Those who engage in yogic practices reach the breathless state of

trance (Sam|dhi) by offering inhalation into exhalation and

exhalation into inhalation as a sacrifice (by using short breathing

Kriya techniques). (4.29)

A sage is, in truth, liberated by renouncing all sense enjoyments,

fixing the eyes and the mind (at an imaginary black dot) between

the eye brows, equalizing the breath moving through the nostrils

, keeping the senses, mind, and intellect

under control, having salvation (Mukti) as the prime goal, and

becoming free from lust, anger, and fear. (5.27-28)

———————-

One should sit by holding the waist, spine, chest, neck, and head

erect, motionless and steady; fix the eyes and the mind steadily on

the tip (or front) of the nose without looking around; make your

mind serene and fearless, practice celibacy; have the mind under

control, think of Me, and have Me as the supreme goal.

(6.13-14)

By contemplating Me with an unwavering mind that is disciplined by the practice of meditation, one attains the Supreme Being, O Arjuna. (8.08)

Whatever object one remembers as one leaves the body at the end of life, one attains that object, O Arjuna, because of the constant thought of that object (one remembers that object at the end of life and achieves it).

Insights:

One more master piece explaining human psyche! You become one with whom you�long for, all the time! The like attracts the like and repels the unlike. One�s destiny is determined by the predominant thought we dwell into. Life should be molded in such a way that one should always understand and remember the purpose of life.

�Take up one idea.

Make that one idea your life �

Think of it,

Dream of it,

Live on idea.

Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone.

This is the way to success!�

~ Swami Vivekanand

�What’s the most resilient parasite?

An Idea.

A single idea from the human mind can build cities.

An idea can transform the world and rewrite all the rules.�

~ Movie �Inception�

Death (of moment, sleep, and life) is a new beginning. Focus on single idea. The kernel. The vital. Attain it.

The one who remembers Me exclusively, even while leaving the body at the time of death, attains Me; there is no doubt about it.

The living entity (Jiva) is the subtle body consisting of six sensory faculties, intellect, ego, and five vital forces called Pranas. Jivatma is defined as the subtle body or Jiva sustained by atma. Jivatma is also called the individual soul enshrined in the physical body. The subtle body keeps the physical body active and alive by operating the organs of perception and action.
