02 APRIL 2011 - ENLIGHTENMENT IS BEYOND BLISS
Patanjali Yoga Sutras #142, Chapter 3, Verse 36
sattva purushayoh atyanta sankirnayoh pratyayavishesho bhogah para arthat vat sva arthasanyamat purusha jnanam
Patanjali comes to one of the peak samyamas. Each day he was giving a technique and technology for experiencing the powers. Today hes giving the samyama to achieve enlightenment.
I will reveal the sacred secret on this sutra.
The Sacred secret in this sutra is when ever you go through any intense experience like joy or suffering or peace or silence or awareness, just turn your consciousness to who is going through this experience. Ramana Maharishi finishes this in one line-just look at who is going through the experience.
1st truth Patanjali is establishing - the joy (or any feeling you experience), the intellect which experiences the joy, and the pure consciousness and the stuff out of which joy is made, all four are independent things.
When I utter these theories if it clicks accept, if it doesnt, dont bother, you dont need to force yourself to believe it. Somebody may be able to click with the concept of God and not soul, and some may click with the concept of soul and not God but the concept itself is truth but it cant lead you to the truth unless you click with it.
It is the click, the connection, whether it is aptha pramana or sashtra pramana, only when it clicks its going to become atham pramana. Whether its the scripture or the words of the master, only if it clicks its going to become your experience. All 3 pramanas will become reality in your life only when you connect with it.
There are some people who experience all experiences in the head or face. Some go through all experiences only in the heart, some go through all in the stomach, for some the feeling is between the thighs.
Very beautifully the upanishad declares, it does not say if you are born to a sudra father you are a sudra. It only says if all your energy is centered around the thighs you are a sudra....
