Introduction to Himalayan Yoga.
An opinion has been formed that sannyasins should integrate into society
and participate in social and political activities. However, this is an outright mistake.
A sannyasin does not have to become president or leader of a political movement,
they can do anything with their thought vibrations.
They do not have to express themselves publicly although some do.
Those who contemplate in a Himalayan cave and work to cleanse themselves also cleanse the world
and help the world with their spiritual vibrations.
No one can prevent their pure thoughts from going out into the world
and reaching those who really need them.
Those who followed the path of wisdom never built monasteries, never lectured, never published books,
and never had disciples, but in spite of this they had amazing power over other people’s minds.
Swami Sivananda
Some yogis withdraw from society into solitude and live as hermits away from civilization.
But even those meditate for the good of the world. Their mere existence is a blessing to the world.
It is said that the wind that touches the jivanmukta spreads peace, harmony and happiness wherever it blows.
Paramhans Swami Maheshwarananda
To know Brahman, you must acquire faith in the words of the scriptures and in your guru. Let yourself be devoted to Brahman. Meditate on it constantly. Not by deeds, not by offspring, not by wealth, but by devotion to Him and by detachment from the world, does one attain immortality. The supreme heaven shines in the lotus of your heart. That is where those who seek it enter. They have understood the nature of the holy scriptures and are renouncing the world. Withdraw into solitude. Sit in a clean place and assume an upright posture with your head and neck in a straight line. Be indifferent to the world. Keep your senses under control. Bow down to your guru with devotion. Then enter into the lotus of the heart and meditate on Brahman, the pure bliss.
Upanishads
I have no fear of death,
I have no father, no mother,
for I was never born,
I am not a relative, nor a friend,
nor a teacher, nor a student.
I am Shiva, the pure consciousness and bliss.
Sri Shankaracharya
