A young woman who was in her twenties had multiple operations on her left leg because of a fracture. But even after 10 operations her leg would not heal and thus doctors didn’t know what to do. So they put a cast on her leg and changed the cast every few weeks so she could walk with crutches, but she still had tremendous pain. This young woman also had a large tumor on her right side that was removed, and for some reason her wound would not heal. And the wound kept breaking open and need new stitches on a regular basis.

All Souls Are The Same!rnBy nature, all Souls are the same; just that the existence of each Soul is separate. Phases Change But The Soul Is The SamernSoul resides in every living being!rnA human or an animal, a tree or an insect, a deity or a demon â are mere phases of the Soul and which are temporary in nature; whereas the Soul residing within each of these is permanent. Regardless of the external changes that happen in the phases, there is no change that ever happens in t
A central key to attaining peace lies in achieving the poise of non-attachment. Non-attachment is sometimes confused with avoidance of action, or some kind of renunciation. But non-attachment can develop even among those who are active in the world. King Janaka was known as being non-attached while still ruling a kingdom and living amidst the luxuries that were part of his position. Buddha achieved non-attachment through overcoming the force of desire. Non-attachment is an underlying basis for refocusing the concentration of the being on the Ete al. Energy flows where it is directed.

Parting is always painful!rnBut love demands that we hold the person we love very gently such that we allow things to flow. Our Love for the Person Who We Love Far Exceeds Our Need for That PersonrnAgree?! When we love someone very dearly, we are always bothered about that person and not about ourselves. We are not worried about our peace; our only wish is to see the person we love to be in peace; we want exactly that what gives the other person peace. So, although it may see
Changing human nature is a process of time and effort and is therefore subject to periods of waxing and waning of effort. Human beings tend to relax and enjoy their lives when all things are going well. Thus, it is primarily in times of difficulty and stress when we remember to focus on the need to aspire and concentrate. There are also periods of dullness, with nothing actively engaging the attention, periods of boredom, periods of ennui, periods of lassitude. Perhaps even to a greater extent than during periods of enjoyment, the focus is absent during these dull times.
ILLUSION â Illusion or Maya signifies something perceived to be real and permanent when in reality, itâs unreal and temporary! Itâs a misinterpreted perception of claiming oneâs existence in something, when actually it was never his place! Generally, our life is guided by an array of activities, like performing oneâs duties, enjoying the materialism, nurturing children and even waiting for death to engulf us! If our life would have been contented, then what was the
It’s said that nothing that’s not a reality can cause a lack of peace, and that everything is real in it’s own way. What does that mean?
Once there was a middle aged man who lost the love of his life because of alcohol. Not that he was a alcoholic or anything but things got out of control and thus he lost the one person that meant so much to him. He was down in the dumps, feeling bad, he did not eat for days, he couldn’t sleep, and he was feeling terrible because blamed himself for everything. But as it turns out, he was starting a positive program of renewal that would change his life forever.

We very easily fall into the mistaken idea that the path we follow is the best way to approach the Divine or achieve spiritual realisation and that other paths are either less effective or do not provide the complete liberation from the ego-personality. We also tend to accept the idea that whichever form our lead capabilities take represents the best way to approach the Divine.
In any technical field, there are both a general statement of goals and principles, as well as specific steps that should be applied to achieve those results. In many endeavours, particularly those involved in dealing with the physical world and the science that operates in that world, the process is relatively straightforward and consistent and anyone applying those steps would expect to achieve the stated end result. Thus, we rely on airplanes, using principles enunciated by mechanical physicals and aerodynamics, to be able to take off and fly around the world.
Astrology vs the law of karmarnAn astrologer may predict oneâs nature and may also suggest some useful practices to help the person live life with some ease, amidst such nature. But while these things being suggested astrologically can help ward off the negative energy so that oneâs disturbed body and mind experiences some calm and peace; it cannot however change oneâs nature altogether. Our nature is an effect of our past karma. rnThe principle of karma is: The seed of
Yin and Yang, dualities that are inextricably intertwined with one another, that continue to play into one another and which contain an element of the opposite quality within themselves. We live in a world characterized by duality and when we examine closely we find that we cannot have light without darkness, happiness without sadness, etc. Even those who work the hardest to achieve a status of light retain some element of shadow.
Observation and reflection eventually can lead to focus of the life and attention to achieve a specific aspiration. The process of reviewing with care in the light of the higher aspiration allows the individual to then choose which things to do, and which things to avoid, sculpting, if you will, the future life and activity. As one undertakes this process, the individual finds that life-circumstances begin to align and take on a coherence and inner organisation around that fixed goal. It is similar to the alignment one finds in gemstone crystals as opposed to ordinary rocks!
Just as there is a debate between science and religion, there is a corollary argument that encompasses aspiration versus prayer. Aspiration for growth, development, knowledge, progress, expansion is acceptable to those in the “science” camp. Prayer is relegated by these individuals to the “religion” camp. Similarly, those who believe ardently in the power of prayer do not fully believe in the efficacy of an inner aspiration alone. The relation of these two powers, however, is not so simply delineated, nor can either one be dismissed out of hand. They can, indeed, complement one another.
Most people identify closely with their active exte al personality, and as a result, they consider that to be the extent of their existence. They leave on the surface, interact with others, family, friends, acquaintances, associates and other members of society, and respond to the outer environment, the weather, the economic and political conditions, etc. This constitutes the framework of their lives.
Each individual has a unique way of relating to and developing his spiritual aspiration. Those who are more intellectually inclined may find that they naturally incline towards what is known as the yoga of knowledge. Those who have a nature more inclined to devotion and emotional expression may take up the yoga of love and devotion. Those who have an active vital nature will probably find that the yoga of works is the best path.
Sri Aurobindo provided advice to an individual who was trying to sort out the direction for his life and how to face the difficulties that confronted him, particularly with respect to certain vital weaknesses to which he was prone. Sri Aurobindo analyzed the condition of this individual in great detail and provided both general and specific advice for addressing the situation. The general advice is here:
Suppose you have a candle that you want to light.rnSo, you would obviously do a step-by-step exercise i.e. You would go to the market, buy a matchsticks box, come home, find a platform on which you can station the candle, switch off the fan, pull down the curtains so that the wind does not gush in through the windows, take the matchbox, remove the stick, learn to ignite the matchstick; you may fail a couple of times, and finally when you manage to rub the stick correctly on t
Right now we have electronic virtual reality taking over and every company is working on this process in order to make millions. But the truth is we may live in a virtual world right now. Virtual realities such as second life and other virtual worlds are extremely popular now. There are lots of people that spend most of their day in these virtual worlds and thus become totally disconnected from the world we live in.
Hey, do you know there is nothing like a good and bad Soul?! rnYes, you may find living beings whom the world terms as good or bad, based on the deeds they do. Letâs dwell on the subject a little further...rnThe Soul is Above All Kinds of DualitiesrnGood-bad, nice-not nice, pleasant-unpleasant, beautiful-ugly, etc. are attributes that cannot be associated with Soul, for the Soul is above all dualities. The Soul was, is and will always be pure; not an iota of impurity can to
No, the Soul is completely detached from the emotion of ambition.rnThe Soul, by its inherent nature, is completely detached from all emotions. Rather, it is merely the knower and observer of everything, without any passion, with perfect equanimity. The Soul and the body have always been separate, and so are their properties. Ambition belongs to the body and the mind rnThe feeling of being ambitious is a result of our previous life causes. In our past life, through our inner i
Just about every individual, including those practicing a spiritual discipline of some sort, creates an image of himself that he then projects out into the world. This image is something of a stylized and idealized version of himself that attempts to present the highest and best of his aspiration, whether it be mental development, expressions of faith, compassion, goodwill, purity, and an abstemious nature not given to over-indulgence.
The Eternal Light Of Absolute Knowledge Manifests Within, Only When...rn...oneâs all needs and desires are completely dissolved! God (Absolute Knowledge) only manifests in those whoâve become absolutely desire-less. On the path of spirituality, we may come across people who have no desire for wealth, also many may have no desire for sensual pleasures too, but quite a few will have desire for respect or fame or some deep-rooted desire of one kind or another within them. Lo

Principally, only when Self-Realization has been attained, one can move towards Moksh!rnDuring the process of Self-Realization: rnThe deluding demerit karmas covering our Soul get destroyed.rnThe separation between the body and the Soul takes place.rnThe understanding of âI am the pure Soulâ gets firmly established. On attaining the knowledge of the Self, one thus begins the journey on the path of spiritual progress. rnThere are two main types of spiritual paths in this w
To identify the qualities that you need to change, every night, before going to sleep, introspect for at least 10 minutes and see the instances that happened during the day, where:rn1. You caused hurt to someone through your thoughts, speech or actions. Even if you have only negative thought towards any person, it is considered to be a hurt, for that person will experience the vibrations of pain and suffering coming from you; orrn2. You felt hurt by someone and experienced su
Transformation of the vital nature in man is a key and essential part of the transformation that must come with the evolution of the next stage of consciousness. Past yogic paths did not focus to any great degree, if at all, on transformation of the exte al being and life in the world; rather, it was highly intent on achieving spiritual realisation or liberation, with little emphasis given to the body-life-mind individuality or the mode of living in the world.
rnCouples who think their marriage is failing are likely eager to learn some effective tips to save the marriage. However, how much do you know about your relationship with your spouse? Knowing that your marriage is on the rock is bad, but for those who still don't realize that their marriage failed, it's really worse. People in this modern world may have been too concerned with many other activities apart from the relationship. In fact, there were cases when things happened
For those who are anchored in their outer exte al awareness of the world and of themselves, there is no understanding or acceptance of the reality of inner occult states of awareness. Thus, they deny the reality of the inner experiences, until perhaps they happen to have a near death experience, or an out of body experience of their own, and recognise that there are depths and realms within that they were simply not attending to. They treat dreams as something random and generally meaningless as well.
What are the aspects that makeup love? 1 - Love is kind… always ready to help when someone needs help. 2 - Love is giving… always ready to give whatever a person needs so they can enjoy life a little more. 3 - Love is caring… love always has others in mind even when they are busy and doing other things. 4 - Love remembers… love remembers when he or she needed a helping hand and gives that help when others need it. 5 - Love always smiles… and that simple act of smiling brings comfort to everyone.
God did not create us! This distressing stuff of anger-lust-greed-jealousy is our own doing. rnThe reaction of whatever you do will continue punishing you. I do not have to come to punish you, says God!rnWhen we become angry or experience greediness or feel lustful or jealous, these are emotions which in reality result from our past life. They are the effects of our past karma. The seeds of karma are sown in the past life and it gives us fruits in this life. Who gives the fru
Impatience is endemic to modern day society. We expect everything immediately. If it does not come, we exhibit frustration, annoyance, anger and a disturbed energy which impacts the the body, the life-energy, the nervous envelope and the mental state. Impatience, therefore, creates an energetic state that is diametrically opposed to that required for yogic development.
Not at all; in fact, it is the other way round in worldly life!rnVarious philosophies, religious scriptures, school teachers and our very own spiritual Guru too, have always emphasized on cultivating selflessness in every sphere of life. They preach, teach and nurture in us the moral value of being non-selfish, lovingly persuading us to overcome our selfish tendencies, and selflessly encouraging and pushing us to render voluntary, selfless service to the needy in society. One
Do you have a child who has an imaginary friend? Did you ever wonder if the friend was really made up, or if maybe your child is seeing something that you can't? I never really thought much about it until my mother died, and my sister had my nephew a year and a half later. My sister and I went to a medium, Concetta Bertoldi in Booton, N.J., (she has a great book called, "Do Dead People Watch You Shower?) who said my mother wanted us to know she visited my nephew at night, and
What exactly is the meaning of ‘sincerity’ in the context of the integral yoga, and what makes it so essential to the successful practice of this yoga? For most people, sincerity is a quality defined by adherence to a specific idea or belief and a direct translation of that belief into the exte al being in its relationships to the world. In other words, it is seen as a ‘transactional’ quality for interacting with others without duplicity or any form of intended deceit.
Every major accomplishment in human life involves some form of concentration. We live in a modern world that systematically distracts and disperses the mind, thus making it more difficult to achieve a state of concentration. Cell phones, internet surfing, music, flashing lights, entertainment, fast moving vehicles, powerful storms, news media gathering sensational reports to place before us 24 hours a day. It is a wonder that we can concentrate at all in the modern world!
There are many different types of stress, but here are two great ways to get rid of stress that don’t cost a thing— they are totally free. First, there is mental stress, stress that comes about by living in a crazy mixed up world. If a person is alive in this day and age they have stress. And with everything moving incredibly fast it’s no wonder we feel overwhelmed and stressed out. We also have physical stress caused by chemicals in our food and poor diet. And eventually, this physical stress translates into mental stress and thus we feel overwhelmed.
âEvery moment, somewhere, someone weaker is brutally jabbed by the stronger, not only physically, but emotionally and mentally tooâ! Is this statement a clear, prime hyperbole or a white crime of the real world? If we ponder over this question, surely a very despondent and affirmative answer crops in our mind and heart. It is unfortunate but the fact is that may it be a professional or personal front, most of us have passed through this daunted route, and few are still on
Gnani, the enlightened One, explains this through a very simple example.rnLetâs understand... Suppose we take a block of wood on which a lot of mud is stuck. We put this wood in a pond of water. It will sink right down, isnât it? Now, as the mud keeps dissolving, the block of wood will gradually come up. When all of the mud is removed, the block will float on water. This is how the coverings on the Soul also dissolve. One after another, the covering opens up, and one is b
First of all one question is there: What is wine? The truth is Wine is an alcoholic beverage made with fermented juice or grapes. Different varieties of grapes and strains of yeasts produce different styles of wine. Simply that the wine is made from fruit and beer is made from grains. There are many drinkers liquor store intended to defines the styles and qualities of wine. The wines that are not made from grapes involve fermentation of additional crops, including fruit wines
Once there was a man who worked at a job doing his work all day long and he hated what he was doing. Most of the time he was bored to death, and the work he did was against what he believed in. And there was another man who worked for the same company and he decided to leave and start a new life.
