Title:

Surrender into Samadhi (Patanjali Yoga Sutras 96) - Nithyananda Morning Satsang 11 Jan 2011

Description:

In this video, living enlightened master and avatar Paramahamsa Nithyananda explains the different words in this sutra - samadhi, siddhi, and Ishwara. He defines Samadhi as a part of active spiritualism and says samadhi as getting back to one's original leadership quality. Samadhi is more than just altered states of consciousness. He defines siddhi as the ripening of you in you. When the ripening happens samadhi also happens. He then explains Ishwara as the ultimate experience happening in the place you can relate to. He elaborates this by giving taking examples which we relate to like mind, identity, physical body, etc.

He says he does not want to translate Ishwara as god as the word god has been spoiled too much.

If you spend more time in the mind, then listening and imbibing the truths is Ishwara.

If you spend more time in the body, then devotion is the god for you.

If you spend time in just being, the guru is the god for you.

Now surrender does not mean becoming a slave. Rising to that frequency, falling in tune or feeling connection is the translation. When you fall in tune, you attract that vibration in your life.

pranitanat is active surrendering

Fall in tune with your ishwara, that will lead you to being the leader which is the original state of your consciousness and existence.
