ON ANGER

Guruji wrote the following...a wonderful one!

MAY YOUR PEACE REMAIN WITH U!

"I make up my mind never more to wear anger on my face.
I will not inject the poison of anger in the heart of my peace
and thus kill my spiritual life.

I will be angry only with anger and with nothing else. I cannot be angry
with anyone because the good and the bad both are divine brethren,
born of my one divine Father.

I will calm the wrath of others by the good example of my tranquility, especially when I see my brothers suffering from the delirium of anger.

Teach me not to kindle anger and thus devastate with the conflagration of wrath the green oasis of peace within me and in others.Teach me rather to extinguish anger with the torrents of my unceasing love.

Heavenly Father, command the lake of my kindness ever to remain undisturbed by the storm of misery-making anger."

(from Metaphysical Meditations)

ON GURU FROM GTWA :

Chapter IV VERSE 34

"Understand this! By surrendering thyself (to the guru), by questioning (the guru and thine inner perception), and by service (to the guru), the sages who have realized truth will impart that wisdom to thee"

When the devotee prays to God, he sends him a Guru. It is God who speaks through guru's voice.

In GTWA, Paramhansaji wrote that, "A disciple residing far away from the guru may practice a spiritual method of communion. The guru, one with God, is present everywhere including the wisdom-center of all men. At the end of meditation each day the disciple whould concentrate at the point between the eyebrows and visualize his guru. Thinking of him with love and devotion, the disciple should ask the questions he wants answered. If the concentration is deep, the devotee will receive silent answers to his questions in the form of accruing inner perceptions."

So the above should be followed at the end of mediations.....

GOD IN SILENCE !

BLISS out there !


I wander in the passage of time,
Tossed by the waves of duality,
On raising energy, I concentrate,
Its bliss, bliss & bliss out there!

Cobweb of thoughts, do distract,
But marvelous constellations do attract.
In singular eye, I concentrate,
Its bliss, bliss & bliss out there!

My feet go numb, body aches,
As AUM inundates,
In the star of eternity, I concentrate,
Its bliss, bliss & bliss out there!

As the time ticks, mind often flicks,
For no reason, materialism seeps,
The little self cries for attention,
I leave the bliss, bliss & bliss out there!

Into the wile world I sink,
Leaving behind the stars & AUM,
Trying to concentrate at Kutastha,
Because I know its bliss, bliss & bliss out there!

Seen in the picture are my son and my grand mother. The young and the old! Body ages with time but the soul is eternal.

Chapter II Verse 13 GTWA :
"As in the body the embodied Self passes through childhood, youth and old age, so is its passage into another body; the wise thereat are not disturbed"


Finally Lord tells Arjuna to take these transitions of the body as temporary and to consider the body as "FLESHY GARMENT" which the soul discards and takes a new one...


Chapter II Verse 18 GTWA :
"Regarded as having a termination of existence are these fleshly garments; immutable, imperishable and limitless is the Indwelling Self. With this wisdom, O Descendant of Bharata (Arjuna), battle thou"

SMILE IS EXPRESSION OF THE SOUL

Hare Krishna!

CONTROLLING RESTLESS MIND

Chapter 6 Verse 34

"For the mind is restless, turbulent, obstinate and very strong, O Krsna, and to subdue it is, it seems to me, more difficult than controlling the wind."

Every devotee at this cross road of this doubt and confusion.

Chapter 6 Verse 35

"The Blessed Lord said: O mighty-armed son of Kunti, it is undoubtedly very difficult to curb the restless mind, but it is possible by constant practice and by detachment."

This confirms that the Lord knows devotees weak point - ie the mind, and give remedy to conquer the restless mind by practice of yoga.

The following verse gives solace to all the yogi's -

Chapter 6 Verse 36

"This is My word : Yoga is difficult of attainment by the ungoverned man; but he who is self-controlled will, by striving through proper methods, be able to achieve it."

This is assurance from the Lord that sincere devotees can conquer the mind by practicing yoga.


HARE KRISHNA!
