Transcript

Tuesday, December 07, 2010 Prayer. Welcome. Bring light to your darkness. Once you bring light your darkness cannot be there. Maybe I can change the subject to Bring light where your darkness existed. Whenever you bring intelligence, whenever you bring light darkness has to disappear, ignorance has to disappear. Patanjali throws light on this today. He is actually the junction point where the siddha and the vedantic tradition both becomes alive. Patanjali is a Siddha from Tamilnadu. His disciple is Gaudapada, whose disciple is and whose disciple is Shankara. So whole vedic tradtion traces back to Patanjali. He is one of the greatest incarnation of planet earth. He is the religion with largest followers of him. 25% of America does and follows Yoga – practicing religion. Understand religion is useful to you only when you discovered it. Which you discovered that religion only will be life for you. How many people discover religion start living it in a practicing way. Patanjali is a founder of a tradition which is discovered by largest number of people in the modern day today. This is the largest practicing relation – Yoga. Soon you will see humanity will evolve to a level by the time you are 18, you will be asked which religion would you like to follow. Based on your mental attitude and aptitude set up you can pick up. I feel within next 5-6 years humanity will evolve to a level where you are given an option of what country you want to live, which culture you want to live and which gender you want to pick up. Gender change will be rampantly available. That is why I am telling please be prepared with choiceless awareness so that when so many choices are given to you, you will not be under depression. With choiceless awareness all choices are luxury. Without this all choices lead you to depression, dilemma, confusion. There is a beautiful story I was reading – one guy wanted to play fun with his donkey. He piled heap of grass both side equal distance. Donkey was really hungry. He told donkey come on both side grass is there, eat. Donkey as usual put one step to one side then he thought why not go to the other side. Then he started going to the other side. Then to the other side. Like this he was going back and forth towards right, left, right, left…then he thought oh God! I think left and right are equally far. I don’t think I can go anywhere. And he dropped. Without choiceless awareness all choices are punishment. 2012 there is not going to be any tsunami, earth calamity. But planet earth will be invaded by consumeristic mental set up. Millions of choices! Be preopared for that attack with choiceless awareness. Otherwise depression will be way of life. There is no natural calamity or X planet. NO. don’t worry. Nothing is there. But the life style change. The whole economy and life is going to be in the hands of the people who will exploit it left and right. Your body is income source for doctors, your mind – entertainment industry All of them will eat your emotions, intellect, your very breathing. Be prepared to save yourself. There is going to be huge choices. By the age of 18 you will become a clear graphic photo. How you want to look. Please choose. In couple of years we will finish some 120 surgeries and do that to you. There are going to be huge choices and if you don’t have choiceless awareness how will you handle it. People feel bored being male and female for more than 10 years! There will be option of physical divorce. You will want to change your own body every few years! Knowledge of your praarabdha what for you landed is not luxury anymore. It is basic survival! Earlier you could be living without that. Now you cannot. It is survival need. Patanjali creator of world’s most practiced religion – a powerful spiritual tradition. Let us enter into his sutra – 76th sutra, in Chapter 2, 25th verse – Tat Abhaavaat Sanyoga Bhavo haanam tat drushet kaivalyam Vivek – there being absence of ignorance there is absence of junction Prabhavananda – when ignorance has been destroyed this identification ceases then bondage is at an end and the experiencer is independent and free Without this ignorance no such universe exists. This is independent of the seer. Ignorance means not taking any of your logic to its logical conclusion. If you do this, it will rest in restful awareness. Not taking any of your logic to logical conclusion is ignorance. And acting based on the ignorance is misery! Now , when this ignorance is dropped, means whenever you feel your logic has not reached its logical conclusion not only don’t make any decisions based on that ½ conclusive ideas, drop the very inconclusiveness. Create a space where you don’t make any of your strategies based on this illogical imperfect idiotic ignorant understandings or misunderstandings! The words I utter may look like a broad theory. It is not. Every single problem you have can be just picked up and applied to this theory and it will deliver solution now. What I am talking is not pure science. It is applied science. Technology. Please understand, any problem you have just pick up and apply in this technology. See are you able to take it to its logical conclusion. If it leads you to the restful awareness, you have taken it. If not, then don’t make any decision, strategy planning based on the inconclusive aborted thoughts. You will see 1000s Freedom is freedom to choose anything you want in future and freedom to be in choicelessness when something is forced on you in future. Freedom is freedom for future and freedom from future. At some point because of your decisions which you made earlier, you many not have flexibility in future at that time freedom from freedom. That’s all is freedom! Just flowing with it. Freedom is not a vertical stick, straight line it is a flowing river! When you look from the flight straight roads are not freedom. NO. then you are in freedom as described by somebody else. If you are flowing like a river you are in freedom. So when you have freedom for future enjoy that. Freedom from future enjoy that. Freedom from freedom enjoy that. Jeevanmukti is flowing like a river. Not going in a straight line. Not having ignorance for making any strategy in your life is basic understanding. Basic intelligent understanding you need to have. Just you will flow with the life! Tremendious achievements, possibility, fulfillment, sharing all this happens when ignorance is not the basic strategy planning for you. The confusion of matter and consciousness never happens inside you. You are there. You will handle each field’s problems with intelligence. You will not be confused with spiritual, leaga, moral,etc. I tell you having clarity of legal problems as legal, social as social, economical as economical …is energy. Energy brings intelligence. Intelligence brings energy. It is like a virtuous cycle. If you are more energetic you become more intelligent and vice versa. In this verse, patanjali says ehen the ignorance disappears the union of matter and consciousness – chit jata – purusha prakruthi – brahma maya – matter & consciousness does not happen. And just you know you are pure. And when there is no union, there is no matter. Matter also is energy. You drown yourself in the space of unified field – advaita anubhooti, advaita saamraja – a space where oneness is a living reality not just words. Take any thought to its logical conclusion. Till then don’t believe. Suddenly you will see the very idea that you are body will be questioned by you. So the whole thing will be tumbled down. You will fall into the space of unified field. Then, not only success and peace in the inner world will happen in you. So understand I have a story for you – A new client had just to come to see a famous lawyer – can you tell me how much you charge? Said the client. Of course said the lawyer. I charge 200$ for 3 questions. That is steep. Is it not? Client asked. Yes it is. Now what is your 3rd question? The lawyer asked ☺ Be very clear in this case how much money you have, how much you need to talk to him, will your case come to a logical conclusion with him, come to a clear basic understand. Even if you fail by making your strategy based on knowledge. But never make a strategy in the beginning with the inconclusive logic – the conclusive restful awareness, anything happens after that you will have intelligence to stand up. You can stand up. Maybe stirred but not shaken! If you go on making decisions based on your logical decisions, maybe somebody can stir you, but nobody can shake you. So I tell you avoid ignorance naturally there will not be confused between matter & consciousness. You will be in the pure inner space. Blessings!
