The physical aspect of being in Sunday class is not enough. Lot more is needed to prepare for Vibha.
Mind purification is essential to internalize the knowledge.
My major support system has always been Books and Vedanta classes.
I’m currently reading — Mind-it’s mysteries and control by Swami Shivananda. It’s incredible text which I find very supportive for daily practice.
Currently also reading ( for nth time)Big Red book of Rumi. The beauty of the verses with its subtle or overt spiritual messages encourage reflection and Bhakti.
Also reading -Tao of Physics….Well! It’s like the science of Vedanta and it’s awe- inspiring to see the Science and wisdom of Vedanta coherently expressed ( realizing that science has only tried to uncover it by scratching the surface)
Syncing with Nature- Marveling at its expanse and trying to feel the Universe within me. How can one not Love Him?
Resuming Manah Shodhanam classes where guidance by Vivekji helps in applying this to practice.
Continuing Upadesa Sara and Meditation in Life classes by Vivekji- always makes one think deeply and helping one in daily application of ancient but eternal wisdom.
I’m so happy to be back to classes and doing the RAW’s. Missed this during the ‘pause period’ in December! This really inspires one to reflect more.
Making an effort to bring more disciplined in thoughts, actions and words is helping too.
One can never do enough. It’s an eternal road which can only be treaded by ……. Walking.
He is waiting with open arms on other side.
Once I get there, I will realize He is no other than Me.
