Kriya yoga - Paramahamsa Prajnanananda I

 

 

 

Human life is a special gift of God. Man can make this life beautiful and make God’s creation more attractive through manifestation of love. This depends upon the right attitude to life and at the same time the right art of living. "Be happy and make others happy. Live healthy and help others to live healthy. Live in love and let others live in love" - should be the attitude to our life. This outlook and practice depends mostly on the condition of the mind.

  

Mind is the greatest blessing of God to the human being. But unfortunately, man does not know how to utilize this powerful mind to achieve its highest advantage. The mind is always restless running here and there. The nature of the mind is to be fickle.  The human mind is the fastest moving instrument, it moves faster than, even light. Mind is never- and can never remain idle.

  

Meditation is impossible with the restless mind. But how to control and regulate the mind? In the Bhagavad Gita the blessed Lord said: “No doubt the mind is difficult to control and it is restless, but it can be curbed by constant practice and detachment.” (VI/35).

  The breath and the mind are correlated and causally connected. Through breath control one can get calmness and inner peace. In the authentic Kriya technique, one gradually regulates the breathing pattern. Meditation is the means of achieving the state of ceasing physical and mental activities completely. You are to attain mastery over your breathing, by which life will be regulated and balanced because restless mind is the cause of restless breath, as is seen in the case of an angry or depressed person.
