Hello, my friends, I decided that I would finish off the
Shiva Sutras
before we move on to the Brahma Sutras
since we've come on this long journey so far, we might as well complete it.
So todays Shiva Sutra
naisargikaḥ prāṇasambandhaḥ
this connection with breathing in and breathing out
is the true nature
of
the advanced Yogi.
Very, very interesting.
So let me explain first what
Lakshmanjoo
was saying and then we'll go a little further maybe.
Upon returning from the eternal state of divine consciousness,
the connection with breathing in and breathing out occurs naturally.
It is the nature of the Yogi to travel with the breathing movement.
So just as soon as the Yogi descends from
the state of God consciousness or divine consciousness,
the Yogi begins the journey of breathing in and breathing out.
This has already been said by Kallatta
in
his great text, praksamvit prane parinata
the first change of divine consciousness takes place in the breath.
Therefore, as long as the Yogi continues to breathe, his body
must also continue to exist so that breathing is possible.
So breathing makes the body possible and the body makes the breathing possible.
And so the Yogi maintains this body of five elements.
The word naisargikaḥ
this is the nature of the Yogi explains
that the Yogi's connection with breath comes about due to the nature of
the subtle energy of absolute independence. svatantrya shakti
Because
whenever the supreme goddess of consciousness intends to create
this differentiated nature,
she first creates limitation in her being by entering the state of the first breath.
The breathless breath called pranana
pranana
the breathless breath.
When this pranana
is existing,
this body does not become lifeless.
And even though the body may not breathe in and out as a body, it is not rigid,
it is alive.
Take your hand as an example. It is not breathing in and out and yet it is not rigid.
So there is the breath of life and actually all your ancestors is genetic memory
in just every movement of your hand.
So there's the breath of life also in your hand.
When a woman conceives a child in a womb, that child is initially produced with
the breathless breath
in that child, there's no breathing, there's only life.
This breathless breath is the breath of life. It's the divine connection
between
divine consciousness
and all life all alive.
So this breathless breath is the breath of life.
As the first movement of that energy, the supreme goddess is transformed
into this kind of breath.
And then that breath prana
is transformed into the second movement of breath
which is breathing in and breathing out pranana,
this breath
of life
then begins the differentiated experience of the universe.
So this attachment with the breath that appeared in
the beginning is the glory of pure consciousness.
That supreme and subtle energy is all pervading.
Without any impurities, always blissful, creating the entire class of energies
of Shiva of pure consciousness and filled with supreme bliss.
This supreme energy.
mahaghoresvari
...
name of a goddess. Fearful for the ignorant is creative. For those who are blissful
and destructive. For those who are unaware.
mahaghoresvari
destroys the sphere of time which flows in three ways as ida,
pingala, and
susumna
which is existing in Prana
apena and samana
which is found in present, past and future.
Wow. So so much
knowledge in that one, Sutra.
Now let's make this practical right? This moment.
So take a deep breath through your nose.
OK?
And realize that in this one breath,
there are 10 to the power of 22 atoms that you're
inhaling from the universe 10 to the power of 22 atoms
in that one breath.
You are actually
engaging
with the breath of existence.
Take a deep breath
and every atom here
is coming from all of life everywhere,
every atom that's coming here from trees, from plants, from other sentient beings.
So this particular breath is the entanglement
of
our
existence,
this breath
and as you take it in
and as you know, it goes to the lungs after the terminates et cetera. Et cetera.
Then the same breath pervades every cell in your body,
every cell in your body.
So what are you bringing to every cell in the body?
The entanglement
of existence through breath.
Let see those cells in your body, your brain, your mind and me
at the deepest level, we are entangled, not only as breath, but as
energy,
as the quantum field,
as information,
as matter
and as
everything that exists in the universe, in that one breath,
the entanglement of
our common breath, which we call the atmosphere,
the entanglement of energy,
ok vital energy
at a very fundamental level,
the entanglement of mind because right now my mind is entangled with your mind,
the entanglement of brain,
the neural network that we are creating through the internet,
the entanglement of our bodies because the same atoms
once manufactured in the crucible of burning stars are in
you and me and we are recycling through each other.
So we are entangled in mind, in brain,
in body
and also our experience of the universe as long as we use the same instruments,
brain and mind.
So the yogi by knowing this breath as the breath of the divine
and this is in the Bible.
Also the Lord God made humans from the dust
of the ground and breathed into their nostrils,
the breath of life
and we became living souls. So the breath is the connection
between
the divine consciousness,
what we call awareness of soul
and then the entanglement of every experience in the universe that one breath
is your ticket
to knowing that you are the total universe
localized for the time being as a verb in spacetime.
And this theater that is also projected
the theater of spacetime causality.
So the Yogi by understanding the secrets of Pranayam
and one secret he mentioned just now is the breathless breath.
So you can do
where you prolong your breath,
where you hold your breath, come back up, then you inhale your breath
and then you prolong your breath again.
There are techniques and I'll share them with you
where you can reduce your brain waves to less than four,
about two per
two cycles
per second, which is the same state as deep sleep, but you're fully awake.
And this is a longevity breath that I'll share with you.
But there are other kriyas that you can do
where you combine breath with awareness, attention, intention
to regulate everything that's happening in your
body and your connection to the universe.
And what we call the breathless breath is the transcendence of breath.
And when breath is transcendent through
or mantra meditation,
and everything comes to a sense, space time, energy, matter
information,
all disappear
provided your eyes are closed as well.
And all sensations, images, feelings, thoughts
surrender
to
their infinite source.
And that is the breathless breath.
Time comes to a stop cells, sensations, images,
feelings come to a stop thoughts come to a stop
and the divine
is breathing through you
without breathing breathless breath.
The key to freedom, enlightenment,
an infinite correlation, entanglement
with the universe.
More to come. I have to finish this
before we start the
the
Sutras.
what we call
the Brahma sutras
as explained by
Shankaracharya
Thank you.
