From the works of Enlightened Master Paramahamsa Nithyananda. Swamiji talks about how people spend lots of energy trying to understand mind thru logic. Logical thinking is part of the mind and its impossible to comprehend mind thru login. This implies that logic cannot anyway be able to comprehend "consciousness" which is beyond mind. Zen trandition has something called "Zen Koans" that are given to the Zen monks to contemplate.These seemingly illogical statements when meditated upon , creates a space to experience consciousness.This is the science behnd the Zen Koans.

  • Zen comes from the word Dhyan which in Sanskrit means meditation. Zen is an offshoot of Sanathana Dharma, the eternal truth which has existed on planet earth eternally.

  • the concept of god is created by man, therefore the god he thinks he knows or believes in doesn't exist. the true god is the one that can never be understood or spoken by man, but only realized and experienced. if you want to find god, start by forgetting everything you think you know.

  • Chutttiya

  • Hypocrite guru... shame to real Indians with stupid analogies and crappy logic. Assole ran away from India when people came to know he is a fraud. Fake ass gurus are Disgrace to humanity and to life itself.

  • Zen is to understand yourself. Koans are the way to do it. When you see and hear clearly, without confusion of random thoughts then your formal Zen koans study is over. To know ultimate Zen is to arrive to a point where attachment to thinking is cut off and your awareness is free from this attachment. You see blue sky, red flower and hear murmur of a brook and you reflecting all these without opinion or view like a mirror. You are still and you remind in samadhi 24/7. Then no hindrance anywhere.

  • The one bit cant understand the whole book.

    That is so true!!!

  • hey u chew lots of books and shed cheap talk,,,it seems u r more in delusion,,,better go to a true teachr and experince the zen,,u hindu people are mixing everything,,,,u r a cheap ass hole

  • ok again the problem here is a person putting them self in a place of power in a religion. with zen we are to believe there is no self there is no other. by this guy getting his head so far up his own ass he should not be fallowed to begin with, no one should be "fallowed" as we westerners tend to do to no matter what.

    any one has something to say tho this hit me up on fb if you really wanna discuss this(brian leary)

  • slow down man more like osho

  • @Zigahertz but I am of the impression that those who do not wish to seek enlightenment will not obtain it.....doesn't make sense as I type it but it's there as a thought I am tripped upon.
