Guru Patanjali Preaching in Sadhana Yoga

Part 23
Translation: -
The purpose of conjunction of subtlest nature essence with the self conscious of soul is for the self-conscious to experience insight vision of its true nature state forms and self-enlightenment.

The merger of the seer with seen is for the seer to discover his own true spiritual knowledge and insight vision of nature essence state. The contact of the potencies of the owned and the owner is the cause of the apprehensions of their respective characters. The subject is the fragmented concept of conscious mind and the object is the experience or spiritual knowledge. It is through conjunction that spiritual knowledge gets attained of the power and potency of the conscious mind, which is nature’s essence and which is also a glimpse and in sight vision of nature essence. It is through the conjunction that spiritual knowledge about the potency and power of the owner that is the self-conscious of soul’s essence and reality gets realized.

Spiritual knowledge about the consciousness potency and power, which is a seer and a spectator and nature essence states, gets attained only after the elimination of the nature subtle and matter subjects or objects . However the lingering past subliminal karma impressions keeps on functioning in the inner core of conscious mind of a living being. The outer core mind called unconscious mind contains thoughts and cravings of thoughts along with the distress of cravings. It keeps on functioning due to the conjunction of the power of the self-ego and the power of the master consciousness. The vision of its formless and shapeless culminates in spiritual knowledge. It is only on the elimination of the form and shape of nature essence that knowledge , form and shape of the insight vision, which is formless along with the spiritual knowledge of the conscious mind, gets attained. It is then that self-realization of self-conscious of soul gets attained.

The Great Sage Patanjali says that the power of the conscious mind that is subtlest nature’s essence and the power of the master that is the self-conscious of soul’s essence get into a conjunction in order to attain knowledge. The purpose of subtlest nature’s essence is to show the embodied self-conscious of soul ,its innumerable sights and its purpose is also to make the embodied conscious mind perform action and motion. Nature essences purpose is also to make the embodied self-conscious of soul show its real formless form and liberate it from its own fruits of action. The connection of the embodied self-conscious of soul, which is a spectator, ends on seeing its formless form. The connection also ends on attainment of self-realization of subtlest nature essence. The knowledge of the embodied self-conscious of soul is possible only through nature’s essence . Life born out of nature essence, the super conscious mind and the lingering past subliminal karma impressions is possible only through the undergoing of these subliminal impressions.

Nature essence forms are for the embodied self-conscious of soul. The super conscious mind of living being of universe that is one purest nature essence itself is a power and a vision. The embodied self-conscious of soul is a master power and a spectator. Whatever the embodied self-conscious of soul sees, it sees through the super conscious mind of living beings of universe flowing in endless living being of universe. Without the conscious mind of living beings, the embodied self-conscious of soul, which is a spectator, cannot even see different forms of nature essence. Conscious mind that is most pure form of nature essence and which wants to show its different forms to the embodied self-conscious of soul, makes its conjunction with the embodied self-conscious of soul. When the embodied self-conscious of soul does not want to see the various forms of nature essence, it concentrates on its own form. It is nature essence, which breaks its connection from the self-conscious of soul essence through its conscious mind of living being of universe in individual being. It is nature essences, which releases and free the master from its grasp and hold. Mind is the subtlest part of nature essence that contacts the inner of embodied self-conscious of soul.

The Great Sage Patanjali says that the embodied self-conscious of soul essence is the master and nature essence and its one root mind of living being having endless branches in endless living being in outer matter world is the servant. The self-conscious of soul’s essence is contained in the subtlest nature’s essence . Nature’s essence is created through the self-conscious of soul’s essence . The endless form of nature’s essence is the same as that of the formless embodied self-conscious of soul. Nature’s essence does not have an independent form or formless of its own. The pure self-conscious of soul is, however, formless. The embodied self-conscious of soul is a power of seeing as nature essence is a power to be seen through conscious mind of living being of universe.

The body and life of living being which nature essence creates around the self-conscious of soul essence are created in nature essence itself. It creates them according to the concentration of the embodied self-conscious of soul. Its purpose is to show its innumerable forms to the embodied self-conscious of soul. It is after making the embodied self-conscious of soul get self-realization that nature essence liberates itself from being seen. When concentration of the embodied self-conscious of soul gets focused on nature’s essence , the embodied self-conscious of soul through nature’s lack of spiritual knowledge gets caught and lost in the endless and impure grasp of nature essence forms or subtle or matter elements. The mind of the living being then creates self-ego and self-ego and tries to find the happiness in the thoughts of distress of nature essence. In lack of spiritual knowledge he undergoes pains and distress in his cravings for securing pleasures. He suffers from lack of spiritual knowledge in his search for knowledge.

When the self-conscious of soul’s concentration gets removed from nature’s essence , it is then that the thoughts of distress of the embodied conscious mind become distress free. It is then that nature’s thoughts of distress become distress free from the embodied mind of living being. It is then that the pleasures also becomes craving free. It is then that lack of spiritual knowledge gets converted into spiritual knowledge. It is then that nature breaks its connection with the embodied self-conscious of soul. All characteristics and qualities, modes and cosmic laws of nature become meaningless for the embodied self-conscious of soul. Really all this happens automatically. Really a stage gets reached itself in which the embodied self-conscious of soul enters the non-preparatory yogic discipline.

Practicing this discipline, the disciple is to restrain all the gross and subtle and very subtle thoughts of his conscious mind. He is to nullify these thoughts. He is to undertake the practice of disciplining himself through the method of the eight limbs of yoga. He is to undertake an imaginative resolve to undertake the practice of the eight limbs of yoga for the attainment of seeded spiritual union. Once he attains the seeded spiritual union, the rest of the path will get traversed automatically. This is the path, which will lead into the inertia yogic discipline, which will further lead him to the attainment of seedless spiritual union.

It is when the disciple enters seeded spiritual union with self conscious in conscious mind that self-realization automatically gets attained or realized by him. It is then that the connection of the embodied self-conscious of soul with nature essence gets automatically broken. When the connection of the embodied self-conscious of soul with nature essence gets broken, it is then that the embodied self-conscious of soul stops seeing the eternal innumerable and unlimited sights and forms of nature essence and craving for it. Whatever fragments of nature essence and whatever sights of nature are seen, they impart the spiritual knowledge of the non-merger state of nature essence to the super conscious mind of the disciple. This spiritual knowledge is as pure as knowledge of the inner self-conscious of soul essence.
