14 Lessons on The Yoga of Patanjaliwill find the person nearer. Before the Yoga-contact is madeeveryone lives in such a state of mental activity which is only areflection. The real activity of creation cannot be observed.Have a pause, a rest and a repose of the mind from this reflectedactivity. Then the mind will be able to compose itself into astate when it can find real activity. (It understands that it has anactivity of which the mind is belonging). This is the beginning ofYoga Practice. For this we should find a procedure that isscientific and infallible. That procedure is found in the book ofPatanjali.The lower self which is the not-self includes the mind,the senses, and their activity. It believes in faith sometimes andsometimes it disbelieves. It remains a sceptic for some years,some decades and sometimes during a whole span of life. Mindhas only two alternatives, to believe or to disbelieve. It means,either to believe in the higher awareness or to believe in thelower activity. Through some lives one believes that everythinghigher is false and nonsense. To him truth is only that we shouldeat when hungry, sleep when sleepy, work to get food, clothingand housing. Even this is a conditioned truth. Work is acceptedby him because he has to eat and clothe, himself. But for thesethings he finds no meaning in work. Activity is applied only tovocational, social, professional, physical and biological needs.Activity is made to serve these requirements just as the thumbis made useful to the other four fingers in daily work. Wakingtime is applied to the needs of the body. This is the sum-totalof all the thousands of vocations and professions that exist inthe world. Unless one makes a contact with the Yoga-plane ofconsciousness, he cannot find a better meaning to his activityand the various departments of life. When one is asked to thinkabout himself, he can think only about his needs and not himself.One believes that there is no more meaning to life other thancatering to these needs. When once the needs are catered to,
Lesson - 1 15there is no meaning for life. This is what is called scepticism oratheism. If you try to show the truth of a new science and itsapplication to a real sceptic he listens to it and says “What isthe earthly use of your science, when I have enough to cater tomy needs ?” The same fellow, after a time, loses all interest inlife. Then he may think that everything is predestined, fateful.Something is determined and written about us somewhere bysomeone who is not known to us. He may call him God orDevil, it makes no difference because he is not known. Whenone is afraid of, he calls it Devil. If one feels wishful of somebenevolence, he calls it God. So he drifts by trial and errorthrough births until he hits at the one thing which is correct.This is because of the fact that every one knows verylittle of what he calls his life, his span and his own. As I told youhis knowledge includes his environmental requirements. The datawith which he works is insufficient and the instruments (the fivesenses and the mind) are too narrow to make him know. Thephysical body is but the wooden cabinet to fit up the mind andfive senses. It contains some machines to feed the fuel and water,to excrete things not required and that is all. Just as the housecontains the store house, kitchen, bath room and the toilet, thebody contains a few apartments with some machinery. With thesenses we can see outside of us and not the inside. Besidesthey are neither self-propelled nor self-servicing. The mind isthe only instrument with which we can see outside and inside ofus. Outside, we have only a few things of which we need not goon knowing much. But they appear as the many things in whichwe get involved. This is the data with which the human being issent to the earth, the Garden of Eden. Children of God go roundThe Garden of Eden with trial and error methods, having alwaysthe risk of coming across the Tree of Knowledge, which is thecause of temptation and fall. Man does not know where theGarden is, how far it is and the way which he has to take to the
