Talk 10 on Yoga Sutras of Patanjali
February 2008

Dear friends,
The treatise of yoga comes to you only in the precious present, where in the reality unravels! We have been learning many things and finally here we are now to unlearn; to say good bye to the mind!

Yoga Sutra 24.

Klesha karma vipaka ashayaih aparamristah Purushavishesha Ishwarah



God is a special consciousness untouched by afflictions, acts, their traces and their fruits.

God is the reflection of Brahman, the consciousness, on the Satwa quality. Satwa qualities are clarity, luminosity and knowledge. So God is the reflection of consciousness on clarity, luminosity and knowledge. As God is the reflection of consciousness on clarity, that state of consciousness is clear about everything. As God is the reflection of consciousness on luminosity God is considered as self luminous. Since God is the reflection of consciousness on knowledge God is all knowing. These are the attributes of God. God is not beyond attributes.

When Patanjali was talking about God he was not talking about an impersonal God. He was talking about a state of consciousness. He considers God as a special consciousness which is absolutely pure and clear. Clarity comes from a state of no conflict. For no conflict there need a state of non duality. In that state of non duality there is no Karma nor its results and its consequential afflictions

According to Maharishi Patanjali God is a special consciousness unaffected by afflictions, acts, their traces and fruits. This special consciousness is eternally free from pain and distress. Pain and pleasure come out of actions. Actions are bursting out of thoughts. Thoughts are considered as subtle action. Thoughts are coming from Memories. Memories are the retentions of past experience. So thought is the progeny of past. It extends to the future as its result when one conceives time as linear in nature. When an action happens, the result of the action is also there in the action though it is seen only later as the mind can only conceive in a linear way.

In God consciousness time is not linear that everything happens at the same time. That is the concept of Viswaroopam. God is that special conscious that sees time as it is. That means it witnesses everything at the same time, the past present and future, that is hidden in everything. Profound meditation on that state is a way to self realization.

God, as I said, is the reflection of consciousness on Satwa quality. When the Sadhaka witnesses his own Satwa which is the quality of clarity, luminosity and knowledge he enters into the State of God consciousness. That means, he enters into the sate of absolute clarity. In that state of clarity both pain and pleasure embedded in an action is witnessed by the Sadhaka at the same time. That is the moment he starts to live the present. God is an existence in present unaffected by future and its afflictions. He is beyond the state of pain and pleasure as he could see pain and pleasure are the extension of the same point. He is not the one affected by pain and pleasure, instead he is the witness of pain and pleasure.

Ishwara is the supreme Purusha
the supreme consciousness, and the supreme intelligence that is the cause of everything that we see in the material manifestation. That state is eternally free from all actions and afflictions. In him there is no subject and object. That special consciousness sees everything in him and he in everything. One who could see himself in every being and every being in himself is staying in a state of God hood. This is the state of highest wisdom.

Aum Santhi ! Santhi ! Santhi !

I have commited myself to be available always for all of you and share whatever I have understood during the course of journey of my life, both in the Indian spiritual traditions and beyond, as a seeker if it is of help for you. What we need in this world is few individuals who could commit themselves to explore their own inner world! It is really difficult to find few of them. However I commit myself to be available always!
