Title:

patanjanli yoga sutra - Awaken your secret powers

transcription

Prayer. Welcome. Q: how can I keep contentment at work. I work in the medical profession. It is a tough place to be. The abc of medical profession is accuse, blame, criticize. How can I be content at work? How can I put up a strike board especially when a baby is on its way? I know so much is happening. But nothing can be done unless you create a chaos in your bio memory once in a while, put pressure on it that you have to get back to contentment, nothing can be achieved. When you say abc medical profession is accuse, blame, criticize then you are in the right spot to practice this. You are in severe peer pressure. When the survival threat comes, you will naturally get back to be in content. People who got into some worst accidents like falling from a trekking, air craft, etc. there experiences are dramatically re created and shown. When you see them, they have so much of gratitude for the air they breathe, little water they drink. Because they are in a position experientially what they was almost being taken away and given back to them. After seeing that show listening or learning from some of their experiences, I tell you, chaos teaches you how to be content. Especially the chaos which comes from survival threat really teaches you how to be content. The main theme of all the chaos has to be how to be content despite chaos happening inside you, outside you, inside you because of you, inside you inspite of you, outside you because of you, outside you inspite of you. Have this and your bio-memory will be able to catch the truth. Q: how does one practice detachment to the body and make our body aligned to the cosmos? Is there a technique or is this supposed to be visualized? This is the technique – when you are seeing, remember YOU are seeing through the eyes, eyes are not seeing. YOU which is something away from the eyes are seeing. When you are hearing, ears are not hearing, you something diff from the ears is hearing, nose – smelling, touching – skin not touching, you something different from the skin is touching through the skin. This only one thing remember in all actions, you will get solidified with that something other than the body. Intense spiritual exp that you are beyond the body will happen in you and aligning with the cosmos will happen in you. Q: when I meditate after one hour, I would like to lie down. Not sleep, just lie down but do nothing. In 30 minutes I fall asleep without dreams. I don’t like to be in company of others, I do only things needed as necessary. How can I be more aware? What does it mean to be awake aware in sleep. How are you able to do it longer periods of time? You are in the space of asmita – peace. But you need to move to the state of bliss – a causeless excitement. When you lie down after your meditation for resting one hour. Decide to put your awareness either on the 3rd eye or your breathing. Then that 1 hour sleeping also will not be unconscious. You don’t need put your will or force. Just like how you enjoy a rose garden, valley or forest in a relaxed way put your awareness on your 3rd eye without any stress. That will put you into conscious awake aware, conscious sleeping state. Today’s subject is awaken your hidden secret powers! There are so many secret powers in you which is kept as secret even from you. Yesterday we were having intense meditation process to Ashramites to teach intense levitation experience. I made people who did not experience levitation sit among people who have experienced it already. It means what, people who did not levitate had the power in them to levitate. But it was kept as a secret in them and they did not know about it. There are many secret powers inside you – anima, lahima, mahima, karima, ishitvam, vashitvam, praapthi – these are the different siddhis. Biggest problem is you yourself are afraid of those siddhis. So slowly you keep those siddhis as a secret from yourself. You hide them from yourself. Otherwise your bio memory is basically intelligent. The other day I was reading some of the verses from siddha tradition.t here is a huge granite temple made in Thanjavur by a great king and Sidhha Karuvur. He and his predecessors were responsible for that temple. It was a monumental work. He was supported by Raja Raja. 217 feet granite monument. One of the oldest tallest structure built in granite in the world. and it is not a pyramid. No. such a deep art work. Not a single inch goes uncarved. There is no geometrical carving. Geometrical carving is easy. It does not need a person’s co-operation. It does not need intelligence, art of creativity. But this temple is an amazing piece of art. Every inch is carved as an art piece. So you can’t build it with slaves but only with artists. You can never enslave an artist. He has his own independence and freedom. You can’t force him to do beautiful things by enslaving. NO. it is an art piece. I was reading. Not only carving, I was wondering how they assembled the whole thing. it took just 5 years. It is impossible to put one on the other top without any machines, tools. I realized in their song they have given very clear techniques how they teach human beings bio memory the extraordinary powers to lift extraordinary weight. Each human being has a hidden secret power to lift extraordinary weight. So if Kundalini is awakened and the human being is made to lift, they can lift extraordinary weight. So many secret powers are hidden in your own bio memory. Understand, the secret powers hidden in your bio memory should become part of your life and you should have intelligence in your bio memory to handle them. 94th sutra, 2nd chapter 43rd verse – Kayendriya siddhi ashuddhi sreyaat tapasaha Vivekananda: the mortification of the organs and the body through the destruction of their impurities brings powers to them Prabhavananda: As a result of mortification, impurities are removed and special powers come to the body Satchitananda: By austerities impurities of body senses are destroyed and occult powers gained The technical term in this sutra is tapasaha. That is where I differ from traditional orthodox translations which say the meaning of the word tapas is mortification. I want to translate this word tapasaha

As the practices through which your bio memory falls in tune with all knowing, all powerful, all intelligent, all compassionate atman. 

Basically the stuff which inside your bio memory and responsible for your bio memory to be alive is basically satchitananda – all knowing, all powerful and always blissful. Because of all this 3 always compassionate, overflowing. Basically the stuff which is responsible for your bio memory to be alive and active is satchitananda. But your bio memory is not aware of its own sweet truth – satchitananda. So any practice that makes your bio memory understand its innate nature of all knowing, all powerful, all blissful is tapasaha. Sometime just a very joyful action of eating some sweet can be tapas for you. tapas is not always painful, mortification or austerity. Just because sometimes it is austerity, it is not always austerity. Tapas sometimes is a very joyful happy doing which you always wanted to do. Especially the tapas described in the Shiva Sutras, in some of the Hata Yoga, it is so joyful ecstatic. It is not mortification or pain at all – like yesterday’s sutra – contentment is ultimate joy. To gain contentment you are not going to poke your body with a spear or fast or kill yourself. NO. it is not like Ravana cutting his own head and putting into the yaaga. NO. Sometime austerity need to be practiced, but the word tapasaha should not be translated as austerity or mortification. The word tapasaha is the methods & techniques through which your bio memory is empowered to look into its innate nature and experience the all knowing, all powerful, all compassion and all blissful expression of itself. For example, whenever you fall asleep remember I am tired of running around and projecting the scenes, I want to return to the center. Then your whole sleeping time is tapas. You are not doing any mortification here. But you are killing the wrong idea. From my experience the word tapas I will describe as mortification of the wrong ideas. When you fall asleep just remember this one truth – oh I think my bio memory is tired of seeing all useless scenes, it wants to get back to its original state where peace exists, let me return – then your sleeping is tapas. You don’t need to do anything else Like Krishna says in the Bhagvat Gita “sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam vraja”

He says drop everything and surrender to me. It is not mortification. It is just pleasant sweet relaxed technique for falling in tune. Tapasaha is not always mortification. Tapasaha is not always austerity. I wanted to translate the word tapasaha as the techniques, ideas which makes your bio memory in tune with the all knowing, all powerful, all compassionate experience of consciousness!

Kaalendriya siddhi ashuddi shreyaat tapasaha The esoteric extraordinary powers are achieved by tapas. That is why I say, see yesterday so many people at least handful of people picked up levitation without any tapas just by sitting in the group who are already in tapas. How? Their bio memory falls in coherence in other bio memories. So in a way I can say living in the sangha it self is tapas. Because here I am making many biomemories fall into the highest possible conscious coherence. So when you live among them, naturally the dignity and grace they express in their body language, in their bio memory, in their joy will rub off on you. over past few months the coherence of the whole groups consciousness has intensely increased. I am seeing the under current of the sweetness is raising within themselves, with others and with everybody. The highest possible coherence has started happening. Actually the sangha is requied for that only. I am really happy. In 2009, I am more or less like a place where satsang happens. 2010, I could see we evolving as a monastery where a systematic transmission of intellect and intelligence happening. Now 2011 I can see very clearly we have entered the zone of mystery school where the energy experience is happening and getting transmitted. Where I could see just by the presence being inside people are catching the energy experience. Different extraordinary powers like Patanjali explains kaayendriya siddhihi – the body and sense organs are getting ripe. The word siddhi I don’t want to translate as extraord powers, but I want to translate it as ‘getting ripe.’ If your eyes are ripe you can see anything. When your eyes are ripe, you can see extraordinary things. When you make your senses ripe, you live with it joyfully. This levitation is nothing but the method of ripening your senses. I could see the people who sit everyday for the levitation and samaana experience – first thing happened is drastic healing – long term sickness disappearing including gynic problems, years of stomach problem. When your body is ripe the kaayendriya siddhi. Siddhi is ripening of sense organs the side effect of which extraordinary powers happen. When your skin ripens, you will have extraordinary powers express through you like the anima, mahima, lahima, karima – making yourself big, or small all this happens when your senses ripen. Even Ramakrishna translates ripen as boiling of your senses, cooking your senses. How to do this? By awareness. It is the heat with which you can boil and cook your senses. When your senses are ripe, automatically the extraordinary powers happen in you. Whoever got healed of the disease by the levitation process, samaana process will be a powerful healer. Touch any bio memory with the disease you had, simply the bio memory will catch it and you will able to heal just like that. Healing yourself of a disease is one thing, the side effect is the power of you being able to heal other bio memories with same disease. So you become a specialist in healing particular diseases. When it ripens not only it heals itself as a side effect it gets many other powers. How to know what kind of siddhi will come and what part of the body is ripened. Patanjali explains that as a huge chapter – how to infuse awareness in every part of the body, ripen that part of the body and how the extraordinary siddhis express what kind of siddhis express for each part Patanjali talks about this as a separate chapter – Vibhooti padam. When I talk about that chapter I will explain different kinds of tapas for different siddhis. Here understand this sutra – Kayendriya siddhi ashuddhi sreyaat tapasaha When the body and sense organs are ripened by the tapas the purification process all the impurities are eliminated from the body and sense organs and bio memory and extraordinary powers express because of the ripening of the body and bio memory. Literally the master’s presence is everyday cooking all of you intensely. Intense cooking is happening! That is why I say do not miss a single chance of allowing the eN effect on you. Allow the eN effect intensely on you in whatever possible way. When your senses are ripened, not only the extraordinary powers are expressed, the tremendous transformation expresses through you. the character you show is a tremendous amazing divine spiritual leela. The grace you radiate. The joy with which you handle life. Even the abuse done to you, the grace with which you walk out of it will be unimaginable. So the eNeffect is the powerful experience through which tapasaha and siddhi means boiling and ripening of your body & senses happens. apart from that the tremendous powerful character you express happens through the sense organs. Blessings!
