''There's something within you that knows what to do.

There is a power greater than you that knows how to take care of you without your help.

All you've got to do is to surrender to it.

Surrender your thoughts, your mind, your ego, to the current that knows the way.

It will take care of you.

It will take better care of you than you can ever imagine.'

Bhagavad Gita

 

Sri Krishna said:"Remembering me at the time of death, close down the doors of the senses and place the mind in the heart.Then, while absorbed in meditation, focus all energy upwards to the head.Repeating in this state the divine name, the syllable Om that represents the changeless Brahman,you will go forth from the body and attain the supreme goal."

HAZRAT INAYAT KHAN

 

“Man forms his future by his actions; his every good or bad action spreads its vibrations and becomes known throughout the universe. The universe is like a dome; it vibrates to that which you say in it, and answers the same back to you; so also is the law of action; we reap what we sow.”

THE TREE OF LIFE

 

 Bob Peterson

When you view the physical world from an out-of-body perspective, you start to realize that this world is just a playground for spiritual growth and that we're all just “passing through” this place as part of a much larger journey. Trivial things start to take the back seat. Even important things start to take the back seat. What's left in the front seat? Joy. Love. Happiness. Tears. Emotions. Experiences. Laughter. Life. Then you can start to see life as a journey, and not as a predicament. You can view each experience, good and bad, as a steppingstone to a greater you. And as God works through us, our lessons are given to us like clockwork. Sometimes they're handed to us on a silver platter. Other times they're thrown, like pies, in our faces.

Geshe Kelsang Gyatso

 "The highest objective, and most meaningful use of a human life, is to strive to attain full enlightenment to be able to free all living beings from the sufferings of samsara."

KRISHNAMURTI

Nature is not imaginary: it is actual;

and what is happening to you now is actual.

From the actual you must begin—

with what is happening now—

and the now is timeless.

NOW...

 

DEATH IS THE ULTIMATE UNION OF SELF AND ALL BY UNKNOWN

When a person is dying, his voice goes into his mind; his mind into his breath; his breath into heat; the heat into the highest divinity. that which is the finest essence - the whole world has that as its soul. That is Reality. That is Atman. That art thou, Svetaketu. [Chanodgya 6.8.6]

As these flowing rivers that tend towards the ocean, on reaching the ocean disappear, their name and form are destroyed and it is called simply "the ocean" - even so of this spectator these sixteen parts that tend towards the Person [Purusha, the cosmic unity], on reaching the Person disappear, their name and form are destroyed, and it is called simply "the Person." [Prasna 6.5]

When one has come into the presence of undecaying immortals, What decaying mortal here below, who understands, who meditates on the pleasures of beauty and delight, Would delight in a life over-long? [Katha 1.28] When are cut all the knots of the heart here on earth, then a mortal becomes immortal! [Katha 6.15]

ATTAINMENT OF THE EVER ATTAINED

God has bestowed upon Jeev (human being, embodied soul), this human body, so that it may attain salvation. From this view-point, in reality this human life is only for engaging in spiritual disciplines “saadhanyoni“. Simply by following one’s spiritual disciplines, a human being can attain salvation, he can be liberated from the shackles of birth and death cycle.

Why can he be liberated?

Because in fact he is liberated.

Therefore first and the foremost a seeker should firmly accept the Truth that I can be liberated. Why I can be liberated? Because I am liberated.

I can attain Paramatma (God). Why I can attain God? Because God is ever-attained. That which is in all countries, in all time zones, in all beings, in all things, in all states, in all situations and incidents, in all circumstance, how can that God be ever separated from us?

Just as God can never be separate from us, so can we never become one with the body. Till today we have been in many wombs (born as many different creatures), we have taken on many bodies, but none of the bodies have remained with us, while we (Self) remained as-is. Therefore an aspirant must accept the Truth that he has an indivisible relationship with God and the body has an indivisible relationship with the world.
