The donkey said, “Iam a faithful servant and I will do your duty”. Saying so, thedonkey began to bellow aloud. The washerman woke up buthe never suspected the presence of a thief because it was thedog that should indicate the thing. He thought the donkeydisturbed his sleep. He thrashed the donkey black and blue.Everyone as a Yoga-student, should mind his own dutieswithout finding fault in others. If you find something wrong inthe kitchen after I left the kitchen, it is not for you to point outor complain. You are expected to set things right silently, if youcan. This should be the attitude of the Yoga-student towardsthe society. Doing the work that is presented to you causescleaning and purification of your vehicle. It is the only procedurethat can cure you of your complexes. Doing your duty on thephysical plane is the only thing that can rectify everyone. If atall there exists any other method it can clean anything in theworld except the psychological complexes. When you take itas your duty to do the work, neglected by others, withoutcomplaining, then your vehicles are fit to undergo the Yogatraining.Doing something useful to the world is not for itsusefulness, but it is for your own benefit of self-purification.Benefit can be derived from anyone, not only yourself. Theone who is implemented to any good work will have the benefitof getting himself purified. If you do not propose to do it, someonedoes it better. If you choose to do it, you will be benefited.This is one aspect which the Yoga-student should take noticeof.The Second important thing to know is the Science ofthe three qualities and how they contribute to produce the variousblends in the name of temperaments. Inertia, dynamism andpoise are the three qualities that are produced by the basicnature of creation and they govern everything in the creation.
Lesson - 9 145These three qualities are bestowed by nature with the highestpower to control everything in creation, from the material planeto the highest spiritual plane, next to what we call the ninthnature. Except the ninth nature (the soul-light) and the tenthone (the lord of the Universe) all other planes of existence areunder the control of these three qualities. It is because the Devaswho work out these three qualities are the beings who presideover the construction of matter, the release of energy, and thefabrication of what we call mind, the background of the existenceof the individuals. Hence these three qualities mix up in infinitenumber of ratios to produce the various temperaments thatgovern the living beings.Each of us is given a temperament which is the arithmeticalresultant of a blend of these three qualities. They condition thefive senses and the mind and protect the individuals by bestowingthe characteristic behaviour of its own. The spell oftemperamental behaviour exists with you until you get theillumination of Samadhi. Then you are allowed to live beyondthe conditioning of these three qualities. Even then the qualitiescontinue to produce the tissues in your body and conduct thevital functions since your vehicles should continue to serveyou until it is time to drop off. You are expected to know thepurpose and the limitations of these three qualities so that youmay learn to live beyond them while, at the same time, cooperatingwith them. As long as the reaction of the mind andthe senses to the environment exists there is the expression ofthe temperamental behaviour. No equilibrium can exist amongthese three qualities as long as you live in the not-self. If theinertia dominates, you live in lethargy and you do not feel likedoing what is expected of you. Impulsions of nature make thingscompulsory and you have to live in bondage and your workin this world becomes compulsory to you. At every step youare driven to do and you live in bondage.
