THE TRUTH OF RISE AND FALL!

 

                                  HOW TO PRACTICE

                              THE MIND TO BE CALM!

                                                            💫💟

                                   SAMADHI PRACTICE (YOGA)

                                                           💫💟

                        THE PRACTICE OF SAMADHI AND MINIMISING THE PAIN-BEARING OBSTRUCTIONS.

                           MOST OF US MAKE OUR MINDS LIKE SPOILED CHILDREN, ALLOWING  THEM TO DO WHATEVER THEY WANT. THEREFORE IT IS NECESSARY THAT THERE SHOULD BE CONSTANT PRACTICE OF THE PREVIOUS MORTIFICATIONS IN ORDER TO GAIN CONTROL OF THE MIND. AND BRING IT INTO SUBJECTION. THE OBSTRUCTIONS TO YOGA ARISE FROM LACK OF THIS CONTROL, AND CAUSE US PAIN. THEY CAN ONLY BE REMOVED BY DENYTHING THE MIND. AND HOLDING IT IN CHECK, THROUGH THESE VAROUS MEANS.

               💫💟

                           THE PAIN-BEARING OBSTRUCTIONS ARE - IGNORANCE, EGOISM, ATTACHMENT, AVERSION, AND CLINGING TO LIFE.

                           THESE ARE THE FIVE PARTS, THE FIVEFOLD TIE THAT BLINDS US DOWN. OF COUSE IGNORANCE IS THE MOTHER OF ALL THE REST. SHE IS THE ONLY CAUSE OF ALL OUR MISERY. WHAT ELSE CAN MAKE US MISERABLE? THE NATURE OF THE SOUL IS ETERNAL BLISS. WHAT CAN MAKE IT SORROWFUL EXCEPT IGNORANCE, HALLUNINATION DELUSION, ALL THIS PAIN OF THE SOUL IS SIMPLY DELUSION.

                 💫💟

                     IGNORANCE IS THE PRODUCTIVE FIELD OF ALL THEM THAT FOLLOW, WHETHER THEY ARE DORMANT, ATTENUATED, OVERPOWERED, OR EXPLAINED.

                     IMPRESSION ARE THE CAUSE OF THESE, AND THESE IMPRESSIONS EXIST IN DIFFERENT DEGREES. THERE ARE THE DORMANT.  YOU OFTEN HEAR THE EXPRESSION "INNOCENT AS A BABY", YET IN THE BABY MAY BE THE STATE OF A DEMON OR A GOD WHICH WILL COME OUT BY AND BY. IN THE YOGI THESE IMPRESSIONS, THE SAMSKARAS LEFT BY PAST ACTIONS, ARE ATTENUATED, THAT IS, IN A VERY FINE STATE, AND HE CAN CONTROL THEM, AND NOT ALLOW THEM TO BECOME MANIFEST. OVERPOWERED MEANS THAT SOMETIMES ONE SET OF IMPRESSIONS IS HELD DOW FOR A WHILE BY THOSE THAT ARE STRONGER, BUT THEY WILL COME OUT WHEN THAT ARE STRONGER, BUT THEY WILL COME OUT WHEN THAT REPRESSING CAUSE IS REMOVED. THE LAST STATE IS THE EXPANDED. WHEN THE SAMSKARAS, HAVING HELPFUL SURROUNDINGS, HAVE ATTAINED TO GREAT ACTIVTY, EITHER AS GOOD OR EVIL.

                      💫💟

                    IGNORANCE IS TAKING THAT WHICH IS NON-ETERNAL, IMPURE, PAINFUL, AND NON-SELF, FOR THE ETERNAL, PURE, HAPPY, ATMAN (SELF).

                        ALL THESE VARIOUS SORTS OF IMPRESSION HAVE ONE SOURCE IGNORANCE, WE HAVE FIRST TO LEARN WHAT IGNORANCE IS. ALL OF US THINK THAT "I AM THE BODY", AND NOT THE SELF, THE PURE, THE EFFULGENT, THE EVER BLISSFUL,  AND THAT IS IGNORANCE. WE THINK OF MAN, AND SEE MAN AS BODY. THIS IS THE GREAT DELUSION.

                   THE FIRST MANIFESTATION OF THIS REPETITION AND THINKNG OF OM WILL BE THAT THE INTROSPECTIVE POWER  WILL BE MANIFESTED MORE AND MORE, AND ALL THE MENTAL AND PHYSICAL OBSTACLES WLL BEGIN TO VANISH. WHAT ARE THE OBSTACLES TO THE YOGI?

                 💫💟

                     DISEASE, MENTAL LAZINESS, DOUBT, CALMNESS, CESSATION, FALSE PERCEPTION, NON-ATTAINING CONCENTRATION, ARE THE OBSTRUCTING DISTRACTIONS.

                     DISEASE. THIS BODY IS THE BOAT WHICH WILL CARRY US TO THE OTHER SHORE OF THE OCEAN OF LIFE. IT MUST BE TAKEN CARE OF. UNHEALTHY PERSONS CANNOT BE YOGIS. MENTAL LAZINESS MAKES US LOSE ALL LIVELY INTEREST IN THE SUBJECT. WITHOUT WHICH THERE WILL NEITHER BE THE WILL NOR THE ENERGY TO PRACTICE. DOUBTS WILL ARISE IN THE MIND ABOUT THE TRUTH OF THE SCIENCE, HOWEVER STRONG ONE'S INTELLECTUAL CONVICTION MAY BE, UNTIL CERTAIN PECULIAR PSYCHIC EXPERIENCE COME, AS HEARING, OR SEEING, AT A DISTANCE, ETC.

                   💫💟

                    THESE GLIMPSES STRENGTHEN THE MIND AND MAKE THE STUDENT PERSEVERE. FALLING AWAY WHEN ATTAINED. SOME SAYS OR WEELS WHEN YOU ARE PRACTISING THE MIND WILL BE CALM AND EASILY CONCENTRATED, AND YOU WILL FIND YOURSELF WILL STOP  ONE DAY. AND YOU WILL FIND YOURSELF PROGRESSING FAST. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE PROGRESS WILL STOP ONE DAY, AND YOU WILL FIND YOURSELF, IT WERE, STRANDED. PERSEVERE. ALL PROGRESS PROCEEDS BY RISE AND FALL.

THE CONTENT OF YOUR MIND

 

                                 THE STUPID MIND

                                                                👀👀

                       ❤👉

                       IF YOU WANT TO IGNORE THE CONTENT OF YOUR MIND, IF YOU ARE WILLING, ONE THING YOU CAN DO IS, "I AM STUPID" IF YOU THE STUPID, YOU WILL NOT ATTACH ANY SIGNIFICANCE TO YOUR THOUGHT. IF YOU THINK, " I AM VERY SMART", YOU WILL ATTACH TOO MUCH IMPORTANCE TO YOUR THOUGHT. YOU JUST HAVE TO SEE, " I AM QUITE STUPID".

                    IT TAKES A LOT OF INTELLIGENCE TO SEE, "I AM STUPID".THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A STUPID PERSON AND AN INTELLIGENCE ONE IS THAT AN INTELLIGENT PERSON KNOWS HE IS STUPID, BUT AN IDIOT DOES NOT. LOOK AT IT IN TERMS OF EXISTENCE AND YOU. IF YOU LOOK AT WITH WHAT ORGANIZATION, CAPABILITY AND CERTAINTY A SIMPLE ANT IS CONDUCTING ITS LIFE, YOU WILL SEE THAT YOU QUITE STUPID. HAVE YOU SEEN, EVEN A SIMPLE ANT SUCH A TINY THING - IS DEAD SURE OF WHAT HE WANTS WITH HIS LIFE. HE KNOWS WHAT TO EAT, WHAT NOT TO EAT, WHAT IS NOURISHING FOR HIM, WHAT IS NOT. HE DOES NOT READ THAT MICRO-PRINT ON THE BACK OF THE PACKAGE. HE JUST KNOWS WHAT HE WANTS.

                        ❤👉

                        IF YOU LOOK AT EVERY LIFE, IF YOU LOOK AT HOW EVERY ATOM IS FUNCTIONING, YOU WILL REALIZE YOU ARE STUPID. EVERYTHING IN EXISTENCE IS HAPPENING WITH A PHENOMENAL SENSE OF INTELLIGENCE THE VERY SOIL YOU WALK UPON IS TREMENDOUSLY INTELLIGENT. IF YOU PLANT A MANGO SEED AND A NEEM SEED, THE MANGO PRODUCES SWEETNESS, THE NEEM PRODUCES BITTERNESS. IT IS THE SAME SOIL. HAS THE LAND EVER BECOME A LITTLE CONFUSED AND MADE MANGOS COME OUT OF A NEED SEED? EVERYTHING IS SPOT ON. EVEN INANIMATE THINGS ARE DEAD SURE OF WHAT THEY ARE DOING. THE ONLY CONFUSED FOOL IS A HUMAN BEING.

                   IF YOU KNOW "I AM STUPID" THEN YOU WILL NOT ATTACH TOO MUCH IMPORTANCE TO YOUR THOUGHT AND YOU WILL START LOOKING AT LIFE. IF YOU START LOOKING AT LIFE MORE, YOUR INTELLIGENCE WILL DEFINITELY FLOWER. THEN, THOUGHT IS NOT A PROCESS, THOUGHT IS NOT A PROBLEM, BECAUSE NOT MUCH THOUGHT WILL BE THERE. IF YOU DON'T PAY ANY ATTENTION TO YOUR THOUGHT, IT WILL JUST DIE. DON'T PAY ATTENTION TO IT. BUT YOU CANNOT STOP PAYING ATTENTION TO IT UNLESS YOU THINK OR SEE THAT YOUR THOUGHTS ARE SO PETTY AND QUITE STUPID COMPARED TO THE REST OF THE EXISTENCE. WITHOUT A SINGLE THOUGHT ON THEIR MIND, AN ANT, A BIRD, AND A BEE ALL JUST KNOW WHAT TO DO.

                        ❤👉

                     IF YOU BECOME LIKE THIS, ONCE IN A WAY WHEN YOU CONSCIOUSLY THINK, IT WILL BE CRYSTAL CLEAR. IT WILL BE LIKE A KNIFE WHICH CUTS THROUGH EVERYTHING. RIGHT NOW, THOUGHT IS ALL OVER THE PLACE, SO IT HAS NO PENETRATION. IF YOU REST IT, ONCE IN A WAY WHEN YOU PULL OUT YOUR SWORD, IT WILL CUT THROUGH EVERYTHING. BUT IF YOU ARE DOING THIS WITH EVERYTHING THAT COMES YOUR WAY ALL THE TIME, YOUR SWORD WILL BECOME LIKE A STICK. YOU MUST KEEP IT SHEATHED. THEN, WHEN YOU PULL IT OUT WHEN YOU NEED IT, IT IS USEFUL WEAPON.

                             ❤👉

                           SO DON'T TRY TO HAVE PURE THOUGHTS. PURE THOUGHTS ARE MOST DANGEROUS BECAUSE YOU WILL GET TERRIBLY ATTACHED TO THEM. WHAT IS A PURE THOUGHT? IS THERE SUCH A THING? THERE IS NOTHING PURE OR IMPURE ABOUT A THOUGHT. WHATEVER THE CONTENT OF YOUR MIND, IT JUST THROWS ITSELF OUT. DON'T PAY ANY ATTENTION TO IT UNLESS YOU CONSCIOUSLY BRING IT FORTH. IF YOU CONSCIOUSLY GENERATE A THOUGHT, THAT IS DIFFERENT. THEN YOU WILL NATURALLY CREATE THE KIND OF THOUGHT YOU WANT. OTHERWISE, THESE THOUGHTS ARE JUST RANDOM HAPPENINGS THAT SHOULD STOP.

                          ❤👉

                      IF THOUGHTS ARE GOING ON CONTINUOUSLY, IF YOU ARE HAVING MENTAL DIARRHEA, YOU OBVIOUSLY ATE SOME BAD FOOD. YOU HAVE PHYSICAL DIARRHEA BECAUSE YOU EAT BAD FOOD. IF YOU HAVE MENTAL DIARRHEA, YOU OBVIOUSLY CONSUMED SOMETHING WRONG. THE MOMENT YOU IDENTIFY YOURSELF WITH SOMETHING THAT YOU ARE NOT, YOU ARE FINISHED YOUR MIND IS IN A CONTINOUS RUN. THERE IS NO OTHER WAY. DO WHAT YOU WANT, TRY AS HARD AS YOU WANT, IT IS NOT GOING TO STOP. BUT IF YOU TAKE AWAY THESE IDENTITIES, IF YOU SIMPLY SIT HERE AS A PIECE OF LIFE NOT AS A MAN OR A WOMAN, NOT AS A HINDU OR A CHRISTIAN, NOT AS AN INDIAN OR AN AMERICAN, NOT AS ANYTHING - SIMPLY AS A PIECE OF LIFE, YOU WILL SEE, THE MIND WILL BECOME STILL. NOW, WHEN YOU WANT TO THINK, YOU CAN THINK, BUT IF YOU DON'T WANT TO THINK, YOU DON'T THINK. THAT IS HOW IT SHOULD BE.

                      ❤👉

                        IF I WANT TO MOVE MY HAND, I MOVE MY HAND. IF I DON'T WANT TO, I KEEP IT STILL. THIS IS A USEFUL BODY. SUPPOSE IT WAS MOVING ALL THE TIME, WOULDN'T THIS BE A CRAZY BODY? IF THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING TO YOUR MIND, IS THAT NOT A CRAZY MIND? YOUR ONLY COMFORT IS THAT OTHERS CANNOT SEE IT. IF YOUR BODY DID IT, EVERYONE COULD SEE IT. WHEN YOUR MIND DOES IT, EVERYONE CANNOT SEE IT, BUT PEOPLE CAN SEE IT IF THEY WATCH YOU CLOSE ENOUGH. IF SOMEONE IS A LITTLE AWARE, THEY CAN VERY CLEARLY SEE IT.

THE TRUTH OF OUR MIND

 

                          HOW OUR MIND IS WORKING

                                               ❤❤

                      SHOULD YOU SEE, 

                          THE WAY OF THE BUDDHA

                    ALL NIGHT LONG,

                             SEARCHING, YOU WILL ENTER

                     INTO YOUR OWN MIND

                               SHOULD YOU SEEK

                     THE WAY OF THE BUDDHA

                                  ALL NIGHT LONG...

                                             ❤❤

                      THE ORDINARY MIND IS INTERESTED IN THE OUTSIDE. THE OUTSIDE IS INTRIGUING, WONDROUS, WORTH EXPLORING. SO WE EXPLORE IT FOR MONEY, FOR PRESTIGE, FOR OTHER THINGS, AND THEN ONE DAY WHEN WE ARE FINISHED WITH THE SO CALLED WORLDLY THINGS AND WE START LOOKING AGAIN FOR A MASTER, FOR BUDDHA, FOR CHRIST-STILL OUTSIDE! WE START LOOKING FOR THE WAY, BUT STILL OUTSIDE. AND THE BUDDHA IS NOT FOUND OUTSIDE. AND THE WAY IS NOT FOUND OUTSIDE.

                                               ❤❤

                               SHOULD YOU SEEK

                                  THE WAY OF THE BUDDHA

                             ALL NIGHT LONG...

                                               ❤❤

                       AND YOU CAN GO ON SEEKING ALL NIGHT LONG, THIS DARK NIGHT FOR MILLIONS OF LIVES, AND YOU WILL NOT FIND ANYTHING ... EXCEPT THIS TRUTH. IF YOU STUMBLE UPON IT YOU ARE FORTUNATE.

                                                     ❤❤

                                 SEARCHING, YOU WILL ENTER

                                     INTO YOUR OWN MIND.

                                                     ❤❤

                      IF YOU CAN FIND ONLY ONE THING OUT OF ALL KINDS OF FRUSTRATIONS THAT THERE IS NOTHING TO BE FOUND IN THE OUTSIDE, NOTHING AT ALL - AND SEEING IT, REALIZING IT, YOU TURN IN, THEN YOU OWN MIND IS THE WHOLE THING, THEN INSIDE YOU IS ALL.

                                                        ❤❤

                                  SEARCHING, YOU WILL ENTER

                                         INTO YOUR OWN MIND.

                                                       ❤❤

 

                           BY AND BY, AS YOU GO DEEPER INTO YOUR OWN MIND, YOU PENETRATE FROM MIND  TO NO-MIND. THE SUPERFICIAL LAYER IS OF THE MIND, BUT THE INNER CONTENT IS OF NO-MIND. THE SUPERFICIAL LAYER IS OF THE EGO, THE INNER CONTENT IS OF EGOLESSNESS. IF YOU ENTER IN, FIRST YOU WILL COME ACROSS MIND, THOUGHTS, DESIRES, FANTASIES, IMAGINATION, MEMORY, DREAMS AND ALL THAT STUFF. BUT IF YOU GO ON PENETRATING, SOON YOU WILL COME TO SILENT SPACES, THOUGHTLESS SPACES. SOON YOU WILL COME TO SILENT SPACES, THOUGHTLESS SPACES. SOON YOU WILL START COMING TO CLOSER AND CLOSER TO THE INNER MOST CORE OF YOUR BEING WHICH IS TIMELESSNES, WHICH IS NOWHERENESS, WHICH HAS NO TIME AND NO SPACE.

                     WHEN YOU COME TO A POINT WHERE  YOU CAN'T SEE ANY TIME AND YOU CAN'T SEE ANY SPACE, YOU HAVE ARRIVED. BUT THIS ARRIVAL IS ARRIVING BACK TO YOUR OWN NATURE. YOU HAVE NOT ARRIVED TO SOMETHING NEW, YOU HAVE ARRIVED TO THAT WHICH WAS ALREADY GIVEN AND HAS BEEN ALWAYS YOURS.

                                                             ❤❤

                                           WHEN THEY ASK YOU,

                                               WHERE IS YOUR COUNTRY?

                                          WHAT IS YOU NATIVE PLACE? ANSWER,

                                             "I AM A MAN

                                         OF ORIGINAL INACTIVITY."

                                                             ❤❤

                         AND WHEN YOU HAVE ARRIVED AT THIS POINT, NOW YOU CAN UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS NO NEED TO DO ANYTHING, ALL IS HAPPENING. THAT THERE WAS NEVER ANY NEED TO DO ANYTHING. THAT ALL WAS ALREADY HAPPENING. YOU WERE UNNECESSARILY WORRIED. YOU CARRIED ALL THOSE WEIGHTS BECAUSE YOU WERE IGNORANT. OTHERWISE, THINGS WERE HAPPENING.
