Thread: The Understanding that can Aid Meditation

    Re: The Understanding that can Aid Meditation

    Dear Ajeet ji,

    Observing breath is a means to calm the mind ... its a method that is used to Alter the states of mind.

    I am here , in this article, not speaking of altering the states of mind. I am speaking of the Truth that you are not the mind. Altered states of mind are good subjects for psychology study.

    Vedantic Truth is "You are not the Mind" ... and as long as a person is trying to alter the states of mind to see himself happier or calmer ... he is perpetuating the notion that he is the mind ...

    This is not my statement ... this is said by none other than Annamalai Swami , the direct disciple of Ramana Maharshi.

    Love!
    Silence
    Come up, O Lions, and shake off the delusion that you are a sheep

    Dear friends ,
    Mind is prakrithi . Just as nature has got different seasons and different changes mind is also subject to the changes which reflect in different moods . No person is free from the changes either internally or externally .What all given in the spiritual and philosophical scriptures is only the reflection of the experiences of those who gave them . IT need not be the absolute truth . By saying that I don't mean they are false accounts . They are true for a given time and place . Thus all statements are qualified statements . Keeping this in the view point and background we have to proceed in the meditation .Like in the arrow and target game , the concentration just goes and hits the point sometimes and sometimes it misses the target . Even when Kundaline raises and reaches Sahasrara also , it doesn't stay therefor ever , it comes down . So we haveto leve the mind freely and make it a practice . Just as a child who goes out and plays for some times and comes back at the end of the day to eat and sleep , mind left to wander , comes back and gets settled for a time being at the conciousness and again goes back to the outside world .Other wise we don't find all rishi , munis sages and siddhas again and again gettig involved in the worldly matters , though for the benefit of humanity .
