Your understanding of the astral dimensions can help you alter structures in the physical dimensions. It is in and through the medium of the astral dimensions that all of the siddha powers function and work.

The body is a very low level machine language. The language of the soul, of the mind, is much more evolved.

We may have a tiny little room that we rent, and if we keep it clean and it's impeccable, then we gain a power from that.

To occupy yourself with tasks that are useful to yourself and others, you can get your mind off your problems.

As Buddha points out, you should not rely on the opinions of others for validation of your internal progression.

Try to feel that you are beyond time and space when you practice meditation. Go beyond this world, beyond time, beyond life, not a feeling of being spaced out, but in touch with the moment and with eternity.

I would suggest your awareness is your karma. How you feel generates your level of attention.
