Here is a brief overview of Easwaran’s 8 point program taken from his website;

http://www.easwaran.org/the-eight-point-program.html

Introduction

“Meditating on a memorized inspirational passage is the heart of the program called passage meditation. Seven supporting disciplines are used throughout the rest of the day, helping you go deeper for a lifetime of discovery.

These eight steps are designed for daily practice. Though they may at first seem unrelated, they are closely linked. Quieting your mind in morning meditation, for instance, will help your efforts to slow down at work, and slowing down at work will, in turn, improve your meditation. Hurry at work and your mind will race during meditation; skip meditation and you will find it difficult to be both slow and concentrated.

Some of the steps generate spiritual power while others put it to wise use during the day. Practising all eight creates a balanced approach to spiritual growth, yielding the greatest benefits.

1. Meditation on a Passage

Silent repetition in the mind of memorized inspirational passages from the world’s great religions. Practiced for one-half hour each morning.

2. Repetition of a Mantram

Silent repetition in the mind of a Holy Name or a hallowed phrase from one of the world’s great religions. Practiced whenever possible throughout the day or night.

3. Slowing Down

Setting priorities and reducing the stress and friction caused by hurry.

4. One-Pointed Attention

Giving full concentration to the matter at hand.

5. Training the Senses

Overcoming conditioned habits and learning to enjoy what is beneficial.

6. Putting Others First

Gaining freedom from selfishness and separateness; finding joy in helping others.

7. Spiritual Fellowship

Spending time regularly with others who are practising passage meditation for mutual inspiration and support.

8. Spiritual Reading

Drawing inspiration from writings by and about the world’s great spiritual figures and from the scriptures of all religions. Studying Easwaran’s works for general inspiration and for specific instruction in passage meditation.”

    I have been surfing on-line more than three hours as of late,
    but I never found any fascinating article like yours.
    It is beautiful value enough for me. In my view, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you did, the web will probably
    be much more useful than ever before.
