Home Yoga spirituality Spiritual masters Paramahamsa nithyananda Paramahamsa Nithyananda on August 30, 2010 In the universe, on the one hand, planets move so beautifully in order. There are no traffic signs or sign signboards! On the other hand, there is so much of chaos if you look at all the stars and galaxies moving in their own independent paths. In the same way, in quantum physics , the smallest elements are not even particles. They are both particles and waves, and a multitude of probabilities ! But there is an order in that chaos. If the universe is chaos without any order, it"ll head towards destruction. 'Chaos in order" is 'cosmic intelligence" . Take the planet earth. Even if a single thing is missing - temperature, water, air or fire we will not be able to live on this planet earth as we live now. So this is not just an accident. The whole chaos has some order. The whole universe has its own intelligence. … [Read more...] about Chaos In Order Is Comic Intelligence

Home Yoga spirituality Spiritual masters Swami chinmayananda Swami Chinmayananda on May 18, 2010 Doing 'seva' (dedicated ervice) to the country or the community in the cultural field is a subtle art and everyone is not fit for it. By paying wages, you can get any number of workers, but the number of available men for supervisory cadre would be very much less. Architects, for example, would be also lesser in number while creative thinkers are always very few in the world. Still lesser in number than the creative thinkers are the cultural workers and that is so because the cultural workers must have true sympathy for all living beings. You can be a religious man, a spiritual man, but to impart religion and spirituality to others and watch their progress in cultural edification is vastly subtle, and to work therein, the individuals must have special qualifications. Cultural work is by its nature creative work which … [Read more...] about The True Worker

Home Yoga spirituality Spiritual masters Paramahamsa nithyananda Paramahamsa Nithyananda on November 17, 2008 We all attend discourses delivered by realized Masters. We listen to everything they say. We agree or we disagree, and we go home. Once home, we forget all about the discourse. For a lasting change to take place, we must be able to internalize the key points in the discourse. We must remember, recall, and practice at least some of the key points of the discourse. We need ways to remember what was said at the discourse. The question and answer session at the end of each discourse is a way to clarify doubts. The question and answer session is like dining in a restaurant. Everything I have presented to you is like a series of choices. They are like the items on the menu card we hold in our hands. We have several choices here. First, we have to decide if we want to eat. If we want to eat, then we must decide if there is … [Read more...] about Liberation, Not Choices Brings Freedom

Home Yoga spirituality Spiritual masters Ramana maharshi Ramana Maharshi on July 28, 2009 Moksha or liberation is the fruit of all spiritual endeavors. Every spiritual aspirant is aware of it as the ultimate goal. However some seekers weave fanciful ideas of Moksha without clarity in understanding its true nature or with an imaginative inclination to attain some thing super-normal. Once a person approached Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi with the question that whether one can attain Moksha with the body. Suri Nagamma in her 'Letters from Sri Ramanashram' has recorded the incident. Sadguru Ramana who exposed the truth to its bareness, had often confronted such questions with bombastic ideas and deftly dealt with them. Ramana shot back an array of cross questions at the seeker: "What is Moksha?" "Unless there is bondage, how can there be Moksha? "Who is actually bound?" "Me," said the seeker. Ramana continued, … [Read more...] about Moksha In The True Sense

Home Yoga spirituality Spiritual masters Swami chinmayananda Swami Chinmayananda on October 20, 2009 In the first half of the Vedas, called the Karma-Kanda, the path of ritualism is advocated; yet in the second part, the Upanisadic portion, we find a vehement condemnation of that path. This would seem to be a palpable contradiction, but it is not. When our child is in the elementary class, we have to insist that he studies the multiplication tables daily. But when the university level of pure mathematics has been reached, it would be absurd to insist on that same routine. Arithmetic tables were certainly necessary in those early days, but in the higher grades they are redundant. Similarly, rituals have an elementary purpose, without which nothing higher is possible; but to stop with them would be a terrible waste. Approaching the Ideal Teacher When a seeker learns that yagnas (sacrifices) and other rituals … [Read more...] about The Way to Freedom

Home Yoga spirituality Spiritual masters Swami chinmayananda Swami Chinmayananda on October 22, 2009 swami-chinmayananda Continued From The First Part A true teacher, however, has a thorough knowledge of the science of religion and is also rooted in his own subjective experience of that state of Consciousness indicated by the scriptures. Only such a master can convincingly propagate the scriptures and kindle the enthusiasm of students to brave the difficulties of life until they reach the eternal goal. In the olden days, the students would approach a teacher carrying a bundle of fuel as a symbol of the disciple's readiness to surrender totally to the master and tune himself through continuous and tireless service. The fuel in the student's hand symboilized the disciple's declaration that he was coming to the guru only after he had burned all his negativities, animal tendencies, egoistic vanities, and … [Read more...] about The Way To Freedom-Part II
