just reading a good book and reflecting on the different tradition's takes on achieving soul realization..so different and seemingly contradictory..only if you don't recognize the different angles on the one truth..

(sorry to get so deep) but i find it fascinating.. just a few tid bits i really enjoyed--

"The man of the Tao remains unknown. In perfect virtue, he produces nothing. ' No Self' is 'true Self' And the greatest man is Nobody"

~Chuang Tzu

““Heaven can be entered only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad and its gate is wide enough for all the multitudes who choose the easy way. But the gateway to divine life is small and narrow. The road is narrow and only a few ever find it.”—Jesus

What does this mean? What’s heaven? Every time Christ talks about heaven he’s talking about divine consciousness, consciousness of God, the state of samadhi (direct experience of your own True Nature). So he’s saying it’s very narrow. That means you’ve got to get your mind down to one point, not even one thought other than God and then you can go through the gate to heaven to the consciousness of God. It’s very narrow, only a few people find it. Where is it? You don’t have to get into the plane. It’s right in you, not even your body. It’s in your mind, the gate to heaven. Heaven itself, God Himself, is right there in your mind but the gate is so narrow because you have to gather all your dissipated thoughts and then the door will open and you will see the blazing light. You’ll go inside and you’ll bathe in that light and you’ll become one with that bliss. But that’s for few people, most are not even concerned about it. So for the multitudes, they are on the broad highway going in the other direction. Not that everybody’s going to go to hell. That’s not the idea. But anything less than that bliss is hell in comparison. Everything else is nothing compared to that overwhelming bliss of God-Realization.”—Swami Paramatmananda, “Talks by Swami Paramatmananda, Vol. 2”, pp. 198-199

"When we meditate, our body remains here but our soul rises above. Naam is like a linking rope that is in His hand. "

"You left your home, family, wife, son and wealth to become an akincana-vaisnava, so what need is there to be attached to a lota?"

-- speaking to his disciple who lost his lota (metal water-pot)

On 19th August, 1969, at an age of 158 years, he let his soul depart from his body at Shri Hanuman Ghat Ashram on the banks of Narmada.

"Knowledge of Self is (the) biggest Gain and forgetting ones' Self is (the) biggest Loss'.

"Do not pay any attention to pain and sorrow. Ignore it, it will disappear"

"Meditation also influences the endocrine system in the body. It regulates and harmonizes the hormonal flow, thus retarding and reversing the aging process by interrupting the mutation of the body cells."

Accepting the (independent) existence of the world you want to attain God - it is not possible. What will happen ? God will come, but you will say that my wife is unwell, let her become well. Do you want to attain God or do you want a healthy wife ? Think

Thus existent, subsistent and value factors correct the exaggerations of each other and of one another. Finally, pure being attains to self-awareness in the Absolute.

"Some people may have fears about working with the Kundalini, but it is absolutely safe to practice Kundalini Maha Yoga under the guidance of a realized teacher."

Firmly abiding as ‘I am I’, without any movement of the mind, is the attainment of Godhood.

'When a drum or a conch or a vina resounds, the particular notes or sounds cannot be distinguished from the wholeness of the great sound, for the individual notes are nothing but indistinguishable components of the overall music. Similarly, all particulars perceived in the waking and dream states are underpinned by the Intelligence or Consciousness which is the very nature of the Atman. So waking and dream states do not exclude the omnipresent Atman; rather, these two states merge into the all-pervading Atman.

Don't rob, Don't kill, Never ever lie

Don't get angry, Don't think negative about others

Don't self praise, Don't tease others

This is the way of self respect, this is the way to get respected by the world.

This is the way of impressing my lord Koodala sangam deva.

To separate our so-called worldly life from our spiritual sadhana in two separate water tight compartments is a delusion.

In between sessions, we must consider that since everything is but our own delusory perception, it is quite pointless to react to ordinary occurrences and activities as if they had real, concrete existence.

do not want fulfillment of your wants/desires and let what God wants happen. .. and God wants that which is happening naturally.

"The majesty of the soil of India is matchless and prodigious. It is Divine. The unique singular feature of this holy land of India is that it fosters and sustains spiritual life. It is a land leading the world in yoga and bhakti."

One iron is used in worship, another in butcher's steel;

The philosopher's stone counts not merit or fault

but turns both to purest gold.
