SANDHINI, SAMVIT & HLADINI
Mad. 8.155
anandamse hladini sad-amse sandhini
cid-amse samvit yare jnana kari mani
Translation:
Hladini is His aspect of bliss; sandhini, of eternal existence; and samvit, of cognizance, which is also accepted as knowledge.
Mad. 8.156
hladini sandhini samvit
tvayy eka sarva-samsraye
hlada-tapa-kari misra
tvayi no guna-varjite
Translation:
"'My dear Lord, You are the transcendental reservoir of all transcendental qualities. Your pleasure potency, existence potency and knowledge potency are actually all one spiritual internal potency. The conditioned soul, although actually spiritual, experiences sometimes pleasure, sometimes pain and sometimes a mixture of pain and pleasure. This is due to his being touched by matter. However, because You are above all material qualities, these are not found in You. Your superior spiritual potency is completely transcendental and for You there is no such thing as relative pleasure, pleasure mixed with pain, or pain itself.'
Purport:
This is a quotation from the Visnu Purana (1.12.69)
Adi. 4.62/63
10.13.57
Purport:
There is unity in variety. Thus yogamaya and mahamaya are among the varied individual parts of the same one potency, and all of these individual potencies work in their own varied ways. The samvit, sandhini and hladini potencies - Krsna's potency for existence, His potency for knowledge and His potency for pleasure - are distinct from yogamaya. Each is an individual potency. The ahladini potency is Radharani. As Svarupa Damodara Gosvami has explained, radha krsna-pranaya-vikrtir hladini saktir asmat (Cc. Adi 1.5). The ahladini-sakti is manifested as Radharani, but Krsna and Radharani are the same, although one is potent and the other is potency.
Why meditate? Thoughts come and thoughts go. This is the nature of the mind. In meditation we observe and allow the flow of thoughts to simply pass through without judgment, without identifying with them. Like leaves falling off a tree, gently let the thoughts fall away. Gradually with this practice the mental chatter calms down and one ascends into the experience of stillness, timelessness and peace.

Why are you unhappy?
Because 99.9 percent, Of everything you think,
And of everything you do, Is for yourself - And there isn’t one.

"Rules of living: Don't worry, eat three square meals a day, say your prayers, be courteous to your creditors, keep your digestion good, steer clear of biliousness, exercise, go slow and go easy. Maybe there are other things that your special case requires to make you happy, but, my friend, these, I reckon, will give you a good life."
