“As you are all aware I am continuing on Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras.”
Prayer. Welcome.
As you are all aware I am continuing on Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras. Today’s morning satsang, I am continuing the same sutra which I was exploring yesterday. Suject – know your past life, past life regression. Yesterday I was explaining the science of past life regression. Now I will enter into the tec
Samskara saakshaat karanaat poorva jaati gyananm
I have spoken elaborately on this past life regression. It is already available in Youtube. I will give you the essence Patanjali is trying to explain through this sutra. First you need to understand what is past life. There is a question I got –
Q: 10 avataars include Buddha. But Buddha’s Jataka tales does not include all this 10 avatars. Does it? Can you explain more about the beauty of dasavataar jataka.
A: You need to understand this truth. First the basic truth about the past life. Your soul, the individual soul is the reflection of the cosmic soul what we call paramatma. Swatma is the reflection of paramatma. the individual soul is the reflection of the cosmic soul. Your body is the mirron on which the reflection is happening. I will explain with this example. Understand this light above my head is the cosmic soul. The reflection of this light on this pad (in his lap) is the body and is the individual soul. Every time when you take a new birth, you will create new pad, new mirror. So buddha’s Jataka tales or the tales of all the mirrors he assumed. When we say Buddha is an incarnation, don’t think he has to go through the same process like matsya, korma, varaha, nrusimha avatara. NO. from all those avataras those 10 mirrors he collects one small part and out of that material he makes his own mirror. It is an imp truth. All your doubts about past life will disappear if you understand this. understanding about your past life will help you in the present life. The 2nd understanding about the past. You have 3 layers of past.
1. Past of from your birth to this moment. After you took birth in this body from your D.O.B to this day. This ist he 1st layer past 2. All the briths you took till this moment. 3. From the beginning of cosmos till this m oment.
Forget the 3 rd layer past. That is not required to you. that is related only to the major decisions related to cosmos. You need only know about the simple laws which bind your life. 3rd layer past is required only if you want to work on the cosmic consciousness not otherwise. Knowing the 1st layer past will heal you physically – especially all disease/disorder related to heart is from the root of 1st layer past. The Bharatn psyche, life style, mental set up, food, clothing everything is designed to flow with understanding of past life. But unfortunately, we moved out of that understanding that is the reason the whole Bharatn civilization is suffering from heart disorder. Bharatns suffer 600% more heart disorders than any other civilization, ethnic community or group. This is only recently may be last 8 years this happened. when we started disconnecting ourself from our traditional understanding based life. The other day somebody was asking me Swamiji this media is abusing our Vedic Tradition and life based on meditation left and right promoting this MTv culture which leads naturally to emptiness. Where are we heading. How are these modern day youngsters going to learn the lesson. I want to tell very clearly. I don’t see any hope. They will end in 3D – drugs, depression, death. I don’t see future for Bharatn youth! Largest suicide rate among youngsters in the world is in Tamil Nadu. Largest capital of youngsters committing suicide is Tamil Nadu and Kearala. And largest % of belief in atheism is also Tamilnadu. The atheism and sucide, drugs, depression – there was a study done by acknowledged organizations with the funding of the WHO says they are related. If you think you have only 100 yr life the amount of hurriedness to squeeze the life will be in you. so what will you do – the rush, the violence, the aggression with which you jump on life and try to squeeze as m uch as you can. Naturally yoru heart is not capable of running in that speed. It leads to enormous amount of desires and very little capacity for your b ody and mind. This conflict, this frustration is responsible for all heart disorders. We are basically agriculture based – grain based civilization. Our mental set up, life style the very DNA –our very core, our very body- if you are born to Bharatn parents, your very body is designed to live with life with an understanding of multiple births. Every understanding our ancestors carry is transmitted to our bio memory as an internal deep programming. Even the worst atheists of this country I have met many of them. I asked them only one thing – when I talk about past life does it click with your muscle memory, your logic? Every person agrees. They say when I listen this concept it clicks with my heart, so physically I know it is right. But mentally I have taken a stand. So I cannot do anything about it. Mind is societal, body is natural. Bharatns are born with a clear understanding about multi lives you went through and you go through. If you have understanding that we have had many births and will have many births, you will have tremendous understanding – you don’t need to bother. The restful awareness which the concept of multiple births brings is unimaginable.
That is why is want you to understand 1st and 2nd layer past. 1st layer past will heal basic problems of life. 2nd layer past will enlighten you and give you tremendous joy. Patanjali says through the perceiving of the impressions by observing the past impressions you can achieve the past life memory. I will give you the exact memory – what to do to open up your past life memory. You need to do this for at least 21 days. Night before going to bed, just sit. Start going back in your life. If you are sitting for this meditation at 8 pm- start from the moment you woke up from the bed. From morning, just come down, just not rethinking, but re-living. No re think, review, NO. re-live. From morning come to this moment, same way, from this moment go back to morning. So you need to do 3 thing – brushed your teeth, took bath, breakfast, went to office, had lunch, in this cycle go till the moment you are in. then reverse the process – go back. From this moment – ½ hr bk what did I do? 6 pm what did I do..like this till them orning waking up moment. When you do this 2 reliving, so many minute details the subtle emotions you went through, the subtle experiences you went through the whole thing will be awakened. I can say within 21 days the whole understanding about the past and all the questions related to your past. How you create a samskara – impression, how you manipulate it for your day to day understanding, how you can heal the wounds created by those samskaras – all these 3 will click in your inner space. How much ever I teach you with words, it will be just words. It has to b ecome your experience. As long as it is my word, you will never have the deepest understanding. Only when it becomes your own word, it becomes your deepest understanding. What patanjali means by Samskara saakshaat karanaat poorva jaati gyanam – Samyama on samskaras – observing the past impressions. Please understand, night you may need to spend an hour. If you are interested in yoru past life and in healing traumas, phobias, fears you carry from yoru past life to your present life – just sit and go thru from morn to that moment what you did and from that moment to your morning moment. You may think how living one day of my past reveals my past lives. It will. You will see. When your mental set up was created as a child all the fears, greed, joy, pleasure, pain everything is recorded. Every day you will go through those experiences directly or indirectly some way. So with one day analysis you will your past life opening up. Suddenly you will the incidents memories which did not happen that day also open up to you vividly, clearly. Actually when you see your past life opening up to you. the first thing you will do is you will laugh at the foolish things you are doing again & again & again.
That is why in Zen tradition they call enlightenment is the ultimate laughter. Laughing at the whole foolishness! When you laugh at the whole foolishness, they do not know what to do. They are completely perturbed and disturbed. Laugh at the whole mind and samsakras which is attacking you in the inner space. Suddenly they will lose power over you and disappear. So tonight practice this process and send me your reply. The technique is before going to bed. Live your past from morning till night and night till morning. Send me your home work. I will respond to your questions and queries. Blessings!
