“subject is The secrets of pain and pleasure.”

subject is The secrets of pain and pleasure. Patanjali is the 1st master who has worked on the secrets of pains & pleasures. Pain is not pain as you understand now. If you understand in a right way. Pleasure is not a pleasure as you understand now. If you understand in a right way. Something is happening in you for no reason. Something is getting responded in you without you responding. That is the most funny thing. Without you directly involving or responding. Something is getting responded. So that some response suddenly gets labeled as pain or pleasure. Why it gets labled as repeat even that you don’t know. You know only one thing that pain is there or pl is there.

It is like a poor guy got into a poor motel. Whatever is put into his mouth he has to swallow and come out. I really tell you from my experience, without you choosing pain & pleasure being cause to you is prison. Nothing else is a prison. Ppl again & again asked me swamiji you are an incarnation you shud have walked out of the prison. I never felt it.

Real prison is Pain or pl happening to you without you chossing, you voting, without you being asked. The menu card was never showed to you. It is like food is just pushed inside. And you don’t know why it is happening, who is doing. Just in your throat you feel the taste. That’s all!

Secrets of pain & pleasure. Patanjali is the first master who made human beings the master of their own life. Things which happen in their life. We will enter into the today’s sutras.

Last session we were studying 12th sutra of 2nd chapter. I want to go thru once more – Klesha moola karna asaya drushta drushta janma vedaneeyaha.

The womb of karmas, actions and reactions has its roots in these obstacles. Karma …in the seen or unseen births.

Vivekananda:

Prabhavananda:

The womb of karmas – karmashaya needs to be understood. That is the key word for this sutra. I can say for next few sutras this is the term which you need to understand. Womb of karmas – place where the actions and reactions happen continuously in you even if you don’t interfere. You can say where you experience life in you. It is a very deep level truth. You experience actions in one level, reactions in another one level, but the root cause of both – actions & reactions is what we call karmashaya. Pl understand, all your actions & reactions the source from which they erupt, the source from which they happen is called karmashaya. I can say you exp the same karmashaya during the deep sleep state. What we call the causal body karana sareera. Karmashaya is exp in causal layer. It is almost like a godown. The dersire engrams stored in , guilt engrams in , pain engrams in sukhshma sareera . all the engrams broken, poisonous, cant be worked out in this birth. Too much of joy, or suffering. For eg. A poor beggar winning 100 crorer in lottery is too much of suffering becos he cant handle that money. Then that money will be death for him. Naturally, ppl who want to own that money wont respect his life. They will take away his life and money. So it is too much suffering for him. So that kind of karmas, which may bring too much suffering or joy, all of them will be in the godown. It is like all karmas which u accumulated in all janmnas, everything will be in that godown. It is very imp to und the quality of your godown. You need not know everything in that godown. It may not be possible or required. You can go thru past life regression, know the details. Sometimes it may be dangerous. The same husband may be wife for you now. Usually it does not happen. 99.9999% couple just escape and go to different corners of the world. They take care they don’t meet each other. But sometime unfortunately, rarely these guys meet. You may not need to know the details of karmashaya. But the flavor of karmashaya, the smell of your godown. You may not need to know how many cans of coke are there, how many piles of stinking rotten clothes are lying, furnitures are there – you don’t need to know that. But u need to know the smell of your godown. Becos many of your lifes incidents will have the flavor of that godown. I have seen many fellows have such an amazing thing happening but the bad smell of the godown is with them.

…

Just carrying it and suffering. They don’t even know why. Sometime you can see early morning, such an ambience, cool breeze, anandeshwara, swamiji in Samadhi, best place to be in. but some nuisance engrams which you remembered will sit on your head heavily and will nto let you enjoy. Even you hate yourself what is going on in me the whole crowd is in bliss, but why am I in drepression. Just becos of one thing you do not know the odour of your godown. Knowling the odour of the godown. Actually if you know the odour of your godown you will just discount it. You will just know this is the godown smell. That’s all. When it is too dirty, u will know this is the godown smell.

That is why when you enter your home you may have a dirty smell. But when you know the reason you are ok with ti. Same way, awareness of the smell of your godown takes away & removes many sufferings.

Here pantan is introducing an imp term. This reaction & action to the karmashaya, the godown happens in many seen or unseen births. Many translators are translating unseen as future birth. It is future also, but I will say even now you are living an unseen life without your knowledge. Just go around and ask 10 ppl around u abt opinion abt you. You will nto believe it. Ask them to type and give u without name. tell them ppl who are living everyday or see you once an hr, friends, foes or anyone. Just tell them to write or type. Even name not reqd. collect those 10 opinions and see you will not be able to believe any of them. But that is the life you are living

Even now you are living an unseen life. In that unseen life, many of the karmas, unseen and seen are expressing from the karmashaya. One more thing, it is almost like a sleeping Pandora box, zoo. Like you enter into a dark room, 2000 posonour cobras ar e sleeping, 100 lions and dinosaurs are sleeping and you are supposed to walk in and out of that room. That is what the karmashayais. You don’t know which snake, lion, dinsor will wake up and roar at what moment. But all fellows are sitting inside.

Karmashaya is very powerful and most dangerous part of you whose flavor , odor constantly oozes out in you r seen and unseen life. Unseen life does not mean just the future birth. It is that and also in Ithislife all moments spent in unwareness. That is why I am insisting again & again. Even now, any moment you spend without having awareness of body & mind, is unseen life. All incidents …

Gets together and leads to phy ment disease. …

It takes lot of time to accumulate suffering. The unseen lifeis responsible for accumulating suffering. When I see ppl getting caught in some engrams, I know it has not happened just like that. No. slowly slowly only it got acquired. So infusing awareness even now into your talking, walking, sitting. Sitting is diff from I know that I am sitting. When you are just sitting it is matter. When you know you are sitting your are consc. Chit or Jata means whether you are consc or matter will be decided with these 2 statements. R u sitting or do you know you are sitting. If you are sitting you r matter. If you know you are sitting you are consc.

I am looking at exactly which naadi gets activated when you are aware that you are aware. The naadi next to korma naadi gets activated. I am trying to tie a meter. The meter will record and you can see how much time is spent in awareness and how much in unawareness. You can clearly see the seen life and unseen life. If you have spent 8 hrs in seen life in awareness, it is chit. If you have spent 8 hrs in unawareness, that is when you are in Jata. That is wahat patan calls unseen life.

It is simple. If you are sitting, you are matter – dead. If you know you are sitting you are chit – consc. This moment you can be alive, next moment die. All aware moments are life and unaware moments are death. Every moment you are alive your whole mechanism functions in diff way. Not just mind which is resp for cognition, even your body which is resp for your sensory experiences acts & reacts in a completely diff way the moment you are aware you are sitting or whatever is happening in you. Awareness straightaway without any gap transforms the cognition process and sensory perceptions. Cognition proce is ur reaction to all that happens to your body. Sensory perceptions is what happens to your b ody.

The problem which patanj speaks is too big and solution too simple. But our logic is such it always says, prob is too big how can it be solved in such small way. So the 12th sutra talks something very imp. The root womb or actions of reactions where all your karmas, all your unclassified engrams the engrams which cannot be classified, the engrams out of which your dream state is made, your dreams are made out of which you paint this world. Actually if there is less karmashaya, you will directly catch master. Karmashayais repsfo ryou nto surrendering to master. Unfortunately karmashaya is such it operates in your inner state when you are unaware. Awareness is like a stay order for karmashaya. So if you stay moer time in awareness the unoperated karmashaya will reduce. Means you will know it is from godown. The moment you know it is from godown it will not have any power on you. Solution for karmashaya is to be aware from morn to night. Your first moment in bed to last moment in bed be aware.

Lets enter into next sutra. 13th sutra, 2nd chapter.

Sati mooley, tat pipaka, jaat ayubodaha

Vsatchit – with the existence of the root there will be fruits also namely births of diff species of life, their life span and experiences

Vivek: the root being there, the fruition comes in the form of species, longevity, exp of ple and pain

Prabh: …and the experiences of pleasure and pain.

As long as little bit of smell or the objects which causes the smell is left in your godown there will be smell either intensely or mildly. There will be disturbance in the form of birth, longevity and so many other things. Und, thru this sutra, patna emphasizes the imp of burning of all the engraved memories , samskaras. He insists the burning of all samskaras.

Loan, fire, enemity and samskaras shud not be left even little bit. If youleave loan little bit, interest, interest, interest to interest it will be standing as a demon in front of you. In TN new systems like auto meter. The meter interest will run. Same way fire, will grow & stand. Enemity will grow and stand. Same way, samskaras – engraved memories, if you think oh little, it will grow and stand.

Joke: woman at party ….

As long as the other person is there, whether he looks at you or nto he is going to irritate you. As long as there is an engram, whether it expresses itself as action or not, it is going to irritate you. The odor and smell of engram will be constant source of torture and suffering. Even your joy if it is becos of an engram, it will nto be a joy. For eg. If u have engram that sweet brigns joy to you. Put in mouth continuously, maybe 3, 4 or max 10 after that. No. nothing more. Anything engram based is suffering. Even if your pleasure is measured with scale of engram, it is suffering. It never leads youto pleasure.pleasure means where the excitement happens for no reason, just becos of overflowing energy, bubbling energy. U know you are joyful but you don’t know why. The moment you know why, you will destroy it. The great intell you have is any great pleasure you can destroy.

…. (brahmachari)

He shud do as I want. That is where the calamity or diff starts. If he is intelligent no it is becos of compassion…sometime ppl are brought here to serve the sangha. Sometime ppl are brought here they cant be allowed to be in society. Some are brought let them serve society, sometime no let us save the soiceity!

The human mind plays all possible games. Patanj insists in this sutra the imp of destroying ALL the samskaras. Und removing the samskaras has 2 level. One if you reduce them to thot level by removing attachment your lfie will be great you wil have ecstatic life. But if you destroy them completely, you have the right and freedom not to come back again.

I know ppl takin g birth just to have a cup of icecream! ….

I have really seen. After I came out of prison, one small child was brought. I asked that baby what do you want – it said I want candy. When I gave candy I saw this fellow has taken brith just for one desire for one candy. Oh god what a waste of life!

….

You need heart, lever, kidney, some brain. So much this guy was creating, assuming that body just for one candy! I thot oh god! But one great thing, becos that guy fortunately asked that desire to me, the moement he asked I saw that desire collapsing. I know that child will become enlightened before he gets matured. When you physically mature, all your senses takes a big shift after you are physically mature. So I saw this guy had no other desire – of sex, smell , nothing else. Only that candy. That slide was his karmashaya. When that collapsed. I know for sure he will nto even be phys matured in ord way. He will just be a paramahamsa. Karmashaya the imp of destroying all the engrams without leaving even one or two. So that you will have comp freedome not to have one more life. The Videha mukti happens. Actually while you are alive, if you have diluted all engrams into thots, those thots will just die down. You will become videhamukta. But one imp thing is even if one engram is left and when you leave the body if you cant take care of that, even that one can create the whole cycle of life.

Human beings. I could see how that slide collapsed in the child’s inner space. That is what Maanikyavaasar describes in one of his verses – after taking brith, the cuase of take birth can be destroyed by his one touch! But don’t expect you can once more come back just for that candy, ask for it and get liberated. Fortunately for that guy all three matched so it happened. So how do you know all 3 will match? How do you know? You have just one simple engram, coming to master and he being able to fulfill it for you. For eg you have engram to kill somebody, master cannot say pl bring that person and kill. No. it cannot happen. So better not to leave any engraved memory when you leave the body. Und the key word of this sutra is Sati mooley means becos of the root of the engrams exists, it leads to life, longevity and all the sensory pleasures. If you reduce all the engrams into thots, your life will be happy. It is a life sol. But if you destroy them, you have freedom not to take brith. Many time ppl ask me you speak so much abt life and life sol then why do u make sanyasis?

I have 2 work, one to reduce engram to thots. That is what I do with public, my devotees all around the world. That is where I am directly useful to them. They come to me becos I am a utility nto a swami. That is the life sol part. But there is a 2nd part, sacred part. Destroying ALL engrams. This is what I am doing with my sanyasis. Und, what patanj describes in previous sutras, I am doing with dcommon public reducing engams to thots. But 2nd part, even thots shud not be allowed. That is the sacred part. That needs many practices which common man doe s not und. That is why you need a monastery. Where those practices are done, are sacred, expe, enjoyed, without being judges. If you see, a devotee who gets my teachings whole life becomes great, joyful ecstatic. Btu for my sanyasis, I give them diff exp, diff space. Becos these guys are supposed to know even if one engram is left, it does not work. This is like complttley cleaning the godown. S,,

So 2 diff job. Only ppl whose godwon is completely clean, can put room freshner on others…

Devotees and disciples may need to levitate but these guys are supposed to keep the ground firm for them to land.

Sati mooley – the keyword becos the root is there again & again birth happens, longevity happens, worldly pleasure happens. What is sol. Just finish it. That’s all. Simple decision to finish it. Not to allow the root to become tree. Not to allow it to sprout. We can do it now. I will see all of you exp a space where your awareness is not getting converted into thot. The clay is there – the chit the awareness you is clay. Any name or form made out of that is matter, engram, thto. Now you will see, you is not getting converted into thot or engram. Just simple consc decision. Let me be as my root. Let me not sprout as thot. Let me not grow as thot. Just be. That s all. So the process now, from this sutra is just be. Close your eyes.
