Sacred fire

Considering all experiences and memories sacred, the mind should consign them to the holy fire of emptiness, from where they originated. From emptiness to emptiness, the journey of the creations of the mind is completed.

humbling experience

Humbling experiences should be used to teach the mind the follies of overt and hidden egotism.
A truly humble mind is a vessel in which truth comes pouring in.

Attachment

Attachment is a way of resisting change. The fact is behind the curtains of seemingly normal activity, differential changes happen continuously. Sometimes, these changes manifest themselves in a big event, and our lives gets shaken up. After experiencing sorrow, the mind settles down in its normal routine. The mind has to learn when shaken up by attachment. It has to realize the ever changing and impermanent nature of the manifest world ( both inner and outer). This deepening awareness has a stilling effect on the mind, a loss of disturbances. Only then can we feel the dynamic, non causal happiness that is the part of creation.

Let me merge with my attachment,
my ever lasting pain, my continuous restlessness.
Let me merge with my pleasures and rising elation,
my victories, my revenge
Separation always breeds sorrow
let me merge with my loved one
for there may not be tomorrow.

resolving psychological issues

All psychological problems should be approached in a friendly manner. Making them an enemy, makes the mind stiff and divided. The problems must dissolve, like sugar in heated water. An attempt to crack them open will lead to further distortions.

Harmony

The harmony in consciousness is necessary for individual and world peace. The fragmentary movement of thought, with one end rooted in the thinker, obstructing complete perception is the root cause of disharmony. Object of meditation is the unification of consciousness.
