Higher state of consciousness





I spent my Friday reading more on higher state of consciousness and discussing with a lovely friend about various aspects of the same - what not we discussed... from ancient times, to present, to traps and the actual practices, and where all one can make mistakes, and how to be back on the path.


Came across this wonderful article by Sri Sri Ravishankar, and felt like sharing a few important points from the same here:


The higher state of consciousness is somewhere in between the waking, sleeping and dreaming states. Here, we know we "are" but we don't know "where" we are. This knowledge that I "am," but I don't know "where" I am or "what" I am, is called Shiva. This state gives the deepest possible rest that one can experience. And one can achieve this through meditation.

Cosmic consciousness perceives the whole universe as part of oneself. When we perceive the world as a part of us, love flows strongly between the world and us. This love empowers us to overcome the opposing forces and the disturbances in life.

One just needs to learn the art of letting go. The confluence of knowledge, understanding and practice makes life complete. When you grow into higher states of consciousness, you find that you are no longer thrown off-balance by different situations and disturbances. You become strong yet soft -- a delicate and beautiful individual capable of accommodating different values in life without any conditions. As your consciousness opens and the whole system gets physically, mentally and spiritually elevated, your life truly becomes worth living.

Mai atoot pyaas tu jheel hai - I am the seeker, Thou the ocean

Oh! I just came across these beautiful lines today at a divine Satsang and could not help but putting them across :) Something very close to my heart <3 :) Na sabut hai na daleel hai, mere sath mera rabbe-jaleel hai. Teri rehmaton mein koi kami nahi, meri ehtiyat mai dheel hai. Kaun juda kar sake hame, mai atoot pyas tu jheel hai" which roughly translates to ....(on request - any better suggestions are welcome :) "There is no evidence, nor is there any debate, God is for sure with me, There is no dearth in His generosity, its me who's the careless.. There is no force which can separate us, I am the Seeker, Thou The Ocean " Om Namah bhagwate vasudevayah

Padma Sadhana - its importance

IMPORTANCE OF PADMA SADHANA I've been with yoga - off and on :D:D for various reasons... sometimes for health benefits, sometimes for tranquility. Yoga means a beautiful "Yog" or "union" of mind, body and soul. There are various padvatis or forms or paddhatis of yoga giving various benefits and experiences (Hatha Yoga, Vinyasa Yoga etc), and would like to highlight the importance of Padmasadhna here. Padma Sadhana is a sequence of yoga asanas specially designed by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar for the DSN (Divya Samaj Nirman) Course. Padma means lotus and Sadhana means effort. In the Agama tradition, it is said that the Devi (Goddess) sits on a 5 layered seat or asana. The base of this seat is a tortoise, which represents stability. The second layer is the snake, which rep resents awareness. Above the snake sits the lion, it symbolizes grace. Above the lion sits the Siddha, The Perfect Sage. And above the perfect sage sits the lotus, the symbol of full blo...
