78 Lessons on The Yoga of PatanjaliThose who know the significance of these original texts in youcall the utterance of OM - ‘the eternal awareness’. In Sanskrit,it is called “Aksharam” meaning that which cannot be exhausted.To try to tune yourself with the awareness of the Eternity, is theprocess which is called “Japa” by Patanjali and others. Beforestarting the Japa, you have two items : the utterance and theperson uttering, included in you. While we are in the processof uttering, it is said that you begin to enter it and you will besublimated into it. Then there will be a lull of your existence inthe body, mind and senses. The awareness as the syllable livesin all your vehicles but your awareness does not live in thatawareness.Our objective plane has always three aspects. The person,who does it, the deed that is being done and the process ofdoing. The process of knowing also includes these three aspectsseparately when you are in the not-self. While reading a book,you are there, the book is there and the process of reading isthere. The understanding of these three aspects is called SpiritualGrammar. It is the process of constructing a sentence withthe subject, object and predicate out of the one syllable that isbeing uttered as I AM in everyone. Everything comes out ofthis differentiation, exists in the objective world as a triangleand merges again to the total absorption which we call theOM, the I AM of the Omnipresence. You see how the Masterssuggest the method of creating a Triangle with three personsliving in different countries to help humanity merging into the IAM of Omnipresence to live in it. All the Goodwill and WorldService organisations sponsored by the Masters of Wisdomhave these triangles and the Science of Triangles.While we start the utterance we will be in the non-selfand hence we have the three separately. After starting there isthe OM into which we are taken by the process of fusion. Thethree cease to exist and the one begins to exist. This one, OM,
Lesson - 5 79is therefore, the Eternal Awareness. Its experience admits us tonotice or to possess “No second thing”. A meditational passagein Sanskrit declares : “The All pervading is the One which admitsno second thing”. During this process you will find that no otherthing, nothing of your belongings will be left. This is, what Patanjalicalls “a total surrender”. It is called “Pranidhana” and the processis called Japa. Following this process by uttering OM with yourvoice and listening to your voice, you will make a total surrender.There are some accessories which will help you and makethe path smooth. The first thing is what they call “Devotion”.The second thing is called sustained effort. The first one is calledBhakti and the second one is called Sraddha in Sanskrit. Youshould help yourself (on the plane of the not-self) by puttingforth a sustained effort with a spirit of veneration. Wheneverthere is an attempt for regularity, there will be a spirit of monotonyproduced. You should know how to keep up regularity andeliminate monotony. Try to understand the difference betweena mathematician solving a problem and a computer solving aproblem. The first process is vital and the second process ismechanical. The first one is a conscious process and belongsto the plane of mind. The second process is unconscious to thevehicle though it is conscious to the Devas who work with thevehicle. The human beings (in fact all the biological beings) livewith the help of mind, while the Devas live with the help ofDharma or the properties of matter and energies. The Devashave no mind since they do not need it. Combinations of theseDevas produce a resultant effect which we call mind and theymake it the background of the biological beings to live in. Themind has the possibility of errors while Dharma has no suchpossibility. You know that the human calculations carry errors,while the machines do not, when properly fed. As the computeris working out a problem you can very easily understand thatmillions of Devas take part in it. At the same time the wholeprocess is unconscious to the machine. Since the training of
