What is the difference between religion and spirituality--religion is a pathway towards God and Spirituality is also a pathway towards Him. However, their distinctions lie in their approach. The central idea of religion: Obey God and fear Him. The essence of Spirituality: Love God and also become another God. 1.) Love vs. Fear. Oftentimes, the fear of God is the approach of religion. It reminds us in doing the right and proper thing to prevent suffering in what the future may

There is nothing more important than breaking free from control. Be it the control of others, or our own unconscious control that might be leading us astray. And at the same time we find our true purpose, great passion, and joy.

I find it interesting, that during the 80’s we had people like Milken, Boesky, Seigel, Levine, and others who did scandalous things ripping off the public. And when the 80’s came to a close, people were asked what they thought of the 80’s and they said, “The Decade of Greed”— But has anything changed?

Here are three spiritual thoughts that heal all dis-ease. These spiritual intentions are are vitally important for uplifting the core of who we are, which creates a powerful immune system. Thus our persona is reborn with a new perspective which liberates and fosters harmony in every aspect of our being… thus dis-ease disappears.

We are nothing but love when we come from womb. At that point we want nothing more than to be loved and to give love thus we are perfection. When we are born we tend to embrace everyone and just want to give love and be loved. This is our true nature, we are nothing less than love. But as time goes on we are told we are less than perfect and we take on that persona, thus we feel that something is missing. But that’s not the truth, it’s a lie that’s been past down through thousands of years of experiential growth.

The primary reason why some people follow the path of monkhood and spirituality is because of their auspicious inner intents sown in their past life. These individuals have experienced everything on the evolution journey through their numerous life forms from good to bad, happiness to misery. Finally, they reach a stage in their life when they decide that there has to be more to life, a greater purpose. They sought for liberation, freedom from material life. So, they sow (lot

We spend as much as one third of our lifetime asleep. Many questions arise when one reflects on this fact. What happens during sleep? Where does the consciousness go? What does it do? Can we become conscious, or at least more conscious, of that part of our lives? Are there ways to prepare for sleep that help us to optimize the sleep state for the yogic practice?

These are exciting times. An evolutionary mutation of consciousness is just round the corner. In the history of evolution, whenever a critical mass of members of a species adapts to a new way of being, mutation happens and the species evolves. A new level of human consciousness is on the verge of emerging. It is just waiting for the critical-mass tipping point. nThere must have been a period, just before we became full-fledged homo-erectus, when some of us were still using ou

There are occasions where the practice of silence and a temporary withdrawal from the hustle and bustle of the outer life, to the degree feasible, becomes a necessary part of the sadhana for the practitioner of yoga. Yoga is, by definition, a change of consciousness, and it involves an inward and upward movement of awareness off of the surface interactions of the physical, vital and mental planes, to the psychic and spiritual levels of existence.

The momentum towards a new planetary consciousness has clearly begun in 2007. The many events that have transpired both for individuals, and for humanity as a whole this year, have left a mark of truth imprinted upon the collective consciousness. It is now clear to all who have eyes to see, that our individual actions as well as our collective actions are needed in order to avert the current planetary crises.nnHumanity's consciousness is beginning to transform, and you may be

Whether it is simple fight with someone or a misunderstanding with your loved one or some long standing grudge with your friends or business associates, it affects you more deeply than you can imagine. rnThe suffering is in the form of enormous physical and mental burden which people often find hard to let-go. How can one mend this situation whether it has been caused to us or by us to others? Param Pujya Dadashri says, “Life is not meant for hurting anyone. If you hurt the

At a leading university, a very interesting study was done with kids who were 5 and 6 years old. In this University Study, they took a group of kids into a room and showed them a game where they threw balls that stick to a game board. And the child’s ball that came closest to the center of the board would win a nice big prize. With No One Watching But there was just one hitch. They had to throw the balls from 10 feet away and backward. That means they were not facing the board and were a long ways from the board.

We tend to think that God is out there some where, out in the vastness, out in space. Yet what about that still small voice, or a time when someone’s father who passes away comes to them in the middle of the night? Is the all knowing consciousness out there? Or inside? Or both?

A Powerful Healing Agent - Self-Compassion… is Very Important. Unfortunately, many people don’t think of themselves as important. Because of that… they work at jobs they hate, they work with people who don’t care about them, and work with people who take advantage of them. This causes stress hormones like cortisol and epinephrine to skyrocket… and these hormones over long periods of time create havoc in the body which leads to diseases like cancer and heart disease. Not Good. Remember… you are worthy of your own Self-Compassion… and most of all your own Self-Love.

Once we recognise that we cannot trust the mental faculty to keep the vital desire-soul in check, the question arises as to how it is then possible to truly examine the underlying motives and wellsprings of our thoughts, feelings and actions without falling victim to the kind of bias that the vital influence on the mind creates. Without such a mechanism, we have little hope of effectuating any real and lasting change in human nature.

Worshipping and believing in God is essential for the progression towards attaining moksha; otherwise one will be lost in the worldly life and thus one will be unable to find a path which can lead him towards moksha. When we worship God with genuine love and devotion in our heart, the seeds of merit karma are sown. These seeds result in bringing worldly happiness in our next life such that we get good parents, a good home, a good life, good money, good luck, a good religion a

When Sri Aurobindo states “all life is yoga”, he is speaking generally about the long, slow ‘yoga of nature’ which is taking place in the universe, leading to ever-greater stages of consciousness manifesting and transforming, successively, the previously manifested planes of awareness. This enormous process implies that all life is, indeed, part of that process and thus ‘all life is yoga’.

We live in different lands depending upon our spiritual growth with many different steps to the process. At one point we live in a lush and beautiful valley that stretches out forever, with a grand Lord who watches over everything. We live far away from the Lord, the one who owns all the lands, the lakes, and the forests… yet we know for sure we are cared for.

There is a special way to finding that feeling of grace, it’s not about taking herbs, supplements, or even medications, there is a much simpler way— here is the process. Let Go of The Outcome — Leave the outcome of all effort to God, the Universe, and Great Spirit. Why worry? Worry has never brought about a good end to anything. Just trust that God has your best interest at heart at all times. That which is all knowing already sees the outcome and knows where you are headed.

When we are first confronted with the concept of detachment from our exte al nature, we tend to approach it from a mental standpoint and thus, try to shut down our emotions and mental reactions with various types of response such as forms of stoicism, renunciation, or a show of non-caring, or some kind of overpowering of reactions including the use of self-torture to train the body-life-mind complex not to react. This is however, not a methodology that can succeed over the long term, and leads to abandonment or submission of the exte al being, rather than true mastery.

The ability to perceive, understand and modify the actions of the body, life and mind requires the development of a new standpoint outside of the body-life-mind complex. For this reason, the attempt to undertake this process with the analytical power of the mind is bound to fail.

Trying to change human nature, the basic physical-vital-mental makeup that we accept as the predominant mode of being in the world today, is hard. The actions and reactions of the body, the senses, the vital energy, the organ systems, the emotional system, the hormonal responses, and the mental habits are deeply embedded. When someone tries to change any of these elements, he runs up against walls, obstacles and resistance.

How many times in the course of an individual’s practice of yoga do thoughts of failure and lack of capacity or ability to succeed intervene and work to create doubt and despair? If allowed to dominate the being, the quest fails, at least for the time being, or for the rest of the current lifetime, as it requires the willing and persevering dedication of the individual to stay the course. What brings these thoughts and feelings into prominence?

Our vital nature crazes ‘excitement’ and to gather ‘experiences’. It is no different for the spiritual aspirant than for the rest of humanity in this regard. Spiritual experiences tend to be extraordinary in the sense that they go beyond the everyday perceptions or sensations and tend to have a power and immediacy that demands the attention of the seeker. In many cases, the seeker describes the experience as more real than their normal state of awareness, and in some cases even as ‘life-changing’.

Everything comes to the seeker based on his ability to tune his focus and maintain that focus in an unwavering manner over time. Sri Aurobindo, in his book The Mother, sets forth the methodology as “aspiration, rejection, surrender”. Aspiration is the will from the depth of the being to achieve the divine connection. This represents the tuning of the consciousness. Rejection is the process whereby the focus remains fixed on the intended result, eliminating all distractions and static.

The development of the ego-consciousness is part of the evolutionary cycle of increasing manifestation of conscious awareness in Nature. As consciousness develops it moves from a generalized sense of existence to a more specific recognition of one’s own life and awareness. In animals we see this progression as an individual instinct for survival, as well as the development of hierarchies of power and control, and the perks that come with attaining a higher place in the societal structure.

Most people are confused about what meditation is. One of the causes of this confusion is the variety of forms of meditation that are recommended and practiced by various traditions. Some forms of meditation require strenuous efforts and considerable time to bear fruit. The Mother provides insight into meditation and proposes a method she finds most suitable.

Living spiritually means to try and live more and more in the awareness of the Soul, as opposed to material or physical things. What aspects of life block us from living spiritually? 1.Our wrong belief that ‘I am John (the reader may insert his own name here)”rnIn reality, our Self is the Soul; so pure that despite going through the entire worldly life, it never gets affected by any impurities; it always remains pure!! Whatever deeds, good or bad, are done by the body, th

Everyone is always saying that there is nothing they can do to change the world. But that’s not true at all! We have a lot of power and we can change the world! How Can We Do This? 3 Simple Things that Most People Take for Granted 1 - Visualize and meditate on what you want to change and see the outcome in your mind’s eye. Meditation is powerful we now know that when people meditate on peace in a particular city… crime rates drop there… this has been studied hundreds of times. So meditate on what you want to see happen in the world.

We play a great role on the stage of life and we are not the creators of the role— we are the actors. God, the Universe, and Great Spirit has written a long play. He is the writer of the book and has given us a beautiful gift by allowing us to play a small part in His wonderful play called life. Every single line of action, words, and interplay of all the parts in the play are written by God. He is also the producer who makes it possible for the play to go on.

We load our car with our bags and take off driving and never have a care in the world about what might happen. In fact we’re happy that we are on our way and ready for our vacation or ready to see old friends. But what about that last journey… why do we fear that last trip? We say we have great faith in the process, in the white light, in God, and the afterlife. But at the same time we tend to fear that last trip home. Could it be that deep down inside, we really don’t have faith? Or is it the unknown that makes us unwilling to surrender and open our hearts to the next journey?

You Can Be Inspired About Life… and Enjoy It! I have to say, that most people drag themselves through life. They are totally uninspired and don’t have a reason for living. But it doesn’t have to be that way at all. Here is What I Recommend

If we shift to the standpoint of the observer of the mind, we will notice that as conditions vary, the ‘mind-stuff’ (citta) takes on different characteristics based on our state of reactivity and interaction with perceptions, feelings, events or exte al circumstances. We may consider an image of a lake that can either appear perfectly still and have a glass-like and reflective consistency, or when whipped up by wind or other exte al factors sends up waves, whether steady and of measured amplitude, or extremely agitated.

The experience and descent of a higher consciousness is not a matter of philosophical argument but one of psycho-physical effects seen and noted by the individual, as well as palpable impacts in the basis of knowledge, action and implementation in the outer world. The seeker actually can feel the force entering and permeating his being. He can experience the widening of his awareness from a place above the mind. He begins to see and understand things from a new viewpoint which provides in some cases radically new insights and ways of doing things.

The objective of the integral yoga is to support the evolutionary process of the development and integration of the next stage of consciousness, beyond the mental consciousness. This step is necessary to overcome the limitations of the current mental framework which have helped create the existential crisis we are facing in the world today. This is not a yoga intended solely for individual salvation. As it is working to support an evolutionary process, it necessarily involves all of humanity in some way or another.
