Quote from True charm and power of Vedanta

YOGA APROHISM

Now the question arises: Is going back to God the higher state, or not? The philosophers of the Yoga school emphatically answer that it is . They say that man’s present state is degeneration. There is no one religion on the face of the earth which says that man is and improvement. The idea is that his beginning is perfect and pure, that he degenerates until he cannot degenerate further and that there must come a time when he shoots upward again to complete the circle. The circle must be described. However low may go, he must ultimately take the upward bend and go back to the original source, which is God Man comes from God in the beginning, in the middle he becomes man, and in the end he goes back to God. This is the method of putting it in the dualistic form. The monistic from is that man is God, and goes back to Him again. If our present state is the higher one then why is there so much horror and misery and why is there an end to it? It this is the higher state why does it end? That which corrupts and degenerates cannot be the highest date. why should it be so diabolical so unsatisfying ? it is only excusable inasmuch as through it  we are taking a higher groove we have to pass though it in order to become regenerate again. Put a seed into the ground and it disintegrates dissolves after a time, and out of that dissolution comes the splendid tree. Every soul must disintegrate to become God. So it follows that the sooner we get out of this state we call man, the better for us. Is it by committing suicide that we get out of this state/ not at all. That will be making it worse. Torturing ourselves, or condemning the world, is not the way to get out. We have to pass through the Slough of Despond, and the sooner we are though the better. It must always be remembered that man state is not the highest state.

Cycle of birth and death

The Speaking Tree |India, Spirituality

Life has been described as a long preparation for death. Death, as also birth, is governed by the inexorable cosmic laws of shrushti, sthithi and laya. Even though death is a commonplace event, it is dreaded. To survivors, the thought that they came so close to death is traumatic.

Ever since life originated, the cycle of birth and death has continued ceaselessly. All life forms, whichever kingdom they belong to — vegetable, animal or human — are destined to die. Even inanimate objects undergo mutation over time. Then why are we afraid of death? Is it because death will, all too suddenly, transport us from light to darkness, from a known area to an unknown one? Is our fear of death merely fear of the unknown? The only welcome aspect about death is that it is a great reliever of pain, misery and suffering.

It brings to an end our troubles, trials, tribulations and travails. So, even though death is dreaded, it is welcomed by many harassed people. It is longed for by the terminally ill, the destitute and those who say they have nothing whatsoever to look forward to in life. For them, death is a release from worldly suffering.

Hindus and Buddhists believe in rebirth. They will at once agree that death is not an end in itself, but the beginning of a new life. “Punarapi jananam, Punarapi maranam, Punarapi janani jathare shayanam,” says the Bhaja Govindam. Nature perpetuates the species. Man dies, but the human species might survive for a long time to come. Death and renewal go on side by side ceaselessly and relentlessly.

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.

Hallucinations

Thee are many things that people sometimes claim they “see” that really aren’t there . They may have visions of “ghosts” or strange creatures. Sometimes little children claim they “saw” things that no one else did. Sometimes these are fantasizes or daydreams .sometimes they are illusions.

There is a difference between an illusion and a hallucination. When a person has an illusion, there is something present that stimulates the eyes or senses. It can be verified, because other people see it too. A mirage for example, is a kind of illusion. But the main point is that something is thee that causes the person to think he saw what he saw.

When a person has a hallucination, however, nothing is there! There is no outside situation to the eyes or the senses. The only stimulation comes from the person himself, from his own fantasy.

Hallucinations can be so various types, relating to the various senses. The most common have to do with hearing  . A person imagines he hears voices, mutterings, laughter, cries, bells ringing, music playing or even shots ringing out! The second most common type of hallucination has to do with seeing. People imagine they see certain persons who aren’t there, or they may see animals, object, or whole scenes, before them . Sometimes, they “see” strange, horrible, and unearthly thins that terrify them. And sometimes people even have hallucinations about tastes and smells, or things they feel on their skin.

There are many reasons why people have hallucinations. One of the most common is that a person is way troubled and disturbed by something. If someone has been aroused emotionally to a high pitch, perhaps very angry or frightened, he may have hallucinations.

In other words, persons who are hallucinating are usually in a state of great excitement, fear, ecstasy or anticipation of something. Certain drugs also cause hallucinations. Cocaine, for example gives the hallucination of insects crawling on the skin.

Quote from the True Charm and Power of Vedanta

Last words

It is, on the whole, an easy matter to describe Yoga in terms of the intellect, or ot discuss it in philosophical language. Being however the essence of all religions. Yoga, for its true understanding, depends not on words but on experience. Although a person can finish reading a map of the world in ten minutes, it will probably take him ten lives actually to visit all the places he has seen on that map, so, it is said that perhaps only one in a million has the good fortunes to attain complete success in Yoga: the others will have to rest content only with the joy of struggling for the ideal, or at best with just a partial, flitting glimpse of Reality. This naturally disheartens many an scares away others . Some are even led to thin of Yoga as a wild-goose chase; because , while we see and know of many successful men in all walks of life, in the field of Yoga we rarely come across one who can say-unless he is a cheat or a victim of self –deception-that he has actually reached the destination. It is perhaps once in a thousand years a saint or seer is born who can talk with authority on the essence of religion, and even the voice of such a one is son drowned in the confusion that always rage in the world.

One thing however is certain; If the path is recognized to be right and the goal to be worthy or attainment, thee is no alternative left for the determined and sincere pilgrim but to struggle on and on, even though “the road winds uphill an d the way, yea, to the very end” Hundreds may fail to reach the ultimate goal and thousands may succumb halfway on the journey; but the struggle, once begun, cannot be given up unless the traveler is prepared to be called a coward. In every undertaking there is the fear of risk of failure; but that never deters any brave hearts from doing his chosen task, however difficult. After all, are not “the glorious failures” of history far more lovable and worthy of emulation than those who have achieved success in ignoble pursuits? The words “Nothing fails like success”-paradoxical though they seem –apply so often to some worldly achievement gained at the expense of the degradation of the soul!
