Swami Paramananda ~ Some Sayings Swami


Body and mind are the periphery of the cyclone. Consciousness is the seer, the centre and the silent witness. The whole science of Yoga is to transcend the limitations of body and mind to attain the centre.



To behold the moon, it is important to look beyond the finger. Similarly, it is important to go beyond religion to attain God. But man is so engrossed in his dream-world owing to his mind which is 95.5% unconscious, that he blindly performs the religious practices without understanding and awareness.



The greatest sacrifice is to dissolve all the animal instincts in us so as to go beyond the illusive self or the ‘I’ created by the assemblage of all these tendencies, thus enabling the Divine in us to shine forth.



But I say unto you that your inner nature is only a challenge. Nobody is here to judge anyone - even God does not judge. Man has the power to choose, to discriminate, he can decide to move outside in the illusory world and suffer to his heart’s content or he can choose to regain his lost paradise.



"Man, you are seeking bliss, peace, power and eternal life. That you already are! -Tat twam asi" Take cognizance of your real nature and get disentangled from this nightmarish situation. The way to it is very simple.

Since most people are ignorant of the occult side of their being, they are carried away by powerful emotions, thus causing much harm to their body, heart and mind. Many illnesses are caused by the absence of body, mind and heart relaxation. Any material method will give only little and temporary relief from stress and other illnesses produced by the absence of relaxation. The ultimate solution is always meditation.



It is said that man is a social animal, to which I agree, but that is not the whole truth. Man is a potential, not only does he conceal the possibility of becoming animal, but also of becoming divine. This is an irony: the more we are moving further in scientific development, the more man is becoming barbarous.



When the mental and emotional activities are completely transformed and sublimated through scientific and spiritual methods, then meditation ensues. Though devoid of all forms, it is the cradle of infinite creativity. Therefore, one who has attained meditation becomes both completely relaxed and creative.



Ignorance of our spiritual being has become a curse that may end up making this marvellous place as our earth become a vestige. Is this what we call civilisation? Can’t we see that all the means have failed? Why not try spirituality or mysticism? So many institutions, religious, social, governmental and others have found the day. Where have they led to?



Occult knowledge of both feminine and masculine psyche is of paramount importance, for only this will make one understand that man and woman are not equal, but they are divine potentials which can be unfolded using their own natural tendencies.

During meditation, the energies that were flowing out through our senses change direction to move inwards. The mental energy, too, is turned upon itself. Therefore, meditation is a change of flux of mental and sensual energy. Simple yet deeply scientific and spiritual in nature, it can make us become a god!



When shall we understand that 95.5% of unconsciousness is not a child’s play to do away with? Psychology and religion will have to join forces so as to help to make the greatest revolution in the psyche of man on an international level. A global mind change is the only thing that can save us from the apocalyptic prediction of St. John. .



"Man and woman, do not consider each other as your enemy, otherwise you may gain nothing but failure. Be ready not to conquer each other, but to merge your forces for your own goodness. Your marriage should be in body, mind, heart and soul, while bearing in mind your freedom."
