Where to
Begin and How
You can really
learn what you really want to Learning is certainly of great importance to us
as individuals or as members of society. unfortunateately, many of us reach a
certain stage of learning and go through the remainder of lives coasting on the
knowledge acquired till then. But to learn more what you need is right attitude
till then. But to learn more what you need is right attitude. Above this,
curiosity, enthusiasm. Interest, concentration. Problem, solving memory and
imagination, are all necessary ingredients for learning. Curiosity is the
starter, interest and enthusiasm are low gears, concentration and memory high
gears; and accomplishment is the smooth level ride, none of us know it all-or
ever will. I think that when we stop learning we begin to stagnate-to die.
Everybody knows the cliché, we learn something new everyday. But do we? Can you
honestly say that you learn something
new everyday? There are probably many things you’d like to learn, but haven’t
yet.
This brings us
to crux of the matte. That is the difference between the with to learn and the
will to learn. How many times you have said to yourself. “I wish I could do
that” or “I wish I had the ability for this? Well, you can wish and wish but
never really learn anything . it is the will to learn that creates wonders.
Suppose you have gone through an art museum or, seen some good paintings
anywhere, you may have said in an offhand manner. “I wish I understood, or
knew, a little bit about art”, and that was the end of it.
But if the will
to learn is present, you can learn to understand art. I’m sure. If you look
around, you’ll find many paces that teach art appreciation. If there is no such
place near you, you can take a correspondence course. As a matter of fact,
if you look hard enough, you will find
that you can even take some of them free of charge.
The important
thing here is to begin . Start learning a subject because you’re interested in
it, because you want to and you’ll continue to learn. Do you want to learn how
to play golf, to tennis; how to make a speech; write a story; be a better
salesman? Speak a foreign language or drive a car. When it comes to acquiring
knowledge, you have to be aware that
knowledge never goes in vain. Nevertheless the acquisition of knowledge with a
particular aim is always s of a great use. So if you want to learn anything.
Start by looking over the entire field of thing you want to learn and proceed
till you master it.
Quote from
True Charm and Power of Vedanta
Raja –Yoga
In
non-philosophical language. Raja-Yoga is the science and art of concentrating
the mind. A mind which lacks one-pointed ness or concentration can never be a
fit instrument for the realization of Truth. At moments when a man’s mind is
perfectly calm and still, the Truth some time suddenly dawns on him even though
he has not consciously sought for it. When there is no wave or ripple disturbs
the surface of the lake, the moon is clearly reflected. In the same way when
the mind thoughts (which have been compared by contemplatives “to dust, to
swarms of flies. scorpion”) it is possible for it to glimpse the fact
concentration of the mind even for a few minutes, the highest . Truth will be
his . But how difficult is such an achievement! The mind’s tendency is always t
wander, to roam over heaven and earth, to take the past and future in its
sweep. And the more you try to control it by mere force of will, the more
unruly it becomes. From the depths of the subconscious rise thoughts which are
some times frightening rise thoughts which are some times frightening to look
at, One feels tired, distressed, and disheartened at the seeming futility of
the struggle., patanjali who first spoke of Raja-yoga, analyses most minutely
the nature and working of the mind and suggests ways no demons of bring it
under control and making it clam . yoga according to him, is the method of
stopping the modifications of the mind –stuff., just as the surface of lake
undergoes modifications. In the shape of waves and ripples, when lashed by the
wind and therefore cannot reflect the moon. in the same way our wandering
thoughts which blot out the visions of Truth are modification of the
mind-stuff, resulting farm reactions to various experiences-past and present-in
life. Raja-yoga reaches the method of presenting the mind from undergoing
unnecessary modifications and giving vent to purposeless thoughts.
The Practice of
Raja-Yoga actually consists of many stages. Yama, Niyama, Asana, Prana, yama,
Partyahara, Dharana, Dhayana, and Samadhi.
But, if He
exists?
I drive joy
There was a doctor in Benaras who spent 7 minutes in the morning and evening
for mediation on God. Knowing this, his colleagues and friends laughed at him.
One day they argued that he was wasting ten precious minutes on something,
which he had been misled into believing. The doctor replied, “Well, if God does
not exist, I agree that I am wasting ten minutes a day. But, if He exists? I am
afraid you are wasting your entire lifetime. I prefer to waste ten minutes rather
than a lifetime. Why should you grudge me the 10 minutes joy that I derive 4m.
