Healing of body and mind

Each of us is a living part of the Whole, a direct descendant of Godhead; and when we become truly aware of this, it cures all our ailments. in my own life. I have known of extreme cases, pronounced hopeless by physicians, which were healed by a mere touch. Yet there was no miracle about it. It was the transmission of a spiritual power which accomplished it. If any man can resign himself absolutely and unreservedly to the Will of God, in a moment he will be made whole, and he will be able to heal others. The healing takes place by the natural process of life. Ordinarily we seek relief through roundabout ways; we seek all our consolation and help form outside; but if we can turn directly within to our own inward resources, we shall get results which will amaze us. The reservoir of lie in exhaustible. so long as we go on crying. My strength has failed, by usefulness is gone, my faculties have lost their power to act! We shut ourselves away from the fountainhead. The fact that we are in that state shows that we have detached ourselves form the Source of life. A branch withers quickly when it is severed from the root, and the root of every human life is God courtesy , Healing of body and mind, spiritual healing

Bring Out The Best

BY SADHGURU JAGGI VASUDEV

Every human experience, pleasant or unpleasant, only happens from within us and must happen the way we want it. What happens around us — family, business, national or international situations — will never happen 100% the way we want it, because too many forces are involved.

We can get it somewhere close to our liking, but not absolutely. Right now, our outside situation is not going the way we want it to go. Is this not the time that your inner situation must be absolutely the way you want it? But most people’s logic is when outside situations go wrong, they will also turn against themselves. They call this anxiety, fear or confusion.

Fear means you are causing suffering to yourself in anticipation of suffering that may never come to you — you do not even know whether it will come or not. Essentially, your imagination is running away, your intelligence has turned against you.

At a time like this, you should not become an impediment to yourself. The situation is demanding the best out of you — you will need every bit of your intelligence, capability and experience.

Those who are in leadership positions: how you think, feel, and act will make or break a million people’s lives. When you have such a privilege in your hands, you should not allow your psychological drama to overtake the realities in which you exist.

Your ability to function well in the world is largely determined by how balanced you are within yourself. To bring this balance, there are many tools, with which you can take charge of your body, your thought, your emotion.

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.

 

 

The Source of Healing Power

Quote from the True Charm and Power of Vedanta

The Source of Healing Power

Whenever we feel turbulence in our mind or disturbance in our body, if we can fix our thought on our spiritual Source and give Nature a chance to restore us by trying to forget the cause of our pain , we shall be haled without any outside help, God is our common property . we do not have to gain access to Him through any book or minister or church or healer. All that we need is purity of thought an open heart and sincere childlike longing. When we have these , all darkness vanishes quickly and healing takes place. When we touch the reservoir of life, the storehouse of Prana or vital energy, all our weakness must disappear . some accomplish this by a definite system  of thought; others do it though simple faith and devotion.

            There are many simple people who by mere faith and ardent devotion have performed what we cal miracles , but they are not miracles in the sense that they could not happen to any one Healing comes wholly though fitness . let us all strive to make ourselves fit for the manifestation of divine power . let us make it our first duty always to turn towards that inner . Source for all our needs . let us tune ourselves in such a way that we shall never be jarring note in the cosmic harmony. If we learn to keep ourselves in tune, there will be no need of healing because when our body mind and soul attuned in the central spiritual power, this physical machine will run smoothly and we shall be scarcely conscious that we have t body. Our whole thought will be turned towards God

The Present is a Gift

The Speaking Tree  India, Lifestyle, Roots & Wings

BY SWAMI VENKATESANANDA

The wise grieve neither for the living nor for the dead, says Krishna in the Bhagwad Gita (2.11). This is one of the key messages of the Gita — grieve not. This verse can be used as a mantra, a talisman. When worry knocks on our door, when grief threatens to overwhelm us, let us visualise Krishna standing in front of us and telling us, “You are grieving or worrying unnecessarily.”

When we are consumed with remorse over the dead past and with sorrow concerning the unborn future, let’s visualise him saying to us, “You are worrying unnecessarily.” When a man dies, his body is cremated (or otherwise disposed of). If not, it will decompose and stink. All created things are subject to change and dissolution.

When an event is past, do not keep it and cherish it in your head. Cremate it and forget it; otherwise, it will decompose in the mind and stink. Do not worry about the future, for tomorrow will bring its own problem and the problem will have its own solution, just as yesterday’s and today’s problems have had.… There is a distinction between thinking and worrying.

Thinking is essential; worrying is unnecessary — it actually prevents thinking. Constructive thought is the first step to contemplation and eventual cessation of divisible thinking. It is made possible only when the inner awareness is freed from the past that exists but as memory and the future, which exists but as worry, a mixture of fear and hope. Only the present is — it is a present (gift) from God.

The Role of Fate

The Role of Fate

quote from the True Charm and Power of Vedanta

The scriptures say that only one who has a strong body, powerful sense organs and meditative mind is fit for Vedic learning. Where is such a person to be found today? We see in India such a lot of inactivity on the pretext of “fate” Do you think that it is the result of faith in God? Not at all. The chief reasons for it are weakness and inertia. It is true that unless fate or divine intervention is favourable no work can be accomplished. but Sri Krishna says that divine intervention happens to be just one of the five causes needed to make any work a success . Along with that there must also be;

The scripture say that without divine intervention nothing can be achieved. Holding on to this idea strongly we sit tight. We refuse to notice and listen even after seeing and hearing that the scriptures also say “Be strong, don’t be lazy, continue to make efforts , go on doing work” And this is because we don’t possess even a little of these qualities immersed as we are in great inertia.

There should be desire to work and along with it there should be divine intervention. Both are essential for success. It is in our hands to be energetic and active. Over the result we have no control, nor is it necessary for us to bother about it. Our concern should be to see that we have been faithful to the ideal. This is what Sri Krishna asks us to do while practicing Karma Yoga.

            Karma Yoga has one more goal and that is to prevent the loss of energy. yoga is the art of doing work. It is a technique for work through which we employ just enough energy, neither less nor more . This becomes possible only if there si no desire for the result. Suppose we desire the result and the work is unsuccessful. Then how much energy we lose in mental depression! Then how much energy we lose in mental depression! Karma Yoga says. Don’t fritter away your energy. Accumulate it and transform the best part of your physical energy into mental and spiritual energies. This is the teaching of Karma Yoga and of self-control. Employ only as much energy as is called for . Always see whether you have worked to the limits of your capacity. But don’t break down in dismay and waste your energy over matters not under your control. Those immersed in enjoyment and seeking fruits of action always lose their energy is this way. Naturally their capacity to work also diminishes day by day. So we must always focus only on the ideal and continue to work.

Shh, Be Still, Be Calm

The Speaking Tree | Lifestyle | ET

By Denise Mihalik

It was the day of my senior undergraduate voice recital. I was both terrified and excited, as I wasn’t used to performing in public as a soloist. When I stepped on to the stage, I looked out and saw an audience full of friends and family.

My heart beat strongly as my accompanist began to play. I don’t remember many details except for the special encore surprise that I had planned. My dad was a closet song writer and one of his songs touched my heart deeply. “Today I will change, but I don’t know where to start.

It is my wish the Lord will calm my heart. Days of silence and obsession, nights of trouble and despair, me on my knees asking simply please, dear God, do you care? And the answer came… Shh, be still, shh, be still and listen to your heart.”

These words, 30 years later, still float through my mind. As I bring meditation to those who are either new or struggling with the practice, I hear about the fear, unease and trouble with being still. How do we find that stillness? Simply by beginning a practice. And doing it the next day and the day after that.

For, with as much activity that we have in our mind and system, how can we expect that just a few minutes of trying to be still, will be enough? But it starts with that one conscious breath. And moves to a second one. And when the mind wanders, we simply bring it back to the next conscious breath. Today, as we are being thrust out of our familiar routine and feelings of safety into the unknown, it’s almost as if we are being deeply encouraged to find a place of stillness and reflection.
