The Veda proclaims that "the individual is Cosmic”.
When we practise Vedic Meditation and the individual mind contacts Being, it learns to stop the false assumption that the individual and the Universe “are separate”.
Self-sufficiency is the product that comes from the mind incorporating the inner bliss of Being into our waking state experience. Self-sufficiency allows us to have adaptive responses to demands (changes of expectation) and find within ourselves solutions to life's challenges because fears and doubts about “the world out there, including the people” somehow determining what we experience start diminishing.
Bad decisions are based in fear, which, itself, is a case of mistaken identity.
The home of all the laws of nature, the place wherein perfect balance resides, is within us, beyond thinking, in Being, the direct experience of which attunes us to nature’s way.
Suffering in all its forms, including both individual and collective suffering, comes about when, wittingly or unwittingly, we live in ways that violate the evolutionary need of the time.
As humans upon this Earth we have a unique opportunity to rediscover our truly-never-lost oneness with nature’s intelligence, expressed in our capability to live life in bliss, attuned spontaneously with the laws of nature. This is the true meaning of Self-sufficiency which results in an evenness of mind in pleasure and pain, loss and gain, victory and defeat.
Practising Vedic Meditation twice every day develops Self-sufficiency in a natural, effortless and spontaneous way.
