When I was about
25 years of age,
an uncle of mine gifted me a copy
of the rig veda,
All the 10 mandalas, but also a text
called the Yoga
Sista.
And this was translated by some South indian scholar.
I think his name was.
It's for me being
something like that a long time ago.
So
I was very fascinated by the text and I made notes, extensive notes
And
I've had them now for almost 50 years.
These are, I might say paraphrased
sentences or sutras
from the original tax translation
venkatesh wara
and tradition holds that if you
chant these verses or even listen to them,
they bring about revelations.
You don't even have to understand them.
And so what I'm going to do is I'm going to try an experiment.
I'm going to read 10-15 of the Sutras or versus
from the yoga vicious to to you periodically.
And
ideally if you
reflect on them or even repeat them loudly to yourself,
there's a possibility
of what is called revelation. So let's try this experiment.
Let's see if it works. It has worked for me by the way.
And I've had endless insights and revelations
just by reading these verses.
Shall we give, shall we give it a try. And if it's not helpful, let me know.
But as I read these
slowly,
you can repeat them TSF
and see what happens
Sutras from the yoga vicious to
brahman alone is the cosmic soul of Maha jeeva
and the millions of souls or divas.
There is nothing else
in the infinite consciousness in every atom
in
infinite universes come and go
like particles of dust in a beam of sunlight
that shines through a hole in the roof.
These come and go like ripples
on the oceans.
Death is ever keeping a watch
over our lifespan.
What is called fate or divine will is nothing other than action
of self effort of the past.
Even
as movement is inherent in air
manifestation is inherent
in consciousness.
All objects are experienced in the subject
and nowhere else,
for it is only as long as one invests the perceived object with reality,
that bondage lasts
once that notion goes
with it goes bondage
as long as there's A U. And an I.
There is no liberation.
Movement of thought creates the notion
of created objects.
The and real
has no existence
and the real does not cease to exist.
When the infinite vibrates the worlds appear to emerge when it does not vibrate,
the world's appear to submerge
or disappear
even as when a firebrand is world fast,
a fiery circle appears
and when it is held steady, the circle vanishes
vibrating or not vibrating.
It is the same everywhere
at all times
not realizing this one is subject to delusion.
When it is realized, all cravings and anxieties vanish
in everyone's consciousness. There's a different idea of the world
debt
and other such experiences
are like cosmic dissolution
the night of cosmic consciousness
when that comes to an end and everyone wakes up to one's own mental creations
which are the manifestations
of one's ideas, notions and delusions,
even as the cosmic being creates the universe. After cosmic dissolution,
the individual creates his own or her own world
after death.
Okay,
that's it for today.
If it's useful, I'll continue. If it's not,
and then I won't let me know
it's been useful to me.
