hell he said highway to hell the full sleep that woke us up than last one holy company

so a mere show kinda says this whether you believe it or not I think this is the most important thing holy company company off remember he was he had the company of Swami Brahma Han and the Swami Siobhan and the many of the direct disciple Sri Ramakrishna he knew many people who were actually enlightened Jeevan Mukta he said once you meet such a person the reality of spiritual life cannot be denied once you see such a person even briefly also you will never forget it your whole life there is something extra the little boy
who saw the Buddha and asked what are you you can never forget such a person it has life-changing experience on you and the more you see such a person the more your life changes a deep impression and you will realize at the end of your lives that was the most valuable part of my life meeting those people the holy power of holy company Ashok Ramsey writes if such a person tells you God is real you are not the body not the mind you have an immortal soul it has a deep effect it convinces you it's some very profound level you feel convinced

so the power of a holy company that comes to a lot of good karma - a lot of good karma the blessings of meeting such people in our lives it changes our life, Shankar Acharya, he thinks that Satsang the company of the holy is the boat which takes us across the river of of samsara ocean of samsara alright

so these are the ten points no I took such a lot of time I thought I would take one hour but you have got ten how much time do we have yeah

so questions reactions tomorrow we'll do the Yoga Sutras comments all right if not I will tell a story I'll end this thing with the story two stories actually

so the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali there the whole text is attributed the whole of yoga tradition meditation becoming enlightened through meditation is attributed to hearin yoga literally it means the golden egg or the golden womb now different sources give different meanings and the it is mentioned in the Bhagavata Purana it's mentioned in a minute also and Yaakov al Qassam it
I think yes that this whole teaching of yoga comes from a great sage called here in the garbha in the Bhagavata Purana in Vedanta hidden a guru is identified with Brahma the creator of the world

so the stories like this you know the iconography Vishnu who is always a bit of a couch potato he's lying on the cosmic serpent Shoshanna gaw the cosmic said it's depicted as a thousand hooded enormous serpent and on the coils of that serpent Vishnu is lying on it is eternal sleep but is not sleeping he's dreaming and his dream is the universe

so the first thing that happens when the universe is

Raja Yoga: The Path of Meditation (Part 10) | Swami Sarvapriyananda

created which is created many times, again and again, the whole universe goes through cycles of creation existence and it disappears again switched trees 3t Liya HT is not really the creation projection it's already there like a movie show yeah that's a good example in a movie theater the same movie is shown several times

so it's projected and it goes on for some time then switched off but it's still there the film is still there and it's projected again and in plays and switched off now like that when it first the universe is projected the first emanation first creation first of the guards to come is Bramha

so you know the iconography a Lotus blooms in the navel of Vishnu and on the Lotus is sitting Brahma that's how it is shown Mundaka Upanishad Brahma mahad a Varnum pretermit sambar who the choice Jakarta who Venecia Gupta Mundaka Upanishad begins with this of all the day without that the gods Brahma was the first to emerge the creator the constructor of the universe in see that but that doesn't God create the universe yes Vishnu does create the universe but he sort of outsources it to Brahma because he is lazy she tells Brahma now you do it I want a universe like this

Raja Yoga: The Path of Meditation (Part 10) | Swami Sarvapriyananda

so broom mine emerges from Vishnu and he's supposed to create the universe but at first, the story is that Brahma is called here another book that first, the story is that Brahma doesn't know where am I Who am I what is this what's happening nothing is there the universe is not there he's not even aware of the existence of god Vishnu

Raja Yoga: The Path of Meditation (Part 10) | Swami Sarvapriyananda

so what does he do the story not about Wornall story is Brahma then closes his eyes here in Aqaba closes his eyes and sits in the meditation, of course, he has eyes old stuff

so he sits in meditation and which is inward concentrated mind he immediately realizes he has the vision of Vishnu his source from which he has come and yet everything is revealed to him

so that's the beginning of yoga that's the story that's the beginning of yoga

so he is the one who discovers yoga meditation with by meditation, he realized everything he was enlightened

Raja Yoga: The Path of Meditation (Part 10) | Swami Sarvapriyananda

so he passes it down that's why some of the old texts this meditation path of meditation is called people are called followers of hidden nature by red mother Susan Saraswathi writing about Yogi's but the word he uses is not Patanjali yogi or yogi he says the follow-up for the followers of
