Inculcating Powers Through Rajyoga Meditation - The Power To Withdraw (Part 1)
The aim of Raja Yoga meditation is to strengthen ones nature so much so that situations,
which previously might have defeated us, we now find easy to handle. So, the power
to withdraw does not mean running away from life, but the ability to find a safe
space inside oneself, even in the midst of life.
An image used to illustrate this power is that of the tortoise. When there is danger,
the tortoise instantly goes inside its shell, which it carries with it everywhere.
In the same way, when I am faced with negativity or active hostility from people
and situations around me, there is great strength in become introverted, even for
a moment, so as to touch base with the point of peace inside my own being. In doing
so, I find not only shelter, but also stability, so that I protect
myself from any hostile reactions on my part.

Message for the day 27-03-2013
----------------------------------------------------------
To have love for experimenting is to experience progress.
Projection: Usually we do things just as we have always done or as others
do it. So we find ourselves obtaining the same results over and over again. We hardly
ever think of doing things differently or trying our something new.
Solution: We need to develop love for experimenting. In any situation we
have to see if we can think of something different, if there is a better way of
doing what we are supposed to do. Such experimenting will bring newness and progress
in our life.
