“In the view of Tantra, the body’s vital energies are the vehicles of the mind. When the vital energies are pure and subtle, one’s state of mind will be accordingly affected. By transforming these bodily energies we transform the state of consciousness.”
Who would dare to go nameless in so secure a universe? Yet, to tell the truth, only the nameless are at home in it.
They bear with them in the center of nowhere the unborn flower of nothing: This is the paradise tree. It must remain unseen until words end and arguments are silent.
“CANNOT YOU SEE CLEARLY THAT EVERYTHING THAT APPEARS TO HAPPEN HAPPENS IN CONSCIOUSNESS? IT IS ALL IMAGINARY, A TEMPORARY HALLUCINATION. DON’T BE LED ASTRAY, NONE OF IT REFLECTS YOUR TRUE STATE.”
Stop Struggling ‘Milarpa, the twelfth-century Tibetan yogi who sang wonderful songs about the proper way to meditate, said that the mind has more projections than there are dust motes in a sunbeam and that even hundreds of spears couldn’t put and end to that. As meditators we might as well stop struggling against our thoughts and realize that honesty and humor are far more inspiring and helpful than any kind of solemn religious striving for or against anything.’
Words. At the spoken level, they are sounds. At the subtle level, they are thoughts. At the silent level, they are gone. It is in this silence, from this silence, that all arises.
“WE ARE NOT HERE TO MATCH AND HOMOGENIZE AND AGREE ON EVERY POINT. ONE SIZE OF SPIRITUALITY DOES NOT FIT ALL. WE ARE HERE TO BE OUR DIVINE SELVES, BOLDLY, PASSIONATELY, RESPECTFULLY, TO THE ABSOLUTE BEST OF OUR ABILITY — AND THIS, THIS IS MORE THAN ENOUGH.”
Freedom is not a commodity that can be purchased. It is a rare, hidden treasure guarded by a five-hooded serpent. Unless you tame this serpent, you cannot have access to this treasure. That treasure is spiritual wealth; that is freedom; that is bliss. The serpent is your mind. The five hoods are the five senses through which the mind-serpent hisses. Five Headed Cobra and The Bliss. Divinity is all about getting rid of the burdens that we carry, Freedom and the bliss will come when the cause of bondage is removed!
Sanatana Dharma, meaning “Eternal or Universal Righteousness” is the original name of what is now popularly called Hinduism. Sanatana Dharma comprises of spiritual laws which govern the human existence. Sanatana Dharma is to human life what natural laws are to the physical phenomena. Just as the phenomena of gravitation existed before it was discovered, the spiritual laws of life are eternal laws which existed before they were discovered by the ancient rishis (sages) for the present age during the Vedic period. Sanatana Dharma declares that something cannot come out of nothing and, therefore, the universe itself is the manifestation of the Divine being.
take advantage of this human boat; Free yourself from sorrow’s mighty stream! This vessel will be later hard to find. The time that you have now is not for sleep!
