Yamas and Niyamas by Swami Rama (YS3#4)

Transcript

now let me start it from Yama Yama niyama there are two sets of laws which an aspirant should follow a set of laws applied to his individual set self and another set of laws applied for society you are an individual but at the same time there are other individuals you cannot live without relationship or interaction in the world no matter how much you isolate yourself suppose you say I am studying yoga for myself and not for anybody else this attitude will lead you towards egotistical way of life so yoga from the very beginning has large expensive approach right approach towards life you are not meant for yourself only youth today you think that whole world is meant for you and you can use the whole world and you want to use the whole world for yourself the approach of yoga is drawn if you have this philosophy that whole world should be used and you have capacity and you have ability and you want to use the whole world for yourself then you should also understand that you are meant for the whole world so let you learn to add just yourself in a way so that you know how to use the things of the world and at the same time live learn do your actions for others Here I am bringing the Sutra eyebrows where are ya Gong Sun Muruga ha it's not possible for anyone to live happily live we live in the world this is not called living this is a miserable way of living every day crying under the pressure of fears under the pressure of agony stress strain and then we live that is not considered to be living you yourself will feel that you have created an island for yourself you yourself understand that you have isolated yourself there's something wrong somewhere but you do not know what it is because other aspect of life which is related to others life means relationship it's like a coin one side is life another side is relationship you cannot say life is not relationship Swamy who's considered to renounce the world and has nothing to do with home with wife with children with honors and name and fame he still has relationship what relationship has he got his body is related to his mind his body breath and senses are related to his mind and soul how can you say he cannot live without relationship so patandjill even very cautious not to put words samia's on it by rakia where at amis you are doing your duties yet you are not attached to the things they're in I will devote a separate lecture a day for this one Sutra patent illustrate obvious and where Ardea philosophy of non-attachment if properly he accurately practiced you can attain Samadhi one word he says you can be free from the influence of the British even from Nietzsche how can you sleep peacefully if you have to attain something in life I am NOT I'd never considered myself adept for a great Swami but I cannot sleep the moment I nav someone says from within have you come to this world to sleep what do you do after death you sleep for a long time you remain an unconscious state you have come to the conscious state just to attain something regain something something terrifies me fearful something I'm wasting my time I'm wasting my energy I'm in haste see we can I look at the watch and clock and see this it's not yet three o'clock which is my time it's only 2:30 then I feel a half an hour I'm getting more come on sit down you see because I have that fire with him I've seen all the joys of life just of the things we are given to me in the world nothing could satisfy me this my confession he means wealth in the family where I was born abnormally rich people huge mansions and castles best girls in India were shown to me codification was given nothing could satisfy me because my sons Cara's living with other Swami's in the mountain in the cave they said all the time if you have not attained yourself if you have not known yourself what good is you're a stranger you are a stranger to yourself and you are introducing yourself to others are you not funny are you not treating yourself you are cheating others and you are cheating yourself so first task is to know thyself and yourself can be known by attaining a state of tranquillity in equilibrium and simple method is to systematically go ahead that's why it's called science because it has system it has particular system forces Yemma can you remember the spirits here which are they amaz come on one of you should get up I've been teaching for a long time and you don't remember what what are the first four rungs what is Yemen where are those strains what re-imagined what our neighbors I will fail you teachers if you don't tell the particular has such Santos the bus father he should put enough these are eight first four and last four which makes Nahum and which makes yama Charlie get up and tell me you want to fire them yeah him sir satya asteya from acharya this is your mother is to see a lot of him yeah Santos study now I am teaching you to know yourself but Patanjali first tells you to practice Yama's which I relate to do that why then it means there is contradiction in my lecture / not Patanjali says from the very beginning a human being should be aware of other human beings existence of others first you should learn how to behave how to act
