We all notice the effects that words
can have on us. Whether they are positive or negative, words
from others have a way of resonating in our being. When we
focus on and engage with the words of the sages, the words
of the Guru, we are actually imbibing the outlook of the enlightened
ones. Their words constantly point us back to our own higher
Self and uplift our state.
When we study and contemplate the teachings, our awareness
expands. We allow the teachings to shape our life in an
exalted way. Then these teachings become our own and rise
up of their own accord to help us live our life in harmony
with the highest truths.
In Siddha Yoga meditation centers, at retreats, and at
home we study to continually take our understanding of the
teachings, and our skill in performing the Siddha Yoga practices,
to deeper and deeper levels. Through study we also find
practical ways to apply what we learn to our life. One of
the central ways in which we can develop our study is by
participating in the Siddha Yoga Home Study Course.
