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.

                           INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL 

                       PURIFICATION OF YOGA 👀

 

                                       

                💫❤💫

               INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL PURIFICATION, CONTENTMENT, MORTIFICATION, STUDY, AND WORSHIP OF GOD, ARE THE NIYAMAS.

                  EXTERNAL PURIFICATION IS KEEPING THE BODY PUR, A DIRTY MAN WILL NEVER BECOME A YOGI. THERE MUST BE INTERNAL PURIFICATION ALSO. THAT IS OBTAINED BY THE FIRST-NAMED VIRTUES. OF COURSE INTERNAL PURITY IS OF GREATER VALUE THAT EXTERNAL, BUT BOTH ARE NECESSARY, AND EXTERNAL PURITY, WITHOUT INTERNAL, IS OF NO GOOD.

                       TO OBSTRUCT THOUGHTS WHICH ARE INIMICAL TO YOGA CONTRARY THOUGHTS WILL BE BROUGHT.

                     THIS IS THE WAY TO PRACTICE ALL THESE VIRTUES THAT HAVE BEEN STATED, BY HOLDING THOUGHTS OF AN OPPOSITE CHARACTER IN THE MIND. WHEN THE IDEA OF STEALING COMES, NON-STEALING SHOULD BE THOUGHT OF . WHEN THE IDEA OF RECEIVING COMES, REPLACE IT BY A CONTRARY THOUGHT.

                    💫❤💫

                       THE OBSTRUCTIONS TO YOGA ARE KILLING ETC., WHETHER COMMITTED, CAUSED,  OR APPROVED, EITHER THROUGH AVARICE, OR ANGER, OR IGNORANCE, WHETHER SLIGHT, MIDDLING, OR GREAT, AND RESULT IS INNUMERABLE IGNORANCE AND MISERIES. THIS IS (THE METHOD OF ) THINKING THE CONTRARY.

                      IF I TELL I LIE, OR CAUSE ANOTHER TO TELL A LIE, OR APPROVE OF ANOTHER DOING DO, IT IS EQUALLY SINFUL. IF IT IS A VERY MILD LIE, IT IS STILL A LIE. EVERY VICIOUS THOUGHT WILL REBOUND, EVERY THOUGHT OF HATRED WHICH YOU HAVE THOUGHT, IN A CAVE EVEN, IT STORED UP, AND WILL ONE DAY COME BACK TO YOU WITH TREMEDOUS POWER IN THE FORM OF SOME MISERY HERE. IF YOU PROJECT ALL SORTS OF HATRED AND JEALOUSY, THEY WILL REBOUND ON YOU WITH COMPOUND INTEREST. NO POWER CAN AVERT THEM, WHEN ONCE YOU HAVE PUT THEM IN MOTION YOU WILL HAVE TO BEAR THEM. REMEMBERING THIS, WILL PREVENT YOU FROM DOING WICKED THINGS.

                  💫❤💫

                       NON-KILLING BEING ESTABLISHED, IN HE PRESENCE ALL EMNITIES CEASE (IN OTHERS).

                        IF A MAN GETS A IDEA OF NON-INJURING OTHERS, BEFORE HIM EVEN ANIMALS WHICH ARE BY THEIR NATURE FEROCIOUS WILL BECOME PEACEFUL. THE TIGER AND THE LAMB WILL PLAY TOGETHER BEFORE THAT YOGI AND WILL NOT HURT EACH OTHER. WHEN YOU HAVE COME TO THAT STATE, THEN ALONE YOU WILL UNDERSTAND THAT YOU HAVE BECOME FIRMLY ESTABLISHED IN NON-INJURING.

                     BY THE ESTABLISHMENT OF TRUTHFULNESS THE YOGI GETS THE POWER OF ATTAINING FOR HIMSELF AND OTHERS HE FRUITS OF WORK WITHOUT THE WORKS.

                   WHEN THIS POWER OF TRUTH WILL BE ESTABLISHED WITH YOU, THEN EVEN IN DREAM YOU WILL NEVER TELL AN UNTRUTH, IN THOUGHT, WORD OR DEED, WHATEVER YOU SAY WILL BE TRUTH. YOU MAY SAY TO A MAN "BE BLESSED" AND THAT MAN WILL BE BLESSED. IF A MAN IS DISEASED, AND YOU SAY TO HIM, "BE THOU CURED", HE WILL BE CURED IMMEDIATELY.

                  💫❤💫

                      BY THE ESTABLISHMET OF NON-STEALING ALL WEALTH COMES TO THE YOGI.

                      THE MORE YOU FLY FROM NATURE THE MORE SHE FOLLOWS YOU,  AND IF YOU DO NOT CARE FOR HER AT ALL SHE BECOMES YOUR SLAVE.

                     BY THE ESTABLISHMENT OF CONTINENCE ENERGY IS GAINED.

                    THE CHASTE BRAIN HAS TREMENDOUS ENERGY, GIGANTIC WILL POWER, WITHOUT THAT THERE CAN BE NO MENTAL STRENGTH. ALL MEN OF GIGANTIC BRAINS ARE VERY CONTINENT. IT GIVES WONDERFUL CONTROL OVER MANKIND. LEADERS OF MEN HAVE BEEN VERY CONTINENT, AND THIS IS WHAT GAVE THEM POWER. THEREFORE THE YOGI MUST BE CONTINENT.

                            WHEN HE S FIXED IN NON-RECEIVING HE GETS THE MEMORY OF PAST LIFE.

                             WHEN THE YOGI DOES NOT RECEIVE PRESENTS FROM OTHERS HE DOES NOT BECOME BEHOLDEN TO OTHERS, BUT BECOMES INDEPENDENT AND FREE, AND HIS MIND BECOMES PURE, BECAUSE WITH EVERY GIFT HE RECEIVES ALL THE EVILS OF THE GIVER. AND THEY COME AND LAY COATING AFTER COATING ON HIS MIND.

                      💫❤💫

                       UNTIL IT IS HIDDEN UNDER ALL SORTS OF COVERINGS OF EVIL. IF HE DOES NOT RECEIVE THE MIND BECOMES PURE, AND THE FIRST THING IT GETS IS MEMORY OF PAST LIFE. THEN ALONE THE YOGI BECOMES PERFECTLY FIXED IN HIS IDEAL, BECAUSE HE SEES THAT HE HAS BEEN COMING AND GOING SO MANY TIMES, AND HE BECOMES DETERMINED THAT THIS TIME HE WILL BE FREE, THAT HE WILL NO MORE COME AND GO, AND BE THE SLAVE OF NATURE.

                  HOW TO INCREASE OUR BRAIN POWER 

                                   (SELF-LUMINOUS)

                           💫❤💫

                          MIND IS NOT SELF-LUMINOUS, BEING AN OBJECT.

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

                         FROM ITS BEING UNABLE TO COGNISE TWO THINGS AT THE SAME TIME.

                   IF THE MIND WERE SELF-LUMINOUS IT WOULD BE ABLE TO COGNISE EVERYTHING AT THE SAME TIME, WHICH IT CANNOT. IF YOU PAY DEEP ATTENTION TO ONE THING YOU LOSE ANOTHER. IF THE MIND WERE SELF-LUMINOUS IT COULD RECEIVE. THE PURUSHA CAN COGNISE ALL IN ONE MOMENT, THEREFORE THE PURUSHA IS SELF-LUMINOUS,  AND THE MIND IS NOT.

                     💫❤💫

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

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

                  💫❤💫

                   THE ESSENCE OF KNOWLEDGE (THE PURUSHA)  BEING UN CHANGEABLE, 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 PURUSHA. WHEN THE MIND COMES NEAR THE PURUSHA IT IS REFLECTED, AS IT WERE, UPON THE MIND, AND THE MIND, FOR THE TIME BEING, BECOMES KNOWING AND SEEMS AS IF IT WERE ITSELF THE PURUSHA.

                       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, THUS COMES THE POWER OF ALL KNOWLEDGE TO THE MIND.

                    💫❤💫

                       THE MIND THROUGH ITS UNNUMERABLE 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 PURUSHA.

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

                       THROUGH DISCRIMINATION THE YOGI KNOWS THAT THE PURUSA IS NO MIND.

                      💫❤💫

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

                     THUS THE PRACTICE OF YOGA LEADS OF DISCRIMINATING POWER, TO CLEARNESS OF VISION. THE VEIL DROPS FROM THE EYES, AND WE SEE THINGS AS 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 DESCRIMINATION COMES BY LONG PRACTICE FEAR CEASES, AND THE MIND ATTAINS ISOLATION.

                     THE THOUGHTS THAT ARISE AS OBSTRUCTIONS TO THAT ARE FROM IMPRESSIONS.

                         💫❤💫

                         ALL THE VARIOUS IDEAS THAT ARISE MAKING US BELIEVE THAT WE REQUIRE SOMETHING EXTERNAL TO MAKE US HAPPY ARE OBSTRUCTIONS TO THAT PERFECTION. THE PURUSA IS HAPPINESS AND BLESSEDNESS BY ITS OWN NATURE. BUT THAT KNOWLEDGE IS COVERED OVER BY PAST IMPRESSIONS. THESE IMPRESSIONS HAVE TO WORK THEMSELVES OUT.

                    THEIR DESTRUCTION IS IN THE SAME MANER AS OF IGNORANCE, ETC,. AS SAID BEFORE.

WHAT IS DESIRE ?

 

                                            THE DESIRE 

                                                                            👀💫👀

                 

                            ❤❤

                           THERE IS CONNECTIVENESS IN DESIRE, EVEN THOUGH SEPARATED BY SPEICES, SPACE AND TIME, THERE BEING IDENTIFICATION OF MEMORY AND IMPRESSIONS.

                        EXPERIENCES BECOMING FINE BECOME IMPRESSIONS. IMPRESSIONS REVIVIFIED BECOME MEMORY. THE WORD MEMORY HERE INCLUDES UNCONSIOUS CO-ORDINATION OF PAST EXPERIENCE, REDUCED  TO IMPRESSIONS, WITH PRESENT CONSCIOUS ACTION. IN EACH BODY THE GROUP OF IMPRESSIONS ACQUIRED IN A SIMILAR BODY ONLY WILL BECOME THE CAUSE OF ACTION IN THAT BODY. THE EXPERIENCES OF DISSIMILAR BODIES WILL HE HELD IN ABEYANCE. EACH BODY WILL ACT AS IF IT WERE A DECENDANT OF A SERIES OF BODIES OF THAT SPECIES ONLY, THUS, CONSECUTIVENESS OF DESIRES WILL NOT BE BROKEN.

                      THIRST FOR HAPPINESS BEING ETERNAL, DESIRES ARE WITHOUT BEGINNING.

                         ❤❤ 

                    ALL EXPERIENCE IS PRECEDED BY DESIRE FOR BECOMING HAPPY. THERE WAS NO BEGINNING OF EXPERIENCE, AS EACH FRESH EXPERIENCE S BUILT UPON THE TENDENCY GENERATED BY PAST EXPERIENCE, THEREFORE DESIRE IS WITHOUT BEGINNING.

                        BEING HELP TOGETHER BY CAUSE, EFFECT, SUPPORT, AND OBJECTS, IN THE ABSENCE OF THESE IS ITS ABSENCE.

                    THESE DESIRES ARE HELD TOGETHER BY CAUSE AND EFFECT, IF A DESIRE HAS BEEN RAISED IT DOES NOT DIE WITHOUT PRODUCING ITS EFFECT. IF A DESIRE HAS BEEN RAISED IT DOES NOT DIE WITHOUT PRODUCING ITS EFFECT. THEN AGAIN, THE MIND-STUFF IS THE GREAT STOREHOUSE, THE SUPPORT OF ALL PAST DESIRES, REDUCED TO SAMSKARA FORM, UNTIL THEY HAVE WORKED THEMSELVES OUT THEY WILL NOT DIE. MOREOVER, SO LONG AS THE SENSE RECEIVE THE EXTERNAL OBJECTS FRESH DESIRES WILL ARISE. IF IT BE POSSIBLE TO GET RID OF THESE, THEN ALONE DESIRES WILL VANISH.

                            ❤❤

                     THE PAST AND FUTURE EXIST IN THEIR OWN NATURE, QUALITIES HAVING DIFFENT WAYS.

                      THEY ARE MANIFESTED OR FINE, BEING OF THE NATURE OF GUNAS.

                        THE GUNAS ARE THREE SUBSTANCES, SATTVA, RAJAS, AND TAMAS, WHOSE GROSS STATE IS THE SENSIBLE UNIVERSE. PAST AND FUTURE ARISE FROM THE DIFFERENT MODES OF MANIFESTATION OF THESE GUNAS.

                          ❤❤

                       THE UNITY IN THINGS IS FROM THE UNITY IN CHANGES. THOUGH THERE ARE THREE SUBSTANCES THEIR CHANGES BEING CO-ORDINATED ALL OBJECTS HAVE THEIR UNITY.

             THE OBJECT BEING THE SAME, PERCEPTION AND DESIRE VARY ACCORDING TO THE VARIOUS MINDS.

                THINGS ARE KNOWN OR UNKNOWN TO THE MIND, BEING DE-PENDENT ON THE COLOURING WHICH THEY GIVE TO THE MIND.

                         ❤❤

                         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 CONTINOUS 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 CONTINOUS PICTURE, ALTHOUGH THEY PARTS ARE CONTINOUSLY. THE MIND AND BODY ARE LIKE TWO LAYERS IN THE SAME SUBSTANCE, MOVING AT DIFFERENT RATES OF SPEED. RELATIVELY, MOVING AT DIFFERENT RATES OF SPEED . RELATIVELY, ONE BEING SLOWER AND THE OTHER QUIKER, WE CAN DISTINGUISH BETWEEN THE TWO MOTIONS.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A GOOD DEED AND A BAD DEEDS!

 

                      

                       A GOOD DEED AND A RESULT

                                                                      💫💫💫

                                                                     ❤❤❤

                  THE CHANGE INTO ANOTHER SPECIES IS BY THE FILLING IN OF NATURE.

 

                     👀👇

                              PATANJALI HAS ADVANCED THE PROPOSITION THAT THESE POWERS COME BY FIRST, SOMETIMES BY CHEMICAL MEANS, OF THEY MAY BE GOT BY MORTIFICATION AND HE HAS ADMITTED THAT THIS BODY CAN BE KEPT FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME. NOW HE GOES ON TO STATE WHICH IS THE CAUSE OF THE CHANGE OF THE BODY INTO ANOTHER SPECIES, WHICH HE SAYS IS BY THE FILLING IN OF NATURE. IN THE NEXT APHORISM HE WILL EXPLAIN THIS.

                       GOOD DEEDS, ETC., ARE NOT THE DIRECT CAUSES IN THE TRANSFORMATION OF NATURE, BUT THEY ACT AS BREAKERS OF OBSTANCLES TO THE COURSE OF WATER, WHICH THEN RUNS DOWN BY ITS OWN NATURE.

                      👀👇

                       WHEN A FARMER IS IRRIGATING HIS FIELD THE WATER IS ALREADY IN THE CANALS, ONLY THERE ARE GATES WHICH KEEP THE WATER IN . THE FARMER OPENS THESE GATES, AND THE WATER FLOWS IN BY ITSELF, BY THE LAW OF GRAVITATION. SO, ALL HUMAN PROGRESS AND POWER ARE ALREADY IN EVERYTHING, THIS PERFECTION IS EVERY MAN'S NATURE, ONLY IT IS BARRED IN AND PREVENTED FROM TAKING ITS PROPER COURSE. IF ANYONE CAN TAKE THE BAR OFF IN RUSHES NATURE. THEN THE MAN ATTAINS THE POWER WHICH ARE HIS ALREADY. THOSE WE CALLED WICKED BECOME SAINTS, AS SOON AS THE BAR IS BROKEN AND NATURE RUSHES IN. IT IS NAATURE THAT IS DRIVING US TOWARDS PERFECTION, AND EVENTUALLY SHE WILL BRING EVERYONE THERE. ALL THESE PRACTICES AND STRUGGLES TO BECOME RELIGIOUS ARE ONLY NEGATIVE WORK TO TAKE OFF THE BARS, AND OPEN THE DOORS TO THAT PERFECTION WHICH IS OUR BIRTHRIGHT,OUR NATURE.

                      FROM EGOISM ALONE PROCEED THE CREATED MINDS.

                       👀👇

                       THE THEORY OF KARMA IS THAT WE SUFFER FOR OUR GOOD OR BAD DEEDS, AND THE WHOLE SCOPE OF PHILOSOPHY IS TO APPROACH THE GLORY OF MAN. ALL THE SCRIPTURES SING THE GLORY OF MAN, OF THE SOUL, AND THEN, WITH THE SAME BREATH, THEY PREACH THIS KARMA. A GOOD DEED BRINGS SUCH A RESULT, AND BAD DEED SUCH A RESULT, BUT, IF THE SOUL CAN BE ACTED UPON BY A GOOD OR A BAD DEED IT AMOUNTS TO NOTHING. BAD DEEDS PUT A BART TO THE MANIFESTATION OF OUR NATURE, OF THE PURUSHA, AND GOOD DEEDS TAKE THE OBSTACLES OFF, AND ITS GLORY BECOMES MANIFEST. BUT THE PURUSHA ITSELF IS NEVER CHANGED. WHATEVER YOU DO NEVER DESTROYES YOUR OWN GLORY, YOUR OWN NATURE, BECAUSE THE SOULS CANNOT BE ACTED UPON BY ANYTHING, ONLY A VEIL IS SPREAD BEFORE IT, HIDING ITS PERFECTION.

                    THOUGH THE ACTIVITIES OF THE DIFFERENT CREATED MIND ARE VARIOUS, THE ONE ORIGINAL  MIND IS THE CONTROLLER OF THEM ALL.

                             👀👇

                        THESE DIFFERENT MINDS, WHICH WILL ACT IN THESE DIFFERENT BODIES, ARE CALLED MADE-MINDS, AND THE BODIES MADE-BODES, THAT IS, MANUFACTURED BODIES AND MINDS. MATTER AND MIND ARE LIKE TWO INEXHAUSTIBLE STOREHOUSES. WHEN YOU HAVE BECOME A YOGI YOU HAVE LEARNED THE SECRET OF THEIR CONTROL. IT WAS YOURS ALL THE TIME, BUT YOU HAD FORGOTTEN IT.

                             WHEN YOU BECOME A YOGI YOU RECOLLECT IT. THEN YOU CAN DO ANYTHING WITH IT, MANIPULATE IT ANY WAY YOU LIKE. THE MATERIAL OUT OF WHICH THAT MANUFACTURED MIND IS CREATED IS THE   VERY SAME MATERIAL WHICH IS USED AS THE MACROCOSM. IT IS NOT THAT MIND IS ONE THING AND MATTER ANOTHER, BUT THEY ARE DIFFERENT EXISTENCE OF THE SAME THING. ASMITA, EGOISM, IS THE MATERIAL, THE FINE STATE OF EXISTENCE OUT OF WHICH THESE MADE-MINDS AND MADE-BODIES OF THE YOGI WILL BE MANUFACTURED. THEREFORE, WHEN THE YOGI WILL BE MANUFACTURED. THEREFORE, WHEN THE YOGI HAS FOUND THE SECRET OF THESE ENERGIES OF NATURE HE CAN MANUFACTURE ANY NUMBER OF BODIES, OR MINDS, BUT THEY WILL BE MANUFACTURES OUT OF THE SUBSTANCE KNOWN AS EGOISM.

                       👀👇

                           AMONG THE VARIOUS CHITTAS THAT WHICH IS ATTAINED BY SAMADHI IS DESIRELESS.

                          AMONG ALL THE VARIOUS MINDS THAT WE SEE IN VARIOUS MEN, ONLY THAT MIND WHICH HAS ATTAINED TO SAMADHI, PERFECT CONCENTRATION, IS TEH HIGHEST. A MAN WHO HAS ATTAINED CERTAIN POWERS THROUGH MEDICINES, OR THROUGH WORDS, OR THROUGH MORTIFICATIONS, STILL HAS DESIRES, BUT THAT MAN WHO HAS ATTAINED TO SAMADHI THROUGH CONCENTRATION IS ALONE FREE FROM ALL DESIRES.

SATTVA AND PURUSHA (YOGA)

 

                                           SAMYAMA (THE YOGA)

                                                            ❤❤❤

                  

                       💫💫

                      BY MAKING SAMYAMA ON A PARTICLE OF TIME AND ITS MULTIPLEW COMES DISCRIMINATION.

                       HOW ARE WE TO AVOID ALL THESE THINGS, THESE DEVAS, AND HEAVENS, AND POWERS? BY DISCRIMINATION, BY KNOWING GOOD FROM EVIL. THEREFORE A SAMYAMA IS GIVEN BY WHICH THE POWER OF DISCRIMINATION CAN BEST STRENGTHENED. THIS IS BY MAKING SAMYAMA ON A PARTICLE OF TIME.

                       💫💫

                 THOSE WHICH CANNOT BE DIFFERENTIATED BY SPECIES, SIGN AND PLACE, EVEN THEY WILL BE DISCRIMINATED BY THE ABOVE SAMYAMA.

                   THE MISERY THAT WE SUFFER COMES FROM IGNORANCE, FROM NON-DISCRIMINATION BETWEEN THE REAL AND THE UNREAL. WE ALL TAKE THE BAD FOR THE GOOD, THE DREAM FOR THE REALITY. SOUL IS THE ONLY REALITY, AND WE HAVE FORGOTTEN IT. BODY IS AN UNREAL DREAM, AND WE THINK WE ARE ALL BODIES. THIS NON-DISCRIMINATION IS THE CAUSE OF MISERY, AND IT IS CAUSED BY IGNORANCE. WHEN DISCRIMINATION COMES IT BRINGS STRENGTH, AND THEN ALONE CAN WE AVOID ALL THESE VARIOUS IDEAS OF BODY, HEAVENS, AND GODS AND DEVAS. THIS IGNORANCE ARISES THROUGH DIFFERENTIATING BY SPECIES, SIGN OR PLACE. FOR INSTANCE, TAKE A COW. THE COW IS DIFFERENTIATED FROM THE DOG, AS SPECIES.

                   💫💫

                        EVEN WITH THE COWS ALONE HOW DO WE MAKE THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN ONE COW AND ANOTHER? BY SINGS. IF TWO OBJECTS ONE COW AND ANOTHER? BY SIGNS. IF TWO OBJECTS ARE EXACTLY SIMILAR THEY CAN BE DISTINGUISHED IF THEY ARE IN DIFFERENT PLACES. WHEN OBJECTS ARE SO MIXED UP THAT EVEN THESE DIFFERENTIATE WILL NOT HELP US, THE POWER OF DISCRIMINATION ACQUIRED BY THE ABOVE-MENTIONED PRACTICE WILL GIVE US THE ABILITY TO DISTINGUISH THEM.

                   💫💫

                   THE HIGHEST PHILOSOPHY OF THE YOGIS IS BASED UPON THIS FACT, THAT PURUSA IS PURE AND PERFECT, AND IS THE ONLY "SIMPLE" THAT EXISTS IN THIS UNIVERSE. THE BODY AND MIND ARE COMPOUNDS, AND YET WE ARE EVER IDENTIFYING THAT THE DISTINCTION HAS BEEN ATTAINED, MAN SEES THAT EVERYTHING IN THIS WORLD, MENTAL AND PHYSICAL, IS A COMPOUND, AND AS SUCH, CANNOT BE THE PURUSHA.

                         THE SAVING KNOWLEDGE IS THAT KNOWLEDGE OF DISCRIMINATION WHICH COVERS ALL OBJECTS, ALL MEANS.

                       SAVING, BECAUSE THE KNOWLEDGE TAKES THE YOGI ACROSS THE OCEAN OF BIRTH AND DEATH. THE WHOLE OF PRAKRITI IN ALL ITS STATES, SUBTLE AND GROSS, IS WITHIN THE GRASP OF THIS KNOWLEDGE. THERE IS NO SUCCESSION IN PERFECTION BY THIS KNOWLEDGE. IT TAKES IN ALL THINGS SIMULTANEOUSLY, AT A GLANCE.

                  💫💫

                       BY THE SIMILARLY OF PURITY BETWEEN AND SATTVA AND THE PURUSHA COMES KAIVALYA.

                      WHEN THE SIMILARITY OF PURITY BETWEEN THE SATTVA AND THE PURUSHA COMES KAIVALYA.

                       WHEN THE SOUL REALISES THAT IS DEPENDS ON NOTHING IN THE UNIVERSE, FROM GOD TO THE LOWEST ATOM, THAT IT IS CALLED KAIVALYA (ISOLATION) AND PERFECTION. IT IS ATTAINED WHEN THIS MIXTURE OF PURITY AND IMPURITY CALLED MIND HAS BEEN MADE AS PURE AS THE PURUSHA ITSELF, THEN THE SATTVA, THE MIND, REFLECTS ONLY THE UNQUALIFIED OF PURITY, WHICH IS THE PURUSHA.

THE YOGA (EGO)

 

                        THE PERCEPTION OF EGO

                                                         ❤❤

                

                         💫❤💫

                      EGOISM IS THE IDENFICATION OF THE SEER WITH THE INSTRUMENT OF SEEING.

                           THE SEER IS REALLY THE SELF, THE PURE ONE, THE EVER HOLY, THE INFINITE, THE IMMORTAL. THAT IS THE SELF OF MAN. AND WHAT ARE THE INSTRUMENTS? THE CHITTA, OR MIND-STUFF, THE BUDDHI, DETERMINATIVE FACULTY, THE MANAS, OR MIND, AND THE INDRIYANI, OR SENSE ORGANS. THESE ARE THE INSTRUMENTS FOR HIM TO SEE THE EXTERNAL WORLD, AND THE IDENTIFICATION OF THE SELF WITH THE INSTRUMENTS IS WHAT IS CALLED THE IGNORANCE OF EGOISM. WE SAY "I AM THE MIND, I AM THOUGHT, I AM  ANGRY, OR I AM HAPPY". HOW CAN WE BE ANGRY, AND HOW CAN WE HATE? WE SHOULD IDENTIFY OURSELVES WITH THE SELF, THAT CANNOT CHANGE. IF IT IS UNCHANGEABLE, HOW CAN IT BE ONE MOMENT HAPPY, AND ONE MOMENT UNHAPPY? IT IS FORMLESS, INFINITE, OMNIPRESENT.

                  💫❤💫

                      WHAT CAN CHANGE IT? BEYOND ALL LAW. WHAT AN AFFECT IT? NOTHING IN THE UNIVERSE CAN PRODUCE AN EFFECT ON IT, YET, THROUGH IGNORANCE, WE IDENTIFY OURSELVES WITH THE MIND-STUFF, AND THINK WE FEEL PLEASURE OR PAIN.

                       SUKHANUSHAYI RAAGAH

                      ATTACHMENT IS THAT WHICH DWELLS ON PLEASURE.

                     💫❤💫

                         WE FIND PLEASURE IN CERTAIN THINGS, AND THE MIND. LIKE A CURRENT, FLOWS TOWARDS THEM, AND THAT, FOLLOWING THE PLEASURE CENTRE, AS IT WERE, IS ATTACHMENT. WE ARE NEVER ATTACHED TO ANYONE IN WHOM WE DO NOT FIND PLEASURE. WE FIND PLEASURE IN VERY QUEER THINGS SOMETIMES, BUT THE DEFINITION IS JUST THE SAME, WHEREVER WE FIND PLEASURE, THERE WE ARE ATTACHED.

                AVERSION IS THAT WHICH DWELLS ON PAIN.

                             THAT , WHICH GIVES US PAIN WE IMMEDIATELY SEEK TO GET AWAY FROM.

                     FOLLOWING THROUGH ITS OWN NATURE, AND ESTABLISHED EVEN IN THE LEARNED, IS THE CLINGING TO LIFE.

                      THIS CLINGING TO LIFE YOU SEE MANIFESTED  IN EVERY ANIMAL, AND UPON IT MANY ATTEMPTS HAVE BEEN MADE TO BUILD THE THEORY OF A FUTURE LIFE, BECAUSE MEN LIKE THEIR LIVES SO MUCH THAT THEY DESIRE A FUTURE LIFE ALSO.

                         WHAT IS THIS CLINGING TO LIFE?

                  WE HAVE SEEN THAT IT HAS BECOME INSTINCTIVE. IN THE PSYCHOLOGICAL LANGUAGE OF YOGA IF HAS BECOME SAMSKARAS. THE SAMSKARAS, FIND AND HIDDEN, ARE SLEEPING IN THE CHITTA. ALL THESE PAST EXPERIENCES OF DEATH, ALL THAT WHICH WE CALL INSTINCT, IS EXPERIENCE BECOME SUB-CONSCIOUS. IT  LIVES IN THE CHTTA, AND IS NOT INACTIVE, BUT IS WORKING UNDERNEATH. THESE CHITTA VRTTIS, THESE MIND-WAVES, WHICH ARE GROSS, WE CAN APPRECIATE AND FEEL, THEY CAN BE MORE EASILY CONTROLLED, BUT WHAT ABOUT THESE FINER INSTINCTS? HOW CAN THEY BE CONTROLLED? WHEN I AM ANGRY MY WHOLE MIND HAS BECOME A HUGE WAVE OF ANGER. FEEL IT, SEE IT, HANDLE IT, CAN EASILY MANIPULATE IT, CAN FIGHT WITH IT, BUT I SHALL NOT SUCCEED PERFECTLY IN THE FIGHT UNTIL I CAN GET DOWN BELOW. A MAN SAYS SOMETHING VERY HARSH TO ME, AND I BEGIN TO FEEL THAT I AM GETTING HEATED, AND HE GOES ON UNTIL I AM PERFECTLY ANGRY, AND FORGET MYSELF, IDENTIFY MYSELF WITH ANGER.

                      WHEN HE FIRST BEGAN TO ABUSE ME I STILL THOUGHT " I AM GOING TO BE ANGRY". ANGER WAS ONE THING AND I WAS ANOTHER, BUT WHEN I BECAME ANGRY, I WAS ANGER. THESE FEELINGS HAVE TO BE CONTROLLED IN THE GERM, THE ROOT, IN THEIR FINE FORMS, BEFORE EVEN WE HAVE BECOME CONSCIOUS THAT THEY ARE ACTING ON US.

                    WITH THE VAST MAJORITY OF MANKING THE FINE STATES OF THESE PASSIONS ARE NOT EVEN KNOWN, THE STATE WHEN THEY ARE SLOWLY COMING FROM BENEATH CONSCIOUSNESS. WHEN A BUBBLE IS RISING FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE LAKE WE DO NOT SEE IT, OR EVEN WHEN IT IS NEARLY COME TO THE SURFACE, IT IS ONLY WHEN IT BURSTS AND MAKES A RIPPLE THAT WE KNOW IT IS THERE. WE SHALL ONLY BE SUCCESSFUL IN GRAPPLING WITH THE WAVES WHEN WE CAN GET HOLD OF THEM IN THIER FINE CASUES, AND UNTIL YOU CAN GET HOLD OF THEM, AND SUBDUE THEM BEFORE ANY BECOME GROSS, THERE IS NO HOPE OF CONQUERING ANY PASSION PERFECTLY. TO CONTROL OUR PASSIONS WE HAVE TO CONTROL THEM AT THEIR VERY ROOTS, THEN ALONE SHALL WE BE ABLE TO BURN OUT THEIR VERY SEED. AS FRIED SEEDS THROWN INTO THE GROUND WILL NEVER COME UP, SO THESE PASSIONS WILL NEVER ARISE.
