Dear ,
Direct Experience~ Swami Rama 
All human beings want to attain a state of happiness that is free from all pains and fears. This can be attained by practicing a self-training method. The ancients described such a program in the traditional yogic manuscripts; it provides us with a way to reach a state of health on all levels. In following this program we learn through direct experience, and that alone is valid; it cannot be challenged by anyone. Most people are influenced by the opinions of others; they rarely take the opportunity to form their own opinions. Suggestion has been the very basis of modern life, and few of us draw our conclusions from direct experience. But without having direct experience, the information that we gather from external forces always remains questionable. That is why we need confirmation from others. Even in our relationships at home we expect others to tell us that it is good to do this or that: âYou look goodâ; âYour clothes are niceâ; âYou speak wellâ. These expressions show that we constantly seek the confirmation and appreciation of others because we are not sure on our own that we are doing well. Read more |
Mind, Emotions, and Spiritual Progress~ Swami Veda Bharati Emotions have a function. Itâs a detailed study, and some of this study is found in the Sanskrit texts of literary criticism, or analysis; what constitutes literature. I speak of the baseline emotion that an individual maintains. We all maintain a baseline emotion. It could be anger, it could be sorrow, it could be fear. And, in that baseline emotion, as you write letters against a line, other emotions rise and fall, and that is what constitutes literature. Your whole life is literature. If you were to write every thought that has occurred in you from the moment of stirring in the motherâs womb to the last lying still in the lap of Mother Death, what a novel, what a piece of literature that would be! A person who is making spiritual progress has total control over the functions of the mind and functions of the emotions. He wants to feel love, he feels love. He wants to feel neutrality, he feels neutrality. He does not wish to feel hatred, he chooses not to feel hatred. He wants to exhibit anger without being angry, he exhibits anger without being angry. He chooses to love, and thereby loves. He chooses to be neutral, and thereby becomes neutral. He chooses the intensity of the exhibition/expression of love, to that chosen intensity and degree he or she expresses/communicates that love. And the rest he or she, withholds. Read More |
