Peace and it's Attainment through Yogas

 

Rested mind (mind at Peace) - means - to do absolutely nothing. As long as there

is relationship with " doing " , till that time there is

relationship with Nature, and as long as there is relationship with

Nature (World), till that time there is lack of peace, there is sorrow

and birth and death cycles. Relationship with Nature (World) is wiped

out by " non-doing " , since both activity and objects are part of Nature

(World). The sentient Essence (tattva) is neither activity nor object.

Actions are not-eternal (temporary), whereas inaction is eternal. An

activity has a beginning and an end, but inaction is " AS IS " at all

times. Therefore in attaining God, a mind that is " rested / still " in

other words, not doing anything at all, is the causative factor. Yes!

However, if you mis-utilize this " peace " , then Paramatma will not be

attained. " I am at Peace " - In this manner, by attaching egoism to

peace, or " it is very peaceful " by becoming pleased in this state, one

becomes the enjoyer, engages in consumption of peace. Therefore do not

blend " I " with Peace, rather understand that Peace naturally prevails.

By engaging in consumption (enjoyment) of peace, the peace will not

remain, rather agitations will arise, or one will feel sleepy. By not

becoming an enjoyer of peace, peace will naturally remain. Without

actions and without pride, if peace naturally takes place, that is " Yog "

(Union). Because there is no doer or enjoyer of that peace. Wherever there is

doer and enjoyer there is enjoyment of sense pleasures. Whenever one is an

enjoyer he is established in the world.

 

All the activities and objects are of the world and for the world only.

Therefore a Karmayogi (One who practices Discipline of Selfless Action) instead

of considering these (actions/objects) to be his and for himself, engages these

for the service of the world. By engaging these in service, his relationship

with actions and objects is servered. Nature is in the form of activity, whereas

Paramatma is in the form of repose. Therefore Jnaanyogi (follower of Discipline

of Knowledge) becomes detached from activities and objects and accepts repose.

Acceptance of repose (vishraam) means he experiences being in his real nature in

the form of existence and consciousness. However, the Bhaktiyogi (One who

follows the Discipline of Devotion) accepts

dependence on only Bhagwaan. His very nature which is existence and

consciousness is also a part (ansh) of Bhagwaan. Thus by accepting his

dependence on only Bhagwaan, by serving and trusting Bhagwaan, he

attains salvation, and by depending on only Bhagwaan, love manifests

within him.

 

It is a principle that the All pervading Essence, It's attainment is not by any

action / activity (kriya). The minute we do some activity, we become apart from

that Essence, the real Nature. If we engage in no

activity / action (kriya) whatsoever, then we will be established in the real

nature of Paramatma (tattva). Therefore a Sadhak while

walking-roaming, standing -sitting and at all times make his nature calm and

quieted.
