mind. Without mind there can be no recognition; without mind there is no memory. But he uses the mind remember, this is the distinction # and you are being used by the mind. Whenever he wants to use it, he uses it. Whenever he doesn!t want to use it, he doesn!t use it. It is a passive instrument; it has no hold upon him. So Buddha remains like a mirror. If you come before the mirror, the mirror reflects you. When you have moved, the reflection has gone; the mirror is vacant. You are not like a mirror. You see somebody, the man has gone, but the thinking continues, the reflection continues. You go on thinking about him. And even if you want to stop, the mind won!t listen. Mastery of the mind is yoga. And when Patanjali says "cessation of the mind", this is meant: cessation as a master. Mind ceases as a master. Then it is not active. Then it is a passive instrument. You order, it works; you don!t order, it remains still. It is just waiting. It cannot assert by itself. The assertion is lost; the violence is lost. It will not try to control you. Now just the reverse is the case. How to become masters? And how to put mind to its place, where you can use it; where, if you don!t want to use it, you can put it aside and remain silent? So the whole mechanism of the mind will have to be understood. Now we should enter the sutra. First: THE MODIFI CATION S OF T HE MIN D ARE FIVE. T HEY CAN B E EITH ER A SOURCE OF ANGUI SH OR OF NON# ANG UISH. First thing to be understood: that mind is not something different from the body, remember. Mind is part of the body. It is body, but deeply subtle # a state of body, but very delicate, very refined. You cannot catch it, but through the body you can influence it. If you take a drug, if you take LSD or marijuana or something else, or alcohol, suddenly the mind is affected. The alcohol goes in the body, not in the mind, but the mind is affected. Mind is the subtlest part of the body. The reverse is also true. Influence the mind and the body is affected. That happens in hypnosis. A person who cannot walk, who says that he has a paralysis, can walk under hypnosis. You don!t have paralysis, but if under hypnosis it is said that "Now your body is paralyzed; you cannot walk," you cannot walk. A paralyzed man can walk under 43
hypnosis. What is happening? Hypnosis goes into the mind, the suggestion goes into the mind. Then the body follows. First thing to be understood: mind and body are not two. This is one of the deepest discoveries of Patanjali. Now modern science recognizes it; it is very recent in the West. Now they say # body and mind # to talk in this dichotomy is not right. Now they say it is "psychosoma": it is mind-body. These two terms are just two functions of one phenomenon. One pole is mind, another pole is body, so you can work from either and change the other. The body has five organs of activity # five indriyas, five instruments of activity. The mind has five modifications, five modes of function. Mind and body are one. Body is divided into five functions; mind is also divided into five functions. We will go into each function in detail. The second thing about this sutra is: THEY CAN B E EITH ER A S OURCE OF ANG UISH O R OF N ON#ANG UISH. These five modifications of the mind, this totality of the mind, can lead you into deep anguish, in dukkha, in misery. Or, if you rightly use this mind, its functioning, it can lead you into non-misery. It can lead you at the most into non-misery. That word "non-misery" is very significant. Patanjali doesn!t say that it will lead you into ananda, in bliss, no. The mind can lead you into misery if you wrongly use it, if you become a slave to it. If you become the master, the mind can lead you into non-misery # not into bliss, because bliss is your nature; the mind cannot lead you to it. But if you are in non-misery, the inner bliss starts flowing. The bliss is always there inside; it is your intrinsic nature. It is nothing to be achieved and earned; it is nothing to be reached somewhere. You are born with it; you have it already; it is already the case. That!s why Patanjali doesn!t say that the mind can lead you into misery and can lead you into bliss # no! He is very scientific, very accurate. He will not use even a single word which can give you any untrue information. He simply says either misery or non-misery. Buddha also says many times, whenever seekers will come to him # and seekers are after bliss, so they will ask Buddha, "How can we reach to the bliss, the ultimate bliss?" He will say, "I don!t know. I can show you the path which leads to non-misery, 44
