Guest guest Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 >From ÔSadhanaÕ by Swami Sivananda ÒThis is the Yoga of Synthesis. ALL-ROUND DEVELOPMENT Man thinks, feels and wills. He must develop his heart, intellect and hand. The three Doshas can be removed by the three Yogas viz. Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga and Jnana Yoga. Have one as basic Yoga. Combine other Yogas also. This is the Yoga of Synthesis. Mokashapriya said: O Gurudev! You very often speak of the Yoga of Synthesis. You lay great stress on this Yoga. You seem to be a great votary of this Yoga. Please enlighten me on this Yoga. I am very anxious to know all about this Yoga. The Guru answered: Yoga of Synthesis is suitable for the vast majority of persons. It is a unique Yoga. Man thinks, feels and wills. He is a triune being. He is a tricycle or a three-wheeled chariot. He reasons and ratiocinates. He wills. He must develop his heart, intellect and hand. Then alone can he attain perfection. Many aspirants have lop-sided development. They do not possess integral development. The three wheels must be in perfect order. Then alone will the chariot or tricycle move smoothly. Even so this body-chariot will move in harmony if you develop the heart, intellect and hand. Further, there are three Doshas or defects in the mind viz., Mala (impurity), Viikshepa (tossing of mind) and Avarana (veiling). Mala should be removed by Nishkama Karma Yoga or selfless service. Vikshepa should be removed by Upasana or worship (Bhakti Yoga). Avarana should be removed by study of Vedantic literature, Vichara or enquiry and Self-realisation. Hence every one should have one Yoga as a basic Yoga. He must combine Nishkama Karma Yoga, Hatha Yoga, Raja Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, etc. This is the Yoga of Synthesis. A little practice of Hatha Yogae (Asanas and Pranayamas) will give you good health. Raja Yoga will will steady your mind. Upasana and Karma Yoga will purify your heart, and prepare you for the practice of Vedanta. Sankirtan will relax your mind and inspire you. Such a Yogi has all-round development. The Yoga of Synthesis will help you to attain God-realisation quickly. Upanishads, Gita and all other scriptures speak of this Yoga. Therefore, O Mokshapriya, pracitise this unique Yoga of Synthesis, and attain Self-realisatiohn quickly.Ó Omprem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
