Divine Message of His Holiness Shri Datta Swami

 

“Sanyasa” or “Renunciation” is the only way to please the Lord as per Gita

(“Samnyasena Adhi Gachchati”). This does not mean orange coloured dress and a

stick. “Sam” means completely. “Nyasa” means both attachment and detachment.

Attachment to God and detachment from world are the meanings. World means both

qualities and deeds caused by qualities. Both attachment and detachment must

take place simultaneously. Each one is a cause for the other. Unless the

detachment from world is completed one cannot attach to God. Unless one

attaches to God, he cannot simultaneously detach himself from the world. Both

are simultaneous as you see by both the eyes simultaneously. Those who cannot

resist the world should detach from the world.

 

Such detachment is external as well as internal. “Dama” is external

detachment, which is like not going to cinema theatre in the world. “Sama” is

internal detachment, which is like resisting the T.V. cinema in the house. The

old feelings in “Chittam” appear on the screen of mind as cinema. Resisting the

mental activity though senses is Yoga as told by Patanjali (Chittavrutii

Nirodhah). If you resist seeing, hearing etc., the entry of external poison

into mind is stopped. But the poison was already precipitated in “Chittam”

(storing capacity of mind) since from several births. Thus the mental activity

(Chitta Vrutti) is both external as well as internal. This activity is called

as “Sphota” by Sanskrit grammar, according to which the “Chittam” has two

meanings. One is addition of poison from outside (Samjnanam) and other is

digestion of already existing poison (Smaranam). The poison is the bundle of

worldly matters. Resistance of mental activity is to be done by the soul,

which can be effected by the poison. But a Scholar (Jnani) does not resist

this poison. He digests the poison and so takes it from outside also. Both

these activities are done by the subtle body (Sukshma Sareeram), which is made

of qualities or mind. The gross body (Sthula Sareeram) is a composite of

senses, which do actions initiated by qualities.

 

A “Jnani” separates from these two bodies and enters the third causal body

(Karana Sareeram), which is pure awareness. He will not cross the boundaries of

this third body, which is also called as “Atman” and such a Scholar is called

“Sthita Prajna”. “Prajna” means pure awareness. “Sthita” means the person

limited to pure awareness.

'To think' is the very nature of mind. We should not try or aspire for making it

blank because it is impossible and is against its nature.

 

==> This is entirely against Patanjali Yoga Sutras where Patanjali says

Yogashch Vritti Nirudhham

When Vrittis are completely stopped Yoga starts.

 

Mind is the barrier between Jiva and God and until it is stilled and sent

back to its origin, no merger will take place. Mind was necessary to make us

wake from our slumber in the matter...and to bring us here where we are, but

mind has to be abandoned for the

final leap !!!
