#######################################GONWARD

Onward, Forward, Godward by Swami Sivananda

THE LITTLE 'I' FUSED   I sat alone on a block of stone On the banks of the Ganges or Bhagirathi. Mother Ganges blessed me. I meditated on OM and its meaning - The Word that is the symbol of Brahman. The little personality was lost. The mortal limit of the Self was loosened; But there was infinite extension. I entered into the Nameless Beyond; I realised the quintessential unity of Bliss. No words can describe the thrill of joy, The magnanimous mystic experiences, The supremest and divinest height of felicity!! The little 'I' fused into the incandescent brilliance. Two became one now. It was all Tejomaya Ananda, One mass of transcendental Light Bliss.

[M]eat itself always derives from killing.
If there were no killing,
the lives of animals would remain unharmed.
If there were no meat-eater, there would be no killer.

— Shambhala King Pundarika
(Vimalaprabhā: Great Commentary On The Kālacakra)

People on a vegetarian diet high in nuts, soy, and vegetables are at a lower risk of stroke compared to those who follow dietary patterns that include meat and fish, a study has found.

When the changing states of body-mind are simply left to themselves without any choice or judgment—left unreacted to by a controlling or repressive will—a new quietness emerges by itself.

EMOTIONS AS NEUROPEPTIDES

Earth could continue to host life for at least another 1.75 billion years, as long as nuclear holocaust, an errant asteroid or some other disaster doesn't intervene, a new study calculates. But even without such dramatic doomsday scenarios, astronomical forces will eventually render the planet uninhabitable

BG 13.32: The Supreme Soul is imperishable, without beginning, and devoid of any material qualities, O son of Kunti. Although situated within the body, It neither acts, nor is It tainted by material energy.
