Another tutorial [for dyno’s] YAMA
Patanjali
Motto:
From Delight we came into existence.
In Delight we grow.
At the end of our journey’s close,
Into Delight we retire. – The Upanishads
So, we ended the cycle of the virtues that one should practice in order to be a normal MAN.
This is sort of bad news, meaning that unless we achieve those virtues we are ... subhumans (and not Superman or Catwoman).
So, we have (had) :
Ahimsa
Satya
Asteya
Brahmacharya
Aparigraha
Many talk about them but, just few do practice them.
And practice (Sadhana - साधना) is the moust important part in all this, otherwise we will have only impotent talks.
Yama (यम) is not reffered here like the god of death (the kkeper of the gate of the realm of death) but as virtues that one should achieve inorder to became a MAN.
In sanskrit OM (spelled AUM), wich is also the name of the highest spirit.
Also, this was not meant only to make some of us aware about those virtues but also to state clearely that this should be followed by a true man, a trusty person (especialy a „master”) who cease the „fruits” of he’s deeds in the favor of others.
Sure, this was hard to achieve in RL too (I told you before, the ancient Pataliputra kingdom with all that viharas was, as far as I know, the only succesfull experiment of this kind)and will be harder in eR (The Brigadier underlined it so well in the comment he made in the last article).
Nomatter that, important is that in some people we could entrust our eSouls and in others ... not such a good idea.
No big deal after all, isnt it ?
Just a common truth.
But very conected with what we are (here and RL too).
Toate cele bune !
Comments
first and last : D
You've been keeping things from me, Maniu...
When we talked about why I'd be incapable of achieving this you didn't mention the word MAN so many times. But now it's clear as to why I'll never be able to be the rose.
Fight for female empowerment to be the rose! \o/ : ))
Not Catwoman? Meh.... /me puts away the ears, whiskers and tail, and sulks 😞
impotent talks? i'm outta here
I always have this mixture of feelings reading your lines, my friend. In a way, I'm always excited when I find another article where you dare to touch our souls from a different and unconventional angle.
I say unconventional because, today, in this fast-and-furious times, talking about virtues is like explaining the beauty of music in front of a crowd of deaf people.
On the other hand, I'm sad as I am always when I'm watching a movie witch I don't want to end. Because you show us the cake and then you walk away before we even had time to taste it🙂
In both RL and erep, talking about the above package of virtues as a condition of making the perfect MAN(human) is pure political propaganda. At least this is how it's perceived by the facebook generation.
Why? Because the life and e-life has told them that in order to be a MAN is enough to have balls. That's all.
If this article would be made by me I am sure that the first questions in the comment area would be at least sarcastic like: "where do you want to candidate?" or even bad words because I dare again to shake their sand castle.
In a way I don't have the right to condemn them. Other guys, before me, like Hitler and Lenin proved, in practice that expressions like NEW MAN and perfect man were in fact pure bankruptcies for humanity and there are more successful role models out there, like Gutza and Eminem, which they better follow.
I know that I sound negative but, even here in Sweden, where I live, McDonald's has more customers than a bookstore.
Btw... I wonder... how many readers are looking at that rose from the picture and jump with their mind to things like Rosicrucianism and The Order of The Rose and how many are only thinking at a plain and borring plant?😃

impotent talks? i'm outta here ""
Why I'm not surprised?😃
@The Brigadier: aveti Gutza si in Suedia? : )
PS: eu zic sa fii fericit ca modelu e Eminem si nu Hitler...
Gutza e universal, optminustrei😃 Nu stiai?
Si da... trebuie sa ma multumesc cu ce mi se serveste pe masa... nu sub masa.
Dar asta nu ma impiedica sa vreau mai mult nu? Mai ales daca sunt un gurmand idealist si demodat. Cum zic unii tovarashi...
Sunt obligat sa iti dau dreptate insa... acestea sunt "discutii impotente" dar au devenit asa datorita unora care in loc sa gaseasca anumite solutii practice au preferat sa zica "i'm outta here".
stii vorba aia: fa ce face popa, nu ce zice popa. asa si eu zic "im outta here" da' uite ca vorbim aici, deci n-am plecat inca : ) plus ca doar am preluat formularea din articol..."practice (Sadhana - साधना) is the moust important part in all this, otherwise we will have only impotent talks."
PS: eu cand ma uit la trandafirul ala ma gandesc la: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petals_Around_the_Rose 8-3 zaruri fac o solutie, nu? : )
Dap... de acord. Acuma! 😃
Doar ca vezi tu... din primul comment nici macar Da Vinci cu creierul lui criptic nu ar fi inteles altceva🙂
Asa ca, data viitoare fie-ti mila si de noi muritorii de ran😛)
Deci ramine cum am stabilit: teoria-i sublima da' practica ne omoara😁
Despre practica si nici macar despre urmatoarea etapa, Niyama, nu cred ca face sens sa vorbim aici, tocmai pentru ca e un joc in care ei ne fura ce avem si noi ii lasam in ceata (corecta obiectia The Brigadier).
Cinic sau realist ?
"Fight for female empowerment to be the rose!"
This is a fight that worth the effort : )
Even if not bringing the hedonistic pleasure of life : D, and is bitter like the Jagermeister : )), it is worth fighting.
Factly, the fight for empoverement of all people to be The Rose is worth the effort ; )
"Cinic sau realist ? "
Eu as fi dorit sa fie realist. Dar mai pot sa fiu sigur si sa gasesc o logica la ceea ce simt?🙂
Poate ca nici nu mai conteaza prea mult.
PS. Eu totusi sper ca nu ai terminat definitiv cu subiectul asta. Ar fi pacat sa te opresti tocma acum cand am inceput sa ne incalzim🙂
noa, bine ca nu's rosii trandafirii
...daa'ce?le curge singele?i-a ranit cineva?
Da-l incolo de trandafir bleg! doar are spini,n-are decat sa se apere.
Si...il mai are si pe Micul Print.(cel al lui Saint-Exupery,vreau sa spun)
nimica nu te sti : ) io nu ziceam de PSD
ziceam de casa de York : D
nenea Maniu, trandafirii is de aia de tufa, dreptu-i? : P
