Development of Life Energy

Effect of Posture on the Life Energy:

Hitler, before invading any country, used to gather the information through his spies regarding the posture adopted by the people of that country while sitting or walking. Whether they remain erect like young or stooped like old people? He could easily assess whether he will have to press in hard force in conquering that area or will it be a child’s task.

Those who walk or sit erect are brave, strong, adventurous and strong willed. It is an uphill task to defeat them. On the other hand, those with stooped posture, even in youth, are lackadaisical, weak, chick hearted and pessimistic like old people. They constantly lose their life energy. Taking while walking is like being one’s own foe. It enormously diminishes life energy.

Chairs made from metals and soft cushions are detrimental to our life energy whereas flat chairs with hard back are beneficial to our life energy.

Swimming enhances our life energy. Wearing a rosary made from Tulsi, Rudraksh or Gold also helps in the enhancement of our life energy.

The objective of human life should be to enhance life energy in order to attain the knowledge of the life-giver. Even animals are healthy. The trees have long life. but O children of immortality! In addition to all this, you have to open the 3eye of divine wisdom also.

You had been blessed with thousands of mortal sheaths in different lives. Thousands of waves of samkalpa and vikalpa, resolves and counter resolves arose and subsided in the lake of your mind. Beyond all this, the true Life-giver is your own Self. Keep on awakening that Self-force. Keep on attaining self knowledge and love for the Self and repose in it. OM…! OM…!! OM…!!!

The Mystery of Success

When you see a fat sturdy man, sitting on a cushioned bed, you know that his healthiness is not due to his sitting on thick cushions. The expansion of his healthy body is due to the assimilation of his rich diet.

In the same manner, a person who is occupying a high post and majestic life style, or is delivering a lecture from a dais, has attained grandeur in his life not because of the high seat he is occupying but knowingly or unknowingly he has practiced altruism in his life. He is self-reliant and his developed concentration of mind, self-restraint, simplicity and nobility to some extent, that is the cause of his success.

It is wrong to think that the affluence or success in the life of the key post holders is due to crookedness, deceit or fraud. In reality, it is not so. Rather had they indulged in cunningness or crookedness, they would have faced failures and downfalls. The cause of prosperity is nothing but practice of truth and altruism, knowingly or unknowingly.
