“Yoga - The Science of Bliss...”

Yoga - The Science of Bliss... Yoga is not just path of bliss, it is science of bliss. Please understand, path means some parts, some people may not be able to travel. Science means...equal, reproducible, on every person. The every possible mental and physical setup can experience. Only then it is science. Maybe a little bit of education and preparation is necessary for you to experience. Other than that no other prerequisites, no other reason can be given.

Yoga is Science of Bliss! We will enter into today’s sutras... Yogaanga anushtanaath taan, Yogaanga anushtanaath ashuddhi kshayet gnana deepthi a viveka khyaate, a viveka khyaate... Yogaanga anushtanaath ashuddhi kshayet gnana deepthi a viveka khyaate.

Swami Vivekananda translates this sutra as: “Through the practise of different parts of yoga, the impurities are destroyed and knowledge is kindled leading up to discrimination.” Swami Prabhavananda translates as: “As soon as all impurities have been removed by the practice of spiritual disciplines, the limbs of yoga, a men's spiritual vision, opens to the light giving knowledge of the atman.”

Swami Satchidananda translates as: “By the practice of the limbs of yoga the impurities dwindle away and there dawns the light of wisdom, leading to discriminative discernment.”

Again in this science Patanjali emphasizes, in this sutra, the sutra is... in the 2nd chapter, 28th verse in the whole yoga sutra, 79th sutra... Again Patanjali emphasizes... in this sutra, practicing, practicing all the limbs of yoga – yama, niyama, pranayama, asana ... of course third is asana. Yama, niyama, asana, pranayama, pratyahara, dhaarana, dhyana, samadhi. These are the 8 limbs of yoga. Patanjali emphasizes in this sutra the practise.

The big problem is ...Biggest problem for the spiritual seekers is, go on accumulating, accumulating, accumulating, acquiring knowledge, knowledge, knowledge, because it gives so much of excitement and never practice! Really! I'm telling you. Why you think all of you pay so much money and come and sit here? Because you know you will never practise in your house. See, all of you know whatever you are hearing in the Inner Awakening is already in youtube free... More than what you will hear in this 21 days is available. The 21 days, all 21 days put together you will never get to hear 800 hours sessions from me.

And 800 hours sessions are already in the Youtube. And nothing new or more I can say other that what I have said in the 800 hours spread over 8 years... Then why all of you here? You all know, you this big problem. You try, try try, nothing works. At the most you try to do some practise for three days, maximum fourth day, fifth day Ahhhhhhh … and what about you, even I can't do anything. As long as that biomemory is there, human biomemory, it has to be elevated, trained and put to practice by an elevated biomemory. Experienced biomemory. No other way. Nothing can work. Nothing can help.

Patanjali is dealing with one of the biggest problem.. the human consciousness is facing. Not practicing! Non-practise. Practise, practise... End of Bhagavatam, there is a very beautiful commentary for Bhagavatam. Somebody asked the Bhaagavatakaara Sukha Brahma: “ Is there... see you describe thousands of auspiciousness happens when an incarnation happens on the planet Earth, around him? Is there one bad thing, one thing can go wrong? Not even one bad thing can happen, not even one thing can go wrong? Is there any possibility, can you describe?”.

Then Bhaagavatakaara takes a lot of time, and then suddenly he wakes up and says; “Yes, one thing can go wrong.” All the Rishis got curious, “what can go wrong around an incarnation? Come on, tell us.” He says: “Because of his abhayam, and sharanam and aishwaryam people can become lazy, taking for granted and not establish themselves in the truth and suffer after he leaves the body. ''Which happened to the yadava community. Understand. Whole dvaraka, the yadavas they all were in ecstasy when Krishna was in the body, but unfortunately the abhayam, sharanam and aishwaryam. The Abhayam – the refuge he gives, sharanam – the moment you touch his feet, any, any problem you have disappears and dissolves, so you don’t understand the problems can haunt you. The problems never look as problems, as long as his sharanam is there. You are at his sharanam, at his feet. And Aishwarya – the joy and the abundance in the inner world and the other world which he radiates, you lose yourself into it.

Unfortunately if you have not established yourself in that by the proper practice -it's like a huge river flowing, incarnation is a huge river. But during the rainy season itself make a small canal and make a tank inside your own land. Make a canal and make a tank inside your land. So that for some reason the river dries up or you are not able to access the river, you have water source… Of course I am going to be in the body for long time. That is true. But who knows you are going to be in the body and around me.

So the moment you have the connection, you have the time, opportunity. Establish yourself. That is the reason I insist on doing this morning sadhana – creating intense yogic body and intense vedic mind. Even if you are not there, tomorrow here you should not feel that you lost one day. The best thing you can achieve in one day, you achieve it by the morning sadhana. So your accounts is clear, “no, I have not lost anything”. So imbibe, fill yourself..with that energy through the practise, so you don’t feel you lost time, you wasted time. Even if you are not around me. It is a very important problem Patanjali is analyzing.

Very important problem. What the Bhaagavatakaara very beautifully says, it's true what Bhaagavatakaara says... See the other community - the abhayam, sharanam, aishwaryam. In that three they are lost. But the moment Krishna left the body, they were not able to tolerate themselves and their life. And practically they killed each other, so that the others won't suffer. You see the killing did not happen out of enmity, it's almost like a mercy killing. You kill me, I kill you. Let us die. It is like a mass suicide. Tnat is what exactly happened. A mass suicide. Because without the master’s physical presence they do not know what to do.

His physical presence is so enchanting and charismatic, any depression just get 2 minutes around him and it disappears. Because of that you take depression very lightly and you are not centering yourself so that you can live handling all these possible distractions and depressions in future. Understand, this is the only thing which can go wrong around the master. Let that not happen in your life, save yourself. Let you not be the person to experience that wrong in your life.The only way is practice. Morning five, whatever it may be, be there in the akhada for yoga. and bend your body, twist your body, prepare it for the kundalini awakening. Then sitting in the presence and receiving this intense bliss dose for the day. This should become part of the life for all the people, all our devotees and disciples around the world.

One session a day. One saadhana session a day. One sadhana session means, morning, of course if not in the morning for other countries, in the evening. Because many countries people are saying they are able to watch live in the evening. So keep evening...the heavy yoga to create yogic body and pratyaksha pada puja. Sit in the complete, unclutched, feeling connected way. Unclutched from what is outer world, feeling connected with what is inner. Sit, that is what I can say as Upanishads, the ultimate sitting. Just unclutching or just feeling connected is only two different parts. Unclutching from the unnecessary things, feeling connected to the highest possibility, this is what I call Upanishad.

Upanishad is more deeper than ze zen. In ze zen you sit unclutched. In Upanishad you melt also with the feeling connection. So every day Sadhana, Upanishad, and above all naturally [...] the intense inspiring words from the Master.

So understand […] Sadhana – practice, is the only way to avoid one of the greatest calamity which can happen around the master, around an incarnation. No other calamity is possible around the master. I tell you nothing else can be a calamity. I can tell you … even the present calamities are created by the people who have never did saadhana. Who were never doing Sadhana, that is the main problem. Then naturally you yourself will feel, “ Oh, so many years I'm here. What have I achieved?”

Others also will ask, \`\`So many years you are here, what have you achieved?” I will also ask, “ So many years you are here, what have you achieved?” Then falling into the suffering. The suffering becomes hatred and you vomit it on everybody. Understand - practise, sadhana. Other than practicing, anything you do is reading like, is like reading a menu card in a hotel. Oh, 25 menu cards you read and now you're happy, come back. Your hunger is going to disappear? Maybe you will be feeling as if your hunger has disappeared because of the s..s.. food smell and reading about the menu and visualizing it and coming out. That is why in Vedic tradition we say, ghosts feel satisfied just by the smell and fantasising. If you're satisfied with the smell and fantasy and the menu card you are ghost. You are ghost. So be very clear, you are ghost.

Don’t be ghost. Be real being. Bring Sadhana into your being. Let Sadhana be your lifestyle. I bless you all to achieve, experience, live, express and radiate the eternal bliss - Nithyananda.
