Title:

Ashtanga Yoga: Be in Yama Niyama: Patanjali Yoga Sutras 84 - Nithyananda Morning Satsang 16 Dec 2010

Description:

"Vitarka, the Ultimate Reasoning". Today Paramahamsa Nithyananda, rare avatar and enlightened master discussed Patanjali's Yoga Sutra 84th, chapter 2, 33 verse: "Vitarka badhane pratipaksa bhavanam - When thoughts obstructing to yoga arise, contrary thoughts should be employed." Swamiji explained the essence of this sutra as "whenever body and mind are not interested in following the Yama and niyama, create 'vitarka' -- the strong feeling connection by creating the right, opposite thoughts in you and aligning yourself to the strong will."

Swamiji uses 'Vitarka' to describe the logic that takes you beyond logic, the right logic, leading you to the ultimate experience of feeling connection. Patanjali gives us a simple, power technique: to make yama and niyama possible in your life. Whenever yama or niyama is taken as rules and regulations, your mind always deviates and does not want to do and you want to resist it. The whole mind starts doing project planning, strategy planning. He elaborated with a solution, "Mind always plays. Yama means not just the law but also the power of executing the law. So, don't be just below the laws. Be the power that executes the law. The mind plays so understand yama (law and power of executing law). Same way, Niyama is not rules. It is raising your life to the highest coherence. " The universe is an independent intelligence. Either you go on questioning, fight and die or you see the grandeur of the universe by becoming an insider.

When you keep the internal and external purity, you will raise your family to the highest coherence. If you have the ability to accept and bear the suffering, without causing pain, you will raise the community to the highest coherence, that is Tapas. He sees all over the world, millions of disciples doing this, and raising the world to highest coherence. Strength, Swadhayaya: reading, understanding, and raising your intellectual ability to grasp the truth, to be in the highest possibility. That's what he is doing every morning through the morning Satsang.

Finally, "Ishwara Pranidaanani". Bringing the whole cosmos to the highest coherence. Surrendering and relaxing into the Cosmos. Then the whole cosmic consciousness rises. Swamiji declared that "I am creating shastradhaaris, Shastra shastrdharis -- who are having knowledge weapons. Who embody themselves in the great spiritual understanding constantly raising the spiritual understanding, I am helping the whole civilization to its highest possible coherence."

Sharing a powerful technique for ones on the spiritual path, "Whenever kutarka comes, bring vitarka back. When the mind says don't get up, sleep, stop it and get up. This is how millions waste away and miss their spiritual path. Must stop the negative, destructive thoughts and replace with positive." The satsang ended with the ultimate teaching to meditate on one truth, "Put all your energy to align yourself to yama (law) and niyama (highest coherence). Create 'Vitarka' to yama and niyama by strong will (pratipaksa bhavana). Don't waste your life in unawareness and not practicing. Establish yourself in ultimate Vitarka."

Transctiripon

December 16, 2010 Prayer. Welcome. Today’s subject is Vitarka The Ultimate Reasoning! 84th sutra in Patanjali Sutras – in Chapter 2nd chapter 33rd verse - Vitarka vaadane pratipaksha bhavanam Vivkekananda – when thoughts obstructive to yoga arise contrary thoughts should be employed Prabhavaananda – to be free from thoughts that distract one from yoga, thoughts of opposite kind must be used Satchitananda - When disturbing thoughts are there, opposite thoughts should be thought of Here the word Vitarka must be understood in a different way. I use that word more for logic which leads you to beyond logic, the right logic, the feeling connection the ultimate experience. Patanjali is giving us a very simple but powerful technique to make Iyama and niyama possible in your life. Please understand, whenever iyama or niyama is taken as rules and regulations, your mind always deviates and does not want to do. It is easy to drive from Bangalore to the ashram. But it becomes very difficult to come from within the Ashram to this hall for the puja! Because the moment it becomes a rule, law of life you want to resist. The whole mind starts doing project planning, strategy planning it develops all kind of reasons. Mind always plays. Iyama means not just the law but also the power of executing the law. So don’t be just below the lays. Be the power that executes the law. In the whole world there are only 2 way – people again & again ask me – Swamiji why this universe, why all these problems? I tell them you have 2 options - 1. Go on questioning, fight and die or 2. See the grandeur of the universe by becoming an insider. This atheists go on promoting that the universe does not have an independent intelligence. I you are only preaching atheism and do not believe it – there are few intelligent people who preach and don’t believe. They are saved. Universe is independently intelligent. Your logic and questioning is not going to disturb it. You either go on questioning, or become an insider and see the whole thing. the logic which cannot grasp the independent intelligence of the cosmos is the source of atheism. Become Yama dharma so that you no need to go by the yamas – the laws. Same way niyama Is not rules. It is raising your life to highest coherence. As I was telling yesterday’s sutra – shoucha, tapaha, swaadyaaya, ishwara pranidani! ? (repeats the meaning of yesterday’s verse) Niyama is not just rules, but raising your life to highest coherence – soucha santhosha tapa swadhyaya ishwara pranidhanani – when you keep internal & external purity – you will rise to Higher Consciousness Santhosha – with this the whole family will raise to Higher Consciousness Have tapas – ability to accept and bear the pain and not causing it. Only through tapas you will have the ability to raise the whole community to the higher coherence. Strength – swaadyaaya means reading, understanding and raising your intellectual c apability to grasp the truth, to be in the highest possible civilization. Again and again giving these great understandings is swaadyaaya. I am creating shastradhaaris, shaastra shastrdharis – who are having knowledge weapons. Who emobody themslef in the great spiritual understanding constantly raising the spiritual understanding, I am helping the whole civilization to its highest possible coherence. Finally, Ishwara pranidaanaani – bringing the whole cosmos to the highest coherence. Iyama and niyama are the source from where you consciousness goes to higher consciousness Whenever you body and mind is not interested in following the iyama and niyama you will create the right thoughts in you. Here he is saying pratipaksha bhaavana whichis strong will. If your mind is slipping from brahmacharya, tell yourself No, this is my life. Creating opposite thoughts and aligning yourself to Yama and Niyama. Needs to be practiced in initial level again and again and again. Whenever Kutarka comes, Pratipaksha bhavanam – basic imp truth – raising yourself to right understanding by right logic must be done by you. Again & again raising yourself whenever kudarka comes, bring vitarka Just meditate on this one truth - put all your energy to align yourself to iyama and niyama.. create vitarka to iyama and Niyama.. don’t waste your life in unawareness and not practicing. Especially, when you take master for granted.. No, Iyama and Niyama is life – life breath.. that is why patanjali says, create vitarka by pratipaksha bhavana.. establish yourself in ultimate vitarka. Just take this one message and digest it.
