a brief synopsis
yoga
is to surrender
the projections of the mind
then the true nature of the self manifests
otherwise there is identification with mental projections:
knowledge, delusion, concepts, fantasies, memories
when
mental projections diminish
till the mind is a jewel of crystalline saturation
subject, object and action interpenetrate
and the nature of the object is elucidated to its most subtle depths
passionate
enquiry into the source of personal action
constitutes the activity of yoga
which uncovers samadhi
and undermine the duality of seer and seen
the
seer exists in seeing by virtue of reaction to projection
for that reason alone does the seen exist
as long as any seer remain the seen remains
these two: subject and object
take their form only in relation to one another
that correlation is caused by ignorance
when ignorance dissolves
that correlation dissolves into otherlessness
the
limbs of yogapraxis dissolve restrictions
into the radiant wisdom of nondual awareness
its eight limbs are
yama , niyama
asana , pranayama , pratyahara
dharana , dhyana , samadhi
sensitivity, honesty, openness, intimacy, generosity
is yama
the universal virtue unlimited by any circumstance
integrity,
trust, passion, selfenquiry, selflessness
is niyama
joyful
steadiness free from tension
and manifesting the infinite beyond duality
is asana
within
asana, release of exhalation, inhalation and transition
into each other
through exhaustive elucidation
till they become unhindered and subtle
and the duality of the breath is transcended
uncovering the inner light
and initiating the mind into meditation
is pranayama
the senses releasing their objects
and losing power over the mind
is pratyahara
the mind in singular internal suspension
is dharana
the unravelling of a perception
is dhyana
apparent form radiating the singular significance of emptiness
is samadhi
dharana, dhyana and samadhi constitute meditation
when objectness has disappeared within onepointedness
the meditative mind is in unconditional samadhi
this undermines the imposed sense of self
as the projected play of perception and time cease
the Self and its objects being no longer significant
they dissolve into otherlessness
as consciousnessenergy is established
as the true nature of the self
