Gran manera de llevar a cabo sadhana

Baba

Gran manera de llevar a cabo sadhana

Namaskar,

Éramos tres junto con el Amado Baba. Baba nos estaba enseñando cómo manejar la sadhana y la vida espiritual mientras se mantiene la existencia familiar. Este fue un gran problema en esos días. Eran alrededor de las 22:00 PM de una noche de primavera (phalguna).

Baba dijo que en el pasado los yoguis dejaban la sociedad y la familia, y se alejaban de su pueblo y aldea y vivían en los Himalayas, donde hacían largas prácticas de sadhana y dhyana, etc.

Lugar aislado debajo de un árbol o en un campo


Baba estaba diciendo que, naturalmente, el público en general piensa que la sadhana no es posible mientras se mantiene una vida familiar y se vive en la casa. Y dijo que dejar la sociedad y la familia no es práctico. Nuestro proceso de sadhana de Ananda Marga es fácil; Puedes hacerlo en cualquier lugar. No hay necesidad de ir al Himalaya.

Baba continuó. Por ejemplo, no es tan difícil salir de la casa y sentarse en un lugar solitario cercano. Hacer sadhana en cualquier lugar aislado debajo de un árbol o en un campo o en cualquier lugar natural será mucho mejor que hacer meditación en la casa. Y si es de noche, no es necesario buscar en ningún lugar especial, porque durante la noche hay muchos lugares solitarios y oscuros.

Baba enfatizó que el lugar seguramente debería estar un poco aislado, limpio y con mucho aire fresco. Estar en un ambiente al aire libre permite más oxígeno y eso ayuda mucho en la concentración. El aire viciado dentro de la casa invita a la somnolencia y hace que uno se duerma en la sadhana. Así que el aire fresco y el oxígeno son elementos importantes para hacer sadhana al aire libre. Y lo más importante, cualquier lugar que se seleccione, debe estar lejos de la casa y de cualquier pequeña interrupción que pueda ocurrir. Estos fueron las guías clave que Baba estableció. Baba concluyó diciendo que de esa manera entonces mejorará la calidad de la sadhana.

La sadhana exterior es mucho mejor que la interior

Después de reflexionar sobre esta historia de Baba, cambié mi enfoque. Ahora, cada vez que tengo tiempo, salgo de mi casa para practicar mi sadhana. Solo enfrento dificultades cuando está lloviendo a cántaros. De lo contrario, me gusta salir. Y siempre encuentro que la sadhana es mucho mejor afuera en comparación con practicar sadhana en la casa donde siempre hay interrupciones y disturbios.

Incluso si mi casa está en silencio, mi mente se distrae de mi sadhana, especialmente cuando abro los ojos y miro hacia mis libros, archivos y artículos personales. Mientras que, en un campo solitario fuera y lejos de la casa, tales obstrucciones no existen.

A veces, cuando encuentro que ir a un lugar más aislado es difícil, simplemente me siento detrás de la casa, etc. Porque estar afuera es mucho mejor que estar adentro con todas esas distracciones.

Absorto en la meditación y olvídate del tiempo

Con cada paso encontré que mi concentración mejoraba y el flujo devocional en la sadhana se realzaba, por la gracia de Baba.

En general, la sadhana fue mucho más fácil porque cuando la mente está inquieta, simplemente sentarse en una postura y cerrar los ojos es difícil, mientras que cuando la sadhana es buena, el tiempo pasa rápidamente.

Hacer sadhana en el cementerio es lo mejor, pero cuando es difícil ir allí, voy a cualquier otro lugar propicio fuera de la casa. Puede ser un campo desierto, o una pequeña área boscosa, o algún lugar en un entorno natural sin perturbaciones humanas. Todos esos lugares son muy buenos.

El único problema al que me enfrento es que les digo a los miembros de mi familia que saldré a hacer sadhana durante media hora más o menos, pero siempre llego muy tarde. A veces 1 hora de retraso, a veces dos y, a veces, incluso 3 horas de retraso. La razón es que por la gracia de Baba me absorbo en mi meditación y me olvido de la hora. Luego, los miembros de mi familia se molestan porque me retrasé en tomar mi comida. Sin embargo, ahora se han habituado y ya no se preocupan si llego tarde, etc., sino que también salen a meditar en algunas ocasiones.

Cómo seleccionar tu lugar

Hacer sadhana en un ambiente propicio es muy importante. Algunas perturbaciones que surgen en una familia colectiva y/o entorno de convivencia familiar conjunta incluyen: el ruido de la televisión o la radio, etc., los olores que emanan de la cocina, las conversaciones generales entre los miembros de la familia, etc. En ese caso, es importante dejar el casa y hacer sadhana afuera.

Sin embargo, no bastará con ir a cualquier lugar al aire libre. Por ejemplo, si va a un parque local famoso o popular, encontrará todo tipo de problemas por parte de quienes lo visitan para jugar y hacer deporte, hacer un picnic, tocar un instrumento, etc. En ese caso, hay un pocas opciones, trate de ir a ese mismo parque fuera del horario de atención cuando no esté tan concurrido, como temprano en la mañana o en la última hora de la noche, etc. Durante la hora del almuerzo también puede estar tranquilo. Otra opción es buscar un lugar diferente que sea menos conocido, tal vez solo una pequeña porción de árboles en algún lugar, etc. No es necesario que sea un gran parque; cualquier ubicación simple puede funcionar. El factor clave es que la ubicación al aire libre debe ser un lugar aislado y tranquilo. Pero no necesariamente tiene que estar lejos del hogar. Lo mejor es encontrar un lugar local que esté cerca.

Una vez que haya seleccionado su lugar: (a) extienda su lona o tela para el suelo, (b) coloque su manta encima de la lona, (c) siéntese en la asana adecuada y (d) comience la sadhana.

En un resumen en español de  “Guide to Human Conduct”, Baba nos dice: Es deseable practicar varias lecciones de sadhana solo, en un lugar solitario. (resumen en español)

Conclusión


Un aspecto más que puedo decir es que antes de comenzar a hacer sadhana al aire libre, la gente de mi pueblo pensaba erróneamente que los Ananda Margiis no hacen puja en absoluto. Estaban pensando de esa manera porque los Ananda Margiis no participan en la adoración de ídolos relacionada con diferentes templos, mezquitas y rituales de la iglesia o pujas o ceremonias, es decir, Durga puja, Kali puja, Ganesha Puja, Shiva Puja, Sarasvati Puja, Laksmii puja, Rama Puja , Krsna Puja y cientos de rituales dogmáticos relacionados con dioses y diosas, etc. Así que la gente dogmática tenía la creencia de que los Ananda Margiis no hacen nada, y que podemos ser ateos.

Pero cuando comencé a hacer mi sadhana fuera del pueblo debajo de un árbol, los sentimientos negativos que tenían sobre Ananda Marga se desvanecieron porque a su manera pensaron: " los Ananda Margiis están haciendo algo, recordando a Dios".

Y en aquellas sociedades predominantemente materialistas donde el yoga se ha vuelto popular recientemente, si la gente sabe o ve que vas a hacer meditación al aire libre, pueden preguntar sobre el aprendizaje o, al menos, llegar a comprender que el yoga no se trata solo de torcer el cuerpo, sino que incluye la meditación.

Baba’s punishment + 5 more

Baba
Baba’s punishment

Namaskar,

Sadguru Baba states, “You are all my beloved sons and daughters. Sometimes I appear harsh to some. But that is for love. If I were indifferent, there would be no need for scolding or punishment...Leave all cares unto me. O be blessed.” (1)

Parents scold their own child because their own child depends on them 100%. And that scolding is done for the child’s all-round progress. But those parents do not take that same approach with their neighbors’ children. Parents do not scold the neighbors’ children because those kids do not depend on them.
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/


Meaning of Baba’s punishment

Similar is the case with Sadguru Baba. He did not scold ordinary sadhakas and non-margiis. And for those with 1% of bhakti, He scolded them less than 1%. Because such sadhakas depend on Him just 1%.

Ananda Marga Caryacarya states, “The quantum of punishment must not exceed the quantum of love.” (2)

In certain instances, Baba has limited scope to remove their filth and put such a sadhaka on a higher spiritual state quickly. Although Baba is impartial and treats everyone equally, when sadhakas have less bhakti they did not allow Baba to clean them quickly. The fastest and easiest way for Baba to clean their filth was to punish them. Yet Baba could not do that with those who had lesser bhakti. In that situation, Baba’s hands were tied. Alternatively, suppose a sadhaka has 90% bhakti then Guru’s responsibility increases. Because the bhakta is depending more on Guru to clean them. So He scolds them much more, for one reason or another.

Ananda Marga Caryacarya states, “The quantum of punishment must not exceed the quantum of love.” (3)


Why Baba punished some sadhakas more & others less

The fundamental idea is that a parent has a greater duty to their own child. If your own child does something bad then with affection and scolding you will try and bring the child onto the right path as soon as possible. Because your own child depends on you 100%. But if the neighbor’s child has a similar fault, you will follow a different protocol. You will not scold them.
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/

Those who were dependent and had surrendered fully to Baba received more scolding. Baba overlooked their good works and scolded them for their misdeeds. While those who could not surrender were not scolded. Baba overlooked their weakness and wrongdoing, and commented on their positive works saying, “Very good, very good.” Here the flaw was in the person who did not give full authority to Baba to clean them.

Ananda Marga Caryacarya states, “The quantum of punishment must not exceed the quantum of love.” (4)

Nowadays there is a myth in AMPS that really Baba's scolding was something terrible and that it should not be talked about. Some uninformed people think that those who faced Baba's form of va'madeva really made a horrible mistake. But that is not true. Actually, what they got was Baba's divine blessing. Because Baba can only punish those who already have a high degree of love for Him.

Parents scold their own child because their own child depends on them 100%. And that scolding is done for the child’s all-round progress. But those parents do not take that same approach with their neighbors’ children. Parents do not scold the neighbors’ children because those kids do not depend on them.
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/

Conclusion


The formula is very clear. Those fully dependent on Baba got more scolding. And after scolding, He showered more and more supreme affection and love upon the sadhaka. By seeing this, those watching dharma samiiksa did not feel jealous.

Suppose sadhaka A & B committed similar sins. Sadhaka A has 90% bhakti while sadhaka B has only 5%. Sadhaka A is depending fully on Parama Purusa Baba, and sadhaka B depended on Baba just a little. In this case, although sadhaka A did the same mistake, as a Guru, Baba takes a tough stand pointing out the defect of Mr A. Because sadhaka A has more surrender whereby Guru’s responsibility for sadhaka A increases. So He punished Mr A strongly for that mistake, in which case Baba will also shower great affection on Mr A after metting out the punishment.

Ananda Marga Caryacarya states, “The quantum of punishment must not exceed the quantum of love.” (5)

Later on Baba called sadhaka B and although sadhaka B did the same mistake as A, but because sadhaka B has very little surrender, then== Baba may overlook the matter and say, “You should follow the rules properly.” So Baba did not strongly punish Mr. B. But because Sadguru did not punish sadhaka B, He will not call sadhaka B close and shower His divine affection either. In the end, both bhakta A and sadhaka B are happy. Bhakta A is very happy because he got Guru’s supreme affection, and sadhaka B is happy because he was spared the scolding.
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/

In other words, we can say that those who have greater bhakti were entitled to more of Baba’s affection. To shower that affection, Baba used to punish them for one reason or another. And then He would shower His love. This was the only way otherwise people would have felt that Baba is partial. This was His divine liila and by this way He fulfilled the desire of the bhakta. The conclusion is that those who are great bhaktas got more punishment from Baba.

Ananda Marga Caryacarya states, “The quantum of punishment must not exceed the quantum of love.” (6)

In Him,
Sudha’ Sa’gar

Even now Baba loves & punishes His disciples


Today also one can experience the love and punishment of Sadguru. Shrii Shrii Anandamurti ji is Taraka Brahma. So He resides eternally in the heart. And His role is to love and punish and bring sadhakas towards their supreme destination. Earlier it was comparatively easy when He was using His Mahasambhuti form. Now it is a little more difficult as one has to do sadhana. But if one is very sincere in their spiritual practices, then surely they will get His unfathomable grace along with His punishment. When any sincere sadhaka goes against 16 Points then they will be rebuked and scolded by Sadguru. And this might get expressed in various ways such as undergoing an adverse reaction, being chastised by someone, contracting a disease, or facing some severe obstacle. By this way He does not allow a sadhaka to commit wrongs and brings them back onto the dharmic path.

Ananda Marga Caryacarya states, “The quantum of punishment must not exceed the quantum of love.” (7)

For instance, suppose a margii was very strict in taking sattvika food, and then on one occasion compromised and ate something tamasik. Then that sadhaka may undergo a violent reaction. Whereas if an ordinary citizen eats that same tamasik food then he might feel just fine. If one falls away from their dharmic conduct, then Sadguru helps you realise your mistake by punishing you. By this way, you are forced to again come on the path of righteousness. In all sorts of circumstances, sadhakas can feel His presence, i.e. His love and His scolding. And they feel that, “Sadguru is helping me.” When He was in His form of Mahasambhuti then it was comparatively easy to directly receive His scolding. Now one has to be more disciplined and communicate with Him in the mind.

All have committed sin in this life or previous life


In one of His discourses Baba repeated one Hindi phrase, Koi hiira’ chor, koi khiira’ chor. The sense is that all are thieves - some have stolen something meagre while others have stolen costly jewels. In that discourse, Baba says that you will not find any human being who has not committed any sin. All have done some type of sin, knowingly or unknowingly. In spite of knowing everyone’s present, past, and future, all the sins they have done and will do, Baba ignored many people’s wrongdoings and punished a few severely for their misdeeds. The reason has been explained above. The central idea is that Baba has more responsibility towards those who depend more on Him. So He punishes them more and loves them more also.
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/

Ananda Marga Caryacarya states, “The quantum of punishment must not exceed the quantum of love.” (9)

Those who experienced His va'madeva form really got His special blessing. Because He only scolds those who are fully depending on Him. And still this liila is going on. It is not that stories should only be written about those sweet experiences with Baba. Also those who faced His scolding should also come forward and share their tales.

Coming for worldly boons


A few may wonder what was the need for Baba to pretend to "harshly" scold others. Why could He not have said everything in a kind and gentle manner. The reply is that in those days word was spreading fast how Baba was the all-knowing, omnipotent God and could save any situation. Hearing thus, many new people / onlookers were intrigued and wanted to attend Baba's darshan for their own material gain etc. They had a type of superficial curiosity and were coming for worldly boons, i.e. to get their mundane problems solved.

So they were not coming out of genuine devotional longing for Parama Purusa and emancipation. This crowd of lookers made it difficult for Sadguru Baba to attend to His many works, plans, and projects. In response, Baba exhibited His feigned fury, or va'madeva form.

Ananda Marga Caryacarya states, “The quantum of punishment must not exceed the quantum of love.” (10)

By drama of punishing Baba cured serious chronic disease


The secret behind Baba’s scolding is that He was removing the sin, curing their chronic diseases, shedding the samskaras of those sadhakas and quickly placing them in a higher spiritual state. On the outside it looked like Baba was mercilessly scolding the bhakta. But internally something vastly different was going on that was only known to Sadguru Baba and the bhakta. All those watching had no idea. If everyone understood that by scolding Baba was showering His blessing then the queue for scolding would have been very long. But Baba kept it a secret.

Dharma Samiiksa: Great example of Guru’s love & punishment


During dharma samiiks’a’, it was well known that thousands of margiis came before Sadguru Baba. They understood this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity so they stayed for weeks and months under difficult conditions in order to get His blessing in the form of punishment. In result, their diseases were cured, their sadhana improved exponentially, and the occasion continued on and on. Not everyone was allowed for dharma samiiksa; only select people involved in social service were chosen. In that case they were aware of Baba’s working style. Even then, some reached with great enthusiasm and attraction and some under pressure of circumstances. But in dharma samiiksa the same equation was in vogue: The degree to which one surrendered was in direct correspondence with the degree of His punishment and blessing.

Ananda Marga Caryacarya states, “The quantum of punishment must not exceed the quantum of love.” (11)

Mudras cure deafness


Note: If one deaf person arouses the feeling of bhakti listen to Sadguru’s discourses and spiritual teachings and meditates on either of His two mudrás (janusparsaha and varabhaya) then the deafness will be cured. 

Ananda Marga philosophy states, “If a deaf man sincerely wants to hear what the Sadguru is saying, the positive microvita radiated through these two mudrás are sure to help him – they will certainly help him....raising positive microvita from the lunar plexus to the occult plexus is called “krpá”. And raising them from the lunar plexus to the pinnacled point of human glory is called “karuńá”. Without krpá there cannot be karuńá, there cannot be any galloping jump. Raising negative microvita above the psycho-physical plexus is “rusti” or “risti”. You should always try to avoid rusti and always try to receive the glamour of krpá or karuńá.” (1)

Why useless dreams


Ananda Marga ideology states, "When certain impressions perceived by the sense organs, agitate the conscious mind and sensory or material thoughts are thereby vehemently awakened in the conscious mind, the nervous system, the crude receptacle of the Kámamaya Kośa and the mind itself becomes unsteady and restless. This leaves an impression on the cells that is short-lived or long-lasting depending on the degree of its intensity. Sometimes even a significant impression being compelled to give way to a newer one under the impact of some other sense-agitation or restlessness, loses its previously acquired permanence. In the sleep state, if a person's nerve-tissues are agitated due to some physical cause, often either as the result of this or on account of cerebral heat caused by some vehement thinking, the nerve cells also become tired and disturbed. Such agitations give rise in the mental sphere to desires similar to those impressions, accumulated in the nerve-cells. Thus the agitated citta (the sub-conscious mind) accepts as real the stream of thoughts arising from one or more such impressions. The crude organs having stopped functioning, the identical desire arising from the previously acquired desire, do not then seem to be imaginary but appear to be quite real. Such dreams often do not come true, for these are actually pure imaginations or a mere stringing together of different disjointed thoughts, a confused or inconsistent dream. Only those whose nerve tissues have become weak due to some ailments of the brain or head or to some protracted illness, or those whose digestive system are malfunctioning, generally experience such confused dreams, which we may call Sensual Dreams. These dreams, as I have already said, are the true reproduction of previously imagined objects or the disjointed expressions of previous thoughts. Excessive eating also gives rise to such dreams in a person. Those who have purity of thoughts and also restraint over their diet, are generally less susceptible to such dreams. Such dreams never occur during [deep] sleep.” (1)

How future humans will look - & why

Ananda Marga Ideology guides us, "I have also said that in the future the number of vrttis may further increase. The more complicated social life, family life, the realm of thought and the realm of intellect become, the more vrttis will develop. For example, the vrtti, cunningness, may be expressed in many more ways. To fulfil their desires, people will develop different types of cunningness which may become different vrttis in future. For example, the cunningness required to procure an object by devious means, the cunningness needed to give a promise knowing full well that one will never keep it, and the cunningness required to trick someone into believing that one did not tell a lie when in fact one did tell a lie, may all become separate vrttis in future.”

"Thus, in the future, as people’s thought processes become more complicated, many new vrttis will develop. The number of vrttis may not stay at fifty. Just imagine the situation that will arise in the future as a result of humanity’s ever increasing thirst for knowledge. To meet these developments the nerve cells and nerve fibres will have to become more complex. Consequently, the human cranium will become larger and the size of the head will increase. The hands and feet will become weaker and weaker and human beings may even lose the ability to walk. Today, the human toes have almost stopped functioning – in spiritual actions we have almost no use for them – whereas at one time, when we used to walk on four legs, we used our toes as much as our fingers. The front legs were used less and less, and were transformed into arms, and thus these days it has become almost impossible for us to crawl on all fours.”

“There was a time when humans would run on four legs, but today they cannot do that. After a time, children feel uncomfortable crawling around on all fours and try to walk on their hind legs. In the initial stages, when they try to stand up, they soon fall down. Again they stand up, again they fall down. When they finally develop the habit of standing on two legs, there are corresponding changes in the physical structure so that the use of their arms becomes less. In the future, the legs will be used less and less and the capacity to move on them will decrease. The arms will become thin, and the head will become abnormally large.” (1)

Psycho-economic exploitation is the root

   
   Prout philosophy states, “The exploited people are not even aware that they are being exploited. This is why it is easy to exploit them in the social sphere, then create inferiority complexes in their minds to keep them under prolonged administrative domination and perpetuate the exploitation. This is easily done by the cunning exploiters. And the tragedy is that the exploited mass do not try to understand – they cannot understand, and they even refuse to understand – that they are victims of exploitation. So this is more dangerous.”
   “When the exploitation takes place in economic sphere directly, the people easily understand it, but when the exploitation is perpetrated in the socio-economic sphere or the psycho-economic sphere, the situation becomes complicated. In the case of exploitation is the socio-economic sphere, the people raise a little murmur against the social exploitation, but they fail to take note of the economic exploitation which is the final result of such socio-economic exploitation. And in the case of psychoeconomic exploitation, the people feel a little aggrieved because they are being suppressed from the psychic point of view, but they are not aware that the ultimate result is also economic exploitation.”
   “As regards the psychic sphere, I can say this – there can be numerous modes of exploitation in the psychic sphere, and to comprehend all these, the people must be more educated and more intelligent.” (1)

Who remembers their past life


Ananda Marga philosophy states, "After death the disembodied mind floats in the vast space with its unexpressed saḿskáras. Later on, with the cooperation of the mutative principle, the disembodied mind finds a suitable physical base. The memory of its past life remains awake for approximately the first five years of its new life. Although the child remains in a new physical environment, mentally it continues to live the joys and sorrows of its previous life. That is why children sometimes laugh and cry in their sleep, and their mothers often think they are talking with God. In colloquial Bengali this is called deola kát́á. In actual fact this laughter and crying is nothing but the reappearance of past memories. To re-experience past events one does not need the cooperation of the old brain. The newly-born mind has not yet had time to build a close relationship with the new brain. The revival of experiences of past lives is what we call “extra-cerebral memory”, and is principally the task of the causal mind." (1)

Human culture is one


Prout philosophy states, "Culture is a vague term. It is the collective name for different expressions of life. People eat, enjoy hospitality, laugh on some occasions and shed tears on others, and thereby express life through various actions. The collective name of all these actions is culture."

"According to PROUT all of society has the same culture. There are local variations in the mode or state of cultural expression, but the expression is universal. While everybody eats, some eat by hand, others by stick and still others by spoon. Indian dance is based on Mudrá or dance postures, and European dance is based on rhythm, but they do not represent two different cultures."

"Local variations will diminish if there is a close blending between different groups of people, because this will create common customs. In Nepal there is a blending of Hindu and Buddhist customs. In Bengal there is a blending of Aryan and Dravidian customs. These local variations are called customs. Thus local modes of expression bearing local or group specialities are customs, but the expression itself is culture. Therefore it is a mistake to readjust boundaries on the basis of language and culture. Indian culture and the culture of the world are one and the same." (1)
