The Law of Success

Jai Gopal — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 20:21:43 +0000

I have this little book called The Law of Success by Parmahansa Yogananda and it’s the greatest bit of wisdom. Very to the point, it’s multi-layered in its depth. The following is a great excerpt about Destiny. Enjoy

YOU CAN CONTROL DESTINY

Mind is the creator of everything. You should therefore guide it [...]

Charging for Yoga Classes: Greed or Good Practice?

Jai Gopal — Thu, 14 Feb 2008 21:23:09 +0000

This was in response to a post on the kundalini yoga teacher’s forum, subject: knowledge should be free. The gist was that this person thought it was hypocritical to charge for passing on spiritual teachings. The following is a response.

Many people believe that spiritual knowledge should be free. In many ways it [...]

The Paradox of Prayer & Healing

Jai Gopal — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 20:59:19 +0000

Praying for the healing of others heals you by default. By sending out light and loving thoughts to people in your life, you actually heal yourself. It came to me in a meditation recently that since all things are of this one universal energy (some people calls it God, some people calls it [...]

Bits of Wisdom from My Teacher

Jai Gopal — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 18:19:56 +0000

I was on a workshop recently with my teacher, Harijiwan and in the midst of all of the discussions I was compelled to write down certain things because they resonated with such brilliance. The italics represent my commentary.

“Expectations are resentments waiting to happen.” (actually said by a woman named Carol rephrasing what Harijiwan [...]

Random Thoughts…

I was going through a file drawer the other day and came across all these scraps of paper I’d written spiritual thoughts on… Here they are.

At a cafe called Fruition in NW Portland, OR —

The best thing that can happen to you is that you experience God in you as a projection of your soul [...]

Jai Gopal — Sun, 30 Dec 2007 23:27:20 +0000

This is an interesting poem from an Indiapost.com article entitled: Hafiz Expressed Divine Ecstasy in Poetry, about the Sufi mystical poet Shams al-Din Hafiz, mentioned by Rumi throughout his works -

Someone Should Start Laughing

MEDITATION: For Patience, Tolerance and Self-Respect

Jai Gopal — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 21:17:38 +0000

When you first get on a spiritual path, looking within, you start to see the garbage in you that you weren’t previously conscious of. Looking within can be a dirty job. The negative mind becomes magnified and amplified. All your flaws become bigger and your self-loathing is right there in your face.

Kundalini Yoga: Path of the Householder

Jai Gopal — Wed, 15 Aug 2007 20:14:15 +0000

When people get on a spiritual path often they think that they have to renounce everything. It’s a concept that keeps many from deeply exploring their own soul. It’s a function of duality. Many people, because religion has misled them, have a belief that you can’t be spiritual and still live a material [...]

The Power of Intention, Resistance and The Law of Attraction

Jai Gopal — Thu, 31 May 2007 01:14:58 +0000

When you set an intention, it’s like making a decision about what you wish to attract to yourself. When you decide something absolutely, the universe then responds based on your thoughts. If there is enough of belief behind your thoughts then what you want to attract to yourself will be pulled to [...]

I was talking with my class about this earlier today. Spirituality is between you and the creator. Any human being, even the most saintly among them is going to have imperfections. Don’t get me wrong, there are some damn good humans out there but each one of them has the same temptations [...]
