What about feelings and emotions ( Vipassana and Bhakti)
Vipassana :The feeling and emotions of a vipassana sadhak are eradicated by equanimity to nothing or void since this path takes one there. Hence Metta Meditation is the positive and very essential part after Vipassna Mediation.
Bhakti : ( by Swami Vivekananda)
"In Bhakti-Yoga the central secret is, therefore, to know that the various passions, and feelings, and emotions in the human heart are not wrong in themselves; only they have to be carefully controlled and given a higher and higher direction, until they attain the very highest condition of excellence.
The highest direction is that which takes us to God; every other direction is lower. We find that pleasures and pains are very common and oft-recurring feelings in our lives. When a man feels pain, because he has not wealth or some such worldly thing, he is giving a wrong direction to the feeling. Still, pain has its uses. Let a man feel pain that he has not reached the Highest, that he has not reached God, and that pain will be to his salvation. When you become glad that you have a handful of coins, it is a wrong direction given to the faculty of joy; it should be given a higher direction, it must be made to serve the Highest Ideal. Pleasure in that kind of ideal must surely be our highest joy. This same thing is true of all our other feelings. The Bhakta says that not one of them is wrong, he gets hold of them all and points them unfailingly towards God."

Eradication of Karmas ( VIpassana and Bhakti)
Eradication of Karma Sanskars
------------------------------------
Vipassana: Bad Karma arises as unpleasant sensation which on observing equanimously, it gets eradicated without new seed. Good Karma arises as pleasant subtle sensations which on observing equanimouly , gets eradicated without new seed.
Bhakti: Bad Karma melts away in the fire of seperation from God where as Good Karma melts away with intense pleasure derived from mediatiing on God. Source : Words of Swami Vivekananda on Bhakti Yoga.
" Until the bondages of the soul pass away, it cannot of course be free, whatever may be the nature of the path that the religious man takes. Here is a passage showing how, in the case of one of the blessed Gopis, the soul-binding chains of both merit and demerit were broken. “The ntense pleasure in meditating on God took away the binding effects of her good deeds. Then her intense misery of soul in not attaining unto Him washed off all her sinful propensities; and then she became free.” (Vishnu-Purâna)."

Grace of Radha-Krishna
Two days back I wrote that if God is there , Let him grace me else i am going full stream towards Vipassana .. a dissolution of soul.
Today I am graced. I intend to leave Vipassana and start my Bhakti Practise again. The divine sweetnees for heart and the divine knowledge/wisdom for mind gained by grace of Radha-Krishna has brought in these changes.
Now I will start real serious Bhakti.. the ultimate selfless service to Radha-Krishna.
The so called conflict of teachings of Buddha and Krishna now seems to be in harmony. Each teaching is important and useful given various external factors and its nice to see how the two teachings merge.
Now my heart and mind are one towards Bhakti.

Buddha and Krishna
As of today , labor day long weekend, a cry from pain from heart came due to differences in the teaching of buddha and krishna. Buddha said there is no self and no God. Krishna said I am God and you are soul and this body is just a cloth. The sweetness of bhakti and bliss of just being aware which i have experienced , i need to say bhakti is sweeter. i would also need to say as of now that however if vipassana is applied on bhakti experience .. the sweetness also melts away just like waves.
One thing is clear from both teachings. That I am definitely not this body and i still think i am this body. How do i remove this ignorance? Bhakti or Vipassana or both. I dont think both can go along together since both systems contradicts each other. I will go with Vipassana as of now. If God as personified is there , He will know my sincere longing and dedication.
I leave to Him to grace me with His wisdom and His love. I shall go with my matter based awareness of this body since i , with my limited ability can only feel this gross body , mind and their waves.
I firmly believe "no one harm himself knowingly. no one does wrong knowingly since doing wrong always harm the doer first". For this I dont need Buddha or Krishna to verify. My inner self is sufficient.
Now from 4th Sep 2007, my real journey will begin and no power of this world would be able to stop it. If there is Lord Krishna ,let Him come and grace me and turn me towards Bhakti else i am moving towards dissolution of everything towards Nirvana.
