| Re: Science & Spirituality
Quote In my view, without a regular spiritual practice, it is not possible to live a spiritual life. The key to spiritual realization is to start your day in a positive way with techniques such as Kundalini Yoga, Chi Gong, deep relaxation, meditation, and prayer Will that alone change uncontrolled urges of mind? Guru Nanak told Yogis that physical exercises would not sill mind.( in Sidh Gost Yogis keep asking Guru ji how to still mind) I do not accept it as a spiritual experience as per idea expressed in the first sentence of above quote. What is spiritual life according to the author, I disagree. If it is limited to “ keeping positive attitude in life, it will be healthy” I agree. Quote . Developing a regular morning practice, called sadhana in the yogic tradition, is steeped in the history of health, happiness and spiritual fulfillment. The late Yogi Har Bhajan Singh Khalsa said, “Sadhana is the time you energize your soul.” What is permanent happiness after sadhna according to late Yogi Bhajan ? Will that yogic tradition exercise only is enough for everlasting happiness? I don’t think so. Nothing above Nam Simran while being in love with HIM.
Quote Once a student asked the master, “Sir”, she said, “May I take a nap after sadhana?” To which the master replied, “You can do anything you want after sadhana.” You can do anything you want in life. But first do your sadhana. What kind of sadhna sets you free to do whatever mind wants to do? Guru Nanak states to do a sadhna( living in HIS love and Hukm which eliminate ego) which stills the mind. If mind is inspired to wander around after sadhna, the master along with the followers are doomed to go through channels of happiness and sorrows as well and, permanent happiness remains a dreamReference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/spiritual-articles/21549-science-and-spirituality.html Everyone knows the old Golden Rule: “Do unto others.” The new Golden Rule reads: “See the other person as yourself. See the other person as a soul”. The other person is you.Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=21549 You just cannot do that by saying that. Sculpturing of the mind in a different way is needed otherwise ego keeps ruling mind. Just sharing that lame statements are good to read or to enjoy but without total over hauling of mind, no fruits is possible, and that is the reality of life. All are my views in this context, who like otherwise, it is fine with me.  |
