“Let us enter into Patanjali’s next sutras.”

Let us enter into Patanjali’s next sutras. Todays sutra, the 2nd chapter and 2nd sutra in Saadhana paada – Samadhi bhavanartha klesha tanukaranarthascha. The exact translation. I always said, so m

Kriya yoga leads to Samadhi and attenuates

Thus we may cultivate the

Swami dwivedi – they are practiced

Aim is to attenuate and destroy

My own translation – I need to do this along with the 1st sutra. 1st sutra says – mortification, study and surrendering of fruits of yoga to god is kriya yoga.

2nd sutra says –

The purpose of this tapas svaadyaaya iswara pranidanaani is emphasized, insisted and explained in this sloka. This kriya yoga makes your body in tune with Samadhi, prepares your whole being to be in tune with Samadhi and takes u beyond all suffering.

Lets understand all parts of the sutra. Svaadhyaya means getting all the right technical info to be in Samadhi – Samadhi means being one with the source of the cosmos (adi – source, sama adi – being one with the source). The whole purpose of human existence is to remain in that Samadhi. The greatness of human body is for whatever prupose you might have created, whatever maybe the bio memories with which you created this body, this body has the ability to reflect the superconsc. Atleast in one place. For eg., your hands may have bio memory of violence, ears may have mem of music, eyes have that of lust. Each part may be having diff bio memories, but atleast one part of you can reflect the super consc. Without any hindrance. That is the beauty of the human body. It is the only body which is capable of radiating the super consc. Inspite of having any type of bio memory. That is the unimaginable blessing given to human beings by cosmos. When bible says, god made human beings in his own image, this is what he means. Whatevery bio memory your body is made up of, it has the possibility of reflecting the super consc. Tapas means residing in super consc. Continuously and facing life. Svaadhyaaya means…

All our problems are not becos of society. But becos of our own bio memory which yealds to the society. Beautiful verse by … my house is an obstacle, my wife is obstacle…NO. they are not obstacle. Your yielding to them is obstacle. Too many ppl have played with your bio memory.

Ppl come and tell me I surrender..when I give a job they disappear! That is becos, when they surrender their life, it is not in their control. Unfortunately still parts of their bio memory listen to diff ppl. Either thru guilt, sympathy, emotional blackmail thru many ways ppl can play with u.

Thru this scandal, I could see diff ways how ppl are caught in diff engrams and struggling. Some are caught with society, some really sincere, but still stopped by society. The 2nd group – their bio memory is not under their control. If you are not sincere and u tell me just to make me happy – if you yourself have some problem and not sincere and telling abt society its ok. But if you are honestly feeling you want to be at swamijis feet and you really feel society is stopping you, u are in a very dangerous situation.do not allow others rule your bio memory. This is what I call being possessed by society like being possessed by a ghost. This is even more dangerous, becos you will suffer in this – being possessed by society is much worser than being possessed by a ghost. In the latter case, darshan of master is enuf, the ghost will disappear. But if you are possessed by society, I will have to work in hours. Society can just create any doubt in you, destabilize u. you will be boiling running for days, hours and years. Like how real estate is owned by diff ppl, we can clearly identify, this much square inch of your bio memory is being controlled by mother in law, son, etc,. without even bothered about your priorities….they can act. Whenever super consc. Is reflected in ur inner space, it constantly gets updated and expands. But they take care that this expansion does not happen, they take care that they bring u to the same mood in vested interest of they wanting the relationship intact. Sometimes, relationships are retained for losing weight (JOKE)

They wanted their life to be cosy and stable. You may be a part of their life for so many reasons. So they need to activate their power over your bio memory to retain this and ensure that you do not expand over a certain limit.

Many times, after attending these classes, you may have become soft. Even then they don’t like u coming here. Even if you are nice to them, loving caring, suddenly u become more sacred. Suddenly, u invoke a respect in their being. And the attitude they need to maintain with u is shifting. Somehow they get to know you cannot be taken for granted any more. They feel they are losing you. First thing is they will activate that bio memory in u. if you have heard my Mahabharata story – war description.

1st 10 days – war between u and parental/societal conditioning – bheshma

10 to 13 – war between u and ppl who taught u social /spiritual based social structure – conditioning of your teachers – Drona. (teachers in school, college, university, life, given u edu, taught you to live, even gurus who may help in u leading stress free life, pranayam – they are all dronas) when you are not able to handle their conditioning…

13 to 16 days - Then comes karna – the idea of dharma – it is right or wrong – ppl come and tell me, I want to be enlightened but I want to work and do charity. I tell you enlightenment is ultimate priority. It is the ultimate charity. All your words will elevate ppl, all your thinking will liberate ppl, your very presence is enuf. Millions of charity will happen just by ur inspiration.

16-18 – War with ego. It is actually hiding inside the water like duryodhana. Ego as it is is hiding deep inside ur consc. Then you need guru Krishna who guides bheema telling him where exactly to hit – hit in the thigh. Like the ananda gandha intiation.

Till karna, arjuna killed – means for all conditioning ur mind is needed – intelligence is represented by arjuna.

Then for ultimate killing ego – bheema – heavy body – prepared with Hata yoga for enlightenment.

I have seen ppl, many so called Vedanta sanyasis, great ppl – they have killed all the conditionings, unfortunately their body is not prepared with hata yoga. Ego is still there though not active – like duryodhana who is there though inactive

Aghoras are more enlightened than vedantis.

Vedanta – pure intelligence is part of the training system – here physical tapas is missing.

Aghora – heavy hata yoga is also part of the training system

That is why I insist on heavy yoga. Intense yoga. Your body must always have that sweet pain. If you do asanas more than your capacity, some part of your body will remind you of the pain. That sweet pain should b e part of your life – heavy yoga. Anybody who is really sincere about the 18th day war, prepare bheema inside.

Unfortunately with Vedanta, guru is sitting and talking, sishyas are sitting and listening. Then you will be ready only for 16 day war. But for 18 day war, hata yoga is compulsory. You must prepare your body.

In this scandal I saw clearly – many ppl died with 10th day war – parental conditioning. Others died with their gurus and dronas in their life. If you are stuck there, then you are soldiers of drone who are dead by 13th day.

Then comes karna – is it right, is it moral, is it not wrong – it is better to do some charitable activity than wasting time here – these guys are karnas soldiers dead by 16th day war.

Only one who can cross all this, can find out duryodhana, destroy him and become enlightened.

Tapah means standing up with strength to fall in tune with enlightenment. With knowledge of enlightenment. Ultimately of course, iswara pranidanaani means establishing yourself with the concept of surrendering to god. With the truth of surrendering to god. You need right understanding about this trught. I am not saying you need to know god for surrender. You just need to know the strength and power of surrender.

There are 2 traditions – theology based and experiential based.
