Even during silence we have the chanting of OM and the singing of bhajans. This helps to open up your lungs. So, if your mind works too much. Channel all that energy into the body - work physically. Then, when the body gets tired, you will be able to rest well.

These are the three places for action: body and mind, and speech between the two. If you are physically not working, the same energy is diverted into talking. People who talk a lot, work less. People who don't do any physical work and don't talk much either, lose their mind. You may notice, some people are very quiet. There is a volcano inside them. A dormant volcano! People who talk a lot are less dangerous than those who don't talk at all, because their minds are ever cooking and cooking. Yo...

Ashtavakra very lovingly patted Janaka on the back, and told him to rest and to be hollow and empty - that he had all that he needed. Just rest, you have come to your goal.

💐☘🌾☘🍀🍁🍀☘🌾☘💐 🌺 ASHTAVAKRA GITA🌺 🌿Chapter - 19🌿 ~ Without You Where Will I Be? ~ 🌱 Day - 108 🌱 💐☘🌾☘🍀🍁🍀☘🌾☘💐 Ashtavakra reminded Janaka that he had had this experience over and over again in so many lifetimes with his wife, son, daughter, family. He was not against Janaka having a family. But, he wanted to know how many times Janaka had fallen in love with x, y or z? They had come and gone, and he had wasted several lifetimes like that. He has wasted several years on 'I' and 'mine'. Maybe, he had been trying to do many religious deeds or services like making a pond here and a traveller's bungalow there; building hostels for people. You have done a lot of charity, too. Ashtavakra said that Janaka could not rest with none of this. He was continuously occupied, never leaving his mind ...

When you are alive, you are pure. When you do Kriya, you might have experienced a feeling of cleansing; a feeling of purity. This is because every cell in your body has become so alive! So, you feel very pure.

He says the life is purity, and inertia is impurity and impermanence. Whatever is inert, is impure. And whatever is dynamic or active, is pure. When you are dull, you are impure. When you are alive, you are pure. When you do Kriya, you might have experienced a feeling of cleansing; a feeling of pu...

Both Tgether are multi-dimensional: the depth of silence and dynamic action; the sharpness of intellect and wisdom, and the peak of ecstasy. Both are possibilities in our very body. Do not think this body is not fit for either (still meditation or dance). This body is fit for both. You can do both together. You are the consciousness.

💐☘🌾☘🍀🍁🍀☘🌾☘💐 🌺 ASHTAVAKRA GITA🌺 🌿Chapter - 19🌿 ~ Without You Where Will I Be? ~ 🌱 Day - 106 🌱 💐☘🌾☘🍀🍁🍀☘🌾☘💐 Without you where will I be? A fish without water Sky without the stars or the sun A tree without sap A microphone without sound A word that doesn't sound Without you where will I be? A body without life Mud without moisture Air that doesn't blow Fire that doesn't light Without you where will I be? A body without life A fish without water Without you where will I be? A devotee cannot even imagine his existence, without the Divine. It is so intoxicating. The intoxication never reduces. It is such an addiction. It is hard to put into words. Without you, where will I be? Eyes without sight, ears that cannot hear, a tongue that cannot taste. I can go on adding. Only a devo...

Ashtavakra says that you become established, not in so many lifetimes, but right now, at this very moment. The world has ceased to exist for you in that limitation. Your world has expanded and become bigger. This is very beautiful and could be used as a technique.

💐☘🌾☘🍀🍁🍀☘🌾☘💐 🌺 ASHTAVAKRA GITA🌺 🌿Chapter - 18🌿 ~ Be Happy And Dispassionate ~ 🌱 Day - 105 🌱 💐☘🌾☘🍀🍁🍀☘🌾☘💐 वासना एव संसार इति सर्वा विमुञ्ज ताः । तत्त्यागो वासनात्यागात् स्थितिरद्य यथा तथा ॥ Drop these impressions of the past experiences with different people. They may have been wonderful. They may have seemed to be your soulmate for so many lifetimes! You may never felt like that with anybody else before. When you talk of your soulmates, you talk in terms of lifetimes; not today! The mind goes on empty talk. It's the vasana (your expectations) that propel you. There is no weight behind them. Even when you tell somebody you love them, make sure that you are not saying out of your vasana, your own impressions, your own cravings for some joy. You say that you love somebody. But do you...
