In the path of devotion yogis learn to hear the soundless sound, the voice of the silence, the perennial music going on in every human heart. But how many of us hear that music. This devotional music has a profound influence in directing the emotional life of an aspirant toward ecstasy and enables him to enjoy the highest moment. This is called meditation in music. No self-effort is necessary - but that which does seem to be necessary in this path is to kindle a flame of love for the Beloved.

"Let us clearly understand that what we think to be the lowest is the other pole of the highest. The peak of a mountain and the valley around its base are not two separate things, they are part and parcel of the same phenomenon. The deep valley has been caused by the rising mountain, and in the same way the mountain has been possible because of the valley, One cannot be without the other. Or can it? Linguistically the mountain and the valley are two, but existentially they are two poles of the same thing"

"Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like."
This quote by Lao Tzu emphasizes the concept of embracing the inevitability of change in life. Rather than resisting or fighting against the ever-changing nature of existence, Lao Tzu encourages us to accept and flow with it. By not clinging onto our expectations or desires, we can avoid unnecessary suffering and find peace in embracing the present moment. It reminds us to let go of control and allow life to unfold naturally, understanding that things will progress and evolve as they are meant to. This quote encourages us to adopt a more flexible and non-resistant approach towards life, fostering a sense of harmony and acceptance in our journey.

According to the Dalai Lama, being happy is the sole purpose of human existence. 😊
Therefore, the desire to attain happiness is the most natural of all human aspirations.
Inner comfort and emotional contentment are far more important than external prosperity. The source of happiness lies within us, not outside. 🌻
But if someone is mentally and emotionally dissatisfied, unhappy in their soul, then physical comfort won't bring any relief. 🤔
When we are overwhelmed by mental suffering - heavy thoughts or inner discontentment - physical comfort simply ceases to exist. 🧘♂️💭

When a person speaks, you can see in the breath etheric, astral, and mental elements.
Science has not yet researched the human breath. In coming decades, an electronic analyzer will be built to analyze the human breath and identify the etheric, astral, and mental pollutions spreading not only into the aura of the person but also into Space. Thus, we are told, we spread subtle diseases through our breath, or we radiate healing currents through our breaths and words or through speech.

"Abstinence also has an effect on the aura. When the sexual force is sublimated, it increases the strength and beauty of the aura. Sexual energy is creative. When sublimated, it first becomes part of the etheric body, then becomes part of the astral and mental bodies.
Sexual energy makes the aura highly charged and magnetic. Healing energy increases in the aura if one abstains for a long time. Actually, our thoughts and emotions are the children of our sublimated sexual energy. Mental fire is a higher correspondence of sexual energy. This creative energy travels all the way to the Chalice and accumulates in certain petals.
A beautiful poem, painting, or other work of art is sublimated sexual energy, molded by a vision. Sexual energy increases in the aura when two people love each other greatly, but abstain from sex for a while. The two auras begin to interchange energy, and thus the love energy between them deepens and sublimation takes place. In addition to this, one feels balance, stability, and equilibrium in his nature, and he conducts his life with wisdom and grace."

"Wherever you are in life, you are experiencing a phase. Just like the moon, you are on a journey from dark to light and back again, treading the path from inward journey to outward expression. And for whatever phase you may be in, there is magic to be discovered―magic that can transform your life.
In Lunar Alchemy, Shaheen Miro―a much-loved intuitive and energy worker―offers a new way of moving through the world. As you read this book, Miro will teach you how to embrace the moon’s progression through the sky. Something in you will be awakened, a strange stirring of magic that has always been there. Each phase of the moon, writes Shaheen, is an invitation to fully participate in your life experience and to ultimately shine your light in full glory. The practices you will find here are available to anyone who is open to the prospect of awakening magic in their life for introspection, radical self-care, and personal empowerment.
Shaheen shares here his profound and personal understanding of the moon and the ways in which she can enrich our lives. By aligning yourself with the moon, you ultimately learn your own ebb and flow of lunar energy and take up this path for personal transformation."

Goddess of wild and forest who seems to vanish from sight.
How is it that you seek not the village? Are you not afraid?
What time the grasshopper replies and swells the shrill cicada's voice,
Seeming to sound with tinkling bells, the Lady of the Wood exults.
And, yonder, cattle seem to graze, what seems a dwelling-place appears:
Or else at evening the Lady of the Forest seems to free the wagons.
Here one is calling to his cow, another there has felled a tree:
At evening the dweller in the wood fancies that someone has screamed.
The Goddess never slays, unless some murderous enemy approach.
Man eats of savory fruit and then takes, even as he wills, his rest.
Now have I praised the Forest Queen, sweet-scented, redolent of balm,
The Mother of all woodland things, who tills not but has stores of food.
Rig Veda, Hymn 10.146 Aranyani (The Forest Woman)

Book: "Freedom from the Known"
Quote: "It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society."
Explanation: In this quote, Krishnamurti is highlighting the idea that conforming to societal norms and expectations does not necessarily equate to true mental and emotional well-being. He suggests that true freedom and inner peace can only be achieved by breaking free from the constraints and limitations imposed by society. The quote encourages readers to question the values, beliefs, and patterns of behavior that are accepted as normal, and to instead strive for personal growth and self-awareness outside of societal conditioning.
