Quote by Shunya

“Desires are like coil springs. When we try to handle them at the mind level, we either suppress them too much or stretch them too much. In both the cases, a lot of stress and negative energy accumulates that harms us.”

“Virus that doesn’t belong to your body, and people that aren’t meant for you create diseases and problems in life. To counter them, you bring a solution. If the problem doesn’t belong to you, the solution doesn’t belong to you either. So solution is another problem in disguise. If you enjoy the process of finding solutions, it’s OK. But if you really want to eradicate a problem, you must eradicate it from the root so that even the memory of the problem doesn’t stay with you.”

“Imagine that God or Supreme Power came before you in the form of a fragrance which is a mixture of all the fragrances of the universe. But your mind will only pick up fragrances you are familiar with and say, “I know the fragrance of God. It’s like fragrance of my child... my lover ... my parents... my childhood memories ...” The God is right before you but your mind is recognizing only small parts of Him. To experience Him fully, you have to rise above the level of mind, and then rise above the level of soul, and finally be the God or Paramatma.”

“When you throw a stone to get a mango from tree, it’s a normal thingcause and effect. What if you just mimicked the hand gesture without actually throwing the stone and still get the mango? That is magical. That is how this world feels when you enjoy it from the level of soul. Maya (Space-Time) doesn’t want you to be at the level of soul. She suggests, “You can have this kind of experience at mind level too. You can get reaction from people just by doing acting, just by faking the action.” Since we lack the soul-level magical experience, we try to emulate it at mind level by faking things. Let aside earning money, even the act of love becomes an exercise in fakeness. The search of that magical experience at mind level often turns into lust and greed.”

“In a few decades, perhaps people will get attached to social media profiles just like you are attached to your body mind now. Then Gurus will have to remind them, “Profile is nothing but some pictures and data stored in servers owned by social media companies. You don’t own it. You just access it. Don’t bother about likes and followers. You are not a profile. you are a body-mind!”
