A . CARDINAL NOTES ON GURU-BHAKTI  :- 3- 13 to 19

Chapter VIII

A . CARDINAL NOTES ON GURU-BHAKTI  :-3- 13 to 19

A-3. Source of Higher Knowledge - 13 to 19.
--------------------------------------


13. The higher knowledge which comes from Chit, comes not in the form of ideas or thoughts but as power. It has to be directly transmitted by the Guru (who is one with Chit-Shakti) to the disciple. 

14. God-realisation cannot be attained through mere self-effort. The Guru’s grace is absolutely necessary. 

15. When the disciple is fit for higher initiation, the Guru will himself initiate him in the mysteries of Yoga. 

16. Faith in Guru can move mountains. Guru’s Grace can work wonders. Doubt not. March on. O Hero! 

17. He who serves a great spiritual man who is one with the absolute can cross the quagmire of Samsara. 

18. If you serve worldly-minded people you get qualities of worldly people. On the other hand if you serve the Lotus-Feet of Guru who is always immersed in bliss, who is abode of virtues, who is love personified, you get the qualities of him. So serve, serve, serve. 

19. Disciple should not feel shy or below dignity to serve his Guru (in front of others). 

Next : A-4. Principles of Action -20 to 42.

To be continued ..
Thank you for reading

Chapter 18. The Power Of Thought-14.2. 14. Clear Thinking-how It Is Accomplished-2 The images are not clear, strong and well-defined. You will have to reinforce them by clear, continuous and deep thinking. Through Vichara (ratiocination), Manana (deep reflection) and meditation, you will have to make the thoughts settle down and crystallize into a definite shape. Then the philosophical idea will become firm. Through right-thinking, reasoning, introspection and meditation, you will have to clarify your ideas. Then confusion will vanish. The thoughts will get settled and well-grounded. Think clearly. Clarify your ideas again and again. Introspect in solitude. Purify your thoughts to a considerable degree. Silence the thoughts. Do not allow the mind to bubble. Let one thought-wave rise and settle down calmly. Then allow another thought to enter. Drive off all extraneous thoughts that have no connection with the subject-matter you are handling at th...

Methods of Mind-Conquest -2:   Swami Sivananda Stages of Mind-conquest: (Continued) ==================================================================================== 11.Mind-conquest by the Method of Sankirtan Yoga: Of particular interest to the modern temper is the case Sivananda makes out in a chapter on Sankirtan Yoga, in his Sivananda Yoga Samhita for Sankirtan as the easiest and the cheapest method of mind-control and God-realisation. “Sankirtan Yoga is the easiest, surest, quickest, safest, cheapest and best way for conquering the mind and attaining God-realisation in this Kali Yuga. There is infinite Sakti in the Lord’s Names. It will remove all impurities from your mind. Vedantins say that there are three kinds of obstacles to Self-realisation–Mala, Vikshena and Avarana. To remove them they prescribe Nishkama Karma, Upasana and Vedantic Nididhyasana...

Methods of Mind-Conquest -2:   Swami Sivananda Stages of Mind-conquest: ==================================================================================== 6.Mind-conquest by the Method of Will-culture: From pages? of this book let us compile here those relevant passages of Sivananda that present to us his method of will-culture for mind-control. Mind-control is extremely difficult. But, it has to be done. Therefore Sivananda says on page?, - You will have to struggle hard for a long time with patience and perseverance. Nothing is impossible for a Sadhaka who has an iron will and a strong determination. When a doubt arises, - whether or not I succeed in controlling the mind, it must be dispelled, Sivananda says, by direct suggestions and affirmation such as: - It is true: I will succeed. There is no doubt of this. - In my dictionary, in my vocabulary, there ar...
