work.

Let us work as we pray for work is the body's best prayer to the divine.
life's master word is work, with this magic word in one's heart all things are possible. It is the touch stone of progress and the key to success.

Figure it out for yourself, my lad,
You've all that the greatest of men have had,
Two arms, two hands, two legs, two eyes,
And a brain to use if you would be wise.



The Gita's yoga consists in the offering of one's work as a sacrifice to the Divine, the conquest of desire, egoless and desireless action, bhakti for the Divine, an entering into the cosmic consciousness, the sense of unity with all creatures, oneness with the Divine. This yoga adds the bringing down of the supramental Light and Force (its ultimate aim) and the transformation of the nature.

The only work that spiritually purifies is that which is done without personal motives, without desire for fame or public recognition or worldly greatness, without insistence on one's own mental motives or vital lusts and demands or physical preferences, without vanity or crude self-assertion or claim for position or prestige, done for the sake of the Divine alone and at the command of the Divine. All work done in an egoistic spirit, however good for people in the world of the Ignorance, is of no avail to the seeker of the yoga.

Skill in works will come when there is the opening in the physical mind and the body. 

In work there must be a rule and discipline and as much punctuality as possible in regard to time.
To be regular is a great force. one becomes master of ones time and ones movements.
remember always that there is magic in the early dawn brahma murtham. 
also watch youtube discussion of the magic of 3:40 by sadguru.

one must experience it to know it for sure.

sing

Sing.
Sing a song.
Sing out loud, sing out strong.
Sing of good things, not bad.
Sing of happy, not sad.
Sing.
Sing a song.
Make it simple to last your whole life long.
Don't worry that it's not good enough for anyone else to hear.
Just sing.
Sing a song.

dream within dream.

YogaVasista.
The wisdom imparted by sage Vasista to Lord Rama defies the outward forms of seriousness. 
Vasista teaches through telling of a good story actually 64 interwoven tales with variety of themes. The first being the relation between dream and reality. Svapna/ Satya;
The story of Lavana the king coming under a spell of a court jester lives an alternate life within the poor tribal community regains consciousness and finds out his supposed dream confirmed when he visited his former imagined realm and discovered that his alternate family was real.
Visista discusses concepts of the individual in interesting ways showing the soul creates its own situations due to their will and action because of the efficacy of Karma they all bend towards correct action or dharma.
to be continued.

chod

Even such is time which takes in trust
our youth our joys and all we have
and pays us nought but age and dust
which in the dark and silent grave
when we have wandered all our ways
shuts up the story of our days
and from which grave and earth and dust
the lord shall raise me up I trust.


The more we live more brief appears
our life's succeeding stages
a day to childhood seems a year
and years like passing ages
when joys have lost their bloom and breath
and life itself is vipid
why as we reach the falls of death
feel we its tide more rapid
Heaven gives our years of fading strength
indemnifying fleetness
and those of youth and seeming length
proportioned to their sweetness.
