Afterword. Retreat in Tire 2018 (6th edition).

Proper motivation is the guarantee of an interesting Life.

Did you have this: you woke up in the morning, lazily started the day, with difficulty brewing a cup of tea or coffee, did not want anything, could not work.

However, suddenly reminding himself of something important and immediately inspired and taken over the case. Yes, and how - with excitement and doubled energy. In this or that manifestation, this is typical of each of us - we are able to motivate ourselves when we need it. The problem is only one: you must always remember this.

Five killers of motivation, as a rule, show themselves from the very morning. It is worth not to pay attention to them, as soon as your motivation will suffer.

Three happy days. Retreat in Tire 2018 (5th edition).

Even 6 km before the Ashram, we began to see signs pointing to the Ashram and only after arriving at the territory of the residence of Shri Bhagavat, we saw that we were in a beautiful valley surrounded on all sides by mountains. Leaving the car, we saw Sri Bhagavat coming towards us ...

Sri Bhagavat is the master of the last stage, assuming complete surrender of the mind, which in the spiritual world is called enlightenment.

After a long preparation, the moment comes when the student is ready to receive knowledge of the last stage of training.

It is this teacher that is Sri Bhagavat, who takes the "mature" disciple and directs him exactly into the right Knowledge. Because it is knowledge that provides understanding and is what is called enlightenment and leads to liberation.

10 game.

Making decisions, the warrior is not afraid to remain alone, because he is a free being who proudly bears responsibility for his life. Even when a warrior acts differently than others, and remains without their approval and support, he does not feel himself a victim, because for him to live the life of an impeccable warrior is a high honor.

So, the season of winter remote games is nearing completion. Starting in mid-December, the participants went to a long power rally, with a length of 10 to 12 games, with the duration of the game in each game about a week.

The feature of Remote games is that this power draw lasts

• not one hour (the duration of the consultation), not three days (the duration of internal retreats with Rama) and not even 10 days (the duration of the Samadhi retreat),
• but more than 2.5 months.

Starting this long game, the participants do not yet know what awaits them ahead and with what life experiences they will meet during the game. And since, unlike in-home retreats, distance play is conducted in absolutely real conditions of life, it is also quite natural that with the participants there are both beautiful and the most complex events filled with dramatic experiences. How will the player play? Surrender to the position of the victim or smile to Consciousness, and experience the experience totally?

It is during the distance Games that the player's hardening takes place and his ability to play continuously is formed. From the participant of remote games, a real player is brought up, who is able to play under any circumstances of life. But even if, unnoticed by himself (under the "respectful" excuses of the dwarf), a participant descends from a distance, getting stuck at a certain level of his abilities, he is trained by this experience, as in the future he does not give up ...

About how the players played the drawing of life in the 10th game, read in this news release.

Arunachala. Retreat in Tire 2018 (4th edition).

Arunachala has always remained relatively little known. But for those who comprehend the jnana, Arunachala always makes itself felt through these or those other means.

"All the stones in that place [of Arunachala] are lingams." This is indeed the abode of Lord Siva, the words spoken in the Holy Scripture: "and the meditators there will be absorbed into samadhi, beyond the delusions of the mind." Could there be another place that would be equal to him? "Arunachala Puranam.

9 game.

Meditation slowly and slowly leads you to your enlightenment. Suddenly, one day you realize: where is this darkness? Where is this endless stream of thoughts? Where has the mind disappeared? Suddenly you are absolutely empty, like bamboo. But your emptiness is not emptiness: it is filled with joy and joy. You will dance for no reason, you will sing for no reason, songs that you did not compose, dances that were not taught to you. They just spontaneously arise from your consciousness.

Well, the players continue to play distance games, living the realities of their lives. During the time of remote games, there are various events (both dramatic and happy), but the player must play without forgetting, being in a state of Awareness and remembering: what is reality and what are illusions.

In the footsteps of the retreat "Immersion inside yourself" (from 2 to 5 February 2018).

"Even the most exalted states and the most exceptional spiritual accomplishments turn out to be unimportant if we are not able to be happy in the most basic and ordinary way, if we are not able to touch each other and to the life that has been given to us with our heart." The simple truth matters in the matter of spiritual life: we need to make sure that our Path is connected with our heart. (D. Cornfield).

What distinguishes those who have established themselves in the Path from those who have not yet found their Way?

Where do you think the winners are on the Path? Why do some of them manage to get out of samsara, others all wander in its labyrinths?

About how the work of the next group in the mode of total immersion in itself, read in this news bulletin.

8 game.

There are always people who challenge a person and deserve gratitude for the opportunities that arise while accumulating sufficient awareness, which allows them to destroy a sense of their own importance.
Such people are called small tyrants, but since these small tyrants are a rare luck, they can be divided into four categories ...
On how the players played the drawings of Life in the 8th game, read in this summary of the diary of the sixth Winter Distance Games, Academy of Leela.

 

Giri Pradakshan. Retreat in Thira 2018 (3rd edition).

By the time this article was published, the second week of the retreat in Tiruvannamalai had gone.

And the players have already passed Giri Pradakshanu, bypassing Mount Arunachala during the full moon.

Usually, on the day preceding each full moon, pilgrims go around the temple and the hills of Annamalai in worship called Girivalam, a practice that takes up to one million pilgrims a year. The value of Girivalam (Bypass). The way around Arunachala is 14 kilometers.

Sri Ramana Maharshi once explained the meaning of this word pradakshina and how this should be done with the help of a devotee: "Letter"

• Pra "means the removal of all sins;
• "yes" means fulfilling desires;
• "Kshi" means freedom from future births;
•   "on" stands for giving deliverance through jnana
