Attachment

Krishna tells Arjuna that we have a tremendous amount of attachment to this world of material and mental structure. We keeps searching happiness out there. But how can we find a thing which has never been there? That is why we live a miserable life. But when we explore it within, all the passionate energy is channeled into awakening of wisdom. That state when realized is marked by permanent happiness, a calm state, having abundant vitality and the concentration of genius.

But even this is not the end. Its goal is to return to evolution of unitary state. In that state mind is still and the consciousness rests in pure, unitary state, which is a state of permanent bliss. This is what the purpose of meditation is..

Spiritual quotes

Power

There is a power that knows
how to take care of everything,
and will also take care of your body,
so-called,
if you stop thinking.

But as long as you think I am the body,
then you have to take care of your body,
and watch it, and feed it aspirin and cold remedy
and proper foods and do all kinds of strange things to your body.

But your body and your mind are not your friends.
They come under a law of their own.

Did your body ask you today, this morning,
when it's time to get up? It got up.
Did it ask your permission?
It does what it wants.

You have nothing to do with the body and the mind.

When you become depressed,
does your mind ask you if it can become depressed?
It does what it wants.

When you become fearful,
does your mind ask your permission?
It does what it wants.

When your body catches a cold,
does it ask you if it can catch a cold?
It does what it wants.

But what have you got to do with those things?
