187th Patanjali Yoga Sutras, 4th chapter 25th verse

Viseshana darshana atma bhaavanaat

Vivekananda’s editorial team: For the discriminating the perception of the mind as atman ceases

Prabhavananda: the man of discrimination ceases to regard the mind as atman

Satchitananda: the one who sees the distinction and the atman thought of mind as atman ceases forever

Osho: when one has seen the distinction there is cessation of the desire for dwelling in the atman – the self

It is a continuation of the last sutra. Let us go to the last sutra

Tath asankheya vaasana vihi chitram api paraartham samhathya paaritvaath

Patanjali continues now from the last sutra. So I will try to give you the complete translation so that you catch the thread. See when you realize through the discrimination, the consciousness the knower is different from the known and the knower, the consciousness is different from the mind, the desire to run around with the mind disappears. You just know the strong intense things of life. Again & again & again Patanjali is insisting the mind residing inside the consciousness without getting diverted into the ordinary thoughts. You residing inside the consciousness without getting diverted into the ordinary mind. A constant reminder explaining in different different angles is required. Sometimes people are so dull!

Through the discrimination when you find out the higher things, the indulgence in lower things automatically disappears. The taste of the lower things disappears! Discrimination is required not only for enlightenment even for the ordinary day to day life. Discrimination comes as a major quality for the cessation of the lower spectrum of your mind. Cessation of the lower spectrum of the mind can happen only by discrimination. If you don’t have proper discrimination, you will have the spectrum problem.

Here he is using a very beautiful verse - Atma bhaava bhaavana nivruthihi, visesha darshinaha. One of the major qualities of the atman is once you relax into it, you are eternally enjoying it. because it is like a magnet, once it pulls, it pulls. That’s it. It is such an eternal joy, experience to be in that space. Only till the 1st push you need to struggle. Not after that. That is why Patanjali says Visesha darshinaha – clear discrimination. Exactly what Patanjali wants us to do in this sutra. Let us see. Whole day he expects us to do discrimination in the internal thought current. Please understand when you start discriminating between the eternal and the ephemeral. Please understand, when you start discriminating between eternal and ephemeral I am not saying you will have only enlightenment. Even in your day to day life, even in your everyday life, even in your profession you will be so sharp.

Discrimination constant sharpening of your thinking structure whole day & night. Please understand the biggest problem human beings have is after ½ hr, the thought trend gets derailed and goes back to old track of down the drain. See in the whole day you are alert for maximum 2, 3 hours. That’s all. After that you are lost! You do not continuously live. That is why I wanted to tell you some of my observations – last 3-4 months I have started doing a unique process with my ashramites trying to increase their awareness whole day. Not just work but I have increased their responsibility. Means what whole day keeping your discrimination alive. You are not alive for it. Your bio memory wants to resist it. you just want to be hiding. Sometime when you don’t have discrimination, not only you are in trouble, whoever you associate yourself they also are in trouble.

Whole day try to keep yourself in high discrimination. Go on thinking – what is, what is, what is. Don’t try to escape into the no mind zone from your inertia. It cannot happen. You can jump into unclutching, no mind zone only after you develop a thorough discrimination 24 hours. Only then real unclutching can happen. When you are able to continue the waking state into dream sleep state without any distortion and disturbance you have done it. For example, if you are working on accounts in the waking state, even in your dream you should get the same situation related to those accounts repeated without any distortion. Only then you have a spectrum of awareness with which you can jump into the dream state from unclutching. So you need whole day discrimination. Very unfortunately people feel this whole day discrimination as a struggle. It is not struggle. Understanding it is tuning, training which takes away the dirt from suffering is taken away, the dirt from which the smell of suffering happens. don’t ever allow laziness to take over you when you are constantly thinking about the discrimination. If you are integrating yourself on one concept, you feel suffocation, pain which is not right. Don’t allow suffocation. Practice continuous thinking about discrimination.

I tell you success in any field is the amount of time you are able to retain the continuous awareness discrimination. For ex, you are working on a business if you are able to plan, think about what is loss, what is profit – if you are able to think whole day you are successful. If you do it for 2-3 hours and your mind gets distracted derailed then you fail in that business. The ability to hold on continuously in one integrated concept is success. That is why I am so clearly telling we will win! I can even say we already won! Life is not how much of money power, media power or rowdy power you have. No. Life is how much of internal discriminating power you have! In any field the continuous ability to stand on discrimination – that is responsible for success. Meditate on the power of discrimination. Now have few minutes. Sit with yourself and decide whole day you will maintain the discrimination with awareness in whatever field you may choose. But maintain the awareness and discrimination. Let you all experience the highest Kundalini Awakening and highest discrimination with awareness.

As I said in the beginning of the satsang, I will finish the Patanjali Yoga Sutras. Till then we will not have eNkriya on Sunday. I will complete the Patanjali Yoga Sutras and after that I send the eNkriya on Sundays. Now sit in samyama for next few minutes meditating on discrimination. I Bless you all sitting with us at this moment in 786 places through eNtv, in 19 places through 2 way video conferencing having Nayana Deeksha, in 214 cities, 25 countries!
