Vedanta: Silence mind at work

Article by Yogi Ashwini in Speaking tree http://www.speakingtree.in/public/spiritual-articles/lifestyle/vedanta-silence-mind-at-work The  mind  and brain control the human body and they, in turn, are controlled by the desire of the soul. Just close your eyes and see what is going on inside the brain.… You will find so many thoughts related to children, family, spouse, business, emotions.…     All the thoughts indicate desire of the soul. And it is because of these thoughts or desires that you are unable to go beyond human existence. All that is physical is temporary and what is temporary is painful.… The pain that you experience day in and day out, is in the pursuit of these desires. When the mind is engaged in worldly thoughts, you cannot think of anything beyond,… because the mind can only think of one thing at a time.Thoughts of the physical  world  tie you to the physical world, your thoughts are dissipated and the force of your con...

The Sound of Silence

Yogi Ashwini 's article in  The Navhind Times BUZZ Section  today... "When creation began there was silence. Thereafter manifested sound and from that sound emerged all things physical. The sound was Om, also called the brahmnaad. Recently, researchers at the Sheffield University, UK recorded the sound emitted by the sun. It is the same as the brahmnaad described by our Vedic seers. Every sound is an energy unleashed and it holds the power to alter creation around you, including your own body.."

The Womb of Silence

When creation began there was silence. Thereafter manifested sound and from that emerged all things physical. The sound was Om—the brahmnaad.  Recently when researchers at Sheffield University, UK, recorded the sound emitted by the sun, it was found to be the same as Om as described by Vedic seers. Every sound is an energy unleashed. It holds the power to alter the creation around you, including your own body. There are certain sounds that you can hear and while some others are outside your audible range. Among the former, some please you, while certain others are disturbing.  Nonetheless, all of them have a specific effect on your being, some which can be perceived immediately; others become evident later, depending upon the frequency of sound and at which you exist. This explains why the same beats of drum may be music to a teenager but a source of disturbance for one who has crossed 40 (not in years but in maturity). Yog emphasises the sound of si...

Focus Single-pointedly in silence

The mind and the physical brain control the human body. The brain and mind are controlled by the desire of the soul. Just close your eyes and see what is going on inside the brain Give it two minutes. You will find so many thoughts running inside you related to children, family, spouse, business, emotions... All these thoughts indicate desire of the soul. And it is because of these thoughts or desires that you are unable to go beyond human existence. All that is physical is temporary and what is temporary is painful hence the pain that you experience day-in-and-day-out, is in the pursuit of these desires. When the mind is engaged in worldly thoughts you cannot think of anything beyond because the mind can only do one and think of one thing at a time. Ayurveda says that you have five senses and of those only one sense is active at one time. They alternate so fast that you cannot make out, so when you are thinking, your thought process has to be one. Our bodies are programmed to achieve ...

Quiet, Please...

When Creation happened, there was silence. Thereafter, sound got manifested, and from that sound, emerged all things physical. The sound was "AUM", also called the Brahmnaad. Recently, researchers at Sheffield University, UK, recorded the sound emitted by the Sun , and it was found to be the same as the brahmnaad described by Vedic seers. Every sound is energy unleashed and it contains the power to alter creation around you, including your own body. There are certain sounds that you can hear and certain others that are outside your audible range. Among the sounds that you can hear, some please you and some leave you disturbed. Nonetheless, all these sounds have a specific effect on your being; some of these effects you can perceive immediately, while others become evident later, depending upon the frequency of sound and the frequency at which you exist. Similarly, the same sound can generate different effects on different people, again depending upon their individual fr...
