Guruji, What would help to elevate our consciousness and deepen our connection?

Photo: Ego : 

Ego is the subtlest enemy of the soul.  When we are under the influence of ego we are totally disconnected from self-respect; we fabricate and identify ourselves with false self-image.  An egoistic person always feels insecure and seeks attention. It is said – if it hurts, it is ego.  An egoist is in delusion, always influenced by praise and defamation.  Ego isolates a person and creates clashes, discord, hatred and blind competition. 

When we violate ourselves, we are violating eternal spiritual laws that are needed to sustain peace and harmony in this world. The Supreme Soul, the ocean of knowledge, purity, peace, love, happiness and power, recreates and reestablishes a new world order and culture of ‘ahimsa’ as the supreme dharma and way of life. Violence can be eliminated when we follow spiritual principles to become vice-less through Rajyoga which is a spiritual process of intellectual communion with the Supreme.

Q: Guruji, What would help to elevate our consciousness and deepen our connection?

Guruji : Here are a few basic and effective pointers:

1. A proper diet. Our food influences our mind. The Jain tradition has done much research on the effect of food on the mind. Ayurveda and Chinese systems and many other native systems the world over have recognized the effect of food on the psyche. Modern science confirms that food can have a direct bearing on our emotions. Emotionally disturbed children tend to eat more and suffer from obesity. A properly balanced diet has a positive impact on our emotions and thereby on our consciousness.

2. Light to moderate exercise.

3. Panchakarma. In the ancient medical system of Ayurveda, there is a process of internal cleansing called panchakarma that involves massages, a prescribed diet and cleansing. This has helped thousands of people to come out of stress and behavioral disorders and is also a curative for many illnesses.

4. Yoga, Pranayama and meditation. These are extremely vital to induce a sense of respect for one’s own body and the environment. They help to maintain a toxin-free system and thereby reduce the occurrence of emotional disturbances.

5. Music and dance. These can bring rhythm and harmony in the body-mind complex; especially music that is not too loud and violent. Music that is soothing and creates a gentle sway and rhythm in one’s system, like folk and classical music.

6. Nature. Spending time in nature, observing silence and engaging in prayer is very congenial for helping us to reflect on our own mind.

7. Last but not the least: service to the less fortunate.
