Synchronicity of Iti-Iti & Neti-Neti #191
Those fortunate souls who arrive at the darshana of Vedanta in this age, which was freshly reintroduced on earth by Swami Vivekananda starting in 1893, hear several main teachings of import right at the start. One of these cites the discipline of neti neti, which asks the aspirant to look at every element, detail, and object in life, and say to the self, “I am not this; I am not this.” Withdrawal from all that in changing then settles into the mind, and the wonderful station of “Iti Iti,” I am all this; I am all this,” in a newly matured way, is realized. In other words, once the naivete of thinking oneself to be matter is taken away by the practice of neti neti, the soul then perceives Brahman in everything. Then, “Tat Tvam Asi — That Thou Art — is the welcome result.
Time & Enlightenment #152
There is no doubt that the factor of time plays an essential role in the attainment of spiritual enlightenment. Called Kramamukti in the Vedic tradition, what is inferred is a slower-paced and gradual inward ascension into the fullness of realization, over lifetimes. Though a few rarer souls may take swifter and more direct routes to Brahman and Ishvara, most beings on earth will walk this slower, gradated path. On the wisdom chart displayed here, some of the dynamics of spiritual evolution are laid out for study, along with many of the trials, requirements, and landmarks that accompany them. Replete with several wisdom quotes by a few of the most revered luminaries on earth over cycles of time, this chart is one to be posted on the walls of the household, ashrama, and monastery alike, as well as in educational institutions.

The Five Kinds & Twelve Types of Sacrifice #76
An intregal part of the sadhana of every living being in olden days in India, much of which has been lost or forgotten in this day and age, the principle and practice of Yagna, daily sacrifice, is sorely wanted and needed in today’s spiritual arenas. Record of its glory is to be found in the Bhagavad Gita, where Sri Krishna outlines the art of it via utilizing acknowledgement and practice of worshipping and serving the gods, the rishis, the
ancestors, human kind, and the subhuman species as well. A plethora of other noble and worthy selfless efforts are also to be found in this dharmic teaching, inspiring humanity to turn back to practices that will benefit rather than harm all sentient beings.
