the hidden meaning is the lord is taking out the cloth (attachment) and he says he is the supreme truth (सत्यं ज्ञानमनन्तं) and nothing can be hidden from him and he knows everything. He is infinite. And moreover everything in this universe belongs to him including all the humans, animals etc.

“But know that to be imperishable by which all this is pervaded. None can cause the destruction of That, the Inexhaustible” (Gita II-17).

ratitude can be valued and sought at four distinct levels of increasing depth

A positive emotion: Focusing on the good things in our life infuses us with positive emotions such as contentment and cheerfulness.

An appreciative disposition: Going beyond an occasional or circumstantial positive emotion, we seek a consistent disposition that looks toward the good in every situation.

An effective reminder: Going beyond merely changing our inner disposition, we base this disposition on curated perception of outer reality. We all need reminders that goodness still exists in the world. Why? Because the daily news — and especially the breaking news — usually highlights deceit, distress and destruction in the world. Moreover, though we all sometimes experience goodness through others’ acts of kindness, sometimes unsolicited kindness, that others have done to us, our mind gravitates toward the bad things that have happened to us. Remembering others’s goodness through gratitude can protect us from toxic cynicism.

A persuasive pointer: Reminders of the goodness in the world are great, but they become most potent when they point us to the greatest being, Krishna, who sources and sustains all of existence. The Bhagavad-gita (10.41) states that everything attractive manifests a spark of Krishna’s all-attractiveness. Applying this insight, we can infer that because good things in the world are attractive, such goodness manifests a drop of the oceanic goodness of God. Thus, if a family member or colleague or even stranger is kind to us in our moment of weakness, we see God’s kindness acting through them. This vision nourishes our devotion and powers us toward the One who alone can provide us enduring safety, meaning and fulfillment.

One-sentence summary:

Gratitude is not just a positive emotion or an appreciative disposition; it is also an effective reminder that goodness still exists in the world and a persuasive pointer to the goodness of the Divine who underlies and unifies existence.

Episodes of depression early in life are linked to memory loss later on, research finds.

People who experience depression and anxiety in their 20s, 30s and 40s tend to develop memory problems in their 50s

JURASSIC PARK

After the mind is rendered quiescent and becomes thoughtless, does it become difficult for an enlightened being to interact with people and talk in this world? Since interaction or answering questions requires the mind to create thoughts.

Immediately after enlightenment, yes it is next to impossible to interact and answer with the world as language and words belong to the mind and now he is rooted in no-mind or pure consciousness.

He has to learn to communicate from the scratch. Now the language and words he knew have different connotations for him.

Ideally, it takes years for him to recalibrate his mind and soul according to the world - for him the world is not the same as him.

It is the same as if someone travelled through different time zones and now sleep lag is there.

In short, enlightenment is brain surgery without opening the skull.

Kalavadins say that all this has time for its root. Time is everything. Time is God. Time indeed is the seed of the universe. It is time again that withdraws everything at its pleasure. But time is Jada. Time is a drop in eternity. Eternity is Brahman.

PURUSH X PRAKRITI

CONSC X NATR

exploring the ancient Indian systems of thought, the Hindu Sankhya philosophy as well as Jain beliefs and cosmology. In both traditions, life itself, ranging from microscopic life forms to everything else alive, is a magnificent blend of Consciousness (called Purusha) and Earth/Energy (called Prakriti, pronounced Pruk-ri-thi). Each of the two components really cannot function without the other. Makes sense, no? :) These traditions are about a couple of thousand years old; Jainism is likely over 2500 years old. Both indicate that there are INFINITE such life forms, and neither of them talk about a creator being. In that sense they are both ATHEISTIC! But the Yoga philosophy/tradition, adds a creator-manager being called Ishvara (Eesh-vara, Isha for short, Issa in Arabic). Is it coincidence that the ancient Greek name for Jesus was Iesous...so similar to Isha! NOT a coincidence! Gnostic Christianity was/is just amazing: a blend of Paganism/Hinduism as understood by Jewish mystics.

100 REBRTHS?

When one reaches 'nirvana' and end the reincarnation (rebirth) cycle, does that mean that one will cease to exist and no longer be able to experience life?

I am not a specialist on Eastern religions, but from what I learned doing past life regression sessions - it only takes about 100 lives to stop reincarnating in physical bodies, actually, you can drop out of the ‘Earth School” anytime if your soul is really repulsed by the negativity on Earth and continue to reincarnate on some nicer planet without all the violence and disease, or stay in the Spirit World and do not reincarnate. Stopping reincarnating does not mean enlightenment - you do not have to be fully enlightened to finish all your lessons, just wise and very experienced in human condition, and you can become a Spirit Guide helping other souls in their reincarnations, or you can pursue any other interest or occupation in the Spirit World, or go to any other planet or world. Some souls choose to unite with the Source and drop all individual boundaries - they do not stop “existing”, they expand their consciousness to the Source Level, and become ALL THAT IS, and this way they do not have any more boundaries or individuality. Eventually, they can “pop out” of the Source and go on another cycle, or just on a mission to help some planet in trouble.

By the way, achieving Nirvana while in physical incarnation does not guarantee that you will stop coming back as a human. Tibetan Buddhist lamas are all enlightened beings and they continue reincarnating, they are under the vow to stay in bodies till all beings are released from suffering. Many Ascended Masters incarnate in bodies when their help is needed. Even extraterrestrial beings’ souls who are not enrolled in the Earth School can incarnate in a human body - for a mission, not to learn any lessons though some find human existence amusing.

Incarnation is like blindfolding absolute Consciousness. Nirvana is taking off the blindfold, or if you like, the virtual reality headgear

Incarnation is consciouness expressing itself through form, which is what creation/universe is the reflection/expressing of the formless absolute consciouness

Hi Irina, According to Conversations with God by Neale Donald Walsch, as spirit beings, we know everything. We incarnate in this physical world to experience pain, suffering and fear.

"In the absence of that which You Are Not, that Which You Are, is NOT.

"In the absence of 'cold,' you cannot be 'warm.' In the absence of 'sad,' you cannot be 'happy,' without a thing called 'evil,' the experience you call 'good' cannot exist.

This is a typical C view that we are born to suffer and earn our place in Heaven. I do not agree with that, though some beings chose to suffer here as they came from higher dimensional planets and never experienced any suffering before.

What is Sadhuism? Sadhuism is to practise self-restraint and to live in God. What is Rishism? Rishism is to attain immortality through purity, selfless Service, cosmic love, devotion and meditation. What is Upanishadism? Upanishadism is to have the knowledge of the Self or the Brahman of the Upanishads through self-analysis, enquiry, hearing of the Srutis, reflection and meditation on the Self, which is self-luminous, all-pervading, indivisible, timeless, spaceless and deathless.

As a man who has devoted his whole life to the most clear headed science, to the study of matter, I can tell you as a result of my research about atoms this much: There is no matter as such. All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particle of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together. We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This mind is the matrix of all matter. ~ Max Planck

Manushyatva (human birth), Mumukshutva (keen yearning for liberation), Sat-sanga (company of sages), service of Guru, hearing of Srutis, reflection and constant, protracted and profound meditation are necessary for the attainment of salvation.

There are some Sattvic souls in these days but sages who have Brahmic experience are very rare. These Sattvic souls have no direct experience and they are mistaken for liberated sages. Even Sattvic aspirants who are treading the path of Truth, who possess virtuous qualities must be adored. Such aspirants also are very rare. Some Sattvic souls pose for Jivanmuktas. This is deplorable. Their disciples begin to worship them, gradually they get a downfall by becoming a slave to respect, honour and worship. Maya havocs in a variety of ways. It is very difficult to understand her ways and operations.

, Is It Time to Re-examine Our Paradigms of Consciousness?. Non-dual philosophers of the east and even Schopenhauer in the west, in my opinion have a far better understanding of the mind and how it works. We have based our understanding on flawed materialist assumptions which even physicists have questioned. Our scientists in other fields such as archeology are being challenged with the many finds that defy the establishment story of history. UFOs are now admitted to be real . It is time we divorce ourselves from the egocentric materialistic duality paradigms that are rooted in Greek misunderstandings and ciblical theology.
