Uncovering Buddha’s 4th Fold
- How to Transcend the Energy of Anger: The law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant – it is said to be conserved over time. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed; rather, it transforms from one form to another.
- The energy which is created by anger is not destructive in itself; it is destructive only because it is being used in the form of anger. Make better use of it.
- Anger becomes pure energy; anger becomes compassion, anger becomes forgiveness, anger becomes love. And you need not repress, so you are not burdened by some poison.
- Conservation Of Energy: In yoga, the concept of energy flow is central to the practice. The principles of physics can help explain the mechanics and benefits of yoga practice.
- From understanding the body’s balance and energy flow to the physics behind breathing techniques and postures, these principles can deepen our understanding and appreciation of this ancient practice.
- Yoga believes everything in the universe is energy whether manifested or unmanifested energy and it provides tools and techniques to us to align individual energies to the cosmic energy and increase the flow of energy within and through us.
- Spontaneity of Moment to Moment: Journey from instinct animal nature to Instinct Akarma.
- Spontaneity is an understanding that “I have not to run after desires.” Seeing the futility of desires, one no longer runs after them and there is spontaneity.
- That is what Kabir means when he says sahaj samadhi. Sahaj means spontaneity, samadhi means awareness: spontaneous awareness.
- The spontaneous person is beyond anybody’s enslavement. And if the spontaneous person grows, he will come to a commitment – but that will be his own commitment to existence, between himself and existence.
- Saying Yes To The Goal: Yes has meaning only when you are capable of saying no. Saying Yes to Life.
- Courage is needed to be open – courage to suffer, because blessing only becomes possible then.
- If you have to say yes, and there is no other alternative except yes. Use no as a foundation for yes, use doubt as manure for the rosebush. Use everything that God has given to you. Be choiceless if one wants to manifest a goal.
- Choicelessness is the alchemy of transformation, of inner mutation. A new being is born who has nothing to do with the past, who is absolutely discontinuous with the past. He has no desire.
- Fear of Presenting Facts: Fear has a beauty of its own, a delicacy and a sensitivity of its own. In fact it is a very subtle aliveness. Fear is part of being alive, part of being delicate, part of being fragile.
- A mature person should disconnect himself from anything that is connected with fear. That’s how maturity comes.
- The greatest discovery in life, the most precious treasure, is of awareness. Without it you are bound to be in darkness, full of fears.
- Drop the fear! The fear was taken up by you in your childhood unconsciously; now consciously drop it and be mature. And then life can be a light which goes on deepening as you go on growing.
- Buddha’s 4th Fold Right Communication: Communication is possible only when a song has burst forth in your being, when joy has arisen, when bliss has been experienced.
- A communion means I respect you, I love you as equals. You are NOT inferior, just asleep! Your sleep does not make you inferior at all, your sleep simply gives you dreams.
- Truth cannot be communicated but it can be communed. Communication is verbal; communion is non-verbal.
