The song of the cosmos

Friend welcome back , in this week we have covered the  why and how of disciplined mind. As promised i am sharing my three critical Learnings . I have also changed the background of video with the art work which i did over the weekend . Hope you like the same and keep adding your comments. Have a great week ahead. Three Critical Learnings. 1. Mind should be discipline by withdrawing  from cravings and absorbing in self or uniting with self. One who has no controls over senses like eating , sleeping , mating , working etc.. will not be able to discipline his mind. 2. Happiness can be achieved by disciplined and calm mind. Controlled mind is not shaken in the midst of the greatest calamity. 3. Restrain the senses , renouncing all desire with conviction and intellect to make mind calm.

Week 20, Chapter 6, Shloka- 33-47. Arjuna asks further— in your compassion O Krishna, you have told me the best practices and ways to attain yoga, however what about the ever-wandering mind that is incontrollable like the blowing winds? and what about a seeker who dies in between before he could attain his liberation while following the discipline of yogic practices told by you? Tells Krishna— the mind no doubt is a wanderer, but constant yogic practice along with detachment will train it to be stable. Also, the mind when tastes the sweetness of self- bliss (the joy of the spirit), will come back to the spirit again and again. And the yogic practices I am telling have the power to tame the attention and it is always better to try than not trying at all. About the seeker who is practicing the discipline of yoga and dies before attaining his liberation—due to his desire for liberation, his death is like a halt- when the soul is taking rest and is a pleasant event. He will certainly t...

 Friends , In this week we have started with Chapter 6 and I am planning to share my three key learnings. Hope you enjoy it and please keep posting your comments and views. 1. One should let go the fruit of action or any intention to be a yogi.  He should still be acting as lazy man cannot claim to be a yogi. 2. Your mind is your best friend and best enemy you should train your mind to have control over your thoughts and ideas. A uncontrolled mind is cause of all violence in society .When you win over your mind you take praise/ blame , happiness/misery equally. When you are at peace you see others shouting, yelling being their problem as they have lost their mind. 3. Yoga is to bring unity in space that is within you to space that is all around you.

  Week 19, Chapter 6, shloka 22-32 The attainment of yoga grants such a state to a yogi, that his attention remains liberated from the feel of agony/sorrow; remains liberated even when the body is destroyed by a weapon or is burnt in the fire. The attention remains engulfed in the divinity and the joy of the spirit such that it forgets the rest of the experiences related to physical body or material world. When a seeker is determined, his attention is stable and drives back to the spirit; and in case the attention is unstable and strays away- then let it be…for the power of determination will bring it back to the spirit again and again. When a seeker accepts the omnipresent nature of the supreme spirit, he in a way accepts the principle of singularity and by accepting this, he leads a life where he is eventually driven towards the attainment of the principle by assuming the same. And thus, he becomes one with Me and becomes omnipresent. Such a being sees his own reflection in t...

 One more week and we have completed chapter 5 . One of my learning is if soemone is miserable he/she would not be in position to hear any logic and advice. The best advice for a miserable person is "Just Let Go". It is common in Spouses, Once you say I quit then only you give ear to other person else you are caught up in your thoughts. Miserable people thinks they know everything. They know what to do and what not to do? What is good and what is not good. Like fools they have no iota of doubt on what they have perceived.  The second learning is, great things just happened you really did not do it and same is with crime.  There is some part which is involved in activity and some part which is not indulged.  Third learning is , dont be feverish and dont think only on outcome.Like Hatred for some one  Cravings for happiness also makes you weak. 

Week 18, Chapter 6, up to shloka 21 The Brahma I am describing here O Arjuna, is my original form. And that is the fruit of the tree of yoga. Asks Arjuna (after listening with great sincerity, the description of ‘Ashtang yoga’ told by Shri Krishna, and the description of Kundalini awakening), No matter how sincerely I try to follow the path told by you O Krishna, I still do not think I am eligible enough to walk on this path...and there may be many more like me. So, tell me, O Krishna, if this path assures success for everyone or there may be few who are really capable would only find their destination walking on this path? Answers Krishna— This path I have shown you is the easiest among all. And you will not know your merit without walking on this path. A little detachment and discipline regarding control of senses may make one eligible enough… and do not forget, to believe you are deserving would always make sure you reach your destination. Only those who are not disciplined…may n...

  Week 18, Chapter 6, (shlokas 13 onwards) The yogasanas suggested by Shri Krishna not only helps in attaining a proper state of meditation but they also remove various toxins from the body—tells Gyaneshwara. When the suitable state of the body is attained, the sacred energy residing in every human’s body ‘Kundalini’ gets awakened. The text elaborately describes the sacred energy that is seated in the base of the spine in the form of coils- just like an offspring of a serpent seated in the shape of coils. The text also suggests various yogic techniques to awaken Kundalini and also, how the kundalini when awakens, first goes to Nabhi ( chakra ), then she travels throughout the organs of the body and in the state of meditation (of the yogi) settles in Sushumna nadi (the central channel). As she travels through various organs of the body, she collects all the negative energy in the form of heat ( garal-roopi jwala ), and when at Sushumna, she takes out all of it. The text here ...
