By this form of meditation your personality will get absorbed into Reality and you will imbibe the character of Eternity as Reality .

This is an outline of the method of Bhakti Yoga .

YQA | TOTAL THOUGHT & MEDITATION | SEL0004

Meditation does not mean thinking of an object ; it is a transference of consciousness from the subjectivity of yours and from the objectivity of the object to a central point which is transcendent to both .

ULTIMATE EXPERIENCE OF SAMADHI | SEL001

Can you go beyond the idea of space and time ? Can you think in a cosmic form ? Can you imagine that you are in a transcendental state , in the apex of the universe ?

YQA | THE HIGHER SELF | SEL0001

When the Higher Self does all your Magazine Department work , it is a cosmic action taking place . The whole world will throb when you go into the office . Actually you are not going to the office ; you are entering into yourself only . The office is your own self . . .

PREPARATION FOR MEDITATION | VIDEO +

Infinitude and Eternity collapse together in the aspiration for the Almighty GOD , the Supreme Being . That which you call the Absolute , Brahman , Consciousness — whatever it is — is the blend of Eternity and Infinity .

PSL | THE GREAT CONSCIOUSNESS

Can you transfer your consciousness ? Put it here , your consciousness should sit here . Can it sit here ? Now it is inside your body . It is operating through the body and you are seeing through the aperture of your eyes and then perceiving a person like me here .

SCP | IMMANUEL KANT

Immanuel Kant is said to have been woken up by Hume from " dogmatic slumber " and brought about a " Copernican revolution " in the field of philosophy . In Kant we begin to reap the ripe fruits of philosophy , for it is here that it shows signs of its having reached maturity and full development .

MOUNA & INTROSPECTION | SW SIVANANDA

Imagination in the mind always exaggerates . Exaggeration is a modification of lie . Aspirants should not exaggerate . They should utter words with mathematical and scientific precision . An aspirant is asked to give up company and observe Mouna .

THE IMPORTANCE OF A SPIRITUAL DIARY

The keeping up of a daily spiritual diary is an indispensable requisite . It is certainly of paramount importance . Those who are already in the habit of keeping it know its incalculable advantages .

PRACTICAL VEDANTA | PART 1 OF 4 | CWSV 2

Theory is very good indeed , but how are we to carry it into practice ? If it be absolutely impracticable , no theory is of any value whatever , except as intellectual gymnastics .

PRACTICAL VEDANTA | PART 2 OF 4 | CWSV 2

We want to worship a living GOD . I have seen nothing but GOD all my life , nor have you . To see this chair you first see GOD , and then the chair in and through GOD , GOD is everywhere saying , " I am " .

PRACTICAL VEDANTA | PART 3 OF 4 | CWSV 2

Throughout the whole range of our knowledge , the explanation which is based upon the nature of the thing itself is a scientific explanation , and an explanation which brings in an outside agent is unscientific .
