MIND AND THE BODY (YOGI)

 

          

                              OUR MIND AND THOUGHTS

                     SUTRA 32

                     MURUDHA-JYOTISI SIDDHA-DARSANAM

               BY CONTEMPLATION ON THE BRIGHTNESS IN THE HEAD, VISIONS OF GREAT SIDDHAS ARISE.

                   THE CENTRE REFERRED TO IS THE SAHASRARA CHAKRA AND THE  BRAHMARANDHRA AT THE BACK OF THE BRAIN CENTRE AND THE MEDULLA OBLANGATA

                    SUTRA 33

                    PRATIBHAD-VA SARVAM

                 HAVING DEVELOPED INTUITION, EVERYTHING SUBTLE CAN BE SEEN AND UNDERSTOOD.

                    SUTRA 34

                        HRDAYE CITTA- SAMVIT

                        BY CONTEMPLATING ON THE HEART, ONE CAN BEGIN UNDERTANDING THE MIND.

                            THE REFERS NOT TO THE PHYSICAL HEART BUT TO THE ANAHATA  CHAKRA IN THE CENTRE OF THE CHEST BEHIND THE STERNUM. IT IS ACTUALLY LOCATED IN THE SPINE.

                    SUTRA 35

                         SATTVA - PURUSAYOR ATYANTA- ASAMKIRNAYOH PRATYAYA-

                       AVISESAH- BHOGAH PARA- ARTHATVAT - SVARTHA- SAMYANAT

                       PURUSA- JNANAM

                    BETWEEN PURE PURUSHA AND PERFECTLY CLEAR SATTVA, THERE IS VERY LITTLE DISCTINCTION. WHEN THIS IS UNDERTOOD, IT IS CLEAR THAT PURE SATTVA IS ONLY FOR THE PURPOSE OF KNOWING THE PURUSHA. IN SAMYAMA OR PURE SATTVA, THERE IS KNOWLEDGE OF PURUSHA.

                    SUTRA 36

                      TATAH PRATIBHA- SRAVANA - VEDANA- ADARSA - ASVADA-VARTA

                    JAYANTE

                      INTUITIVE HEARING, TOUCHING, SEEING, TASTING AND SMELLING OF ALL THE SENSE ORGANS ARE HEIGHTENED AS A RESULT.

                  SUTRA 37

                   TE SAMADHAV UPASARGAH- VYUTTHANE SIDDHAYAH

                  IN THE HIGHST SAMADHI, THERE IS NO DESIRE FOR EVEN THESE YOGIC POWERS.

                  SUTRA 38

                   BADNHA-KARANA-SAITHILYAT PRACARA - SAMVEDANAT CA

                 CITTASYA PARA - SARIRA - AVESAH

                     WITH THE RELAXATION CAUSED BY THE LOOSENING OF BONDAGE FROM THE MIND, IT CAN ENTER INTO ANOTHER'S MIND AND THEREBY, INTO ANOTHER MANIFESTATION.

                   THE MIND IS CAPABLE OF ENTERING AND UNDERSTANDING OTHER MINDS AND AFTER LEAVING THE BODY, IT CAN EVEN CHOOSE A NEW EMBODIMENT.

                   SUTRA 39

                    UDANA- JAYAT JALA- PANKA- KANTAKA ADISU- ASINGAH

                    UKRANTIS CA UDANA

                    FROM MASTERING THE UDANA OR THE UPWARD GOING BREATH, THERE IS LOOSENING OF ATTACHMENT TO THE ELEMENTS OF WATER, MUD AND THORNS AND RISING ABOVE THIS.

                      THIS IS TO DO WITH PRANAYAMA, BY MASTERING THE UPWARD BREATH THAT IS LINKED TO INHALATION , THE YOGI'S MIND RISES ABOVE THE DISTRACTIONS OF THE ELEMENTS OF NATURE.
