61. He who meditates on the "reality" is a sanyasi; he is a yogi. The distinction of "Pariah" exists in the external. Internally, all is one without distinction. What is "Pariah" is not after death. A "Pariah" is he who has envy and pride; who holds vain discussion about religion; who talks ill of others behind their backs. Sewing is not stitching thread and cloth; but stitching Manas and Budhi, i.e., merging Manas in Budhi. Now the distinction of male and female; a true female is one who is merged in the external; a true male is one who is merged in the internal. One whose Budhi is firm is male; one whose Budhi is fickle is a female. This distinction of male and female is external only. Internally such a distinction does not exist at all. When the Manas and Budhi are merged in the Atman, one who is physically a woman becomes spiritually a "man".
62. The body is the cave. In this cave dwells the Atman. Atman, dwelling in the body, must attain "Moksha" (liberation). The outward bodily parts are various; in the invisible (subtle) all is one indivisible. OM is Pranava. Pranava pervades the form (body) . OM is bodylessness and formlessness.
63. Bhakti in the beginning, is selfish. After-wards, there is no selfishness in it. When a man attains perfection, the whole universe becomes to him, his guru.
64. What is called "Hatha Yoga" is selfishness. In Hatha yoga a man seeks his own goodness. He seeks fame; he can stop the sunrise of tomorrow; he can create a mountain of gold. To say "I am Brahma" is not just. "Thou (O God!) art ALL; ALL art thou", we must say. A yogi is one who thinks the whole universe to be a yogi. He should regard all as himself.
65. If a man goes to a forest and there lives in a cave, it is just like a beast in a cave. Even the milestones are better than such a man because by the milestones, we can count the distance in miles. Such people are of no use whatsoever. A thoughtful man should gradually go on renouncing the world. When a man eats food, it is for his own benefit. others are not benefitted by it. It is not enough if we leave darkness. We must. always live in the light. If we have a light on a dark path, we have no fear. There is fear in walking in darkness.
66. If you perform tapas for thousands of years with the desire for "results", it is of no avail. But if you perform tapas for one ghatika (twenty-four minutes) without any desire for "fruits", you will see ALL in God and God in ALL.
67. Hatha yoga is duality. The most excellent is Raja Yoga. No man should think he is the doer. Everything is ordained by the great Self. Salt is obtained from sea water. When it is mixed with water, it becomes one with it. Similarly, Maya springs from Paramatman and finally merges in him.
68. Vedanta means Prana (breath). To be entirely merged in Prana, is Vedanta. Vedanta is one indivisble. It is unbreakable. What is called Veda recitation is not from the tongue. Veda recitation should be from the throat. Those who know this secret are Brahmins. Veda is the one letter OM. It is the fire of inspiration. Vedanta is formless and changeless; indivisible. Light is caused by Veda. What is called Dharana in yoga is the real recitation of Veda.
69. Just as a tire of a bicycle is filled with air by a pump, the Nadis (nerves) should be filled with "Vedanta discrimination" (discrimination derived from the perusal of Vedanta). Prana should be raised to Brahma Randhra, the highest point in the brain. The nerves should be purified and such purification should be done step by step. Budhi and Manas should become one with Paramatman. You should play with him. You should sit in the upper story and look around downwards. Budhi's place is above. Budhi must become one with Jnana. You should always drink the water of eternal joy. You must be one with the nector of Ananda. You must know those who are always merged in this eternal joy. You should know the very secret of this Ananda. Truly, the Kundalini must be awakened. Just as we rock a child in a cradle, we should fix our attention in the head and examine what takes place there. Paramananda (supreme bliss), Sadananda (eternal bliss) are there in the head. Shiva Linga is also in the head which should be one.
70. When you rub a match to the side of a box, you obtain fire. You should cook everyday. You should avoid all distinctions. When the recipient is fit, he should be initiated. That man who has the power of discrimination should be initiated.
71. If food is given to a man who has no hunger, it will cause indigestion in him. Those whose belly is full have no hunger. Those who are well dressed feel the cold, the greater.
72. One must go to Kasi by train. One must reach the town of "Sivanandapuri". One must go to the country of "peace". One must stop his journey at "Brahmanandapuri".
73. A man must know himself; he who has conquered the mind is the man; he is the ascetic; he is the yogi; he sees the one Atman in all. Suppose you come into a dark room after wandering in the sun. What do you see? Look at the sun for five minutes and come into a dark room; you see nothing; this is as it ought to be. One must see with the inner (spiritual) eye.
74. A ripe fruit is very sweet to the taste. The same fruit when it is unripe is astringent. Both are produced by the same tree. The difference between the two is caused by time. As soon as a coconut is planted in the ground, it does not grow into a plant. First, it sprouts, then it becomes a plant and finally it becomes a tree. A tender coconut tree can be easily plucked from the ground. But a fully grown coconut tree cannot be easily plucked. So also, our mind must be unaffected, whatever people say to us or whatever they say about us; the mind must always be under our control. This is what a man must accomplish in life. This must be "the one object" in life. This a man must accomplish even if his head is to be struck off. We should give a blow with the mind itself, not with a cane or a hand or something. We should learn to tie a man without a rope. This is what a man should accomplish in life.
75. The mind is the seat of "sin"; it is the cause of action, good and bad. Mind is the cause of all these. If there is no mind there is no speech, without the mind, nothing can come and nothing can go. But for the mind, nothing can be accomplished. Suppose one knows how to speak english but he does not know how to write it; then we cannot say, he knows english fully. When he knows both, then only he can secure a passing grade in english.
76. Even a child, five years old knows that there is God; but the child does not know where God is. The sun sees all; but very few, one in a lakh or two, look at the sun. In this world, three-fourths of the people are fond of sexual pleasures like beasts. Even those who have reached the middle state, are less than one-fourth of the people. Good deeds are very few in this world. Evil deeds are many.
77. Swami is he who has united the Chit with Sat. Upadhi means the tree of peace. We must take shelter under this "tree of peace".
78. Those who are always one with the Brahman are the Brahmacharies. Such a man may even belong to a pariah caste. One does not become a "swami", by simply holding an ascetic's wand in hand or by holding a copy of the Bhagavad-geetha; nor by putting on red clothes; nor by discussing God with whomsoever he mets.
79. If gold is melted in fire, it shines with lustre; so also, one should purify oneself, killing desire and anger internally. By introspection, he should move internally. A man's mind never remains stationary.
80. However wicked a man may be, within five minutes his wickedness may be changed into goodness. So long as there are clouds, the sun's rays are not visible. As soon as the clouds scatter in all directions, the sun becomes visible. OM "the tower of peace"! OM "the form of peace"! OM! Salutation to OMKAR!
