Your desires don’t satiate you, your desires consume you!

"The more desires a person has, the more the thoughts come to him/her to fulfil those desires and thus the person keeps planning and scheming. Thought is also a source of prana because when the thought comes only then you act. Can you do anything without the thought of it coming first? First thought of aeroplane came and then aeroplane was manufactured. Similarly first thought of the atom bomb came and only then it was invented. Every single thing is preceded by its thought.
How would you have made these without the thought of making them?

And these thoughts go right up to the cellular level and thus desires get embedded in each and every cell of your body.There is a very interesting study on this,ie, Consciousness at the level of the cell. A person named William Sheridan went for a heart transplant and after the operation suddenly he started painting and sketching landscapes and wildlife. He was himself surprised to see this...So later research was done and it was found that the heart given to him belonged to a person who was an artist. (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-381589/The-art-transplant.html)

So this shows us that the cellular memory is present inside every cell of your body. Any desire (which may be as trivial as the desire to lose weight) will be present in every cell of your body. These desires are the reason why you go round and round and round lifetime after lifetime and these desires only lead you to your downfall. Eg desire to lose weight makes you take medicines, go on a diet, become anorexic and ultimately become the cause of your own destruction.
Depending on your desires you catch thoughts from environment and that thought goes into every cell of your body and gets embedded in every cell. After this agni gives shakti to that thought so that the thought can be manifested on physical level. And ultimately this leads to ageing of cell (as explained above).That it why we say- You don’t consume food, the food consumes you. …..Your desires don’t satiate you, your desires consume you! Your desires, (eating, drinking, getting a big car or house or losing or gaining weight) whatever, howsoever small they may be, every moment takes you towards ageing. It is these desires which mislead you from your path or the truth because they make you work then. They form a veil over you and cloud your vision and as a result what you see is what your desires make you see!"

difference between ‘meditation’ and dhyan?

By
"The difference between meditation and dhyan is that between shoonya (this is not to be confused with shoonyata, here it refers literally to zero) and poorna . Dhyan is state of complete awareness-inside and outside- it is a Poorna state, whereas meditation is a big zero. In meditation what a person does is he/she thinks of a certain thing and therefore it is basically no better than day dreaming, where as in dhyan you are aware of everything .Swami Satyananand Paramhans (Bihar School of Yog) described meditation as a ‘moodh ’ state or a lower state. Now a days, the subject of yog and tantra have been totally misrepresented. I was watching a programme on a ‘spiritual’ channel and there I saw a very elderly woman sharing her thoughts on ‘spirituality’. So I thought let me listen into what she has to say. After her discourse she made the viewers do dhyan and sat herself in dhyan as well. When it was over, she came out with some sort of jerk in her body. Anybody who knows the st...

'Vairagya'

By
We all know that we come in this world alone and go back alone. We will not be accompanied by anyone, no matter how close or dear we are to them, or they to us. Pause a minute and think: A majority of our problems stem from our near and dear ones. That is, relatives, immediate family, enemies and friends, not from someone unknown. You will also find that the rootcause of arguments, fights, emotional turmoil, congestions, broken relationships and business losses are also these very people. So it is safe to conclude that for the greater part of our lives we get troubled, not by absolute strangers but by people who are known to us. Your relationship with every individual is a result of one basic principle — as you sow so shall you get. It is a mere give and take. This give and take is a payback of our karma from our previous births and from this lifetime. You get associated with people because they need something from you and you need something from them too. Without any level of dependen...

THE YOG OF TIME TRAVEL

By
Time travel has remained one of the most intriguing subjects for physicists of all times. Scientists have spent their lives racking their brains on how to make it possible, yet as per modern sciences it remains a dream. On the other hand, the Vedic rishis had already decoded the mystery of time. Time, as per the Vedic rishis, is nothing but the distance between two thoughts. That is why in the state of dhyan, time does not exist as at that point thoughts cease to exist. The higher the state of evolution or stillness, slower is the passage of time for that being. It is said that in a blink of Lord Brahma’s eye a yuga passes by, and a blink of Lord Vishnu’s eye sees a mahayug pass by. Through yogic practices like Sanatan Kriya , one is able to still ones thoughts and hence become independent of time. The yogi can then travel in time — go forward or backward. Travelling in time, in fact, is widely used in yog for the purpose of evolution and for aiding the creation. Yogis visit past liv...
