Samadhi- A progression

Transcript

I hope yeah my short talk so I'll talk to Shama but it's applicable to everybody regarding a particular sutra those who are listening we always taught sutras from that standpoint of what is potentially mean when he says yoga other yoga asana yoga straight away means samadhi he has explained by we also then we have to look at okay what what is Samadhi in potential is terms and then we know that's explained in the 17th and 18th verse 17 verse says some ricotta Samadhi and some French Giada involves that systematic process of vitarka to be Chara to Anand to a Smita where you get the wisdom some partner so that is the Samadhi that's the direction now when we talk about vitarka KB darkus Ahmad it is a Samadhi is absorption and wisdom emerging from absorption the cross now what does he mean this whole idea of wisdom wisdom about what so that should be the next question what is the wisdom wisdom about what and then we have to know that Patanjali is talking about wisdom about the regime wisdom about what is seen because we are so entrapped in the scene and Pat Angeles liberation is from the scene to the seer from the drishyam - tada - to who so who pay ourselves we want to apply in that pure pure Isha which is a witness consciousness so we want freedom from the scene and some protein or the Samadhi is wisdom about everything zyne and for which you have to first really get your chitta iboga meaning expansion of consciousness into concentration objects of concentration which is always a scene object ok Joba durka is a first samadhi and in the second chapter but Antony explains what is the scene ok what is the scene and he says this is a three gunas which expresses as in four categories he says the group of gunas expresses as vishesha so that is one group then a vishesha then Linga Matra then a Linga these are the four categories in which the scene calls us that the scene is in front in these four categories appreciation is a group of sixteen constituents sixteen and these sixteen are five gross elements five organs of action five organs of perception in the mind these are the sixteen so this is what we normally are engaged with we get entrapped with these so vitarka samadhi is concentrating on these sixteen so you can you have to look at earth elements okay what is the Solidarity and vadhaka is really looking at in terms of what is the word word for this cross body so I can say anything knee I can say elbow that's a word that denotes something and then I really look into that it's a word to object denoted my relationship with that and the experience rising from that all these things is it heavy is it light all these things constitute that vitarka practice and you get by continuous absorption in these sixteen Vizier's you get a bit stream about it that is the procedure wisdom about it due to that wisdom you get a bit of a freedom from entrapment with the 16 wishes okay then where do you go you have a special programme vichara Chara sharanam actually means a movement we actually means special it's a special movement so from the experiencing the cross so you're doing asanas asanas asanas is a beautiful way of really experiencing this appreciation and instead of the external entrapment you start to feel something which is so subtle and refined the beach is the reason behind the oldest movement as such so that is vichara so that's when you try to experience as what's a taste of the pose rather than what's the depth of the pose which is a physical the vishesha thing where's my body is my elbow touching the floor that's a earth element ish engagement now you're looking at what's a taste of the post in my consciousness what is do I feel my posture as bright or dark this we are moving into the five subtle elements 10 markers in terms of taste form that's etc so not the gross stuff is about houses feeling as a sense of how is it touching my consciousness parsvakonasana what's this touch of my consciousness is it like a rough touch oh you're really trying to feel it from another dimension so that is the five than Macross which is to be Chara practice you know that is called subtle but you can jump into subtle it's a natural progression from vitarka and you have to really go through the cross and and then you move into who is experienced in this pose okay who's what's the agency through which your doing and experiencing there's no doubt about it that's a hum Cara okay that is the that is the instrument through which you're experiencing so anytime anytime I'm talking it is this guy talking yoga teacher talking or you know shaman listening like so that is the agency that is the instrument through which you are engaging and reflecting and perceiving so it's not 12 Ankara when you're really just pouring your awareness into this this continuous I me my which is forming you will start to experience the Bliss of your identity that is a third Samadhi Ananda normally we don't feel the Bliss of ahankara we feel the sadness of our Gaara poor me or I can't you know how can you and this kind of thing that the suffering of anger then when you really give your awareness continuously to this Ankara you'll touch upon the SAP to of Ankara and that is a beautiful place and that's where many students will say that I got enlightened because that's a fantastic place of bliss of rapture and that is the Ananda Samadhi okay to be continued practice observe the place that's a third concentration object actually Ananda of Ankara and when that happens for a long time you then touch upon Linga Matra when Linga Matra is just a mark Linga means a mark mat remains a mark only meaning that a spitter samadhi which means you are not evident to you normally you are able to you as a shape as a name as a professional when you've reached this depth of samadhi you is only you just an an experience of i am-ness there is nothing to as a shape or as a professional or all that has dropped off you are pure awareness there is nothing you can point to and say this this is what I am there is no distance or darkness it is just I am NOT that is as me the Samadhi that's Linga Matra meaning just a mark some just know that I I am that's all the task me that it's a place of composite sentient meaning this mixed with pure Isha and sawed-off broccoli and you'll stay here for a while and you'll get all the wisdom about Trisha some pre Kannada Samadhi and then later once you have completed some of the drishyam you will move into the second Samadhi some pressure Samadhi that you'll move into drishna it sure dope Patanjali it's not specifically mean asana as a way to do this when we apply all this teaching to our practice we derive a deeper meaning out of our practice if all Patanjali into our asana practice it's not that Patanjali intended exactly this way it may be hindered maybe it doesn't but we pour these principles into our practices and then we derive that meaning so asana practice becomes a progression of that some pressure another Samadhi any doubt you can us
