Today's Sai Inspires   Date: Thursday, January 05, 2012 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY   Pranayama is the practice (sadhana) by which you hold your breath (prana). Its significance may be understood when we recognise that there are five different vital airs namely, prana, apana, vyana, udana and samana. The process by which these vital airs are controlled is called Pranayama and this gives inner vision. In Pranayama the three different kinds of stages are Rechaka (exhaling), Puraka (inhaling) and Kumbhaka (holding breath). Through Rechaka and Puraka one is able to get control over the various vital airs and take them in. Holding the airs (breath) during the process is kumbhaka. Along with this, Prathyahara, should be observed to attain bliss. The organs and the mind always wish to look at and concern themselves with the external objects. The mind develops sensuous desires by looking at them. As a result of these desires, the mind becomes impure. Prathyahara consists in turning the mind inwards and away from the external objects. -BABA   Yesterday's Thought   Date: Wednesday, January 04, 2012 Remember that almost everyone in the world is bound by the rule of Karma (action). But people are so immersed in ignorance that they are unaware of their own moral or intellectual status and of the secrets of Karma. Such people can be saved only by being inspired by the example of the great. How warm is your body now? It may be about 98 degrees; how did it happen? Because the Sun bears many million times this heat at that distance, is it not? Now if the Sun feels that it will not put up with all that fire and becomes cool, what will happen to mankind? If God desists from action, imagine what will be the fate of this vast universe? The one of wisdom (Jnani) too needs to engage in activity, to remove the sloth and delusion of ordinary men. All have to obey the rule of Karma, without any deviation. -BABA       [ Mensaje de la Pizarra de Prashanti Nilayam  - En Español ]
