 ======================================================================= ====================================================================== Sunday, May 29, 2022. 19:00. Discourse -2.  Post -10. ======================================================================= The second boon represents the cosmical identification of the individual psychological unit. You become cosmically aware of things.  While in the first stage of your union with the physical forces of nature—the result of the first tapas, the first fast, the effect of your attunement with the physical universe—you become abundant in material possession, rich in every sense of the term,  now, in the second stage, you become rich in knowledge, also. A yogi is rich physically, and also psychologically.  A yogi is not a poor person. He has everything with him. Even the richest man of the world cannot be equal to the yogi in the wealth of possession.  He can command everything in the world.  H. H. Sri Swami Sivanandaji Maharaj

 =============================================================== =============================================================== Sunday, May 08, 2022. 21:00. Discourse -2.  Post -9. =============================================================== "āpῡryamāṇam acala-pratiṣṭhaṁ samudram āpaḥ praviśanti yadvat; tadvat kāmā yam praviśanti sarve sa śāntim āpnoti na kāma-kāmī." says the Bhagavadgita. As rivers enter the ocean from all sides, all that you need will come to you like a flood coming from different directions. You need not run after the world; the world will run after you. You need not ask for anything from the world; it will come to you automatically, without your asking for it. This is the first boon, due to the first tapas of Nachiketas. The second tapas is of a psychological character. This second day's fast of Nachiketas represents the subdual of the mind, not merely of the senses. When the mind is disciplined properly, it gradually gets attuned to the cosmos. T
