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,...

UNSTRUCK SOUND

 



Samadhi is the experience of pure consciousness which transcends mind and body. On the path to experiencing pure consciousness, an individual discovers the wisdom of the body, emotional and cognitive intelligence, the union of body and mind (atman or soul), and the expansion of Atman into Nada Braham (God of Sound).

Beyond the experience of Nada-Brahman comes the realization of the Nirgun Brahman or pure consciousness. Nada means the flow of sound and Yoga means Union. Nada Yoga is the process of the union of the individual mind with cosmic consciousness through the flow of sounds. When the river of consciousness is impeded by the ego, Nada or special sounds can remove the obstruction allowing the river of individual consciousness to unite with its source, the ocean of pure consciousness.

Nada is also called Shabd or word and is produced either by striking two objects known as Ahat Nad or without striking two objects which is called Anahat Nad.

The Anahat sound can be heard at the Anahat or heart chakra. Anahat Nada is the sound of Aum Shinrikyo, a fundamental, vibrationless element from which the world is believed to be born. All other sounds are from Aum Shinrikyo. Prakriti is energy, energy is vibration and all vibrations are sound.

From human DNA to bacteria and viruses, from the Earth to the solar system and distant galaxies, from newborn stars to black holes, everything has its own sound and music. The whole world hums with its own voice and frequency. When we can hum to the frequency of the earth, we become one with it and become nada yogis.

On the Nada Yoga path, the body is healed, the mind returns to balance, the person regains full functionality and life becomes happy. Nada Yoga is like medicine and therapy in this sense; It helps people live a healthy, happy and balanced life in the world. Sound or Nada meditation is the most powerful method of self-realization.

In our world, speech and language have lost their beauty and clarity and have become intellectual, boring and intellectual.

Words such as love, soul, energy, passion and consciousness are all repeated and endless. They have no effect on the body or mind. They have nothing to do with what they represent and do not support our desire to bring about change and change.

Nada Yoga helps us discover the emotional and spiritual qualities of voice, speech and language. This Outline sound can be interpreted as a faint ringing sound that can be heard by those in the know.

The only sound we cannot hear through ears is this unstruck sound.

SILENT MIND

What are we? Is our notion of self real? How does it come into existence? Is it the sum total of our experiences and awareness? Or is it a mere notion sustained by a few persistent memories, attachments and desires? Are we the sum total of a few selected thoughts and memories or all thoughts and memories? Are we sustained by a few aspects of our past or all our past? Do we come into existence by the association of these thought and memories, or do we exist without them? If we are a selection of thoughts and memories, what happens to us when we enter into deep sleep? Do we still exist then? Such were the questions the Upanishadic seers explored in ancient India several thousands of years ago to know the secrets of existence. In doing so they followed a very unique method to minimize the interference of the mind and transcend its limitations. They silenced their minds and allowed the higher knowledge to manifest itself in their consciousness. We can do it even today. There are two types ...

PRECAP FOR BETTER RECAP

Five core Upanishad philosophies that can be learnt for managing our day-to-day life much better and looking at this blog as a precap for a better recap for this optimistic new year. 1. Samsara, Reincarnation The concept of samsara is prevalent in the Upanishads. Samsara, Sanskrit for, “wandering,” is the cycle of being. It represents reincarnation, the concept adopted by several Eastern religions of being reborn after you die according to the karmic cycle. Regardless of our personal beliefs, there’s something important to be taken from the samsara. Samsara tells us that all of life is in flux. The great wheel of life continues to turn, and nothing is ever stagnant: This vast universe is a wheel, the wheel of Brahman. Upon it are all creatures that are subject to birth, death, and rebirth. Round and round it turns and never stops. Samsara suggests that energy cannot be destroyed or diminished. It is simply transmuted. And it really is quite a poetic perspective on the cycle of deat...

MUNDAKA UPANISHAD (PART 3-3)

THIRD MUNDAKA   FIRST KHANDA 1. Two birds, inseparable friends, cling to the same tree. One of them cats the sweet fruit, the other looks on without eating. 2. On the same tree man sits grieving, immersed, bewildered by his own impotence (an-isa). But when he sees the other lord (isa) contented and knows his glory, then his grief passes away. 3. When the seer sees the brilliant maker and lord (of the world) as the Person who has his source in Brahman, then he is wise, and shaking off good and evil, he reaches the highest oneness, free from passions; 4. For he is the Breath shining forth in all beings, and he who understands this becomes truly wise, not a talker only. He revels in the Self, he delights in the Self, and having performed his works (truthfulness, penance, meditation, &c.) he rests, firmly established in Brahman, the best of those who know Brahman. 5. By truthfulness, indeed, by penance, right knowledge, and abstinence must that Self be gained; the Self whom spotles...
