In the Face of Error and Evil
By Alok Pandey - Oct 15, 2022
The human journey starts from ignorance and hence errors and mistakes are an inevitable part of the journey. While learning from errors are quite a normal process of growth, these errors still become sometimes unwittingly the apparent cause of pain for others. This article explores the ways of dealing with such eventualities that bring inadvertent suffering and pain.
Inner liberation and the change of consciousness
By The Mother - Jan 15, 2020
“It is indeed possible even while fasting for very long periods to maintain the full energies and activities of the soul and mind and life, even those of the body, to remain wakeful but concentrated in Yoga all the time, or to think deeply and write day and night, to dispense with sleep, to walk eight hours a day, maintaining all these activities separately or together and not feel any loss of strength, any fatigue, any kind of failure or decadence. At the end of the fast one can even resume at once taking the normal or even a greater than the normal amount of nourishment without any transition or precaution such as medical science enjoins, as if both the complete fasting and the feasting were natural conditions, alternating by an immediate and easy passage from one to the other, of a body already trained by a sort of initial transformation to be an instrument of the powers and activities of Yoga. But one thing one does not escape and that is the wasting of the material tissues of the body, its flesh and substance. Conceivably, if a practicable way and means could only be found, this last invincible obstacle too might be overcome and the body maintained by an interchange of its forces with the forces of material Nature, giving to her her need from the individual and taking from her directly the sustaining energies of her universal existence. Conceivably, one might rediscover and re-establish at the summit of the evolution of life the phenomenon we see at its base, the power to draw from all around it the means of sustenance and self-renewal. Or else the evolved being might acquire the greater power to draw down those means from above rather than draw them up or pull them in from the environment around, all about it and below it.”1

A life replete with spirituality would need an infusion of consciousness in all our little acts to make them progressively perfect. This would develop harmony in the mind as well as in the body.
Heal yourself by changing your consciousness
By Prashant Shivanand Shah - Jul 15, 2018
The prototype or original model of the human body in consciousness is perfect and healthy. Then, why does susceptibility to disease and constitutional disorders arise in our body? They arise largely from certain defective patterns that we carry in our mindset. We have inherited some of these patterns from our previous existence while some of them are the result of our actions in the present existence. Most of our illnesses are the results of defects in our thinking and emotions and faulty beliefs. Such defects and faults disturb the flow of vital energy or prāṇa in the body, which ultimately gives rise to the functional and constitutional disorders in our body. However, the good news is that these effects are reversible. That is, by making some changes in our belief-system and by cleansing the harmful emotions from our subconscious, we can restore health in our mind and body. prāṇa
Growth of consciousness
By Alok Pandey - Apr 24, 2016
Is the body purely matter? How is it different from the metal or mud? What is the link between a human being, his body and the matter of which it is formed? Seers, since ancient times have said that it is ’consciousness’ or the ’spirit-that-moves-in-all things’. This article explores this aspect deeply and gives us a tool to mould our bodies.
