It would be nice to progress without spend hours and hours in meditation or doing exercised or any other yoga practice just by psychology.
I call this effort spirituality and by this effort your mind becomes apexed, pinnacled so you can say that it is psychology as the psyche get apexed, pinnacled but again this is due to spiritual effort not by mental effort.
Quote:The real meaning of education is trilateral development – simultaneous development in the physical, mental and spiritual realms of human existence. This development should enhance the integration of the human personality. By this, dormant human potentialities will be awakened and put to proper use. Educated are those who have learnt much, remembered much and made use of their learning in practical life.
Emphasis should be given to moral education and the inculcation of idealism – not only philosophy and traditions. The practice of morality should be the most important subject in the syllabus at all levels.
The sense of universalism should also be awakened in the child. Etiquette and refined behaviour are not enough. Real education leads to a pervasive sense of love and compassion for all creation.

I can not see where is the contradiction in what i said?
Quote:Maybe you'd better contact the educational branch and tell them they're teaching people all kinds of intellectual stuff which has nothing to do with spirituality.
In my previous posts i said few times that yoga include many things not just doing meditation.
Why you think i discussed for so long about whether man is omnivore or not if i wouldn't include vegetarianism in my life?
And then i talk about microvita and alternative medicine and other different topics?
I just don't understand what you are on about Ape.
Quote:Last night I watched an Ananda Marga documentary explaining what it was all about. There was a very heavy emphasis on service. There are Ananda Marga followers working in slums and poverty stricken areas of the world to improve people's lives. Belief in the system you're talking about isn't supposed to be a barrier to having love and compassion for all creation as it is at the moment. What you think an animal or human might have got up to in a past life isn't supposed to be a barrier to helping them in their current life.
You are presuming that i don't care about suffering just because i said that there is the karma law to take into account.
Why you keep on rushing in your judgments is just behind me.

Quote:Let's say that the system you're talking about is true. Is that any excuse for adopting a holier than thou attitude? "I've got a healthy body and a comfortable lifestyle so I must be more spiritually advanced than that blind, homeless beggar over there." It's up to the system to judge how spiritually advanced someone is and what they are to learn the next time round. Maybe that blind, homeless beggar had a healthy body and comfortable lifestyle last time round but he neglected love and compassion for all creation so now has to learn what it's like to be in need of love and compassion.
Again you are presuming things.
If i see anyone down in the gutter the first thing that come in my mind is to help even if i know that that is due to his-her karma but you presume that i am not interested in helping just because that person did something wrong therefore shouldn't be helped.
Quote:You're just dismissing them as issues? Neohumanism is the Ananda Marga philosophy while PCAP is an ecological organisation which Sarkar started back in the 1970's. It includes running animal sanctuaries.
When i start talking to anyone the talk often go from topic to topic.
To stick to the same argument for long get boring so i let the argument take me wherever it like it to go.
If i never talk about what you mention is just due to the fact that the flow of the argument never end up there.
Quote:Really? You surprise me. You have spent most of this topic preaching and proselytizing in barely comprehensible posts peppered with emoticons. What I've failed to pick up from your posts is any sense of compassion for animals suffering in factory farms and laboratories etc or any sense of compassion for people who are living miserable lives due to poverty and/or exploitation. The only thing you go on about is that they are probably suffering because of what they got up to in past lives.
Try to slow down with your emotions Ape.
Quote:I'm not interested in your version of spirituality. All it's come across as is trying to ensure you get a healthy body and comfortable lifestyle the next time round.
As far as i can remember i always explain that the goal of life can not possibly be in this material-physical world but in the spiritual one.
And i also said that to think in this way is the correct way to think as spirituality offer the only solution to human problem.
Now you please explain what is wrong with attain spiritual progress?
Quote:I shall now go back to learning more about what Ananda Marga is really about.
Very well but please leave behind your emotions and your rush judgment.
