Sri Paramhansa Yogananda,

 

Second Coming Of Christ,

The Infinite Christ is unending joy, boundless happiness; how can that tire you? He knocks at the gates of your consciousness, but it is locked with ignorance. How can He get in? You must prepare yourself so that you can let Him in to be born a second time as the awakened Christ Consciousness in you.”



Bg 13.21

 

Samsara is world of sorrow and insecurity birth and death is due to adhyasa. Adhyasa is due to misunderstanding oneself as body and worldly life instead of Self. Adyasa can be removed by understanding he is self,atma, brahman by sravan manan and nidhidyasan. Understanding comes by this. Then you can abide in it and enjoy bliss. Know that you are not the doer,enjoyer. Prakrithi, the gunas satva raja,tamas does all actions and enjoys. You are akarta, abhoktha.





Adyashanti


"At the moment of enlightenment, everything falls away -- everything. Suddenly the ground beneath you is gone, and you are alone.

You are alone because you have realized that there is no other; there is no separation. There is only you, only Self, only limitless emptiness, pure consciousness.

To the mind, the ego, this appears terrifying. When it looks at limitlessness and infinity, it sees meaninglessness and despair. However, the view changes to unending joy and wonder once the mind is let go of.

When you are enlightened, you stand alone. You need no supports of any kind because there is nothing to support; a separate you no longer exists. You realize that the whole ego experience was a flimsy illusion. You stand alone but are never, never lonely because everywhere you look, all you see is That, and you are That.”

ESSENTIALLY then this divine self-perfection is a conversion of the human into a likeness of and a fundamental oneness with the divine nature, a rapid shaping of the image of God in man and filling in of its ideal outlines. It is what is ordinarily termed sādŗśya-mukti, a liberation into the divine resemblance out of the bondage of the human seeming, or, to use the expression of the Gita, sādharmya-gati, a coming to be one in law of being with the supreme, universal and indwelling Divine. To perceive and have a right view of our way to such a transformation we must form some sufficient working idea of the complex thing that this human nature at present is in the confused interminglings of its various principles, so that we may see the precise nature of the conversion each part of it must undergo and the most effective means for the conversion. How to disengage from this knot of thinking mortal matter the Immortal it contains, from this mentalised vital animal man the happy fullness of his submerged hints of Godhead, is the real problem of a human being and living. Life develops many first hints of the divinity without completely disengaging them; Yoga is the unravelling of the knot of Life’s difficulty.

Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda ji The Divine Romance

 


Time is slipping away. why do you let yourself forget God? Why leave this earth without knowing the mystery of life--- why you are here and whither you go? When I went back to India in 1935, I visited Bodh Gaya and sat under the tree where Buddha sat in meditation until he received enlightenment. I could exactly feel his feelings, his thoughts, his ecstasy. When realization comes, what freedom! what joy!

In the Western view:

The created soul is not a transcendent entity—the impurities of the mind taint the soul (which is equated with the mind) and therefore the grace of a savior is required. Do sinful acts, savior forgives. Repeat.

According to Vedic Sanatan Dharm of Hinduism of India:

The impurities of the mind can never taint the transcendent, ever-pure and immortal Self, which is not a created entity; therefore, the Self does not need the grace of a savior. Dharmic acts propel spirituality towards oneness with the Divine.

When impurity is removed from the mind, the bliss of the Self is spontaneously experienced.
