This is really extraordinary in a way, because nobody wants it. To be ordinary is the most extraordinary thing in the world. -

You want to go somewhere else, with same mind, it is not going to help. You are the source of all that exists around you, you are the creator of your own world. The world is just a mirror, and you are reflected in it. It depends on your mind. If you are positive, then everything becomes positive. Fighting with everything, you create a negative world around you. -

If you start to feel like vomiting, that vomit is not only physical, just one part is physical, a deeper part is the vomit of the ego. If you continue to feel disturbed, there will be a physical vomiting, but if you don’t bother about it, soon physical vomiting will disappear. -
Love, surrender, trust, are like swimming. You have to go to the river. You cannot make it a condition that you will not get into the river unless you know swimming. If you make that condition you will never learn, because there is no other way to learn it. You have to go, cautiously of course, slowly of course; there is no need to go to the deepest part. But enter - find a spot where you can learn swimming and where you are not afraid to die.

Jesus was talking in parables. Sufis know how to say in parables things which cannot be said. Buddha uses so many stories just to help you to attain a little glimpse. Other masters explained these stories, it is a tradition in the east. -

The words of the Śākyamuni Buddha addressed to Mahākāśyapa are described below: I possess the true Dharma eye, the marvelous mind of Nirvana, the true form of the formless, the subtle dharma gate that does not rest on words or letters but is a special transmission outside of the scriptures. This I entrust to Mahākāśyapa. http://www.tamqui.com/buddhaworld/Mahākāśyapa -

Buddha came one day with a flower in his hand. He was going to give a sermon. But no sermon was given, he just sat silently looking at the flower. Everyone wondered what he was doing. It continued for ten minutes, twenty, thirty minutes... Then everyone became uneasy. No one was able to say what he was doing. They all had gathered -- at least ten thousand people -- to hear him speak. And he was just sitting, only looking at the flower. Mahakashyapa laughed. Buddha looked and said, "Mahakashyapa, come to me." He gave the flower to Mahakashyapa and said, "All that could be said I have said to all, and all that could not be said I have given to Mahakashyap." Buddha says, "I gave to Mahakashyapa all that cannot be said." Of course, the essential this is "that which cannot be said." Only the nonessential can be said, only the superficial can be said, only the utilitarian can be said. The most significant transfer of knowledge is possible in silence only. -

If compassion has not arisen in you, then apathy will arise. Apathy means absence of passion. It happens to people who are on the path of meditation because to control comes easily. Awareness is very arduous. Control is very easy because control needs only a cultivation of habits. You cultivate habits, then those habits possess you and you need not worry. Then you go on with your habits, they become mechanical and you live a robot life. Go and watch Catholic monks, Jaina monks, Buddhist monks, and you will see very apathetic figures , dull, stupid, nonradiant. So, meditation is not control, it is not repression. A man of meditation has learned how to be full of energy, at the maximum, optimum. Do some active meditations. Walk meditatively as if the eternity is yours, just walk the way you go for a morning walk in a relaxed way about three times slower than your usual walk. Bring your attention to the feeling of your feet touching the ground. Walk consciously but relaxed, as if walking is everything. -

The negative side is a part of life, death is a part of life. But negative should be used as a stepping stone to it, but never emphasized, because that creates in people's minds the idea that the negative is what life is all about. Can journalism survive on positive news? -

250 Year Old Devraha Baba of Vrindavan (India) The first President of India, Dr. Rajendra Prasad, more than seventy years ago, said that his father had sat at the feet of Devraha Baba as a child – that is, in the middle of the nineteenth century – and Devraha Baba was already elderly at that time. -

Hatha Yoga is a lifestyle to promote good health and peace of mind. Disease free life and happiness. The Hatha Yoga Pradipika is a classical text describing Hatha Yoga. Hatha yogis are powerful people, they have control over their bodies, nobody can claim that much control. Famous yogi Trailanga Swami (1607–1887). Trailanga Swami lived to be 280 years old, residing at Varanasi between 1737 and 1887. All these Hatha Yoga techniques were developed for use in monasteries. They are monastic techniques intended for people who are totally involved in them for twenty-four hours a day, not doing anything else. Then too, you have to work with them for a very long period, for years. If Hatha Yoga is taught to a person who is not totally involved in it, who only comes to do Hatha yoga once or twice or even for an hour a day, but who is involved for twenty-three hours a day in quite a different world, a work that is quite the contrary – it is not going to help much Whatsoever you have gained is lost every day. The very method is a monastic method. There are many problems with Hatha Yoga, particularly for those in the West, because the system of Hatha Yoga and its related techniques were all developed in a very different milieu, for very differently constituted bodies as well as for different minds. We have a very unnatural body. It is unnatural not only because it has been conditioned by the outside, but also because of too much mental suppression inside. There are very complex suppressions in your body and unless these body complexes are released, Hatha Yoga will not help or, it can help only to a certain extent. -
Ram Dass reflects on conscientiously dosing 'Neem Karoli Baba' with LSD In 1967 when I first came to India, I brought with me a supply of LSD, hoping to find someone who might understand more about these substances than we did in the West. When I had met Maharajji (Neem Karoli Baba), after some days the thought had crossed my mind that he would be a perfect person to ask. The next day after having that thought, I was called to him and he asked me immediately, “Do you have a question?” Of course, being before him was such a powerful experience that I had completely forgotten the question I had had in my mind the night before. So I looked stupid and said, “No, Maharajji, I have no question.”He appeared irritated and said, “Where is the medicine?” I was confused but Bhagavan Dass suggested, ” Maybe he means the LSD.” I asked and Maharajji nodded. The bottle of LSD was in the car and I was sent to fetch it. When I returned I emptied the vial of pills into my hand. In addition to the LSD there were a number of other pills for this and that–diarrhea, fever, a sleeping pill, and so forth. He asked about each of these. He asked if they gave powers. I didn’t understand at the time and thought that by “powers” perhaps he meant physical strength. I said, “No.” Later, of course, I came to understand that the word he had used, “siddhis,” means psychic powers. Then he held out his hand for the LSD. I put one pill on his palm. Each of these pills was about three hundred micrograms of very pure LSD–a solid dose for an adult. He beckoned for more, so I put a second pill in his hand–six hundred micrograms. Again he beckoned and I added yet another, making the total dosage nine hundred micrograms–certainly not a dose for beginners. Then he threw all the pills into his mouth. My reaction was one of shock mixed with fascination of a social scientist eager to see what would happen. He allowed me to stay for an hour– and nothing happened. Nothing whatsoever. He just laughed at me. The whole thing had happened very fast and unexpectedly. When I returned to the United States in 1968 I told many people about this acid feat. But there had remained in me a gnawing doubt that perhaps he had been putting me on and had thrown the pills over his shoulder or palmed them, because I hadn’t actually seen them go into his mouth. Three years later, when I was back in India, he asked me one day, “Did you give me medicine when you were in India last time?” “Yes.” “Did I take it?” he asked. (Ah, there was my doubt made manifest!) “I think you did.” “What happened? “Nothing.” “Oh! Jao!” and he sent me off for the evening. The next morning I was called over to the porch in front of his room, where he sat in the mornings on a tucket. He asked, “Have you got any more of that medicine?” It just so happened that I was carrying a small supply of LSD for “just in case,” and this was obviously it. “Yes.” “Get it,” he said. So I did. In the bottle were five pills of three hundred micrograms each. One of the pills was broken. I placed them on my palm and held them out to him. He took the four unbroken pills. Then, one by one, very obviously and very deliberately, he placed each one in his mouth and swallowed it– another unspoken thought of mine now answered. As soon as he had swallowed the last one, he asked, “Can I take water?” “Yes.” “Hot or cold?” “It doesn’t matter.” He started yelling for water and drank a cup when it was brought. Then he asked, “How long will it take to act?” “Anywhere from twenty minutes to an hour.” He called for an older man, a long -time devotee who had a watch, and Maharajji held the man’s wrist, often pulling it up to him to peer at the watch. Then he asked,” Will it make me crazy?” That seemed so bizarre to me that I could only go along with what seemed to be a gag. So I said, “Probably.” And then we waited. After some time he pulled the blanket over his face, and when he came out after a moment his eyes were rolling and his mouth was ajar and he looked totally mad. I got upset. What was happening? Had I misjudged his powers? After all, he was an old man (though how old I had no idea), and I had let him take twelve hundred micrograms. Maybe last time he had thrown them away and then he read my mind and was trying to prove to me he could do it, not realizing how strong the “medicine” really was. Guilt and anxiety poured through me. But when I looked at him again he was perfectly normal and looking at the watch. At the end of an hour it was obvious nothing had happened. His reactions had been a total put-on. And then he asked, “Have you got anything stronger?” I didn’t. Then he said, “These medicines were used in Kullu Valley long ago. But yogis have lost that knowledge. They were used with fasting. Nobody knows now. To take them with no effect, your mind must be firmly fixed on God.

Third Eye Surgery In Tibet there were even surgical operations for the third eye. But reaching that place surgically is quite different from reaching it internally, through Yoga practices as has been done in India. Opening the center from the outside – without any refining or purifying of consciousness – creates a danger of misusing the achievements. 68 Skulls with a “Third Eye” Found in China http://ancients-bg.com/68-skulls-with-a-third-eye-found-in-china/ The power of the third eye was revealed in the Autobiography of a Tibetan Lama. Lobsang rampa describes that a surgery was performed above his nose on the special third eye spot. The surgery likely opened the passage between his third eye and his forehead. He also described it in the book that the surgery gave him abilities that he had never thought of. It is because of this, in Tibet black magic was born – because of those external operations. There was very little spiritual growth, but evil practices could thrive. External operations could have been done in India also, but Indians never attempted to do them, because the practitioners of Yoga know that if consciousness is not transformed from within, it is dangerous to activate such powers and put them in the hands of people who might misuse them. -

Success is a by-product; one need not think about it. And if you think about it, you will not get it -- that is a condition. If you work really sincerely upon yourself, success will follow you just as your shadow follows you. Success has not to be the goal. Work quietly, silently, un-troubled by any idea of success or failure. -

Love is not enough to keep two persons together, you need social and legal contract to keep them together. Marriage is more permanent than love.

Between the two eyes there exists a third eye, but it is non- functioning, it is not a part of your physical body. It is there, it can function any moment, but it does not function naturally. You have to do something about it to open it. This technique is to open the third eye. ATTENTION BETWEEN THE EYEBROWS... Close your eyes, then focus both of your eyes just in the middle of the two eyebrows. Focus just in the middle, with closed eyes, as if you are looking with your two eyes. Give total attention to it. This is one of the simplest methods of being attentive. You cannot be attentive to any other part of the body so easily. This spot absorbs attention like anything. If you give attention to it, both your eyes become hypnotized with the third eye. They become fixed; they cannot move. If you are trying to be attentive to any other part of the body it is difficult. This third eye catches attention, forces attention; It is magnetic for attention. Once your attention is focused at the third eye center, you become immediately the witness of thoughts. The energy of the third eye is really the same as that which moves in the two ordinary eyes - the same energy. It begins to move in a new center. Ordinary person wastes his energy in thousand and one ways, so don't expect that your third eye will open any time soon, but this technique will help in your spiritual growth. -
