Disciplines of Mind –
Tranquility, kindness, composure,
self-discipline, and purity are the characteristics of a noble soul, these can
be achieved through the practice of intense meditation and Yogic practices, with thorough knowledge in scriptures.
Ascetics are an elevated soul who enjoys permanent bliss, the unison of
individual soul with the supreme spirit, where there is no sorrow or happiness,
pain or pleasure, gain or loss, death or birth, wellness or illness. A gluttonous or ravenous, sleepless or sleep addict
cannot succeed in meditation, people who are unbiased in all the activities,
and dispassionate would attain self-realization. We all are shackled by the pious as well as
sinful deeds of several births; as a result, we have to go through the happiness
and sorrows, pains and pleasures in this life.
A renounced soul who is neither affected by happiness nor sorrow, he is
supplemented with the knowledge of self and supreme spirit. Self-realization and God – realization is achieved
by the practice of wisdom and knowledge that would burn the ignorance like a wood
fire. Self-realization is awareness of
the concept of ‘I’ as supreme consciousness which has all-pervading nature.
