🌹PATANJALI YOGA SUTRAS🌹                          🌀CHAPTER - 3🌀                  ~ Samadhi ~                 🌀DAY - 15🌀 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷 The next sutra is: " वितकॅविचारानन्दास्मितारूपानुगमात् सम्प्रज्ञातः " Vitarka vichara aananda asmita roopa anugamat sampragyaatah             What is the purpose of this sadhna? Vitarka - when your mind has a special logic to pursue in the world and to perceive the truth. Tarka means logic. Kutarka means wrong logic - when then intention is not right and the logic is applied only to find fault; when you know deep inside you that something is not right, but you still logically prove that it is right.            Vitarka is special logic. You may be talking about dispassion and logically you are understanding it, and this...

🌹PATANJALI YOGA SUTRAS🌹                         🌀CHAPTER - 3🌀                  ~ Samadhi ~                 🌀DAY - 14🌀 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷 There is a story about Diogenes of Greece. When Alexander the Great saw him, he was being carried out to be sold as a slave. The people who were taking him to be sold also looked like slaves. Diogenes announced that he was a slave and asked loudly who wanted to buy him. Because he was roaring like a lion, it was difficult for the people to make out who was the slave and who was selling the slave.     Before Alexander the Great came to India, people in his country had told him that if he found some sanyasi here he should bring them back with him; that, they were very precious and were there only in India. So, when he was in India he ordered that some sanyasis should come to him. ...

🌹PATANJALI YOGA SUTRAS🌹                          🌀CHAPTER - 3🌀                  ~ Samadhi ~                 🌀DAY - 13🌀 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷 Question : Dear Guruji, is it possible to get stuck in achieving a mood of dispassion, turning one's attention to the separation between self and thoughts, emotions and sensory data, and is it possible to see more clearly who you are? But if a habit is developed of separating oneself from everything in an artificial way, you will lose spontaneity, attunement with nature and will not fully engage in life by giving it your one hundred percent. How do you walk this tightrope, and how do you know if you are too far on one side or the other? Thank you, Jai Guru Dev.            Guruji : Dispassion does not divide you. In fact, it connects you. It connects you...

🌹PATANJALI YOGA SUTRAS🌹             🌀CHAPTER - 2🌀      ~ Honouring The Practice ~                  🌀DAY - 12🌀 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷 Buddhists have got their own method of determining who is enlightened and who is not. Somebody who sings, dances, and enjoys living in the world is not enlightened. Somebody who mingles with their family members is not enlightened. The enlightened have to renounce their family. I have seen many of these so-called sanyasis. They are so afraid of meeting their own family. They fear that they could develop attachment for them again.            I remember in one of the ashrams, an intimate, a so-called sanyasi and renunciate, would not meet his mother, an old lady who was nearly seventy years old, whe. she would go there to meet him. He would meet everybody else. What had this poor old lady done that he would not even meet h...

Examine your friendships, they are often for a cause. There are several reasons for your friendships: 👉You make friendships because you have common enemies. Fear and threat to survival can bring people together. 👉You make friendships because you have a common problem. You talk about your problems and become friends. For example, sickness, job dissatisfaction, etc. 👉People get together because they have common interests. For example, through business or a profession (doctors, architects, social workers, etc.) 👉You make friends because you have common tastes. You have similar tastes in sports, movies, entertainment, music, hobbies, etc. 👉People become friends because of compassion and service. Out of compassion and pity for someone, you become friends with them. 👉People become friends merely because of long-term acquaintance. 💗💗💗 Brave are those who nurture friendships for only friendship’s sake. Such friendships will never die nor become soured for it is born out of...
