Sahaja Yoga Meditation

This is a nice story on the meaning of self realisation. The conversation was about the higher state of awareness experienced by someone before starting Sahaja Yoga meditation. Here is the story:

On a bus in Italy, a Sahaja Yogi met with a lady who has been practicing Sahaja Yoga meditation for the last nine years. She said that before practicing Sahaja Yoga, she was still a very innocent university student.  She used to feel the Kundalini's cool inside her and used to put her attention on Sahasrara.

He saw his scientific role as a phenomenologist always open to the ambivalent and many aspected ambiguous intrusions of the unconscious into the ego field of conscious existence. He saw the ego loosely attached to a vast impersonal realm of the Self, which, in his later works he presented as the only objective and fundamental reality human beings could connect with. From this perspective the multi-layered, and to the conscious being, bewildering, complexity of the soul's functions was as fleeting as the Buddhist Maya. The west sees this Maya as the reality, and focusing our civilisation on the mastery of externals has produced its own catastrophic psychic disfunctioning as the values of internal reality have been neglected. One enduring statement that C.G. Jung made late in life about not having to be a Jungian reveals much of his attitude towards the psyche.

Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty we are Free at last. Martin Luther King, Jr was a man of destiny, an apostle of peace who had risen to the lofty heights of spiritual awareness, a towering hero and historical role model whose mission in life was to serve others, one of only a few genuine prophets produced by Western civilisation. His wisdom, words, commitment, deeds and dreams for a new cast of life were intertwined with the noblest of human aspirations; there is nothing in his life that was not joyous, and full of hope. He was a charismatic figure who attracted people by the magnificence of his concepts, and the brilliance of his insights.

Everything that the human race has done and thought is concerned with the satisfaction of deeply felt needs and the assuagement of pain. One has to keep this constantly in mind if one wishes to understand spiritual movements and their development. Feeling and longing are the motive force behind all human endeavor and human creation, in however exalted a guise the latter may present themselves to us. Now what are the feelings and needs that have led men to religious thought and belief in the widest sense of the words? A little consideration will suffice to show us that the most varying emotions preside over the birth of religious thought and experience.
