Re: this is absolutely fascinating....
I am so glad to know that you find it so, lionreign, and your readings are an encouragement for me. In fact, the knowledge one gains from a serious reading, it's discursive, is like weaving a thread of organic unity into a fine fabric. I thank you much, lion.

I will come back to read this more fully - it ties in a great deal with a lot of things I have read and that I value

I found this to be very revealing:
The Blessed Lord said: One who renounces all desires for sense gratification emanating from the mind and finds repose in one’s own self, know him to be the man of steadfast intellect. And now I am excited to learn of yoga knowledge! sam

shobana,
This one in particular, shobana is worth keeping in mind. It is the whole sequence of how attachment can be so very poisonous to one's path of progress, ultimately leading to his fall. Interestingly, the objects of desire is called 'vishaya' in Sanskrit, and
vish in Hindi means poison. So the lesson is be aware, don't fall into the trap. When one is careful it is easy to circumvent the path of fall. Thank you so much for your reading.

Re: WelI I am really doing some deep and meaningful reading here
I am glad that you are able to appreciate the Eastern thinking. They do take one to high flights of the imagination and makes one reflect, even meditate on the sense; they do come very slowly and gradually, and when they come they make one feel that something in his understanding, something in his personality, has undergone a cathartic change in his perceptive quality, it is analogous to that of medicine to the mind. And there is no insistence too. You are free to take it or leave it. That is the beauty.

Through concentrating on the objects of the senses is formed attachment; with attachment arises the desire for acquisition; frustration in failure to acquire leads to anger; under anger’s hypnotic spell deluded are the senses; with the senses deluded evaporate all memory in past learning; bewildered thus, the discerning ability of the intellect is lost, and with intellect destroyed, a man falls. - I thought these lines excellent abanerjee. Thanks for the visit.

WelI I am really doing some deep and meaningful reading here
and learning about philosophies that are very interesting and how the Eastern thinking ties together the different masters whose wisdomI believe comes from God. My take on this anyway.
