I welcome you all with My love and respects. Let’s enter into today’s subject. Today’s subject is ‘Enlightenment is beyond Bliss' 142nd sutra of Patanjalis Yoga Sutra, in the 3rd chapter 36th verse. Let Me enter into the sutra...
 +
Sattva-purusayaor atyantasamkirnayoh pratyayavisesho
 +
bhogah pararthat svartha-samyamat pursha-jnanam.
 +
A long sutra. Let me read it out once more.
 +
Sattva-purusayaor atyanta samkirnayoh pratyaya visesho
 +
bhogah pararthat svartha-samyamat pursha-jnanam.
 +
 +
[02:43]
 +
 +
Swami Vivekananda translates this sutra as ‘Enjoyment comes through the non discrimination of the soul and sattva which are totally different. This enjoyment is for the sake of the soul. There is another state of sattva called svartha - its own pure state. The practice of samyama on this state gives the knowledge of the purusha.’
 +
Swami Prabhavananda translates as ‘The power of enjoyment arises from a failure to discriminate between the atman and sattva guna which are totally different. The sattva guna is merely an agent of the atman which is independent, existing only for its own sake. By making samyama on the independence of the atman, one gains knowledge of the atman.’
 +
Swami Sachidananda translates as ‘The intellect and purusha are totally different. The intellect existing for the sake of purusha, while the purusha exists for its own sake. Not distinguishing this is the cause of all experience and by samyama on the distinction, knowledge of purusha is obtained.’
 +
Bhagwan Osho translates as ‘The experience is the result of the inability to differentiate between purusha and pure consciousness and sattva - pure intelligence, although they are absolutely distinct. Performing samyama on the self interest brings knowledge of the purusha separated from the knowledge of the others.’
 +
 +
[04:41]
 +

Let’s enter into the sutra, the sacred secret. It is more deeper and philosophical. Patanjali comes to the one of the peak samyama. He gives samyama for enlightenment. Please understand, each day he was giving a technique and technology for experiencing different powers, extraordinary powers. Today he is coming to the enlightenment. He is giving us samyama for… directly to achieve enlightenment. I'll finish the whole sutra in just two line. I'll reveal the sacred secret in this sutra then I will expand on every word.
 +
Understand, the whole essence, the sacred secret in this sutra is, whenever you go through any intense experience like a joy or suffering or peace or silence or awareness, just turn your awareness, your consciousness to who is going through this experience; that’s all. Ramana Maharishi finishes this whole thing, subject in one line - just look who is having the experience; that’s all. This sacred secret only is explained with too many words in elaborate way in this sutra.
 +
 +
[06:37]
 +
 +
Now I will get into the philosophical theories. The first truth… Patanjali is establishing some five theories in this sutra and coming to the conclusion and asking you to do samyama on the conclusion after explaining five theories. The first theory, please understand, I will explain step by step the whole theory.
 +
The first theory is: the joy you experience, the intellect which experiences the joy, pure consciousness and the stuff out of which joy is made - all four are independent things. First theory - please understand. The joy you experience. When I say joy I can… you can understand the joy, pain, fear, any experience you go through; the experience, and the intellect which experiences the experience, and the stuff out of which experience is made. These are very subtle truths. And the pure consciousness which is a witness, on which all these experiences are being played. All four are independent. Understand this is the first theory.
 +
 +
[08:44]
 +
 +
One more thing I wanted to tell you. When I utter these theories, if it clicks with you, accept it. If it doesn’t click, it’s ok don’t bother. You don’t need to remember this. You don’t need to force yourself to believe this. Because sometime a man will be able to click with the concept of soul - that you have a soul and that is the ultimate energy. But he may not be able to click with the concept of God. Somebody may be able to click with the concept of God but he may not be able to click with the concept of soul. But I wanted you to know the concept of God, concept of soul; all are truth. Only if you click with it, it can lead you to the highest truth. That concept itself is truth but it cannot lead you to the truth if you don’t click with it or if it doesn’t click with you. So if it clicks with you it will lead you to the truth.
 +
 +
[09:57]
 +
 +
See just like, how my word… I am uttering some word… I am telling you ‘let you live long, let you be blissful’. If you have some click with me, connection, that word will simply become reality in your life. The moment I say if you think ‘ehhh who are you to bless me, who asked you to bless, who knows your words will come true?’ Then naturally there is no relationship. The words are not going to work on you. It is the click, the connection, whether it is apta pramana or shastra pramana, only when you click it is going to become atma pramana. If not it is not going to be atma pramana. Please understand whether it is the words of the scriptures or words of the Master, will become experience of you only when you click with it, not otherwise! Not otherwise! So apta, atma, shastra, all three pramanas will become reality in your life only when you connect with it, not otherwise.
 +
 +
[11:30]
 +
 +
The first theory… I can give you one example. There are some people who experience all experiences always in the head, only in the face. If you look little deep and do samyama you will understand. There are some people who go through all their experiences only in the heart. There are some people who goes through all experiences in the stomach. There are some people for whom all experience is that feeling which you have in the thighs when you are sexually awakened. That is why Upanishad very clearly declares the man who experiences all experience in the face is brahmana.
 +
 +
[12:42]
 +
 +
There is a beautiful sutra, Upanishadic sutra brahmanasya mukham aaseet…........very beautifully the Upanishad declares. Understand, but this Upanishad is completely misinterpreted who wants to destroy our Vedic tradition, as this Upanishad promotes the community concept and telling the shudras are lower level beings. No! Understand this Upanishad does not say that if you are born for a shudra father you are a shudra. No!!! It only says if all your energy is always centered on the thighs you are shudra. You need to understand, they are not saying it is like a community. No! Understand, our Vedic tradition always categorized human beings based on their quality and unfortunately the similar quality people have started staying together and started forming their own groups because they need to have their life and their entertainment. All the people with different mental setup, each group, they started staying together. Then slowly it became a kind of a community and you can’t blame Vedic tradition for that.
 +
 +
[14:38]
 +
 +
Our Vedic tradition allowed… first they classified human beings based on the habits and attitudes. If you are experiencing all experiences in the face, your experiences are more sensitive, subtle. They are more breeze like. The simple things are enough to make you feel content. You don’t need a gross awakened feeling. I can’t describe more than this… which you experience between your thighs and in the thighs when you are grossly awakened. You know the experiences how they differ.
 +
I tell you, in Vedic tradition the community is clearly defined. If all your experiences, most of your experiences are face, in the intellect, you are closer to sattva; easy for you to have enlightenment. If all your experiences are based on the heart – vaishya. Please understand, even when you are doing business, while you are giving something, even if you are going to take something from them, when you are giving the heart vibrates with certain experience. So vaishya is supposed to be constantly giving - broad heart!! Vaishya will be successful if he can give more than what he receives or if he makes others believe he is giving more than what he is receiving. Next all experiences based on stomach - kshtriya. Kshtriya needs to have a strong stomach because he has to continuously stomach so many experiences. He need to have a strong guts. Continuously he needs to be stomaching different, different, different experiences; kshtriya who is based on the stomach.
 +
 +
[17:49]
 +
 +
And the fellow whose strongest experience in his life is only between thighs, he is the shudra, nothing can be done! The word shudra should be understood very clearly in Vedic tradition. It is not because you are born to somebody, NO! Your birth does not decide your community. Your mental setup and attitude decides community. How you think, act, live - that decides your community. If strongest experiences in your life is only in the thighs, you will never be able to separate you and the experience. Experience, intellect which experiences the experience, stuff out of which the experience is made and your consciousness; all four will be completely mixed. It cannot be separated at all; very difficult.
 +
 +
[19:22]
 +
 +
Second, in the stomach, if all your experiences are based on stomach, the experience and the intellect which experiences the experience can be separated but not the consciousness and stuff out of which experience is made. That is why kshtriya is always ready to give up his life for what he believes. You don’t need to curse a kshtriya. He is foolish enough to kill himself for the foolish concepts or intellectual conviction he has. All you need is just convince him he is invincible, and losing a war, failure, is much worse than death.
 +
 +
[20:34]
 +
 +
In the heart - the vaishya part; he can separate the experience and the stuff out of which experience is made, but not the intellect and the consciousness. That is why vaishya will always be stuff based - matter based. He will be ready to give up anything for his wealth. He will, if a thief comes, if a robber comes, if a burglar comes, he will die by being killed by the thief but he will not allow the thief to take the wealth. He will not let go the wealth; stuff based. He can’t separate the stuff.
 +
 +
[21:49]
 +
 +
A brahmana can separate the experience and the intellect which perceives the experience, and the stuff out of which experience is made, but not the pure consciousness. Only a man who can separate all the four - experience, intellect which perceives the experience, the stuff out of which experience is made and the pure consciousness on which the whole drama is being played. If you can separate all the four by samyama you will have enlightenment.
 +
It’s a very subtle concept. I am putting it on record. You will be able to practice this only if you have passed the pradipa samyama, means that mirror samyama which I said. 11 days if you continuously experience that you are mirroring everything, mirroring everything, mirroring everything, that samyama will prepare you for the next samyama of ananda gandha. Maybe ananda gandha samyama, if it can be done for five days, then after that if you enter into today’s samyama, what Patanjali is talking, for three days, I can assure you will have a strong satori experience, a very powerful. Understand 11 days the pradipa samyama, five days the ananda gandha samyama and three days this samyama, samyama on the pure consciousness separating all the four - experience, intellect which perceives the experience, stuff out of which experience is made and pure consciousness on which all this drama is happening. If you… actually your mind needs to be completely sensitive and highly aware.
 +
 +
[24:51]
 +
 +
Some of the bashyakaras, commentators, are saying even if a sound is created your ears should become red. You should become that sensitive. If a strong sound is created immediately your ears should become red. I can say the moment I walk into the room even with closed eyes you are able to feel the experience….. my presence, you are ready for this samyama; the today’s samyama. See even if the eyes are closed, your eyes are closed, if I walk into the room, if you just know in the body “Wow Swamiji is here” the Presence you have become sensitive for this samyama.
 +
 +
[25:52]
 +
 +
11 days of pradipa and 5 days of ananda gandha samyama will make you that sensitive that this samyama can directly work, it can help you. But without pradipa samyama and ananda gandha samyama, this samyama you will not be able to do. One more thing whenever I say this 11 days of pradipa samyama, I mean, whole day whenever you remember, try to do the samyama; that’s all. I am making it very clear. Whole day whenever you remember, feel you are mirroring; that’s it. In that way 11 days pradipa samyama, 3 days ananda gandha samyama. Sorry 5 days ananda gandha samyama, and 3 days this samyama - samyama on experience and the pure consciousness. You will have a strong satori. You will have glimpse of enlightenment.
 +
 +
[27:13]
 +
 +
It is a very powerful samyama. Maybe if some of you are committed to enlightenment as life’s first priority, you can practice this. Actually you will see whenever an experience happens how that stuff, chemical out of which experience is made; you will understand the chemistry of experience. That will lead you to the pure restful awareness which is enlightenment…… pure restful awareness which is enlightenment. I can’t even guide you into this samyama because there is no concentration on any spot. You just need to sit and contemplate on how experience happens in you, how your intellect perceives that experience, how the stuff out of which experience is made is experienced by you and the pure inner space on which all this drama is happening. You need to do samyama strongly. But this samyama directly leads to enlightenment.
 +
 +
[29:05]
 +
 +
I bless you all. Let you all achieve, experience, live, express, radiate and share the eternal bliss, Nithyananda.
 +
Thank you.

 +
Satva purushayoho adhyanta asankeernayo pratyaya avisesha bhoga paraarthaat swartha samyamaat purusha jnanam!
 +
Vivekananda: enjoyment comes through non-discrimination of soul and satva which are totally different. this enjoyment is for the sake of soul. There is another state….gives the knowledge of the purusha
 +
Prabhavananda: power of enjoyment arises from a failure to discriminate between the aatman and satva guna….only for its own sake. By making samyama on the independence of the aatman one gains knowledge of the aataman.
 +
Satchitananda: the intellect & the purusha are totally diff…..cause of all experience and by samyama on the distinction knowledge of the ..
 +
Osho:  the exp is the result of the inability to diff between satva and pure ….performing samyama on the self interest brings knowledge of the purusha separated from the knowledge of the others.

It is more deeper & philosophical. Patanjali comes to one of the peak samyama. He gives samyama for enlightenment. Each day he is giving different techniques for different powers, today he is giving samyama directly to achieve enlightenment. I will finish the whole sutra in just 2 lines. Understand, the whole essence, the sacred secret in this sutra is whenever you go through any intense experience like a joy, suffering or peace or silence or awareness, just turn your awareness, your consciousness to who is going through this experience. That’s all. Ramana Maharshi finishes this whole subject in just one line. Just look who is experiencing, that’s all. I will now get into the philosophical theories. Patanjali is establishing some 5 theories in this sutra and then coming to the conclusion. The 1st truth, theory is – the joy you experience, the intellect which experiences the joy, pure consciousness & the stuff out of which joy is made – all 4 are independent things. First theory – please understand – the joy you experience. When I say joy, you can understand the joy, pain, fear, any experience you go through. The experience and the intellect which experiences the experience and the stuff out of which experience is made – these are very subtlest truths and the pure consciousness which is a witness on which all these experiences are made – all 4 are independent. One more thing I want to tell you, when I utter these theories if it clicks with you, accept it. if it does not, then you don’t need to remember or force yourself to believe this. Sometime a man may click with concept of soul but not concept of God. Some time man may click with concept of God and not the concept of the soul. I wanted you to know the concept of God, concept of soul all are truths. Only if you click with it, it can lead you to highest source. The concept itself is truth but it cannot lead you to the truth if it does not click with you. like how I tell you let you live long, let you be blissful, if you have connection with me, those words will become true for you. but if you are not connected, the words are not going to work on you. it is the click – the connection. Whether it is aapta pramaana or shaastra pramaana only when it clicks in you, it is going to become atma pramaana. Whether it is experience from the scriptures or experience of your Guru, only when it clicks in you, it will become your experience. Not otherwise. So apta pramaana, atma pramaana, shaastra pramaana all 3 will become reality only when you connect with it. Not otherwise. This is the 1st theory. I can give you some examples. There are some people who experience all experiences always in the head, only in the face. If you look little deep and do little samyama you will understand. There are some people who go through all experiences in the heart, some in the stomach, some for whom all experiences the feeling which you have in the thighs when you are sexually awakened. That is why Upanishad clearly declares the man who experiences all experiences in the face is a Brahmana! But this Upanishad is completely mis-interpreted. This Upanishad does not say you are a shudra if you are born to a shudra. It says if all your experience is based on just the thighs you are a shudra. Our vedic tradition always categorized human beings based on their quality. Unfortunately, similar quality people have formed their own groups for their own living and entertainment. For example, if you are connected to me, then you cannot go to parties! Because what people in the party talks does not interest you. what you talk does not interest them. all people with different mental set up each group they started staying together. Then slowly it became a community. Vedic Tradition classified humans based on their habits and attitude. If you are experiencing all experiences in your face then you are subtle and simple things are enough to awaken you. You are sensitive. You don’t need a gross experience that can awaken your thighs! You know the experiences how they differ. In vedic tradition, the community is clearly defined – if most of your experiences are in the intellect you are closer to satva – easy for you to attain enlightenment. If all your experiences are based on heart – vysya – vysya may receive but even when you are doing business while you are giving something the heart vibrates a certain experience. So vysya is supposed to be constantly giving – broad heart. Vysya will be successful if he can give more than what he receives or if he makes others believe he is giving more than what he is receiving. Next all exp based on stomach – kshatriya. He need to have a strong stomach and strong guts because he needs to be stomaching different experiences continuously. The fellow whose strongest experience in his life is only between his thighs is Shudra – nothing can be done. The word Shudra needs to be understood very clearly. It is not that you are born to somebody. NO. your birth does not decide community. Your mental set up & attitude decides your community. How you think, act, live that decides your community. If strongest experiences in your life is only between the thighs, you will never be able to separate you & the thighs. Experience, intellect which experiences the experience, stuff out of which the experience is made & your consciousness all 4 will be completely mixed. It cannot be separated at all. Very difficult. 2nd if all your experiences are based on your stomach – the experience and the intellect which experiences the experience can be separated but not the consciousness and stuff out of which the experience is made. That is why kshatriya is always ready to give up his life for what he believes. You don’t need to curse a kshatriya. He is foolish enuf to kill himself for foolish concepts and intellectual convictions he has. Experience in the heart – the vysya part, he can separate the experience and the stuff out of which the experience is made but not the intellect & the consciousness. That is why Vysya will always be stuff based, matter based. He will be ready to give up anything for his wealth. If a robber or burglar comes, he will die by being killed by the thief, but he will not let go off the wealth. Stuff based. He cannot separate the stuff! A brahmana can separate the experience and the intellect which perceives the experience and the stuff out of which experience is made but not the pure consciousness. That is why always a brahmana suffers with high ego – high ego. Kshatriya will die for what he believes, Shudra will die for no reason – he will not have any reason for death – his life also has no reason, his death also has no reason. Kshatriya will die for what he believes, conviction the intellectual understanding, vysya will die for the stuff, Brahmana will die for the word – because it is such a ego centric. When I use word like Brahmana, kshatriya, shudra, vysya I mean not the community by birth that we are practicing in Indian now. NO. it is based on the attitude and life. This system is practically dead now. Only a  man who can separate all the 4 – experience, intellect which perceives the experience, the stuff out of which experience is made & the pure consciousness on which the whole drama is being played – if you can separate all the 4 by samyama, you will have enlightenment. It is a very subtle concept. I am putting it on record. You will be able to practice this only if you have practice this the prateebha samyama – the mirror samyama. 11 days if you continuously experience that you are mirroring everything that samyama will prepare you for the next ananda gandha samyama. If this ananda gandha samyama can be done for 5 days and then if you do today’s samyama for 3 days, I can assure you – you will have very strong satori. 11 days the…5 days…and 3 days this samyama – samyama on the pure consciousness separating all the 4 – experience, intellect which perceives the experience, stuff out of which experience is made & pure consciousness on which all this drama is happening. Actually your mind needs to be completely sensitive and highly aware. Some of the bhasyakaaras – commentators are saying even if a sound is created, your ears should become red – that high awareness you should have. I can say the moment I walk into the room, even with closed eyes you are able to feel my experience – my presence, you just know in the body – Swamiji is here the presence then you have become sensitive for this samyama. 11 days of prateebha & 5 days of ananda gandha samayama will make you that sensitive that this samyama will work for you directly. Without them, this will not work for you. when I say 11 days of prateebha samyama whole day whenever you remember try to do it, feel you are mirroring. that’s all.  5 days ananda gandha samyama and 3 days on this samyama. Samyama on experience & the pure consciousness. You will have a strong satori, you will have glimpse of enlightenment. Maybe if some of you are committed to enlightenment as life’s first priority you can practice this. actually you will understand the chemistry of experience how the stuff out of which all this made. That will lead you to pure restful awareness which is enlightenment. I cannot even guide you into this samyama because there is no concentration on any spot. You just need to sit & contemplate on how experience happens in you, how your intellect perceives that experience, how the stuff out of which experience is made is experienced by you and the pure inner space on which all this is happening. You need to do samyama strongly on this. but this samyama directly leads to enlightenment. Blessings!

Transcript:

Sadāshiva samārambām shankarācharya madhyamām Asmadācharya paryanthām vande guru paramparām

[00:50]

I welcome you all with My love and respects. Let’s enter into today’s subject. Today’s subject is ‘Enlightenment is beyond Bliss' 142nd sutra of Patanjalis Yoga Sutra, in the 3rd chapter 36th verse. Let Me enter into the sutra... Sattva-purusayaor atyantasamkirnayoh pratyayavisesho bhogah pararthat svartha-samyamat pursha-jnanam. A long sutra. Let me read it out once more. Sattva-purusayaor atyanta samkirnayoh pratyaya visesho bhogah pararthat svartha-samyamat pursha-jnanam.

[02:43]

Swami Vivekananda translates this sutra as ‘Enjoyment comes through the non discrimination of the soul and sattva which are totally different. This enjoyment is for the sake of the soul. There is another state of sattva called svartha - its own pure state. The practice of samyama on this state gives the knowledge of the purusha.’ Swami Prabhavananda translates as ‘The power of enjoyment arises from a failure to discriminate between the atman and sattva guna which are totally different. The sattva guna is merely an agent of the atman which is independent, existing only for its own sake. By making samyama on the independence of the atman, one gains knowledge of the atman.’ Swami Sachidananda translates as ‘The intellect and purusha are totally different. The intellect existing for the sake of purusha, while the purusha exists for its own sake. Not distinguishing this is the cause of all experience and by samyama on the distinction, knowledge of purusha is obtained.’ Bhagwan Osho translates as ‘The experience is the result of the inability to differentiate between purusha and pure consciousness and sattva - pure intelligence, although they are absolutely distinct. Performing samyama on the self interest brings knowledge of the purusha separated from the knowledge of the others.’

[04:41]

Let’s enter into the sutra, the sacred secret. It is more deeper and philosophical. Patanjali comes to the one of the peak samyama. He gives samyama for enlightenment. Please understand, each day he was giving a technique and technology for experiencing different powers, extraordinary powers. Today he is coming to the enlightenment. He is giving us samyama for… directly to achieve enlightenment. I'll finish the whole sutra in just two line. I'll reveal the sacred secret in this sutra then I will expand on every word. Understand, the whole essence, the sacred secret in this sutra is, whenever you go through any intense experience like a joy or suffering or peace or silence or awareness, just turn your awareness, your consciousness to who is going through this experience; that’s all. Ramana Maharishi finishes this whole thing, subject in one line - just look who is having the experience; that’s all. This sacred secret only is explained with too many words in elaborate way in this sutra.

[06:37]

Now I will get into the philosophical theories. The first truth… Patanjali is establishing some five theories in this sutra and coming to the conclusion and asking you to do samyama on the conclusion after explaining five theories. The first theory, please understand, I will explain step by step the whole theory. The first theory is: the joy you experience, the intellect which experiences the joy, pure consciousness and the stuff out of which joy is made - all four are independent things. First theory - please understand. The joy you experience. When I say joy I can… you can understand the joy, pain, fear, any experience you go through; the experience, and the intellect which experiences the experience, and the stuff out of which experience is made. These are very subtle truths. And the pure consciousness which is a witness, on which all these experiences are being played. All four are independent. Understand this is the first theory.

[08:44]

One more thing I wanted to tell you. When I utter these theories, if it clicks with you, accept it. If it doesn’t click, it’s ok don’t bother. You don’t need to remember this. You don’t need to force yourself to believe this. Because sometime a man will be able to click with the concept of soul - that you have a soul and that is the ultimate energy. But he may not be able to click with the concept of God. Somebody may be able to click with the concept of God but he may not be able to click with the concept of soul. But I wanted you to know the concept of God, concept of soul; all are truth. Only if you click with it, it can lead you to the highest truth. That concept itself is truth but it cannot lead you to the truth if you don’t click with it or if it doesn’t click with you. So if it clicks with you it will lead you to the truth.

[09:57]

See just like, how my word… I am uttering some word… I am telling you ‘let you live long, let you be blissful’. If you have some click with me, connection, that word will simply become reality in your life. The moment I say if you think ‘ehhh who are you to bless me, who asked you to bless, who knows your words will come true?’ Then naturally there is no relationship. The words are not going to work on you. It is the click, the connection, whether it is apta pramana or shastra pramana, only when you click it is going to become atma pramana. If not it is not going to be atma pramana. Please understand whether it is the words of the scriptures or words of the Master, will become experience of you only when you click with it, not otherwise! Not otherwise! So apta, atma, shastra, all three pramanas will become reality in your life only when you connect with it, not otherwise.

[11:30]

The first theory… I can give you one example. There are some people who experience all experiences always in the head, only in the face. If you look little deep and do samyama you will understand. There are some people who go through all their experiences only in the heart. There are some people who goes through all experiences in the stomach. There are some people for whom all experience is that feeling which you have in the thighs when you are sexually awakened. That is why Upanishad very clearly declares the man who experiences all experience in the face is brahmana.

[12:42]

There is a beautiful sutra, Upanishadic sutra brahmanasya mukham aaseet…........very beautifully the Upanishad declares. Understand, but this Upanishad is completely misinterpreted who wants to destroy our Vedic tradition, as this Upanishad promotes the community concept and telling the shudras are lower level beings. No! Understand this Upanishad does not say that if you are born for a shudra father you are a shudra. No!!! It only says if all your energy is always centered on the thighs you are shudra. You need to understand, they are not saying it is like a community. No! Understand, our Vedic tradition always categorized human beings based on their quality and unfortunately the similar quality people have started staying together and started forming their own groups because they need to have their life and their entertainment. All the people with different mental setup, each group, they started staying together. Then slowly it became a kind of a community and you can’t blame Vedic tradition for that.

[14:38]

Our Vedic tradition allowed… first they classified human beings based on the habits and attitudes. If you are experiencing all experiences in the face, your experiences are more sensitive, subtle. They are more breeze like. The simple things are enough to make you feel content. You don’t need a gross awakened feeling. I can’t describe more than this… which you experience between your thighs and in the thighs when you are grossly awakened. You know the experiences how they differ. I tell you, in Vedic tradition the community is clearly defined. If all your experiences, most of your experiences are face, in the intellect, you are closer to sattva; easy for you to have enlightenment. If all your experiences are based on the heart – vaishya. Please understand, even when you are doing business, while you are giving something, even if you are going to take something from them, when you are giving the heart vibrates with certain experience. So vaishya is supposed to be constantly giving - broad heart!! Vaishya will be successful if he can give more than what he receives or if he makes others believe he is giving more than what he is receiving. Next all experiences based on stomach - kshtriya. Kshtriya needs to have a strong stomach because he has to continuously stomach so many experiences. He need to have a strong guts. Continuously he needs to be stomaching different, different, different experiences; kshtriya who is based on the stomach.

[17:49]

And the fellow whose strongest experience in his life is only between thighs, he is the shudra, nothing can be done! The word shudra should be understood very clearly in Vedic tradition. It is not because you are born to somebody, NO! Your birth does not decide your community. Your mental setup and attitude decides community. How you think, act, live - that decides your community. If strongest experiences in your life is only in the thighs, you will never be able to separate you and the experience. Experience, intellect which experiences the experience, stuff out of which the experience is made and your consciousness; all four will be completely mixed. It cannot be separated at all; very difficult.

[19:22]

Second, in the stomach, if all your experiences are based on stomach, the experience and the intellect which experiences the experience can be separated but not the consciousness and stuff out of which experience is made. That is why kshtriya is always ready to give up his life for what he believes. You don’t need to curse a kshtriya. He is foolish enough to kill himself for the foolish concepts or intellectual conviction he has. All you need is just convince him he is invincible, and losing a war, failure, is much worse than death.

[20:34]

In the heart - the vaishya part; he can separate the experience and the stuff out of which experience is made, but not the intellect and the consciousness. That is why vaishya will always be stuff based - matter based. He will be ready to give up anything for his wealth. He will, if a thief comes, if a robber comes, if a burglar comes, he will die by being killed by the thief but he will not allow the thief to take the wealth. He will not let go the wealth; stuff based. He can’t separate the stuff.

[21:49]

A brahmana can separate the experience and the intellect which perceives the experience, and the stuff out of which experience is made, but not the pure consciousness. Only a man who can separate all the four - experience, intellect which perceives the experience, the stuff out of which experience is made and the pure consciousness on which the whole drama is being played. If you can separate all the four by samyama you will have enlightenment. It’s a very subtle concept. I am putting it on record. You will be able to practice this only if you have passed the pradipa samyama, means that mirror samyama which I said. 11 days if you continuously experience that you are mirroring everything, mirroring everything, mirroring everything, that samyama will prepare you for the next samyama of ananda gandha. Maybe ananda gandha samyama, if it can be done for five days, then after that if you enter into today’s samyama, what Patanjali is talking, for three days, I can assure you will have a strong satori experience, a very powerful. Understand 11 days the pradipa samyama, five days the ananda gandha samyama and three days this samyama, samyama on the pure consciousness separating all the four - experience, intellect which perceives the experience, stuff out of which experience is made and pure consciousness on which all this drama is happening. If you… actually your mind needs to be completely sensitive and highly aware.

[24:51]

Some of the bashyakaras, commentators, are saying even if a sound is created your ears should become red. You should become that sensitive. If a strong sound is created immediately your ears should become red. I can say the moment I walk into the room even with closed eyes you are able to feel the experience….. my presence, you are ready for this samyama; the today’s samyama. See even if the eyes are closed, your eyes are closed, if I walk into the room, if you just know in the body “Wow Swamiji is here” the Presence you have become sensitive for this samyama.

[25:52]

11 days of pradipa and 5 days of ananda gandha samyama will make you that sensitive that this samyama can directly work, it can help you. But without pradipa samyama and ananda gandha samyama, this samyama you will not be able to do. One more thing whenever I say this 11 days of pradipa samyama, I mean, whole day whenever you remember, try to do the samyama; that’s all. I am making it very clear. Whole day whenever you remember, feel you are mirroring; that’s it. In that way 11 days pradipa samyama, 3 days ananda gandha samyama. Sorry 5 days ananda gandha samyama, and 3 days this samyama - samyama on experience and the pure consciousness. You will have a strong satori. You will have glimpse of enlightenment.

[27:13]

It is a very powerful samyama. Maybe if some of you are committed to enlightenment as life’s first priority, you can practice this. Actually you will see whenever an experience happens how that stuff, chemical out of which experience is made; you will understand the chemistry of experience. That will lead you to the pure restful awareness which is enlightenment…… pure restful awareness which is enlightenment. I can’t even guide you into this samyama because there is no concentration on any spot. You just need to sit and contemplate on how experience happens in you, how your intellect perceives that experience, how the stuff out of which experience is made is experienced by you and the pure inner space on which all this drama is happening. You need to do samyama strongly. But this samyama directly leads to enlightenment.

[29:05]

I bless you all. Let you all achieve, experience, live, express, radiate and share the eternal bliss, Nithyananda. Thank you.

Transcription

Prayer. Welcome. Today is the 15th day of the fast – the Chandra samayama. You need to end it after amavaasya which is tomorrow. Break the fast tomorrow by drinking orange juice & rice. Today’s subject is Enlightenment is beyond bliss! 142nd Patanjali Yoga Sutras, 3rd chapter 36th verse Satva purushayoho adhyanta asankeernayo pratyaya avisesha bhoga paraarthaat swartha samyamaat purusha jnanam! Vivekananda: enjoyment comes through non-discrimination of soul and satva which are totally different. this enjoyment is for the sake of soul. There is another state….gives the knowledge of the purusha Prabhavananda: power of enjoyment arises from a failure to discriminate between the aatman and satva guna….only for its own sake. By making samyama on the independence of the aatman one gains knowledge of the aataman. Satchitananda: the intellect & the purusha are totally diff…..cause of all experience and by samyama on the distinction knowledge of the .. Osho: the exp is the result of the inability to diff between satva and pure ….performing samyama on the self interest brings knowledge of the purusha separated from the knowledge of the others. It is more deeper & philosophical. Patanjali comes to one of the peak samyama. He gives samyama for enlightenment. Each day he is giving different techniques for different powers, today he is giving samyama directly to achieve enlightenment. I will finish the whole sutra in just 2 lines. Understand, the whole essence, the sacred secret in this sutra is whenever you go through any intense experience like a joy, suffering or peace or silence or awareness, just turn your awareness, your consciousness to who is going through this experience. That’s all. Ramana Maharshi finishes this whole subject in just one line. Just look who is experiencing, that’s all. I will now get into the philosophical theories. Patanjali is establishing some 5 theories in this sutra and then coming to the conclusion. The 1st truth, theory is – the joy you experience, the intellect which experiences the joy, pure consciousness & the stuff out of which joy is made – all 4 are independent things. First theory – please understand – the joy you experience. When I say joy, you can understand the joy, pain, fear, any experience you go through. The experience and the intellect which experiences the experience and the stuff out of which experience is made – these are very subtlest truths and the pure consciousness which is a witness on which all these experiences are made – all 4 are independent. One more thing I want to tell you, when I utter these theories if it clicks with you, accept it. if it does not, then you don’t need to remember or force yourself to believe this. Sometime a man may click with concept of soul but not concept of God. Some time man may click with concept of God and not the concept of the soul. I wanted you to know the concept of God, concept of soul all are truths. Only if you click with it, it can lead you to highest source. The concept itself is truth but it cannot lead you to the truth if it does not click with you. like how I tell you let you live long, let you be blissful, if you have connection with me, those words will become true for you. but if you are not connected, the words are not going to work on you. it is the click – the connection. Whether it is aapta pramaana or shaastra pramaana only when it clicks in you, it is going to become atma pramaana. Whether it is experience from the scriptures or experience of your Guru, only when it clicks in you, it will become your experience. Not otherwise. So apta pramaana, atma pramaana, shaastra pramaana all 3 will become reality only when you connect with it. Not otherwise. This is the 1st theory. I can give you some examples. There are some people who experience all experiences always in the head, only in the face. If you look little deep and do little samyama you will understand. There are some people who go through all experiences in the heart, some in the stomach, some for whom all experiences the feeling which you have in the thighs when you are sexually awakened. That is why Upanishad clearly declares the man who experiences all experiences in the face is a Brahmana! But this Upanishad is completely mis-interpreted. This Upanishad does not say you are a shudra if you are born to a shudra. It says if all your experience is based on just the thighs you are a shudra. Our vedic tradition always categorized human beings based on their quality. Unfortunately, similar quality people have formed their own groups for their own living and entertainment. For example, if you are connected to me, then you cannot go to parties! Because what people in the party talks does not interest you. what you talk does not interest them. all people with different mental set up each group they started staying together. Then slowly it became a community. Vedic Tradition classified humans based on their habits and attitude. If you are experiencing all experiences in your face then you are subtle and simple things are enough to awaken you. You are sensitive. You don’t need a gross experience that can awaken your thighs! You know the experiences how they differ. In vedic tradition, the community is clearly defined – if most of your experiences are in the intellect you are closer to satva – easy for you to attain enlightenment. If all your experiences are based on heart – vysya – vysya may receive but even when you are doing business while you are giving something the heart vibrates a certain experience. So vysya is supposed to be constantly giving – broad heart. Vysya will be successful if he can give more than what he receives or if he makes others believe he is giving more than what he is receiving. Next all exp based on stomach – kshatriya. He need to have a strong stomach and strong guts because he needs to be stomaching different experiences continuously. The fellow whose strongest experience in his life is only between his thighs is Shudra – nothing can be done. The word Shudra needs to be understood very clearly. It is not that you are born to somebody. NO. your birth does not decide community. Your mental set up & attitude decides your community. How you think, act, live that decides your community. If strongest experiences in your life is only between the thighs, you will never be able to separate you & the thighs. Experience, intellect which experiences the experience, stuff out of which the experience is made & your consciousness all 4 will be completely mixed. It cannot be separated at all. Very difficult. 2nd if all your experiences are based on your stomach – the experience and the intellect which experiences the experience can be separated but not the consciousness and stuff out of which the experience is made. That is why kshatriya is always ready to give up his life for what he believes. You don’t need to curse a kshatriya. He is foolish enuf to kill himself for foolish concepts and intellectual convictions he has. Experience in the heart – the vysya part, he can separate the experience and the stuff out of which the experience is made but not the intellect & the consciousness. That is why Vysya will always be stuff based, matter based. He will be ready to give up anything for his wealth. If a robber or burglar comes, he will die by being killed by the thief, but he will not let go off the wealth. Stuff based. He cannot separate the stuff! A brahmana can separate the experience and the intellect which perceives the experience and the stuff out of which experience is made but not the pure consciousness. That is why always a brahmana suffers with high ego – high ego. Kshatriya will die for what he believes, Shudra will die for no reason – he will not have any reason for death – his life also has no reason, his death also has no reason. Kshatriya will die for what he believes, conviction the intellectual understanding, vysya will die for the stuff, Brahmana will die for the word – because it is such a ego centric. When I use word like Brahmana, kshatriya, shudra, vysya I mean not the community by birth that we are practicing in Indian now. NO. it is based on the attitude and life. This system is practically dead now. Only a man who can separate all the 4 – experience, intellect which perceives the experience, the stuff out of which experience is made & the pure consciousness on which the whole drama is being played – if you can separate all the 4 by samyama, you will have enlightenment. It is a very subtle concept. I am putting it on record. You will be able to practice this only if you have practice this the prateebha samyama – the mirror samyama. 11 days if you continuously experience that you are mirroring everything that samyama will prepare you for the next ananda gandha samyama. If this ananda gandha samyama can be done for 5 days and then if you do today’s samyama for 3 days, I can assure you – you will have very strong satori. 11 days the…5 days…and 3 days this samyama – samyama on the pure consciousness separating all the 4 – experience, intellect which perceives the experience, stuff out of which experience is made & pure consciousness on which all this drama is happening. Actually your mind needs to be completely sensitive and highly aware. Some of the bhasyakaaras – commentators are saying even if a sound is created, your ears should become red – that high awareness you should have. I can say the moment I walk into the room, even with closed eyes you are able to feel my experience – my presence, you just know in the body – Swamiji is here the presence then you have become sensitive for this samyama. 11 days of prateebha & 5 days of ananda gandha samayama will make you that sensitive that this samyama will work for you directly. Without them, this will not work for you. when I say 11 days of prateebha samyama whole day whenever you remember try to do it, feel you are mirroring. that’s all. 5 days ananda gandha samyama and 3 days on this samyama. Samyama on experience & the pure consciousness. You will have a strong satori, you will have glimpse of enlightenment. Maybe if some of you are committed to enlightenment as life’s first priority you can practice this. actually you will understand the chemistry of experience how the stuff out of which all this made. That will lead you to pure restful awareness which is enlightenment. I cannot even guide you into this samyama because there is no concentration on any spot. You just need to sit & contemplate on how experience happens in you, how your intellect perceives that experience, how the stuff out of which experience is made is experienced by you and the pure inner space on which all this is happening. You need to do samyama strongly on this. but this samyama directly leads to enlightenment. Blessings!
