Hello everyone, it's been a while since I last made a topic and I want an energy boost so here I am! Today I'm going to talk about the peace and happiness I am experiencing, the Bhagavad Gita and how this ties into Psychic powers.
Ordinary life can be compared to drinking a delicious poison, at first you enjoy it, and think "Oh, well this is great!". You may have heard it is poison but dont understand how it is. The poison's taste goes away and you say "I need more, without it I'll be sad!" and so you run after it. This ultimately leads to sorrow, which is why it is considered poison.
Yoga is the Ultimate opposite, you begin by giving up things that cause sensory enjoyment. At first it may be difficult and you feel you are suffering but over time the suffering is replaced by joy. You find eternal joy and happiness inside of yourself and this is why it is better then the poison. The peace and happiness is your true nature and eternal, it cannot be taken away and is not dependant on outside influences as was the poison.
I have been practicing Yoga for over 2 years now and have experienced vast benefits. I used to when I was a teenager go to parties, drink and chase women. I enjoyed these things, but they were all poison. I never realized what I was doing until later on; I dont do these things anymore. But I am not sad, actually I am much happier. There are periods now in the past week where I have started to cry and laugh almost like a crazy person because I was unable to control the joy. Thats the only downside of this, I am so happy now I sometimes cry! Imagine being in public and having your friend breakdown next to you with a huge smile on his face laughing and crying in bursts; people would think he was crazy! He would not be though; he would be showing his true nature, the joy dormant inside of everybody.
"Abandoning all duties, take refuge in Me alone; I will liberate thee from all sins; grieve not."
Krishna said this in the Bhagavad Gita and it is the key to true bliss. By abandoning all duties He is not saying to give up work and sit home all day. He is saying to mentlly renounce everything while still physically acting! Do the action and offer the fruit of that action as sacrifice to Him; view Himself as doing the action through you! Destroy the ego and make it believe He is the doer of everything it thinks it has done before!
Taking refuge in Him (God, Krishna, various other names) alone. You do not look to others for help, you are always looking to Him. You ask Him for something and your friend comes along to do it; this is Him working through His physical instruments! Remember that all that is done is done by Him as Him and through Him, without Him nothing would exist.
I will liberate thee from all sins; grieve not. This is His promise; by doing the above all your sins will be burnt up. So why would you grieve if you know that in your future lays infinite bliss and joy? If it is going to happen that means it already has happened; time is but an illusion, remember this.
By doing these things your energy levels will rise, you may think they wont but they will. By doing good the usable energy in your body increases tenfold, this is truth. With more energy you can more easily manipulate your enviorment with abilities like telekinesis. So to increase your energy do everything as a sacrifice and do good for others as Him. Abandon the idea of you and see your true Self and the bliss just beneath it.
