Friends, in the previous post we were talking about the environmental side effects of cement. That’s all, but those who use it, they also don’t use properly. Most laxity is given to that curing in the form of water irrigation, especially in government and contractual works, which is most important for its strength. This wastes resources, and there is a possibility of heavy loss of life and property due to accidents. Well, we don’t want to stray from the main topic by going into these technical matters. I have another book on this, “Basic pillars of multi-tech organic farming and rainwater harvesting” in Hindi. In this post we will discuss the biggest lie.
To observe thoughts calmly means that we are accepting their existence. Their real or true nature. Their subtle nature. Their spiritual nature. Their mental nature. Accepting their independent nature. Accepting their authority based on something. Accepting their incomplete authority. We are accepting their existence with an extinguished mind. With this, when the thought disappears, we will not feel the darkness of their absence or feel-less. Along with this, indirectly it will also be proved or believed that the absence which we think of as darkness is actually light, because from there these thoughts keep popping out and merging their in. With this, the soul will gradually become clean and move towards liberation. If we get carried away in thoughts’ flow, it would mean that we are accepting their unreal existence. Accepting their physical nature. Accepting their gross authority. Accepting their physical authority. Accepting their independent nature. Accepting their absolute power. When the thought disappears with this attitude, we will feel dark. In case of third type of attitude, If we try to deny or remove them, it would mean that we are denying their existence alright. This will also indirectly mean that we are accepting the nature of darkness. Due to this, life will go towards darkness. Means witnessing is the biggest spiritual practice. This is the best middle path of the Buddhists. In witnessing, that’s why the soul gets pleasure. Harm even by chasing away thoughts and harm even by embracing them. So keep paying attention to your breath and your body, and let the thoughts come and go.
It is a matter of saying that witnessing is everything, there is no need to do yoga etc. anything else. It is like saying that the fruit is everything, there is no need for trees etc. The real practice of witnessing happens only during yoga practice. At that time thoughts are coming to the brain, and attention and vision are on the lower parts of the body or chakras like Muladhara etc.. This does two things at once. One is that yin means the lower part and yang means the brain part merge together, and the second is that the thoughts of the brain remain ignored even when they come, which leads to the best witnessing. Welcome thoughts like uninvited guests. Just as we remain neutral towards uninvited guests while welcoming them, so should we be towards thoughts. The main thing is that people prefer to watch scenes made of 4K signals, not scenes with SD signals. Consider the signal generated in the brain during yoga as 4k, and in common worldly condition as SD or at most HD. That’s why maximum witnessing feeling i.e. mute viewer feeling arises during yoga. In normal worldly condition, we can react according to mental visions, but how will we react during yoga, because apart from mental vision, nothing exists in physical form. That’s why we have to remain calm and keep watching the scene. That’s why many people call television also a good witnessing instrument, because we cannot give any reaction for that also. That’s why fictional movies give more fun than movies based on true events. Because where the sense of the truthfulness of the intellect wakes up towards such visions, there will be a disturbance in the mute viewing stance and self-bliss.
Witnessing practice means yoga practice can be done three times a day. It seems most important in the mid day. At that time the energy of the body is at its peak, due to which a lot of suppressed thoughts emerge, which are well witnessed. If there is a shortage of space etc., then at least Pranayama can be done. If there is a problem in sitting, then this can be done even on a chair. Deep Kundalini meditation by holding the breath on the chakras can cause headache etc., so light Pranayam is enough during the day. The best time for meditation is in the morning and evening at Sandhya that’s day-night union time, when the brain gets extra energy from the Muladhara. At that time, the burden of worldly works also seems to be removed. Perhaps that is why Trikal or three times Sandhya was very prevalent in the olden times. Not everyone can be self-aware all the time, because some people’s work is strange and complicated. Those who have a long practice or who have access to satsang, they can stay however. Karmayogi also remains self-aware all the time, but Karmayoga is also not easy. That’s why for the benefit of the common man there is a provision of sadhana three times a day, rest of the time keep doing any practical work, keeping sadhana on the table.
The problem arises when man does not see reality. Does not see the truth. There is no harm in seeing, there is no harm in seeing the real thing. The evil is in seeing things in their false forms. Seeing thoughts in subtle form is Satyadarshan or true viewing, but seeing them in gross and physical form is Asatyadarshan or false viewing. Seeing thoughts inside your body or mind is Satya Darshan, but seeing them outside yourself is Asatya Darshan. Seeing thoughts in one’s own form means non-dual form and self-form is true vision, but seeing them in other’s form means in dual form and non-self form is false vision. Not that these are only the philosophical things. This is scientific truth. In fact, worldliness is completely based on lies. Subtle thoughts are given a false gross form. Spiritual (Chidakasha-Atman or consciousness-sky-form soul) thoughts are given a false physical (just opposite of Atman) form. Thoughts located inside the body are falsely understood to be outside the body. If we consider thoughts in their true form, then the world has disappeared and only soul and soul is everywhere. It is a great thing that this vision is itself maintained without any special effort while doing yoga, because at that time the activity of thoughts changes rapidly according to the rapid changes in the activity of Prana in the form of body postures and breath, due to which the belief that all these are connected with each other is self-affirmed, and always remains maintained in the subconscious that manufacturers habit of an individual. I am saying body instead of mind or brain because different thoughts carry different energy levels, so they fit on different chakras of the body. The ones with more energy are towards Sahasrara and the ones with less energy are towards Muladhara. The energy of thoughts should not be tampered with, otherwise the burden on the brain will increase which can also cause headache. That is why the real form of man is not the mind or brain, as is commonly understood, but the front channel from the Sahasrara Chakra to the Muladhara Chakra and the group of chakras located on it. Understand that it is a bamboo stick with seven knots. Thoughts are not necessarily attached to the chakras, they can be felt at the height or level of the chakras over any long distance. Perhaps the thoughts of Sahasrara cover the whole distance towards the sky, and the thoughts of Muladhara the whole distance towards the lower worlds down. Wherever thoughts are felt, they should be welcomed there, but in their real subtle and spiritual form, not in their false gross and physical form. Also during yoga, by looking at the thoughts with a true eye, they do not disappear at once like in the normal worldly condition, but they disappear comfortably and slowly giving joy to the soul, because the energy level is high while doing yoga. Calmness with little clearing of Atman is felt too with dissolving thought waves. Along with this, various technical experiments like holding of breath, i.e. Pranayama during yoga also reduce the restlessness of the mind. With this the soul feels well satisfied. In the normal state, they disappear before they can provide proper bliss to the soul and get burried as darkness in subconscious leaving the soul blurred like the scar on the moon, because the energy level is low, so leaving the soul as if thirsty of cleaning water. If we accept thoughts in their false form, then the soul has disappeared and the world and the world is everywhere. It is a simple matter that thoughts become so much more clear by yoga, which is not even in the condition of common material worldliness. Due to this, their true subtle form automatically comes to the fore. Means Kundalini Yoga exposes the biggest lie in the best way. Anyway, the soul gets strength from this exposure to get exposed itself. If there is no lie, there will be no exposure either. This means that the lie and its exposure must go hand in hand. Meaning that materialism and spiritualism should go hand in hand in a balanced way. Balanced means that there should not be so much materiality that it becomes on the life of a man or the life-giving earth starts getting destroyed. There is less lie in an animal, so it has less chance to be exposed, due to which its self-development is also very low or slow. This biggest lie is called ignorance in the language of spirituality, and its exposure is knowledge. Beware of those who try to extract money by mixing worldliness with spirituality, because when they are in worldly mode with money, there is no spiritual mode at that time. Yogi and writer Shri Om Swami is right in saying that Yogi should be financially self-reliant, along with that he should also be an industrialist who can provide financial support to the society. What a yogi who goes on begging even for himself.
I think that some initial spiritual practice can better be done in a group etc. Later, probably in most of the cases higher stage spiritual practice is fruitful only in solitude, not in a crowd. Anyway, the sadhna that can be done in the crowd is Karmayog, not doing yoga by holding the nose. Come on, no problem, let’s flow with the times. There is no compulsion in this. Whatever you find good and suitable for yourself, do it. This promotion is for those who are entitled to it, but are not able to get used to it due to various reasons like hesitation etc. Promotion of a film does not mean that it should be seen by everyone, but that it should be accessible to the curious and needy person. Valentine’s Day does not mean that on this day everyone should make a couple and fall in love with each other, but that those who feel the need and scope for it, but are unable to do so due to hesitation etc., should get a chance to do so. Best wishes on World Yoga Day week to all.
