Question 3 PRAC TICE I S A SO RT OF CON DITION ING AT PHYSI CAL AN D MEN TAL LEVELS, AND IT IS THROUGH C ONDITI ONING THAT SOC IETY M AKES M AN ITS SLAVE. I N THA T CASE HOW C AN PATA NJALI"S PRA CTICE BE AN INSTRUMENT O F LIB ERATIO N? Society conditions you to make a slave out of you, an obedient member, so the question seems validhow a continuous reconditioning of the mind can make you liberated? The question seems valid only because you are confusing two types of conditioning. You have come to me, you have traveled a path. When you will be going back, you will travel the same path again. The mind can ask, "The path which brought you here, how it can take you back, the same path?" The path will be the same, your direction will be different # quite the opposite. While you were coming towards me you were facing towards me, when going back you will be facing the opposite direction # the path will be the same. The society conditions you to make an obedient member, to make you a slave. Just a path. The same path has to be traveled to make you free, only the direction will be the opposite. The same method has to be used to "uncondition" you. I remember one parable. Once Buddha came to his monks; he was going to deliver a sermon. He sat under his tree. He was having a handkerchief in his hand. He looked at the handkerchief. The whole congregation also looked what he was doing. Then he binds five knots in the handkerchief and then he asks, "What should I do now to unknot this handkerchief? What should I do now?" And he asked two questions. One: "Is the handkerchief the same when there were no knots on it or is it different?" One bhikkhu, one monk, says that, "In a sense it is the same because the quality of the handkerchief has not changed. Even with knots it is the same, the same handkerchief. The inherent nature remains the same. But in a sense it has changed because something new has appeared. Knots were not there, now knots are there. So superficially it has changed, but deep down it has remained the same." Buddha says, "This is the situation of human mind. Deep down it remains unknotted. The quality 155
emains the same." When you become a Buddha, an enlightened one, you will not have a different consciousness. The quality will be the same. The difference is only that now you are a knotted handkerchief; your consciousness has a few knots. Second thing Buddha asked: "What I should do to unknot the handkerchief?" Another monk says, "Unless we know what you have done to knot it we cannot say anything, because the reverse process will have to be applied. The way you have knotted it has to be known first, because that will be the way again in the reverse order to unknot." So Buddha says, "This is the second thing. How you have come into this bondage, this has to be understood. How you are conditioned in your bondage, this has to be understood, because the same will be the process, in reverse order, to uncondition you." If attachment is the conditioning factor, then nonattachment will become the unconditioning factor. If expectation leads you in misery, then nonexpectation will lead you into non-misery. If anger creates a hell within you, then compassion will create a heaven. So whatsoever the process of misery, the reverse will be the process of happiness. Unconditioning means you have to understand the whole knotted phenomenon of human consciousness as it is. This whole process of yoga will be nothing understanding the complex knots and then unknotting them, unconditioning them. It is not a reconditioning, remember. It is simply unconditioning; it is negative. If it is a reconditioning, then you will become a slave again # a new type of slave in a new imprisonment. So this difference has to be remembered: it is unconditioning, not reconditioning. Because of this, many problems have arisen. Krishnamurti goes on saying that if you do anything it will become a reconditioning, so don!t do anything. If you do anything it will become a reconditioning. You may be a better slave, but you will remain a slave. Listening to him, many people have stopped all efforts. But that doesn!t make them liberated. They are not liberated. The conditioning is there. They are not reconditioning. Listening to Krishnamurti, they have stopped, they are not reconditioning. But are they also not unconditioning. They remain the slaves. So I am not for reconditioning, neither is Patanjali for reconditioning. I am for unconditioning, and Patanjali is also for unconditioning. Just understand the mind. Whatsoever its disease, understand the disease, diagnose it, and move in the reverse order. What is the difference? Take some actual example. You feel anger. Anger is a conditioning; you have 156
