THE SUMMER SEASON AT HIMALAYA'S

DREAMS WITH MONSOONS

 

                                       INTERESTING AND TRUSTED MANTRA'S  

 

                

                       ADI GANGA WAS FLOWING UNRUFFLED, IN THE PITCH DARK, HARDLY ANYTHING COULD BE SEEN. SATYAKAM WAITED UNDER A TREE ON THE BANK WHERE, FIVE DAYS BEFORE, KAPALAK HAD SOLVED HIS BAFFLED DESPAIR. HE WAS NOW MUCH AT EASE. SUDDENLY HE HEARD FOOTSTEPS. KAPALAK BROUGHT HIS LIPS NEAR SATYAKAM'S EAR AND QUIETLY WHISPERED. TONIGHT I'LL TEACH YOU HOW TO ACHIEVE FEALESSNESS FROM THE TANTRIC POINT OF VIEW, AND ALSO TO COMMUNE WITH SPIRITS. IN A LITTLE WHILE, A WOMAN'S CORPSE WILL FLOAT BY, YOU HAVE TO ENTER THE WATERS SLOWLY, CATCH HOLD OF IT, AND BRING IT TOWARD THE BANK. I'LL HELP YOU PULL IT OUT.

                 BUT HOW DO YOU KNOW IT'S COMING,? ASKED SATYAKAM IN ALARM. HIS                          HEART BEAT FASTER AND HE BECAME FILLED WITH DREAD.

                 THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO DISCUSS ALL THIS. JUST GO ON DOING AS I TELL YOU, COMMANDED KAPALAK. SATYAKAM FELT HE WAS A HELPLESS INSTRUMENT.

                THE LEAVES OF THE TREES REMAINDED MOTIONLESS. TO SATYAKAM THE WHOLE ATMOSPHERE SEEMED FRIGHTFULLY HUSHED. SUDDENLY KAPALAK ANNOUNCED, ONLY RARELY IN HIS LIFE HAD HE SUBMITTED TO FEAR. BUT THIS WAS TOO MUCH. INDEED, ALL  ALONG HE HAD BELIEVED HE WAS FEARLESS, SO WHEN KAPALAK TOLD HIM THAT HE WOULD BE TAUGHT FEARLESSNESS THAT NIGHT, HE TOOK IT TOO LIGHTLY. BUT NOW HE COULD SEE THE MERIT IN KAPALAK'S UTTERANCE. HE HAD YET TO ENCOUNTER HIS SUBTLE EGO.

                 SATYAKAM HESITATED BRIEFLY BUT COULD NOT RESIST ENTERING THE WATER ON KAPALAK'S COMMAND. THE WATER WAS NOT DEEP. HE COULD WALK THROUGH IT, HIS FEET SINKING INTO THE MUDDY BOTTOM. THE JOB NOT PLEASANT, ESPECIALLY SINCE HE WAS UNDER THE SPELL OF FEAR. NUMBLY, HE GRABBED THE FLOATING BODY AND BEGAN MOVING BACKWARD. THE STRENCH WAS SUFFOCATING. HE REACHED THE BANK QUICKLY, THEN KAPALAK BEN DOWN AND GRABBED THE LEGS OF THE CORPSE. WHILE STILL HOLDING ITS SHOULDERS, SATYAKAM CAME OUT OF THE WATER AND TOGETHER THEY PULLED THE BODY OUT.

                 BOTHE SAT DOWN QUIETLY NEAR THE BODY WHICH LAY ON THE BANK. PHYSICALLY SATYAKAM WAS NOT QUIETE EXHAUSED, BUT MENTALLY HE WAS DAZED. HE COULDN'T COMPREHEND ALL THIS. BEFORE LONG, KAPALAK BROKE THE SILENCE.

                  WE SHOULD NOW SHIFT THE BODY TO THE NEARBY GROVE AND START                              YOUR    TRAINING.

                                  

                         

                 CAUTIOUSLY, THEY GOT UP AND REMOVED THE CORSE AS KAPALAK DIRECTED. TO SATYAKAM'S SURPRISE, HE FOUND A DIM OIL LAMP BURNING IN THE DARK GROVE. NEARBY LAY OF BOWL OF GRAIN AND GLASS OF LIQUID. THE CORPSE LAY UPON FAIRLY LEVEL GROUND. THE BROWN-SKINNED BODY WAS DIFFICULT TO JUDGE IN AGE- MAYBE ABOUT THIRTY. DEATH HAD PROBABLY OCCURED EARLIER IN THE DAY. SATYAKAM STOOD HAD PROBABLY OCCURED EARLIER IN THE DAY. SATYAKAM STOOD LIKE A STONE WHILE KAPALAK ACTED AS IF THIS WAS HIS NORMAL BUSINESS, SHOWING NO FEAR, SO ASTONISHMENT, NO CLOUDS OF UNKNWOING AROUND HIM. HE HASTENED, NOW I'LL INITIATE YOU INTO THE FOLD OF KAPALAKS WITH AN APPROPRIATE MANTRA, WHICH RECALLS THE SPIRITS BACK INTO DEAD BODIES. BE AWARE THAT YOU HAVE TO GER RID OF FEAR TOGETHER. IF YOU SUCCUMB TO FEAR ANY TIME DURING THE NIGHT, YOU MAY HARM YOURSELF.

                  KAPALAK PAUSED AND THEN RESUMED, YOU HAVE TO TAKE OFF ALL YOUR CLOTHES AND SIT ON THE DEAD BODY IN A MEDIATIVE POSE. WHILE YOU'LL BE REPEATIN THE MANTRA INSIDE, AT ONE POINT, THE CORPSE WILL OPEN ITS MOUTH. HERE IS SOME GRAIN AND A GLASS OF WINE. WHEN THE MOUTH OPENS, PUT SOME OF THE GRAIN AND A LITTEL WINE INTO IT, AND THEN IT'LL CLOSE AGAIN.  AT TIMES, THE CORPSE MAY UTTER WORDS. REPLY OR QUESTION AS BEST YOU CAN, KAPALAK PAUSED AGAIN AND THEN CONTINUED. SATYAKAM, YOU'LL  ENCOUNTER SOME DREADFUL VOIES AND PERHAPS UGLY SIGHTS. BUT REMEMBER, DON'T FEAR, HOLD ON TO YOUR STRENGTH. REMIND YOURSELF AGAIN AND AGAIN THAT YOU ARE UPHELD BY THE POWER THAT DWELLS WITHIN YOU. ANY SLIP MAY CAUSE YOU SOME DAMAGE. BUT IF YOU COME OUT SUCCESSFULLY, WHICH I DON'T DOUBT, YOU'LL BE QUIETE A DIFFERENT PERSON BY EARLY MORNING.

                      BY NOW, SATYAKAM FELT HALF DEAD. KAPALAK MOVED NEAR HIM. HE WAS AN EMBODIMENT OF COURAGE, HE VIBRATION HELPED SATYAKAM SOMEWHAT. SATYAKAM COULD SEE THAT WHAT WAS HAPPENING WAS A FACT AND NOT A DREAM. A SLIGHT BOLDNESS ENTERED HIM CONTAGIOUSLY. HE BEGAN TO UNDRESS HIMSELF. THEN KAPALAK WHISPERED THE INFALLIBLE MANTRA INTO HIS LEFT EAR THREE TIMES. THE MANTRA INFUSED AN ELECTIC CURRENT THROUGHOUT HIS BODY AND HE WAS NO LONGER FEARFUL, BUT ALIVE AND PREPARED TO DO WHAT HE WAS SUPPOSED TO DO. HE CAREFULLY ASSUMED A POSTURE ON THE DEAD BODY FACING TOWARD ITS HEAD. FOLDING HIS PALMS TOGETHER NEAR HIS CHEST, HE BOWED TO KAPALAK FROM A DISTANCE AND THEN LOWERED HIS HANDS, RESTING THEM ON HIS KNEES. KAPALAK CAME FORWARD AND TOUCHED THE POINT BETWEEN HIS EYEBROWS. AS SATYAKAM CLOSED HIS EYES, KAPALAK WALKED QUIETLY AWAY INTO THE DARKNESS.

                  HARDLY ONE PHASE OF THE NIGHT WAS OVER WHEN SATYAKAM FELT A SLIGHT MOVEMENT IN THE CORPSE. OPENING HIS EYES, HE SAW ITS MOUTH MOVE AS IF ASKING FOR SOMETHING. HE PUT SOME GRAIN AND WINE INTO IT. THEN THE MOUTH CLOSED AGAIN. MEANWHILE HE KEPT REPEATING THE MANTRA. THIS PROCESS CONTINUED UNTIL THE SECOND PHASE OF THE NIGHT WAS OVER.

                  ALL OF A SUDDEN SHARP SHRIEKS AND WILD TRIED TO BE UNMOVED AND CONTINUED REPEATING THE MANTRA. BUT THE HOWLING NOISES AND THREATENING CHALLENGES GREW TOO NIGHTMARISH FOR HIM. NO LONGER COULD HE KEEP HIS EYES CLOSED. FOR THE FIRST FEW MOMOENTS WHAT HE SAW CURDLED HIS BLOOD. VARIOUS UGLY AND FIERCE-LOOKING  CREATURES WERE READY TO ATTACK AND DEVOUR HIM, THEY LOOKED HIDEOUS AND DEMONIC. BUT SOON SATYAKAM HEARD KAPALAK SAYING, YOU ARE UPHELD BY THE POWER WHICH DWELLS WITHIN YOU.

                 INSTANTLY HIS FEAR SUBSIDED. WITH RENEWED COURAGE HE CLOSED HIS EYES AND CONTINUED THE MANTRA. THE DREADFUL VOICES AND HELLISH SIGHTS PERSISTED FOR SOME TIME, BUT NO LONGER DID THEY DISTURB HIM.  GRADUALLY THEY SUBSIDED, THEN SILENCED ALTOGETHER. NOW THE THIRD PHASE OF THE NIGHT WAS OVER.

                 QUIET REIGNED ONCE AGAIN. DEEP IN HIS MANTRA, SATYAKAM FELT THE NIGHT OF THE NEW MOON, CALM AND FREE. BUT AS BEFORE, SOMETHING CAUGHT HIS ATTENTION. FROM THE CORPSE CAME A THICK WAILING SOUND, AS IF IT WERE DREAMING SHE SOUNDED AS IF SHE WERE IN PAIN. HER BODY QUIVERED SLIGHTLY. SATYAKAM MAINTAINED HIS POSTURE.

                 THE AGONIZING SOUND BECAME LOUDER AND LOUDER. HE BURST OUT QUIETE INVOLUTARILY, WHO ARE YOU?

                 VERY FAINTLY AND IN A QUAVERIN VOICE IT SPOKE, RE...L..E...A...SE...M..EE....

                  THE VOICE WAS THICK AND HEAVY. FOR A MOMENT SATYAKAM BECAME ALARMED. BUT SOON HE GATHERED HIS CONSCIOUSNESS AND ASKED AGAIN, WHO ARE YOU?

                  YO...U..R MA..A..Y..A..., SPOKE THE SAME VOICE AND THEN HER WHOLE BODY BECAME DEAD AS BEFORE.

               

             SATYAKAM WAITED FOR SOME TIME TO SEE IF ANYTHING FURTHER WOULD HAPPEN. BUT THERE WAS NO MORE MOVEMENT. EVEN THE MOUTH SEEMED STILL. HE CLOSED HIS EYES AND AGAIN CONCENTRATED ON THE MANTRA. HIS WHOLE ATTITUDE BECAME THAT OF COMPASSION TOWARD THE SPIRIT - OF THE CORPSE AS WELL AS THE OTHER DEMONIC ONES HE HAD ENCOUNDED EARLIER IN THE NIGHT. AN UTTERLY PURIFY FILLED HIS HEART, THE SUBLIMITY OF WHICH HE HAD NEVER EXPERIENCED BEFORE. HIS HEART OPENED WIDE IN GRATITUDE TO THAT INDWELLING POWER WHICH HAD UPHELD HIM THOUGHOUT.

               THE LAST PHASE OF THE NIGHT PASSED PEACEFULLY. SATYAKAM FELT RELIEVED AND LOST IN DEEP ABSORPTION.

              THE MORNING SUN'S FIRST RAYS FELL UPON THE GROUND AS SATYAKAM ENTERED KAPALAK'S HUT. THE WORLD SEEMED QUIET DIFFERENT TO HIM. HE COULDN'T BELIEVE HE WAS THE SAME PERSON WHO EXISTED YESTERDAY. HARDLY A TRACE OF THE OLD SELF REMAINED. HE FELT TRANSPOSED TO A DIMENSION WHERE HE COULD SEE ONLY WITH HIS THIRD EYE. HE HAD NO PARTICULAR QUESTIONS FOR KAPALAK WHO ALSO SEEMED TOTALLY DIFFERENT TO HIM. THE MEMORY OF HIS MASTER IN HIMALAYA AROSE SPONTANEOUSLY AND HIS UNDERSTANDING OF HIM GREW LARGER THAN EVER BEFORE. FOR A WHILE HE WAS LOST IN LOVING REMEMBRANCE OF HIM.

            YOU ACCOMPLISHED NOT ONLY A GREAT TASK NIGHT BUT ALSO A BENEVOLENT ONE, SATYAKAM.

                                                                      👀👀👀👀👀

     

                  

GET AWAY FROM POVERTY

                                              THINK AND BECOME RICH

                           

                             ARE YOU DESTINED TO BE POOR? TO PARAPHRASE SHAKESPEARE, SOME PEOPLE ARE BORN WEALTHY, SOME ACHIEVE WEALTH, AND SOME HAVE WEALTH THRUST UPON THEM. THERE ARE SOME AMONG US WHO WERE FORTUNATE TO HAVE WEALTHY PARENTS, WHO GAVE US ALL THAT MONEY COULD BUY - BUT MANY OF THESE PEOPLE HAVE LOST THEIR PARENT'S WEALTH THROUGH THEIR OWN BAD JUDGMENTS. THERE ARE OTHERS WHO HAD WEALTH THRUST UPON THEM BY WINNING A LOTTERY OR SOMEO OTHER WINDFALL. HOWEVER, MOST OF US ARE NOT SO LUCKY. IN ORDER TO BECOME WEALTHY, WE HAVE TO ACHIEVE THROUGH OUR WON INTELLIGENCE, DILIGENCE, CREATIVITY AND COMMITMENT. NONE OF US ARE DESTINED TO BE POOR. WEALTH IS ALL AROUND US AND ALL WE NEED DO TO ACHIEVE IT IS TO SEEK AND FOLLOW THE ROAD THAT WILL LEAD US THERE.

                          THESE PROPONENTS OF THE NEW THOUGHT OR NEW CIVILIZATION PREACH A NEW IDEA OF LIFE THAT BRINGS OUT NEW METHODS AND MORE PERFECTED RESULTS. THEY BASE THEIR THINGKING ON THE CONCEPT THAT THE HUMAN SOUL IS LINKED WITH THE ATOMIC MIND OF UNIVERSAL SUBSTANCE, WHICH LINKS OUR LIVES WITH THE UNIVERSAL LAW OF SUPPLY AND WE HAVE THE POWER TO CHOOSE OVER WHICH LINE IT SHALL MANIFEST FOR US. TO ACHIEVE OUR GOALS, WE MUST WORK FOR IT, AND WITH THIS WORKING SUFFER THE THORNS AND HEARTACHES OF HUMANKIND. WE CAN DO ALL THESE THINGS ONLY AS WE HAVE FOUND THE LAW AND WORKED OUT THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE LAW, WHICH GOD SEEMED TO HAVE WRITTEN IN RIDDLES IN THE PAST.

                       IN THE AGES GONE BY, WE DID NOT KNOW HOW TO SAIL THE SEAS, OR TUNNEL THE EARTH, OR CONQUER THE AIR, NOR WAS THERE A BOTANIST LIKE LUTHER BURBANK TO TEACH THE CROSSING OF NATURALS, OR A MARCONI OR TESLA, TO SHOW US WE CAN LEARN TO USE THE UNVISIBLE AIRWAVES. AS SOON AS WE KNEW MORE, WE EXPRESSED MORE, AND TODAY ALL THESE THINGS ARE MADE PLAIN. IN THE LAW OF PSYCHOLOGICAL CONSCIOUSNESS THERE HAVE ARISEN PSYCHOLOGICAL BURBANKS AND MARCONIS, WHO ARE WORKING WITH UNSEEN NATURAL LAWS, BRINGING THE RACE MIND OUT INTO NEWFOUND EXPRESSIONS OF CONSCIOUS POWER.

              WE KNOW THAT OUR CONSCIOUSNESS IS ALWAYS UNITED WITH THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF GOD, OR UNIVERSAL MIND, AND THAT ALL POSSESSION IN FORM COMES THROUGH RECOGNITION IN MIND.

               THE OLD CIVILISATION TAUGHT THAT ALL EXTERNAL CONDITIONS CAME AS THE RESULT OF EXTERNAL ACTION AND THAT POVERTY WAS THE POLAR OPPOSITE OF WEALTH AND WAS THE RESULT OF THE RICH TAKING SUPPLY AWAY FROM THE POOR, IT SAW AN INDIVIDUALS LINE OF TRANSFERENCE BLOCKED BY THE GREED OF ANOTHER. THROUGH OLD-THOUGH CENTURIES THE HUMAN RACE BELIEVED THIS INVERSION OF THE TRUTH AND CREPT ON IN RESISTENCE, STRIFE AN CONDEMNATION, NEVER KNOWING WHERE TO PUT THE BLAME. FROM THIS FALSE PREMISE OF REASONING THERE CAME ALL THE TYRANNY AND BLOODSHED OF THE PAST. BUT TODAY A VEIL OF CONSCIOUSNESS HAS LIFTED, AND THE NEW THINKERS SEE LIFE IN ITS ENTIRELY AND NOT IN THE PART.

                ALL LIFE IS A SCHOOL AND EACH LIFE IS IN ITS OWN GRADE, POVERTY IS SIMPLY THE LESSON OF ONE GRADE, RICHES THE LESSON OF ANOTHER. THERE ARE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ON THIS PLANET TODAY WHO ARE POOR BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT EVOLVED TO WHERE THEY ARE ABLE TO CONQUER SUPPLY.

               THE FIRST STEP IN THE GRADE FOR THE POVERTY STRICKEN IS TO LEARN TO CONQUER SUPPLY AND THIS CONQUER IS BROUGHT ABOUT NOT FROM WITHOUT BUT THROUGH THE SLOW PROCESS OF AWAKENING INDIVIDUAL PERCEPTION. WHICH NEITHER THE RACE NOR THE INDIVIDUAL CAN OUTSTRIP.

                                            

              AS SOON AS THEY LEARNED THIS LESSON THEY PASS INTO THE NEXT GRADE WHERE THEY LEARN HOW TO USE WEALTH, AND THEIR PLACE IS IMMEDIATELY TAKEN BY ANOTHER LEARNING THE OLD LESSON.

               THE NEW CIVILIZATION KNOWS THAT THERE ARE NOW, AND ALWAYS WILL BE SOME PEOPLE WHO ACCEPT POVERTY AS THEIR NATURAL PORTION. HOWEVER, THEY ARE NOT DOOMED TO THAT STATE BECAUSE THE TOOLS ARE THERE TO HELP THEM LIFE THEMSELVES FROM THIS STATE BY INCREASING DEVELOPMENT AND UNDERSTANDING.

               THOSE WHO KNOW LIFE UNDERSTAND THIS FIRST CAUSE OF POVERTY. WHEN WE LOOK MORE DEEPLY WE SEE THAT UNTIL THE LAST PERSON OF THIS AND SIMILAR GROUPS HAS DIED OUT, THE POVERTY STRICKEN WILL CONTINUE TO BE IN OUR MIDST, BECAUSE DEEP IN THEIR MINDS AND SOULS THEY STILL LOOK UPON THEMSELVES AS BEGGARS.

              THE SECOND CAUSE OF POVERTY IS THE FALSE EDUCATION OF THE PAST, WHICH, INSTEAD OF HASTENING THE EVOLUTION OF HUMANKIND, HAS SERVED TO KEEP IT IN BONDAGE. MANY RELIGIOUS CONTAIN AS PART OF THEIR DOGMA THAT POVERTY IS AN INEVITABLE CONDITION FOR MOST PEOPLE. THEY PREACH, THE POOR WILL ALWAYS BE WITH US, SOME SECTS EVEN CLAIM THAT FOR MANY, POVERTY, IS PREDESTINED SHOULD BE ACCEPTED AS A WAY OF LIFE .

THINK AND BECOME RICH

 

                                             THE SCIENCE OF GETTING RICH

                                    

                HOW SHALL WE AVOID THROWING OURSELVES INTO ALTRUISTIC WORK IF WE ARE SURROUNDED BY POVERTY, IGNORANCE, SUFFERING, AND EVERY APPEARANCE OF MISERY AS VERY MANY PEOPLE ARE? THOSE WHO LIVE WHERE THE WITHERED HAND OF WANT IS THRUST UPON THEM FROM EVERY SIDE APPEALINGLY FOR AID MUST FIND IT HARD TO REFRAIN FROM CONTINUOUS GIVING, HOWEVER, THERE ARE SOCIAL AND OTHER IRREGULARIES AND INJUSTICES DONE TO THE WEAK, WHICH FIRE GENEROUS SOULS WITH AN ALMOST IRRESISTIBLE DESIRE TO SET THINGS RIGHT. WE WANT TO START A CRUSADE. WE FEEL THAT THE WRONGS WILL NEVER BE RIGHTED UNTIL WE GIVE OURSELVES WHOLLY TO THE TASK. IN ALL THIS WE MUST FALL BACK UPON THE POINT OF VIEW. WE MUT REMEMBER THAT THIS IS NOT A BAD WORLD BUT A GOOD WORLD IN THE PROCESS OF BECOMING.

              BEYOND ALL DOUBT THERE WAS A TIME WHEN THERE WAS NO LIFE UPON THIS EARTH. THE TESTIMONY OF GEOLOGY TO THE FACT THAT THE GLOBE WAS ONCE A BALL OF BURNINGS GAS AND MOLTEN ROCK, CLOTHED ABOUT WITH BOILING VAPORS, IS INDISPUTABLE, THAT SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE. GEOLOGY TELLS US THAT LATER ON A CRUST FORMED, THE GLOBE COOLED AND HARDENED, THE VAPORS CONDENSED AND BECAME MIST OR FELL IN RAIN, THE COOLED SURFACE CRUMBLED INTO SOIL, MOISTURE ACCUMULATED, PONDS AND SEAS WERE GATHERED TOGETHER, AND AT LAST SOMEWHERE IN THE WATER OR ON THE LAND APPEARED SOMETHING THAT WAS ALIVE.

               IT IS REASONABLE TO SUPPOSE THAT THIS FIRST LIFE WAS IN SINGLE CELLED ORGANISM, BUT BEHIND THESE CELLS WAS THE INSISTENT URGE OF SPIRIT, THE GREAT ONE LIFE SEEKING EXPRESSION. AND SOON ORGANISMS HAVING TOO MUCH LIFE TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES WITH ONE CELL HAD TWO CELLS AND THEN MANY, AND STILL MORE LIFE WAS POURED INTO THEM. MULTIPLE - CELLS ORGANISMS WERE FORMED PLANTS, TREES, VERTEBRATES, AND MAMMALS, MANY OF THEM WITH STRAGE SHAPE BUT ALL WERE PERFECT AFTER THEIR KINDS AS EVERYTHING IS THAT GOD MAKES, NO DOUBT THERE WERE CRUDE AND ALMOST MONSTROUS FORMS OF BOTH ANIMAL AND PLANT LIFE, BUT EVERYTHING FILLED ITS PURPOSE IN ITS DAY AND IT WAS ALL VERY GOOD. THEN ANOTHER DAY CAME, THE GREAD DAY OF THE EVOLUTIONARY PROCESS- THE HUMAN BEING, THE OBJECT AIMED AT FROM THE BEGINNING, HAD APPEARED UPON THED SCENE - AN APE - LIKE BEING, LITTEL DIFFERENT FROM THE BEASTS IN APPEARANCE NUT INFINITELY DIFFERENT IN THE CAPACITY FOR GROWTH AND THOUGHT, ART AND BEAUTY, ARCHITECTURE ADN SONG, POETRY AND MUSIC, ALL THESE WERE UNREALIZED POSSIBILITIES IN THE HUMAN SOUL.

               FROM THE DAY THE FIRST HUMAN APPEARED GOD BEGAN TO PUT MORE AND MORE OF HIMSELF INTO EACH SUCCEEDING GENERATION, URGING THEM ON TO LARGER ACHIEVEMENTS AND TO BETTER CONDITION, SOCIAL, GOVERNMENT, AND DOMESTIC. THOSE LOOKING BACK INTO ANCIENT HISTORY SEE THE AWFUL CONDITIONS THAT EXISTED - BARBARITIES, IDOLATRIES, AND SUFFERINGS, READING ABOUT GOD IN CONNECTION WITH THESE THINGS, THEY MAY BE DISPOSED TO FEEL THAT HE WAS CRUEL AND UNJUST TO HUMANKIND. THEY SHOULD PAUSE TO THINK. FROM THE EARLIEST HUMAN CREATURE THE RACE HAS CONTINUED TO RISE. THIS COULD ONLY BE ACCOMPLISHED BY THE SUCCESSIVE DEVELOPMENTS OF THE VARIOUS POWERS AND POSSIBILITIES LATENT IN THE HUMAN BRAIN. NATURALLY THE CRUDER AND MORE ANIMAL-LIKE PARTS OF HUMANKIND CAME TO ITS FULL DEVELOPMENT FIRST, FOR AGES PEOPL WERE BRUTAL, THEIR GOVERMENTS WERE BRUTAL, THEIR RELIGIONS WERE BRUTAL, THEIR DOMESTIC INSTITUTIONS WERE BRUTAL, AND WHAT APPEARS TO BE AN IMMENSE AMOUNT OF SUFFERING RESULTED FROM THIS BRUTALITY. BUT GOD NEVER DELIGHTED IN SUFFERING, AND IN EVERY AGE. HE HAS GIVEN US A MESSAGE, TELLING US HOW TO AVOID IT. AND ALL THE WHILE THE URGE OF LIFE, INSISTENT, POWERFUL, COMPELLING, MADE RACE KEEP MOVING FORWARD LEADING TO A LITTLE LESS BRUTALITY IN EACH AGE AND A LITTLE MORE SPIRITUALLITY IN EACH AGE.

                    IN EVERY AGE THERE HAVE BEEN SOME INDIVIDUALS WHO WERE IN ADVANCE OF THE MASS AND WHO HEARD AND UNDERSTOOD GOD BETTER THAN THEIR PEERS. UPON THESE THE INSPIRING HAND OF SPIRIT WAS LAID AND THEY WERE COMPLELLED TO BECOME INTERPRETERS. THERE WERE THE PROPHETS AND SEERS, SOMETIMES THE PRICES AND KINGS, AND OFTENER STILL THEY WERE MARTYRS DRIVER TO THE STAKE, THE BLOCK, OR THE CROSS. IT IS TO THESE WHO HAVE HEARD GOD, SPOKEN HIS WORD, AND DEMONSTRATED HIS TRUTH IN THEIR LIVES THAT ALL PROGRESS IS REALLY DUE.

                 IN CONCLUDING THIS VISION OF EVOLUTION WE MIGHT ASK WHY IT WAS ALL DONE, WHAT IS IT FOR? THIS QUESTION SHOULD BE EASY FOR THE THOUGHTFUL MIND TO ANSWER. GOD DESIRED TO EXPRESS HIMSELF, TO LIVE IN FORM, AND NOT ONLY THAT, BUT TO LIVE IN A FORM THROUGH WHICH HE COULD EXPRESS HIMSELF ON THE HIGHEST MORAL AND SPIRITUAL PLANE. GOD WANTED TO EVOLVE A FORM IN WHICH HE COULD LIVE AS A GOD AND MANIFEST HIMSELF AS A GOD. THIS WAS THE AIM OF THE EVOLUTIONARY FORCE. THE AGES OF WARFARE, BLOODSHED, SUFFERING, INJUSTICE, AND CRUELTY WERE TEMPERED IN MANY WAYS WITH LOVE AND JUSTICE AS TIME ADVANCED. AND THIS WAS DEVELOPING THE BRAIN OF HUMANKIND TO A POINT WHERE IT SHOULD BE CAPABLE OF GIVING FULL EXPRESSION TO THE LOVE AND JUSTICE OF GOD. THE END IS NOT YET. GOD AIMS NOT AT THE PERFECTION OF A FEW CHOICE SPECIMENS FOR EXHIBITION LIKE THE LARGE BERRIES AT THE TOP OF THE BOX, BUT AT THE GLORIFICATION OF THE ESTABLISHED ON EARTH, WHEN THERE SHALL BE NO MORE PAIN, FOR THE FORMER THINGS ARE ALL PASSED AWAY, AND THERE SHALL BE NO NIGHT THERE.

AUTUMN IN HIMALAYA

                                              THE SPIRIT OF HIMALAYA

                  PEOPLE WERE ALL PRAISE FOR PURAN, WANTING TO LOVE AND FONDLE HIM, BUT AS SOON AS THEY APPROACHED HE WOULD  RUN AWAY. NEITHER PROUD NOR SHY, PURAN WAS TOO MATURE INSIDE TO NEED OUTSIDE CARE OR ATTENTION. A TRANSPARENT WISDOM SHONE IN HIS EYES. AS HE SAT CROSS-LEGGED WITH HIS MOTHER IN THE TEMPLE OR WITHHIS FATHER IN SATSANG, HIS BODY REDMAINDED AMAZINGLY MOTIONLESS. DEVOTEES OF MAHARAJ AND DEVIJI REVERED HIM AS A BORN YOGI. 

               ON THE OCCASION OF THE FESTIVAL OF SHARADA, PUJA, PEOPLE TURNED OUT IN GREAT NUMBERS. AS THE CENTRAL FIGURE, BHAIRAVI WORE A WHITE SILK SAREE WITH A WIDE BLOOD-RED BORDER. GOLDEN ORNAMENTS SPARKLED ABOUT HER NECK, ARMS AND HANDS, AND UPON HER BROAD FOREHEAD A LARGE RED POWDER MARK SANCTIFIED HER, MAKING HER FACE SHINE IN DIVINE BEAUTY. STANDING IN FRONT OF THE TEMPLE IMAGE TO PERFORM THE CEREMONY, BHAIRAVI APPEARED THAT DAY AS A MANIFESTATION OF THE INIVERSAL MOTHER. HER BACK WAS TO THE AUDIENCE. FACING HALFWAY BETWEEN THE DEITY AND THE AUDIENCE, SAT KAPALAK WHO HAD BEEN SPECIALLY INVITED TO HONOR THE OCCASION.

            AT AN APPOINTED MOMENT THE RITUAL COMMENTED WITH BHAIRAVI  SLOWLY PERFORMING WORSHIP IN A SYSTEMATIC AND RHYTHMIC WAY. THE DRUMBEATS AND RINGING TEMPLE BELLS JOINED WITH BHAIRAVI'S RHYTHMIC MOVEMENTS, ENHANCING A HYPNOTIC SPELL THROUGHOUT. OCCASIONALLY THE SOUND OF THE CONCH SHELL WAS HEARD, AWAKENING THE SLEEPING SOULS. IN THE CHANGED ATMOSPHERE, ELEPHANT WITH DIVINE MOTHER'S VIBRATIONS, THE PEOPLE WERE ABSORBED IN THE AWESOME SCENE.

              GRADUALLY, BHAIRAVI'S BODY BEGAN WAVING SLIGHTLY, KEEPING TIME WITH THE RHYTHM OF THE WORSHIP WAS CLIMAXING IN A CRESCENDO OF ECSTASY, THE OIL LAMPS AND INCENSE FELL FROM HER HANDS AND SHE BECAME OBLIVIOUS TO EVERYTHING AROUND HER. THE LADIES, SECTION OF THE AUDIENCE SIMULTANEOUSLY BEGAN MAKING A SPECIAL INVOCATION AS THE FORCE OF DIVINE MOTHER DESCENDED INTO BHAIRAVI. THE MEN'S SIDE WAS REPEATING MA.... MA..... WITH JOYFUL TEARS IN THEIR EYES.

               BEFORE SHE COULD FALL, TWO LADIES CAUGHT HOLD OF HER AND GENTLY LAID HER DIVINE BODY ON THE FLOOR. HER BODY SEEMED LIFELESS, A SOFT BUNDLE OF FLESH AND BONES WITH EYES PARTIALLY CLOSED AND GAZE DRAWN INWARD. AN INDESCRIBABLE LUSTER SHONE ON HER FACE.

             NO TRACE OF RESTLESSNESS STIRRED THE PEOPLE. OCCASIONALLY SOME OF THEM AROSE TO BEHOLD HER, BUT OTHERWISE ALL WERE SERENE AND OBLIVIOUS TO THE WORLD OUTSIDE. THE BELLS, DRUMS AND CONCH SHELL CONTINUED THEIR RHYTHMIC SPELL IN TIME WITH THE LADIES, INVACATION.

           ALL DURING THIS, PURAN SAT SPELLBOUND, LOOKING QUIETLY AT HIS MOTHER. BUT NOW HE COULD NO LONGER HOLD HIMSELF. HE BEGAN TO CRY LOUNDLY. HIS FATHER, WHO HAD REMAINDED SOAKED IN THE DIVINE ATMOSPHERE, LIFTED PURAN INTO HIS LAP AND PRESSED HIM AGAINST HIS BOSOM. PURAN SOON GREW QUIET. KAPALAK TOO SEEMED IN HIGH ECSTASY.

           SOME TIME LATER, THE EYES OF BHAIRAVI SLOWLY BEGAN TO OPEN AND HER BODY SHOWED SIGNS OF LIFE. HER EYES MOVED, BUT THEY STILL DID NOT SEEM FOCUSED ON THIS WORLD. TORRENTS OF TEARS BEGAN FLOWING FROM HER UNUSUALLY LARGE AND REDDENED EYES. WHAT IMMENSE LOVE AND PURITY FILLED THEM!

            TAKING UP THE RITUAL MATERIAL, SOME LADIES BEGAN WAVING LIGHTS AND INCENSE IN FRONT OF BHAIRAVI. JUBILANCE ONCE AGAIN BOWING DOWN TO HER FROM WHATEVER THEY WERE SITTING. BHAIRAVI'S VERY APEARANCE WOULD MELT AWAY EVIL PROPENSITIES. THE HANDS OF THE DEVOTEES REMAINDED FOLDED IN ADORATION FOR A LONG TIME.

           WHEN PURAN REACHED HIS FOURTH YEAR, SATYAKAM BEGAN EDUCATING HIM. ON THE FIRST DAY BEFORE THE LESSONS COMMENDED, SAYYAKAM HELD A SMALL CEREMONY IN WORSHIP OF SARASWATI, THE GODDESS OF LEARNING, PURAN LOOKED LIKE A SMALL ANGEL, DRESSED IN A SIMPLE WHITE CLOTH, WITH A SACRED THREAD ROUND HIS BARE TORSO. HIS HEAD WAS SHAVEN COMPLETELY EXCEPT FOR A HAIR TAIL ON THE BACK OF HIS HEAD. A SMALL MARK OF SANDALWOOD PASTE WAS ON HIS FOREHEAD AND HIS FEET WERE BARE. HIS FACE, NAY, HIS WHOLE BODY SHONE IN PURITY AND GLORY. AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE CEREMONY, WHEN HE BOWED DOWN BEFORE THE GODDESS, ONE COULD NOT HELP BUT HE SOBERED HIS DEVOTION.

                      SATYAKAM STARTED TEACHING HIM THE SANSKRIT ALPHABET,  SENTENCES AND SMALL RHYMES. HUNGRY FOR EDUCATION, PURAN WENT ON GULPING DOWN THE LESSONS QUICKLY. FOR ONE FULL YEAR, WITH UNABATED ENTHUSIASM, HE CONTINUED DIGESTING EVERYTHING HIS FATHER IMPARTED TO HIM. OCCASIONALLY HE HAD HIS FUN TOO, PLAYING AND RUNNING WITH OTHER BOYS IN THE VICNITY. UNDOUBTEDLY, HE STOOD OUT FAR BEYOND HIS COMPANIONS. PEOPLE WATCHED HIM WITH GREEDY EYES, FEASTING ON THE EXTRAORDINARY AURA AROUND HIM. UNLIKE OTHER CHILDREN, HE WAS NOT FOND OF TOYS, EXCEPT FOR A FLUTE THAT HE TRIED TO PLAY UPON.

THE INSPIRING THOUGHTS OF SWAMI VIVEKANANDA

                                           

                                                  INSPIRING THOUGHTS

                 THE MAJORITY OF US CANNOT SEE BEYONG A FEW YEARS, JUST AS SOME ANIMALS CANNOT SEE BEYONG A FEW STEPS. JUST A LITTLE NARROW CIRCLE - THAT IS OUR WORLD. WE HAVE NOT THE PATIENCE TO LOOK BEYOND, AND THUS BECOME IMMORAL AND WICKED. THIS IS OUR WEAKNESS, OUR POWERLESSNESS.

                  TO LOVE ANYONE PERSONALLY IS BONDAGE. LOVE ALL ALIKE, THEN ALL DESIRES FALL OFF.

                  WHATEVER MAY BE THE POSITION OF PHILOSOPHY, WHATEVER MAY BE THE POSITION OF METAPHYSICS, SO LONG AS THERE IS SUCH A THING AS DEATH IN THE WORLD, SO LONG AS THERE IS SUCH A THING AS WEAKNESS IN THE HUMAN HEART, SO LONG AS THERE IS A CRY GOING OUT OF THE HEART OF MAN IN HIS VERY WEAKNESS, THERE SHALL BE A FAITH IN GOD.

              IF WE WERE REALLY UNATTACHED, WE SHOULD ESCAPE ALL THIS PAIN OF VAIN EXCEPTION, AND COULD CHEERFULLY DO GOOD WORK IN THE WORLD, NEVER WILL UNHAPPINESS OR MISERY COME THOUGH WORK DONE WITHOUT ATTACHMENT. THE WORLD WILL GO ON WITH ITS HAPPINESS AND MISERY THROUGH ETERNITY.

            THERE HE REALIZED THE ONENESS OF THE UNIVERSE AND MAN, THAT MAN IS A UNIVERSE IN MINIATURE.

            THINKING ABOUT SENSE - OBHJECTS WILL ATTACH YOU TO SENSE - OBJECTS, GROW ATTACHED, AND YOU BECOME ADDICTED, THWART YOUR ADDICTION, IT TURNS TO ANGER, BE ANGRY, AND YOU CONFUSE YOUR MIND, CONFUSE YOUR MIND, YOU FORGET THE LESSON OF EXPERIENCE, YOU LOSE DISCRIMINATION, LOSE DISCRIMINATION, AND YOU MISS LIFE'S ONLY PURPOSE

            IF ONE RELIGION TRUE, THEN ALL THE OTHERS ALSO MUST BE TRUE. THUS THE HINDU FAITH IS YOURS AS MUCH AS MINE.

                                                  

                    VIVEKANANDA ONCE REMARKED, IN TRYING TO PRACTICE RELIGION, EIGHTY PERCENT OF PEOPLE TURN CHEATS AND ABOUT FIFTEEN PERCENT GO MAD, ONLY THE REMAINING FIVE PERCENT ATTAIN THE IMMEDIATE PERCENT ATTAIN THE IMMEDIATE KNOWLEDGE OF THE INFINITE TRUTH.

                   IT IS OUR PRIVILEGE TO BE ALLOWED TO BE CHARITABLE, FOR ONLY SO CAN WE GROW. THE POOR MAN SUFFERS THAT WE MAY BE HELPED, LET THE GIVER KNEEL DOWN AND GIVE THANKS, LET THE RECIEVE STAND UP AND PERMIT.

               TO DEVOTE YOUR LIFE TO THE GOOD OF ALL AND TO THE HAPPINESS OF ALL IS RELIGION WHATEVER YOU DO FOR YOUR OWN SAKE IS NOT RELIGION.

             IT IS A TREMENDOUS ERROR TO FEEL HELPLESS. DO NOT SEEK FROM ANYONE. WE ARE OUR OWN HELP. IF WE CANNOT HELP OURSELVES, THERE IS NONE TO HELP US... THOU THYSELF ONLY ENEMY. THERE IS NO OTHER ENEMY BUT THIS SELF TO MINE, NO OTHER FRIEND BUT MYSELF.

              AFTER A TIMED MAN FINDS THAT IT IS NOT HAPPINESS, BUT KNOWLEDGE. TOWARDS, WHICH HE IS GOING, AND THAT BOTH PLEASURE AND PAIN ARE GREAT TEACHERS, AND THAT HE LEARNS AS MUCH FROM EVIL AS FROM GOOD.

                 

                     A THOUSAND YEARS A CITY, AND A  THOUSAND YEARS A FOREST.

                       THE COMMON SAYING HAS IT, WE THINK THAT MAN "LIVES TO EAT" NOT "EATS TO LIVE" WE ARE CONTINUALLY MAKING THIS MISTAKE, WE ARE REGARDING NATURE AS OURSELVES, WE ARE REGARDING NATURE AS OURSELVES AND ARE BECOMING ATTACHED TO IT, AND AS SOON AS THIS ATTACHMENT COMES, THERE IS THE DEEP IMPRESSION ON THE SOUL, WHICH BINDS US DOWN AND MAKES US WORK NOT FROM FREEDOM BUT LIKE SLAVES.

                   TRUTH REQUIRES NO PROP TO MAKE IT STAND.

                   IMPURITY IS A MERE SUPERIMPOSITION UNDER WHICH YOUR REAL NATURE HAS BECOME HIDDEN. BUT THE REAL YOU IS ALREADY PERFECT, ALREADY STRONG.

                   INEQUALITY IS THE VERY BASIS OF CREATION. AT THE SAME TIME THE FORCES STRUGGLING TO OBTAIN EQUALITY ARE AS MUCH A NECESSITY OF CREATION AS THOSE WHICH DESTROY IT.

                    IT IS THE SUBJECTIVE WORL THAT RULES THE OBJECTIVE. CHANGE THE SUBJECT, AND THE OBJECT IS BOUND TO CHANGE, PURIFY YOURSELF, AND THE WORLD IS BOUND TO BE PURIFIED.

                   OUR FIRST DUTY IS NOT TO HATE OURSELVES, BECAUSE TO ADVANCE WE MUST HAVE FAITH IN OURSELVES FIRST AND THEN IN GOD. THOSE WHO HAVE NO FAITH IN THEMSELVES CAN NEVER HAVE FAITH IN GOD.

                   WHEN WE HAVE SUCCEEDED IN PREVENTING ALL THE FORCES IN THE WORLD FROM THROWING US OFF OUR BALANCE, THEM ALONE WE HAVE ATTAINED TO FREEDOM, AND NOT BEFORE.

               WHERE THERE IS FIRE, OR IN WATER OR ON GROUND WHICH IS STREW WITH DRY LEAVES, WHERE THERE ARE MANY ANT-HILLS, WHERE THERE ARE WILD ANIMALS, OR DANGER, WHERE FOUR STREETS MEET, WHERE THERE IS TOO MUCH NOISE, YOGA MUST NOT BE PRACTICED.

                      YOU NEED NOT WORRY OR MAKE YOURSELF SLEEPLESS ABOUT THE WORLD, IT WILL GO ON WITHOUT YOU.

                    TO SUCCEED, YOU MUST HAVE TREMENDOUS PERSEVERANCE, TREMENDOUS WILL. I WILL DRINK THE OCEAN, SAYS THE PERSEVERING SOUL, AT MY WILL MOUNTAINS WILL CRUMBLE UP. HAVE THAT SORT OF ENERGY, THE SORT OF WILL, WORK HARD, AND YOU WILL REACH THE GOAL.

                   THAT RELIGION IS PERFECTED IN US ONLY WHEN IT HAS LED US TO, HIM WHO IS THE ONLE LIFE IN A UNIVERSE OF DEATH, HIM WHO IS THE CONSTANT BASIS OF AN EVER-CHANGING WORLD, THAT ONE WHO IS THE ONLY SOUL, OF WHICH ALL SOULS ARE BUT DELUSIVE MANIFESTATIONS.

                   RELIGIONS IS NOT MATTER OF BOOKS AND BELIEFS, BUT OF SPIRITUAL REALISATION.

THE MIND AND THE BODY

                                     TWO LAYERS OF MIND AND BODY

                THE STATES OF THE MIND ARE ALWAYS KNOWN BECAUSE THE LORD OF THE MIND IS UNCHANGEABLE.

               THE WHOLE GIST OF THIS THEORY IS THAT THE UNIVERSE IS BOTH MENTAL AND MATERIAL. AND BOTH THE MENTAL AND MATERIAL WORLDS ARE IN A CONTINUOUS STATE OF FLUX. WHAT IS THIS BOOK?

             IT IS A COMBINATION OF MOLECULES IN CONSTANT CHANGE. ONE LOT IS GOING OUT, AND ANOTHER COMING IN, IT IS A WHIRLPOOL, BUT WHAT MAKES THE UNITY? WHAT MAKES IT THE SAME BOOK? THE CHANGES ARE RHYTHMICAL, IN HARMONIOUS ORDER THEY ARE SENDING IMPRESSIONS TO MY MIND, AND THESE PIECED TOGETHER MAKE A CONTINIOUS PICTURE.

            SWAMI VIVEKANANDA DOES NOT COMMENT ON THE 16TH SUTRA IN MOST VERSIONS OF PATANJALI YOGA SUTRA. THIS SUTRA IS:

            AN OBJECT EXISTS INDEPENDENT OF ITS COGNIZANCE BY ANY ONE CONSCIOUSNESS. WHAT HAPPENS TO IT WHEN THAT CONSCIOUSNESS IS NOT THERE TO PERCIEVE IT?

           MIND ITSELF IS CONTINUOUSLY CHANGING. THE MIND AND BODY ARE LIKE TWO LAYERS IN THE SAME SUBSTANCE, MOVING AT DIFFERENT RATES OF SPEED. RELATIVELY, ONE BEING SLOWER AND THE OTHER QUICKER, WE CAN DISTINGUISH BETWEEN THE TWO MOTIONS. FOR INSTANCE, A TRAIN IS MOVING, AND ANOTHER CARRIAGE IS MOVING SLOWLY ALONGSIDE, IT.IT IS POSSIBLE TO FIND THE MOTION OF BOTH THESE, TO A CERTAIN EXTENT. BUT STILL SOMETHING ELSE IS NECESSARY. MOTION CAN ONLY BE PERCEIVED WHEN THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE WHICH IS NOT MOVING. BUT WHEN TWO OR THREE THINGS ARE RELATIVELY MOVING, WE FIRST PERCIEVE THE MOTION OF THE FASTER ONE, AND THEN THAT OF THE SLOWER ONES. HOW IS THE MIND TO PERCIEVE ? IT IS ALSO IN A FLUX. THEREFORE, ANOTHER THING IS NECESSARY WHICH THE MOTION IS STILL SLOWER, AND SO ON, AND YOU WILLL FIND TO END. THEREFORE, LOGIC COMPELS YOU TO STOP SOMEWHERE. YOU MUST COMPLETE THE SERIES BY KNOWING SOMETHING WHICH NEVER CHANGES. BEHIND THIS NEVER ENDING CHAIN OF MOTION IS THE PURUSA, THE CHANGELESS, THE COLOURLESS, THE PURE. ALL THESE IMPRESSIONS ARE MERELY REFLECTED UPON IT, AS RAYS OF LIGHT FROM A CAMERA ARE REFLECTED UPON A WHITE SHEET, PAINTING HUNDREDS OF PICTURES IT, WITHOUT IN ANY WAY TARNISHING THE SHEET.

                  MIND IS NOT SELF-LUMINOUS, BEING AN OBJECT. TREMENDOUS POWER IS MANIFESTED EVERYWHERE IN NATURE, BUT YET SOMETHING TELLS US THAT IS IS NOT SELF-LUMINOUS NOT ESSENTIALLY INTELLIGENT. THE PURUSA ALONE IS SELF-LUMINOUS, AND GIVES ITS LIGHT TO EVERYTHING. IT IS ITS POWER THAT IS PERCOLATING THROUGH ALL MATTER AND FORCE.

                 FROM THE MIND WERE SELF- LUMINOUS IT WOULD BE ABOE TO COGNISE EVERYTHING AT THE SAME TIME, WHICH IT CANNOT. IF YOU PAY DEEP ATTENTION ONE THING, YOU LOSE ANOTHER, IF THE MIND WERE SELF-LUMINOUS, THERE WOULD BE NO LIMIT TO THE IMPRESSIONS, IT  COULD RECEIVE. THE PURUSA CAN ORGANISE ALL IN ONE MOMENT, THEREFORE, THE PURUSA IS SELF- LUMINOUS, ADN THE MIND IS NOT.

           ANOTHER COGNISING MIND BEING ASSUMED THERE WILL BE NO END TO SUCH ASSUMPTIONS AND CONFUSION OF MEMORY.

            LET US SUPPOSE THAT THERE IS ANOTHER MIND WHICH COGNISTS THE FIRST, THERE WILL HAVD TO BE SOMETHING WHICH COGNISES THAT, AND SO THERE WILL BE NO END TO IT. IT WILL RESULT IN CONFUSION OF MEMORY, THERE WILL BE NO STROREHOUSE OF MEMORY.

            THE ESSENCE OF KNOWLEDGE BEING UN-CHANGEBLE, WHEN THE MIND TAKES ITS FORM, IT BECOMES CONSCIOUS.

           PATANJALI SAYS THIS TO MAKE IT MORE CLEAR THAT KNOWLEDGE IS NOT A QUALITY OF THE PURUSA. WHEN THE MIND COMES NEAR THE PURUSA IT IS REFLECTED, AS IT WERE, UPON THE MIND, AND THED MIND, FOR THE TIME BEING, BECOMES KNOWING AND SEEMS AS IF IT WERE ITSELF THE PURUSA.

           COLOURED BY THE SEER AND THE SEEN THE MIND IS ABLE TO UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING. ON THE ONE SIDE THE EXTERNAL WORLD, THE SEEN, IS BEING REFLECTED, AND ON THE OTHER, THE SEER IS BEING REFLECTED, THERE COMES THE POWER OF ALL KNOWLEDGE TO THE MIND.

            THE MIND THROUGH ITS INNUMERABLE DESIRES ACTS FOR ANOTHER (THE PURUSA) BEING COMBINATIONS.

            THE MIND IS A COMPOUND OF VARIOUS THINGS, AND THEREFORE, IT CANNOT WORK FOR ITSELF. EVERYTHING THAT IS A COMBINATION IN THIS WORLD HAS SOME OBJECT FOR THAT COMBINATION, SOME THIRD THING FOR WHICH THIS COMBINATION IS GOING ON, SO THIS, COMBINATION OF THE MIND IS FOR THE PURUSA.

       

              FOR THE DISCRIMINATION THE PERCEPTION OF THE MIND AS ATMAN CEASES.

               THROUGH DISCRIMINATION THE YOGI KNOWS THAT THE PURUSA IS NOT MIND.

               THEN BENT ON DISCRIMINATING THE MIND ATTAINS THE PREVIOUS STATE OF KAIVALYA (ISOLATION).

                THUS BENT ON DISCRIMINATING THE MIND ATTAINS THE PREVIOUS STATE OF KAIVALYA (ISOLATION).

                 THUS THE PRACTICE OF YOGA LEADS TO DISCRIMINATING POWER, TO CLEARNESS OF VISION. THE VEIL DROPS FROM THE EYES, AND WE SEE THINGS ARE THEY ARE. WE FIND THAT THIS NATURE IS A  COMPOUND, AND IS SHOWING THE PANORAMA FOR THE PURUSA, WHO IS THE WITNESS THAT THIS NATURE IS NOT THE LORD, THAT THE WHOLE OF THESE COMBINATIONS OF NATURE ARE SIMPLY FOR THE SAKE OF SHOWING THESE PHENOMENA TO THE PURUSA, THE ENTHRONED KING WITHIN, WHEN DISCRIMINATION COMES BE LONG PRACTICE FEAR CEASES, AND THE MIND ATTAINS ISOLATION.
