Transcript
Every topic is important.
You see that why and how the masters of the Eastern wisdom knows just in the field of awareness that why he or she is suffering and why others are suffering.
It becomes very easy once we reach to that state.
And the reason is,
Have you seen the vampire in Hollywood films and vampire or,
You know,
Sci-fi films where the robot is fighting as a villain,
But the life of a villain lies located in some software.
So once we click that software,
We push the button,
That vampire dies,
That vampire is killed.
So in our.
.
.
Lara wanted to join,
But perhaps she failed.
So what I'm making.
.
.
Yeah,
Terry has come.
Very good.
Yeah,
Very good.
Let us join together.
So we will start again.
Terry,
Yes,
Muted.
Lara is also muted.
So what is there?
What I said in the beginning that it becomes easy for the masters to know that why he or she is suffering and why others are suffering.
So from there I started.
So I'm picking up a couple of verses from the Gita.
As we started this journey,
This series,
That we will discuss and practice meditation for awakening and realization based on Gita,
Patanjali Yoga Sutra and Upanishads.
Lara I don't see you.
Anyhow,
So the next question,
We should ask where we are sitting.
In that reference,
I gave an example of these sci-fi films.
You have robot,
You have vampire.
In India,
There are stories that the life of a vampire is located in a parrot,
In a forest.
So if you want to kill the vampire,
What you have to do,
You have to search that parrot and twist his neck.
So the moment you twist the neck of a parrot,
The vampire dies.
Question is why I told you this story.
Question is where we are sitting.
You will understand now easily.
If we are sitting in a wealth,
Then take all the wealth of a person.
What happens to that person dies while living?
If we are sitting on a chair,
Take the chair out and the person dies.
Are you getting it?
What I want to say?
So question is very important.
Krishna is answering where we are sitting in our day to day life.
So who is sitting?
That one is intellect.
That one is wisdom.
If I'm sitting in the state of well-being,
Wholeness,
Peace,
Then what is going to happen?
That I live in the state of meditation.
And if we are not sitting inside ourselves,
Then what happens?
We feel insulted,
We feel humiliated,
We feel harassed,
We feel suffering.
So that is where I have started this journey.
That is why our Master says in the beginning,
And especially the Patanjali says,
Prayat na shayatil yata anantasamapaktibhyam.
That this body should be steady to succeed in meditation,
But that steadiness should come from the mind.
It should not be enforced steadiness in the body.
When you force the body to be still,
It means there is a problem.
So with that introduction,
I'm coming to the two verses of Gita.
So the disciple and the seeker here asks the Master,
Who is the Master?
The Krishna,
The originator of yoga.
What is the sign of that man in meditation?
What happens?
How he sits,
How he speaks and how he walks.
Don't you want to understand?
So one more,
My Master used to talk a lot about it.
So the seeker addresses the Master as Keshava,
The Sanskrit word Keshava.
That is in the second chapter of the Gita.
So Keshava means what?
And that gives the clue.
Keshava means the rays of knowledge.
So he's addressing his Master.
Oh my Master,
Keshava,
Tell me how a meditator sits,
How a meditator walks and how a meditator works in the world outside.
So there the Master uses the word Sthatapragya,
Where the intellect is sitting,
There.
That is how the people sits,
Walks and lays.
Are you clear where is your house?
Your intellect is sitting in that house.
What is the house of your body?
That is the physical house.
Where your mind is sitting,
Is the mind sitting in calmness?
Done.
Where your intellect is sitting and if your intellect is sitting in anything outside,
Then you are not in meditation.
And that intellect we have discussed in the first series in the Manisha Panchakam.
So that world is known as Sthatapragya.
So a meditator or a seeker when he succeeds in meditation,
His intellect,
Where it is?
It is Sthatapragya sits in the wisdom of the real and the unreal all the time.
All the time.
I explained if your intellect is sitting in the chair,
What will happen?
If the chair is gone,
You will suffer.
If the intellect is sitting in the wealth,
The wealth is gone.
You are disturbed.
You have a lot of suffering.
If the intellect is sitting in the ego and that ego is hurt,
Then the entire world becomes problem for you.
But we will go to.
.
.
So what the master is saying,
There are about 20-25 different verses to have a clarity on,
But I'm taking up only one.
Prajahati yadakamana sarvan partho manogatan.
Atmani evatmana tushtah sthatapragnyata dah ucyate.
So the master is saying,
My son,
My friend,
Listen to it.
Sit for a few minutes and ask yourself,
Are you satisfied in yourself?
By yourself,
To yourself,
You have a stable intelligence.
You are settered in meditation.
Do all the work of the life.
Whatever the work comes in front of you,
You do it.
But always settered in the wisdom of the real and the unreal.
That is the first answer the master gives.
If you are settered in that intellect,
Then what happens?
Whatever the work that you do,
You think and you speak,
Will not cause any problem in the world outside.
Well,
He says again,
I'm translating atmani evatmana tushtah sthatapragnyata dah ucyate.
That meditator is satisfied in the self by the self.
So there is another word that is used,
Who succeeds in meditation,
Who is a sthatapragnya.
Or you can say steady wisdom.
So who has the steady wisdom means what?
By the regular practice of meditation,
We,
Our intellect is refined,
Shines with the wisdom.
What is that wisdom?
Wisdom of the real self.
Then what happens if you are settled in the steady wisdom?
The peace cannot be taken away.
The happiness cannot be taken away from your life.
Now see the reverse part of it.
That is also what the master is saying.
That guy has nothing to do with anyone,
Nothing to abuse,
Nothing to react.
You don't go into that kind of an anxiety or reaction.
You don't worry about the world because your intellect is not set,
Settled outside.
It is not sitting outside.
As I explained,
The demon's life is sitting in the parrot too far from the earth.
From that demon,
So you have to find out that parrot.
And when you twist the neck of the parrot,
The vampire dies.
You see what is the message giving?
What is the message in the meditation?
The message is clear.
We try to find out the cause of our ego and attachment inside ourselves.
It is not inside.
It is outside.
It is outside on the chair.
It is outside on the wealth.
It is outside on any object of which we are attached.
So once you become aware of it,
So what we do?
We don't need psychological testing and a lot of questionnaire.
We become aware that where you are sitting by explaining that,
Oh,
I have a lot of anxiety and reaction and suffering.
What should I do?
So we become aware where you are sitting.
From there we can easily start the journey.
We don't need to find out the level of your anxiety.
This is one part of it.
Now see the other part of it.
That is also more important.
Did you do you remember the five subjective states of the mind?
Do you remember the now relate this five subjective states of the mind?
With where your mind is sitting.
There is a state which is known as forgetfulness.
Forgetfulness mind in which the mind is totally,
Completely sitting in the body.
But body is inert.
Body is a matter.
The matter does not know itself and matter cannot know others.
So now think of the attitude of the mind.
You come to me and the mind is sitting in the body.
You say I have a lot of problem.
Then what my mind says,
Who has no problem?
I have a lot of stress.
Who doesn't have the stress?
So we note and we observe,
We understand in which state of the mind you are.
And that tells the story of your stress and suffering,
Your level of awareness.
You,
We may be highly intelligent,
But question is where this intellect is sitting.
If it is sitting outside and if it is sitting in the body,
That is known as Muhar,
The forgetfulness state.
And if it is sitting outside in different objects,
Then it becomes the wandering state of the mind.
And during the practice of meditation,
I say become aware of the body and you become aware of the pain in the body.
Then your mind is distracted.
Then you have to become a seeker.
You have to succeed in meditation.
Are you getting it?
Are you getting it?
So we are answering a question.
The seeker is asking how a meditator sits,
Walks,
Works.
And this is only the first verse.
So as we continue,
I'll pick up two or three more verses and then we'll come back to the Patanjali Yoga Sutra.
Now see when you are settled in yourself,
You go beyond all the subjective states and you experience the emptiness of the mind all the time.
24 by 7.
You experience even while talking,
You experience that sense of emptiness,
That sense of transparency in the mind.
It is not the emptiness that,
Okay,
I will sit for meditation every day.
Today my mind is empty and tomorrow it is not.
No,
You live into that state of emptiness of the mind because that intellect is sitting inside with the self in the state of the well-being,
In the state of wholeness,
In the state of the peace.
So this is the first verse and the first characteristics the master is saying.
Hey,
That meditator is always sitting in the self.
There are two types of seekers who attends meditation after purification of the mind.
And sometime when we are attending any of these sessions,
We can enter into a deeper state of meditation without any purification because the mind is still sitting outside,
But for the time being for one hour or half an hour of practice of meditation,
The mind goes very deep.
So that meditation is not stable.
And when that is not stable,
Then as a seeker we blame and complain.
What is the answer?
That is what we covered in four or five weeks.
We covered in five sutras.
What exactly is the practice of meditation?
I think you have a sense of it.
In the first verse we understood practice and dispassion are the two elements,
Very important.
Without dispassion,
If you are practicing,
It becomes a habitual practice.
Then you blame practice,
You blame teacher,
You blame the world,
And you go back because the mind is not purified.
And we did not apply the dispassion.
Second is,
Do you remember what it means by the practice of meditation?
Tatra,
Stato,
Yata,
No,
Abhyasa,
Are you listening to me with attention?
Yes.
So can I become aware of that attention of the mind?
Means what?
That mind is already settled.
That is the practice.
Practice is not one hour,
Two hour,
Five minutes,
Ten minutes.
That level of awareness on the steadiness of the mind is to be maintained by dispassion.
And we understood the word dispassion also.
So when you live into that state,
Then what happens?
The answer is realized.
What is the answer?
A meditator is satisfied in himself by himself for himself.
That level of satisfaction comes.
That is why we started with this mantra.
That I had that intent in my mind,
And I am so happy that you all absorbed into that,
Understanding you had that clear understanding.
What is that?
Sarvesham Swasthir Bhagavatuh.
So by saying that,
What is the saying?
That let there be a well-being in everyone.
Means what?
It also includes me and it helps my mind to settle in me.
When there is a well-being everywhere,
Then it is better to settle in me.
When there is a sense of wholeness,
Let me settle in me.
When there is a sense of peace everywhere,
Let me settle in me.
And that creates an auspicious moment.
So what is that auspicious?
In that auspicious moment,
We work,
We think,
We speak,
That meditator.
This is the first set of characteristics of a meditator.
Who sits,
Who walks,
Who works in the steady wisdom.
That is the word is known as theta prajna.
So there are almost 15,
20 verses on that.
So I'll pick up couple of the verses and so that we can have a clear understanding as a meditator.
Am I speaking,
Living,
Working in that state?
Yes.
You don't need a teacher.
You should know all those principles.
That is all.
Have you heard this topic Lara before?
So we will talk.
Now let us start our journey,
Our practice.
Close your eyes,
My friends.
Eyes are closed.
Looking deep inside the heart.
Everything is there in our tradition.
We don't ask the question.
We do not contemplate.
Thank you for being with me in this part of this journey.
I enjoy talking about these things.
What I have learned from my master,
Eyes are closed.
You are aware of the body.
What is that?
You are aware of the body,
Looking at the body,
Looking at the body,
Casual reference.
What is the point?
Now you know.
I should have a steady wisdom.
What is that wisdom?
Now you see that.
Look inside the head in the space.
I am,
I am.
When evolution took place for about 10 to 15 years,
And I asked the master,
What is the highest object of meditation?
The master told me the object of meditation,
Forget about it.
Who is meditating?
Become aware of who is meditating in the practice of meditation.
And that is why sometime I bring become aware of I am.
And that I am is different from the body,
Breath,
Mind,
Thoughts,
Intellect.
And then when I say I know I am,
That I know is consciousness.
And that I am is existence.
And I know I am happy.
It is Ananda.
The word that we use,
Sat chita ananda,
Means I am absolute existence,
Consciousness,
Bliss.
And if I am that,
My intellect must be settered there.
Why should it be sitting in the wealth in the chair?
Or in any object outside?
So in that state,
Look at the breath,
The breath is going in and out.
Make a breath little deeper.
We'll continue with the nyasa.
The deep silent and slow breath is your car.
Mind is the driver and the space inside is the highway.
And om,
We have to drop om to check is the intellect settling there?
We did it last time.
That is why I,
We did it last time and now we are doing it with clarity,
Understanding,
Knowledge.
You see that?
So the breath is your car.
Mind is the driver.
The highway is the space.
And what lies in the highway behind?
It is the all my real nature.
So as you inhale,
Move the mind inside the right arm from the shoulder to the finger taps into the space inside and the mind is singing.
When you exhale,
Move the mind from the fingers to the shoulder inside.
Why we don't want to lose sight with sight of our real goal,
Real self.
So you are,
Are you enjoying?
Are you enjoying?
Is the mind settled in the om on the highway within?
This crazy body will never move.
And even if it moves,
It will remain steady.
Now move the mind inside the left arm.
The life becomes the music,
That one music.
Why the mind is satisfied in oneself for oneself by oneself.
That is the.
.
.
What a beauty.
That's really good.
I appreciate you all.
And now inside the right leg,
You're giving the best gift to yourself on Christmas Eve.
If I see so.
Any object from outside and satisfied in yourself.
And now inside the right leg,
Inside the right leg.
So and now inside the left leg.
Do you remember the breath is car minus driver.
Highway space om reflecting om as your real nature.
So so so left leg now.
You see when the mind understands the intellect settles in that knowledge,
Then the journey of meditation becomes a joy of conscious living.
That is the beauty.
So and now inside the spine from the crown of the head to the tailbone.
From the tailbone to the crown of the head.
I have explained couple of times the descending process of om when you drop om from the crown of the head to the tailbone.
It is the highest consciousness starts dropping and changing our life.
And when we move the mind from the tailbone to the crown of the head,
Then we it is an ascending process.
We have to release,
We have to purify the mind,
Then only it will rise up.
And now leave this look deep inside the heart in the space.
Singing and listening.
Why we are singing and listening?
Just to see that intellect is settled in myself with the masses in the mantra.
Ah first singing and listening.
And what is the singing,
Listening and meaning now?
You are listening to yourself and meaning is everywhere including me.
Sarvesham swasthir bhavatthu.
Sarvesham swasthir bhavatthu.

I'm not saying don't seek the wealth.
Sarvesham puranam bhavatthu.
Sarvesham puranam bhavatthu.

Sankham Purnam Bhavatu Sankham Purnam Bhavatu Sankham Purnam Bhavatu Sankham Purnam Bhavatu Sankham Purnam Bhavatu Sankham Purnam Bhavatu Sankham Purnam Bhavatu Sankham Purnam Bhavatu And third is singing,
Listening,
Meaning and the applied knowledge.
What is that knowledge?
You see that we have,
I told you,
We have thousands different practices of meditation.
And on the Christmas Eve,
If you follow,
Just have an image in the third line,
Sankham Purnam Bhavatu or otherwise,
Purnam,
Wholeness is okay.
Sankham Purnam Bhavatu Sankham Purnam Bhavatu or otherwise,

Sankham Purnam Bhavatu Sankham Purnam Bhavatu Sankham Purnam Bhavatu Sankham Purnam Bhavatu Sankham Purnam Bhavedu Sankham Purnam Bhavatu Sankham Purnam Bhavatu Sankham Purnam Bhavatu Sankham Purnam Bhavatu Sankham Purnam Bhavatu Sankham Purnam Bhatu Sankham Alessu Sankham Purnam Bhavatu Sankham Purnam Bhavatu Sankham Bhatu Sankham Mavata Mmm,
Have a two.
Now,
The fourth line that merges all the three.
Even if your intellect reflects on that again and again,
A sense of wellbeing,
Peace and completeness,
All the three merge together,
And the fourth one appears is Mangalam.
Sarvesha Mangalam Bhavatu.
Sarvesha Mangalam Bhavatu.
Sarvesha Mangalam Bhavatu.
Singing,
Listening and meaning.
Meaning is auspicious.
Can you do a small favor to yourself?
Every day when you wake up in the morning,
Just imagine,
Visualize that there will be an auspicious moment throughout the day in my life,
In my thoughts,
Speech and action.
Even for a week,
You will see the change.
Sarvesha Mangalam Bhavatu.
Sarvesha Mangalam Bhavatu.
Sarvesha Mangalam Bhavoku.
Sarvesha Mangalam Bhavatu.
Sarvesha Mangalam Bhavugu.
When there is a steady wisdom,
Means what?
We are not sitting anywhere in any object,
In any person outside.
We are sitting deep within ourselves.
We are not sitting anywhere in any object,
In any person outside.
Sarvesham Mangalam Bhavatu.
Sarvesham Mangalam Bhavatu.
Now,
Um,
That moment of a speciousness means you are settled in Om.
Om is what?
Real Self.
What is the real self?
Pure consciousness.
Now explain me further.
It is existence,
Consciousness and bliss.
And from there,
First shanti manifest in the causal body,
Second shanti in the subtle body,
Third shanti in the physical body.
So the specious moment has taken over our entire life.
That is what is the meaning of Om shanti shanti shanti.
So let us do it couple of times mentally.
Om.
Mind settles into that emptiness.
Shanti shanti shanti.
Om shanti shanti shanti.
Om shanti shanti shanti.
Om shanti shanti shanti.
Do it yourself couple of times.
Atmani Aiva Atmana Tushtaha.
Couple of minutes every day,
Few times,
Ask yourself,
Am I satisfied with myself,
In myself,
For myself?
You will discover where the mind is sitting outside.
And that is the cause of all the suffering.
Is that so?
No.
Don't believe.
Explore.
And now,
Om shanti,
From the crown of the head to the heart.
Again returning to the crown of the head,
Walking the mind casually.
Why casually?
You know you are there.
I see you all are meditators.
But that is not important.
What is important?
Do you see that you are also there?
Walking the mind from the crown of the head to the heart.
And the mind is softly saying,
Om shanti.
HHHHHHro ultimately calling And now doing nothing.
In that state of doing nothing,
Which we always do in every meditation,
Because that leaves the mind,
Its dependence on anything outside.
Hmm Shanti Shanti Shanti Shanti Shanti Shanti Shanti Shanti Shanti Shanti Shanti Shanti Shanti Shanti Shanti Shanti Shanti Shanti Shanti Then only we will talk.
Her body was totally still doing.
.
.
Yes?
Alright.
Yeah?
How are you?
I did some work during my meditation today.
Very good.
But it's work that I have to do.
And you know I had some distractions and some things going on but I'm listening and I think that I'm seeing how I'm doing a lot of these things that are the unsuccessful stuff.
My mind is wandering,
Etc.
But I see that and so I feel like I just have to continue to practice.
Continue.
But your body did not move at all.
Until right at the end.
Right in the end.
Because I got a shock.
Yeah,
Yeah.
I had to move but I didn't.
.
.
I think I'm doing better about getting upset about that.
Beautiful.
Not 100% successful but.
.
.
No,
No,
No.
It's good.
Continue the journey.
Continue.
How are you David and Jerry?
Again just very peaceful.
Very deep.
By the time.
.
.
There was a couple of little thoughts that came across my mind early on but by the time we went from the Om Shanti from the heart to the mind I was just in deep space and very peaceful.
Beautiful.
That's beautiful.
How are you Jerry?
Sorry,
I'm good.
It was a good meditation.
It was quiet and just focused and nothing.
Just space.
Just space.
I did find though yesterday I was definitely working on the mind.
The mind was working on me a bit and so.
.
.
But I was able to work back on the mind.
That's really good.
That is what we need to do.
Every day we have to guard our mind with these principles.
This mind can become crazy anytime.
You are right.
That's really good.
How are you Lara?
I wait for you.
I have a session that starts like before or that doesn't end until eight.
I have a short window to go to the bathroom and do stuff.
Anyway,
So it was quiet.
I'm also very busy.
I have a lot of stuff that needs to get done today and I'm trying to juggle many things around in limited time.
It was quiet but then I'm also like doing work in my head.
I'm trying to figure it out.
So you have to answer yourself.
Is the mind working on you or you are working on your mind?
I'm working on my mind.
But I also know there's things that need to get accomplished.
Otherwise I won't be able to be here at all.
Very good.
How about you Sam?
I'm good.
I do like the visual you give us about the highway and the driver and all of that because sometimes it's good to realize that a spot behind that is knowing that all of that exists.
You're moving everything but so I was focusing on the decider,
The person deciding or knowing that it was all there.
That's a bit deeper.
You're picking up the things I appreciate.
You don't think I looked it.
You are working with it.
That's really good.
The first part I remember David talked about it,
This wonderful simile of the space.
But the second part you explored,
Yes,
That is really,
You know,
When you understand these principles and you follow,
This is the one part.
And the second part,
Sam,
Is that visualization works very deeply.
In the early stages of meditation or even in the advanced stages of meditation.
So when you said visualizing,
That's really good.
You wanted to complete.
Sam,
Did you complete it?
Did I complete what?
The visualization?
No,
You wanted to complete.
You wanted to say something?
No,
I think that was it.
I think taking myself away from,
I also have a lot of things that have been going on the last few days,
But I've been able to step back from them and say that the things that are going on with other people are not things that I can or want to control.
You know,
27 years old,
I always thought that I could define what's going to happen in my life and all of that stuff.
But it all,
You know,
Even just the sweet things just changed so quickly.
So just a reminder that,
You know,
It all can't control any of it and there's no point.
So it just,
What happened?
So,
Beauregard,
The simple thing that,
What is the message today by this Master Krishna,
Whenever we have a problem,
Anxiety,
Duality,
Conflict,
Challenges in our life,
The mind is sitting outside.
Simple.
Just take it.
Remember this principle.
Mind is sitting outside.
Mind,
Sit inside.
Are you satisfied with yourself?
Are you with yourself?
This is what the Master is saying.
First,
Make the mind sit inside.
So you have a steady wisdom and from that you use the word,
I'm using your word,
Step back,
See the problem,
Solve it.
And once you get this ability,
Then what happens?
You are living in meditation.
So anyone who wants to go deeper,
I am referring,
What I'm referring?
I'm referring to the second chapter.
Second chapter of the Gita,
I don't know,
Maybe around,
So there are 10,
15,
20 verses are there in which Krishna,
The Master,
Explains how a meditator sits,
Walks,
Speaks,
Likes,
But one has to go deeper.
Simply by translation will not work.
One has to listen to the explanation of it.
That is all for today.
Happy Christmas and Happy Christmas to you all.
Merry Christmas,
Happy New Year.
Happy darkness.
Happy into the light.
Happy Christmas.
Thank you.
