THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
To describe anything in words is difficult; it might even cause boredom. But to demonstrate it by deed is easier and more pleasant! Through meditation, spiritual aspirants are able to cast off sheaths of ignorance, layer after layer. They withdraw their sense perceptions from contact with worldly experiences. The process that aims at this holy consummation alone deserves to be called meditation. For this process, you must be equipped with good habits, discipline, and high ideals. You must be full of renunciation towards worldly things and their attractions. Whatever the situation, you should conduct yourself with enthusiasm and joy. Whatever is done must be dedicated not to eke out a livelihood but for earning Atmic bliss (Atma-ananda). You should train yourself to adopt a good sitting pose (Asana) to avoid tension of the body, and to ease the mind from the weight and pressure of the body. If you thus truly meditate, you will achieve oneness with the Divine and experience the joy of realizing the Atma within yourself.

Date: Thursday, February 03, 2011 The person bound by objective desire will try in various ways to fulfill them. They will be a slave to their senses and their pursuits. But if you withdraw the senses from the world and get control over their master, the mind, and engage that mind in Thapas (penance), then you can establish Swaa-rajya or Self-mastery or independence over yourself. To allow the senses to attach themselves to objects — that is bondage. When the mind that flows through the senses towards the outer world is turned inwards and is made to contemplate on the Atma, it attains Liberation or Moksha.
