TAPAS


If worldly thoughts enter your mind , God cannot enter. Only when the mind detaches itself from those thoughts can God enter. The moment God enters, the mind gets illuminated and in that light, the mind cannot think of anything else except Godliness. Then your tongue will naturally speak of Godliness. This is the true state of yoga.

You will live a life of renunciation, having discarded the ego, love and exercise of power and authority, lust and hate and all objects of pleasure. You will then be at peace with yourself and the world. You will become worthy of God Realization.

Changes in life are to be accepted as calmly as changes in the seasons.

Real happiness does not lie in the satisfaction of desire. Earthly love and attachment bind us and are thus the cause of despair. We should refuse to be taken in by their glamour and direct them towards God instead. Happiness lies in transcending the glamour of the world.

One cannot achive the aims and objectives by renouncing the world and taking refuge in a forest. Persistent effort brings success in life.

Man has to face the problems of life boldly and courageously. He should not run away from them or shift the blame on others. Problems have their origin in past deeds, done either in this or in a previous birth. At such time, one need the support of God or at least confidence in oneself to live upto any situation.

Guru, God and Dharma will never come to you unless you strive to have them and approach them with humility and submissiveness.

MEDITATION


The joy and happiness of the Supreme Bliss, Sath - Chith - Ananda can be attained through concentration and meditation.

Grief grows from desire and attachment. Happiness cannot be attained by satisfying desires as new desires crop up. Hence, happiness lies in contentment. This leads to peace of mind. Peace of mind results in concentration, which is the basis of meditation. Through meditation the mind gets united with sath - chit - ananda. There is no happiness higher than this.

The presence of divinity in  the heart is the best object for meditation.

The Lord says in the Gita: "Among things profound I am "silence". Observing silence leads to meditation in depth which will verily give a vision of the Lord to the devotee.

Concentrate with silence on the magnificence of the creator. Fill the hearts with frindliness rather than with enmity. Develop love of international brotherhood and establish world peace.

Man's life is the projection of his mind. All problems are created by the mind. The removal of the problems is again in the hands of our mind. To a sensible mind the un-locking of hard chest is not difficult. But to a foolish mind there is no end to the problem. A perfect mind is the key that unlocks the mysteries of life. The purer the mind the easier the solution.

Deep meditation leads to intuition and helps to attain and oceanic calmness of mind. Meditation is the basis of all attainments.
