30 MARCH 2011 - SPONTANEOUS ENLIGHTENMENT
Patanjali Yoga Sutras #140,Chapter 3,Verse 34
prātibhād-vā sarvam
(You create your identity based on what people think of you - other people's opinion on who you are.
Their thoughts of your identity is a lie and your thought of your identity is a lie - neither exists.
Samyama for Spontaneous Enlightenment:
Hang a mirror on your chest. Feel you are the mirror and everything is mirroring in you constantly.
Every thought, every action, any idea is a reflection on your mirror of a lie.
Just see that you are a pure mirror, mirroring all the fun, chaos, fear, greed, whatever is happening. You are just mirroring. You are the mirror - not the reflection in the mirror...
Reminds me of Guaranteed Solutions - discourse on Anahana chakra - how we collect certificates - labels - and build a house of cards. Our identity is based on the labels on the package that is us, on the house of cards we build. But we are not the labels, we are not the house of cards...
Or - we are the sky, not the clouds...! )
Patanjali was beautifully guiding the seeker. He was not talking, he was taking. He has spoken about all the energy centers up to the Sahasrara. Now he is giving the whole thing.
Pratiba literally translates as mirorring. Let me explain what exactly Patanjali means by the word ‘mirroring.’ First thing understand, there is no ‘you’ in ‘you.’
Whatever you understand or experience or feel as you in you is just somebody’s reflection in you. Somebody’s reflection in you, if it stays there for a long time, you believe it is you and you are possessed by that identity.
Your mother is reflecting on you for a long time, your father is reflecting on you, the society is reflecting on you. Suddenly you feel chaos – so many things are reflecting on you. You also want to mirror and reflect yourself on others. Seeing your reflection on other mirrors is power.
Any identity you carry is just a reflection on you...
