 Quote from the True charm and power of Vedanta

 

To weed out the inferiority complex

 


Those who tend to believe that they are culturally socially and intellectually inferior should, first of all, shake off their inferiority complex. Though it might be deep-rooted it should be possible to weed it out. Of course, it is not so easy throwing away an unwanted article .our first and foremost need –nay duty is to develop confidence in our own immense power, which is latent. in the past seers and men of spiritual insights tried to impress upon us that behind the apparently limited powers of man are hidden unlimited mysterious powers. If only we had the skill to discover them. Today psychologists are reaffirming the same fact with the help of their experimental observations. To arouse the powers, nothing more than self-confidence is required. We should strive to rise from the state in which we are right now. We should gradually attain success, scaling each step through effort.

 Whatever negative attitude we might have developed that debilitates us should be curbed. We have to develop a technique to strengthen into self-confidence. This of course is not something that can be accomplished in a single day. Though it may appear impossible in the beginning patience and sustained effort will help us to overcome difficulties and to gain confidence. Confidence is nothing but the feeling of assurance that deep within us there is a store of abundant energy waiting to be released. The lack of this assurance leads to anxiety tar, doubt, inefficiency and all kinds of debility and weakness. This self-confidence enables us not to crave for the mercy of the influential and the powerful prevents us from developing a sense of raging hate saves us from dejection and gives us the inspiration to stand on our own feet. The urge to utilize every opportunity and succeed in life proceeds from this very spirit of self-confidence. .

 

          
  Swami Vivekananda says that it is the greatest sin to believe that one is weakling and sinner if we have to believe anything let us believe that we are all children of God, that we are all his parts and we share with Him His unlimited energy and His unlimited sense of bliss.

 

Tuning in to self-reflection for peace sake

By Daisaku Ikeda

 

As the Ukrainian crisis escalates with dark clouds looming over the world, the UN High Level Forum on the Culture of Peace was held on September 6 in New York. Building the Culture of Peace has been a priority theme for the UN since 2000, based on the lessons learnt from the last century beset by war and violence.

 With armed conflict still continuing in different parts of the world, there is no doubt that the road ahead is long and winding. But we must make further efforts to turn around the situation. A breakthrough could be made by turning our gaze to the conditions of those affected by conflict and working together to eliminate existing and emerging threats to peace.

 
Here, I would like to cite an episode from the life of Gautama Buddha to illustrate the importance of such a perspective. Living in ancient India, he often witnessed violent confrontations over resources. When two tribal groups, one of which is considered to have been related to his family line, were in conflict over water, instead of focusing on their identities or confrontation, he turned his attention to the actual conditions in which people on both sides were suffering from a desperate shortage of water, saying that they were like fish writhing in shallow water.

 

He identified what he considered to be the essence of the problem: “I perceived a single, invisible arrow piercing the hearts of the people.” Their minds were clouded, and they could not recognise that the other group shared their concerns over the lack of water or the constant fear of being attacked and overrun.

 

The tensions over water resources probably escalated because the members of both groups felt compelled to protect the lives of their loved ones and community. Once the minds of the conflicting groups are dominated by fear, however, there is not much that can stop tragedy from unfolding. The Buddha pointed out, “Look at those who fight, ready to kill. Fear arises from taking up arms and preparing to strike.”

 

Conflicts today remain the same in their essential nature. It is, therefore, crucially important to direct our attention to the plight of those affected most severely by lingering conflict and work to earnestly seek ways to remove their suffering.

 As many people have understood through their experience of the pandemic, the terrible grief of suddenly losing family members is the same for people in any country, and such tragedies are in essence the same.

 The Indian economist Amartya Sen has been a leading advocate of the idea that “the plurality of our identities” can play a key role in helping people resist the pull of mass psychology and the incitements to violence that provoke conflict.

 In order to help the culture of peace take root the world over, it is necessary to patiently counteract any incidence of hatred and confrontation that may arise.

 We are, by virtue of being human, endowed with the tools that we need for this pursuit: the tuning fork of self-reflection with which to imagine the pain of others as if it were our own; the bridge of dialogue over which to reach out to anyone, anywhere; and the shovel and hoe of friendship with which to cultivate even the most barren and desolate of wastelands.

 

Even if there are those within another group who are oriented toward violence and intolerance, the spiral of hatred is only accelerated when we view that entire group as our enemy. What we need to do is to unite across our differences to establish clear and universal opposition to all acts of intolerance or violence.

IF HE EXISTS

 I drive joy there was a doctor in Benaras who spent 7 minutes in the morning and evening for meditation 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.-

Concentration Its spiritual uses

 Quote from the True charm and power of Vedanta

 

Concentration Its spiritual uses

Yoga is restraining the mind –stuff (chittha from taking various forms (Vrittis)


A good deal of explanation is necessary here. We have to understand what Chitta is and what the Vrittis are. I have eyes. Eyes do not see. Take away the brain centre which is in the head the eyes will still be there, the retina complete, as also the picture of objects on them and yet the eyes will not see. So the eyes are only a secondary instrument, not the organ of vision  is in a never centre of the brain. The two eyes will not be sufficient. Sometimes a man is asleep with his eyes open. The light is there and the picture is there but a third thing is necessary-the mind must be joined to the organ. The eye is the external instrument we need also the brain centre and the agency of the mind. Carriages roll down in street and you do not hear them. Why? Because your mind has not attached itself to the organ of hearing. First, there is the instrument, then there is the organ and the third mind is attached to these two. Mind takes the impression further in and presents it to the determinative faculty –Buddhi-which is acting. Along with this reaction flashes the idea of egoism. Then the mixture of action and reaction is presented to the Purusha, the real Soul who perceives an object in the mixture. The Organ (Indriyas) together with the mind (Manas) the determinate faculty. (Buddhi) and egoism (Ahankara) from the group called the Antahkarana (the internal instrument)They are but various processes in the mind-stuff , called  Chitta. The waves of thought in the Ghitta are called Verittis (literally “whirl pool”) What is thought? Thought is a force as is gravitation or repulsion from the infinite storehouse of force in nature, the instrument called Chitta, takes hold of some absorbs it and sounds it out as thought , . Force is supplied to us through food and out of that food the body obtains the power of motion, etc .Others the finer forces , it throws out in what we call thought. So, we see that the mind is not intelligent, yet it appears to be intelligent, why? Because the intelligent soul is behind it.

Lighting lamps to celebrate Bandi Chhor Diwas

By Stuti Malhotra


Deepavali is celebrated as Bandi Chhor Diwas among the Sikhs all over the world. ‘Bandi’ means ‘prisoner’, ‘chhor’ – ‘release’. On this day, the Sikh guru, Guru Hargobind, was released by Jahangir from the Gwalior Fort and he arrived in Amritsar. Son of Guru Arjan Dev, Guru Hargobind became the sixth Sikh guru at the age of 11. And when he returned to Amritsar, he was not alone. Along came 52 rajas from different states, who had been imprisoned by the Mughal ruler under different pretexts – for political reasons, or for not being able to pay hefty tributes to him. They had been languishing in the prison in deep misery for years.

 

Legend has it that when Jahangir ordered the release of Guru Hargobind, the sixth guru refused to leave unless accompanied by the 52 rajas imprisoned there. Jahangir agreed but with a condition – ‘whoever can hold on to the Guru’s cloak can be released.


Out of deep compassion for the prisoners, Guru Hargobind had a unique cloak designed. It was a garment with a hem that had 52 corners, tails. The Guru then walked out of the fort with 52 rajas in tow, each holding on to a tail of the Guru’s special cloak. Guru came out of the fort reciting the Bani of Guru Arjan Dev: “Gayee bohore bandi chhor Nirankar dukhdari” – I fall back to the favour of one and only one, thus my chains are loosened and my miseries are banished by the emancipator – the Bandi Chhor. Since then, the Guru came to be known as Bandi Chhor – the Great Deliverer.

The Sikhs light candles in their homes to celebrate this event. To them too, the light symbolises the triumphing of goodness over evil and darkness.

The way Guru Hargobind showed generosity to the imprisoned rajas, the same model of compassion needs to be followed in contemporary times. The Guru taught us that one should be open-minded and not have any bias against anybody. Though he had been imprisoned by Jahangir, they later became friends when the Guru jumped in front of a charging lion that was about to kill the Mughal king and saved him. He subsequently became Jahangir’s royal guest at the fort. They would go hunting together. This is possible only when one has compassion for all and is beyond any hatred and jealousy.

Guru Hargobind later went on to set up the Akal Takht that faces the entrance to the Golden Temple. It was here that the Guru sat as an administrator, brandishing two swords – Miri and Piri – representing temporal authority and spiritual investiture, respectively.

When Swami Ramdas first met Guru Hargobind, in Kashmir, he was astounded by the latter’s military and regal garb and inquired as to how his saintliness blended with it. The Guru replied, “Batan fakiri, zahir amiri” – saintliness within and authority outside.

We too need to follow the teachings of the Guru and balance our spiritual life,  saintliness within, with our worldly life, the authority outside, to liberate ourselves from daily challenges. And think of everyone’s wellbeing, not just your own, because in everyone’s welfare is hidden your own wellbeing too.

Loyalty

Quote from the True charm and power of Vedanta

 

LOYALTY


Loyalty is love which never wavers, which is always steady, unquestioning, deep total. It is also one sided not based on any expectation it is its own reward, love for its own sake.

True religion is this kind of loyalty to God, whether as a person or as an idea. A truly religious man never for a moment doubts that God exists. he is there always with him sometimes within sometimes without watching over him helping him guiding him at the root of his being the source of his inspiration not separate from him , at one level God and he are one and the same.

If God is a person He is clear, well defined with a from the from the devotee likes best handsome ever benign, love personified. Sometimes the devotee merges into Him sometimes God merges into the devotee they becomes one. As if God deliberately becomes human with all the faults and frailties of the devotee so that they can be closer to each other, enjoy each other’s company, have fun together laugh and play. everyday they devise new games, devise new ways of teasing each other, sometimes they love sight of each other but the separation even if for a moment, is unbearable and soon they are gain together love redubbed. This is how the play goes on interminably


Religion is love of God whether as a person or as an idea. Either way this love works miracles. It changes the devotee into what he thinks God is. If he thinks God is purity he become pure himself. If God is goodness he becomes good himself. A man changes according to the company he keeps. Being in the company of God all the time the acquires the qualities he attributes to God. This being in the company of God is what is called religion God may be an imaginary being, but the change takes place all the same . This is because to a devotee God is real. He is as real as he himself. If possible more  . Even if God is only an idea that idea is concrete to the devotee. That idea possesses him, changing him completely . He is that idea personified it is he loyalty that triggers life change.

 

 Addiction and return of the prodigal son

 By Narayani Ganesh


Addicts are commonly dependent on chemical substances – like alcohol, tobacco products and psychotropic drugs – or even gambling, impulsive shopping, and stuffing one’s face with food, to ‘help’ them tide over each day. Although addictive behaviour is often hereditary and is largely a medical condition, addicts and their empathisers assign reasons for chemical and other dependency, almost ignoring the disease – addiction is a disease – and focussing on triggers like losing one’s job, dumped by a lover, financial losses, work pressure, bad marriage and so on. The addict may further overdose because of guilt and shame that bring low self-esteem, preventing him from asking for help and discussing his condition.

Social stigma, loss of self-worth and fear of rejection pushes the addict deeper into addiction and in extreme cases, leads to death either by suicide or failing mental and/or physical health.

When the prodigal son leaves home after demanding and taking his share of wealth that he spends on drinking and gambling, living dangerously, he finds he has no more means. Now penitent but full of shame, he journeys homeward, resolving to live a ‘servant’s life’. And atone for his wayward behaviour.

Espying him from a distance, his father rushes forward, welcoming him with a warm and forgiving embrace, relieved that the son he thought dead was back, alive. The miffed older brother is hurt that the prodigal’s return is celebrated with fatted calf while he, always virtuous and dutiful, was never given special treatment.

Vernon E Johnson in his I’ll Quit Tomorrow uses the Biblical story to say that forgiveness entails acceptance by not only the father but the brother too in this case – it should help the addict accept and forgive himself to facilitate healing and recovery.

Addicts are caught between their behaviour and their values that are contradictory, leading to poor self-worth that could lead to self-harm. Johnson quotes an addict: “I’m a civil war!” He is a single but divided entity … Hence, Krishn says in the Gita, verse 16:16, “Bewildered by innumerable fancies, trapped in the web of delusion, addicted to desires and enjoyments, they descend into hellish suffering.”

Danish philosopher Soren Kierkegaard expresses despair thus: “Oh, what a miserable wretch I am. Oh, how unbearable it is to be me.” Such feelings lead to a downward spiral. Lifting oneself up requires not just self-effort but also family, peer and societal support, perhaps therapy and/or rehab, in addition to access to spiritual vistas that can open up a promising present and future. Any spiritual practice like meditation, reflection, pranayam and chanting, in moderate doses, can greatly improve holistic wellbeing and boost self-worth and help the practitioner realise that the jivatma, the individual self, is an intrinsic part of Paramatma, the Universal Self suffused with powerful energy.

A multi-disciplinary approach with self-effort and faith can enable a better life. Interestingly, Johnson mentions that for any addict, the four stages of recovery are admission, compliance, acceptance and surrender. The exact same thing is said in the spiritual domain – for the seeker, the four stages of progress on the path to Self-realisation are to first admit that you need help to overcome the ego and material addiction, then show compliance with your guru’s guidance, accept your imperfections, and surrender so that transformation can happen, that could lead to non-attachment and transcendence.

In search of Religion

 

Quote from the True charm and power of Vedanta

 

In search of Religion


Spiritual truths are not knowledge to the ordinary sense. They do not come from outside they evolve from within and transform one’s whole life. Religion is being and becoming. But nevertheless, the laws of the spiritual life are true and true for all times, and for all places. There is no mystery about them. Anybody can test them, provided he is ready to undergo the required discipline. Scientific truths are known through intellect spiritual truths are realized by dint of inner discipline. They are upon to all. Whereas scientific truths are known to have given way even after thousands of years when new facts were available so spiritual truth has failed the test of time,. The prophets of all ages and lands say the same thing-though couched in different forms and words. Let us take a simple example: “God listens to the earnest prayer of a longing heart” so many prophets have said this same thing. The latest prophet only repeats the same things with new emphasis born of his personal conviction. The man in the street may have faith in these words but any person with an open mind who tires this for himself realizes the truth of the statement. Thousands of people from time immemorial have known it and proved it. They may disbelieve anything else, but it would be hard for them to deny this. For they have directly realized this fact. A direct experience can stand again any amount of theories and speculations. The prophets only say ‘Follow this particular method and you will be convicted of what we say “The difficulty is that ordinary people want to test the sayings of saints through the power of the intellect. But intellect is no good in the sphere. To know a given thing even in science a particular instrument is necessary. You cannot see a distant star with a microscope nor can you detect malarial parasites with a surgeon’s knife. Similarly through the help of intellect, however powerful you cannot test spiritual truths. For that inner discipline is what is required. But very few people are ready to fulfil these conditions, and can arrive at the correct conclusion.,

 

Live in divine consciousness to raise immunity

By James Anderson

 


We have to rethink our immunity. It is a need of the hour. At present, humanity is edging towards a cliff-edge. It is also a critical time in the evolution of the human species.

 

Our first line of defence is our natural immunity: factors like lifestyle, diet, rest and sleep come to play. It calls for basic common sense and a respect for the body’s role in our wellbeing. However, we find this level under threat, bombarded by toxic conditions and successive pharmaceutical interventions. These conditions only lay the ground for future mutations, given that man’s natural defences are being suppressed or swept aside by artificial measures.

Society repeatedly falls back on material solutions and that has created a vast industry. But we are not inert matter; we embody a living soul. Humanity needs to urgently raise the level of it comprising a more subtle body that leaves a ‘nervous envelope’, which is our perfect armour. Its vibrations possess a certain density and range a few inches over the physical substance. If the shield is preserved and kept intact, we can walk through any pandemic without alarm. This consciousness to discover its immune birthright.

We have to be responsible for our immunity. Largely though, we remain ignorant of our resources. But the human make-up gives him the capacity to defend himself. Sri Aurobindo and the Mother have alluded to it often. Around each organ and surrounding our gross body, defence has been proven by experience.

 


So we need to work on our body and refine its consciousness. We need to subtilise our physical and stay present with it so that it becomes a conscious instrument. The subtle physical possesses far greater capacities than its gross counterpart. When we direct consciousness onto the body, a living and dynamic Presence emerges. With this, a stronger safeguard is erected though this is not always a consequence of spirituality but arises from living more in balance and alignment. It is accessible to all. However, it truly helps to become conscious of this shield. This sheath can be nurtured with our consciousness to fortify the protection. If punctured, it allows mischievous forces to enter and create havoc. This is an occult domain which can be reinforced by spiritual approaches.

 

Thus, we have to be vigilant against negative states which undermine our immunity. Fear renders protection obsolete. Over time in Integral Yoga, we find protection assumes a more psychic quality. As we practise, we become conscious of those inner movements, which jeopardise our inner balance and harmony. Disequilibrium is the foundation of all disease. Wrong movements prompt us to take a wrong turning in life and erode our immunity. Behold the hidden malaise of desire. This immunity requires what the Mother terms, “a constant inner relation with the inner Divine Presence”.

 

In Integral Yoga, we aim to open all our nature to the Force of transformation and the body is always the last link. The catalyst is the relationship of the body with the evolving soul, psychic being, and it is only this entity which affords the supreme immunity and takes the body to the threshold of transformation.

 

We need to walk through life with an abiding faith in the Divine. There is no greater protection than that: to consciously reside in the Mother’s Cocoon of white protective Light. Definitive immunity always comes from invoking and living in the Divine Consciousness.

Towards the goal supreme

 Quote from the True charm and power of Vedanta

 

Towards the goal  supreme

 


The unripe mind may be Satvic, Rajasic or Tamasic . those who have the Satvic mind are religious by nature. They have a keen desire to realize God, to walk along the path of righteousness and to do good to others,. They strive also to acquire their qualities but due to various treasons such as misfortune, physical unfitness of their thinking themselves week and incompetent, they do not advance far and easily lose heart. Those who have the Rajasic mind are so much engrossed with the world and worldly pursuits that they do not bother themselves much about religion, or they pretend to be religious or at the utmost try to make the best of both worlds. Those who have Tamas are mostly the evil-doers. Their only thought and endeavor is how to injure and ruin others. They are lustful greedy –sinners.


persons of an unripe mind who devote themselves to doing good to their country or to the world, or who build up institutions for allied purposes, do more harm than good to the world in the long run despite their lofty aims. They cannot long remain faithful to their higher ideals amidst the various blows and counterblows of the world they succumb to temptations in spite of hard struggles. The desires for name, fame, position and power grow strong in them, while jealousy hatred narrowness and selfishness get such a hold over them that all their work ends in smoke. Not only that, but by infecting society with the poison which is within them, they even corrupt many well-meaning persons, and arouse suspicion and mistrust in the public mind towards all philanthropic works and religious bodies and institutions and even against religion itself.

 

Nine-step blueprint to raise our consciousness

By Manish Garg

 


Navratri is the core principle of teachings in the Shakti tradition. It is a reminder to every practitioner to rise from lower to higher consciousness.

 

Before proceeding further, let us have some clarity on the glossary. Bhaga is purity. Agni is considered the symbol of purity and the colour of fire is called Bhagwa. One who possesses roop, beauty, is roopwaan; one who possesses dhan, wealth, is dhanwaan; similarly, the one who has Bhaga, the purity of consciousness, is called Bhagwan.

 

Equally, for the feminine gender, one who possesses roop is roopwati; one who possesses dhan is dhanwati; similarly, the one who has Bhaga, the purity of consciousness, is Bhagwati. Shakti tradition is primarily matriarchal, therefore, the principal deity is Bhagwati. Every committed practitioner is a Parvati, who has to ascend the parvat, mountain, of tapasya, arduous hard work, and immerse herself into a yajna, an enterprise of the evolution of consciousness.

Navratri codifies the practice of Bhagwati. It is the code of discipline that a Parvati has to undertake to become Bhagwati, pure.

Day one starts at the manifested lowest form of consciousness as the daughter of stone Shailputri. Day two is dedicated to Brahmcharni, the stony sadhak goes through a strong physical and mental discipline to tame her body and mind and makes herself ready for the next level of progression.

On day three, the practitioner gains stability on the strong foundation of discipline and Parvati enters the practice of meditation. Serenity of mind is denoted as Chandraghanta. Meditation makes her pure and full of divine possibilities as Kushmanda, on day four of the journey. This divine possibility bears fruit in the form of vairagya, skand, detachment. At this stage the practitioner is called Skandmata. Continuous practice on the path, powered by discipline, devotion and dispassion bestows the sadhak with supreme knowledge. At this stage the practitioner is called Katyayani.

 

Blessed with knowledge and detachment, the practitioner continues through a very long time – Kaalratri – and attains a state of supreme tranquility, Mahagouri. The practice reaches the state of perfection – Siddhidatri. The sadhak becomes Durga, the highest state of consciousness, and finally overcomes the entire heaviness – lassitude, sloppiness and ignorance – of his consciousness called Mahishasur.

 

Durga is the one who has conquered the durg, fort of her ignorance. Durga is the one who has performed the most durgam, onerous, task of winning over the demons of her consciousness.

 

Consciousness is the controlling element of this existence, and the purpose of existence is the evolution of consciousness from jad, inert, to chetan, animate.  Navratri is the journey from jad to chetan.

 

We need to devote nine days, in other words, our entire life towards intense discipline and meditation to raise our consciousness and win over the heaviness of our mind, body and consciousness.
