Bhagavad Gita

Dec 24

Soul - jus now when I heard sis expound on ACIM. Saying that the author has used Jesus name in vain and mislead others.
I felt guilty cos I never offer her my insight. I never shared wit my family cos think it won't be accepted, afraid of rejection, afraid I failed especially since m their younger sis. What wld I know. Also, I guess if I shared my Insight, I wld share my experience.
Father, I hav accepted my Purpose. I will share. Today I told her abt my website plan n my ambition to be an author and speaker of self-help matters. I also told her I hav been blogging for a year now.
　
Bhagavad Gita (Paramahansa)
A grasping for ever more money, a plunging deeper into more prolonged work wit attachment or blindness, will produce misery. Yet, mere outward renunciation of material things, if one still harbours an inner attachment to them, leads only to hypocrisy and delusion.
To avoid the pitfalls of the two extremes, renunciation of the world, or drowning in material life, man should train his mind by constant meditation so that he can perform the necessary dutiful actions of his daily life and still maintain the consciousness of God within.
This is the example set by Krishna's life.
Yoga of dutiful action, of non-attachment, and of meditation for God-realisation.
To work without the inner peace of God is Hades; and to work with His joy ever bubbling through the soul is to carry a portable paradise within, wherever one goes.

Soul - that's how I viewed d meditation tool. I m no longer fearful, I can always let go n free myself n feel joyful whenever I meditate.

Bhagavad Gita
When deluded n tempted by cosmic delusion or dysfunctional psychology, the soul becomes the limited ego, which identifies itself wit the body and the body's relatives n possessions.
The soul, as the ego, ascribes to itself all the limitations and circumstances of the body.
Once so identified, the soul can no longer express its omnipresence, omniscience and ominpotence.
It imagines itself to be limited - just as a rich prince, wandering in a state of amnesia in the slums, might imagine himself to be a pauper. In this state of delusion, King Ego takes command of the bodily kingdom.

Soul - I hav always tot d ego is me. It has give me suffering, but it also has brought me so far into the spiritual path. So, perhaps ego is just a misbegotten soul. So, if that is d case, who or what will liberate the soul? Is there another??

Bhagavad Gita
The spiritual battle, fought in deeper yoga meditation, to overcome the lower state of consciousness and dissolve all egoity and sense of separation from God in samadhi, the victorious union of soul and Spirit in cosmic consciousness.
The advanced yogi may rejoice in this blissful achievement of samadhi many times, yet find that he cannot maintain this union permanently. He is drawn down again into ego and body consciousness by his karma - effects of past actions - and by remnants of desires and attachment.
But through each triumphant contact with Spirit, the soul consciousness becomes strengthened and more firmly in control of the bodily kingdom. At last karma is overrcome, the lower nature of desires and attachment is subdued, and ego is slain - the yogi attains kaivalya, liberation; permanent union wit God.
The liberated yogi may then discard his three bodily encasements and remain a free soul in the ever-existing, ever-conscious, ever-new bliss of Omnipresent Spirit.
Or if he chooses to descend again from his samadhi state into the consciousness and activities of his body, he does so in the sublime state of nirvikalpa samadhi. He remains in his pure soul nature, untouched and unchanged, wit no loss of God-perception, while he outwardly performs whatever exacting duties may be his portion in the fulfillment of the Lord's cosmic plan. This supernal state of being is the uncontested reign of King Soul over d bodily kingdom.

Soul - I hav experienced small glimpses of samadhi sinc d day of kriya initiation in Oct 08, abt one year and 2 mths ago. And d glimpses increases and recently wit me quitting my job and alas accepted my career change, d samadhi is longest than I hav ever experienced.
Now that I know my career is to be a writer n speaker of Self-Help matters. I know it won't be easy n I wil be challenged by my self-defeating ego. So, I wanted to go to Samyama to transcend my ego.

Bhagavad gita
Ego is known as d pseudosoul, for it imitates the authority of King Soul and tries to dominate the entire bodily kingdom.

Soul
Aum (Om) - creation, preservation and dissolution.
My second sound hav been too short. No wonder, cos I hav not been great in preservation. Me hav been on creation and dissolution.
Now learn to extend 2nd sound.

Bhagavad Gita.
Man and woman, instead of seeking emancipation in God through soul unity, sought satisfaction through the flesh.
Spiritual procreation requires the proper "mating" - within oneself - of the sterner masculine qualities with the softer feminine nature, it results in, and manifest in, the birth and expression of true knowledge and total Self-contentment.
In one who has attained Self-realisation, this perfect union has been achieved.
In ordinary man, the imbalance makes him dissatisfied and restless.
The attraction between man and woman, when based on true love and not sensual obsession, is the effort of the soul to regain its normal harmony.

Soul - I used to hav 80 percent yang n ying only allowed to come out during eating. Now I can say its 55 - 45. The osho transformation card says that my experience of self love will be shared.

Bhagavad Gita
A wicked man, an artist, a businessman, a dogmatist, an intellectual, a talkative do-nothing, a man of Self-relisation, are all self-made.
Very few human beings, however use exclusively their God-given power of free choice in making themselves the persons they want to be.
The majority allow their characteristics to change passively and desultorily in various, undirected ways, according to the patterns of passing moods engendered by specific environments or according to the helpful or sinister influences of prenatal and postnatal habits.
It is pain and sorrow that impel man - all too late - to inquire into the cause of his present condition.
Very seldom does man realise that his health, success and wisdom depend in great part on the issue of the battle between his good and bad habits.
No action, inner or outer, is possible without the energising power of will.
Will power is that which changes tots into energy.
Man is endowed wit free will and should not abdicate his freedom of choice and action.

Soul
Mmm, food wise, Paramahansa prescribed diary, something that Sadhguru said no. I m inclined to agree wit Sadhguru. Firstly m lactose intolerant, secondly Paramahansa is not fit like Sadhguru. Infact he look bit cowish :)

Bhagava Gita
Identification of the consciousness with the alternating waves of change is known as restlessness; identiy wit changelessness is calmness.
1) Always restless, never calm (Ego's control)
2) Part of the time restless, part of the time calm
3) Most of the time calm, occasionally restless
4). Always calm, never restless.

Soul - m in d third stage, wit d help of meditation.

Bhagavad Gita
By consistently right thoughts and actions, in harmony wit divine law, the soul of man ascend slowly in the course of natural evolution.
The yogi, however chooses a quicker evolution-hastening method: scientific meditation.
