Change is the Eternal Law: Patanjali Yoga Sutra 121

I welcome you all with My love and respects. Let us enter into the today’s sutra. Patanajali’s Yoga Sutra, 121st sutra, in the 3rd chapter, 15th verse.

krama-anyatvaṃ pariṇāma-anyatve hetuḥ

Vivekananda translates this sutra as "the succession of changes is the cause of manifold evolution”.

Swami Prabhavananada translates as "the succession of these changes is the cause of manifold evolution

Swami Sachidananda translates as "the succession of these different phases is the cause of differences in stages of evolution”. Wow!

Osho translates as “the variation in transformation is caused by the variety in a underlying process”

I will try to give My own translation, My own understanding.

krama-anyatvaṃ pariṇāma-anyatve hetuḥ

As I said yesterday’s sutra is about the illusory delusion and illusion. This sutra need to be understood connecting with yesterday's sutra. So I want you to clearly understand the gist of the yesterdays sutra so that you can catch the truth of this sutra.

The constant illusory fear and illusory courage, illusory greed and illusory pain, illusory pleasure, illusory sufferings created in you is responsible for various actions and changes happening in you. Please understand, if I have to reveal the sacred secret to you honestly, a very important sacred secret. This illusory fears, delusory greed, illusory pains and pleasures even if this illusions and delusions, if you handle it with awareness, as I said in the previous satsangs, just 2 sutras ahead of this sutra, 2 sutras before this sutra, like how I explained the time concept whether worrying about the past or worrying about the future is happening in me in present, this moment.

So same way whether illusory fear or delusory greed is happening in me which is reality? I am real, in me in this delusion and illusions are happening. Have this understanding and face the illusion and delusion. That very illusion and delusion will lead to evolve… evolution. Please understand all changes whether getting more and more caught in illusion and delusion or evolving out of illusion and delusion and reaching enlightenment - both happens by the illusion and delusion - how you handle it.

See the cyclone of fear and greed, courage and fear, fame and defamation, pain and pleasure is constantly attacking you if you give up the restful awareness or balance. Understand, whatever is said and done this kind of an experience and knowledge can never be received second hand. I tell you all, before the scandal I was talking, I will make at least few lakh people enlightened. Now I tell you courageously, at least few million people I will make them enlightened.

Before this abusal and religious persecution, I was telling 12/12/12, 10000 of us will sit all over the world and levitate and reduce the collective negativity of the world, spread global peace, positive energy. But now suddenly after this persecution, we just preponed. At this moment 10000 people are sitting around the world with Me. And end of the satsang they are going to levitate; now I know many of them are already. We preponed our goals and not only that, this religious persecution has taken away many of the unnecessary extra fat which was around our belly. No really! The extra fat around your belly is not only extra weight and heavy load, dangerous for your very heart, can be the source for the future Cancer. We are rid of this cancerous possibilities. We are rid of this unnecessary fat.

It’s like a cyclone, constantly happening on you. When it happens how you stand, how you stand. Are you standing with awareness and larger broader strategy planning? Or are you shrinking and shivering and shaking? Stand with larger strategy. Stand with broad understanding. Actually this persecution has made us immortal. Now we know. Many of our own disciples and ashramites were always wondering and worrying how to be non-controversial, how to be non-controversial, how to be accepted by the whole society. Because of this fear they were diluting the truths I was delivering to the world. And the truths and the great teachings, the sacred secrets were not being told to the world. Now the whole problem of how to be non-controversial is taken away; the fear from our disciples that we should be non-controversial. And it gave the courage ‘let us stand for the sacred truth and the sacred tradition for which we are giving our life.’

I can tell you I set a trend, I have set a trend and I have given courage to My disciples for the truth we believe. Understand when the illusions and delusions constantly happen on you, remember it is happening on you which is reality. YOU are real. Only the happenings are unreal. So stand with that real YOU. The happenings will make evolve you and it will lead to evolution and enlightenment.

So essence of today’s satsang: all the illusory fears and delusory greed, pain, pleasure everything, comes in your life like a cyclone. Stand with restful awareness, that will make you enlightened, that will liberate you. If you are shaken and succumb to it, you will be caught in more and more and more negativity. This is the essence.

The homework for you all: write five incident in your life when you succumbed to the illusory delusory fears and greeds and got caught in deeper and deeper problems and remember five incident when you stood strongly with the restful awareness and got liberated from the problems, when the illusory delusory fears and greeds attacked you; five this side, five this side think.

Let you all Achieve, Experience, Live, Radiate, Express and Share the Eternal Bliss, Nithyananda.

Thank you
