Control of Breath and Healing

 

In India they recognize the power of healing and have studied it as a science, but it is not so much discussed as in the West. The monistic system of healing there is much like the Christian Science conception here. It does not recognize any bodily condition as real. No affliction,. It declares, can touch the soul. It holds one idea only: that the Infinite is One without a second, and Thou are That” free from all impurity, free from all disease, death and misery. Of course if we can rise to such heights of consciousness, everything will roll away from us; but it means a very lofty flight. If there is no body naturally we cannot treat a body; so the true monist cannot deal with either good health or ill health.

The idea of healing which we find in the lives of Jesus the Christ, Sri Krishna , Buddha , Guranga and other great Saviors is the same. There is only one-ideal that the Divine can work wonders through us. Are we willing to give ourselves to that divine Being? Are we really willing to offer our hands, our heat, our mind, everything we possess our every faculty and gift, wholly without any thought of return? If we are then even miracles of healing may be accomplished through us. There are here and there people who succeed in eliminating all their egoistic sense. They offer themselves wholly to God, and God works through them. They do not ask anything in return. And this is the only safe force of healing . The other methods are merely experiments-sometimes they work and sometime they do not.. Or some times they seek to work but the cure is not permanent.

 

Truly righteous living brings happiness to all

 

By Bhupender Yadav

 

All that is righteous is right, but all that is right may not be righteous. To give an example in the legal parlance, living by law is right, but living by moral law is righteousness. ‘Nyaya’ is a Sanskrit word that means ‘right or justice’. Etymologically, the word means ‘that by which man is guided’ to righteousness, to do the right thing. Righteousness is an uncodified moral law that we must turn to for attaching meaning to life.

 

Why are we suddenly finding it so difficult to attach meaning to life, despite doing the right things? We are all constantly complaining about being too overworked, tired, and anxious. More work has brought us more money, amenities and luxuries, but it has taken away our little joys, our peace. That is because in our race to the top, we have lost balance. We need to learn the art of staying calmly active and actively calm.

 

The next obvious question is how does one learn that art? It is easier said than done. To find calmness within, we must first find faith. To find faith we must turn to the philosophy of universal religion that Swami Vivekananda introduced us to. He taught us that to love God, realise Him and feel that ‘all are one’ is the true understanding of religion. It regulates human life. He taught us if there is no inner life, there is no religion either, for how can religion have meaning without faith.

 

 

In moving away from the Inner Self, we have traded faith for symbolism and given it the name of religion. Righteousness is what makes religion dynamic, instead of letting it be some stone-etched concept. It allows religion to flow, prosper and grow. It teaches us that modern is not always progressive, but being progressive that we must all aspire for, because that will help us evolve.

 

The Bhagwad Gita is the message of dharma, righteous living, delivered by Krishn. The very first shlok of the Gita begins with the word ‘dharmakshetra’, the field of righteousness. Dharma connotes righteousness, nobility, proper conduct – a philosophy of life which makes you a worthy and progressive citizen of the world.

 

Progress is not disruptive. It is the natural order of things. Progress does not scatter things, rather it unifies – oneness in all perspectives of life. When someone or society achieves that oneness, it spreads happiness and fulfilment. Sustainable development is the path of righteousness.

 

The equilibrating law of karma is that of action and reaction, cause and effect, sowing and reaping. In the course of ‘rita’, natural righteousness, each man, by his thoughts and actions, becomes the moulder of his destiny. Whatever universal energies he himself, wisely or unwisely, has set in motion must return to him as their starting point, like a circle inexorably completing itself.

 

Sanatan dharma, eternal righteousness, is entirely different from self-righteousness, which not only misleads one but is also disruptive for society. Humanity has suffered since ages because of this self-righteousness, ‘holier than thou’ attitude, of people or sects. Eternal righteousness is rooted in the idea of ‘Sarve Bhavantu Sukhinah’ – happiness to all.

IF HE EXIST

 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 7 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 7 minutes a day. But, if He exists? I am afraid you are wasting your entire lifetime. I prefer to waste 7 minutes rather than a lifetime. Why should you grudge me the 7minutes joy that I derive 4m.-
