Notes on Spirituality 150222

This all sounds good, but how to tap into this so-called higher state of consciousness, you ask?

Reflection (chintan),
meditation (dhyana),
self-study (svadhyaya),
devotion (bhakti) and
mindfulness (smriti)
are some of the methods for lasting effects. And the beauty is that none of these are mutually exclusive. Indeed, together they carve an incredibly rewarding path for you.

Each Veda has four subdivisions –
the Samhitas (mantras and benedictions),
the Aranyakas (text on rituals, ceremonies, sacrifices and symbolic-sacrifices), the Brahmanas (commentaries on rituals, ceremonies and sacrifices), and
the Upanishads (texts discussing meditation, philosophy and spiritual knowledge).

Just like eyes, as nerve end, perform a function in the body. An individual is the nerve end of the universe and performs a function in the universe.

All your sense are vibrations and woven into pattern and that sums up your experiences. Just like you can't describe music in words, but can experience it when you listen to it. Same goes for your experiences, vibrations. Simply observe how they go. That is essentially the process of meditation.
