subtle and mysterious power...

In kenopanishad, the Guru tells the shishya , that which the eyes cannot see but because of which the eyes see. ..

*****

Inward Journey is an effort to know the Source from which the power to see, hear, think etc comes....

*****
Once Chinmayanandji was trying his best to convey what was that subtle and mysterious power,....He tried his best but we were not getting it. Then he said , "Forget about the grammar, WHEN THE LAST THOUGHT WAS THOUGHTED....." That moment it struck us...

**********

Best way to control the mind is by controlling the palate...

*******

Papa---chillies and salt were totally eschewed. No salt but for Ram

*******

Each one is unique.. The energy is expended through the five sense organs. Only when the outgoing energy is properly harnessed, we can take the mind inward...

*********

Kicks and knocks of the severest type helps us go within...

**********

Instrumental cause will be there...In Papa's case, it was losing job successively, In Mataji's case it was losing husband in her 20th year..

These are instrumental causes 

*******

What is needed is connecting with the Ideal..



Linking ourselves with the Ideal is v v important.  Initiation is the  commitment on our part to connect ourselves with Him..

******

Papa was not reading the way we do,.,. in his case, reading was creating electric atmosphere... Electric atmosphere means to feel thrilled.  When will it happen..Only when we become One with the theme...

******

Why we are not progressing....

Because we are not cornered, because we are not linking ourselves with the ideal, we are not developing subservience to His will, we are not having continuous remembrance through chanting, we are not keeping our mind filled with revelations of the Masters....

*****

Sense of possession and relationship was vanishing....

******

craving for possession----craving for indulgence----these occupy the mind space.

*******

We must be choosy about satsang media..otherwise it becomes an intellectual exercise..
