Prati Paksha Bhavana and Vasana Kshayam (Part 2 of 4)

 

- The transcript of the speech given by Guruji in Devipuram

on 1.4.2006

 

It is not "nothing". It is totality. How can totality be none? So, the

sutra if

at all, it must mean, you stop thinking. What he is saying is, there

is a wave

(a sine wave). Let it be a thought. You add to it, another thought

which is an

opposite sine wave. Net is zero thought. Thought, in order to exist

must move

in time. Basically what you are saying is we're trying to counter the

movement

in time. So, that means, you are trying to gain a timeless experience.

So, there

can be no action in that. Action belongs to the realm of time. Action

happens in

time. If something moves, action can be there. If something does not

move, what

action can be there? So, both killing and giving birth are actions.

Both good

and bad actions are actions. When nothing is moving, nothing is

changing, what

good can be there, what bad can be there. So nature is invariant to

the way the

time flows. It does not change with the time. The Mula Prakriti is

invariant.

The Prakriti is variant. There are two kinds of variants, co variants

and contra

variants based on whether it goes in the same direction or moving in the

opposite direction as the movement of time. Both possibilities exist, both

covariant and contra variants with respect of time. So, the sutra must

mean the

cessation of time is the aim, not the mind. The fullness is the aim,

not the

destruction. It does not say Mano Nasham. But Vasana Nasham. What is

Vasana

actually? Vasana is the course of memory. That means you remember

something and

then it moves. You're going through the story of that memory. That is

called

Vasana. An incident has happened, you remember it. You remember that

sequence.

How to explain Vasana? You tie a piece of hing (asafetida) to a cloth.

Take away

the hing, but still the cloth smells of that. That is Vasana. There is an

incident of something happened. It get stored in your brain. Your mind

replays

it. That means the memory is replayed. The memory is not washed out,

it is not

erased. It is not shift-delete. It is there in recycle bin. You can

access it in

the normal way if you want to. Nothing is ever destroyed, because,

there is no

destruction. There is no birth also. You cannot destroy nor can you

create.

Everything is there all the time. It is all there in the recycle bin.

We're only

looking at a certain part of recycle bin. So memory is not destroyed;

memory of

God is perfect. What we're destroying is the movement of time. A

particular view

of that is what we are trying to destroy. That is what should be

Vasana Kshayam.

It is not Mano Nasham. It is Vasana Nasham. In that, good goes, bad

goes. So

good is replaced by bad, bad is replaced by good. Not replaced by, but

countered

by.

 

Prati Paksha Bhavana - that means, the wave is there. Imagine a

counter wave.

Effect of the waves is null. You can say that your mind is enclosed in two

shutters. It goes from here to there, comes back, reflected there,

reflected

there and oscillates between the two. Then it collapses. Then, there is no

oscillation. Mind remains still. Stillness of the mind is what they are

referring to. Not the destruction of the mind.

 

When the mind is still, you're moving from individual mind that can be

stilled.

The universal mind is super set of everything. The way to enter that

is not

through time, when the time is moving, you cannot enter into universal

mind.

You've to enter it only when the time is not moving. IN that sense you

can try

to under prati paksha bhavana. It is Vasana kshayam and is not mano

layam. Mind

is individual memory. The individual memory is replaced with universal

memory.

Imagine, you format your disk. All the memory is erased, all the

programs are

lost. All lives are lost. That is Shoonya. Is that the aim?

 

That is not the aim and that cannot be the aim. You cannot destroy

God. God is

this world. If you destroy the world, the God also dies. Why do you

say that the

God is not the world? How do you reduce the intensity of something? By

putting a

counter wave, make the amplitude zero. That is what it must mean;

because all

waves are thoughts right? If thoughtless must be there, there should be no

waves. So, how do you kill a wave? By creating a counter wave. That

must be

Prati Paksha Bhavana.
