"Men indeed think I have come to bring peace to the worldĀ 

But they do not know that I have come to bring the world discord:

fire, sword, war

Indeed, if there are fiveĀ in a house

they will become three against two and two against three

father against son and son against father

and they will be lifted up, being solitaries."

Ā 

GoT #16

Raja yoga, samadhi, unmani, manonmani, amaratva, laya, tatva,Ā sunya, asunya, parama pada,Ā amanaska,Ā advaita, niralamba, niranjana,Ā jivanmukti, sahaja and turiya denote the same state of being.


Just as with salt dissolved in water becomes one with it, so the union ofĀ AtmanĀ andĀ ManasĀ (mind) is denominated samadhi,
When the breath becomes exhausted, and mind becomesĀ PraliyateĀ (still, reabsorbed), they fuse into union called samadhi.

Ā 

This equality, this oneness of the two, the living self and the absolute self, when allĀ SankalpaĀ (desire, cravings) end is called samadhi.

Ā 

ā€”ā€‰Hath Yoga Pradipika, 4.3 - 4.7

"Cheap spirituality" - I love that phrase.Ā  I put it up there with fake Asian sprituality, "Kung fooey".

Democracy:Ā  The rather naive notion that the greediest of people, working from selfish motives, if left to pursue their interests unimpeded... will somehow work to the benefit of all.

Ā 

Oligarchy:Ā  Born of Democracy.

The greediest of people will keep doing what they do regardless of the government they have in their pockets.

"Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence. True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation." - George Washington
