MESSAGE FOR CONTEMPLATION.252

Radhe krishna, Good morning and have a blessed day, THRATAK Swami Sivananda It is nothing but steady gazing at a particular object or point without winking. It is one of the six purificatory exercises for developing concentration and mental focusing. The following are the simple ways of doing Thratak: (i) Gaze at the picture of the Lord the Saviour. (ii) Gaze at a BLACK DOT on white background, or a white one on a black background. (iii) Draw Om on a piece of paper and gaze at it. (iv) Lie down on a terrace and gaze at a particular bright star. (v) Select any open space in the sky in the morning and in the evening and gaze at that. This is one step further, a fine-tuning of your discrimination. Supposing a thing is not positively and actually harmful or unfavourable, but it is unnecessary; it consumes your time. Then,in truth, it means that it deprives you of time which might have been utilised in sadhana. It may not be seemingly contrary to sadhana, but, in essence, it is contrary to sadhana because it has robbed you of a chance and a scope for furthering your spiritual life. Swami Chidananda. The whole effort of life is nothing but a progressive movement towards harmony of personality with the environment outside in various degrees and stages. The whole thing that you are doing is a cosmic work. It is not some person doing, somewhere sitting in one corner. Every activity is a Cosmic Action taking place through every individuality, at all times. - Swami Krishnananda.
