More From John Drinkwater

My doctrine means that i must identify myself with life, with everything that lives, that i must share the majesty of life in the presence of god. the sum-total of this life is god. .. man is not at peace with himself until he has become like unto god. the endeavor to reach this state is the supreme, the only ambition worth having. and this is self-realisation. this self-realisation is the subject of the gita, as it is of all scriptures... to be a real devotee is to realise oneself. self-realisation is not something apart.
Real Ambition Mean
I think it's important to reason from first principles rather than by analogy. the normal way we conduct our lives is we reason by analogy. [with analogy] we are doing this because it's like something else that was done, or it is like what other people are doing. [with first principles] you boil things down to the most fundamental truths…and then reason up from there.
Thinking People Important
We are all one, i mean communication, just the realisation of human love reciprocated, it's such a gas, it's a good vibration which makes you feel good. these vibrations that you get through yoga, cosmic chants and things like that. i mean it's such a buzz, it buzzes you out of everywhere. it's nothing to do with pills or anything like that. it's just in your own head, the realisation, it's such a buzz, it buzzes you right into the astral plane.
Yoga Communication Mean
I think that young people are less attached to items and objects now. they're less attached to consuming things and accruing things because they see it as a system that doesn't necessarily work and give them a sense of adulthood and fulfillment. they're much more in tune with wanting to achieve a skill, a form of self-expression, or a body of knowledge that fulfills the same function, fulfills their adulthood.
Thinking Giving People
I can worship nature, and that fulfills my need for miracles and beauty. art gives a spiritual depth to existence -- i can find worlds bigger and deeper than my own in music, paintings, and books. and from my friends and family i receive the highest benediction, emotional contact, and personal affirmation. i can bow before the works of man, from buildings to babies, and that fulfills my need for wonder. i can believe in the sanctity of life, and that becomes the revealed word, to live my life as i believe it should be, not as i'm told to by self-appointed guides.
Spiritual Baby Art
Realisation is nothing new to be acquired. it is already there, but obstructed by a screen of thoughts. all our attempts are directed to lifting this screen and then realisation is revealed.
