Jagadguru Kripaluji Yog

An uncontrolled mind is our worst enemy and a controlled mind is our best friend. An unbridled and overworked mind is the cause of stress, anxiety, tension, depression, ulcers, and innumerable other ailments. Often, mental activity reaches the state where one keeps thinking while eating, sitting, standing, and walking, etc. If the mind can be taught to relax, one can find relief from most ailments.

Once you have completed the meditation exercise, you will have to come back to your normal state. For this, you have to slowly bring consciousness and movement in your gross body.

Now, resolve firmly that you would like to meet God today. Pray to your Spiritual Master for his Grace, to enable you to fulfil this resolution. Also, resolve strongly that you will stay attentive and not fall asleep. Imagine that your body is beginning to fly. You are experiencing this in your subconscious mind. Magically, you are lifted off your feet and you are now rising up in the air. Look down and see the people lying in shavasan on the floor. Soar up, watch the clouds roll by and you roll with them.

Lie down in Shavasan posture, keeping your hands on the ground with the palms facing upward, towards the sky. A gap of 1 foot should be maintained between your feet. Keep your eyes closed and preferably, an eye shade, handkerchief or a piece of cloth should be used to cover your eyes completely. This is to avoid disturbing factors such as light, insects, etc. from disturbing your concentration.

The mind is a subtle machine that constantly generate thoughts. These thoughts create our personality. You look at someone and say, “He seems to be a very angry person,” or “He appears to be a very simple, straightforward person,” or “He seems to be very kindhearted,” etc. The kind of thoughts they kept in their minds, moulded their personality, and physical appearance as well.
