Oh! Stupid Mind.

Oh stupid mind, never like harming!

you are the juice of sugar for those who blend in, You see!

you are above caste, creed, color and sexual orientation, for those who blend in.

You will never die to never born if you are ever left with a thought that You are not a brahman(the supreme self) but, a brahmin(ISKON), shudra, vaisya hindu muslim christian, gay, black or white.

You will be like a skull up the hillock of pride drying white, for thy pride to be in the cycle of repeated birth and death.

aum! shanti!

Swami Vivekananda

All the powers in the universe are already ours. It is we who have put our hands before our eyes and cry that it is dark.
Swami Vivekananda

By the study of different RELIGIONS we find that in essence they are one.
Swami Vivekananda

GOD is the ever-active providence, by whose power systems after systems are being evolved out of chaos, made to run for a time and again destroyed.
Swami Vivekananda

GOD is to be worshipped as the one beloved, dearer than everything in this and next life.
Swami Vivekananda

If faith in ourselves had been more extensively taught and practiced, I am sure a very large portion of the evils and miseries that we have would have vanished.
Swami Vivekananda

If you think about disaster, you will get it. Brood about death and you hasten your demise. Think positively and masterfully, with confidence and faith, and life becomes more secure, more fraught with action, richer in achievement and experience.
Swami Vivekananda

Our duty is to encourage every one in his struggle to live up to his own highest idea, and strive at the same time to make the ideal as near as possible to the Truth.
Swami Vivekananda

Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success.
Swami Vivekananda

That man has reached immortality who is disturbed by nothing material.
Swami Vivekananda

The greatest religion is to be true to your own nature. Have faith in yourselves!
Swami Vivekananda

The moment I have realized God sitting in the temple of every human body, the moment I stand in reverence before every human being and see God in him - that moment I am free from bondage, everything that binds vanishes, and I am free.
Swami Vivekananda

The Vedanta recognizes no sin it only recognizes error. And the greatest error, says the Vedanta is to say that you are weak, that you are a sinner, a miserable creature, and that you have no power and you cannot do this and that.
Swami Vivekananda

The will is not free - it is a phenomenon bound by cause and effect - but there is something behind the will which is free.
Swami Vivekananda

The world is the great gymnasium where we come to make ourselves strong.
Swami Vivekananda

Truth can be stated in a thousand different ways, yet each one can be true.
Swami Vivekananda

We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves. If what we are now has been the result of our own past actions, it certainly follows that whatever we wish to be in future can be produced by our present actions; so we have to know how to act.
Swami Vivekananda

We are what our thoughts have made us; so take care about what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live; they travel far.
Swami Vivekananda

When an idea exclusively occupies the mind, it is transformed into an actual physical or mental state.
Swami Vivekananda

You cannot believe in God until you believe in yourself.
Swami Vivekananda

Why God cannot incarnate... and why people who say they are incarnations of god are cheaters don't be fooled by these dogmas....

The Vedas have a number of evidences to prove that God is
unborn:

Rigveda 1.67.3: “The unborn (Aja) God is holding together the
whole universe including the earth, the space, the sky and the
luminous stars like the Sun”

Rigveda 6.50.14: “God is unborn and is so great that the
world is like his one footstep. O great God, listen to our prayers.”

Rigveda 7.35.3: “May Unborn God be gracious to us all, may the
clouds of sky shower rains for our well being.”

Yajurveda 40.8: “O human being! Worship God who is
Omnipotent and devoid of any kind of body i.e. Sthoola, Sukshma or
Kaarana Shareera. He is free from all the bondage of nerves or
veins, is Omnipresent, all knowledgeable, he punishes the sinners, is
Beginningless, eternal and has bestowed the knowledge of the
Vedas. He and only He is adorable.”

The soul is an infinitesimal unity hence it can move from one
place to another or come down from up or in any direction. In
Emancipation, the emancipated soul can come down or go up
anywhere in the universe with its will. Some times there is an
extreme will of the imbodied soul (Godly person or Lord i.e. Bhagwan)
to serve the common man even after death with grace of God. If it is
embodied in the future e.g. the great soul like Lord Krishna who
explains his most loveable disciple friend Arjuna in the Geeta: ---

• “Yadaa Yadaa Hi Dharmasya Glanirbhavati Bhaarata,
Abhyutthaanamadharmasya Tadaatmaanam Srijyaamyaham”.
(Geeta: 4/7)

"Whenever there is decay of righteousness, O Bharata (O
Arjuna)! And a rise of Un righteousness, then manifest myself, (with
the grace of God) for the protection of the good, for the destruction of
the wicked and for the establishment of righteousness, I am born in
every age (If God permits me). Or-- O Bharata with the grace of God,
if He permits me, “whenever there is decay of righteousness and a
rise of unrighteousness, (it is my extreme wish) to be born on earth
to protect the good, for the destruction of the wicked and for the
establishment of righteousness”.

Here it is clear that Shri Krishna was a human being not
God. Human beings take birth, this is their incarnation with the grace
of almighty God. But ordinary simpleteous ignorant people have
misunderstood the meaning of the most popular Shloka of the Geeta
(the epic of Hindu community), which is being misquoted by selfish
gurus who want their disciples to worship them as God

If incarnation of God is assumed, many of His very important
attributes automatically stand confuted.

If a phase or part of God is believed to take birth, in such
case God will not continue to remain wholly perfect (as all those who
are born and die are subject to limitations and imperfections). If we
believe in His birth naturally His death will follow.

God will then be accepted as the cycle of birth and death like normal beings.
If a phase or part like God takes birth, the attributes of phase or part
logically exist in the whole also. It means before birth and after death
He did not exist.

His attribute of being Beginningless (anaadi) and
infinite (annant) eternal and His All- Pervading nature will stand
confuted.

God is all pervading in every minutest particle and atom as
such in an incarnation where from He will come and whither He will
go? If by incarnation God takes a form qualified with limitation (of an
animal, of a human being or of any other), His attributes of
formlessness, and limitlessness or of infinity is contradicted.

It is impossible to believe the argument that infinite God can be confined
into the womb of a mother or in any form shape or body.
It would be against all logic to believe that God does take a
human or other form and still He remains formless too.

It is never possible to hold such diagonally opposite attributes together
simultaneously nor it is understandably acceptable to a person with
open mind reasoning.

All the incarnations were subjected to suffering, pain and
happiness in their lives, hence, by accepting such incarnations, God
cannot be proved to be free from pain and pleasure. Their lives are
full of changes, so God loses the attribute to changeless (Avikaari).
Further all incarnations grew old so God like ordinary man also have
to be conceived as decaying. Besides all the incarnations of God met
with death, as all know that Bhagwan Shri Krishna was shot by an
arrow, and others also died in some way or the other. Being so how
would it be possible to prove that God is immortal and imperishable.

It is said that God to further the cause of righteousness, to
kill the demons, to punish the wicked, to eradicate the evil and to
bless His devotees, incarnates himself. Out of the four Yugas, the
Satayuga is said to be the foremost in righteousness, while in the
Tretaa, the Dwaapara and the Kaliyuga as righteousness tend to
decrease and sins go on increasing gradually. It is but strange to
uphold the necessity of 23 out of 24 incarnations in the holy ages of
Satayuga, Dwaapara and Tretaa and only one out of the twenty-four
incarnations in Kaliyuga, the most sinful period who is still awaited.
If the purpose of incarnation is to uphold righteousness, their
least number should have been in Satayuga and the largest number
in Kaliyuga, but the position is reverse, Is it reasonably conceivable?
The logic that God incarnates to kill demons is to
underestimate the Omnipotent God. The Omnipresent, Who can
create the whole universe and can only destroy the universe by
deluge, cannot be believed to incarnate and to suffer all agony of the
coming into the womb of a mother, just to kill Ravana, Kansa and
other demons, who were not even a drop compared to the universe.

The Omnipresent God was inside the body of the demons
also, He could kill them from within their own bodies, then why
incarnation?
It is also said that God incarnates for the enactment of his
sports (Lila) and His might.

The whole universe with numberless stars, the Moon, the
Sun, the Milky Way, the miraculous acts are so vivid and impressive
proof of His might. Lila that in comparison to all this, the acts of
incarnations are totally insignificant, that is not understandable to
bring the Almighty, Omnipresent God to the level of animal forms or
to human level, full of limitations and not devoid of errors as well.
Maata Sita who was forced to face Agni-Pariksha (fire ordeal)
succeeded there, but even then she was exiled while she was
pregnant. Further Cheeraharana or taking away garments of ladies
bathing from riverbanks. Killing all the generals of the Kauravas
against the rules of war decided at the start of the Mahabharata war,
killing all the innocent Kshatriyas because one Kshatriya killed the
father of Shri Parshurama and Shri Rama and Parshurama both
incarnations were face to face in struggle in the court of Janaka, are
all such instances. The list of which could be stretched to any length.
Yogis and Rishis (saints and sages) worship God for their whole life
to get rid of the cycle of birth and death, the pains of birth and the
horrors of death.

The sad part of the concept is that the devotees of the same
God have believed God Himself to come in the cycle of birth and
death, when salvation is the aim of human life attainable by the
grace of God Himself. Is it the gratitude of the devotees towards
God?

Lord Krishna took trouble to save the humiliation of one
Draupadi, today millions of ladies are being humiliated. Further, to
save the life of one elephant, Lord Vishnu ran barefooted, today
millions of cows are slaughtered daily for meals, with the first ray of
the rising sun. The righteousness, faith in God and His worship, the
Vedas, the functions of religious rituals, human character with
behavior, food, drinks, are today at the unimaginable and
unprecedented low level, indescribable in words. The question is
where is the incarnation of God now? All this proves practically the
hollowness of the concept of incarnation.

God is all pervading in every minutest particle and atom as
such in an incarnation where from He will come and whither He will
go? If by incarnation God takes a form qualified with limitation (of an
animal, of a human being or of any other), His attributes of
formlessness, and limitlessness or of infinity is contradicted.

The Absolute and Love

In my opinion love is a product of creation, but creation is the root cause of disturbances in the nature.

The soul nature of universe is calm (void). What persist in the universe is immense peace, which is always disturbed by the creation, creation in itself is the source of disturbances into the soul nature of the absolute.

Absolute is like the syllable AUM when you pronounce that syllable AUM, the sound that comes out of it is what i refer to as absolute.

Creation produces disturbances in that calmness, you can see a child's birth, volcanos creating new lands, a black hole bursting into explosion, all these things produce disturbances into the water calm nature of the absolute.

And what follows creation is love.

!! AUM SHANTI !!

BLISS (the absolute nature of self)

What is the Discerning of Reality?
-- the Self is real; other than it, all is fancy.

What is the Self?
-- He who stands apart from the Physical, the Emotional, and the Causal Vestures; who is beyond the five Veils; who is witness of the three Modes; whose own nature is Being, Consciousness, Bliss -- this is the Self.

What are the Five Veils?
--the five veils are ---> The Food-formed; the Life-formed; the Emotion-formed; the Knowledge-formed; the Bliss-formed.

What is the Bliss-formed?
-- This verily is the Substance not quite pure because of the unwisdom that gives birth to the Causal Vesture; in it are founded all joys; this is the Bliss-formed Veil.Thus the Five Veils.By saying: "Mine are the lives; mine is emotion; mine is the soul; mine is the wisdom"; these are recognized as possessions. And just as a bracelet, a necklace, a house and such things separated from one's self, are recognized as possessions, so the Five Veils and the Vestures, recognized as possessions, are not the Self (the Possessor).

What then, is the Self?-- It is that whose own-nature is Being, Consciousness, Bliss.

What is Being?-- What stands through the Three Times (Present, Past, Future) -- this is Being.

What is Consciousness?-- The own-nature of Perceiving.

What is Bliss?-- The own-nature of Joy.

What is the Longing to be free?-- It is the longing: "That Freedom may be mine."

Thus let a man know that the own-nature of his own Self is Being, Consciousness, Bliss.

What is non-attachment?--As thoughts arise, destroying them utterly without any residue in the very place of their origin is non-attachment. Just as the pearl-diver ties a stone to his waist, sinks to the bottom of the sea and there takes the pearls, so each one of us should be endowed with non-attachment, dive within oneself and obtain the Self-Pearl.

What is the nature of the mind?
--What is called 'mind' is a wondrous power residing in the Self. It causes all thoughts to arise. Apart from thoughts, there is no such thing as mind. Therefore, thought is the nature of mind. Apart from thoughts, there is no independent entity called the world. In deep sleep there are no thoughts, and there is no world.

There is an image of the Eternal, which attributes itself to the vestures, and is called the Life. And this Life, through the power of Nature, regards the Lord as separate from itself.

When wearing the disguise of Unwisdom, the Self is called the Life.

Thus, through the difference of their disguises, there is an appearance of difference between the Life and the Lord. And as long as this appearance of difference continues, so long will the revolving world of birth and death continue. For this reason the idea of the difference between the Life and the Lord is not to be admitted.

But how can the idea of unity between the self-assertive, little-knowing Life, and the selfless, all-knowing Lord, be accepted, according to the famous words, that thou art; since the genius of these two, the Life and the Lord, is so opposite?

This is not really so; for 'Life attributing itself to the physical and emotional vestures' is only the verbal meaning of thou; while the real meaning of thou is 'pure Consciousness, bare of all disguises, in dreamless life.'

And so 'the Lord full of omniscience and power' is but the verbal meaning of that; while the real meaning of that is 'pure Consciousness stripped of disguises.' Thus there is no contradiction in the unity of the Life and the Lord, since both are pure Consciousness.

In the states of waking and dream, there are thoughts, and there is a world also. Just as the spider emits the thread (of the web) out of itself and again withdraws it into itself, likewise the mind projects the world out of itself and again resolves it into itself. When the mind comes out of the Self, the world appears. Therefore, when the world appears (to be real), the Self does not appear; and when the Self appears (shines) the world does not appear. When one persistently inquires into the nature of the mind, the mind will end leaving the Self (as the residue). What is referred to as the Self is the Atman. The mind always exists only in dependence on something gross; it cannot stay alone. It is the mind that is called the subtle body or the soul (jiva).

love is just a product of creation but the soul nature is bliss, uniformity of the absolute with self. And love does not make us unique it is a product of creation uniformly present in all creation. but The wisdom to realise the self is unique among humans. And i don't tink it is wise enough to say love is life as life means many things not just love life is search of the bliss the absolute.

Who is then free in life?

--Just as there is the firm belief that 'I am the body, ' 'I am a man, ' 'I am a priest, ' 'I am a serf, ' so he who possesses the firm conviction that 'I am neither priest nor serf nor man, but stainless Being, Consciousness, Bliss, the Shining, the inner Master, Shining Wisdom, ' and knows this by direct perception, he is Free-in-life.

the relation between smokin' ganja and shiva is the the story of samudra manthan(churning of the ocean) (the mind of human consciousness) for the amrit goal of self realisation

the relation between smokin' ganja and shiva is the the story of samudra manthan(churning of the ocean) (the mind of human consciousness) for the amrit goal of self realisation

Symbolism of Samudra manthan(churning of the ocean)

The story represents the spiritual endeavor of a person to achieve self-realisation through concentration of mind, withdrawal of senses, control of desires and practice of austerities and asceticism.

* The Devas and Asuras represent the positives and negatives respectively of one's personality. The participation of both the Devas and the Asuras signifies that when one is seeking bliss through spiritual practice, one has to integrate and harmonise both the positive and negative aspects and put both the energies to work for the common goal.

* The ocean of milk is the mind or the human consciousness. The mind is like an ocean while the thoughts and emotions are the waves in the ocean.

* Mandhara, the mountain symbolises concentration. The word Mandhara is made up of two words Mana (mind) and Dhara (a single line) which means holding the mind in one line. This is possible only by concentration.

* Mount Mandhara was upheld by Lord Vishnu as a Kurma (tortoise). The tortoise here symbolises the withdrawal of the senses into oneself (just as a tortoise withdraws its head into its shell) as one practices mental concentration and meditation or contemplation.

* Vasuki symbolises desire. Vasuki used in the churning of the ocean denotes that the Devas and the demons held desire (to seek immortality) as a rope and churned the mind with the help of concentration and withdrawal of the senses. Desire, if not controlled will overpower and destroy an individual.

* The Halahala poison(or ganja today) symbolises suffering and pain (counter-reaction of the mind and body) that one undergoes at the beginning of spiritual sadhana (practice). When the mind is subjected to intense concentration, the first thing that comes out of the process is intense suffering and great inner turmoil. These must be resolved otherwise further progress is not possible.

==> * Lord Shiva symbolises the ascetic principle. His role in this story as the consumer of poison suggests that one can deal with the early problems of spiritual life by cultivating the qualities of Lord Shiva, namely, courage, initiative, willingness, discipline, simplicity, austerity, detachment, compassion, pure love and asceticism.

The various precious objects that come out of the ocean during the churning stand for the psychic or spiritual powers (Siddhis) which one gains as s/he progresses spiritually from stage to stage. The seeker should be careful about these powers as they can hamper her/his progress unless s/he uses them judiciously, not for selfish gains but for others' welfare. This is the reason why the Gods and demons distributed these objects as they did not want to lose sight of their original aim which was to gain immortality.

* Dhanvantari symbolises health and signifies that immortality (longevity, to be correct) or spiritual success can be achieved only when the body and the mind are in a perfect state of health.

* Mohini symbolises delusion of the mind in the form of (or originating from) pride. It is the pride of achievement to which the asuras or the demons succumbed and thus lost sight of their goal. Pride and egoism are the last hurdles one has to overcome in spiritual life before experiencing self-realisation.

* The Amrit symbolises the ultimate achievement of the goal of self-realistion.

!! AUM NAMAH SHIVAYA !!

what is a guru?

i didn't know i would initiate such interesting responses in lord shiva tribe, i just wanted to know the western opinion on smoking ganja. it was very interesting discussion it is worth reading in the shiva tribe. anyways what i realised that many people have misconception about ganja 70% just smoke without knowing the significance of it but pretend that they are doing it for shiva and they forget that shiva symbolises a fight between drugs and meditation shiva symbolises self (atman and an egarness to realise atman).

and the people with whome they smoke in india basically they don't know the symbolism of it themselves they just know the process of passing the chilom and will get angry if you pass it incorrectly that is good but what is wrong is that one should know what shiva means, and how we can apply the conception of shiva to ourselves. one more thing i would like to point out here that mearly by growing the beards and hair like jatadhari it is not necessary that one become a great philosopher or guru or shiva, or a true sage.

there are three types of gurus 1.stone , 2. leaf , 3. wood .

suppose some point in life you are in the midst of a wirlpool (wirlpool of life) and you goto the first guru (who is stone) and ask i am in darkness and there is a big wirlpool my gurudev please make me cross the river (river of life ). the first guru is stone. he says sit on me i will make u cross the river. you sit on him and as the guru enters the water both of you sink.

if you goto the second guru the guru leaf and ask the same , the guru says ok sit on me i will make you cross the river. when both of you enter the water you go to some distance and both of you sink but, the guru was a leaf he was lighter than water(he was conscious but materialistic) he came up the water but you could't come up.

if you goto the third guru the guru wood and ask him to make you cross you the river. what he does is that he makes a small boat himself being a wood and asks you sit on him he has firmness in his nature as well as beauty. and both of you cross the wirlpool of life the river safely...

so beaware in searching a guru or believing any other jatadhari he might be a leaf or stone search for the wood guru, who has consciousness and bliss both at the same time, and who is capable of making you cross that wirlpool of life together :-)

!! AUM SHANTI !!

maha-mrytunjaya mantra for lord shiva

"O Omniscient Divinity, we adore you. O Lord full of excellent fragrance, you are the nourisher, the sustainer of all life. As the cucumber is freed from the stem, thus liberate us from death and grant us the nectar of Immortality."

‘AUM’ is a mystical syllable. It releases sounds that are inaudible to us but perceptible to the perfect inner Being within us. This syllable bears in itself the whole supreme divine Consciousness, that which has become manifest in the universe and which remains unrevealed and unmanifest.

‘AUM’ is indeed a revelation and expression of the divine Being, a true name of the Divine. It bears in itself body, heart and soul of the infinite Divinity.

The Equation of the States with the Syllable Om it is actualy AUM it has three alphabets - omkar, ukara, makara

1. When the identity of Visva with the letter a is meant, ie., when the identity of Visva with the letter a is admitted, the common feature of being the first is seen to be obvious, as also the common feature of all-pervasiveness.
2. In the event of Taijasa being apprehended as identical with u, ie, when the identity of taijasa with the letter u is admitted, the common feature of superiority is seen clearly and so, too, is the intermediate position.

3.In the even of Prajna being apprehended as identical with m, ie, when the identity of Prajna with the letter m is admitted, the common feature of being the measure is seen to be obvious and so too is the common feature of absorption.

He who knows conclusively the common similarities in the three states, becomes worthy of worship and adoration by all beings, and is also a great sage.

The letter a leads to Visva and the letter u to Taijasa. Again, the letter m (leads) to Prajna. For the one who is free from letters, there is no attainment.
Within the sound-body of ‘AUM’ there is a body of energy and when you say ‘AUM’, this energy purifies the atmosphere around you. Within this energy-body there is a light-body, and in this light-body there dwells the Consciousness of the Supreme Godhead.

Tryambakam represents three original vedas, originally ‘Tryambakam’ means three eyes. The supreme Divinity has three eyes. The third eye is the eye of Omniscience, the eye of infinite Knowledge, unending Knowledge, knowledge of the supreme Truth, knowledge of every kind. It is an overwhelming fullness of Knowledge, indescribable Knowledge, the fire of infinite Knowledge. It sees everything at the same time, knows everything at the same time.

‘Yajaamahe’ means, we meditate, we adore, we revere.

‘Sugandhim’ is composed of ‘su’ (good) and ‘gandha’ (fragrance, odour). ‘Sugandhim’ thus means that God is most precious fragrance, the Divine is full of excellent odours, full of the fragrance of unlimited Love, a love without distortion, a love free from egoism.

‘PuSTi vardhanam’ – This wondrous, omniscient Godhead nourishes and sustains all life-forms. There is no desire or need that cannot be satiated. The omniscient, all-merciful, all-compassionate Divinity immediately responds to every call of the devotee, increasing his inner and outer wealth, providing all necessities to sustain his life. God is your caretaker. He is the true sustainer. He alone nourishes all creation and all life, for they have their source in Him.

‘Urvaarukam-iva bandhanaan’ – As the cucumber is freed from its stem by plucking it when it is ripe...

‘MR^ityor-mukshiiya’ – ...thus, O Lord, deliver me from death, liberate me from all limitations, from all darkness and unhappiness. Death is not only physical death. Spiritual ignorance is death, lack of devotion and love is death.

To a person who has no eyes to perceive beauty the whole world is full of ugliness. To another person everything appears doubtful, because his thoughts, feelings and expressions are void of truth. The Divine who is the Truth of all truths is inaccessible to him. Like that there are all kinds of deaths. The god-lover asks the Divine to free him of all forms of deaths.

‘AmR^itaat’ – for immortality. ‘AmR^ita’ means immortality, deathlessness. God nourishes us with the nectar of immortality – He bestows on us health, strength and divine Qualities, divine Wisdom, eternal values that make us ripe for the Experience of God. Great patience, power of endurance, selflessness, purity and freedom from ego are essential preconditions for God-realisation. Such qualities are the nectar of immortality.

AUM tryambaka.n yajaamahe sugandhiM puSTivardhanam.h |
