The Yoga says that as there are now generally known five senses and five organs of action, so there are other subtler senses and organs; and explains more fully how they may be developed by men who are seeking to know God, who is their own true inmost Spirit. The Mimansft explains what karma is, L e., action, both religious and worldly, and what are its consequences, causes and effects, and how it binds man to this world or to another.

The Vedanta finally tells fully what is the exact and true nature of God, or Atma, and shows that Jiva of man is in essence the same as this inmost God, and explains how man may live so that karma shall not bind him; and finally, by understanding what the Maya Shakti of God is, by which all this world comes forth and appears and disappears, how he may (after practice of Yoga) merge himself into and become one with God and so gain Moksha.

Bhagavad-Glta, v. 24-26.

"He who is happy within, who rejoiceth within and who is illuminated within, that yogi, becoming Brahman, goeth to the Nirvana of Brahman. "Rishis their sins destroyed, their duality removed, their selves controlled, intent upon the welfare of all beings, obtain the Nirvana of Brah- man."The Nirvana of Brahman lies near to those who know themselves, who are disjoined from desire and passion, subdued ascetics, of controlled mind."

Robert Adams

"Why not surrender right now to the power which knows the way. Make up your mind this night that you're going to give up everything, mentally. You're going to let go of the past, the future, the present, you're doing this right now, this minute. You're letting go of all your fears, all of your frustrations, all of your thinking.

You are no longer concerned what's going to happen to you tomorrow, where you will be, where you won't be. You're not worried about a job, income, people places and things, you have found freedom, absolute freedom. This freedom will take care of you, will guide you, listen to it closely it'll tell you what to

do at every turn. This freedom is really you."

By Prem Aakash

Quantum entanglement is the universal force connecting you to anyone and anything you have ever been in contact with, regardless of space or time. It is a process working in conjunction with nonlocality.

Beyond the purely material connections we’ve made over the course of our existence, we have made divine energetic connections as well. When our energy has connected with someone else’s, a quantumly entangled relationship occurs. This is one reason why you may find connections to the same souls over lifetimes and dimensions. But there’s something even more important to consider.

All of life comes from the infinite spark of Source, Creator, God, Goddess, or the Original Energy, whichever term you are most comfortable with. Everything in existence is an expansion and fractal existence of the original, infinite Source. Not only are you quantumly entangled with Source, you are a piece of Source with a direct connection to the expansive consciousness Source possesses.

This connection is what allows you to develop your consciousness, to connect with your guides and other multidimensional beings, and to evolve your perspective into the vastness of Source’s omnipresent, omnipotent wisdom if you so choose. The universe was created in a way that does not just allow, but commands an inseparable bond with one another, your planet, your universe, all of existence, and Source. You are never alone. You are never forsaken. You are never left without the ability to connect with the answers for any dilemma you face or the lessons you need to learn. You are simply, divinely loved because you are the spark of Source incarnate.

Turiyatita in Contemporary Vedanta by Sivananda

As India segued into modern times Tantra and Vedanta began to cross-fertilize in a much more definite way. And the culmination of that process was Ramakrishna, the nineteenth century Bengali sage who was trained by both a Tantric adept and a mainstream, orthodox Vedantin swami of the Shankara Puri order, resulting in a rather yin-yang, i.e. highly flexible integration of both. He stated: The Reality from which we derive the notion of Brahman is the very Reality that evolves the idea of living beings and the universe. Kali (the Tantric reality which energizes the universe) is none other than Brahman. That which is called Brahman is really Kali. She is the primal Energy. When that Energy remains inactive, I call it Brahman; when it creates, preserves, or destroys, I call it Shakti or Kali. What you call Brahman I call Kali.

Seyyed Hossein Nasr

 ““The rediscovery of the wisdom of the body and its assertion as authentic knowledge is the key to the reestablishment of the correct rapport with the world of nature and the rediscovery of its sacred quality. As long as we consider the body as a mere machine, it is not possible to take seriously the religious understanding of the order of nature nor to live in harmony with it. To rediscover the body as the theater of Divine Presence and manifestation of Divine Wisdom as well as an aspect of reality that is at once an intimate part of our being and a part of the natural order is to reestablish a bridge between ourselves and the world of nature beyond the merely physical and utilitarian.””

Invocation

Subtler than the subtle and vaster than the vast is Atman, the unborn and undying consciousness hidden in our heart. Let us realize the majesty of this, our true nature, by controlling our desires and making our mind and senses tranquil. Then alone shall we be free from the sufferings of relative existence

Sri Anandamayi Ma

"Speech leads you to float on the surface.  When you take a plunge into the deep source of Joy, your speech is silenced.  Only when you float, words come out.  Just think of the limitations of your speech.  You cannot even half express what you know fully and feel deeply . . Try to understand the voiceless speech of the soul."

FROM THE ISHAVASYA UPANISHAD

I am never born as a body.I am not the ten senses.And I am neither intellect,nor mind nor everlasting ego…I am eternally pure self-naturewithout vital breath and mind.I am the witness without intellect,and I am the ever knowing self-nature.There is no doubt, whatsoever, about it.
