“Today I am expanding the same 119th Patanjali Yoga Sutras, 3rd chapter…”

Prayer. Welcome. Before entering into the sutra, I want to remind allof you to get back to padmaasana and samaana mudra.

Today I am expanding the same 119th Patanjali Yoga Sutras, 3rd chapter 13th verse -

Etena bhoota indriyeshu dharma lakshana avastha parinaama vyakhyataha!

From tomorrow everyday the sutra and the translation which I am going to speak will be uploaded in the website 2 days ahead so that before you come you will have an idea about it and it will help you to grasp the whole subject.

In this sutra there is 5 key terms – bhoota, indriyeshu, dharma, lakshana, avastha – I can say 5 methods on ultimate enlightenement. I already spoke on bhoota – means the elements – when you look or think or feel or see beyond space, how free you feel, liberated you feel, but when you come to the normal so called reality, how bound you feel – even though we know that is a greater reality than the normal reality why we are not able to retain that space in our bio memory – ability to retain that in our bio memory – if we are able to retain that mood constantly in our bio memory we are eliminated from bhoota – elements. Indriyeshu – when you have violently used your indriyas and are tired you think – Oh god! I should stop falling prey to my senses – especially if you have committed a blunder for sexual pleasure, you will feel – God, for such small pleasure I have committed a blunder. The ability to retain being free from the senses is liberty from indriyas. Lakshana – how the sun goes around the earth – not earth around the sun. the time. I received a letter – whether sun goes around earth or vice versa how is it useful for me in my life? When you understand this, you will use this idea about the ordinary concept you have in your day to day life related to time. Using this idea will directly liberate you from the pressures related to time. For example, if you understand past, present, future is all in this moment – then even if you are thinking about past or worrying about future you are doing in this present moment – when you remember this and be in awareness suddenly you will see the fight and struggle with this present moment is solved! You now don’t need to suffer or struggle to be in present moment. The suffering, struggle which you are having to be in present moment is gone! In this moment the rest, the relaxation and the restful awareness you feel will bring you out of the many unnecessary torture you go through and you will be liberated.

Today I am going to talk on Dharma & Avastha – the essential nature what you think as nature. If you broaden your understanding about nature, straight away you will be liberated from the heart problems. I can save at least billions of dollars for Bharatns because Bharatns are largest heart problem hit people in the world. and heart attack is the largest killer in Bharat. So heart attack is the war between you and the cosmos or I can say you and your swadharma – your innate nature.

Now I will explain the dharma & swadharma. Please understand the word dharma means the innate nature – when you flow with it an innate intelligence in which your very system operates, based on which the cognition happens in your system gets awakened. Please understand when the dharma become swadharma, when your nature becomes your innate nature, you exp liberation. Understanding your nature, making it as your bio memory, your muscle memory making it your very understanding the core memory from which you operate.

I will give you one example. Yesterday there was a question by a Rishi.

….now to liberate ourselves

He is asking for a technique. I will explain this concept step by step. Put your whole attention & awareness. I will not leave a single technical term unexplained. So catch all the technical terms. The first term is dharma – nature, 2nd is swadharma – the nature becoming innate intelligence in you. 3rd is the liberation. There was another one serious discussion yesterday. They asked – swamiji when I think & argue too many concepts in my head – one is fighting with another. Who is arguing with the other? What is exactly happening? I want all of you to know an imp basic sacred secret. Sacred secret is something, the moment you realize you will feel completely relaxed. One ss is by nature, human being is inconsistent – don’t try to be consistent! In your brain there are 21 independent logics functioning allt he time – as per yoga tradition we call them naadis. Unfortunately, when you try to be consistent, you accept only one or two logical systems and try to deny, depress, suppress, avoid the other logical parts of you. I will give you one example – morning when I wake up I feel like falling in the feet of Anandeshwara. But when I sit and meditate I feel I am God, Anandeshwara himself. When I sit and talk I feel I am a teacher. Pl und the logic which falls at feet of shiva, the logic which feels I am shiva, the logic which feels I am teacher Is all independent logical systems. The moment I am stuck with one logic, then I will not be able to exp and express any other logic. If I am stuck falling at shiva’s feet, I will nto be able to experience and express being shiva. If I am stuck with being shiva, I will miss the way when I melt at shiva’s feet, bowing down which is a tremendous joy. Namaha – not mine is a great relief! We know the relief brain experiences when we say not me, namaha! To which you bow down is not important. That you bow down and surrender and relax is important.

Once Alexander met a Sadhu on the banks of Ganga. He said my teacher wants and Bharatn Sadhu, come. Sadhu said I am not interested. I will nto come. He said I am king of the universe how can you talk this? He was shaken by the sadhu’s relaxed attitude. Sadhu asked – why do you do all this violence? Alexander said I want to conquer the world. Sadhu asked for what. Alexander said – to rest in peace. Sadhu said – You fool, I am already resting in peace already!

The conquering aggressive people do not knowt he science of resting in peace. I tell you the fellow who do nto know the science of resting in peace, you need not punish him at all! Aggressive violent civilizations cannot understand the joy of bowing down. I tell you a man who has found his logic which is an experience of bowing down in you many time that logic calls you to follow it. Whenever you fall in love. I am not saying devotion to God, Guru, not that. Even the ordinary love with a person or object. Even in those areas, your brain calls you to surrender. It is restful awareness of namaha – not mine. Unfortunately the fellows who can never understand the joy of bowing down, surrendering, relaxation will suppress that part of the logic in their life continuously. That is the source of atheism. Fools who do not know the the joy of bowing down, surrendering, relaxation is atheist. A man who knows when to relax, I surrender,w hen to say I assert, I stand up is a theist. Atheism or theism is not about God being there or not. NO. ti is about you having a brain or not.

One day God calls Adam and says I have good news and bad news for you. Adam says give me good news first – God says – I will give you two things – one brain which works intelligently and 2 genital organs which will give you pleasure. Adam says this is good news. What is the bad news then? God says – only one will work at a time!

The joy of bowing down, relaxing, saying namaha is one aspect of your brain. Same way power of asserting, power of proving yourself is one aspect of your logic. And the identity that you show to the outer world how people should remember you is one dimension of logice. Th e identity which you believe as you in you is one dimension or aspect of your logic. And the logic which bows down which feels the joy of restful awareness that is one identity. The logic which asserts is one identity. You have 21 logics functioning in you all the time constantly in your system. But the problem starts when you expect consistency among this 21. When you understand this 21 cannto be consistent, you only need to be intelligently playing with all this 21 it is called awakening of your Medha naadi. Medha means innate intelligence. Person who can play with all this 21 aspects of your logic without expecting consistency among them. Don’t expect consistency. Some time you will feel deeply devotional – sitting, singing, worshipping. Some time you will feel logic – there is nothing outside me, I am that. Sometime you will feel there is nothing outside, nothing inside, everything is bogus. At sometime you will feel life is nothing but sense pleasure, sometime you feel life is nothing but power. A man who makes decisions when he thinks life is power is Kshatriya. A man who makes decisions when he thinks life is money is Vysya. A man who makes decisions when he thinks life is enlightenment is a Brahmana. A man who makes decisions when he thinks life is nothing but sense pleasure is oridinary worker.

Which part of the logic you use to make decisions decides what kind of person you are. I want you to know do not try to be consistent with one logic. You will be mentally retarded. A man in whom only 1 or 2 of this logic is awakened is mentally retarded. A man whose all 21 logic is awakened not only will live beautifully with all this 21 he will also have extraord innate intelligence – medha naadi. The essence of life is medha naadi – means living with all aspects of your life beautifully.

For example, in the case of an advocate, the logic of argument will be useful only in the court, it will nto be useful in your house. When you bring the black coat to the bedroom, you are trying to be consistent. Und consistency is not life. At one point you may need to use one kind of logic, and other point another. But when you start suffering between diff logics that you have and create confusion, you are adharmi – you are destroying your life. When you encourage one and suppress other logics, your whole life will be dull and dead. You will not have the medha naadi – life based on intelligence!

Dharma means understanding that you will have 21 kinds of logic in you, 21 different dimensions of logics in you working constantly.

Adharma means suppressing some of the logic and trying to be consistent with only one or two logic.

Swadharma means understanding all these diff dimensions need be consistent with each other

Liberation means because of this restful awareness and the knowledge of how to play with this logic not having suffering & not creating suffering.

Swadharma means understanding all these diff dimensions need be consistent with each other, not trying to be consistent among them or trying to suppress one or two – having all of them and knowing when to use what and being in restful awareness and able to play when you need to play what and able to surrender when you don’t need to play. Understand the ability to play with all the 21 dimensions of your logic and ability to rest from all of them – relax. Ability to live with them and leave them is what I call swadharma – innate intelligence. If you have that ability then you know you have innate intelligence – you will have medha. This is exact understanding of the word medha!

Innate intelligence is medha – medha naadi! When your kundalini energy awakens, that medha naadi only gets awakened so you will be able to play all the 21 dimensions. The medha naadi is an extraordinary strength, extraordinary power. See we all learn so much about ability to live. Unfortunately we don’t understand the ability to leave is a great asset. We are not giving emphasis on abilty to leave. I have travelled and studied so many country cultures – I tell you Bharat is the best country to age gracefully. Becos in our tradition we are beautifully taught the science of leaving gracefully! Of course the modernized Bharat is no more Bharat and this is not there. But the Bharatn village is the best place to age gracefully! Still in Bharatn villages, aged person is respected. He does not need to compete with youngsters. If you are aged, you are respected. At least I can tell from my pre-monastic family, my grand father who died after 90 was the head of the family and had all the wealth under his control. He was aged and respected. He is not unwanted and dumped in some old age home. Everyday his opinions are taken. He is made to feel he is necessary – he is needed. My grand father would never use the money. Never it was power centric. It was respect centric. He knew how to retire gracefully and society knew the science of respecting him. In traditional Bharatn culture we had the system of ageing gracefully & elder knew the science of leaving gracefully. Now the aggression and greed neither these fellows know the science of leaving gracefully nor ageing gracefully.

If you know the science of leaving, you know how to age gracefully. You can go back to Bharatn villages and ask. In every Bharatn village you will have at least 2 stories of elderly couples fixing the date and dying or when the man dies, the wife just dies. Means what – they aged gracefully, retired gracefully, rested gracefully. The science of leaving, science of namaha – not mine is one of the important logic of your brain. That is the reason when the whole thing is taken away from me, suddenly for no reason – throne was not there, people were not there, nothing was there but the joy and ecstasy in me could not be taken away from me when I was in prison! The science of leaving understand when we do not know the science of leaving, you emphasize too much on living – so you try to be consistent.

Essence of the whole message – dharma, swadharma, mukti – liberation.

When you are free from the sufferings because of all the 21 naadis fully awakened & you are living freely – you are liberated
