Vivekananda on MEDITATION
MEDITATION is the only thing
which takes you nearer to REALITY
Vivekananda on SILENCE
Do not spend
your energy in talking,
but meditate in silence and
become a dynamo of
SPIRITUALITY


The greatest help to spiritual life is
MEDITATION
In meditation, we divest
ourselves of all material
conditions and feel our
DIVINE nature.
We do not depend upon
any external help in
meditation.

The goal of mankind is
KNOWLEDGE
Knowledge can only
be got in one way,
the way of experience through
MEDITATION and
AWARENESS in life;
there is no other way
to know.
You create Your own realitY
We are what our
thoughts have made us.
So take care about
what you think.

When an idea
exclusively occupies the
mind, it is transformed
into an actual physical
or mental state.
Cultivate your
mind through
MEDITATION
Process of Meditation
Sit comfortably
Clasp your hands
Cross your legs/feet
Close your eyes
Observe your easy, natural, soft,
tender BREATH
No chanting
No visualization
No holding of breath
If any thoughts wander, just bring
your focus back to the breath
Soul - experience
You have to grow from inside out.
No one can teach you.
No one can make you Spiritual.
There is no other teacher but
your own Soul.

Listen to the soul during MEDITATION
Kingdom of god is within us
The moment I have
realized God sitting in the
temple of every human
body, the moment I stand
in reverence before every
human being and see God
in him - that moment I am
free from bondage,
everything that binds
vanishes, and I am free.
Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
That knowledge which purifies
the mind and heart alone is true
knowledge, all else is only a
negation of knowledge.

MEDITATION alone purifies
the mind and heart.
Do an INNER journey
to find the TRUE Knowledge
that can be found within.
Few more from RK Paramahamsa
As one thinks, so does one become
(You create your own reality)
As long as I live, so long do I learn
(Learn from every moment and every one)
Do yourself what you wish others to do
A jar kept in water is full of water inside and outside.
Thus the soul immersed in God sees the all-pervading
Spirit within and without.
(Such an experience can be obtained only through
MEDITATION)
Sarada Devi
Whatever you yearn for, that you will get
The purpose of one's life is fulfilled only when
one is able to give joy to another. "
Do not look for faults in others, or your own
eyes will become faulty
The aim of life is to realize God and remain
immersed in contemplation of Him.
Self-Realization / God-Realization is possible
only through MEDITATION
