Raja yoga' literally means the king of yogas.

This is a very grand title for a branch of yoga that is not as popular or as well-known as others, and that sometimes appears quite obscure. This article aims to demystify raja yoga, exploring the underlying philosophy, and most importantly its relevance for us in today's world.

എന്നെ വേർപെടുമ്പോൾ, ഞാനും സ്നേഹിക്കുന്നു. ഓരോരുത്തരുടെയും ജീവിതത്തിലേക്ക് ജീവിതം കൊണ്ടുവരുന്നതെല്ലാം ആന്തരിക സന്തോഷത്തോടെ കാണാൻ എനിക്ക് കഴിയും. മറ്റ് ജനങ്ങളുടെ ജീവിതം ഞാൻ ഏറ്റെടുക്കുകയോ കാര്യങ്ങൾ തെറ്റുമ്പോൾ നിരാശ തോന്നുകയോ ചെയ്യുന്നില്ല, അവരുടെ വിധിയിലേക്ക് ഞാൻ അവരെ വിടുകയുമില്ല. അവരുടെ ആന്തരിക കഴിവുകൾ കാണാനും ഓരോരുത്തരെയും സ്വയം ആശ്രയിക്കാനും എനിക്ക് കഴിയുന്നു.

Instruments/Tools To Perceive God

Perhaps I have been avoiding coming close to God because of the extraordinary confusion surrounding the subject. Maybe I have just lacked the tools with which to be able to discover God. The whole universe of things going on within a tiny drop of blood can be instantly revealed by the use of a tool or an instrument like the microscope. In the same way, the secrets behind realities of the self, the non-physical, spiritual self and the reality of God remain hidden until undiscovered by the appropriate instruments or tools. With which tools or instruments then, can I perceive or experience God? Since God is non-physical, the tools would also definitely be non-physical in nature.

That I haven't been able to understand myself is amply demonstrated by the periods of confusion and inner turmoil I go through. Sometimes I don't understand those with whom I share the same room or house, let alone my neighbors next door! The word ‘misunderstanding’ occurs frequently even in the closest of my relationships. It indicates that the quality of my mind, consciousness or even conscience hasn't been sufficiently clear to establish real rapport between myself and others. The realization and experience of God remain even further out of reach.

There's a very specific methodology involved in firstly understanding and organizing myself, and from that, coming to terms with God. I already have the most powerful of all instruments, the energy of my own mind, to work with. The extent to which I am able to research into the subject of God-realization depends on the quality of my thoughts and feelings.

Success comes to the one who is able to involve others and work as a team.

Expression: Because of having a feeling that the more the people involved, the more difficult the task becomes, we tend to avoid involving others in any task that we take up. We tend to do everything on our own, making us lose out on useful resources that we can get as others' contribution.

Experience: As much as possible we need to involve others in such a way that they make a valuable contribution to the task that we have undertaken. We are doubly benefited with this. Firstly, we will gain from the others' resources. We also find that the good wishes of others are there for the task for which they have contributed and we find ourselves succeeding.

Experiencing Positive Thoughts

Positive thoughts emerge from your values and may be experienced as:

Confidence
Contentment
Cooperation
Enthusiasm
Generosity
Happiness
Harmony
Honesty
Hope
Love
Mercy
Peace
Respect
Solidarity
Tolerance
Trust

Let's look at some examples of positive thoughts (with respect to the above values):

Happiness: Happiness raises the spirit of whoever possesses it, and brings out a smile in others.
Love: Be as enthusiastic with the success of others as you are with your own.
Honesty: If I am honest in all my actions, I will never be afraid.
Respect: The only way of receiving respect is to give it first.
Mercy: Do not lose hope in those that have lost hope.

The one who is simple is the one who is free from pain.

Expression: When we are simple we are able to be free from pain or hurt even in adverse situations. We are able to take benefit from the wealth of experiences accumulated over the past without feeling the pain. With simplicity we know that we need to remember the past only to the extent that we have to learn from it.

Experience: When something goes wrong and we find ourselves thinking about it again and again, we need to remind ourselves that all the past experiences are only for us to learn from. The past is finished and we don't have to undergo the sorrow again thinking about the past repeatedly.

Understanding The Different Types Of Thoughts That The Mind Creates (Part 1)

By understanding each one of the thoughts that the mind creates we can keep the beneficial thoughts and discard those which are useless or harmful. Today we explain:

Necessary Thoughts
Necessary thoughts are those relating to your daily routine, such as, "What am I going to have for dinner? What time am I picking up the children from school? What is the number of my bank account? What have I got to do today?" They are also thoughts connected with your profession or job. These necessary thoughts relating to your daily life come into your mind according to your responsibilities and needs at a more physical, material and professional level. When these thoughts are repeated over and over again, they become unnecessary or waste thoughts.

Real success is to experience internal progress.

Expression: The usual definition of success is of visible success - of profit, increase in status etc. Success is also understood as that ideal state where nothing goes wrong. But we find that it is usually not possible for that to happen. And, because of it, we do not experience constant success.

Experience: What is important to experience constant success is not what we achieve outwardly but what our experience is within. As long as we are working on ourselves i.e., we do internal work to remove our own flaws, we can watch and enjoy our internal success whatever the outward situation may be.
