If there is a need to know, a need to be self-assured that one has arrived, then one hasn’t.
#enlightenment #spirituality Image
If you have, then you do not care whether you are enlightened or tube-lightened or whatever.

Standing before the Sun, you are throwing light on it from your torch, just to make sure that it is in fact the Sun.

Will you?
If you were actually standing before the Sun :)?

Conversely, if you have to focus your torch light and make sure it is in fact the Sun, could it really be the Sun :)?

Enlightenment is often described as "being" the flow of life, with the acceptance that everything is impermanent... But isn't "living in the flow" what we are all doing anyway? Doesn't everybody already know that everything in life is impermanent?
#enlightenment #spirituality Image
YOU are impermanent and YOU are the flow. In other words YOU are ever constantly changing flow of “experiences”. And it includes all your life, the whole perceived world.
#enlightenment #spirituality Image
There is nothing outside of seeing, hearing, sensing, feeling, tasting, thinking. This is the world, life, constantly flowing.

What was the key to Buddha's enlightenment? He obviously tried all the methods that we know about. What was his secret that seemingly no one else had tried before (at least that we know of)?
#enlightenment #Buddha Image
Siddhartha felt cheated in the name of enlightenment.

When his master said, “You have to move on. I am only a teacher, not a master. I was pretending and I am very sorry!”. Buddha was totally shattered and tired.
#enlightenment #Buddha Image
He went to take a bath in a nearby river, Niranjana. It is a very small river; in the summer it is not even one foot deep. And he was taking a bath, but he was so weak that he could not cross that small current.

Why is it said that only psychological pain falls away after Enlightenment, but not physical pain? If Consciousness is our true nature and if it's really primary & prior to everything, then wouldn't we also be free of physical pain too?
#enlightenment #spirituality Image
Pain is a general word universally applied to both body and mind.

But, are they both ‘pain’ ?

A lustful man could not possess a woman, and is suffering pain. A child was bitten by an ant, and is crying in pain.
#enlightenment #spirituality Image
Is it fair to call both by the same word and idea called ‘pain’?

A psychological pain is purely caused by attachment and delusion.

Then, what is physical pain.

FIVE STAGES OF HUMAN HEART

There are five stages of the human heart: dark, propelled, steady, devoted, and clean. By these different states of the heart man is classified, and his evolutionary status determined.
#spirituality Image
THE DARK HEART

In the dark state of the human heart man misconceives; he thinks that this gross material portion of the creation is the only real substance, and that there is nothing besides.
#spirituality Image
THE PROPELLED HEART

When man becomes a little enlightened he compares his experiences relating to the material creation, gathered in his wakeful state, with his experiences in dream,

Blemishes or Doshas in a horoscope can actually be used to one’s advantage. The Doshas which scare you the most can actually be your friend and bail you out of critical situations.
#vedicastrology #astrology Image
1. It is not just your horoscope that may have negative placement of planets or the so-called Doshas. Each and every horoscope has some negativity in it and the responsibility lies on the shoulders of the native to activate or deactivate it.
#vedicastrology #astrology Image
2. An astrologer who tries to only see the negative yogas or the Doshas in the horoscope cannot offer solutions.

3. Negative yogas present in the horoscope can be overcome by positive Karmas.

What does Mercury signify in astrology?
Its said that Mercury signifies skin, analytical thinking, rational mind, nerves, communication, travel etc. But why is mercury a significator of these things? What is the essence of Mercury?
#vedicastrology #astrology Image
In astrology all planets represent some aspects of our character. Mercury represents our instinct to self-preserve.

This is the reason why Mercury is considered an embodiment of Vishnu, the preserver.
#vedicastrology #astrology Image
What do we need to self-preserve ourselves? Let’s analyse how these significations help us to preserve and protect ourselves:
