Crimea Retreat with Shibendu Lahiri

Vast sea, boundless sky, immense Energy... 4th – 10th April 2012.

Lahiri Mahasaya

did not visit this planet to keep you amused in poor and paralyzing consolations but to break the mental prison.

There are no two

Human consciousness is constituted by its contents comprising of cultural inputs and conditioning. There is no part of the conspicuous self-consciousness which is outside the net-work of its contents.

An invitation

to die to the illusion ‘I’ every moment so that a human being can live in Intelligence from moment to moment without the burden of the past and the ‘becoming’ of the future.

...

There is no psychological evolution or development. There is only the ending and demolition of the separative psyche ‘I’, for the emergence of divinity which is the awakening of Intelligence.

Swadhyay begins when we wake up to the activities of ‘I’-ness as is seen in the Beatles’ song...

Message 2

Nimis, Italy, 17 April 1999

Patanjali Essence (sutra 1, 2, 3 and last one)

1^st Sutra

Now the discipline of Yoga begins.

The word ‘discipline’ comes from the word ‘disciple’. A disciple learns and for learning in matters spiritual, a lot of un-learning or de-conditioning is necessary. Thus, this sutra is an invitation for the process of deconditioning.

2^nd Sutra

Ending of the habits and compulsions of the mind is Yoga (Integration).

Integration of mind (separative consciousness) with another dimension which is not of the mind (unitive awareness) is possible only when the machinations, myths, mischiefs, maladies and mania of the mind utterly cease. There is no other way out.

3^rd Sutra

An exposure to the other dimension establishes one in one’s natural state.

Following the integration, emerges a re-orientation in living wherein manifests the natural state in which the body receives instructions only from glands and chakras. Mind or thought does not interfere as an interloper giving rise to psycho-somatic problems, pursuits and paradoxes.

Last Sutra

Zeroing of the personality sets up a process in which one finds himself in a virtuous circle, the climax whereof is the eternal establishment of the natural state wherein one exists in harmony with the Intelligent Energy. Fullpoint.

Personality (Ego), the noun, must end for the holy process, the verb, to begin. And it ultimately explodes in the eternal emergence of the natural state which is in link with an energy that understands. No further movement of the mind.
