Lesson - 9 155as a pest to the society, feeding poison in the pool <strong>of</strong> commonmind in the name <strong>of</strong> my slogans. It is the consequence that ispossibble when I start Socialism living in the not - self. We donot want consequences; but we want sequences and they arepossible only with people who have been absorbed into theillumination <strong>of</strong> the Lord-consciousness in them that permits notimidity, no fraud and no covetedness. Sequence is natural andconsequence is something conditioned or cornered by the evilgenius <strong>of</strong> an individual, who lives in the not - self. You findsequence in the cycle <strong>of</strong> seasons and the splendours <strong>of</strong> thefauna and flora <strong>of</strong> the earth and this is all nature. What webring about with all our likes and dislikes, suppositions andoppositions, is a series <strong>of</strong> consequences that lead man awayfrom nature to live in his own shell that he is destined to explodesome day. <strong>The</strong> 18 minor scriptures (the Puranas) and the twomajor scriptures (Mahabharata and Bhagavatha) in Sanskritteach us about these triangles and about the <strong>Yoga</strong>-way <strong>of</strong> living.You know that the Bhagavadgita is only a part <strong>of</strong> the bigscripture, Maha Bharatha. <strong>The</strong>re is no scripture which doesnot include the discourses on the theories <strong>of</strong> the Socio-Economictriangle. After discussing everything about this triangle they speakabout the geometrical centre <strong>of</strong> the triangle which they call “<strong>The</strong>fourth way”. It is nothing but finding the equilibrium <strong>of</strong> existencein the society by finding it in one’s own life.“Liberation” is used as a false substitute <strong>of</strong> “<strong>The</strong> FourthWay”, the equilibrium. Many adepts in <strong>Yoga</strong> pointed out thatthe concept <strong>of</strong> liberation is false and that they do not want it. “Ido not mind being placed by you, O! Lord in Heaven, onEarth, or in Hell! I do not wish to demean myself by beggingliberation. It is enough if you keep me remember your presencein one and all” says Kulasekhara, a ruler <strong>of</strong> a south-IndianState who belonged to 8th century A. D.
