- Faithfulness to the Light and the Divine Call - by Submitted on Jun 03, 2025 from santosh krinskyPeople have an inner ‘commentary’ and ‘sound track’ going on virtually constantly in their heads. The ‘sound track’ may be a piece of music they heard which keeps repeating in their minds, what is colloquially called an ‘ear worm’. It may also be something of far less enjoyment such as a ...
Views: 2 - Freeing Oneself From Responsibility for Oneself By Reliance on the Divine - by Submitted on Jun 07, 2025 from santosh krinskyThere was a young man who happened to be living at the same place during the 1970’s, who got into his head the idea that the Divine was watching out for him so he could not come to any harm. He walked out into traffic on a busy road and with cars honking and braking, he survived without a ...
Views: 2 - Gaining Perspective On Our Desires and Focus Within the Grand Canvas of Time and Space - by Submitted on Jun 06, 2025 from santosh krinskyWe spend most of our lives fixated on the external life we are living, including our internal reactions to that life, such as our feelings, desires, sense impressions, thoughts, ideas, motivations and physical comforts and discomforts (among other things). We focus on earning our livelihood, ...
Views: 2 - How To Deal With Hostile Forces - by Submitted on May 27, 2025 from santosh krinskyForces at work in the world try to effectuate themselves and perpetuate their action. They seek for receptive vessels to manifest and carry out their line of action. As these waves of energy, these vibrations move out into the world, they naturally come across elements and beings that are not ...
Views: 2 - How to Deal With the Feeling of Unfitness for Spiritual Progress When It Arises in the Sadhana - by Submitted on Jun 02, 2025 from santosh krinskyIt is perhaps a virtually universal experience. An individual takes up a spiritual practice, and for a time, particularly when Sattwa is in the forefront, he has unique insights, experiences and a sense of progress. At some point, however, these experiences tend to recede and the individual is ...
Views: 2 - Keep Hold On Your Aspiration Through All Difficulties and Circumstances - by Submitted on May 30, 2025 from santosh krinskyThe flame of aspiration is the force that keeps the sadhak moving forward in his spiritual practice, regardless of the forces that threaten or oppose that progress, whether from outside or which rise up internally. Everyone goes through changes of mood and energy as the three Gunas fluctuate. ...
Views: 2 - Periods of Apparent Emptiness or Dryness in the Spiritual Practice - by Submitted on Jun 10, 2025 from santosh krinskyIn the external life we are trained to desire visible signs of forward movement, progress, constant development. We believe if we are not moving forward, then we must be retrogressing. We value action over quiet times. When we are relieved from action, such as during a vacation, or at the stage ...
Views: 2 - The Action of the Three Gunas in Relation to the Assimilation of the Spiritual Force - by Submitted on Jun 11, 2025 from santosh krinskyThe 3 Gunas, qualities of Nature, are active in all beings, including those who are undertaking an active process of spiritual development. The physical being is very much subject to the action of Tamas, generally, because of its dense and somewhat inert material characteristics. It thus may ...
Views: 2 - The Individual Sadhak and His Relation to the Movement of Universal Forces - by Submitted on May 28, 2025 from santosh krinskyForces that operate in the world are not necessarily ‘hostile’ even if their effect on any particular individual appears to be extremely negative. These forces operate on a large scale to carry out their own role and fulfillment, without specific regard to who may be impacted. When an earthquake ...
Views: 2 - The Law of Attraction and its Application to Spiritual Sadhana - by Submitted on Jun 08, 2025 from santosh krinskyIt is interesting that people are willing to believe the ‘secret’ of the law of attraction, spend time, energy and money trying to learn it, for the purpose of manifesting wealth, enjoyment and the powers available in the world, but they do not tend to apply the principle behind this ‘law of ...
Views: 2 - The Power of a Quiet Mind - by Submitted on Jun 09, 2025 from santosh krinskyModern civilization puts a premium on the mental process. We educate our children with a focus on the mind. We want them to learn verbal skills, reading skills, logical skills and measure them on their abilities in these areas with various forms of standardized tests by which we then classify ...
Views: 2 - The Spiritual Seeker and the Challenges of Spiritual Growth and Development - by Submitted on May 29, 2025 from santosh krinskyPeople believe generally that taking up the spiritual life involves a form of escapism from the daily obstacles, difficulties and pressures of living an active life in society. Some people in fact take up the spiritual path as an escape, but that is neither the primary motivation nor does it ...
Views: 2 - Causes and Prevention or Elimination of Illness - by Submitted on Jun 13, 2025 from santosh krinskyThe physical body has an ingrained response, for most people, to vibrations that precipitate illnesses. The vector carrying that vibration (whether one calls it ‘germs’, ‘bacteria’, ‘virus’, or ‘suggestion’) strikes the protective vital envelope, or aura, surrounding the body. If it finds an ...
Views: 1 - Developing the Power to Remove Illnesses from the Physical Body - by Submitted on Jun 15, 2025 from santosh krinskyAn illness is a vibrational pattern that impacts the body and its normal operations. If one does not succeed in rejecting it before it breaks through the protective vital sheath and then, if one fails to prevent it from taking hold at all in the physical body, one is left with having to deal ...
Views: 0 - Overcoming the Habit of Illness of the Body - by Submitted on Jun 14, 2025 from santosh krinskyThe first time we experience something it starts to create a “groove” in our neural network, nerves or responsive centers.
