Seeking-Knowing-Becoming

[Guest guest]

Seeking good to the exclusion of evil, or pleasure to the exclusion of pain, or

Nirvan to the exclusion of Sansar, is like asking for there to be stars to the

exclusion of space.

 

Thus

 

We can neither know nor become THAT which we already ARE.

OM Sandeep

 

It is evident t that you agree with Patanjali and his Raja Yoga

Sutras.

 

You say, " Seeking good to the exclusion of evil, or pleasure to

the exclusion of pain, or Nirvan to the exclusion of Sansar, is like

asking for there to be stars to the exclusion of space."

 

Raja Yoga Sutras, II.3.

Ignorance, egoism, attraction and aversion, and fear of death,

are the afflictions which cause suffering

 

RYS, II 7-8

Attraction is that which dwells on pleasure.

 

Aversion is that which attempts to avoid pain.

 

 

 

 

You add, " We can neither know nor become THAT which we

already ARE."

 

RYS. I. 2-3

Yoga is restraining the activities of the mind.

 

At that time (when the thought waves are stilled), the perceiver

rests in his own true nature.

 

RYS. II. 6

Egoism is the identification of the Seer with the instrument of

seeing.

 

RYS. III. 3

When consciousness of subject and object disappears and only

the meaning remains, it is called samadhi.

 

 

It is good that you recognize and emulate the scriptures and the

works of sages. It seemed, at first, that you wanted to foment

your own version of Mao's Cultural Revolution or Siddhartha

Gautama's self-absorbed philosophy and overthrow all authority

and reinvent the wheel..
