Are some people happy because their lives make them happy? Or are some people happy because they choose to be happy? Two Different People

Manifesting Your Dreams

It seems like such an unreal process to simply think of what you want and manifest it in your life. How could life be that simple, doesn’t it seem fraught with complications on the everyday level? Surely such powers of manifestation reside with the gurus, monks and religious people, the ones with the time to spend days in meditation and contemplation, the wise ones.nnYet in what seemed to be just a moment in my life I began to realize my own power of manifestation. I live a

What are Nirvana, Moksha and Gati in Hinduism?

rnNirvana is the last death in this world. After achieving Nirvana, there is no rebirth. This state is considered as Moksha, wherein the Soul is free from the cycle of birth and death. Until the person does not achieve Nirvana, he continues to wander from one Gati (a life form) to another. Therefore, every living being, at the end of its life, achieves either a Gati or the ultimate Nirvana! As long as one has to continue taking birth, he goes to some or the other Gati after d

“Listen Only to the Still Small Voice”

Listen only to the still small voice that lives in your heart, the voice of love. All the rest of the hustle and bustle of the world in absolutely of no concern. Live in the moment and do what you can do now— not what others think or say you should do. The great voice of love lives within, it’s closer to you than you are to yourself. All you have to do is to connect to that voice by stilling your mind. That’s why meditation, being in nature, and saying the name of God over and over again is so important. These things still the mind and allow all which is good to be brought forth.

Did You Inherit Your Religion?

One Saturday morning I was sipping my coffee and reading the newspaper when the doorbell rang. This was an unusual occurrence as we lived in a somewhat isolated log cabin in the mountains outside Denver. At the door stood two attractive college-age girls who wanted to talk to me about becoming a Jehovah’s Witness. nNormally I would politely say, “No thanks” and return to my paper, but that morning I decided to engage with them. After hearing their initial pi

Practice of Meditation

Spring is fast approaching as we focus on new beginnings. What rings true for me is to focus on the basics in my life such as the practice of meditation. Meditation is a power tool or jewel for self discovery in that it helps us to connect with our higher power, the source within us. The Divine always guides us to that which is best for us. So how can we go wrong? The way to access the source directly is through the practice of meditation.

Sleep, Rest and Consciousness

Western scientists describe the various stages of sleep. Yet they are looking at sleep from outside and do not know how to correlate the stages with the movement of consciousness during sleep. They recite facts based on observation and brain wave activity and pronounce that one is experiencing waking, transition to sleep, REM sleep in the dream state, or deep sleep. We must ask, however, what is the status of consciousness during sleep. Where does the awraeness go? What is it that sleeps and what is the purpose of sleep?

The Development of the Human Being and the Transcendence of the Human Being: Personal Growth and Inner Growth Defined

Personal growth and inner growth, the enhancement of the human being and its capabilities and the transcendence of the human being to develop a being awake and active with a new level of consciousness, are not in conflict with one another. The human being must develop to a certain degree to truly effectuate the necessities for transcendence. At the same time, in the integral yoga, where the purpose is not abandonment of life, but the transformation of life, the two processes actually go hand in hand and complement one another.

The Nature of the Sexual Impulse

The sexual impulse and energy is one of the basic primary drives in Nature and is widespread in the animal kingdom, although there are instances of asexual reproduction. The drive is so powerful that it can drive beings to extreme lengths, even killing off rivals, or fighting to maintain dominance to control the access to breeding and the sexual activity that goes along with it.

The Time Needed for the Transition of the Ego-Consciousness to Become a Conscious Instrument of the Divine

When the seeker becomes aware of the need for consecration and the aspiration awakens within him, he can become very impatient with the obstacles put up by the ego as it works to maintain and enhance its position. After all, the ego has developed over long periods of time as a stage toward individuation, and it does not recognise that it is now the obstruction standing in the way of the next stage of development. The transition toward the surrender of the ego to the Divine, however, is not something under the control or subject to the time-sense of the individual seeker.

The Vital Nature and Its Role in Ordinary Life and Spiritual Life

In the ordinary life in the world, the action of vital desire, and the attempt to fulfill the desires is accepted to such a degree that it is not even consciously noted or treated as anything other than ‘human nature’. Society sets certain customary restraints or limits in order to build a civil framework for interaction of people, and it is only when someone goes outside these limits that the action of desire in an extreme form is noted and condemned.

“Creation Was Divinely Inspired”

When we take a look at our cellphone we know it was made by a company that can either be found in the orient or in silicon valley. We also know people with machines made our phone, and we know it didn’t just appear out of no where. So why do we think the universe appeared out of no where from nothing and no one?

How to Sleep Well

One of the most frequent conce s raised by people generally is their inability to get a good night’s sleep. Insomnia, as well as restless sleep, seems to be a widespread concern. Among practitioners of yoga, the conce goes even farther, in that they desire to convert sleep into a luminous, rather than a dull or dark period of life, particularly given the fact that we tend to spend 30% or more of our lives asleep or attempting to sleep.

Occult Powers and the Secret Knowledge

There are many who seek after various powers, and study occultism and mysticism with the purpose of achieving unique ‘super powers’. Traditional practices of yoga, while acknowledging that certain powers may result from the practices, make it clear that they are not the object and, indeed, should not be developed or used when they arise, as they can lead to distraction and failure to achieve the true object of yoga in the form of liberation and oneness of the Self.

The Nature and Action of Faith in the Spiritual Path

One of the great reported examples of faith in the spiritual path is the inspiring story of Tibet’s great yogi, Milarepa. Briefly, his family was cheated out of their inheritance when his father died, and put into a condition of extreme suffering. He left to learn Black Magic to take his revenge on those who had created the suffering of himself along with his mother and sister. He eventually learned the art and called down a violent hailstorm on the village and many people died and suffered.

The Process of Establishing Equality in the Being

As Sri Aurobindo has indicated, the practice of yoga is a science of applied psychology. The normal and habitual patterns of response that we exhibit need to be both understood and modified, energies redirected, and new forces allowed to intervene and exert their influence in our lives. Establishment of a state of equality in the being is one aspect of the psychological change required.

Understanding the Difference Between Psychic and Spiritual

Every language has its limitations, particularly surrounding areas of development that were not central to the people who developed and utilized that language. This makes it difficult to translate concepts that are self-evident in one language easily or effectively into another language. This has created substantial confusion and misunderstanding in all fields of life-activity and conceptual development. In some cases, an attempt is made to bring across the concept through a detailed explanation that tries to pick up and communicate the nuances.

How can One Shed Karmas that are Bondage to the Soul

Akram Vignan, a spiritual science provides precise understanding of how karmas are bound and how they are shed: The Soul is our real Self. rnAlthough the Self is Soul, you claim that, “I am John. (the reader may insert his own name here).” Claiming yourself to be something that you are not, is called the ego. When this ego leaves, you return to your own place i.e. the Self, where there is no bondage. Owing to ignorance of the Self, one is subject to karma bondage.One is s

The Action of Karma and the Nature of Suffering

“What goes around comes around” and “karma” both basically indicate that there is a factor in existence that rewards good deeds and punishes bad deeds. But do we really see that things work this way? Is there some divine entity sitting up in the clouds, watching our good and bad actions, and giving us presents when we are ‘good’ and punishments when we are ‘bad’? How do we define good and bad, after all? Is it a moral judgment that varies based on the religion we follow or the culture to which we belong?

Three Differences Between Integral Yoga and Traditional Spiritual Paths

People frequently wonder how the integral yoga may differ from the traditional paths of yogic practice. The aim of the integral yoga is to transform consciousness here on earth; it is not fixated solely on individual liberation, although individual realisation is a necessary step on the path, but rather, it looks towards the entire collective consciousness of life on earth as the field of change. This involves fixing the next phase of the evolution of consciousness into the earth-plane, a phase Sri Aurobindo terms “supramental”, as it is beyond the mental level.
