How to create positive change! with Murali Venkatrao

Описание: People often say, “a leopard cannot change its spots”. The implication here is that we are doomed to be stuck within the rigid framework of our limitations. And yet, it is the testimony of all saints that our inner Self is not subject to any limitation. As the Bhagavad Gita says: “This Self cannot be cut by weapons, burned by fire, moistened by water, or dried by the wind.”

How do we reconcile these two versions of ourselves?

It all depends on what we identify with. By identifying with form (the body), we are subject to the limitations of that form. When we identify with the Spirit behind the form, we are able to rise above all limitations. Paramhansa Yogananda said that Creation itself is simply a thought in the mind of God. By training our mind to attain deeper and deeper levels of calmness, we learn to perceive the Divine Consciousness that underlies our strengths, limitations, quirks and differences. In this realm of Divine stillness, lifetimes of negative habits can just fall away.

And so emerges the startling answer to the question of “how to create positive change?” By longer and deeper meditation every day.
