Chapter 9 - Raja Vidya Raja Guhya Yoga

 

Shri Bhagawan Uvaca:

 

Verse 1-10

 

Air cannot exist without space. But it cannot touch space. It cannot affect it. Similarly, any idea comes within the boundaries of consciousness. They all exist in ME, but I am not bounded by them. Every creature or living being exist in ME. Yet they do not affect ME (consciousness). Now we are talking about Nirgun and Sagun brahman. Nirgun and Sagun brahman are not separate.

 

The idea is mine, but I am not that. Therefore, I am telling you that this cannot be understood easily, this knowledge is hidden. This is not obvious. All four elements exist in sky. When we move away from physical to spiritual thinking, then we understand that everything exist in Brahman.

 

Two aspects of Brahman:

 

Knowing (consciousness)

 

Intent (dynamic force, doing, creating). Without this dynamic force, Srishti will not be created. This cannot bind ME like Sky is not binded by air. Once you know that, then you will not return to this earth.

 

Verse 11

 

When you get entangled in this sansar, you do not see your True Nature. Avatar comes from up to down. When we move from down towards up by purifying the impurities of mind, then we move beyond the three gunnas. Whereas Bhagawan when HE takes the form of a human being, HE comes with full power.

 

Rama avatar had a purpose to bring Maryada and to kill Ravana. He never breaks the human form of Maryada. But He comes with full power.

 

Even when I present Myself in human form, people do not recognize ME, because they are entangled in this sansar. This sansar exist during a day of Brahma. When night comes then this sansar does not exist.

 

Earth’s calendar is related to Sun. Kaliyuga, Satyuga are all calculated based on different planets.

 

Evolution theory – after accidental change, the form of a living being changes.

Bhagavad Gita – Chapter 9 – Raja Vidya Raja Guhya Yoga 

 

Sri Bhagawan Uvaca:

 

Verse 11-19

 

Decision maker is atma. The owner is atma. If atma has taken the form of ahankara then ahankara is the owner. Atma is in what form (Swaroop) will determine the ownership of that form.

 

 

• Adwait – there is no two forms. In Dwait, I and Brahman are separate. Owner is always atma. But a person will get the results based on the type of karma associated with the form of atma.

 

• Shiva + Shakti (Parvati) has the same source. Ice and water are the same. But their qualities are different.

 

• Atma under the guidance of moha (attachment) – is me. When I am under the influence of Moha, you do not see my Brahama Swaroop form.

 

• Jivatma = Cit + Atma

 

• Bhagawan = All Cits + Atma

 

 

All knowledge is present in this Brahmand (all Cits). When a person has identified himself/herself with this physical world, then they cannot understand my divine Swaroop. Cit has memory. It is attached to the value. Then, it attaches to a belief system and attaches to the dharma.

 

 

• Cit is a collection of samskara of current and previous births. When Cit is full of vasanas, the strength of vasanas increases. This is what we call it ignorance. The person is under the influence of ahankara.

 

• The degree of ahankara is different with different person. When level of vasanas is low, the person starts identifying less with ahankara.

 

• Atma is purified as the surrounding becomes clearer.

 

 

Bhagawan Shri Krishna is saying that everything is created due to maya. 

 

 

• When maya is dense, then level of Atma will project it more in ahankara form. In spirituality, we say that all diversity exists from Unity.

 

• Shiva shakti is projected into different form in this universe according to the bhava of an individual.

 

• Our body is also made-up of carbon, but I can sing. But coke cannot sing because it is not Chaitanya. I am aware of consciousness. The intensity of ahankara defines the Asuri and Suri nature of human being.

 

• So, what can I do? We can work towards the purification of Cit. Atma starts reaching towards Mahatma.

 

 

Bhagawan is saying that I am the rain; I am the heat; I am the birth; I am the death. Ganga – Gyan. The complete knowledge must be given slowly. The spiritual knowledge must be parted according to the level/preparation of an individual to receive that knowledge.

Bhagavad Gita – Chapter 9 – Raja Vidya Raja Guhya Yoga 

 

Sri Bhagawan Uvaca:

 

Verse 20-34

 

Prarabdha, Sanchit and Agami Karma are difficult to remove. There is a hope to change the course from papa karma to punya karma.

 

 

• Dharma is based on the responsibility of a role and search for the ultimate truth.

 

• Dharma is for seekers who are looking to find the ultimate TRUTH.

 

• Religion is for followers. Their actions are driven by the desires, and it is justified based on rules and intellect (budhi) is destroyed.

 

• Seekers can grow. Intellect allows you to grow. This role changes the personality of the seeker. Spirituality allows you to ask questions because this is the nature of seekers.

 

 

Atm (identity) takes the role of Jivatma. At the time of death, what bhava was dominant that will attach you to that Lok swarga or narak.

 

 

• The Jivatma will be attached to that energy source till it takes re-birth.

 

• All three chakras below the Heart chakra are related to the external world, whereas the three chakras above the Heart chakra are related to spirituality – seeking the truth.

 

• When atm goes beyond the crown chakra it becomes Brahman from where there is no place to return. Whereas when a person is attached to the any color of rainbow (indra-dhanush,) its natural tendency is to move towards the white color, so it returns to the next form (next birth). This is how the cycle of birth and death continues until a person reaches brahman as a seeker to move beyond the Heart chakra one by one.
