- Coiled power
"But this is a modest force, no more violent than that with which our sun holds the planets in their orbits. The greater energy lies like a coiled spring in the nucleus itself" - New World and Modern Science.
This is perhaps the basis of the Kundalini Yoga.
The word "coiled" is particularly significant: the Yogi believes that Kundalini is "coiled power".
- Glue
The mind has the quality of glue and it glues itself to something or someone.
Friendship can be like glue - it does not hurt while you are stuck; but the trouble comes when you have to "give up."
Friendships like sticking plasters have to be removed and renewed.
- Law of Self-realisation
Bhag. XI-28,I-9.
The Self, which is beyond both good and evil, can be realised only if
1. You are good, and
2. You see no evil.
You cannot ignore the evil in your own heart - for it will compel you to see evil everywhere else!
If your own heart is good, you will not see evil at all .
In other words, if you see evil, your heart is impure, however holy you appear and pretend to be!
- Sudra
Servant caste.
The danger of devotion without knowledge - a Brahmin does Japa - repetition of the Lord's Name and Puja - worship, and meditates on the Lord's Feet.
In the Purusha Suktha it is said that the Sudra emerged from His Feet.
Yet the Brahmin will drive the Sudra away - the Living Feet of the Lord while meditating on Them in his own heart.
- Shradda
Shradda is faith.
Shraddham is annual ceremony performed to strengthen faith in family tradition.
