Mental conditioning & power of Mantras
Thread 👇

The mind, like the body needs right conditioning. Just as the body requires proper regimen and schedule of exercise, food, and sleep, similarly the mind requires a regimen of taking in impressions, mental exercise, and rest.

Equanimous Mind # 3 Take food as medicine, eat only when hungry, and eat only as is required. Do NOT use your stomach as garbage bin. Be satisfied with what you get - and have gratitude.

[The Unobvious Truth @unobvioustruth]

For an equanimous mind #2 - Never criticize anyone. Either speak about their good points, or stay silent.

[The Unobvious Truth @unobvioustruth]

For Equanimous Mind #1 - Avoid arguments with wise people. Understand the difference between arguments and conversation. Later is done to gain knowledge, former to prove yourself right.

[Nisargadatta Maharaj @Nisargadatta_M]

How does personality come into being? By memory. By identifying the present with the past and projecting it into the future. Think of yourself as momentary, without past and future and your personality dissolves.

[The Unobvious Truth @unobvioustruth]

Mind is hardly capable of distinguishing what enhances the joy in life from what leads to sorrow.

The entire struggle of life is transcending this myopia.

You'll be free indeed not when your days are without care,
Nor your nights without grief,
But rather when these things bind up your life, and yet you rise above them...
Unbound.

-Khalil Gibran

[Ashtavakra Gita @Ashtavakra_Gita]

When was that age or time of life when the dualism of extremes did not exist for men? Abandoning them, a person who is happy to take whatever comes attains perfection.

Become so conscious of God that you know He is the only Reality. The more you meditate, the more that thought will be paramount. - #ParamahansaYogananda

Totally! Yoga is not just some postures and breathing practice. It’s a way of life starting with imbibing sattvic values to tapas or self control, finally culminating into Samadhi. It’s a journey from individual to whole - the perfect unity!

[Dr David Frawley @davidfrawleyved]

Yoga begins with sattvic values and a sattvic lifestyle. This starts with ahimsa and satya in the Yamas, and Niyamas with tapas as self-discipline and svadhyaya as introspection and study of Yoga Shastras. This purifies body, prana and mind for all Yoga practices.

It is true what they say:

“You are what you think.”

If you think you are bound you are bound.

If you think you are free you are free.
