“Subject is Are You a Power or Povert”
Subject is Are You a Power or Povert
The difference between being a power or a povert is too big. Patanjali in this sutra gives some of the imp understanding about being a power or a poverst.
Swaswami satyo swaroopa upalabdhi hetuhu sanyogaha.
Vivek: Junction of prakruthi (means nature) & purusha (means consciousness) is the cause of the nature of the realization of the powers of both the seen and the lot.
Prabhava:
Satchit : The union of owner purusha and owned prakruthi nature causes the recognition of the nature and powers of them both.
Gyan:L having an alliance or relationship between the objects and the self is the necessary means of true realization of those objects by that very self.
Prakruthi means nature, jata matter. Purusha means consciousness energy life. These 2 overlaps on each other, connects each other so that both are known or experienced. Please understand, if there is no purusha consciousness matter cannot be experienced. If there is no matter the extraordinary power to power of the consciousness – consc has power to power everything - that will not be known if there is no matter. It is a very strange relationship almost like marriage. Like languages are innate part of DNA and not accident, I can say marriage is innate part of nature and not accident!
Without matter the glory of the consc the power to power will not be known. Same way without consc the extraordinary powers of matter will not known. Both connect so that they are known to each other or each other exists in everything.
Why should prakruthi be known. Only then the consc can exp itself. Only when the consc can experience itself it can radiate.
Seen & the seer – let us understand these 2. Prakruthi & purusha. Whether in greed or in fear, both of them are together. Sometime prakruthi is in love with purusha. Sometime it is afraid of purusha. But prakruthi is with purusha. Nature is in love with consc. That is what is bhakti. Basically you are matter. When you are in love with the consc it called bhakti – it can be called guru bhakti or deva bhakti. When you are excited it expresses in the form of bhakti. When you are frightened it can express as hatred, self denial or denial or anything other than mind. That is why atheists are bound to be in depression. They are denying the very root. They say nothing more than what they know with their 5 senses exists. So there is nothing they say. If there is nothing more than what they know with their 5 senses, you will be depressed by 20 or 21 years. Because by 14 your body gets matured, and the next 7 years is enough to experience everything you can with your 5 senses.
By the age of 6, 7 years after physical maturity the person is done. Then what else to do? If you at least have the idea there is something beyond known means matter you have hope you can pull, your life can be dragged. At some point you may experience or may not experience but the possibility of dragging exists.
By nature you are wired to be with certain kind of dharma. So whenever you move out of it. These 5 senses are the ultimate truth. So naturally what do you understand about life. You don’t understand and you don’t know what is going on. You walk out of life then. Walking out of life is what I call depression. The other day I was reading an article by a preacher. He curses atheists left & right. He says they will suffer this hell that hell. Then I realized you don’t need to put them in any suffering. Not having any hope more than your 5 senses is enough suffering! That is enough torture. If you want to destroy any civilization, just spread atheism in that civilization. It will be destroyed in 2-3 generation. They will nto have any friendliness with life. They believe there is nothing more than 5 senses. Then they acquire more & more money, property that becomes the base of life. Then naturally there will be tremendous enmity. And it will get destroyed in 2 or 3 generations.
One guy steals something with the help of another thief. Both run to forest and decide to share the wealth. One thief thought somehow I should grab the whole wealth. How? The other guy is also thinking the same. One guy suddenly got an idea saying – I am feeling hungry and you too are hungry. Keep the wealth, I will go get food, we will eat and then share. He goes gets food which is poisoned and comes back. The other guy ready with a weapon and kills the guy who bought the food. He then eats the food and he too dies. Enmity based civilization will be like this and will get destroyed in 2-3 generations. Atheism based civil will not live more than 2-3 generations. Intense depression, un imaginable levels or enmity, criticism, anger and violence will be evoked on each other. So there is no need for a separate hell. I tell you the main reason the reason for many of old civilizations the reason for their death is just atheism. Atheism is the poison mixed in the Vijnanamaya kosha.
Whatever food, medicine, clothes you give is in the Annamaya kosha. Any disturbance in this will lead to death of annamaya kosha. The air you breathe, water you drink if that gets disturbed, the pranamaya kosha destruction will happen. Then the education your receive from the young age is the manomaya kosha. The ideas you carry about life – life, re-birth, world, cosmos, God, your own source, who you are – all these understandings are Vijnanamaya kosha. Ananda maya kosha is enlightenment.
If you poison one person’s food he will die. If you poison air the whole village will die. If you affect the education system, throught trend that will affect the educated group. If you poison the vijnanamaya kosha – the very idea ppl carry about life, god, soul, then the whole civil will be gone. Washed away, wiped off.
The ppl who teach atheism is worst danger for any civil. When you convey this type of ideas it takes 2-3 generations for the idea to penetrate. But once that is done it is like poison spread at the root. Gone! Ppl who preach atheism are more dangerous than ppl who mix poison in the water or air. Once it penetrates, it is a destruction to whole humanity.
Prakruthi by its own strength by its own glory. It has no reason to live if she does not have consc as the goal. She has no need to exist if she cannot achieve purusha the consc. But the mind which starts believing more than matter nothing else exists is caught is already engaged – no encaged. That is the word. It is already in the cage! When the matter starts believing there is no life, there is nothing more beyond what is perceived through the 5 senses, elements, the pancha indriyas it the most dangerous thing happens to matter. Matter is supposed to evolve continuously. That stops when it stops believing that the possibility of something more than the 5 senses exists.
When you ask them, okay. Nothing else exists. Then what is the purpose? What will you do? They will say let us get more first then we will think what to do. With the introduction of possibility of consc every individual has unique goal in their life not competing with each other. Without competition unique goal, unique thing to achieve. Unique goal to achieve exists. But when it is not there, the whole thing boils to competition. Means what? At the end, even if there is one more person you have a threat.
So all atheistic ideologies directly or indirectly awakens, cherishes, nourishes intense enmity. When the cosnc purusha self, life, whatever word you want to use, you can use. When civil is built on those principles, naturally the whole cosmology of the civil will be diff.
Each person has a unique goal, unique understanding. Has a unique thing to explore. When you know there is a possibility for matter exists, possibility for matter to explore consc exists, 1000s of fight and unnecessary competition in the material level just disappears. It does not exist. We need to understand very deeply & strongly the truths of foundations of civilizations. This is what I wanted to call. Vijnananamaya kosha is the cosmology on which our civil are built. None of us are b othered about this. We feel let us clear our part and go. You need to know the depth of the corruption done to you.
Only when I started my parivrajaka I was able to understand the depth of the corruption done to my system by society. Only if you…
Unless the vijananamaya kosha bhedana is done – means – only when you und at this level how corruption happens by social, economical, and diff factors you wont understand it is the Halahala – the poison which destroys the whole civil
Because this und creates deep enmity. When enmity is created, you will realize too much of pain has been generated even when you win. Reason less enmity. Reason less anger. Even though the infrastructure avlbl is enuf for every body to exist – this so called land shortage. If we know how to share and use, share and care. It is just human greed. I can say atheism is one of the main reason for all calamaties on planet earth. Materialistic civil itself is built on atheism.
Unfortunately, by & by not only you repeat this you start believing it. That is the most dangerous thing. You work for some purpose that is different. That is not a Networth. That is what I call just material based, matter based civilization. If you don’t have right definitions about life, these definitions are too dangerous. Like what is your networth are too dangerous definitions.
I have some
Good health – the slowest possible rate at which one can die
Research – what you are doing when you don’t know what you are doing
Conscience – the part that hurts when all other parts feel good
Inst manual – profess way of messing up any new gadget
Advtsg – art of convincing ppl to speadn money for something they done need
Consult – how to tell ppl to impro on something that he or she does not now at all
Multi taksing – ability to screw up several things at same time
Exp – something you don’t get until just after you need it
Fine – a tax for something badly done.
Conclusion – the point where you are
Bigamy – one wife too many
Monogamy – same thing!
Disciple – existence way of sowing that even an eligh master cannot have his way.
Some time the wrong definitions creates really lot of trouble. So the prakruthi feels there is no purusha. There is nothing more beyond senses, you are in a danger of death and depression. That is why patanjali very beautifully describes here – unless there is consc the glory of nature cannot be exp. Unless there is nature, the glory of consc cannot be exp. So when the both are connecting – you are the spot where matter and consc are meeting, celebrate your existnese! Celebrate your matter part, celebrate your consc part. Celebrate your existence!
Upalabdhi – recognition – this is the keyword for this sutra.
Upalabdhi – recognition – nature cannot celebrate without consc. Consc cannot celebrate without nature. Both of them join in you. Celebrate both of them where you are. You will be radiating the purpose of both of their existence. It sisi like a split A/C. both sides are required. Machine even if it is outdoor you need it. The part of the machine in your room is also needed. You cannot have one without the other. Both are basic requirement. One provides cooling and the other cools the air.
Position of a husband is just like a split a/c. no mater how loud he is indoor, he is designed to be low inside.
Husband is the one who is head of the family. Wife is the neck. Wherever she moves, he goes.
The essence of this whole sutra is celebrate your existence because that is where matter & consc is meeting. So you can enjoy glory of matter & glory of cosnc. Celebrating your existence is living and radiating enlightenment. When you actually celebrate that very celebration radiates so much energy. Just today morning one devotee asks swamiji we always believe if rama’s foot falls on Sri lanka, it will be blessed and healed. You are our Rama, please put your foot there and heal it. When she said, such a click happened in me! Means what click happening in the cosmos. Yesterday one devotee broughr one Rama statue from Arunachala. Just few months before I accepted the resp of rama temple. Suddenly when she said it was such a strong click for me. Now I know the whole sri lanka will be healed. It will be a tremendous healing for that country. I am going there to receive a doctorate for healing to that place. Be always in celebrating mood, then whatever click happens in you will be a celebration for the world.
W e will do some research that wherever the eNkalpataru happens, that place will experience lesser violence. Because that place will get impacted by the eNkalpataru. If you celebrate your existence, you will be doing so much good. Because I celebrate my existence and I revere myself I know the effect of that on the cosmos.
When you understand about you, you will feel oh God! I am God, I am the centre of the cosmos where the prakruthi and purusha are meeting. You will just have tremendous reverence for you. Swaatma bhakti – it does not have ego. Ego means saying you are big guy and destroying everything. Swaatma bhakti means you feel you are big guy and heal everything. What is the side effect of you revering you will prove whether it is celebration or ego. When you have self reverence and want to heal everybody it is reverence and swaatma bhakti.
I tell you have swaatma bhakti, celebrate your presence and revere yourself. You will see you will be radiationg enlight.
Blessings!
