THE STORY OF SAINT NARADA AND HOW VALMIKI THE MURDERER BECAME A SAINT - A KARMA CLEANING PROCESS OF MEDITATION WITH REGARD TO SUTRA 41 OF THE FIRST BOOK OF THE YOGA SUTRAS OF PATANJALI
The energy flowing down from above, from the chakras above the head, becomes so intense that we begin to access, "Prajna Paramita" or the highest Truth and to live from that Highest Truth in the Chakras above the Head.
The body is ignored so that although we feel it, its as if it is not so important as, "That Energy of God in Which we Live".
This is what happens in Samadhi.
This is the story of a wicked person called Valmiki as described in Sutra 33 of Book One of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali but now, further on applied to Sutra 41.
I'll be talking about, commenting upon, Sutra 41 and those sutras which follow at the end of this teaching tale which is applicable to every student of meditation.

YOGA SUTRAS OF PATANJALI COMMENTARY BY SATCHIDANAND
http://www.energyenhancement.org/patan.htm
Valmiki was so bad that he used to murder everyone and then take their fingers and put them in a necklace around his neck. Yet this murderer was special because over many lifetimes he had developed special qualities, the qualities of a student.
As Lord Krishna says in the Bhagavad Gita, that he is the energy behind that which is the best, the most highly developed talents of humanity. "Of all the gamblers, I am the best" he says, so even the bad qualities have to be developed. And here is Valmiki, the best murderer!
LORD KRISHNA - THE HIGHER SELF WITH HIS FLUTE OF THE ANTAHKARANA COLUMN OF ENERGY BETWEEN HEAVEN AND EARTH, "SHOWERING THE FLOWERS", THE ENERGY OF GOD, THE ENERGY OF CHANGE, ON THOSE BELOW..
In over one hundred lifetimes we have entered into every bad path available. We have done every bad thing. But we have also developed many talents through serendipity. We have grown. Now we need just that one touch to enable the change. As energy flows from higher energies to lower energies, just the presence of an Illuminated Saint can provide that needed touch. Talented students given the right motivation can achieve Illumination very quickly.
SACRED SAINTS CHANNEL THE ENERGY OF PURE LOVE - THE ENERGY OF CHANGE
Yes, Love is the Energy of Change.
The more Love, the More Change, the Faster the Change!!.
The more Trauma Formed Negative Karmic Mass, the more Karma Misery, the more Despair, the more the Change is needed.
Sage Narada was passing by, and as was his habit Valmiki the Murderer Thief accosted him and said,
"Hey, what do you have in your pockets?"
"Oh, I don't even have pockets, sir."
"What a wretched man. I've never seen a man with nothing. You must give me something, otherwise I won't spare your life."
Then Narada said, "All right, I will try to get something for you; but don't you think it's a sin to harm innocent people?"
"Oh you Swamis talk a lot about sin. You have no other business, but I have to maintain my wife, children and my house. If I just sit and think of virtue, our tummies are not going to be satisfied. I have to get money somehow, by hook or by crook."
IN OUR DAILY LIVES AND JOBS, WE ALL, EVERY ONE OF US, COLLABORATES WITH EVIL.
"Well, all right, do it. If that's your policy I don't mind. But you say that you must feed your wife and children by hook or by crook. You should know that it is a sin and you will have to face the reactions of it."
"Well, I don't bother about that."
"You may not bother, but since you are committing sins to provide for your wife and children, you'd better ask them whether they are willing to share the reactions of the sins also."
"Undoubtedly they will. My wife always says we are one and my children love me like anything, so naturally all I do for their sake will be shared by them."
"Well, maybe so but don't just tell me. Go find out for sure."
"Will you run away?"
"No."
"OK. You stay here, I will run there and find out."
So he ran to his house and asked, "Hey, this man asked me a funny question just now. He says that I am committing sins and certainly there's no doubt that. But I am doing it for your sake. When you share of the food, will you take a share of the sin.
The wife answered, "It is your duty as a husband and father to maintain us. It is immaterial to us how you do it. We are not responsible. We didn't ask you to commit sins. You could do some proper work to bring us food. Anyway, that's your business and your duty. We are not going to bother whether it's right or wrong. We won't take a share of your sins."
"My God! My beloved children, how about you?" "As Mommy says, Dad."
"What a dirty family. I thought you were going to share everything with me. You are going to share only the food and nothing else. I don't even want to see your faces!"
He ran back and fell at Narada's feet: "Swamiji, you have opened my eyes. What am I to do now?"
"Well, you have committed a lot of sins. You have to purge them all."
"Please tell me some way."
So Narada gave Valmiki mantra initiation for meditation. "All right. Can you repeat 'Rama, Rama'?"
"What's that? I've never heard of it; I'm just an illiterate person. I can't repeat it. Can you give me something easier?"
"Oh, what a pity. Let's see, look at this." He pointed at a tree. "What is it?"
"It's a mara (tree)."
"All right. Can you repeat it?" "Sure, that's easy."
"Fine. Sit in a quiet place and just go on repeating 'Mara mara mara.' "
"Is that all? That will save me from all my sins?"
"Certainly."
"Well, sir, I believe you. You have already enlightened me quite a lot.
You seem to be a good swami. I'll begin right here and now. I don't want to waste any time."
It is nice to be so innocent that you can believe, have sufficient faith to believe all this.
Yet it is true!!
"Come to me as little children" said the Christ.
The ability to be like that is a great talent. Yet it is a greater talent to be able to discern those people and things who you Can Trust!!
"To be Spiritual, you have to be lucky" Satchidanand
Yet it is not luck!!
So he just sat under a tree and went on repeating "mara, mara, ma ra ma rama, Rama Rama . . . "
See? Mara mara representing the tree Antahkarana soon became Rama Rama representing the realised Man.
He sat for years like that until at last an anthill was formed completely covering his body, all the ants biting him. All the little energy blockages bothering him.
Yes, because he was so deeply interested in that meditation, he forgot everything else.
The energy flowing down from above, from the chakras above the head, becomes so intense that we begin to access, "Prajna Paramita" or the highest Truth and to live from that highest Truth in the chakras above the head.
The body is ignored so that although we feel it, its as if it is not so important as "That Energy of God in Which we Live".
This is what happens in samadhi.
So after a long, long time somebody just passed and happened to disturb the anthill, break it apart and the Saint Valmiki just walked out.
Later he got the divine vision of Lord Rama's life and wrote the entire epic story of Ramayana. Even now you can read Valmiki's Ramayana.
What is to be learned from this story? He just concentrated on that mantram and forgot everything else. All the sins slowly dried up for want of nourishment and died away. If you do not pour water on your plant, what will happen? It will slowly wither and die. Our habits will also slowly wither and die away if we do not give them an opportunity to manifest. You need not fight to stop a habit. Just don't give it an opportunity to repeat itself. That's all you have to do. Any kind of habit can be easily removed this way. And that is possible by cultivating one proper habit. The mind must have something to hold on to, so you stick to one thing and all the other things die.
So, the Energy Enhancement Karma Cleaning Process, in this case only by using Meditation you can remove all your problems.
If we use more advanced techniques we can speed up this process. The Kundalini Kriyas. Alchemical VITRIOL. Access the the Soul Chakra. The Energy Enhancement Samyama Seven Step Process for removing Energy Blockages. With all this we can remove all those bad impressions fast!
Yoga Sutras of Patanjali Book One, Sutra 41. Kshina = totally weakened, waned or dwindled; vritter = modifications; abhijatasya = naturally pure; iva = like; maner = crystal; grahitri = knower; grahana = knowable; grahyeshu = knowledge; tatstha = similar; tadanjanata = taking the color of; samapattih = samadhi or balanced state.
Just as the naturally pure crystal assumes shapes and colors of objects placed near it, so the Yogi's mind, with its totally weakened energy blockage modifications, becomes clear and balanced and attains the state devoid of differentiation between knower, knowable and knowledge. This culmination of meditation is samadhi.
"The mind of the Yogi with its totally weakened energy blockage modifications," means that he has cultivated the one thought form of the chakras above the head ending in God so as to purify all others.
When you cultivate that One alone, all the other energy blockage impressions become weaker, purified, refined.
To give a physical example, if you concentrate on the development of the brain alone, you are apt to ignore the other parts of the body.
There is a story by H. G. Wells where the future generation is described as having only a big head with little limbs like the roots of a potato. Because they did not use them, there would be no need for them. They, just think, "I must have food," and the food comes. No need even to use a hand to flip a switch, because the switch will be activated by thought. In fact science is devising cars now where you sit in the car and say, "All right, start. Go ahead. Be quick. Hold on. Stop." And even that seems to be unnecessary now that they have printed circuits.
If you want to go to Boston, take the Boston card, put it into the car's computer, sit quietly and soon you are in Boston! All you will have to do is buy those cards. Wherever you want to go, put the card into the machine and just do anything you want in the car — talk business, chat or watch television. Then the car will remind you, "Sir, we are in Boston." That's all. No part of the body is put into use; so it will slowly reduce in size.
That is not only true of the physical body, the same is true of the mind. If you develop one idea through constant meditation, all other thoughts and desires will gradually die away. In our daily lives we see that. If you are interested in someone you think of that one day and night. If you open a book, your mind will not go into the subject but instead will think of that person. You will gradually lose interest in all other people and things.
Now to talk about Sutra 42, "...the mind of the Yogi with its totally dwindled or removed energy blockage modifications attains . . . a state in which there can be no differentiation between the knower, knowable and knowledge."
The Yogi whose vrittis or energy blockages have thus become powerless by the cultivation of THE ONE ceases to distinguish between the knower, knowable and knowledge (or meditator, meditated upon and meditation).
In meditation you are conscious of all three — subject, object and process of meditation.
But at this point, moving into Samadhi, the three become one; either the object becomes subject or subject becomes object. There is a merging, a fusion, of the Lower Chakras with the Higher Chakras.
Meditation naturally flows into Samadhi with the Light of ten thousand suns, and you become that sun through a process of fusion.
When nothing remains to prevent that process, all the seeds (Bija, energy blockages) have been burned, the we have Nirbija Samadhi, No blockage Samadhi or EnLightenment.
And when there is no subject-object separation, there is no process either. The mind is completely absorbed and loses itself in the idea or object of meditation.
The process of evolution continues towards a crystallisation of the Psychic functions.
Every thoughtform or talent needs to be purified of its negativity.
Using Alchemical symbolism, "The dross needs to be burnt off in order to purify the gold" "The more you heat it, the more it shines" - Alchemical Tamil Siddar, Thiruvalluvar. The high frequency energy of God, flowing in to you from the chakras above the head will do that.
When this has occurred then through the application of energy from the higher chakras, the psychic function or talent can become a hardened, aligned, crystalline structure which is more difficult to affect - it is impossible to place implant blockages in them for example - and because smaller, aligned, dense, much more efficient.
Patanjali gives the example of an object near a crystal. If you put a red flower near a crystal, the crystal itself appears to be red like the flower. It becomes one with that; it accepts that yet it is not changed by that.
Likewise, the mind accepts the idea of your meditation and takes that form.
So here there is Development in Samadhi and here Patanjali is giving us the process of that development.
Yoga Sutras of Patanjali Book One, Sutra 42. The samadhi in which name, form and knowledge of them is mixed is called savitarka samadhi, or samadhi with deliberation.
Yoga Sutras of Patanjali Book One, Sutra 43. When the memory is well purified, the knowledge of the ONE object of concentration shines alone, devoid of the distinction of name and quality. This is nirvitarka samadhi, or samadhi without deliberation.
Yoga Sutras of Patanjali Book One, Sutra 44. In the same way, savichara (reflective) and nirvichara (super or non reflective) samadhis, are explained.
We normally transmute blockages without any feedback, however, if we need to know something, if we need to be taught something, to reflect on it, then we usually receive visions of what happened to create the blockage in the first place.
Yoga Sutras of Patanjali Book One, Sutra 45. The subtlety of possible objects of concentration ends only at the undefinable.
Objects of Concentration are Energy Blockages.
Yoga Sutras of Patanjali Book One, Sutra 46. All these samadhis are sabija (with seed or Energy Blockage), which could bring one back into bondage or mental disturbance.
Yoga Sutras of Patanjali Book One, Sutra 47. In the purity of nirvichara samadhi, the supreme Self shines.
The Central Spiritual Sun.. "Brighter than 10,000 Suns it shines alone"
Yoga Sutras of Patanjali Book One, Sutra 48. This is ritambhara prajna, or the absolute true consciousness.
Prajna, usually translated as wisdom, here is Revealed!! as the energy from chakras above the head, chit shakti!!
Yoga Sutras of Patanjali Book One, Sutra 49. Sruta = (heard) study of scriptures; anumana = inference; prajnabhyam = from the knowledge; anya = totally different; vishaya visesha = special truth; arfhafvaf = cognition of.
This special truth is totally different from knowledge gained by hearing, study of scripture or inference.
When you achieve that ritambhara prajna you understand everything without study.
Swami Satchidananda said that one day I would be able to understand everything just by looking at it.
He said that he himself did not know where his words came from when he was talking. "I just sit back and listen with amazement to what is being said whilst my mouth does the talking" This is the amazing truth of ritambhara prajna.
The "Prajna Paramita" from the Heart Sutra chanted by Zen Buddhists for hundreds of years, are the words of the Buddha about meditation where he says that, "All Sages and Saints for thousands of years Live from Prajna Paramita" or the Highest Wisdom chakras above the head.
Founded in the Earth the highest saints realise the higher chakras above the head as they explore and clean the antahkarana.
With more super computer chakra parallel processors working from above the head this ritambhara prajna is the result - And More!!
When you transcend the mind through proper concentration, you feel the Cosmic Force or God. I call it, "Intelligent Energy" - chit shakti, You can check your experience with the scriptures or through the word of sages and saints but it is known by you through your own experience.
Until then all you have heard and read and visualized will be by your own mind. Experiencing God is something which is genuine and comes only when you transcend the mind. God cannot be understood by the mind because mind is matter and matter cannot possibly understand something more subtle than matter.
Western psychology talks only about the mind, saying, "Unless you understand by your mind you can't know something," and at the same time it says, "but you cannot know everything by the mind."
That is all; it stops there.
But Yoga tells you you can know something without mind. . here is a higher knowledge which can only be understood without the mind. As the Mandukya Upanishad says, "Nantah-prajnyam, na bahis prajnyam, nobhayatah-prajnyam, na prajnyana-ghanam, na prajnyam, naprajnyam ... Not the inside knowledge, not outside knowledge, not knowledge itself, not ignorance..."
It's all expressed in the negative: you can't grasp it, you can't think of it, you can't mark it with a symbol, it has no name or form and you can't explain it. Hundreds of people might sit in front of a man and he might talk for hours and hours about God, and they might sit and listen for hours and hours but it's all nonsense.
Yes, he has said nothing about God and they have heard nothing about God. He has only said something about the God which he could fit into his own mind, and they have only understood the God that they could grasp with their own minds. That's all. Nobody has said anything about the real God and no one has understood the real God. It's unexplainable.
So in that ritambhara prajna you transcend the mind and gain a knowledge which is realization.
For that the mind must be completely silent as it is only that absence of vrittis which allows the intelligent energy to pass through into the purified mind to be decoded.
That is why in Hindu mythology there is one form of God called Dakshinamoorthi who sat with four disciples in front of him. They were all learned men; they had read all the Vedas and Upanishads and heard all that was to be heard but they still couldn't realize the truth.
So they came to Dakshinamoorthi and requested him to explain the highest Brahman (the unmanifested God). He just sat there in silence. After awhile they got up, bowed down and said, "Swami, we have understood," and went away. Because only in silence can it be explained: Mouna vakya Prakratitha Parabrahma fattvam...The Parabrahma tattvam or unmanifested supreme principle can only be explained by silence, not by words."
In not only the physical silence, but in the real mental silence, the wisdom dawns.
Yoga Sutras of Patanjali Book One, Sutra 50. The impression produced by this samadhi wipes out all other impressions (Energy Blockages).
Yoga Sutras of Patanjali Book One, Sutra 51. When even this impression is wiped out, every impression is totally wiped out and there is nirbija (seedless or Energy Blockageless) samadhi.
