Don't fall for non-dualist theories that you need to do nothing. You will reach nowhere except imagining yourself to be enlightened. And when reality strikes, you would have done lots of psychological damage to yourselves. #enlightenment#spirituality
Please Beware!!!!
You must put effort in negating all that which is making your self-reflection, vichara, and dhyana difficult.
Once you are meditative by your own nature, you may not call it effort anymore, as you are floating with it already. #enlightenment#spirituality
But, it is only effort that will lead you to effortlessness. You cannot skip it.
Until then, conscious effort and die-hard struggle is necessary in terms of what we call Spiritual Sadhana. #enlightenment#spirituality
You are neck deep in water and yet cry for water. It is as good as saying that one who is neck deep in water feels thirsty, or that a fish in water feels thirsty, or that water feels thirsty. #enlightenment#spirituality
Grace is always there. Dispassion cannot be acquired, nor realisation of the truth, nor inherence in the Self, in the absence of Guru’s grace. But practice is also necessary. #enlightenment#spirituality
Staying in the Self by one’s efforts is like training a roguish bull confined to his stall by tempting him with luscious grass and preventing him from straying.

What is ucchatana and its relation with Ma dhumavati?
Uccāṭana rituals, whose literal meaning is the “dispelling/eradicating” (of an enemy), are basically practices performed to ruin or overthrow one’s foes. #SanatanaDharma#Hinduism
Texts define the term as “ ‘driving the victim away, uprooting, depriving him of his position’ ” or as having the following effect: “ ‘The direction into which he (the victim) has been thrown by the mantra, into that direction he departs without delay; #SanatanaDharma#Hinduism
by the power (of the spell) he leaves behind his wife. sons & his possessions, never to return’ ” (cited in Goudriaan 1978: 352). Ritual aims at harming an enemy either materially, as in “destroying the dwellings of enemies,” or psychologically. #SanatanaDharma#Hinduism
Isn't Kalyug a fantastic time and place to be in? Nothing is as it appears to be. I am not me, you are not you. Instead, I am what I pretend to be and that's how you probably see me as. Ditto for you, right? #VedicAstrology#astrology
So we have corrupt political leaders pretending to be epitome of honesty. We have Self- styled gurus preaching Spirituality. #VedicAstrology#astrology
We have cinema, television and a host of entertainment options where larger than life personas get created and they end up selling everything to us, from where a kid should get educated to who the child should get married to, to his job and much more. #VedicAstrology#astrology
Surya Sukta 1.50.1 is about the passage of a wave of muscle tone from the feet to top of head. We can have the same effect by looking at the afternoon Sun. Therefore, Surya Sukta is not actually about the Sun. #SanatanaDharma#hinduism
It is popular as it is one where a thought passes from stage of Nirguna Brahman, through all seven stages, across Saguna Brahman into an action. It is one reason why Surya is seen as a supreme god. Yet, knowledge about Surya in Rig Veda is too little. #SanatanaDharma#hinduism
