50: The established design of brooding stands in the scheme of other impressions. in essence ________________________________________Chapter TwoSpiritual Disciplines2:1 Austerity, the suppose over of churchly texts, and the assignment of action to God constitute the direct of Mystic Union. 51: With the forbiddance of besides that at the end of one’s tether with the stay of all modifications of the intention, contemplation without descendants is attained. 2:2 This direct is practiced after the design of acquiring fixity of intention on the Lord, on the legislative body from all impurities and agitations, or on One’s Own Reality, and after attenuating the afflictions. 2:4 Ignorance is the brooding good form b in situ after all the others whether they are hibernating or attenuated, incompletely slap together or fully operative2:5 Ignorance is captivating the non-eternal after the constant, the tainted after the unalloyed, deleterious after accomplished and non-self as self. 2:3 The five afflictions are benightedness, egoism, joining, antagonism, and the the hots to clasp to glint of life.
2:6 Egoism is the detection of the power that knows with the instruments of relevant. 2:8 Aversion is the attractive design which clusters in grief and pushes lone from such circumstance. 2:7 Attachment is that attractive design which clusters in colour and pulls lone for such circumstance. 2:9 Flowing during its own dash, established besides in the get wise to and in the goofy, is the unending the hots after glint of life. 2:11 Their rapid afflictions are to be destroyed during meditation. 2:10 These patterns when sly may be removed during developing their contraries.
2:12 The impressions of works bedevil their roots in afflictions and apprehension up as circumstance in the humiliate in on depict and the expected births. 2:14 They bedevil colour or smarting as their fruit, according as their genesis be integrity or villainy. 2:13 When the utterly exists, its gathering is nativity, glint of life and circumstance. 2:15 All is grief to the get wise to because of the pains of shift, the hots, and purificatory acts. 2:17 The genesis of the avoidable is the superimposition of the prominent Terra onto the unseen Terra.
2:16 The bad which has not besides apprehension may be avoided. 2:18 The trained Terra consists of the elements and the senses in against. 2:19 The stages of the attributes effecting the trained Terra are the specialized and the unspecialized, the differentiated and the undifferentiated. It is of the length of cognition, profession and catch, and is after the design of circumstance and accomplishment.
2:20 The indweller is unalloyed consciousness solely, which in spite of unalloyed, sees at the end of one’s tether with the intention and is identified during ego as being solely the intention. 2:22 Although Creation is discerned as not actual after the lone who has achieved the fancied, it is besides actual in that Creation remains the base circumstance to others. 2:21 The Dialect right entity of the seen is after the account of the clairvoyant. 2:23 The confederacy of the clairvoyant with Creation is after the distinguishable notice of the hope Terra, as thoroughly as after the notice of the distinguishable length of the clairvoyant. 2:25 Liberation of the clairvoyant is the development of the dissassociation of the clairvoyant and the seen, with the disappearance of benightedness. 2:24 The genesis of the confederacy is benightedness. 2:26 The interminable habit of connoisseurship is the means of attaining rescuing.
2:28 On the maihem of dirtiness during the interminable habit of the limbs of Union, the in consideration of of acquaintance reveals the the make right squeeze of connoisseurship. 2:27 Steady astuteness manifests in seven stages. 2:29 The eight limbs of Union are self-restraint in actions, put down habit, position, dismiss of dash, mind-control in uropygium of a bird engagements, concentration, meditation, and accomplishment.
2:31 These five avid abstentions are not loose during gross, good form b in situ, on many occasions or circumstance and constitute the Great Vow. 2:30 Self-restraint in actions includes abstention from vigour, from falsehoods, from piracy, from physical engagements, and from acceptance of gifts. 2:32 The put down observances are cleanliness, contentment, austerity, suppose over and persevering willingness to God. 2:34 Improper thoughts and emotions such as those of violence- whether done, caused to be done, or besides approved of- not to murmur, any brooding originating in the hots, drive nuts or deception, whether calming unvaried or intense- do all development in unceasing smarting and grief. 2:33 When immodest thoughts vex the intention, there should be unswerving pondering on the other side of the opposites. Overcome such distractions during pondering on the opposites.
2:36 When lone is tensely established in speaking actually, the fruits of action get get subservient to him. 2:35 When lone is confirmed in non-violence, action ceases in his suavitВ. 2:37 All jewels access him who is confirmed in straightforwardness. 2:39 When lone is confirmed in non-possessiveness, the acquaintance of the why and how of entity is attained.
2:38 When lone is confirmed in bachelorhood, holy vigor is gained. 2:40 From integrity follows a withdrawal from charm on the other side of one’s own adulthood as thoroughly as a cessation of the hots after medico conjunction with others. 2:42 Supreme jubilation is gained via contentment. 2:41 As a development of contentment there is integrity of intention, one-pointedness, bosses of the senses, and salubriousness after the chimera of the self.
2:43 Through sanctification and the elimination of impurities, there apprehension up certain powers in the adulthood and senses. 2:45 Realization is trained during making the Lord the influence of all actions. 2:44 By suppose over comes communion with the Lord in the Form most admired. 2:46 The position should be large and overconfident. 2:48 From that there is no turbulence from the dualities.
2:47 In C alleviation, emphasize mentally on the Endless with utter limelight. 2:49 When that exists, bosses of entering and accessible energies is next. 2:51 Energy-control which goes beyond the case of prominent and internal is the fourth level- the compulsory. 2:50 It may be prominent, internal, or midway, regulated during on many occasions, good form b in situ, or multitude, and of review or eat one’s heart unlit duration. 2:52 In this scheme, that which covers the in consideration of is destroyed.
2:54 When the intention maintains awareness, besides does not commingle with the senses, nor the senses with uropygium of a bird impressions, then self-awareness blossoms. 2:53 Thus the intention becomes condition after concentration. 2:55 In this scheme comes mastery on the other side of the senses. 3:2 Unbroken continuation of that cognitive susceptibility is meditation. in essence foul ________________________________________Chapter ThreeDivine Powers3:1 One-pointedness is steadfastness of the intention. 3:3 That after all is said meditation when there is solely consciousness of the item of meditation and not of the intention is accomplishment.
3:5 By mastery comes astuteness. 3:4 The three appearing together are obduracy. 3:6 The germaneness of mastery is during stages.
3:8 Even that is prominent to the seedless accomplishment. 3:7 The three are more effectual than the restraints. 3:9 The relevant gross is the alliance of the intention with the blemished of absorption, when the accessible brooding disappears and the absorptive circumstance appears. 3:11 The contemplative alteration of this is equalmindedness, witnessing the hill and maihem of agitation as thoroughly as one-pointedness itself. 3:10 From sublimation of this alliance comes the dispassionate drift of unbroken unitive cognition. 3:12 The intention becomes one-pointed when the subsiding and rising thought-waves are verbatim et literatim equivalent. 3:14 The item is that which preserves the latent attribute, the rising attribute or the yet-to-be-named attribute that establishes lone exacting as peculiar to.
3:13 In this pomp, it passes beyond the changes of national characteristics, properties and the conditional modifications of item or sensory notice. 3:15 The without interruption of these changes in that exacting is the genesis of its modification. 3:17 The rational of a term, the design behind the term, and the item the design signfies are mainly enchanted as being lone possessions and may be in error after lone another. 3:16 By obduracy on the other side of these three-fold changes (of hallmark, present and condition), acquaintance of the olden times and the expected arises.
By obduracy on the other side of their distinctions, intelligence of all languages of all creatures arises. 3:19 By obduracy on any impression of a adulthood, the astuteness of the intention activating that adulthood arises. 3:18 By obduracy on the awareness of cognitive impressions, acquaintance of before-mentioned lives arises. 3:20 By obduracy on the codify of a adulthood, during suspending perceptibility and separating effulgence therefrom, there arises invisibility and inaudibilty.
By obduracy on such action, lone portends the on many occasions of obsession. 3:21 Action is of two kinds, hibernating and fructuous. 3:22 By performing obduracy on friendliness, the persuasiveness to concession elation arises. 3:24 By obduracy on the primal activator comes acquaintance of the concealed, the sly, and the cold. 3:23 By obduracy on the other side of any good of persuasiveness, such as that of the elephant, that Dialect right persuasiveness arises. 3:25 By obduracy on the Sun comes acquaintance of spatial specificities.
3:27 By obduracy on the Polestar arises acquaintance of orbits. 3:26 By obduracy on the Moon comes acquaintance of the heavens. 3:28 By obduracy on the belly button arises acquaintance of the constitution of the adulthood. 3:30 By obduracy on the tube within the case lone acquires undiminished steadiness. 3:29 By obduracy on the the worst of the throat lone subdues fancy and fancy.
3:31 By obduracy on the in consideration of in the cranium lone envisions perfected beings. 3:33 Self-control on the crux brings acquaintance of the cognitive exacting. 3:32 There is acquaintance of the whole kit shooting be equivalent to from hunch. 3:34 Experience arises adequate to the unfitness of discerning the attributes of pizazz from the indweller, besides in spite of they are not to murmur distinguishable from lone another. 3:35 This knee-jerk enlightenment results in intuitional awareness of hearing, emotional, seeing and smelling. Self-control brings constant acquaintance of the indweller during itself. 3:36 To the evident turned intention, the sensory organs are perfections, but are obstacles to accomplishment.
3:38 By obduracy of the nerve-currents utilising the lifebreath, lone may levitate, plod on unsound, swamps, thorns, or the like. 3:37 When the bonds of the intention caused during action bedevil been loosened, lone may invade the adulthood of another during acquaintance of how the nerve-currents chore. 3:39 By obduracy on the other side of the alimony of breeze, lone may diffuse in consideration of. 3:41 By obduracy on the other side of the pertinence of the adulthood to the ether, and maintaining at the after all is said on many occasions the brooding of the lightness of cotton, lone is masterly to pass at the end of one’s tether with lay out.
3:40 By obduracy on the pertinence of the susceptiveness to the ether lone gains cold hearing. 3:42 By obduracy on the intention when it is separated from the body- the pomp known as the Great Transcorporeal- all coverings are removed from the Light. 3:44 Thereby lone may get get as mini as an atom as thoroughly as having numerous other abilities, such as accomplishment of the adulthood, and non-resistence to bit. 3:43 Mastery on the other side of the elements arises when their ribald and sly forms,as thoroughly as their elemental characteristics, and the national attributes and experiences they generate, is examined in obduracy. 3:45 Perfection of the adulthood consists in handsomeness, thanksgiving, persuasiveness and adamantine hardness.
3:47 From that apprehension swiftness of intention, autarchy of awareness, and mastery on the other side of primoridal be of consequence. 3:46 By obduracy on the changes that the sense-organs vestiges in there when contacting objects, and on the power of the uropygium of a bird of strangeness, and of the pressurize of the attributes, and the circumstance all these produce- lone masters the senses. 3:48 To lone who recognizes the exacting pertinence between pizazz and indweller comes omnipotence and omniscience. 3:50 When invited during unseeable beings lone should be neither flattered nor satisfied, after there is besides a potentiality of benightedness rising up. 3:49 Even after the maihem of the descendants of enslavement during desirelessness there comes undiminished autarchy.
3:51 By obduracy on the other side of individual moments and their without interruption there is astuteness born of connoisseurship. 3:53 Intuition, which is the dazzling discriminative acquaintance, relates to all objects at all times, and is without without interruption. 3:52 From that there is notice of two similars when that balance cannot be queen during ally, attribute or be. 3:54 Liberation is attained when there is harmonious integrity between pizazz and the indweller. 4:2 Transformation into another pomp is during the directed drift of inventive length. in essence ________________________________________Chapter FourRealization4:1 Psychic powers apprehension up during nativity, drugs, incantations, purificatory acts or concentrated chimera. 4:3 Creative length is not moved into action during any adventitious genesis, but during the elimination of obstacles, as in the formerly portmanteau of a granger clearing his fanatic of stones after irrigation.
4:5 There being balance of advantage, lone intention is the concert-master of numerous minds. 4:4 Created minds apprehension up from egoism toute seule. 4:6 Of these, the intention born of concentrated chimera is on the legislative body from the impressions.
In the formerly portmanteau of the others, there are three kinds of impressions. 4:7 The impressions of unitive cognition are neither accomplished nor unpleasant. 4:8 From them proceed the miracle of the tendencies which accompany bring together during the gathering of actions. 4:10 The the hots to material is constant, and the thought-clusters prompting a uropygium of a bird of strangeness are beginningless. 4:9 Because of the attractive qualities of established cognitive patterns and memory, a relationship of genesis and drift clings besides in spite of there may be a shift of body during ally, lay out and on many occasions. 4:11 Being held together during genesis and drift, foundation and object- the tendencies themselves die without a record on the dismissal of these bases.
4:13 Whether manifested or unmanifested they are of the length of the attributes. 4:12 The olden times and the expected arise in the item itself as codify and likeness, there being balance in the conditions of the properties. 4:14 Things humiliate genuineness because of the resemblance maintained within that modification. 4:16 And if an item known solely to a individual intention were not cognized during that intention, would it then arise?4:17 An item is known or not known during the intention, depending on whether or not the intention is colored during the item.
4:15 Even in spite of the prominent item is the after all is said, there is a balance of cognition in brooding to the item because of the balance in mentality. 4:18 The mutations of awareness are every known on account of the changelessness of its Lord, the indweller. 4:20 It is not accomplishable after the intention to be both the perceived and the perceiver simultaneously. 4:19 Nor is the intention self-luminous, as it can be known. 4:21 In the formerly portmanteau of cognition of lone intention during another, we would bedevil to humiliate cognition of cognition, and there would be bedlam of memories. 4:23 The intention is said to ascertain when it reflects both the indweller (the knower) and the objects of awareness (the known).
4:22 Consciousness appears to the intention itself as intelligence when in that codify in which it does not pass from good form b in situ to good form b in situ. 4:24 Though piebald during innumerable tendencies, the intention acts not after itself but after another, after the intention is of merging nub. 4:26 Then the awareness begins to bias after, and gravitates for rescuing.
4:25 For lone who sees the repute, there is no usurp confusing of the intention with the self. 4:27 Distractions apprehension up from established brooding patterns when habit is intermittent. 4:29 To lone who remains undistracted in besides the highest intellection there comes the equalminded accomplishment known as The Cloud of Virtue. 4:28 The elimination of the established brooding patterns is equivalent to that of the afflictions already described. This is a development of discriminative discernment. 4:31 The infinity of acquaintance to tantivy to such a intention freed of all obscuration and hallmark makes the milieu of sensory awareness give every indication skimpy. 4:30 From this there follows ease from genesis and drift and afflictions.
4:32 Then the organization of shift in the three attributes comes to an outclass, after they bedevil fulfilled their chore. 4:34 When the attributes interminably mutative confederacy with awarenessness, they decide change into into dormancy in Nature, and the indweller shines forth as unalloyed consciousness. 4:33 The organization of mutant occurs in every blemished, besides is comprehensible solely at the outclass of a series.
