Guest guest Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 Dear prakki, You have misunderstood the statements made by me. I said meditation ends with samadhi,the meditation starts with watching the mind movements. The focus changes automatically from mind centre towards upward.I also said mind is the centre of control. Unless you enter into meditation I dont think its possible to explain. I dont have daubt that we are already the "god",only the "maya" is covering on us.This has to acertained by way of attaining samadhi. Unless it is confirmed ourself no point of claiming it either by me or anybody.Offcourse if you say about the god in form of various devine bodies and you stick to those gods only, then your point is valid for you.I dont support "sakara ""saguna"is the truth & the ultimate. Whichever is born is going to die.It may be material thing or the devine creature.The reality is god is "omnipresent""omnopotent and basically "nirakara" having no specific figure or shape.Evrything in the world come out from it.This is the understanding of the supreme god for me. I respect the indivisual authority to choose own path of interests,so its not for you to get convinced. Bhakti is generated truely in meditation only when the devine body of your sadguru guides you and is available always with you. Alternatively the true bhakti turns into deep meditation when you watch your mind and you find nothing else that your loved one gods or sadguru. The words are inadaquate to elaborate the process but there is no difference in ways even if they seemed to be defferent by face. Whatever you do in the world or whichever path you follow in spirituality, you have to let yourself inside your within at any cost or you will be missing the truth.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 Dear om agni devi, The statements are observations by me.So i put them of behalf of self to others. Also there are number of ways,paths etc like raja,bhakti etc but they go all at one place only. Even lord krishna said in gita that "sarva dev namaskarat keshavam prati gachchati" like all rivers go to the sea, same like that "salute (namaskara) to all gods reach to keshava" lord krishna name only. The supreme god is one and one and there is no daubt about it.He is found in saguna state in various forms which we call as gods,If somebody likes to love one of these forms what is bad in that. By the grace of the supreme god me to have a sadguru who has taught me lot.he is nothing but a mother for me.Yet he is the one who will guide me to extract me from "maya."
