When it comes to enjoyment, no discipline is necessary.
Where is discipline needed? When something is not enjoyable, not charming to begin with. It is primarily to calm down the mind.
That pleasure that comes after discipline is long lasting, authentic and sattvic pleasure.
Discipline should not be for no reason. Purpose of discipline is to attain joy.
Being here total this moment is abhyasa.
Mind may bring all justifications, fantasies to go out of the moment.
Coming back to the center, to the seer, this moment, again and again, and again is abhayasa.
Vairagaya/Dispassion is necessary for meditation. For these few moments I sit, I don't care for anything. Putting a stop for all cravings.
Shatter all dreams and fantasies. Burn them down. What great happiness you want? You'll be finished soon. For sure. Under the mud. It is all going to end.
Carefully look at each craving you have, and see what is in it. All objects of sense have limitations.
Become free before earth eats you up.
Desire makes you unhappy. Craving for happiness brings misery.Happiness is just an idea in our heads.
Skillfully come to present moment. Defeat all objects of senses.
Once you know the nature of the being -- total bliss, total pleasure.
Become centered. The essence is dispassion. Abhayasa and Vairagaya.
Dispassion is like doing something for the first time, without connection to the past, or worried of the future.
What pleasure the dispaasion cannot give? Because it puts you 100% in the moment. Every moment is a peak experience.
Dispassion centers you. Gives you strength.
You cannot increase your awareness or intelligence by effort. This can only be achieved by relaxation. You must learn to relax. Conscious resting. Practice of deep rest.
Dissolving oneself with the nature is also meditation. PrakartiLaya Samadhi. Like watching ocean waves, or sunset.
Faith integrates the consciousness. Doubt disseminates it.
Smriti/Memory of joy/samadhi/self brings back to your self.
Equanimous mind gives rise of heightened awareness.
Very EASY for someone who gives it first preference. Then spiritual growth is more easy. Tivr Samvagana Aasana. Rest of things in life have second preference. First commitment is to be with the truth.
Just by one pointed devotion to God.
The very center core of life is ruled by love. Beyond all changes, the very center of consciousness, there is love.
A flower blossoms because of love. Young ones are cared for because of love. Love is inbuilt in the creation. God is love. Love is God. Synonymous.
