Jack n Jill… & the Spiritual Pill




(Cick on the image to have enlarged view)



Statistics say that nearly 70 million people all over the globe are facing the music of eating disorders. 1 in 5 females are suffering from such disordered eating. What more, around 24 millions of Americans are fighting tooth and nail with this problem!





So, you can see it’s just an unchecked eating approach or undisciplined practice! It’s indeed an epidemic, which has swept away the present day bustling and faddish society. Symptoms are quite apparent– Acidity! Gastroenteritis! Frequent cramps! Upset stomach! Dyspepsia! Obesity!



Really, if Shakespeare had to write a novel in the present era, he would have posed a different gridlock situation: ‘What to eat, what not to eat?’ Also, ‘When to eat, when not to eat?’



Is there a key to this behavioural lock? …Indeed there is!




Spiritual Pill for Eating Disorders



Patient: Swami ji, why eating disorder? Obesity?...
Swami: Dear, only two bases are there– ‘Lack of self-control’ and ‘Unstable intellect’! Lord Krishna says– “Those who are deluded and cling to sensual pleasures have misled intellect. They lack: ‘Vyasayatmika buddhi’. They are not established in the self with concentrated fixity.” (Gita- 2/44)
Patient: But Swami ji, I can’t help. I unconsciously get pulled to the yummy foodstuffs; get deluded by personal and social conditionings.
Swami: That’s exactly the symptom of two above-mentioned spiritual ailments.
Patient: Any cure?
Swami: Sure! ‘Yogastha kuru karmani sang tyaktva’ (Gita 2/48)– Being fixed in Yoga and having abandoned all attachments, do thy actions.
Patient: What’s Yoga?
Swami: It’s the divine union of lower self to the higher one!
Patient: How to accomplish this union?
Swami: For union, foremost condition is to have face-to-face encounter between the ‘self’ of both order: lower and higher. Let your lower self commune with your higher self through meditation (based on Brahm Gyan).
Patient: Come on, Swami ji! Just a petty eating disorder and such an outsized pill– Brahm Gyan! Perception of higher Self! Are you kidding?
Swami: That’s another delusion! Eating disorder is not a petty one। The rasa/raga of taste is the most difficult roadblock to crossover. The Lord says– ‘Rasa varjam rasoayasya param drishtva nivartaty,’ meaning by, ‘rasa’ ceases only when Supreme (Higher Self) is seen or perceived. And, on perceiving the Higher Self, once you get tuned to it– you are bestowed with higher intellect and stronger Will-power to say ‘No!’ for whatever and whenever required.



**************************************


The Sure-Shot Remedy for all ailments!

Men of wisdom say that cure lies in recharging the discharged enthusiasm, will-power, and spirit. And, to recharge these, the only effective medium is ‘Brahm Gyan’.

Brahm Gyan :
: An eternal science – Practical Spirituality

: An age-less technique of meditation
: Opening of the Third Eye, a subtle gateway to the inner world

: Bestows first-hand experience of the luminous self within

Scientific outlook of Brahm Gyan:




Beta: 14 – 30 Hz., Highly Alert
Alpha: 8 – 14 Hz., Relaxed
Theta: 4 – 8 Hz., Drowsiness
Delta: 0.5 – 4 Hz., Dreamful Sleep


In the course of the day, our brain is continuously at play.

It emits various brain waves ranging from

BETA --> ALPHA --> THETA --> DELTA.


In a way, a considerable amount of energy gets dissipated. Only in deep dreamless sleep, this exhausted energy bank gets replenished.



Brahm Gyan’ meditation is the portal to get transported to the same resourceful state of being.







During the silent hours of Brahm Gyan’ meditation, one attains a perfect state of absorption & thoughtlessness similar to that of deep sleep. At this point, the activity of Pineal Gland gets stimulated manifold. The gland then secrets various feel-good hormones like melatonin serotonin, cortisol, etc. These hormones, in turn, energize & vitalize us thoroughly to bestow healthy body, peaceful mind & awakened soul. Thus,



Brahm Gyan’ meditation =
(Self-discipline + Right perception + Wisdom + Courage + Discrimination) Youth.





Here is a beautiful quote from our books of wisdom – the Vedas for all our young brothers & sisters:



Yuvaaku Shachinaam.
Yuvaaku Sumatinaam.


Jo apni indriyon va mann ka sangathan kare,
wahi yuva hai!

It's my Burden,Only Mine!


Yeah! We have lots of reponsiblities on our tender shoulders. If only some miracle were to happen and the load would vanish!Or a kind soul was to appear from somewhere and say, "Come, give me that big one and you rest. Rest till you are rejuvenated and desire to rest no more. Until you ask me to give you the load back, I will carry it for you and then when you ask me for a part of the load, I will give you just that. I will give you only a part of the load, so that you are not overloaded, tired or frustrated."


Ah! What a blissful thought... Very comfortable indeed! But the only challenge is even though there is someone who can help us, we are not in a position to hold that helping hand. The very moment we loosen our burden, a fear grips us. The heart starts beating loudly. Something in us stops us. Blood rushes to the head... 'Am I doing the right thing? How can I... How can I give my burden to someone else? What if he forsakes me? I will be doomed...Naah..it's my burden!...


What an irony! We would prefer carrying the loads and loads of burden throughout our lives rather than entrusting it to the all powerful hands of God. Think of it; towards whom are we showing distrust...? Even being aware of His strength, we fail to unburden ourselves fully at His feet. Why? Are we seriously lacking something in ourselves? Yes, it' s ...

गुरु क्यों ओर कैसा?



विज्ञान ने भी कहा - गुरु होना ज़रूरी है!



'आध्यात्मिक गुरु! सत्गुरु! स्पीरिच्युल टीचर! बताइए, ये शब्द सुनकर आपके दिल ओर दिमाग में किसकि छवि उभरती है?' -यह सवाल लेकर 'अखण्ड ज्ञान' की टीम ने हाल ही में एक सर्वे किया। सर्वे के लिए चुना एक कैम्पस एरिया। यहाँ हम अलग-अलग सब्जैक्ट्स के लैक्चरारॉ, प्रोफेसरों और स्टूडेंट्स के पास पहुँचे और उनकी राय जाननी चाही। लगभग 76% लोग एक ही मत के पाले में खड़े मिले। उनका कहना था -'गुरु शब्द सुनते ही हमारे अन्दर एक बाबा की इमेज आकार ले लेती है, जो हज़ारों लोगों के सामने मंच पर बैठकर सत्संग करते या भजन गाते हैं। शान्ति, संतोष, मोह, माया की बातें करतें हैं। कोई मंत्र-तंत्र या तरीका देकर मोक्ष-मुक्ति का फॉर्मूला बताते हैं।...'


सर्वे के ये रीज़ल्ट्स जब सामने आए, तो हम चौंक गए। हमारी पढ़ी-लिखी सोसाइटी के इतने बड़े वर्ग के सामने 'गुरु-सत्ता' की ऐसी आधी-अधूरी और एकतरफा छवि! कौन सा ग्रन्थ कहता है की पूर्ण गुरु ऊँचे मंच तक सीमित सिर्फ़ एक सत्संग-वाचक है? उनका पोर्टफोलियो इंसान की सिर्फ़ स्पिरिचुअल लाइफ (आध्यात्मिक ज़िन्दगी) और मृत्यु के बाद के सफर को सजाने-सँवारने का है?...


स्वयं श्री गुरु आशुतोष महाराज जी के कक्ष में एक कांफ्रेस हुई थी, जिसमें समाज के कुछ नामी-गिरामी चिकित्सक(doctors), मनोवैज्ञानिक(psychologists), फिलॉस्फी के प्रोफेसर(master of philosophy) और उनके युवा स्टूडेंट्स आए थे। उन्हें श्री महाराज जी ने उन्हीं की आधुनिक शैली में गुरु की भूमिका समझाई थी। उसी कांफ्रेंस के कुछ अंश हैं...
