Darkness; the flashing lightnings of the Thought-gods search the night and the light of heaven rises of itself on our souls at their battle-call.

Raj Kumar wrote: Have you ever done Raja Yoga?

Even JK tried yoga and he said it makes the body supple and he finds nothing wrong with that.After JK i don't feel any necessity of anything including JK. in school days i did some yogic asanas and i didnt postpone anything. iam only postponing my death( psychological) now and iam awre of it.this takes care of.If you mean meditation i can be sure it is not necessary and i will rather suggest you to read JK till you find nothing is necessary. thank you.

Thank you for your all the above posts. gb

Raj Kumar wrote: Are you sure K said this?

Yes. he had his training with Desikachariar and i surely remember he having said it makes the body supple and he didnt bring yoga to the category of becoming.I searched google to find out JK and yoga. there were lot of references and i felt difficult go through all of them to present that quote.

Raj Kumar wrote: But I am talking about Raja Yoga.

he also said many things in discussion on yoga along with meditation. gb

Raj Kumar wrote: Did Desikachariar declare that K achieved 'Samadi'?

As you said, with him he learnt only hatha yoga. Samadi you say , but he has reached the ground, that is what we feel. gb

One person, they said has grown awkward and heavy in this friendship; they no longer urge him forward in the contests. He lives with falsehood like a milkless cow, for the speech that he has heard has no fruits no flower. gb

Paul Davidson wrote: What is the meaning of a cow? Now, will any definition answer that question?

In vedic terminology they defined cow as 'ray of knowledge', and it turned out as cow worship. there is one more danger of definitions. gb

Yogi Anurada wrote: Then anyone who want to take a break for a while, including my self, can come back at his convenience.

This differs from K approach and it is not a right approach. One can say this without getting to any conditioning. gb

Yogi Anurada wrote: Did he define 'Truth' as the questioner wanted him to?

Why he should he bother to define it as it is open for all to see? gb

I have no idea

Paul Davidson wrote: WHO SAYS WORDS WITH MY MOUTH? - Rumi

I am the one who says, by myself, what gives joy to gods and men. The one who eats food, who truly sees, who breathes, who hears what is said, does through me. Though they do not realize it, they dwell in me. Listen whom they have heard: what I tell you should be heeded.

Dear D! But when i say veda ,why are you bringing the chronological time? gb

First step, free of the conditioning of the time, perhaps that may be the last step. gb

Spirit of the forest, spirit of the forest, who seems to melt away, how is it that you do not ask about a village? Doesn't a kind of fear grasp you? gb

Dr.sudhir sharma wrote: How does this 'unconscious' come to light, to the conscious level?

The spirit of the forest does not kill- not if no one approaches. She eats sweet fruit and lies down wherever she pleases. gb

Dr.sudhir sharma wrote: Do you think that the unconscious ever communicates/shares stored data with self or conscious mind directly in original form?

mother of wild beasts, untilled by a plough but full of food, sweet- smelling of perfume and balm- to her, the spirit of the forest I offer my praise. gb

Dr.sudhir sharma wrote: If the above two method of communication are a possibility, then why call it 'unconscious'?

Whoever stays in the forest at evening imagines: Some one is calling his cow; someone else is cutting wood; someone is crying out. gb

Dr.sudhir sharma wrote: Or the self and conscious mind have the ability to peep in to unconscious?

The spirit of the forest at evening: You think you see cows grazing; you think you see a house; you think a cart is rumbling. gb
