hypnotised person in just concentrated on single thought n the thought is the one which has been given by the hypnotiser n also that our ego doesn't interfere in btw to destroy the strength of thought. ( We can check this by asking a hynotiser to ask the subject to think abt many things n then ask him to do some task. I guess the result will not be that gr8 as it was when only single task was given to subject. It can be dangerous too for the subject may get lost in the many thoughts and may not respond to hynotiser but i guess it may not be dangerous because then the control of mind will get transferred to the subject himself n the subject will then go in to state of normal sleep frm the hynotised sleep and the subject will wake up all well after the sleep is over and since the body and mind are not tired therefore the person will very soon return to normal waking condition frm the hynotic sleep.) We can do the same thing ourselves w/o the need of hynotiser if we learn to control our mind n concentrate on single thought. This is one of the things which we gain in meditation. We r going in to unconscious but we r still conscious. I guess meditation is something like self hypnosis. In meditation our mind will wander for it's our mind n we have the acess to our mind so all that is in mind will pop up now we have to control our mind by just concentrating on single thought which is pious n all perfect. It's very important that the thought on which one is concentrating be all pious n perfect for if that is not the case then the probability of mind getting lost in thoughts which r already present in one's psyche will be high. I guess the results of hypnosis can decay for it's not something that belongs to us but the results of Meditation will stay with us for longer duration for it's something that we have done ourselves. Results of hypnosis n meditation will decay unless we change our conscious life style n thoughts. There r two minds n depending on their degree of waking we will go in to different levels of counciousness. Something like we will experience different degree of temp when we put two hands in to separate beakers containing fluids n the temp of two fluids is varied. _____________ Anuragji Namaste ! Excellent article ! It is so very true about the concentrating of one's mind on one objective. All great scientific and religious inspirations have come from this very process. Also all the great political achievements of individuals [both good and bad] can be directly attributed to this discipline. In modern times, we call it 'focusing'. Here is a frightening thought: I believe that any person, who sets his/her mind to something, keeping only the future objective in focus, eliminating all other irrelevancies, will achieve anything desired. Case in point: " Adolf Hitler " . Now, here is a man who formed his ideas, while crouching in the muddy trenches of France, during the 1914-18 war. In the following years, he took step after careful step, always keeping his objective in mind. Surrounding himself only with those who were useful to his plan, he ignored all distracting influences. Totally concentrated on his goal, was this human aberration, consumed by the fires of ignorance, hatred and vengeance. And yet, this 'Austrian Corporal in the Bavarian Army' was given the 'keys to the kingdom'. Why ? Because he willed it ! While others were having a good time, he was slowly plodding along to his destiny.....! Now, tell me, isn't that a frightening thought ? om shanthi om ____ 123India - India's Premier Search Engine Get your Free Email Account at http://www.123india.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
