96 Lessons on The Yoga of PatanjaliI find the day too busy”. Unfortunately the day has only 24hours, partly to eat, partly to drink, partly to dance, partly toearn, partly to woo, partly to sleep, partly to spend the weekendat the end of which we are weakened. To be busy is adisease, to be active is health. This disease of developing theautosuggestion that we are busy is a great obstacle.A student remarked : “It is interesting to note perhapsthat lethargy is more with the orientals, while theautosuggestion of being busy is with the Occidentals”.Answer : “Precisely so. We can take these two obstaclesas the leading features of the orient and the Occident.The next obstacle is “illusion”. We understand something which is not there within the purview of Yoga. When peopleread that Madam Blavatsky received wisdom from her Masters,they began to receive messages from their own source whichthey called Masters. Today we find mediums who receivemessages and say “Master Morya asked me to eat eight applesa day”. This is because he received a message to that effect.His followers begin to eat apples and go sick. All this is calledspiritualism. Some people call it Theosophy, but Theosophy issomething different. Having illusions about Yoga practice leadsthem into many practices that do harm and waste away thelife.The ninth obstacle, last but not least, is as powerful asany one of these eight. It is “instability”. The practitioner hasnot yet experienced anything in his Yoga practice. “Had youany experiences this night? What is your experience? are thequestions that the colleagues of a Yoga school put to one another.Common sense tells us that Yoga is the way to lead life inperfection. People want to feel themselves by self-stupificationand self-mystification to find what they call experiences. Onesays “I have gone to the higher mental plane and I saw a golden

NowI can tell you to which ray I belong.” Like that people narratestories. After some time the shadows disappear and the interestin Yoga is lost. “We have tried Yoga for five years, we don’tfind anything in it, we stopped it”.So we see that there are nine types of obstacles whichare nothing but the aberrations of the mind in hide and seek,since the Lord-consciousness is not yet found. When onceyou get the touch of the Lord in you, then you stand aboveand beyond these obstacles. You will know what is trueand what is false, since you are standing in truth. As long asyou stand in falsehood you see truth also in its falseperspective. Truth is also an impression and nothing moreas long as you are in the not-self. Not-self is also a truephenomenon that can be absorbed into your real existencefrom the moment you stand in the Lord-consciousness.Even when there is some experience instability makesone stop this Yoga and try that Yoga. It is congenital instability,the ninth obstacle that makes us behave so. According to thescience of Homoeopathy congenital instability is due toinherited poisoning of tuberculosis or gonorrhoea. In the thirdgeneration the poisoning causes instability and crankishbehaviour. You should not try to fight it out mentally. Whiledoing so you begin to live with it. Utter OM, listen to it andsupplement devotion. Then the vehicles are gradually purifiedeven upto the gross physical vehicle. This is a fact whichHomoeopathy does not know, but it is a truth.Half of the syllabus is covered by now, the other halfis there to be given tomorrow. When you get a touch of theLord of the senses and the mind all these aberrations willdisappear. This is because “The Lord is not touched bythese things”.
