Organize your mind

Mind is the great lever of all things; human thought is the process by which human ends are ultimately answered. Daniel Webster

There is only one thing that can help you avoid chaos in business, in social dealings-

-Organisation. Without it everything would fall apart: there would be no learning no science, no knowledge; no writing, no creative thinking, no competitive business-nothing!

This should be obvious to you. One’s entire life is built around organisation from the moment of birth-even from the moment of conception. The world we live in the universe, everything about us is organised. All our activities, whether they be directed towards making a living, or enjoying ourselves, or both, are planned and organised.

An expectant mother follows a definite regimen suggested by her obstetrician. After the baby is born, he is fed, bathed, and made to rest according to a definite system. Even his food consists of a formula of paned ingredients.

Likewise, when the child starts school, he is faced with more order, planning and organisation. And so it goes, until he becomes the reluctant participant in a carefully organised funeral, So, from conception to death, we must organise our pursuits or activities even our joys and sorrows above all we should organise our thinking. However , it doesn’t mean that you should organise your thinking just to aid you in your business or job; although that is quite an important part of the entire picture. I mean you should organise your mind in general –for all things throughout the rest of your life. If you look at life with an organised mind instead of through the proverbial rose—coloured glasses (although they have their place, too), you will surely see success and happiness form a much better vantage point. If you manage to organise your mind, you will organise and manage your life very well.

To organise your mind is to control it, and according to Charles Darwin “The highest possible stage in moral culture is when we recognise that we ought to control our thoughts” Basically, organisation is simply a question of systematisation. That is why the business would use so many efficiency experts. One should be like a good short order cook at work during a busy lunch hour. The fastest most efficient , easiest and best way of doing anything including thinking, is the organised way. The short –order cook example is a good instance of advance preparation, which is most important step in organisation. Preparation , planning ahead , anticipating and getting ready for minor difficulties or obstacles is all part of or synonymous with organisation.

So commence the year 2017 with well –organised mindset.  Courtesy wisdom

The Threefold spiritual realisation

To the ordinary mind the three standpoints appear to be contradictory but to the seer they represent the three stages in the process of spiritual evolution through which man passes in his search after Reality, Swami Vivekananda puts this clearly – “The religions of the unthinking masses all over the world must be and have always been, of a God who is outside of the universe, who lives to heaven, who governs from that place, and who is punisher of the bad and rewarder of the good and so on. As man advanced spiritually he began to feel that God was omnipresent, that He was not a distant God, but clearly the Soul of all souls. And is few individuals who had developed enough and were pure enough, went still further- And they found at last that they and the Father were one”

Man’s conception of God evolves with the evolution of his own consciousness. As he comes to possess higher and higher conceptions of himself, his idea of the Divine Principle also grows grander and grander, and the relationship between the two the worshiper and the worshiped , becomes more and more intimate, until perfect union, nay, even unity is established. “O Lord,” declared the fully illumined Hindu devotee endowed with all inclusive vision. “when I identify myself with the body, I look upon You as my Master and myself as Your servant, When I think of myself as the individualised soul. I regard You as the infinite Whole as myself as Your part. When I look upon myself as the Spirit transcending all limitations, my individuality is lost in You and I realize that i am verily Yourself” A similar ideas is expressed by St John of the cross, the great Christian mystic, when he says that in the last rung of the mystical ladder, divine love “makes the soul to be entirely assimilated to God” This is a experience which only a few can gain, and of those who gain it, none can really describe this state of ‘absolute assimilation with the Divine Essence’ courtesy essential of spiritual life

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.

God the Wicked

God the Wicked

This is an astonishing phrase used by Swami Vivekanda. In the same strain he has also said, ‘God the poor’ God the ignorant’ Not only he, even his Master ,Sri Ramakrishna, has said similar thing . Is all this not blasphemy?

There is a whole philosophy behind such expressions, according to this philosophy, man is essentially divine. He is divine, but his divinity is hidden. It is like the full moon is always full, though it is not always so seen. Sometimes it is not seen at all. Whether the moon is seen a t all or not, and however distorted it may be seen sometimes, it always remains what it really is –the full moon.

This simile aptly describes man’s real nature and how it is seen distorted. Wickedness is not his real nature, it is only a distortion. This distortion can be corrected and when it is corrected, man shows his divinity. He is then a Godlike man, a wonder to everybody,

What are this man’s specific qualities? First and foremost, he is honest. No temptation and o threat can make him tell a lie. He is selfless. He lives as if he lives for others. He never hurts anybody; he does not hurt an animal for food or otherwise or even a plant. He is above the barriers of race and country. The whole world is his home. Everybody is his brother and sister. If anybody or any living thing is in pain, he is in pain too. If others are happy, he is also happy. He is one with everybody and everything.

Man is by nature selfish. How can he be so transformed that he will be like the kind of man described above? Has anybody ever seen such a man in flesh? Or cause there have been such men and women again and again in history. Maybe there have been many more than we know of . they have come and gone, few people outside the circle of their closet friends knowing anything about their greatness. This was because their natural modesty made them shun publicity as far as possible. even now may be found such people among the humblest in the world with divinity manifest in them n varying degrees but if they are not know , it is because they prefer to remain unnoticed.

But if there is divinity in everybody, how is it that there is also wickedness in man? How can good and evil coexist? It is because man is ignorant of the truth that he is divine. If he were conscious of his divinity, he would have been consistently good, not sometimes good and sometimes bad, as at present, Each individual has to discover the divinity that ties hidden within himself under the mass of good and evil tendencies on the surface. It is like discovering gold under the earth. One has to dig deeper and deeper till the ‘Gold’ is found. But how does one know that there is any divinity at all within oneself? At first one has a doubt about it, but when one sees people outstanding in their goodness, ne cannot help but ask why one should not try and be like them.

No man is absolutely bad. Even the worst scoundrels are sometimes exceptionally good. It is wrong to permanently condemn anybody as wicked. If there is a blasphemy, it is it. Give him an opportunity to improve. With good education, encouragement and sympathy even a hard-core criminal can improve. Instances of such transformation are many . this is possible because man is basically divine. Courtesy Vedanta in Practice

Brains and Feeling

The brain is literally the head office. Nerves from every part of the body take messages to it, and it a nerve is cut no message can come through. This is the basis of anesthesia. A local anesthetic merely puts the nerves, the body’s telegraph system, out of action, but a general anesthetic closes down the brain, the receiving station.

A brain is made up of the same stuff as nerves, but the grey matters, which is supposed to be responsible for most of the thinking, is spread over the whole in a layered of varying depth according to the brain. It is not possible to make a detailed map of a brain. Reasoning, however, it is agreed, is centered largely n the forehead our cerebrums, sight at the back, and the hind brain or cerebellum controls the body balance.

Secondary brain centered in the hips

No there organ in the world compares in complexity with the human brain  an average man’s brain weighs two and a half pounds, roughly one-sixth of his entire weight. An elephants’ brain may weigh fifteen pounds, but this is only 1/600^th of the animals total heaviness.

Even such a poor brain as this is a great advance on the brains of reptiles. The limited minds of the huge dinosaurs largely hastened their extinction. The Stegosaur, for instance, had a brain infinitely smaller in proportion to that of the elephant it was so small that a sort of secondary brain many times the size of the true brain was centered in the hips to direct the moments of the hind legs and swing the huge tail. .

A similar state o affairs occurs with invertebrates. Crabs and files, for example have minutes true brains, but ‘belly brains” centered at the junction of their legs. In a jellyfish or sea anemone there is nothing that can be called a brain-merely a tangle of nerves, with no central receiving station

It will be realized from this how misleading is the humanized in popular nature stories. An insect is more comparable to a machine than a mammal. Even it dismembered, the parts mechanically attempt to carry on, as under normal conditions. Pain is an insignificant term when applied to the invertebrates, and possibly many of the lowest backboned animals. Courtesy wisdom

Quote from the True Charm and Power of Vedanta

The earth sky, heaven, the primary quarters, and the intermediate quarters; Fire , Air, the Sun, the Moon and the Stars; water, herbs, trees, sky, and Virat-these relate to natural factors. Then follow the personal one; Prana, Vyana ., Apana Udana, and Samana the eye the ear, the mind speech, and the sense of touch ; skin, flesh muscles bones and marrow . having imagined these thus, the seer said, All this is verily constituted by five factors one fills up the outer five fold by the (individual) fivefold ones.

Since a sacrifice is performed with five factors-the sacrificeer and his wife, the son, divine wealth, and human wealth. Thus everything can equated matter only with the Metter Prakriti but also with sacrifice

These different forms of the vital force perform these functions respectively: exhaling, pervading, inhaling, leaving the body and digesting.
