How can you please the world. There are so many tongues, so much talk, so many opinions, so many remarks. This world is a strange mixture of Sattwa, Rajas and Tamas. Tamasic people are in abundance. Their nature is to always find fault and pronounce unnecessary criticism. Therefore, follow the dictates of your conscience and the promptings of your soul. Even if the whole world opposes you, fear not. Never move a fraction of an inch from your firm resolve and determination. Stand up and proclaim the truth Even if the whole world leaves you, fear not. The inner ruler stands at your side in your heart. #SriSwamiSivananda

The vital point in concentration is to bring the mind to the same point again and again, by limiting its movements in a small circle in the beginning. That is the main aim. A time will come when the mind will stick to one point alone. There should be one line of thought only. There should be continuity of thought, like the steady flow of oil from one vessel to another, like the continuous sound of a church bell. You must be very regular in your practice of meditation. You must sit daily both in the morning and evening at the same hour. The meditative mood will manifest by itself without much exertion. You must sit in the same place, in the same room. Regularity in meditation is of great importance and is a sine qua non. Even if you do not realize any tangible result in the practice, you must plod on with faith, sincerity, patience, earnestness and perseverance. All your efforts will be crowned with success after some time. Do not stop this practice even for a day, under any circumstance, even if you are ailing. Meditation is a first-class tonic. The wave of meditation will remove all sorts of diseases. It will infuse spiritual strength and give new vigor and vitality. #SriSwamiSivananda

The single eye in the forehead of man possesses spherical vision. In meditation that vision gradually expands for the yogi into an ineffable sphere of constantly changing luminosity, blissful and omnipresent. After experiencing this vibratory vision of Aum as the Cosmic Light, the emancipated yogi goes beyond all delusive relativities of vibrations. He then feels and realizes the Transcendental Lord - He who exists behind the transitory dreams of cosmic matter and its myriad components of cells, molecules, atoms, electrons and protons, "lifetrons" (prana or energy), and "thoughtrons" (the ultimate basis of matter). In the transcendental state, God spins out His dreams of ideational, astral, and physical universes. The physical cosmos, with its many "island universes" floating in the eternal void, is encircled by a nimbus of radiant energy that melts away into the larger astral world. The astral cosmos is a grander manifestation of creation than the physical, and runs through and beyond the latter. In the astral cosmos many luminous galaxies of various densities, with their astral solar and stellar systems, are roving in a vaster sphere of eternity. The largest or causal cosmos contains countless causal galactic systems with their suns and planets, roaming all through the physical and astral cosmoses and far beyond their boundaries to the outermost sphere of vibratory space. The causal universe is the womb of creation. In the causal universe, God's finest creative forces of consciousness, and highly evolved beings with their intuitive processes, objectify universes from subtle divine thought forces. Through pure soul intuition, an accomplished yogi can behold the physical cosmos and its beings as the cosmic dream of God. Or he can project his consciousness into the astral world and perceive its panorama of indescribably beautiful island universes and beings made of etherial blendings of various coloured lights. Or he can lift his consciousness into the sublime causal sphere, with its galaxies upon galaxies of dazzling wisdom-objects and beings and their interactions - a glorious diadem in the eternally still, endless skies of spirit. The yogi who has attained complete control over his consciousness can behold the physical, astral, or causal worlds or go beyond to the transcendant vibrationless region of God. He is able to perceive one portion of the Lord's consciousness as the transcendental eternal peace, and another portion as the ripple of cosmic dreams - the worlds of creation. It is the vibrationless, blessed consciousness of God that in the last analysis is the causative and omniscient Supporter of the dream Cosmos and all its forces, subtle and gross. The manifestations of the Divine are in evidence in the cosmic dream, but He - the Ruler - remains hidden. #ParamahansaYogananda

"Just allow yourself to sit quietly. Don't do anything. Just allow the sitting and the breathing to take place. Don't strive; relaxation will come. When you are completely relaxed, healing will take place on its own." #ThichNhatHanh

Don't try to be someone else.... The cosmos has come together and helped you manifest in this way, and you are beautiful just as you are. #ThichNhatHanh

"Those who commit to nothing are distracted by everything." #BhagavadGita

The real world is not the problem - the world around your mind is the problem. #OSHO

Never think too much about a dilemma. Answers come to a relaxed mind. Time allows things to fall into place. A calm attitude yields the best results. #LaoTsu

Between two thoughts there is an interval of no thought. That interval is the Self, the Atman. It is pure Awareness only. #YogVashistha

When a holy man has reached the summit of two paths (meditative concentration and insight), he knows the truth and all his fetters fall away.

"When the unreal is taken for the real, then the real becomes unreal; where non-existence is taken for existence, then existence becomes non-existence." #TsaoHsuehChin

The fool thinks peace comes by controlling the mind. He will never attain it. The wise one knows Truth, and is stillness itself. #AshtavakraGita

IF YOU HAVE TIME FOR NOSTR YOU HAVE TIME TO MEDITATE. 😌

Happy Sunday ❤️‍🔥🙏🌞
