Qn: I am an American and stayed in an Ashram in Madhya Pradesh, run by a disciple of Shivananda Saraswathi. I stayed in Ramanashram and underwent Buddhist meditation in Bombay under Goenka. I have not found peace. I wish to go back to USA, complete B.Sc and study Nature Cure. Is there any danger in pursuing Yoga?
Ans: Images appear in mirror of mind. Distinguish the unchanging in the changing,This basic identity — you may call God, or Brahman, or the matrix (Prakriti), the words matter little — is only the realization that all is one. Realize all is one. There is no sin, no guilt, no retribution, only life and transformations .
With the dissolution of " I ", personal suffering disappears. Compassionate awareness redeems and heals. Have clarity and charity in action. Repetition of God's name will stabilize your breath. With deep and quiet breathing, vitality will improve, which will influence the brain and help mind to grow pure and stable and fit for meditation. Posture and breathing are part of Yoga.
Body must be healthy and under control. The mind is primary. At rest, it no longer disturbs the inner space-Chidakash. Penance is meeting all vicissitudes of life. Share willingly and gladly. All happiness comes from pleasing the Self.
Solitude may make you dull or at the mercy of mind's endless chatter. Your mind is steeped in the habits of evaluation and acquisition and will not admit that the incomparable and unobtainable are waiting timelessly within your own heart.
All you have to do is to abandon all memories and expectations. Just keep yourself ready in utter nakedness and nothingness. God will do the abandoning. Don't hold on to the person. As long as you feel competent and confident, reality is beyond your reach.
Discover the center of your being, free of all directions. Be nothing, know nothing, have nothing. Earnestly live the truth as you have found it. It is the earnestness that will take you through, not cleverness-your own or another's. Live a clean, selfless life.
Don't cheat, don't hurt. You need inner peace which demands harmony between the inner and outer. Do what you believe in and believe in what you do. All else is waste of energy and time.
