As the world plunges deeper and deeper into one crisis after another, an ever growing number of people are witnessing the rebirth of all that is true and noble in the human heart. On one side, the clamour for change, liberation, independence and equality; and on the other, the perception that the change required is not simply a matter of economics or politics but one that touches the core of our natures, attitudes and visions.
On seeing the almost complete rupture of human values, the mad rush towards an "apocalypse", many have retired into their own cells of desperation with the feeling of abandonment. "Even God has left us!" they cry, yet the throes of death have always signalled new beginnings...
This book is a story of the rekindling of the soul and how through the opening of the eye of wisdom one can see a brilliant future rising like a phoenix from the ashes of waste and corruption of this old world. It is a simple, step-by-step guide for those who recognise that now is the time for the rising up of the individual from the mire of its own weaknesses, the time for actively making the only valid contribution to a new and elevated world order the transformation of the self.
This book is about the original and ancient system of yoga Raja Yoga.
"Yoga" generally has the connotation of some physical or breathing exercises but its deepest definition is "the mental union or link between the individual soul and the Supreme Being, or God."
"Raja" means "king", so "Raja Yoga" can be understood in various ways:
* the King of Yogas or the Royal Yoga.
* the yoga through which the soul becomes a sovereign over its mind, intellect and personality, thereby ruling the sense organs of the body and being in complete control of any situation.
What then the toys of men? Something is missing. We've classified and categorized, Labels and fables. We move faster than the lions, Cut through the skies above. Dive so deeply in the ocean, But we've forgotten how to love. What then the dreams of men? Something is missing. Planning and negotiating. Breaking ideals. We have built the tallest buildings, Sent out missions to the stars, Everyone tries to be a success, But we've forgotten who we are. What then the works of men? Something is missing. Building up and breaking down, Sorrows and ambitions. We created all the boundaries, Yet we wonder where peace has gone, We cannot see the destination, We've forgotten where we're from. What then the words of men? Something is missing. Ancient volumes and sacred texts, Mountains of information. What then the lives of men? It's the love-link that's missing. The bridges had been breached, And no one was crossing. Sure we'd crawled across our history, Scrambling orphans in the dust, Tired and trembling and broken down, We'd forgotten Who to trust.
