RE: Sleeping through life

in OCD • 5 years ago

I can understand this situation of insomnia very clearly. The restless mind keeps on running aimlessly and give the most painful experiences. Until we don't learn how to keep it align with the cosmos, it will always work against us. Only Yoga is the way to do it. No other scientific or technological advancement will be able to solve this rather they will increase it. Take the example of smartphones, they were invented for the better connectivity and data sharing but now they have taken the lives under their control. This is really painful. I wish you just start learning about the Patanjali Yoga Sutras. This is the only way to be liberated.

    Glad it works for you. For other people it could be something else. There are thousands of paths to liberation. Actually writing seems to be the path for @tarazkp.

      Yoga is one path, there are many. The meditation for some is the catalyst of suffering for another and the trick is to find what works for you.

        Yoga in the pure form works for all. Yoga is not about any postures or distorted shapes. It has be learnt from very renowned and well trained person that is why it is must to have the Guru. These days Yoga is totally distorted and big institutions have changed it totally. You can see very strange things like Beer Yoga, Cold Yoga on the internet and people are mad about them. Yoga has lost its meaning completely in the west. But in India, it is still alive in pure form and csn be learnt through a Guru. But so called Godman have done a great harm to it and this is reason it doesn't work for some people because the ones who teach it, they really don't know the pure form and how it works. I only recommend you atleast you should try to find a good master and understand the true philosophy behind it then you will be able to grasp what your Guru will give you. The only difficult thing is to find a Guru or master in this time.

          uestion rightly, all questions are answered. But we don't know how to ask the right question. To ask the right question demands a great deal of intelligence and sensitivity. Here is a question, a fundamental question: is life a torture? It is, as it is; and man has lived in this torture centuries upon centuries, from ancient history to the present day, in agony, in despair, in sorrow; and he doesn't find a way out of it. Therefore he invents gods, churches, all the rituals, and all that nonsense, or he escapes in different ways. What we are trying to do, during all these discussions and talks here, is to see if we cannot radically bring about a transformation of the mind, not accept things as they are, nor revolt against them. Revolt doesn't answer a thing. You must understand it, go into it, examine it, give your heart and your mind, with everything that you have, to find out a way of living differently. That depends on you, and not on someone else, because in this there is no teacher, no pupil; there is no leader; there is no guru; there is no Master, no Saviour. You yourself are the teacher and the pupil; you are the Master; you are the guru; you are the leader; you are everything. And to understand is to transform what is.
          I think that will be enough, won't it?

            Yup very true. I have read the J Krishnamurti a lot and he says that we all will be liberated and find the salvation. But that time comes in a million Years. If we can wait for that much time and go on suffer it is alright. But who knows when will this time come. Through Yoga you can know your true-self or what he has called as you are the guru, you are the master. We all are the same at the level of consciousness. The only difference is the extent to which one is aware of.
