The Voice of Babaji: A Trilogy On Kriya Yoga – Quotes
“So, live in the here and now. Stand amidst your thoughts and control and direct them to good ends with order and peace. Let there be a stream of a joyous thoughts flowing towards the goal of life and you will have sweet and smooth sailing.” ==================*******************================ Life’s Pendulum
p.217 “Mind is commonly used in the form of thought. Thoughts are live vibrations. Each thought is a magnet and pulls in its like. Great is the force and power of thought. The quality of thought matters much indeed. Thought are life’s pendulum. They make gloom or cheer, make or mar life. Watch carefully the type of thought you express. Mind is full of energy. Learn in the school of life, the mighty potency of mental power. Shake off and unload the useless baggage of cumbersome thoughts. Censor every thought of a faulty nature and avoid its reactions. Develop mind through the though without stagnation. Give no room for worn out musty ossified thoughts. Constantly practice right thinking and prove to be mirror reflecting the illumination of soul sunshine. The physical outside world is but the objectification of the inner world created by your daily thoughts. Words are the manifestation of thought in action. Make your words winning, giving them power and grace.
Don’t corrupt the mind with soothing illusions. Meditation does not mean holding the mind in a negative dreamy state, nor does it mean holding it on a vague abstraction. It is the continuous flow of the thought towards the goal, the Self without any break. This has to be done with harmony between reason and emotion, which acting singly, will degenerate into dry intellectualism and wet sentimentalism respectively. Glory is not reflected in your life in a mirage paradise of earthliness. Do not remain enclosed in the cocoon of your own delusion.
Do not paralyze your nerves by the dread of wrong imaginations. Abhor nightmares of ignorant acts, since ignorance is the sin of all sins. Mind is a thoroughfare along which thoughts race or crawl or fly. If not controlled they prove a tumult of undirected and dangerous traffic. So, live in the here and now. Stand amidst your thoughts and control and direct them to good ends with order and peace. Let there be a stream of a joyous thoughts flowing towards the goal of life and you will have sweet and smooth sailing. Awaken behind the world’s painted screen of delusion and behold yourself as the only Reality. It is there that the dualities of human experience disappear. The objective universe and subjective universe meet and merge in the foundational and fundamental Self.”
