Quotable Quotes Part II

அண்டத்திலும் இந்தவாரென்று அறிந்திடு
பிண்டத்திலும் அதுவே பேசு.
ஒளவைக் குறள்.


கையளவு நீரை எடுத்து அதை ஆராய்ந்தால்
கடல் நீர் முழுவதும் ஆராயப் படுகின்றது.

பிண்டமான நம் உடலின் நாயகனைத் தெரிந்து கொண்டால்
அண்டத்தின் நாயகனை நம்மால் அறிந்து கொள்ள முடியும்
 
சிந்திக்குந் தோறும் தெவிட்டா அமுதேஎன்
புந்திக்குள் நீதான்
பொருந்திடவுங் காண்பேனோ?
தாயுமானவர்.


இயற்கை தன்னை ஓயாமல் புதுப்பித்துக் கொண்டே இருக்கிறது.
அதனால் அது என்றும் புதுமையானதாகவே இருக்கிறது.
மனிதன் தன எண்ணத்திலும் வாழ்வினிலும் என்றும்
புதுமையைப் புகுத்தித் தன்னை மேம்படுத்திக் கொள்ள வேண்டும்.
 
Thinking ourselves to be incapable of many feats we live a life of self -fulfilling prophesies of failures. Rising above prejudices and mind-blocks will open a whole new set of possibilities from where one can spread his wings,fly high and reach for others.

Ants are great teachers. They can help you succeed professionally more than your academic or technical education. Ants are diligent and prudent: diligent by working hard without coercion, and prudent by saving part of all production. You need to learn these two basic rules for success to amount to anything in life. Solomon
 
Conscious breathing


"Breath is life and life is breath. There is no difference between the two."
It is your breath oflife. You have to care for it. We don't remember that the breath has got any importance for us. We do not knmv that we are attached to the breath. We think it is automatic and our great grandfather must have signed a lease for it. We worry for everything in this world, but we do not worry on that which gives us life, that is our breath. Moment you don't breathe, they throw you out. Breath is your everything and you have no time to meditate on that. You meditate on God, but not on the breath, which is the tender charge of God. I have to tell you one thing very clearly. I can only pass on the truth to you. I cannot sit in you and breathe. Take a conscious breath. Conscious is: take it in as long and deep as you can and take it out as much as you can. That is called conscious breath.(Conscious breathing is also called "mechanical" breathing.) What is attractive in you is not you. It is your absolutely radiant body. That is a shining armor around you for protection and attraction both. And (its strength) depends how deeply you consume praana and how many times during the day you try to breath'e absolutely mechanically.Your mind stops automatically when you are doing a mechanical breath. Your mind cannot go anywhere. It comes right to the point and it says, 'Yes, master'. Normally it says, 'Hey, slave, do what I say'. But once you start rhythmic mechanical breathing, mind shall stop. And if you really do it well for a while every day, you will be shocked to find that the mind will not disobey you for any reason In yoga never breathe a breath of life automatically, always breathe mechanically.



Thirty-one minutes of mechanical breathing can give you better health than you ever had before. It can give you strength beyond understanding. It can give you answers for every question, which you can't even imagine. Because you live by the breath and you die by the breath. So you must enjoy the breath. And to develop intuition, you must have your breath, the basic elementary power of life, under your control. Only conscious breathing, pranayam, gives you consciousness. You can breathe automatically. Breathing you can do unconsciously. Why do we do conscious breathing? Are we insane? No. Conscious breathing leaves you with consciousness. Conscious relationship with prana is the conscious relationship with (Divine) Consciousness. If you do not breathe consciously for eleven minutes a day, you lose 40% of the vitality of life. This 40% you cannot recapture by any medicine or any exercise. But if you do breathe consciously for 11 minutes and make it very long, deep, and slow breathing, that can do exactly what no miracle can do, because our life is based on the breath of life. Anyone who breathes consciously for two and one-half hours during the 24 hours, which is one-tenth of the day, automatically is given all knowledge, all consciousness, etc. etc. Otherwise you will fight for pennies: 'Who said what to whom? Why me? Why that? Why? If... But If you can command the breath of life and consciously breathe, you can be in command of your life and environments will relate to you as per your wish. May we all understand, in the breath of life we can be Infinite and with our fearlessness and character, we can achieve all the riches of the earth to share them with mankind.

Generally Christians celebrate the Christmas in a grand scale. They expect
the same spirit should be forever. There is quote in this connection from a
known author :

I wish we could put some of the Christmas spirit in jars and open a jar
of it every month.


Harlan Miller
 
“Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.” ―Gautama Buddha

Quote from swami Dayananda

"That you have likes and dislikes, is not a problem. There is a problem only when you allow them to govern you. There is no problem if you allow yourself to be governed by dharma, if you surrender your will to dharma. That is what is called surrender. Surrender is not an action, it is bhavana, a condition of the mind. And this surrender is for our own growth, for our own maturity. If what you have to do in a given situation is not in keeping with your like, bring your discretion into play and do what is right. You become a partipant in the cosmic yajna when your action is in conformity with dharma, with what is proper in a given situation. A great yajna is going on and you do what is to be done and avoid what should not be done. This order itself is the Lord and that is yoga. Conformity to dharma brings about a harmony in life: the mind remains free from conflicts, free from regrets. Do what is to be done-- cross all the t's and dot all the i's. That is what we call yoga, A LIFE OF DHARMA" (caps mine)

This was taken from the book "Talks on emotional maturity" page 62
 
“Time is only an idea. There is only the Reality Whatever you
think it is, it looks like that. If you call it time, it is time. If you
call it existence, it is existence, and so on. After calling it time, you
divide it into days and nights, months, years, hours, minutes, etc.
Time is immaterial for the Path of Knowledge. But some of these
rules and discipline are good for beginners.”

Ramana Maharshi
