Both covers need to
be removed in order to not take birth again. We
don't take birth because of the body, but because
of thinking "I am the body".
Time and nature take away the body, but they don't
take away the thought that I am the body. As long
as you think you are the body, you'll take another
body.
Remove the thought "I am body" and start thinking
"I am soul". It is the intellect - not the body
- that thinks "I am body". And the same intellect
that thinks "I am body" can think "I am soul".
Since there cannot be two opposite thoughts in
one intellect, thinking "I am soul" will remove
the thought "I am body".
Then the person who thought of himself as a human
being will think of himself as God.
When we select a path of Yoga and faithfully practice
it, our health improves, our mind calms and we
can find true peace.
Do your yoga practice with authenticity.
While doing Yoga Postures, Meditation and Pranayam
breathing techniques,
let each moment be fully observed. Begin to to
be the Witness of your practice.
While practicing, experience your state of mind
and
ask yourself, 'Where I am now ? What I am thinking?'
Be fully observant and aware. Yoga will assist
keeping your body healthy and bring peace to a
busy mind. These yoga practices in turn can lead
you to true Self-knowledge.
Yoga is often mistakenly limited to the physical
body while
mediation sometimes is seen as being limited to
feelings and calming the mind. But there is much
more to these practices. These practices are really
done to prepare the body and mind in order for
you to be receptive to Self-knowledge. They are
preparations done so that one can experience 'Param
Shakti', the Supreme Power.
The Supreme Power is beyond time. Dreams and thoughts
are not beyond time. The body is not beyond time.
But while you are in this physical embodiment,
why not live in a healthy body and generate good
thoughts and feelings? You must start from this
point .
Once you are Self realized you will go beyond
the body and mind. The Atman, the Soul, is beyond
feelings, thoughts and the effects of time.
Contemplate this Truth.
It is good to motivate people in this direction.
May this ashram serve all who come in their path
to Self Realization.
Swami Paramanandji |
