As yoga enthusiasts many of us are on the lookout for a yoga course that can
help us explore the depths of yoga - from phi-losophy to practice. Sri Sri
Yoga Level 1 introduces us to the techniques of asana, pranayama, and
meditation; while Sri Sri Yoga Level 2 gives us an opportunity to go deeper
into the realm of yoga and understand what it means to live like a yogi!

Advanced yoga does not have to necessarily mean difficult yoga. Here we get
a thorough exploration of yoga postures, ancient yogic knowledge, breathing
and meditation in a gentle yet profound, celebrative and joyful retreat
setting.

There will be two Sri Sri Yoga Level 2 courses organized in Bad Antogast:
one at the end of September in the presence of Sri Sri Ravi Shankar (Sri Sri
will be present 2 days) - 26th Sept. (7:00 pm) to 30th Sept. (6 pm) and
another one at the very end of October and the beginning of November - 31st
Oct. (7:00 pm) to 4th Nov. (6 pm)

Prerequisites: 1) Art of Breathing (Part 1) Course or the YES!+ Course 2)
Sri Sri Yoga Level 1

Registration and more information at https://secure2.artofliving.org/courses

Why should anyone do the Art of Living course?

First, it has brought a positive change in the lives of millions, accross
countries, religions, socioeconomic class, etc...aren't you curious to know
how your life can change??

Second, we do not come with a manual. Existence is a Fact; Living, an
Art...Learning the Art of Living will certainly help live a fulfilling life.

Third, by practising the breathing exercises taught in the course, you will
be healthier...Those who don't make time for exercise will eventually have
to make time for illness...beathing exercises taught in the Art of Living
work wonders...it's proven.

Fourth, your approach to life will be better...more enthusiasm, joy,
improved relationships, better ability to handle stress, say over your
emotions, etc...you can handle your mind using your breath...The mind is a
wonderful servant, but a terrible master



What do you want in life? Why should you not do the course or postpone doing
it?
Can there be anything more important than a life transformation?

"Investing in yourself is the best investment you will ever make. it will
not only improve your life, it will improve the lives of all those around
you."

Subject: Sri Sri Yoga Intensive Workshop in Munich

Intensive Sri Sri Yoga Workshop

The Sri Sri Yoga workshop is ideal for beginners and intermediate level yoga
practitioners. In addition to Hatha Yoga postures that help strengthen
muscles and tone the body, the workshop teaches several advanced breathing
techniques and meditations that help relax the mind and enhance mental focus
and clarity. Introductory knowledge and experiential exercises relating to
various paths of yoga and associated systems are also given (including
Ayurveda, the Chakra system etc.). Most importantly, its a whole lot of fun!
(More details below)


DETAILS:

DATE: 29 August-2 September, 2012 (Wednesday-Sunday) - (+ free follow up
session on September 5th from 7pm to 8:30pm)

TIME: 6:30pm to 9:30pm on Wed, Thu & Fri and 10:00am to 1:00pm on Saturday
and Sunday

COURSE FEE: Eur. 150 (Regular); Eur. 120 (Students);
Repeaters: Eur. 75

REGISTRATION:
To Register and for further information, contact Nalini @ 015140369141 or
email munich@artofliving.de

NOTE:
Course graduates get discounts on weekly follow up yoga classes and other
events at the Art of Living Yoga Oasis.


A little bit more about Sri Sri Yoga:

On a physical level, Yogic exercises strengthen, lengthen and replenish
muscle tissues, all of which helps bone support and helps to shape the whole
body. Holding postures also burns fat and reduces cholesterol. Yogic
breathing, in turn, brings more oxygen to the heart and nourishes the whole
system. However, Yoga's greatest benefits are felt in the mind. We all know
that peace of mind is more valuable than even the most attractive figure (!)
Even though the practice of Yoga will defiantly improve one's physical
appearance, the radiance of a Yogi's smile and shining eyes are really the
best rewards.

Kindly pass on theinformation to all so that everybody will get an opportunity to attend the Maha-Satsang.

We have made specialarrangements by way of separate enclosure for teachers and their family members.We request all teachers to come with their teachers ID card. Security has beeninstructed to admit only teachers and their family members only if the teacheris with their family and is carrying on the ID card.

We are making a ferventappeal to all teachers to ensure that some of the chaos which has happened inthe past and specially at the airport is not repeated at this visit. We do wishthat Gurudev should be reluctant to come to Mumbai in view of the chaos andlack of discipline on our part. Please also pass on this message with fullseriousness to all your students and other devotees.

Subject: Next Pre TTC dates for Delhi NCR: 22nd, 23rd & 29th, 30th Sept 2012

My dear Teachers and "Aspiring Teachers"

Finally the wait is over!!!! With Blessings of Poojya Gurudev, we are set to launch the second Pre TTC for Delhi NCR.

To become a teacher, one will have to successfully complete the following:

1. Pre TTC in Delhi NCR
2. Post Pre TTC Seva
3. 15 days TTC in Blr ashram

Pre TTC is a unique one week process designed by Gurudev & we are fortunate enough to start the process of 2nd Pre TTC, so that Delhi NCR participants can become teachers with 15-day TTC only. There are limited seats for the Pre TTC & main TTC also(There will be a state-wise quota allocated by the Ashram and we will only be able to send that many people for TTC)

Dates for Pre TTC:

First Weekend 22nd Sep 2012 (Saturday) & 23rd Sep 2012 (Sunday)
Second Weekend 29th Sep 2012 (Saturday) & 30th Sep 2012 (Sunday)

In between these two weekends, through the five working days 24th Sep to 28th Sep (Monday-Friday), the candidates will need to complete specified Seva Activities, as an integral part of the Pre TTC training.

On the last day of the Pre-TTC, there would be a first level evaluation of the Candidates by the Pre-TTC Teachers, conducting the Course. And based on this evaluation, the selected candidates will compulsorily be required to complete the specified and time-bound interim Seva Projects and report the same in a specified format. The minimal time allotted for this will be one month and the maximum six months. Following this, the interim Seva Report would need to be submitted by the candidate to the Delhi NCR TTC Desk. The same will undergo a second-level evaluation and in accordance, the recommendation for the TTC will be sent to the TTC Desk.

The purpose is to have aspiring teachers groomed and supported in the best manner through experienced teachers. The candidates who have successfully undergone the Pre-TTC Course and completed the interim sewa also, shall be eligible depending upon seats available for 15-day TTC at Banglore from 11th Dec 2012 to 25th Dec 2012.

Eligibility criteria for Pre TTC candidates to apply:


a. Completed at least one year with the Art of Living after the Part 1 or
YES!+ Course

b. Two Advance Meditation Courses (1 preferably with Guruji)

c. One Sri Sri Yoga Course (level 1)

d. Sahaj Meditation Course

The application form for Pre-TTC to be filled by candidates is attached & shall be submitted complete in all respect to their recommending teachers in Soft copy by 31st Aug, 2012 (Friday evening).

The recommending teachers & respective AC's should fill recommendation form in Soft copy and email to delhincrttcdesk@gmail.com by 5th Sep 2012. All AC's should also compile the applicant data of their area in specified format.

The venue & Fee for Pre TTC will be informed later on.

The recommended form to be filled by Teachers & AC's will be send in other email separately.

Please call Rajendra Singh 9818756760 in case you have queries.

Subject: GOD Comes in MANY Forms

GOD COMES IN MANY FORMS

Every evening, a religious family sat down to dinner and said prayers over
the food. The father concluded the prayer by asking that God come to the
table as a guest of the family and bless their food. Each night the father
closed the prayer with the same words before they could start their dinner.
The young son listened attentively to this prayer every night.

One day, the young boy asked his father, "Why do you keep asking God to come
every night, when God never comes?"

The father had no reply, but managed to say, "Well, son, we will just keep
waiting. I am sure that God hears our invitation each night."

The son said, "Well, father, if you really expect God to come for dinner,
how is it that you never even set a place for the Lord at the table? If you
really want God to come, then we should set a place for the Lord."


The father was embarrassed by the boy's keen observation and questions. To
put a stop to his questions, the father set a place at the table for God. He
put down fine silverware, a plate, a napkin, and a glass. As soon as he had
finished setting the table, there was a knock on their door. The boy was
excited thinking that God would now come.

When he opened the door, he found a small young homeless boy standing at the
door. He was shivering because it was freezing outside. The son was at first
shocked because he expected to see God. But then he thought for a moment and
said, "I guess God could not come today so God sent this boy instead in
God's place. Come on in." And he sat the boy at God's empty place at THe
dinner table.

This anecdote is a reminder that we never know in what form God will come to
us. Many only want to serve God directly. We do not realize that it is also
God's work to serve God's creation. Each day, life presents us with
opportunities to help others. When we help others, we are helping God's
children. All are a part of God. When we turn away someone, we are turning
away one of God's children. How can we expect God to be pleased with us when
we do not help one of God's creations?



Saints and Masters are models of selfless service. They sacrifice their
lives for others. Time and again they stop what they are doing to tend to
the needs of others. They are an active part of their communities, providing
help to whoever comes to them.


Spirituality is not running away from helping others. It is being sensitive
and attuned to the needs of others. As the great poet-saint Sant Darshan
Singh Ji Maharaj has said:

We are communing with the moon and the stars, But have not reached the heart
of our neighbor.

While we try to progress spiritually through our meditation, we should start
expanding our hearts to include all creation as one family. We will find
that without wanting anything in return for ourselves, we will begin to
serve from our own hearts. When we do so, we will find that we truly earn
God's pleasure.

Subject: Great strength comes to you when you sacrifice

Great strength comes to you when you sacrifice

June 11, 2012

(Below is the transcript of Satsang with Sri Sri Ravi Shankar)

Bangalore, India

What do we get upset with? We don't get upset with the birds, or the clouds,
or with Nature. We don't get upset with the environment. So, what do we get
upset with? We get upset with the people around us. Our enemies upset us and
our friends upset us as well. Our mind gets stuck either in our friends or
in our enemies. We either think about our friends or we think about our
enemies the entire day.

People become our enemies even when we have not done any wrong to them. Many
people have had this experience. We don't do any wrong to them; neither do
we misbehave with them and still they become our enemies. This is very
surprising! We think, 'Oh! Why has he become my enemy? Until yesterday he
was my friend.'
In the same way, we do not do any special favours for some people, yet they
become our close friends. That is why I tell you, this is some astonishing
and mysterious Karma - how some people become our enemies and some our
friends.
So what should we do? We should place both our friends and enemies in one
basket, and just become empty from within; be joyful. All these happenings
(people becoming friends and enemies) run by some law and we don't know how
and where it comes from. We just can't say when someone's feelings towards
us will change and whether it will be in our favour or not in our favour. We
just can't say. That is why we should place absolute faith on our Self, on
God, and not on friendship and enmity. We should not waste our time thinking
about friends and enemies.
What do you all think?

This does not mean you distance yourself from your friends, or that you stop
making new friends. That is not what I am saying. Friendliness should be in
our nature; love should be in our very nature. We are love after all! When
someone comes and sits beside us, we do smile at them and exchange a few
words. This does not mean you think, 'Anyways, who is a friend or who is an
enemy, there is nothing to share with anyone', and you walk around with a
gloomy face being angry with everyone - this is not a sign of wisdom. This
is ignorance and foolishness. We must interact with everyone around us and
at the same time be centered from within. Do you understand?
When we are centered, then we will not feel sad, angry or possessive. Then
we will not have disappointment of any kind. Otherwise many times what
happens, we become sad - 'Oh! Look, I made him such a good friend and today
he does not even talk to me. I did so many favours for him and he has turned
against me!'
By thinking all these thoughts we waste the time we have in the present. We
should not do this, Okay!

Life is short. And in this short life time do some good deeds! We need to
have Tyaag budhhi (An intelligence capable of sacrifice; letting go.)
Sacrifice gives us great strength. Nothing else can give you the kind of
strength that sacrifice does. Great strength comes to you when you
sacrifice. And everyone makes some kind of sacrifice, in some way or the
other - either big or small. There is not a single person in the world who
does not sacrifice something or another. One has to sacrifice something.
Where there is love, there is bound to be some sacrifice. A mother
sacrifices her comforts out of love for her child. Every mother stays awake
at night and sleeps less when her baby is small. All her attention is on her
child - day and night. She forgets all her comforts for her children.

We should place both our friends and enemies in one basket, and just become
empty from within; be joyful. All these happenings (people becoming friends
and enemies) run by some law and we don't know how and where it comes from.
We just can't say when someone's feelings towards us will change and whether
it will be in our favour or not in our favour. We just can't say. That is
why we should place absolute faith on our Self, on God, and not on
friendship and enmity. We should not waste our time thinking about friends
and enemies. In the same way, there are people who like to sacrifice for the
society. Isn't it?
Like a father works hard to earn for the entire household. Otherwise why
should he strive and work so hard? For what? He does not do it only for
himself. He sacrifices his own comforts for the comfort of his family. Isn't
it? A single person doesn't need to strive so hard for himself, after all
what are the needs of a single person? He just needs a place to live and
some food to eat. A little bit would be sufficient to take care of these
needs, for that one does not have to work very hard. And if he is an
intelligent person, he will be happy and content with a little. But one has
to work hard to fulfil the responsibilities towards one's family and the
society.
So every person does some sacrifice. And greater the sacrifices one makes,
greater is the strength that comes to him. Some people are ready to
sacrifice their comforts and luxuries, some are willing to sacrifice their
wealth, some are willing to sacrifice their relationships, and some are
willing to sacrifice their self-esteem and the respect they enjoy in
society. And if you look on the opposite side, some people cannot sacrifice
or let go of their self-esteem and respect in society. If someone insults
them they become so disturbed and upset that they collapse. That is their
weakness.
We must observe all this.

So, a person who makes great sacrifices attains great strength.
If a person has nothing to sacrifice, and says that I have sacrificed
everything - that too is not correct. Despite having everything and
fulfilling all duties and responsibilities, a person should have the sense
of sacrifice in his mind (Tyaag Buddhi). That is the best.
See, a saint can always say, 'I have nothing, not even a hut for myself. I
have made such a great sacrifice.' But I do not consider that as sacrifice
because he has no duties or responsibilities to fulfil. But on the other
hand, one who has to manage the responsibilities of a huge Ashram and run
such a large organization with so many people; and yet does all that with a
sense of sacrifice and detachment then that is the supreme way of all. This
is the way of Lord Krishna.
Arjun said to Lord Krishna, 'I am leaving everything and going to the
Himalayas. I do not wish to do battle against my dear ones and neither do I
want to enjoy the luxuries of the royal life. Why should I do all this?
Krishna, why do you force me to go to battle? Let me go. I want to go to the
Himalayas' Then Lord Krishna said, 'No, you should not do that. You must not
abandon your Dharma (duty), rather you must detach yourself from the fruits
of your action.'

Do everything. Fulfil all your duties and responsibilities and still stay
detached with a sense of sacrifice. Take the responsibility of the
leadership of the country and still have a sense of detachment and sacrifice
in your mind.

Saint Kabir sang a beautiful verse which said,'Krodh na choda Jhooth na
choda, Krodh na choda Jhooth na choda, Satya vachan kyo chod diya tune, Naam
japan kyo chod diya'
(You have not given up telling lies, nor your ange. Then why have you given
up speaking the truth and righteous words; Why have you given up chanting
the name of the Lord!)

One should only give up japa (chanting) when the consciousness completely
ripens with the chanting of His name. From Japa you should progress towards
Ajapa (practice of japa without the mental effort normally needed to repeat
the mantra). But if you leave japa beforehand, then that is wrong. For
example, you board a bus from one station and depending on where you want to
go, you get off the bus at that station. Now you can't say, 'Why board the
bus when I anyway have to get off from it.' Some people think like this.
They do not understand that where you board the bus from and where you get
off the bus are two different spots. You get on at one place and you get off
at another place. Similarly, your state of consciousness before chanting and
your state of consciousness after chanting is different. So, the flow of
life should always move in this direction.

So, sacrifice is important. Without sacrifice, one's mind becomes so heavy.
A person who is detached and has a sense of sacrifice does not get carried
away by any amount of praise given to him. Such praises do not enter his
mind. A Gyaani (knowledgeable one), Tyaagi (one who is detached and has a
sense of sacrifice) and Bhakt (devotee) do not get disturbed or carried away
by praise and admiration. Otherwise, the same praise and admiration becomes
a burden to one who is not detached and who does not have a sense of
sacrifice. Love and admiration too can become a burden. And when that
happens, they try to unburden themselves by running away from it. Many love
marriages have fallen apart because of this only. One partner expresses so
much love towards the other, and the other is not able to handle it. The
other person then feels like running away. And they do run away! How many
people have seen this happen? (Many raise their hands)

Many people come to me and say, 'I am in love with this person. Yet
whomsoever I love, they run away from me.' I tell them, 'Oh! Don't express
so much love day and night that they get bored and irritated with it.'
In countries abroad that is what they do. One goes running after the other
saying, 'Honey, Honey', all the time. And then what happens? They suffer
from diabetes!
Every now and then they will say, 'Honey, Honey', and then one fine day they
get fed up and say, 'I can't stand you.' One should not go overboard in
expressing their love.
In India, it is the opposite. The people never used to express love. If you
would go to the Indian villages, you will find that they don't express love
at all. They keep it in their hearts but they don't express it. And abroad
they express it so much that love just vanishes! It just doesn't stay.
Love should be planted like a seed. If you sow the seed too deep into the
earth, then it won't sprout. If you plant a seed ten feet deep into the
ground, it will die. This is the situation in the villages in India. There
are couples who spend their entire lifetime staying together, yet they never
express their love for each other. And the situation is exactly opposite in
the cities and abroad. There they keep on saying, 'I love you', every now
and then and because of this, love fails. Then the relationship becomes
formal, like saying 'Sorry' or 'Thank You'.
Someone just simply offers you a glass of water and you say, 'Thank you so
much!' What is the point of saying thank you so much? The glass was on the
table and they picked it up and gave it to you and you say, 'Thank you so
much.'
Yes, had you been in a desert for three days without water and then someone
came and gave you a glass of water and you said, 'Thank you so much', then
there can be some honesty in that.
We are so formal in our own house. If someone in the house offers us a glass
of water or something to eat, and we say, 'Thank you so much!' then there is
no meaning in that Our words should aim to honestly express the depth of the
feeling. Words cannot completely express the depth of feelings, but feelings
needs to be wrapped with the precise words and then expressed. Otherwise, it
is very difficult to convey one's true feelings. That is why the words we
use are important, and this is how language should be put to use.

In Kannada, there is a very beautiful verse which says, 'When you speak,
your words should be like a necklace of beautiful pearls. It should be pure
like the white pearl, it should shine like a diamond, and it should be
transparent like a crystal. And the effect of your speech should be such
that even Lord Shiva should nod his head in agreement.'
Lord Shiva is generally very calm and quiet. But your speech should be such
that even Lord Shiva should nod and say, 'Yes, that is true! That is
correct.'
Your speech should appeal even to Lord Shiva.

Q: Q: Guruji, if love resides at the level of chetna (consciousness) alone;
then what is the need of relationships?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Consciousness expresses itself through the person. And
relationships happen among different persons. If you do not feel the need
for any relationship, then you cannot establish any relationship by force.
The fact that you are asking a question about the need for relationships
means you feel the need for relationships somewhere. Otherwise the question
would not have arisen in the first place. You are struggling with yourself
and feel the need for relationships, yet your ego comes in between and you
feel, 'Oh I don't need any relationships.' Or you are not sure whether you
need or do not need relationships. That is why I say that whether
relationships stand or fade away, you should not get affected. You just
relax within your Self. When you meditate, keep everything aside and just
repose in your Self. And while dealing or interacting with others in the
world, form good relationships with them all.

Q: Guruji, how to save oneself from attraction?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: The very thought of saving oneself from attraction
itself applies the brakes on it. Understand it this way. It is good. There
should be brakes in a car; otherwise you will land up in trouble someday,
okay. And have a firm belief that life is full of love. We cannot make an
effort to increase love, but the moment you become stress free, love
manifests itself within us. Two things need to be there for this - freedom
from stress, and relaxation.

Q: Guruji, sometimes I wish that when I answer the doorbell I see you
standing outside my door. I wish that when my phone rings it is you calling
and I hear your voice. For someone who does sadhna regularly, everything is
possible. So shall I wait for my wish to come true?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Yes, absolutely. I will tell you something. One day, I
left the Ashram and only one person accompanied me. We just left quietly and
nobody knew where we went. So, we drove to a faraway village. On the way I
asked the driver to stop the car outside a small house. I went inside the
house and there was a man sitting inside. The man was a simple farmer, who
had just a small farm to himself. He had a small television on which he had
watched my programme. And after watching that programme, he had such an
intense desire to meet me. He would think, 'How do I meet Guruji? I can't
afford to travel to Bangalore. I have to meet Guruji some way or the other.'
And I went and stood at the door of his very house! He got such a shock. He
fell on his knees and started crying. He was a simple farmer; he only grew
tomatoes in his farm. His farm was less than half an acre in area. He had a
small family. Similarly, one day I went to this one school and I took
classes for both the teachers and students there. For about one to two hours
I spoke to them. They all got so excited and filled with enthusiasm. It was
a small school in a village, and the teachers were all looking so serious.
So I spoke to them, encouraged them a little and they all started smiling.
This is what knowledge does. Listening to knowledge and implementing it in
one's life automatically brings enthusiasm and joy. So anything is possible
at any time! Once Kishor Da and I were travelling to Arunachal Pradesh from
Assam. As we crossed a village in Assam, I asked the car to stop outside one
house. I went inside the house with Kishore Da and I asked him to pay Rs.
700 to the lady who was in the house. That lady's husband was to undergo
some operation for which she had to pay Rs. 2100, but she had only Rs. 1400
with herself. She didn't have enough money for the operation. So she was
sitting in her temple, praying and asking God for money. She had a small
temple with pictures of Kali Maa (a form of Goddess Durga) and Sri
Ramakrishna Paramhamsa. So she was sitting before them praying and asking
God for money. She got the money that she needed. I also met her and spent
some time with her. What I am saying is - this entire Universe is created
and driven by One power. It is made up of the One Tattva (substance). I am
made up of that same substance and you are also made up of the same
substance. So whomever you bow down to, or pray to, it reaches the same
source. Now that lady did not know me, and this incident happened around 20
years ago. We were just four to five people in the car at that time. When we
met that lady, we could see that she was so strong and deep in her devotion.
So when we call upon the Divine with a true heart, everything we wish for
starts to happen. This must have happened with so many of you. Has it not?
So many miracles have happened in so many people's lives. See! It has
happened with everyone here (pointing to the audience). This is not
surprising. It keeps happening; it is not a big thing. If it doesn't happen,
then that is something surprising. If a miracle doesn't happen sometime then
it is wonder actually! Yes, some miracles happen instantly and some take
time.

Q: Guruji, you said that sacrifice brings great strength to a person. But
doesn't one need inner strength in order to be able to sacrifice?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Yes, sacrifice brings great strength. And the inner
strength needed to be able to make sacrifices comes from knowledge.
Ignorance cannot give you the strength to sacrifice. That can come only
through knowledge. Just observe this. You heard this knowledge point a while
ago and found strength and courage. Isn't that so? This happens immediately,
almost instantaneously.

Q: Gurudev, there have been a lot of changes in our area through the YLTP
programme. What is the aim of this movement? What mission or aim should I
keep in my work as a Yuvacharya (youth leader)?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: : Shreyas (one's own progress) and Preyas (progress of
others in the society). Your own progress and the progress of society, both
have to happen together. They cannot happen one after the other. They have
to happen together. That is the aim of the YLTP. You should give one year or
one and a half year of your life for the country. Then you will find that
your progress happens even more! The higher we want to build a building, the
deeper we will have to dig to lay its foundation. The higher the position
you aspire to reach in life, the greater will be the sacrifices you will
have to make. Sitting idle and relaxing will not bring you to the top. You
will have to put in some hard work. And that hard work will surely yield
fruits.

*************************

From: Ram Kumar <rkiyer2000@yahoo.com>
Date: Tue, Aug 7, 2012 at 9:43 PM
Subject: KEEPING A SECRET

What should you keep a secret and what should you confess? Find out with SRI
SRI RAVI SHANKAR

Meditation is the journey from sound to silence, from movement to stillness,
from a limited identity to unlimited space. There are five ways through
which meditation happens.


1.Physical manipulation: Yoga, Tai Chi, all these come under that. By
stretching and contracting the body, the mind experiences a state of
awareness that you can call meditation.
2.Breathing exercises and pranayama: The mind becomes quiet and still.
3.Through the five senses and sensory objects: You can experience a state of
no-mind, no thought, calmness, serenity and inner beauty.
4.Watch empty space: On a free day, just lie down and keep looking at the
sky; a moment comes when the mind becomes still, there are no thoughts and
you don't know where you are, but you know who you are. Experience the
centre everywhere and circumference nowhere. Limitless awareness can happen
by just watching an empty space, because our mind is also space;
consciousness is space.
5.Intellectual stimulation: Through knowledge and awareness, you can go into
meditation. This is called Jnana yoga.



If you have been into a space museum, you are in a different state of
consciousness when you come out of the museum. There is a different context,
because you have seen yourself in the context of the universe. Who are you?
What are you? Where are you? How are you in reference to the unfathomable,
infinite universe?



If you have studied Quantum Physics, you start to see that everything is
just atoms, just a wave function, just energy. If you really listen to
Quantum Physics and then you study Vedanta or the art of meditation or yoga,
you will find striking similarities. You will find that the same language is
being spoken.



Adi Shankara said, 'All that you see doesn't exist'. Eminent scientist
Hans-Peter Durr said, "I studied matter for the last 35 years, only to find
out that it does not exist! I have been studying something that does not
exist". So, through knowledge also you can experience a state of meditation.



What is the secret of meditation? There is a difference in the Orient and in
the Occident when it comes to secrets. In the Occident, anything that is
shameful is kept a secret. In the Orient, anything that is sacred is kept a
secret. I find a startling difference between the two.



If you say something is very secret, it must be very sacred. That is the
attitude in the Orient. In the Orient, a shameful act is never kept a
secret; it is always confessed. There is nothing to hide there. But what is
to be secret is one's mantra - a sound which is kept very secret in the
mind.



Why is it kept secret? It is said that mantras are like seeds and seeds
sprout in secrecy. You put the seed under the ground and cover it with mud
and then the seed sprouts and becomes a tree. Of course, the sprouts you eat
are different. The ancient concept of mantra is a sound which is kept very
secret in you; itgrows from inside; means it resonates inside you. Anything
that you keep to yourself as a secret does not leave you, but it takes you
deeper and deeper to subconscious layers. That is one of the reasons for
confession also.

Sound Mantra
Why do you confess and say something out? This is so that it does not go
deep into your consciousness. A mistake or sin that you committed, once you
confess, it just goes out. It no longer stays in and bothers you. But the
mantra; a sound which has been given, and that too by one who is deep into
meditation, one who has mastered it, helps you go deeper. The sound (mantra)
is given to another person, a student saying, 'Keep it to yourself, it is
your personal mantra, and let it grow.'


Here, the meaning of the sound is not important, just the vibration is.
Understanding the meaning is superficial compared to the vibrational aspect
of any sound. It could be the same sound which everybody knows.

A child's mind is always focused on something and it sticks there. But as
the hormones in our body start functioning more and more, the mind starts
swinging and wavering, and that focused attention becomes less and less. In
earlier days, before this happened, before someone gets into their teenage,
they used to train him in yoga and meditation. So, all through the teenage
years when the mind is swinging and going here and there, already a youth is
trained how to handle the mind. It is a very good age to start, at eight or
nine years. Just before the hormonal changes start appearing is the right
time to initiate one into meditation, yoga and all the martial arts. The
body is ready and is flexible and mind is ready. This is most ideal, but any
time is good to start meditation, any age is okay.
