Guru Patanjali Preaching in Sadhana Yoga

Part 10
Translation: -
These pain, unease or sorrows are renounced or abandoned consciously by reducing to subtle form.

These pain, unease or sorrows when reduced to subtle forms consciously are got rid of or abandon or deserted or renounced through assimilation. The sources of mental distress are subtle. They are not to be confused with their disgusting expansion as likes and dislikes, good or bad habits, vanity and such other personality traits. Resolving each in its own cause can dispel these subtle sources of distress. Confronting each of them with its true opposite can also dispel them. The five causes of pain, unease or sorrows, which arise out of the thought of the unconscious mind, are lack of spiritual knowledge, self-ego, attachment, enmity and fear of death. They are to be reduced into subtle form and then get rid through assimilation. These subtle sources of mental distress are to be made subtle and then dispelled consciously.

It is fruitless to renounce or eliminate pain, unease and sorrows from the unconscious mind without first renouncing or eliminating their seed or their subtle form of thoughts from the conscious and unconscious mind. On the elimination and renunciation of their matter forms from the unconscious mind, they, however, neither get renounced nor eliminated. They remain alive in a subtle form and in the form of a seed in mind. They reappear at the opportune time. They get eliminated or renounced fully and completely only when they’re subtle condition or thought, their seed like condition and their invisible condition get renounced and eliminated from the inner conscious mind.

Pain, unease or sorrows in form of thoughts keep on hibernating in the depth of the conscious mind. It is when subtle form is got rid of through assimilation that they forsake the mind and the mind gets rid of them. Eradicating them from the mind necessitates that their true opposite conditions are made to appear in the conscious mind. It also necessitates that respective confrontation takes place of their opposites in the conscious mind. It is then that these impediments, these pain, unease or sorrows, these afflictions and these distress-provoking thoughts are got rid of from the depth of the conscious mind.

It is on the attainment of the knowledge of their opposite and confronting conditions that the knowledge of the five causes of distress that are lack of spiritual knowledge, self-ego, attachment, enmity and fear of death, gets attained. The knowledge of the five causes of distress and the knowledge of their opposites is to be consciously attained while remaining in a state of self-conscious. The knowledge is to be attained in its subtlest state of conscious mind.

The Guru Sage Patanjali says that the causes of distress provoking thoughts and the knowledge of lack of spiritual knowledge are not obtained by renunciation of argumentative thoughts. Lack of spiritual knowledge has four states or conditions. They are dormant, attenuated, intercepted and operative. Attaining knowledge about their four opposite and confronting states attains knowledge of lack of spiritual knowledge. Knowledge of lack of spiritual knowledge is attained by knowledge of the subtle and manifested forms of the four states of lack of spiritual knowledge.

It is attained by the knowledge of the lack of spiritual knowledge of the subtle thoughts of the conscious mind, which embody the past lingering subliminal karma impressions. The renunciation of subtle lack of spiritual knowledge is possible through the attainment of subtle knowledge. Descending into the conscious mind and entering into seeded spiritual union attain it. Having awareness of the opposite and confronting states of the subtle lack of spiritual knowledge attains it.

lack of spiritual knowledge is the root cause of all the five pain ,unease or sorrows. Attaining seeded spiritual union can only destroy it. Seeded spiritual union falls within the realm of preparatory yogic discipline. The non-preparatory yogic discipline is possible after perfection of the preparatory yogic discipline, which entails undergoing concentration, meditation, and the recitation of the God’s name by obeying his command during the state of seeded spiritual union. It is due to lack of spiritual knowledge that the presence of non-preparatory yogic discipline is felt during seeded spiritual union. Its presence is felt in a weak form.

As the spiritual union with self-conscious precedes and progresses, its presence becomes more and more subtle. It appears as if lack of spiritual knowledge has got destroyed. The fact is that lack of spiritual knowledge continues to keep itself embedded in a subtle and dormant form in conscious mind. It remains hibernating and very much alive though in a seed like form. Knowledge of the subtle seed like form of lack of spiritual knowledge and knowledge of the opposite and confronting state is attained during seeded spiritual union (Samadhi). Such knowledge gets automatically attained. It is on the attainment of this knowledge during seeded spiritual union that lack of spiritual knowledge gets destroyed automatically from the inner core of conscious mind.

Yoga Tip: - Select any one spiritual form & remain above any blind worship or superstition attached to it. Meditate on it with devotion regularly and consciously. Here is offered spiritual image of Sri Nityananda, the Great Sidha Master. While fixing attention on spiritual form, hear, recite or remember its name repeatedly and continue to feel it for 15 minutes or so. It could work as short cut medicine to control and cure various kinds of bodily and mental strains and diseases such as sleeplessness, blood pressure, physical strains, mental worry and/ or mental fears. It also improves concentration and meditation cosmic power and makes mind refreshing. Great saints from different human being origin have provided inspiration to Kriya yoga practice and realization of inner peace since eternity by their lives of purity and their focus on the spiritual possibilities available to humanity. Sri Nityananda preached such true Vedic teachings in India and Sri Nityananda is believed perfect spiritual teacher. Sri Nityananda spiritual sculpture pose is true pose of deeper spiritual union with self-conscious and model to all seekers of spiritual knowledge and enlightenment.
