Saadhana

 

Mind is the cause of everything. Mana eva manushyaanaam kaaranam

bandha mokshayoh: You have read this sentence. You have heard about

it. You have thought about it. But does it mean in your experience and

realization that the mind has been the cause of your bondage? And the

same mind has now become the cause of liberation? So this transition

from hearing to Self experience, transition from Self experience to

reach a stage of having no further need for an experience †" †" this

is the saadhana. Ultimately it is knowledge. And can knowledge result

from saadhana? How knowledge can be had and the knowledge once had,

how will it remain always operative? When is that threat to knowledge

going to disappear? These ultimately become points to be overcome.

 

Saadhana is to actualize what you know. You must have that

actualization to such an abundant measure that you never feel

threatened or fearful about it.

 

The focus should therefore lie on the mind and in its expansion. I am

waiting for the day when you will be able to say, " Yes, my

consciousness is independent. It is not dependent on the object " .

This consciousness, being independent, is Satya, Shiva and Sundaram!

It is Truthful, Auspicious and Beautiful! Until this is realized the

saadhana continues!
