IAT SE - Ch 29.1 There Is No Yogabhrashtha

Listen to Ektaji guide us through a self-exploration meditation, “There is no Yogabhrashtha” from Chapter 29 of Nisargadatta Maharaj's book I Am That. Witness effortlessly, free from self-concern, as images rise and fall in the flow of Consciousness. Do not be disturbed by imagination, for dispassion is your nature. In Yoga, there is no Yogabhrashtha, no failure; untruth never wins.

The journey may be delayed but never deny realization. Like a seed ripening in Silence, truth suddenly flowers in direct seeing. Simply be, and dive deeper into samadhi, where Silence reveals the ever-present Self.

Let's do a samadhi sitting with the aid of a self-enquiry on there is no yoga-bhrastha or there is no failure in yoga.

Let the eyes of the waker close.

Simply be the witness.

Witnessing is effortless.

When there is effort,

That is not the witness.

That is the false doer.

Simply be.

Simply be.

Be without self-concern.

Know your true dispassionate beingness.

Be in complete obedience to the flow.

The flow comprises images.

Images appear and disappear.

They are shadows or reflections of the consciousness.

None of the images are connected.

There is no cause-effect there.

Be unconcerned with the random images.

Only your own imagination of being associated with the images can disturb you.

Remain devoid of all imagination.

Attempt to relish your nature of complete unconcern.

Dispassion is your core inherent quality.

There is no yoga-bhrastha here.

There is no failure in yoga because the untruth can never win.

The Sargadatta Maharaj says in Marathi,

Jinknya chi sandhi asatya la midat nahin.

The untruth never gets the option to win.

This means there can be delay but there is never a failure in yoga.

Maturation occurs gradually like a seed develops patiently.

Be patient.

The direct seeing of the truth will occur spontaneously and suddenly,

Explosively,

Without notice.

Allow the room for it.

Simply be.

Seeing is not becoming.

Seeing is of that which already is.

Don't become.

Simply be.

The last step of seeing brings you to the destination but the journey is equally essential.

Allow the room for the sustained journey as much as the room allowed for the explosion.

Be in silence.

Allow the seed of spiritual truth to mature in the darkness of silence.

Give it its room to mature until it attains the sprouting moment.

Dive deeper into Samadhi in silence for the rest of this sitting.

Simply be.

Simply be.

Simply be.

Simply be.

Simply be.

Simply be.
