Sumati
is a very attractive word and people on
the path of spirituality and especially
on the path of yoga are desirous of
achieving this
what is Samadhi and what happens we have
discussed that it is the state of
perfection in human being the perfection
in thinking speaking behaving and above
all perfection in living human being by
nature is imperfect although each human
being is potentially divine this
imperfection comes because of ignorance
and the cause of ignorance is not really
known when it started on how it started
as we are children of divinity if you go
to the Holy Bible there is a beautiful
description of cause of ignorance if you
study the Old Testament Genesis
it's human being in his image he
breathed into the nostrils the breath of
life and God created human beings are
the past human beings as man and woman
and how ignorant came with so-called
knowledge it is beautifully described I
will not go too much detail into it most
of you know when snake came and told has
got forbidden you to eat from this tree
the answer was yes this is the tree of
knowledge
if you eat you will be one like God
and if brought and we know this story
what happened really
when they ate they found their naked
they found their indicate this is the
first state of ignorance body
consciousness
the play of ignorance begins with
physical body then sweet then with other
things you see when Adam and Eve found
that their naked immediately they
brought some peak leaves stitching
together wanted to cover up their body
and with this they had developed fear
when God could not find both of them
because if you read the Old Testament
when God was working in the evening time
and their heat themselves behind the
tree God is omniscient God knew but
still God asked have you eaten so out of
here they could not come to them come to
God
so look ignorant comes with body
consciousness and ignorance leaves with
fear
we have to live with body there is no
way out so long as bodies there it is
there but what is this body when one
clearly understands this understanding
is not enough one should be firmly
established in that knowledge for
example we theoretically understand what
this body is we theoretically understand
what this body is but practically when
there is a little pain in the body how
do we feel
can you observe this pain belongs to
body not to me
so how this knowledge would be firmly
established in us in other words we
should be more and more perfect more and
more pure and said Patanjali said it is
through gradual process of practice
abhyasa and detachment void idea there
is no other way
in a very systematic way remember yoga
Sutra is a very systematic way of
analysing humans evolution process and
how to quicken evolution if we want to
be perfect even in the worldly thing we
need need to have to follow these two
obvious Vairagya he want to be good
student you have to study you should not
be distracted voyager or non-attachment
is the means of stopping your
distraction his student is going to
study friends are coming and telling oh
let us go and have little fun let us go
to movie let us go to have food in the
restaurant let us go and do this these
are distraction and creating deviation
from the path so in any field we want to
be successful we have to cultivate these
two abhyasa and where IKEA's Baraka
would stop distraction obvious will make
you more and more
perfecting your practice and so that it
will be established in truth
