Definitely, I think it's much more acceptable, the idea of meditation or yoga. The idea of God trying to contact the soul within ourselves. Back in the 60s it was a bit like, you know , the hippies or the philosophers were the only people.
We are all one, I mean communication, just the realisation of human love reciprocated, it's such a gas, it's a good vibration which makes you feel good. These vibrations that you get through Yoga, Cosmic chants and things like that. I mean it's such a buzz, it buzzes you out of everywhere. It's nothing to do with pills or anything like that. It's just in your own head, the realisation, it's such a buzz, it buzzes you right into the astral plane.
Through Yoga, anybody can attain; it's a God realisation; you just practise Yoga and if you really mean it, then you'll do it. There's Yogis that have done it to such a degree that they're God, they're like Christ and they can walk on the water and materialise bodies and they can do all those tricks.
I hate yoga so much. Like, if yoga was a person, I'd stab them.
A lot of people trash their subtle physical body with psychedelic drugs. While they do certainly give you experiences in altered levels of attention, you pay a price for it. They definitely screw up the subtle physical. Hatha Yoga can be good for that.
If we have a giant mansion and we don't keep it as well as that room, then our yoga isn't good and our attention field will be very poor and we won't have power, and we'll be totally hooked on the transient .
You human beings think that yoga is in some way going to make everything you want to happen, work out. You are going to be able to avoid what you don't want. That is not yoga. That is desire and aversion.
Enlightenment is represented by Sri Krishna, who is said to be an avatar.
Suddenly they have to face each other down - you've got to kill your friends.
It's always said that when one is a soldier who dies in battle, you go to a very high world. There's a great and good karma for the soldier who dies in battle because it's an extended selfless giving.
The soldier is willing to give their life, perhaps for someone they never even met in their country. That's a very high love.
In the soldier we see the love of country. When you are willing to go onto a battlefield and give your life to defend an ideal ... knowing that you may not live through day.
If we think of Albert Schweitzer, Ghandi, Lincoln, we feel that the people who were the most outstanding in the this world are those who have given the most of themselves.
There are persons who elected to give their existence to God. They are happy, happy in their self-giving.
As you pass through this life, have you done all that you really wish to for others?
Selfless giving involves time. It takes a bit of time to care and share yourself with the universe.
It's better to do something, even if you're attached to the results.
Granted, in order to give selflessly, one often starts giving selfishly. As Tiresias said to Odysseus: "Honey ... you don't get through hell in a hurry"
We could be unhappy and discouraged for ourselves, but we're trying to be in a high vibratory state so we can be of service to others.
If you are unhappy - be that way in your bedroom - but whenever you come out into the world, in real selfless giving we push all of that aside and we smile, love and give to others.
You could go outside today and have a glum face, or you could put a smile on your face and go out into the world, even though you don't feel like it - that's selfless giving!
Selfless giving is being nice and there are times we don't want to be.
Selfless giving does not imply superiority. Selfless giving is about love.
If, when you give to someone you think you're better than they are because your practing selfless giving, you're not loving.
When you do something "selflish" you'll feel constricted and restricted. You won't be happy.
