One may forget to eat, but do not forget to meditate.

 With meditation comes spiritual growth. Spiritual growth makes you integrated and blesses you with all round success. Once a spiritual aspirant establishes himself completely, as a pure spiritual being, can he bring about radical change in the society around him.

How to recognize a Sahaja Yogi?

Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 6, Verse 8

ज्ञानविज्ञानतृप्तात्मा कूटस्थो विजितेन्द्रिय: |

युक्त इत्युच्यते योगी समलोष्टाश्मकाञ्चन: || 8|| 

The yogi who are satisfied by knowledge and discrimination, and have conquered their senses, remain undisturbed in all circumstances. They see everything—dirt, stones, and gold—as the same.

Jñāna, or knowledge, is the theoretical understanding obtained by listening to the Guru and from the study of the scriptures. Vijñāna is the realization of that knowledge as an internal awakening and wisdom from within. The intellect of the advanced yogi becomes illumined by both jñāna and vijñāna. Equipped with wisdom, the yogi sees all material objects as modifications of the material energy. Such a yogi does not differentiate between objects based on their attractiveness to the self. The enlightened yogi sees all things in their relationship with God. Since the material energy belongs to God, all things are meant for his service.

The word kuṭastha refers to one who distances the mind from the fluctuating perceptions of senses in contact with the material energy, neither seeking pleasurable situations nor avoiding unpleasurable ones. Vijitendriya is one who has subjugated the senses. The word yukt means one who is in constant communion with the Supreme. Such person begins tasting the divine bliss of God, and hence becomes a tṛiptātmā, or one fully satisfied by virtue of realized knowledge.

Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 6, Verse 9

सुहृन्मित्रार्युदासीनमध्यस्थद्वेष्यबन्धुषु |
साधुष्वपि च पापेषु समबुद्धिर्विशिष्यते || 9||

The yogis look upon all—well-wishers, friends, foes, the pious, and the sinners—with an impartial intellect. The yogi who is of equal intellect toward friend, companion, and foe, neutral among enemies and relatives, and impartial between the righteous and sinful, is considered to be distinguished among humans.

It is the nature of the human mind to respond differently to friends and foes. But an elevated yogi’s nature is different. Endowed with realized knowledge of God, the elevated yogi see the whole creation in its unity with God. Thus, they are able to see all living beings with equality of vision. This parity of vision is also of various levels:

“All living beings are divine souls, and hence parts of God.” Thus, they are viewed as equal. ātmavat sarva bhūteṣhu yaḥ paśhyati sa paṇḍitaḥ “A true Pundit is one who sees everyone as the soul, and hence similar to oneself.”

Higher is the vision: “God is seated in everyone, and hence all are equally respect worthy.”

At the highest level, the yogi develops the vision: “Everyone is the form of God.” The Vedic scriptures repeatedly state that the whole world is a veritable form of God: īśhāvāsyam idam sarvaṁ yat kiñcha jagatyāṁ jagat (Īśhopaniṣhad 1)[v2] “The entire universe, with all its living and non-living beings is the manifestation of the Supreme Being, who dwells within it.” puruṣha evedaṁ sarvaṁ (Puruṣh Sūktam)[v3] “God is everywhere in this world, and everything is his energy.” Hence, the highest yogi sees everyone as the manifestation of God. Endowed with this level of vision, Hanuman says: sīyā rāma maya saba jaga jānī (Ramayan)[v4] “I see the face of Sita Ram in everyone.”

The State of Thoughtless Awareness

 Thoughtless Awareness

"निर्विचारिता बहुत ही सुंदर अवस्था है, जिसमें आप सबको रहना चाहिये। इस अवस्था में न तो आप किसी पर प्रभुत्व जमाते हैं और न आप किसी प्रकार का समझौता करते हैं। आप बस अपने पैरों पर खड़े होकर निश्चित रूप से यह जानते हैं कि आपको न तो किसी भी प्रकार का कोई विचार डिगा नहीं सकता है और न कोई आप पर किसी प्रकार का प्रभुत्व जमा सकता है। आप पूरी तरह से एक स्वतंत्र पक्षी की तरह से बन जाते हैं पूर्णतया एक पक्षी की तरह और फिर आपका कार्य सिर्फ उड़ान भरना मात्र रह जाता है...

एक उड़ान निर्विचारिता की ओर...

और दूसरी निर्विकल्प की ओर...

और तीसरी परमात्मा के साक्षात्कार की ओर"।

"मुझे आपसे कुछ नहीं चाहिए, मुझे कुछ भी नहीं चाहिए।

मैं तो केवल ये चाहती हूँ कि आपको मेरी शक्तियाँ प्राप्त हों"। मैं मानती हूँ कि आप पूर्णतया मेरी तरह से नहीं बन सकते हैं परंतु कृपया मेरी सभी शक्तियों को प्राप्त करने का प्रयास करें और ऐसा करना मुश्किल भी नहीं है। यही परमात्मा का साक्षात्कार है। यही श्री शिवजी या सदाशिव को जानना है। शिव के माध्यम से ही आप सदाशिव को जानते हैं। आप किसी परछाई को देखते हैं और उस परछाई से ही आपको पता चल पाता है कि परछाई का मूल स्त्रोत क्या है ? कौन है"?

"इस प्रकार से आप उस अवस्था में पहुँच पाते हैं जहाँ आप सोचते हैं कि आप परमात्मा के साम्राज्य में प्रवेश कर गये हैं या आप परमात्मा को देख सकते हैं, उनका अनुभव कर सकते हैं, उन्हें समझ सकते हैं और उन्हें प्रेम कर सकते हैं"।
