thoughts TEXT only As written at PRASANTHI NILAYAM Today 23rd August 2007 Some people entertain some newfangled ideas about Yoga (spiritual union), Jnana (spiritual wisdom) and Sanyasa (renunciation). What is true Yoga? Yoga is control of the vagaries of the mind. It is control of the senses. One should treat alike both praise and censure, pleasure and pain. This kind of self-restraint is Yoga. What is Jnana? Advaita Darshanam Jnanam (The Vision of the One without a second is the supreme knowledge). To recognise the Ekatma-Bhaava (the feeling that the same Atma dwells in all beings) is Jnana. True Sanyasa is in the transformation of one's qualities and not in the change of garb. The mind must change, not the apparel. A true Sanyasi

(renunciant) is one who has attained mastery over all his senses and has given up all desires. He is a Sanyasi who seeks the feet of the Lord, giving up all attachments to the body, which is subject to disease and decay. He must treat life and death, pleasure and pain alike. - BABA
