Guest guest Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Buddha undertook various spiritual practices in order to realize his true Self. But none of these practices could show him the path to Nirvana (liberation). Ultimately, he realized that Nirvana lies in making use of the five senses in a sacred manner. He understood that Japa (repetition of God’s name), Dhyana (meditation), Yajna (ritual of sacrifice), Yoga, etc. were mere physical activities. These spiritual practices are needed only for those who are attached to the body. One who abides in the Self need not undertake any of these practices. Buddha taught that Nirvana can be attained only by cultivating Samyak Drishti (sacred vision), Samyak Vaak (sacred speech), Samyak Shravanam (sacred listening), Samyak Bhavam (sacred feeling) and Samyak Kriya (sacred action). - Satya Sai Baba As written at PRASANTHI NILAYAM TODAY http://groups.msn.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
