Quote from the True Charm and Power of
Vedanta
Power of concentration
There is only one way to knowledge and wisdom and that is
through the owner of concentration. Without this power nobody can accomplish anything
in this world. The students who can concentrate their minds fully on their
books are the best students. With the least effort they accomplish the most. The
scientist in his laboratory concentration all the energies of his mind in one
direction and thus discovers the secrets fo Nature. The astronomer fixes his mind,
through his telescope, on sun, moon planets and they give up their secret to
him. He is a good, musician who can concentrate his mind on his music. So also
with artists and every one. This is the only road to knowledge. The more we can
concentrate our minds on the subject of our study, the more rapidly the knowledge
of that subject is revelled to us. Let us see then how to acquire this power of
concentration, since all our wisdom is based on it, especially spiritual wisdom.

An absolute choice

BY ANDREW COHEN
Many, at one time or another, have experienced moments of
liberation, but few have been so deeply affected that their lives have become
transformed as a result. Why is this? Because it is not spiritual experiences
in and of themselves that set us free. It is not the experience of overwhelming
love, unbearable bliss or even penetrating insight that allows people to change
in an extraordinary way. It is the readiness and willingness of the individual
to surrender unconditionally to that which is discovered in the spiritual
experience.
Again, what allows the event of profound insight and
revelation to become extraordinary transformation is ultimately only the
readiness and willingness of the individual to surrender unconditionally to
that which is discovered in the spiritual experience. Spiritual experiences in
and of themselves do not set us free.

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.
