“The astral world is infinitely beautiful, clean, pure, and orderly. There are no dead planets or barren lands. The terrestrial blemishes — weeds, bacteria, insects, snakes — are absent. Unlike the variable climates and seasons of the earth, the astral planets maintain the even temperature of eternal spring, with occasional luminous white snow and rain of many-coloured lights. Astral planets abound in opal lakes and bright seas, and rainbow rivers.~ Sri Yukteswar
I’m often reminded of Sri Yukteswar’s quote, from the higher astral realms above, while attempting to meditate on earth, while insects crawl on us, flies openly bite, mosquitoes suck blood and the noise of humans interfere with daily meditation. Also, when it is too 🥶 cold to meditate effectively or too hot 🥵 to do so comfortably.
