Karma as the Source of Diversity

The vedas acknowledge divine karma as the origin of all creation, preservation, and destruction. However, since God does not have desires, unlike humans, he is not constrained by them. In the first chapter of the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad (1.6.1), we discover that karma is one of the three main causes of diversity, alongside name and form. The variety in names is a result of speech, and the variety in forms is a result of the eye, while the mind and body are the sources for the variety in actions. For every action, the body serves as the source, the controller, or the lord.  Within the body, the mind, speech, breath, organs of action, and organs of perception are regarded as the primary deities who receive sustenance from the body and carry out their respective functions. Nevertheless, we cannot solely depend on them to combat the impurities and the malevolent forces that can infiltrate our body, as they are susceptible to evil and demonic influences, thoughts, desires, temptations,...

CONCENTRATION PART-1




The perception of Meditation and Concentration is slightly going off track now-a-days. There's a difference between these two terms. To understand the difference between we should first understand the following statements.
  • All concentrations not meditation. But,meditation is all about concentration.
  • If you want peace of mind, meditate. To meditate, one needs to have peace of mind.
As per Patanjali Maharshi Asthang Yoga;

    PURE CONCENTRATION:-
  • YAMA
  • NIYAMA
  • ASANA
  • PRANAYAMA
    PURE MEDITATION:-
  • PRATYAHARA: Gathering the knowledge.
  • DHARANA: Focusing mind on a single thought.
  • DHYANA
  • SAMADHI
Note; Point number 5-8 of Pure Meditation is in addition to the four points mentioned in Pure Concentration.

Some examples of the above are:

    CONCENTRATION:-
  • Shooting is Concentration
  • Car Driving is Concentration
  • Painting is Concentration
   MEDITATION:-
  • Mira Bai's life is Meditation
  • Shri Rama Krishna life is Meditation 
  • Lord Shavari's Meditation for Lord Ram
Now-a-days, so many thoughts are clattering our mind, which is a big problem. The thing which we have to take care here is to focus all thoughts and have a crystal clear mind which would further help in our deciding correctly.

A psychological way to understand the concentration is written in CONCENTRATION PART-1
