                                              THE SPIRIT OF HIMALAYA                   PEOPLE WERE ALL PRAISE FOR PURAN, WANTING TO LOVE AND FONDLE HIM, BUT AS SOON AS THEY APPROACHED HE WOULD  RUN AWAY. NEITHER PROUD NOR SHY, PURAN WAS TOO MATURE INSIDE TO NEED OUTSIDE CARE OR ATTENTION. A TRANSPARENT WISDOM SHONE IN HIS EYES. AS HE SAT CROSS-LEGGED WITH HIS MOTHER IN THE TEMPLE OR WITHHIS FATHER IN SATSANG, HIS BODY REDMAINDED AMAZINGLY MOTIONLESS. DEVOTEES OF MAHARAJ AND DEVIJI REVERED HIM AS A BORN YOGI.                 ON THE OCCASION OF THE FESTIVAL OF SHARADA, PUJA, PEOPLE TURNED OUT IN GREAT NUMBERS. AS THE CENTRAL FIGURE, BHAIRAVI WORE A WHITE SILK SAREE WITH A WIDE BLOOD-RED BORDER. GOLDEN ORNAMENTS SPARKLED ABOUT HER NECK, ARMS AND HANDS, AND UPON HER BROAD FOREHEAD A LARGE RED POWDER MARK SANCTIFIED HER, MAKING HER FACE SHINE IN DIVINE BEAUTY. STANDING IN FRONT OF THE TEMPLE IMAGE TO PERFORM THE CEREMONY, BHAIRAVI APPEARED THAT DAY AS A MANIFESTATION OF THE INIVERSAL MOTHER

                                                                                              INSPIRING THOUGHTS                  THE MAJORITY OF US CANNOT SEE BEYONG A FEW YEARS, JUST AS SOME ANIMALS CANNOT SEE BEYONG A FEW STEPS. JUST A LITTLE NARROW CIRCLE - THAT IS OUR WORLD. WE HAVE NOT THE PATIENCE TO LOOK BEYOND, AND THUS BECOME IMMORAL AND WICKED. THIS IS OUR WEAKNESS, OUR POWERLESSNESS.                   TO LOVE ANYONE PERSONALLY IS BONDAGE. LOVE ALL ALIKE, THEN ALL DESIRES FALL OFF.                   WHATEVER MAY BE THE POSITION OF PHILOSOPHY, WHATEVER MAY BE THE POSITION OF METAPHYSICS, SO LONG AS THERE IS SUCH A THING AS DEATH IN THE WORLD, SO LONG AS THERE IS SUCH A THING AS WEAKNESS IN THE HUMAN HEART, SO LONG AS THERE IS A CRY GOING OUT OF THE HEART OF MAN IN HIS VERY WEAKNESS, THERE SHALL BE A FAITH IN GOD.               IF WE WERE REALLY UNATTACHED, WE SHOULD ESCAPE ALL THIS PAIN OF VAIN EXCEPTION, AND COULD CHEERFULLY DO GOOD WORK IN THE WORLD, NEVER WILL UNHAPPINESS

                                     TWO LAYERS OF MIND AND BODY                 THE STATES OF THE MIND ARE ALWAYS KNOWN BECAUSE THE LORD OF THE MIND IS UNCHANGEABLE.                THE WHOLE GIST OF THIS THEORY IS THAT THE UNIVERSE IS BOTH MENTAL AND MATERIAL. AND BOTH THE MENTAL AND MATERIAL WORLDS ARE IN A CONTINUOUS STATE OF FLUX. WHAT IS THIS BOOK?              IT IS A COMBINATION OF MOLECULES IN CONSTANT CHANGE. ONE LOT IS GOING OUT, AND ANOTHER COMING IN, IT IS A WHIRLPOOL, BUT WHAT MAKES THE UNITY? WHAT MAKES IT THE SAME BOOK? THE CHANGES ARE RHYTHMICAL, IN HARMONIOUS ORDER THEY ARE SENDING IMPRESSIONS TO MY MIND, AND THESE PIECED TOGETHER MAKE A CONTINIOUS PICTURE.             SWAMI VIVEKANANDA DOES NOT COMMENT ON THE 16TH SUTRA IN MOST VERSIONS OF PATANJALI YOGA SUTRA. THIS SUTRA IS:             AN OBJECT EXISTS INDEPENDENT OF ITS COGNIZANCE BY ANY ONE CONSCIOUSNESS. WHAT HAPPENS TO IT WHEN THAT CONSCIOUSNESS IS NOT THERE TO PERCIEVE IT?            MIND ITSELF IS CONTINUOUSLY

                                                   TWO TYPES OF KARMA                   KARMA IS OF TWO KINDS, SOON TO BE FRUCTIFIED, AND LATE TO BE FRUCTIFIED, BY MAKING SAMYAMA ON THAT, OR BY THE SIGNS CALLED SRISTHA, PORTENTS, THE YOGIS KNOW THE EXACT TIME OF SEPERATION FROM THEIR BODIES.                  WHEN THE YOGI MAKES A SAMYAMA ON HIS OWN KARMA, UPON THOSE IMPRESSIONS IN HIS MIND MAKES WHICH ARE NOW WORKING, AND THOSE WHICH ARE JUST WAITING TO WORK, HE KNOWS EXACTLY BY THOSE THAT ARE WAITING WHEN HIS BODY WILL FALL. HE KNOWS HINDUS THINK VERY MUCH OF THAT KNOWLEDGE OR CONSCIOUSNESS OF THE NEARNESS OF DEATH, BECAUSE IT IS TAUGHT IN THE GITA THAT THE THOUGHTS AT THE MOMENT OF DEPARTURE ARE GREAT POWERS IN DETERMINING THE NEXT LIFE.                BY MAKING SAMYAMA ON FRIENDSHIP, ETC, VARIUOS STRENGTH COMES.               WHEN A YOGI HAS ATTAINED TO THIS SAMYAMA AND WANTS STRENGTH, HE MAKES A SAMYAMA ON THE STRENGTH ON THE STRENGTH OF THE ELEPHANT, AND GETS IT. INFINITE ENERGY I

                                                                    GOAL                WHAT IS THE GOAL, SIR?            REALIZATION OF THE SPIRIT, ANSWERED SATYAKAM SERENELY.             BUT THEN, WHY ARE THERE SO MANY TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS ON THE PATH OF SPIRITUAL SEEKING? SHOUTED A LADY FROM THE AUDIENCE, AS IF IN ANGONY.            SATYAKAM LOOKED UP AT THE WOMAN WITH UTMOST COMPASSION AND REPLIED, THE REALIZATION OF SPIRIT IS NOT AN UNINTERUPTED ADVANCE. SUFFERING AND PAIN CANNOT BE ABOLISHED AS LONG AS THE SPIRITUAL LIFE HAS TO BE LIVED UNDER HUMAN CONDITIONS. UNTIL ONE'S WHO INTEGRATED BEING IS OFFERED WITH DEVOTION TO THE DIVINE THE PROCESS OF GRADUAL UPLIFTMENT THROUGH TESTS AND SUFFERNG CANNOT CEASE. WHEN DEVOTION MATURES AND BECOMES COMPLETE, ONE HAS THE VISION OF GOD.             AFTER A DEEP SIGH HE CONTINUED. PLEASURES SEEM TO BE IN THE SATISFACTION OF IMPULSES, BUT THE GOOD REQUIRES THE TAMING OF THE LOWER TENDENCIES. CONSCIOUS ACTION TEND TO BECOME UNCONSCIOUS HA

                                              CYCOLOGY OF IDENTIFICATION                   HAVING RECOGNIZED GOD AS THE ADVANCING PRESENCE IN NATURE,SOCIETY, AND HUMANKIND AND HARMONIZED YOURSELF WITH ALL THESE, AND HAVING CONSECRATED YOURSELF TO THAT WITHIN YOU THAT IMPELS TOWARD THE GREATEST AND THE HIGHEST, THED NEXT STEP IS TO BECOME AWARE OF AND RECOGNIZE FULLY THE FACT THAT THE PRINCIPLE OF POWER WITHIN YOU IS GOD HIMSELF. YOU MUST CONSCIOUSLY IDENTIFY YOURSELF WITH HIGHEST. THIS IS NOT SOME FALSE OR UNTRUE POSITION TO BE ASSUMED, IT IS A FACT TO BE RECOGNIZED. YOU ARE ALREADY ONE WITH GOD, YOU WANT TO BECOME CONSCIOUSLY AWARE OF IT.                 GOD HAS GIVEN HUMANKIND THE PRINCIPLE OF POWER. THIS IS NOT LIMITED TO A FEW EXCEPTIONAL PEOPLE, BUT TO ALL OF US. THE PRINCIPLE OF POWER IS IN WITHIN EACH OF US, BUT OUR CONSCIOUSNESS TO ERROR AND MISTAKE. TO SAVE OURSELVES THAT DOES KNOW ALL. WE MUST BECOME CONSCIOUSLY ONE WITH GOD.                  THERE IS A MIND SURROUNDING US ON

                                                             MEDITATION                            THE CAUSE OF THAT WHICH IS TO BE AVOIDED IS THE JUNCTION OF THE SEER AND THE SEEN.                       WHO IS THE SEER? THE SELF OF MAN, THE PURUSA. WHAT IS THE SEEN? THE WHOLE NATURE, BEGINNING WITH THE MIND, DOWN TO GROSS MATTER. ALL THIS PLEASURE AND PAIN ARISES FROM THE JUNCTION BETWEEN THIS PURUSA AND THE MIND. THE PURUSA, YOU MUST REMEMBER, ACCORDING TO THIS PHILOSOPHY, IS PURE, IT IS WHEN IT IS JOINED TO NATURE, AND BY REFLECTION THAT IT APPEARS TO FEEL EITHER PLEASURE OR PAIN.                       THE EXPERIENCED IS COMPOSED OF ELEMENTS AND ORGANS, IS OF THE NATURE OF ILLUMINATION, ACTION AND INTERIA, AND IS FOR THE PURPOSE OF EXPERIENCE AND RELEASE (OF THE EXPERIENCER).                      THE EXPERIENCED, THAT IS NATURE, IS COMPOSED OF ELEMENTS AND ORGANS- THE ELEMENTS GROSS AND FINE WHICH COMPOSE THE WHOLE OF NATURE, AND THE ORGANS OF THE SENSES, MIND, ETC,. AND IS OF THE N
