Asparsha Yoga — The “Nontouch” Yoga #97
Does Nonduality have a practice? The seers who abide in this singular state tell us that as long as the soul inhabits the body, just so long will it need to exert effort towards maintaining its awareness of Formless Reality. This subtle most practice has been termed Advaita Vedanta Sadhana, which can be defined as the spiritual self-effort performed effortlessly by the luminary for the purpose of keeping the mind’s impurities from rising. Gaudapada’s rendering of Asparsha Yoga has all the characteristics of such a sublime inner practice, which show up as a distilled list of observances and divine expressions in the one adhering to it.
The Four Stages of Absorption & Formlessness #99
If there is only one true religion, that would have to be Nonduality, for only this highest Principle holds the capacity to both contain all other religions, and merge them into one another as well. And the secret of the rare Religion of Nonduality is Formlessness; that is the one distinct element that all the religions of the world do not profess, and if it is present there, it is not emphasized. There are many sweet drinks available for the palate, but only honey embodies the essence of sweetness. There are many great rivers on earth, but they all have the Ocean as their final destination. It was in this way that great souls like Buddha projected a body on earth and spoke to and of this most elevated spiritual station as Truth, giving It just enough form so as to attract the freedom-loving soul to engage with It. Like a mountain that loses all traces of pathways toward its summit, the Religion of Formlessness transcends name and form, time and space, and ushers the enlightened soul towards the peak of perfection called Brahman, Prajnaparam, Allah, the All-mighty Father, and other sublime appelations.
From Atomic Particles to Atmic Particles #61
The final conclusion of the luminaries and the revealed scriptures is that “All Is Brahman.” But how can this ultimatum be believed when Brahman cannot be an object, an energy, or a thought? As Sri Ramakrishna explained, Brahman, Divine Reality, infuses everything like sweetness permeates sugar cane juice. The same sunlight appears in multiple dew drops that have collected on garden flowers in the early morning. The Light of Consciousness shines in all individuals, and all things — though apparently separated. Similarly, in keeping with the trends of modern science and contemporary human understanding, a way to understand the all-pervasive nature of Consciousness is through examining particles. Western Science has done so on the physical level, but the ancient contemplatives of India saw past the atomic particle and perceived Consciousness vibrating at subtler and subtler levels. This inner vision also revealed to them the presence of inner realms and the secrets of where the eternal Soul goes to and comes from before birth and after death. Whether put in terms of bodies, worlds, deities, or vibration, in-depth teachings on particles clarify our comprehension.
The Nine Steps to Perfection #120
Sadhana, as understood by beginning and intermediate practitioners, is mostly a matter of body, prana, and ritualistic worship. When it becomes obvious after a time that the mind will need its own form of practice, more subtle elements are called into play. The inward journey really begins here, for the “kingdom of Heaven” as it could be called, is most certainly within. The mind, with its thoughts, intellect, and ego constituents, are these inner territories. When they are detected, explored, and refined, all manner of exquisite experiences, like samadhis, come forward. For those whose main path is one of wisdom, this chart lays out the dynamics of a mind that is making itself perfectly qualified for the singular experience of ultimate Samadhi, called Nirvikalpa.
