What Is a Mantra?

December 21st, 2014 | Posted by Jennifer in mantra | meditation | mind | yoga - (0 Comments)

Because these syllabic combinations of sounds to meditate on come from the highest, deepest meditations as a great consciousness sending forth a wave, they are also the best vehicles for meditation because they lead you slowly, gradually, imperceptibly back inward to that level of consciousness. They are the homing pigeons of consciousness. So what is a mantra? … sounds received by the great yogis, great masters in their highest states of medition — their consciousness coming outward and becoming articulate. ~Swami Veda Bharati

Beyond Space and Time

The way is always open to us; we simply need to be still, deeply still–and to turn toward the source of silence within.

Open the Window

As we practice, the conscious effort it takes to concentrate lessens, and we drop into a state of simple and pure awareness—of rest. It is for this that we open the window.

You are searching for enlightenment in the external world, but that is not the way. Are you prepared for the journey from the grossest to the subtlest aspect of your being? Are you competent enough to discipline yourself on all levels? Can you practice? Are you prepared to know life within and without? If you are, come along. ~Swami Rama, Samadhi: The Highest State of Wisdom

Drops in the Ocean of Bliss

The great Shankaracharya says that everyone is ananda. Being of bliss … ananda, purnam, completeness, bliss, totality of bliss. … All the pleasures of the world are little sparks of the fire of ananda. All the pleasures of the world are just drops in the ocean of ananda, and every drop is trying to experience what it feels like to be the whole ocean. Every drop that is you and I, every drop is trying to feel, trying to see what it would be like to be the whole ocean of that joy and bliss. ~Swami Veda Bharati, “Yoga Nidra Refined Silence“
