Review on " Inner Engineering _ A yogi's guide to joy" -Sathguru
Anyone who thinks you need a laugh without reading a humour book. I recommend this book. One of the best piece I read. Here are some of the best points I noted
He mentioned that it's not the positive thinking that is blinding us to proceed further. Positive thinking is limited as it is just the simplified version which is sugarcoating our reality. The true essence is to love. Love as a "human possibility"
The book contains two parts
The first focuses on his personal experience as a young man in search of inner intellectual. Which he disclose his learning. There are also lot of funny stories which he relates to his thought.
Second part talk about body, mind, energy, and joy where he not on relates through the the lens of a yogi but also through rational view.
The moksha or ultimatum
Just like we are enclosed in a box we tend to free ourselves the moment we become conscious. A desire to go out that's how we seek ultimate existence. The human desire to endlessness.
Its all in installments basis when we become conscious we tent to reach the higher level of freedom.
Time for paradigm shift
Past 150 years no royalty has enjoy like we do now. technology has changed everything.
We have everything but still not happy. It's time to look ourself.
If the world doesn't happen the way you want at least your thought and emotion should happen.
No boundary, no burden
"Reaction is enslavement, responsibility is freedom"
Being responsible is taking ownership of life, it's Voyage inward.
Life sense
Whatever you know of the world or yourself is the information you have gathered through five senses.
Indept dimension is known only through looking inward not outward because the essential nature lie in mind and experiences of body not physical expression.
Downloading cosmos
Just like the proper adjustment of TV antenna only the right angle will pour the world in the room or else is a blizzard. So is the body as antenna hold it right.
Greatest pleasure
Relief from something that you cannot hold within you is the greatest pleasure. Like shitting
Hell's kitchen
In Yoga, it only looks on it's compatiblity to body owned despite of veg on non veg
It's not about what you eat but eating on right manner. Eg. Protein that people are craze nowadays, mistake is that people eat what is not required.
Carnal to cosmic
Finding expression in many ways: when you are young and your intelligence is hijacked by your hormones, sex will be the way. When you get middle-aged and your intelligence is hijacked by your emotions, love is the way. When you are old and bereft of Harmonal mischief, prayer is the way.
Awareness is aliveness
In the yogic lore,when you learn to be aware you enslave divine because you become distant from compulsiveness and karmic information.
Heart Vs heart
The difference between head and heart is that you assign your thoughts to the head and emotions to the heart. but if we look at this carefully with absolute sincerity we realize that the way we think is the way we feel but it does also true that the way we feel is the way we think.
Also I have noted some meaning of words which may help you.
