Seneca was a stoic philosopher and rhetorician. He’s one of the first stoics for which there are considerable literary remains for us to study. In his moral essay, On The Shortness Of Life, Seneca gives us an urgent reminder on the non-renewability of our most important resource: our time.
Stoicism is a school of Hellenistic philosophy founded by Zeno of Cilium in Athens in the early 3rd century BC. Even though it is over 2000 years old, more and more people are discovering how Stoicism is not only relevant to modern times, but can be applied in very simple, yet strong ways.
GurenderTrue, I don't completely disagree with what you shared, even i did,
But moving ahead, i realized, it is always you 'alone' with your own set of 'doings', and then, you are forced to sort them out, whatever i was hanging onto, it was to be left behind
Though, i myself have started seeking by admitting
"Something as Truth" but with time, no matter how much i forced myself into it, it never became a "living reality".

Though, i myself have started seeking by admitting
"Something as Truth" but with time, no matter how much i forced myself into it, it never became a "living reality".
The moment i left behind things i studied and read, the moment, i realized my self as "independent thinker" the moment i accept my "insecurities" and "fears", then at that very moment, something for sure, more "alive" then mere readings came down pouring inside of me, which we call by name "Experience", it gave me true "Strength" as a matter of fact, not words.
My set of "Experiences" i would say were truly, pointers to the path.
Now i see the bigger picture,
I learned how to be a seeker first, then i became one lol
So,
Owing to this i said,
"Jump into life being insecure and foolish, one learns by mistakes, one grows by them, this learning is worth, draw the life chart as you see it the best of your own might"

@[2589:Gurender Singh] That's a wonderful idea to go by but my friend it is not always easy to innovate your own ideas that too when your glass of knowledge and experiences has just begun to fill... everybody needs some philosophical basis to hang on to..isn't it ?
GurenderWhen in How do "we" , the "we" part goes,
And when in How Do "I", the "I" part melts,
Then indeed,
Individuality and whatever rests on it.. vanishes, My, I, Separateness vanishes,
Truth, Shows itself to itself in itself by itself.
If one's focus is on How do I know i am Spiritually awakened, then it will be hard to be awaken, let this thought go because it is a hurdle, no need to be worried about "hows", just keep on learning, Keep on focusing, keep on finding the best way to life, never... moreWhen in How do "we" , the "we" part goes,

Truth, Shows itself to itself in itself by itself.
If one's focus is on How do I know i am Spiritually awakened, then it will be hard to be awaken, let this thought go because it is a hurdle, no need to be worried about "hows", just keep on learning, Keep on focusing, keep on finding the best way to life, never stop on one thing, never hold a thing, never look for constant state, let it all go.
Deep dive into life, slowly yet steady, life will show it's true nature.
It will show, What are changes and on what these all changes rests which does not change, Don't stop, Keep marching ahead, freely, steadily, calmly.
Rest, i will share one recorded experience for you :-
"Having Realized Absence of "I", it saw it's own nature without boundaries, it's own infinite will and it's own infinite power, Glory to this Lord, who is Formless, who is source, to whom shall i convey this? Whatever is echoed, is echoed in Lord, He is indeed the listener, he is indeed the speaker"
Ankur Jaini can only guess. currelty i feel that some of the key indicatoers of spiritual awakening can be as floows:
1. you start to take full responsibility of what happens to you. atlease one does not hold others responsibal and one focuses on one's own action and one own evolution.
2. one get distant from dualitites like : like vs dislike, feeling hot or deeling cold. profit vs loss
3. one does not see the benefit of self seperate from benefit of all. compassion rises in a big way and one can... morei can only guess. currelty i feel that some of the key indicatoers of spiritual awakening can be as floows:

3. one does not see the benefit of self seperate from benefit of all. compassion rises in a big way and one can feel others and their pains and considerations and viwepoints
4. one gets out of the cycle of logic. one fixes goals and moves towards them.
5. one works for excellence ..
these are few of the symbols i guess ... but these are signs of awakening .. can not say what happens when one is deeper into the game

By human effort, like controlling breath, you can get health only which is not a power and this is completely first line only.
People are attracted like this in the name of Yoga. To get powers, Ravana should have joined Yoga centre. Why he did penance for God Brahma? Yoga means achievement of grace of God by which only powers are attained.
Kundalini is your mind which is the base of your love and which is called as the serpent going with curves. Generally the mind of the people is curved by nature. Mind is energy and is propagated as waves according to science. These wheels are the family bonds and crossing them in a curved way is cheating those cheating bonds. This justifies that Maya can be crossed by Maya and a thorn can be taken out by another thorn. The first wheel represents earth, which is the bond with mother and is called as Mooladhara. Only from earth living beings like plants etc. (life) are born. The Kundalini sleeps in the Mooladhara wheel. This indicates your sleeping state of mind in the womb of your mother.
The awakening of Kundalini means that you are delivered and came into world and you are trapped in bonds as your mind grows. So, there is no need of awakening the Kundalini, which was already in the awakened state. By closing your eyes, you are encouraging Kundalini (mind) to sleep.
Ravi Chandran
It is important to concentrate on the breath while doing yogasana or even while you work out in a gym. It is imperative to concentrate on the process as well as the pattern of inhalation and exhalation in order to achieve the maximum efficacy
Meditation has been scientifically proven to have many health benefits, like reduced anxiety and better emotional health. While this is great, I also see many people struggling with incorporating meditation in their daily routines.

Some points on this topic fro message of Shri Datta Swami...
A human being is a composite of three bodies, which are the outermost gross body (physical body) and the pair of innermost subtle and causal bodies. The innermost subtle body and causal body (Soul) can never be separated. This soul is not having any gender. Gender comes when Soul enters in a particular physical body.

A human being is a composite of three bodies, which are the outermost gross body (physical body) and the pair of innermost subtle and causal bodies. The innermost subtle body and causal body (Soul) can never be separated. This soul is not having any gender. Gender comes when Soul enters in a particular physical body.
If food is not taken for long time …
If food is not taken for longer time, first we become weak and latter on even loose consciousness (awareness) also.
When food is taken, it oxidizes, which is an exothermic reaction and releases heat. As such heat energy is also inert energy only i.e., it is not awareness. Then how come awareness is arising after taking food in human beings? A part of heat energy is only converting to awareness in nervous system. This awareness is the soul or atman.
Subtle body or mind is a bundle of qualities or gunas or Samskaras. Basically any quality is a mixture of 3 basic qualities. Those 3 basic qualities are sattvam, rajas and Tamas. These qualities are similar to waves and awareness is similar to water. Without water, you cannot have waves and so also, without awareness, qualities do not exist.
Qualities are exhibited only if awareness exists. Ex: Coma patient is not exhibiting any qualities. He is having life energy but not awareness. A human being in awakened state exhibits qualities. He has both life energy and awareness.
Datta SwamiEternality of Soul ... (Excerpt from message of Shri Datta Swami)
Pure Awareness (Soul) requires existence of 2 items. One is inert energy that is obtained from digestion of food (Annat Purashah- Veda). Second is nervous system, which alone can convert this inert energy into awareness on functioning. So, awareness is dependent on these two items but God is independent & does not depend on any other item. Matter (food) is converted into energy & awareness is a form of energy.

So, awareness is dependent on these two items but God is independent & does not depend on any other item. Matter (food) is converted into energy & awareness is a form of energy.
Thus, matter & awareness are inter-convertible. When a human being called “Ahalya” was converted in to inert statue & again when statue was converted into human being, this inter-conversion is proved. When Ahalya became a stone, her soul did not go to upper world. It remained there only. Awareness is an item of creation & so exactly duplicate souls were created by Lord Krishna when these souls were stolen by Prajapati. These points clearly show that awareness is a conversion of inert matter & a form of inert energy and an item of creation only.
If one accepts science, it is very easy to prove that awareness is a special form of inert energy flowing through nervous system while functioning. Robot is just duplicate of human being. Current flowing in wires is awareness flowing in nervous system.Information stored in chip is exactly information stored in brain. Brain is system of several microprocessors working simultaneously, which grasps all points regarding an object in one instance.
You treat brain as CD in which information is stored in the form of written impressions on matter or you can treat brain as the RAM in which the information is stored in the form of pulses by electromagnetic energy.This does not make any difference for a spiritual approach. It is a topic of science.Even in science a physicist does not differentiate matter and energy.Thus, in science it is clearly proved that awareness is inert energy only which on functioning in nervous system becomes a specific form by doing specific work. Infact,awareness is form of special work done by inert energy.
GurenderHmm,
The 'powers' mentioned here are most basic things one gets when he or she merely start meditating
Let me tell you depth of what one can get,
You can know your and other's past lives as well.
You can leave your body to travel into subtle realms.
You can die willingly to adopt a new body of your choice.
And then,
You can have certain weapons at mental or physic level which can destroy the targeted person, ever heard of brahma-astra?
I will just stop here because these powers are not... moreHmm,
