Jan's Sadhana

[Guest guest]

Quoting from Jan on the nondualitysalon. The quote at the end by Purohit

Swami is very beautiful and profound.

 

After some four months of witnessing, something happened that all of a

sudden brought a most pleasant kind of happiness. The full realization of it

became a full time target; all other activities were automatically scaled

down to background processing. After an eight months "adventure with K." it

was clear that "effort & work" had ended. At that time I had found Purohit

Swami's translation and commentary of the Patanjali Sutras and according to

him spiritual knowledge should be renounced too*. This took some unusual "

hard work", after which peace was uninterrupted. It still isn't "the end of

the road" but nothing it left that cares about that.

Life is easy indeed,

Jan

"Worldly power is intoxicating; spiritual power is more intoxicating; but

when the yogi refuses to be drawn into it, his mind refuses to love and

hate, accepts what comes without effort, as the result of past karma. There

is no new desire, no new fuel to feed the fire, the last embers are fast

dying out, reduced to cold ashes, the last impressions on the mind die out,

and the mind finds its rest in Self, dissolves itself in Self, loses its

identity, loses its personality, becomes Self itself."
