Hari Om
Monday is AUM-day; in search of meditation
A series of words and imagery (taken from the Vivekachoodaamani) to be used as both a guide to and item for meditation. These will be advanced concepts and assume that the reader has been following the teachings here consistently in order to gain maximum benefit from the contemplation.
For all living creatures, human birth is indeed rare; much more difficult it is to attain full Manhood; rarer than this is a sattvic attitude in life. Even after gaining all these rare chances, to have steadfastness on the path of spiritual activity as explained in Vedic literature is yet rarer; much more so to have a correct knowledge of the deep significances of the scriptures. Discrimination between the Real and unreal, a personal experience of spiritual glory and ultimately to get fully established in the Living Consciousness that the Self in me is the Self in all… these come only later on and culminate in one's liberation. This kind of a perfect liberation cannot be had without earned merits of (countless) lives lived intelligently.
