பத்மாசனம்

இதய பத்மத்தில் ஸ்திரசுகம் பத்மாசனம்
கால்மடக்குவது சிறுவர் ஆட்டம்

ராமபக்தி - யோகயுக்தி

சித்தவிகார கலக்கம் தெளிவிக்க ராமபக்தி
மற்ற விவகாரங்களுக்கு யோகயுக்தி

சனியின் அதீனம்

வாணியின் அகத்தில் சனியின் அதீனம்
அங்ஙனம் மதி ஈனம்

எத்தனை எத்தனை

எத்தனை எத்தனை ஆயிரம் விளையாட்டுக்கள்
நிலையாமையை உணராமல் இருக்க

உருவரை வாழ்வு

பத்தில் பொம்மையும் படிப்பும்
இருபதில் காதலும் காமமும்
முப்பதில் பெயரும் பணமும்
நாற்பதில் குழந்தையும் குடும்பமும்
ஐம்பதில் நிம்மதியும் ஆரோகியமும்
அறுபதில் பக்தியும் பயமும்

முன்வடிவு அளிக்கும் நடுத்தர வாழ்வு
சராசரி ஆபத்து சராசரி வரவு
உருவரை மீற தேவை மெய்யறிவு
அதுவரை உன்னை நீயே படித்திரு

Quotes from Eknath Eashwaran's FB Page

"When we get upset, it's not because life upsets us. We get upset because we're upsettable. With practice, everyone can develop a mind that's unupsettable. One of the best ways to do this is to give complete attention and respect to those around us - particularly when we differ."

"Jealousy comes into a relationship when we try to possess someone for ourselves. It is a very difficult secret to discover: that when we do not want to possess another person selfishly, when we do not make demand after demand, the relationship will grow and last. And it is something we have to learn the hard, hard way. This is the secret of all relationships, not only between husband and wife, boyfriend and girlfriend, but between friend and friend, parents and children."

"It is the nature of an untrained mind to keep moving, moving, moving. But the mind is infinitely teachable. You can make it natural for your mind not to move, but to dwell like a laser wherever you place it. That is the secret of genius, and it is the secret of satisfying relationships too."

"When your own mind is slow, you will be calm under attack. You will be in control of your own responses. Then you will not be afraid of angry people; you will be able to face them with affection in your heart, security in your mind, and a quiet confidence that you can slow down their anger. Even a belligerent person can sense that you are remaining calm, so you not only remain free from anger yourself but help the other person to calm down too."

"We do not still our minds in a week or even a year; it takes a long, long period of steady, enthusiastic effort. We should never be impressed by anyone who claims to give us complete control over the conscious, preconscious, and unconscious levels of the mind in a four-week seminar. But even it it takes a lifetime to attain this state, it is worth all our time and attention."

"It is no small thing to compose a sonata or write a perceptive novel; we are indebted to the great composers and writers who have given us beauty and insight into human nature. But I am most moved by the beauty of the perfectly crafted life, where every bit of selfishness has been carved away and what is thought, felt, said, and done are brought into harmony."

“We have to have a purpose greater than the endless struggle to satisfy personal desires.”

"The mind is conditioned to go after what it likes and to avoid what it dislikes, and so it is never at rest. If we can observe our mind with a little detachment, we can watch this process. Training the mind to be patient and calm under all circumstances, then, often begins with learning to wear our likes and dislikes loosely, casually, like a favorite old sweater."

“We need people if we are to grow, and all our problems with them, properly seen, are opportunities for growth. Can you practice patience with a deer? Can you learn to forgive a redwood? But trying to live in harmony with those around you right now will bring out enormous inner toughness.”

"When the mind is still, we can become an instrument of peace."

"Our speech has power. If we are careless in the words we choose – or even deliberately negative – we can set in motion damaging forces that are as threatening as a viral epidemic. Or we can add our voice to the harmony that underlies all life by choosing our words with care, honesty, and – above all – kindness."

“Developing a one-pointed mind will enrich your life moment by moment. You will find that your senses are keener, your emotions more stable, your intellect more lucid, your sensitivity to the needs of others heightened. Whatever you do, you will be there more fully.”

இதயத் தாமரை



இதயத் தாமரை மலர்கையில் அமைதியில்
ஆழும் புத்தியும் அஹங்காரமும்

உண்மையான ஆசனம் இதயக் கமலம்
பத்மாசனம் முதலியவை பஹிரங்கம

யோக சஸ்திரம் சாஸ்திரம் சூத்திரம்
இதயக் கமலம் தேடுவதற்காகவே

பிரம்மசூத்திரம் படித்த புத்தியும் பணியும்
சுயஒளி கொண்ட அல்லியின்முன்

இதயக் கமலம் வாசம் வீச
தானே நிற்கும் நாவு

ஆழியில் கலக்கும் மழைத்துளி அதுபோல்
இதயத்திடம் சுயமிழக்கும் சிற்றின்பம்

ஆதவனுடன் எழும் உலகு அதுபோல்
உள்ளொளியுடன் புனித குணங்கள்

இதயத் தாமரை அமர்தல் கல்வி
மற்றவை உணவிடலாம் கற்பிக்காது
