Precepts as spelt out by Swami Bhoomananda Tirtha |
 |
| 1. |
Recognize
the entire world to be a wholesome manifestation of
God |
|
|
| 2. |
Cultivate
ever-abiding love towards all beings. Express it
more on mankind. |
|
|
| 3. |
Never
attribute fault to anyone or anything. Instead, seek
to know the good ingrained in each. |
|
|
| 4. |
Regulate
the senses. Sublimate the mind. Practise divine
introspection. By this three-fold means derive the
knowledge of Brahman. |
|
|
| 5. |
Resolve that sarveswara-darsana
(the vision of the one God in all) alone is life's
fulfillment and transform your entire life into a
magnificent sadhana (seeking) for accomplising it.
Then indeed will emerge peace and blessedness
everywhere, always. |
| Teachings |
|
Swamiji's special effort has been to make seekers understand
that the real focus
- of devotional practices is not God,
but the devotee's own mind and behaviour,
- of karmayoga
is not action but the yogic orientation of the mind of the
actor,
- of knowledge is not knowledge, but the self-improvement
and self-purification of the practitioner.
It means essentially
to make the outgoing mind look inward for the solution of
any problem in human life.
Inner Resources Development
All the sciences and technologies are mostly aimed at identifying
and harnessing the external resources of nature as held by
earth, water and air, light and other forms of energy. Parallel
to this, the human personality preserves within itself enormous
resources, which are the key to any human achievement.
'Inner Resources Development' is Swamiji's unique and systematic
approach which guides modern day aspirants to identify, understand
and harness this limitless inner potential and find
joy and fulfillment in all spheres of human endeavour.
Interactional Saadhana
Though extremely rational and scientific, the discovery and development of Inner Resources do not involve any external laboratory.
The mind and intelligence are the only constituents to get
you where you want, in achieving what you aim at. The search
makes you turn inward and look for your own inner depth and
magnitude.
Saadhana is the process of actualizing knowledge - transforming
spiritual knowledge into a living source of strength, confidence,
creativity and magnificence.
'Interactional Saadhana' is the saadhana that takes place
when you are at your home, working in your office, or doing
anything else. Every interaction is a unique opportunity for
developing and refining your inner resources.
