In the hectic life difficult not only to engage in serious practice, it is hard even to remember its existence. Is there a way out of this seems a hopeless situation? Yes. This - accumulation of forces of inertia. Heavy composition is difficult to budge from their seats, but even more difficult then it stopped. Progress in our lives is determined by force of inertia of the huge amount of unfulfilled desires and habits acquired in the previous forms of existence.
However, there are proven methods for accumulation of inertia. Here they are:
* Taught himself to sit in meditation, or more than half an hour a day in a strictly defined for this time, we have laid the groundwork for further change. Of course, one seat is not enough.
* Need to work with the body - Hatha yoga or Chinese practice.
* Among the sea of spiritual literature should learn to pick something that is consonant with our direct way of comprehension, not to spend unnecessary time on reading books.
* Range of communication is important - it should be left only to those who share an interest in the practice itself is in the path.
* Pilgrimages to the holy people, and ancient temples, to the forces of nature can be useful.
* You need to eat only pure and healthy food. Accustom itself is smaller. Reduce or completely eliminate meat products.
* Engage them. Less talk. Do not climb into the lives and problems of others. If possible, help people, not demanding anything in return.
* Completely eliminated a fear and the habit of focusing on negative thoughts.
* You must retire at the time - to be one or two or three associates in order to fully devote themselves to work with consciousness. Duration ritrita depends on the circumstances. It may be several hours or several months.
* Develop a commitment to practice. To treat it as a great treasure.
* Make the practice of everyday life. Use all of the situations for their own learning and development, learn to see and understand what their meaning.
* Do not "hang" (especially when it's fairer sex) for all kinds of mystical phenomena - dreams and their interpretations, visions, signs, sense of foreboding and predictions. All of this distracted, confused, and leads away from the true goal of sadhana.
* Leave behind all the characters, the decree of the supreme reality. Go to the realization through direct comprehension of. Do not stop until the exemption does not become a reality.
Gathered the force of inertia would not allow us to stop and turn back. Even if the old negative karma is activated and vybet us at any time from the seat, sooner or later we will still go back to the most important cause of life - work with consciousness.
The question may arise - whether it is possible to comprehend the Higher Reality does not follow anyone's instructions, and without any requirements? Yes. That and the need to act - only to hear the voice of their own hearts. American mystic Merell Franklin-Wolfe said that the best results he has achieved by making the opposite to that required books and teachings. No rules and recommendations can not guarantee descent are welcome. Higher is always a man suddenly, the logic of "made-received here is not working.
Once two of my friends went through the streets of Moscow, and discussed whether the world is governed by the laws of logic, or all of the existing - the unpredictable game. At this very moment they saw the old lady kind of strange. From sedymi wild hair, casually dressed, she moved to the street, rotating around its axis counter-clockwise. "Podkruzhivshis" to them, she said: "It's twisted logic on-perelogike. But you will not be afraid." With these words she disappeared.
No matter how and what we do. It is important to seek and do not stop searching. If we look for the truth, and do so with dedication and sincerity, the sky always respond. In this there can be no doubt. The main act! Main does not stop!
Not stopping on the way of searching, we are fundamentally changing our karma and the karma of people with whom we are brought close to reality. Untangling the karmic knots, you must be aware that we are not only reaping the consequences of past actions and thoughts, but also constantly creating future karma. Both processes - to activate the old karma and a new, occur simultaneously.
Karma is a black, white and mixed. Classes practice, accumulate good karma, and create favorable conditions for the next transformation, but does not avoid the karmic dependence. Karma does not create themselves or thought - by their very nature they are neutral, but the attachment to them.
Attachment to what you want, including the practice, and especially, its fruit does not give us the opportunity to withdraw from the circle of births and deaths. This does not mean that the practice does not need to be addressed, as it only once and must be dealt with in human life, but it should be correct.
Do not need to practice for its own sake, but for the sake of freedom - including freedom for the sake of practice. In fact, it is necessary to gradually get rid of the need for spiritual work. Paradoxically, you can get rid of the practice only when it is brought to perfection. Being perfect, Sadhana becomes no longer necessary. Practice - is a precious tool that should be discarded at the end of the road.
Approximate map of the path might look like:
* Loaded in the mundane lives of people feel the first signs of dissatisfaction this life. It seems that something is wrong. He begins to suspect that there is something more than material existence. However, his interest goes beyond talk, read a few books or random visits to the temple.
* Dissatisfaction is growing, and people begin to seek knowledge. This search, however, chaotic and besporyadochen. The searcher feels that to live is still he does not want to, but where to go - it is not yet known. It is the mosque, trying one, then another, but not what can not stop.
* As a result, the search comes a meeting with a mentor or with a system of knowledge. Search becomes more intelligent and systematic. The searcher receives guidance - and that he needs to be done. He begins to learn. Past habits, fears and doubts sometimes tilt it back, but sooner or later he returns to the search path.
* First glimpses of reality. Searcher to understand the need for separate efforts and made sadhane in full force and effect. He begins to act with faith and determination. "My goal is achievable and I dobyus it" - he says himself. It is with utmost dedication, finder makes the process of liberation inevitable.
* Searcher gets first experience with. Usually this is short or flash illumination. This means that the reality was called to him, but he could not stay in this state. Finder keeps the memory of the experience of death before, but not yet in a position to make the experience of the unity of the reality of life. After that, it generally continues sadhanu or become a guru, the rest of the life stories of people that were once tested. Most sincere, but weak teachers fall into this category.
* The next level of comprehension is reached when the searcher is seeking stability in practice. He is able to control their minds, as has already been largely cleansed of its past samskar. The submitted himself, the man at this level does not need to communicate. He prefers solitude sadhana society of others. But he still needs to make efforts, and its practice requires a certain environment - quiet, solitude, reading spiritual books, etc. Thus, it is a "here", then "there". When you return to the world of people he might forget and run off to the side, but always returns to the path.
* The experience seeker is becoming less dependent on the practitioner, he is able to see the top of the daily rush and bustle. Searcher is capable of becoming a reality in the sight of joy and anger, fear and despondency. The habit of meditation and solitude may be, but it no longer binds him. The question how and what to do no longer occur, as is an understanding that the acts and omissions are equal. It was called home stretch to the full release - as dzhivanmukty [Dzhivanmukta (sanskr.) - released during his lifetime. - Approx. auth.].
* For the very highest level are the master, is not linked to the outside world and ourselves. They are irrevocably established in his true nature, in which the stay does not require any effort from them. Such people are completely insight, they no longer exist "here" and "there", they exist simultaneously in all plans of life. Comprehended not make any effort to make such as change or improve their lives. They feel pain and pleasure, and distinguish between good and evil, but treat them as illusions, not to affect the state of reality in which they live. Realized playing like children, for them all - a manifestation of mahalily. They float through life, like clouds, swim, regardless of their landscapes. They lie or stand, eat or sleep, silent or spoken, is always comprehended absorbed higher consciousness. They see no distinction between samadhi and normal life. These people are perfect in all its manifestations and, if they desire to teach others exist - they are the best teacher.
At any of these stages, you can get stuck. In addition, there are intermediate stages, and some branches. End of the road - complete dissolution of Brahmins [Brahman - Supreme Reality. - Approx. auth.]. This return to the source, from which there is no turning back, Parinirvana Buddha.
We can say that people are going on the path of spiritual transformation, differ in the extent of its dissolution. Lowest, simian type of person is the density, hardness, heavy. Saints of all time and people have been light, volatile, transparent. These qualities are not necessarily linked to the physical constitution, they have more substance.
At stages preceding the final dissolution of the source selector receives the body of light - his face, eyes and whole body begin to glow. Do yogis higher levels of this light can be so bright that their faces can not be viewed. To master this level, there is no difference between matter and consciousness.
Together with the condition of the foundation, they can take any shape - human, animal, stone. Or live in the body of light - then instead of the figure we see lights. Masters who have reached these levels, you need to wear "masks" and pretend the ordinary person, when they are in humans.
In the Himalayas there are Siddha ashram, where there are no buildings and temples. There can be only snow and ice. Living in these places Yoga - realized soul, dropping a physical shell for a while or forever, and inhabiting the bodies of light. They do not have a problem, except for those seeking assistance in all ends of the earth. Neither time nor distance are not obstacles for them. They always hear a sincere call and ready to come to the rescue. Perhaps, therefore, Ramana Maharshi said that teachers do not have problems. Teachers complete, where the disciples?
