RANDOM THOUGHTS.....

दर्द भी वही देते हैं,जिन्हें हक़ दिया जाता है, 

वरना गैर तो धक्का लगने पर,माफी मांग लिया करते हैं 😔

इबादत की चाकरी मिलती नहीं खैरात में, 

दिल में फ़कीरी और फितरत सूफ़ियाना चाहिए...!!

@4

पेड़ हूँ,हर रोज गिरते हैं पत्ते मेरे ...!!

फिर भी हवाओं से,बदलते नहीं है रिश्ते मेरे!!

5

जब बे असर होने लगे मन्नतों के धागे...

तब समझो और इम्तिहान है इसके आगे...!!

6

जो मिला नहीं उसका क्या गिला करन

दुनियाँ में खुश रहने के बहाने बहुत है!!

7

अब क्या सुनाए आपको, हम आपबीती...

*खैर मनाएँ आप, की वो आप पे नही बीती...

8

Everything is temporary;

Emotions, thoughts, people and scenery.

Do not become attached, just flow with it.

9

Don't be afraid the sweetest,

Come on! Wipe your tears

Everything has an owner

Don't think you are all alone

There's ointment for wounded hearts

There sure is the One who hears

Don't stand there with broken wings

There are invisible arms and fins

Which hug & keep you in blessings.

10

Life becomes the most meaningful  when we realize the simple fact that we will never get the same moment twice.

11

To be alone and to be drunk with your own aloneness is what meditation is all about.

12

Just because someone doesn't necessarily show emotion, doesn't mean they aren't feeling any.

Showing and feeling are two different things.

Their mask is their protector.

Life’s movements and happenings often roll in like a storm and bring with them lessons in their wake. One only has to look at the things and events that disrupt their status quo to find meaning and importance in life. The humans’ constant struggle to maintain a life full of calm weather is the antithesis of life itself. This type of outlook undermines the efforts of the universe.

“Waves are how the ocean knows it’s made of water. The wind carries its lessons and teaches salt water how to be a sea.”

Our lessons are delivered to us by the waves of experience. We would be wise to take advice from the ocean and learn to simply roll up and down when instructed by the universe. Our pain comes from our struggle to remain sedentary. It is not uncommon for the universe to bring us turmoil. If we struggle against this movement we will often find that the next wave comes back stronger. The universe has power and size, and it will not forget the lessons it intends for us to learn. To weather the storm is to accept the lessons. Through this process we can learn to be at peace with the inevitable waves caused by the universe in our lives.

Eventually we can get to a place in our hearts where we welcome the next universal lesson. We can become joyous in the reminder that there is something vastly more experienced in existence than us. We can thank the universe for loving us enough to teach us the lessons that will lead to our eternal enlightenment.

We are not here to sit and wait peacefully for death. We have chosen to be here to learn the many lessons that will guide us back to the light. We have come to this place to sample the delights of love and the delights of heartbreak. We are here to endure the struggles and the hardships. We are here to enjoy the love and the success. We are here to move up, and then down with the wave of our experience. We are here to feel what it is like to be human.

“It is important to remember to accept the fact, that being human involves both pain and love.”

PARAMHANSA YOGANANDA QUOTES

·        Remember this always: Seclusion is the price of greatness! If you want to be more than just a mediocre devotee—one who TALKS ABOUT God but does not KNOW God—then continue with these popcorn fests. Years will go by and you’ll be the same as you are now. I don’t want to see that!

— ~Yoganandaji to a young Dayamata

·        Forget the past. The vanished lives of all men are dark with many shames. Human conduct is ever unreliable until anchored in the Divine. Everything in future will improve if you are making a spiritual effort now.

— Yogananda’s Guru, Sri Yukteswar, quoted in “Autobiography of a Yogi

·         know now that I am a lion of cosmic power. Bleating no more, I shake the error forest with reverberations of Thine almighty voice. In divine freedom I bound through the jungle of earthly delusions, devouring the little creatures of vexing worries and timidities, and the wild hyenas of disbelief. O Lion of Liberation, ever send through me Thy roar of all-conquering courage.
- Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda “Whispers from Eternity”

·        Do not confuse understanding with a larger vocabulary. Sacred writings are beneficial in stimulating desire for inward realization, if one stanza at a time is slowly assimilated. Otherwise, continual intellectual study may result in vanity, false satisfaction, and undigested knowledge.
- Sri Sri Swami Sri Yukteswar Giri “Autobiography of a Yogi”

Kriya is an advanced Raja Yoga technique of pranayama (life-energy control). Kriya reinforces and revitalises subtle currents of life energy (prana) in the spine and brain. The ancient seers of India (rishis) perceived the brain and spine as the tree of life. Out of the subtle cerebrospinal centres of life and consciousness (chakras) flow the energies that enliven all the nerves and every organ and tissue of the body. The yogis discovered that by revolving the life current continuously up and down the spine by the special technique of Kriya Yoga, it is possible to greatly accelerate one’s spiritual evolution and awareness.

Correct practice of Kriya Yoga enables the normal activities of the heart and lungs and nervous system to slow down naturally, producing deep inner stillness of body and mind and freeing the attention from the usual turbulence of thoughts, emotions, and sensory perceptions. In the clarity of that inner stillness,

one comes to experience a deepening interior peace and attunement with one’s soul and with God.·        Remember this always: Seclusion is the price of greatness!

Every sincere effort is registered in the divine consciousness. Your duty as a devotee is to accept whatever He sends you – and, for that matter, whatever He doesn’t send. God alone knows what past karma keeps you from perceiving Him right now. He may want you to finish up your karma in this life, before He gives you eternal bliss in Him.

“Repeat to each of your disciples this majestic promise from the Bhagavad Gita: ‘Swalpamasya dharmasya, trayata mahato bhoyat’ - ‘Even a little bit of the practice of this religion will save you from dire fears and colossal sufferings’.

— Mahavatar Babaji about ‘Kriya Yoga’

“Babaji’s spiritual state is beyond human comprehension. The dwarfed vision of men cannot pierce to his transcendental star. One attempts in vain even to picture the avatar’s attainment. It is inconceivable.

— Sri Yukteswar Giri

Oh, I will come again and again!
Crossing a million crags of suffering,
With bleeding feet, I will come—-
If need be, a trillion times—-
So long as I know
One stray brother is left behind.

KRIYA

Paramahansa Yogananda - The Cosmic Mother
Is God to be thought of only as a vast impersonal Spirit, without form or sex? Or can the Creator be appealed to in some form, which is more familiar to the human mind? If so, shall we say, “Father” or “Mother”? God is both.
There is one portion of Being that is hidden---space beyond the universe, where nothing exists but pure wisdom. That is the Father aspect of God. And all nature is the Mother aspect, because therein we find beauty, gentleness, tenderness and kindness. The flowers, the birds, the beauties of the trees and rivers, all speak to the Mother aspect of God--- the creative, artistic instinct of God. We smile when we think of the Mother, with her diamonds of stars and the Milky Way, Her flowery perfumes, Her laughter of flowing waters, and all Her beauties, seen in creation. When we look at the fruitful land, at all the growing things, at the love of all creatures for their young, we feel tenderness rise within us; we can see and feel the motherly instinct of God. And if Nature’s ways seem cruel and inexplicable at times (in India the Mother, in such moods, is known as Kali) why so do the mother’s methods of protection and discipline seem to the young child.
As you sit in a dim and quiet forest, or stand against blue sky on a mountaintop, or walk on white sand by the sparkling ocean, you cannot help but feel a tenderness within you. That is your reaction to the Mother aspect of God. But if you close your eyes and visualize vast space you will be enthralled by infinity, and you will sense the vibration of pure wisdom---naught else but wisdom. That is the Father aspect of God, the limitless sphere where there is no creation, no stars nor planets, but only the formless power of wisdom. That is the Father. Therefore, God is both a father and a mother.

Guru

Guru

You led my way to peace

You led my way out of delusion

You led my way to happiness

You led my way out of restlessness.

I am thankful to you with all my heart and soul.

You demanded love,

You demand sincerity

I did not have them in plenty

Yet gave them in totality.

I am thankful to you with all my heart and soul.

As a polestar to a sailor,

As a gardener to a sapling,

As a mother to an infant,

As Krishna to Arjuna, You are guiding my way to eternity.

I am thankful to you with all my heart and soul.

From the depths of slumber you woke me with “Whispers from Eternity”

As “God Talks with Arjuna”, So you talk with me,

Assure me my reincarnation is nothing but “Divine Romance”

Bless me to fulfill my “Eternal Quest”,

I am thankful to you with all my heart and soul.

Paramhansa Yogananda on KRIYA

the outgoing life force 

is not wasted and abused 

in the senses,

but constrained to reunite 

with subtler spinal energies.

By such reinforcement of life,

the yogi's body and brain cells 

are electrified

with the spiritual elixir.

~~~~~~~~~~~

The advanced yogi, withholding 

all his mind, will, and feeling

from false identification 

with bodily desires,

uniting his mind with 

superconscious forces 

in the spinal shrines,

thus lives in this world 

as God hath planned, 

not impelled by impulses from the past

nor by new witlessnesses 

of fresh human motivations.

Such a yogi receives fulfillment 

of his Supreme Desire,

safe in the final haven 

of inexhaustibly blissful Spirit.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Kriya, controlling the mind 

directly through the life force,

is the easiest, most effective, 

and most scientific avenue

of approach to the Infinite.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Kriya may justly be called

the airplane route.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Kriya Yoga is an instrument 

through which human evolution 

can be quickened,

Sri Yukteswar explained to his students.

"The ancient yogis discovered 

that the secret of cosmic consciousness

is intimately linked 

with breath mastery."

~~~~~~~~~~~

The Kriya Yogi uses his technique

to saturate and feed all his physical cells 

with undecaying light

and keep them in a magnetized state.

He scientifically makes 

breath unnecessary,

without producing the states 

of subconscious sleep 

or unconsciousness.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kriya Yoga is a simple, 

psychophysiological method

by which the human blood 

is decarbonized 

and recharged with oxygen.

The atoms of this extra oxygen 

are transmuted into life current

to rejuvenate the brain 

and spinal centers.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Untying the cord of breath

which binds the soul to the body,

Kriya serves to prolong life

and enlarge the consciousness 

to infinity.

~~~~~~~~~~~

All scriptures declare man 

to be not a corruptible body,

but a living soul;

by Kriya he is given a method

to prove the scriptural truth.

~~~~~~~~~ 11 ~~~

Kriya Yoga is the real fire rite 

often extolled in the Bhagavad Gita.

The purifying fires of yoga 

bring eternal illumination,

and thus differ much 

from outward and little-effective 

religious fire ceremonies,

where perception of truth is oft burnt, 

to solemn chanted accompaniment,

along with the incense!

~~~~~~~~~ ~~

A yogi who dies 

before achieving full realization

carries with him the good karma

of his past Kriya effort;

in his new life 

he is harmoniously propelled

toward his Infinite Goal.

~~~~~~~~ ~~~

"The Kriya Yoga 

which I am giving to the world 

through you

in this nineteenth century, 

Babaji told Lahiri Mahasaya,

"is a revival of the same science 

which Krishna gave, 

millenniums ago,to Arjuna, 

and which was later known

to Patanjali,and to Christ, 

St. John, St. Paul, 

and other disciples."

~~~~~~~~ ~~~

O Spirit, 

beloved Father, 

Oversoul of the Universe,

Spirit of Spirits, 

Friend of Friends,

teach me the mystery 

of my existence!

Teach me to worship Thee

in breathlessness,

in deathlessness.

(Whispers from Eternity, 1949)
