“Here Patanjali is describing more detailed way.”

Here Patanjali is describing more detailed way. On each topic he’s describing what is right knowledge? Separately. What is wrong knowledge? What is imagination? What is sleep? What is memory? He’s describing in a very deep way because people ask, “Yes Swamiji, we know all these five can lead to suffering or joy. How to use them? To lead to joy.” How to use them?

Here Patanjali is giving you description about each and every item. And how to use them towards joy. Towards raising your energy. Please understand. All these five. Right knowledge. Wrong knowledge. Memory. Imagination. Sleep. Can be, all these five can be used to increase your energy and reduce your energy. Either they can bring you miracle powers, extraordinary energies, or they can make you more and more dull, dead, depressed, sober.

Imagination can straight away be used. Now scientists are saying, “If you constantly tell your kids, you are dull! You are dull! You are dull!”, they will become dull. If you are constantly praising them, “You are bright! You are bright! You are bright!” They will become bright.

One beautiful incident in Rama Krishna’s life, when his young disciple Vivekananda used to come to him. Rama Krishna would constantly repeat, “You are incarnation of Shiva and Vishnu. You are incarnation of Narayana. You are incarnation of God.” Disciples used to ask him, the other disciples, what is this? He’s a young boy. Who is going to a college. They are saying he is incarnation of God. How can it be?

Rama Krishna says, “Don’t bother about that.” Just by my word he will become. He will achieve that state. He will start living that state. Whoever you strongly believe, whatever they say will mold your personality. Will mold your personality. That is why I always tell people, catch the right Guru. He will constantly remind you, you are the ultimate, you are God, you are living in the eternal energy. He will constantly remind you about your original state.

There are two states in you. One is your original state. The divine state. Another one is the cloud which covers you. If you catch the right Guru, he will constantly tell you, you are divine. Because he is in the divine state. If you catch the wrong Guru. He will constantly tell you, you are covered by cloud. Because he is covered by cloud. He is in the state of cloudy state.

So catch the right person. Catching the right Guru almost does 80% of your job. I can say, I think 90%. No not even 90, 100 %. If you catch the right Guru and he also catches you, work is done. That’s all. Now nothing else is needed. You need only one thing only, hammock and lie down.

Sing in your hammock, you are on your way to enlightenment. Sing your way to enlightenment. If you catch the right Guru and he also catches you. Work is done. Because he’s constantly kindle your right imagination. He will constantly make you understand the right truth. Understand. Working on imagination and all you don’t need separate time.

The right Guru, he teaches ,you are already enlightened. Nothing else needs to be done. The moment this thought is strongly put inside a person. He starts behaving like that. He starts living like that. He starts experiencing that courage. He starts experiencing that confidence. Even one or two huddles which comes he handles them with that confidence. With that courage. With that brightness. With that knowledge. With that energy. With that enthusiasm. And he lives enlightened.

I am not interested in teaching you. First wrong concept, that you are a beggar. Then second wrong concept, you have to beg only then can you become millionaire. No. Already, you are millionaire. Not only millionaire, billionaire, trillionaire and what not. All you need is remember it. Reclaim it. Live. Remembering. Reclaiming. Living. Is all you need. So you are complete.

That is why with our sangha, with our group the more and more you are connected, the more and more you feel connected and more and more you come close. Less and less sadhana. Less and less practices because I’m using your very imagination. Your 24 hours becomes a spiritual practice. You don’t need seperate practice.
