[6 Sauca] Another tutorial [with dyno’s]
Patanjali
Motto:
...
For that region is boundless and
Searching regards avoids
And Time strive vainly there to come
To life from the dark voids.
'Tis nought. 'Tis, though, thirst that sips him
And which he cannot shun,
'Tis depth unknown, comparable
To blind oblivion.
... – Luceafarul = Evening star – Mihai Eminescu (birthday celebration today)
Thanks to my friend, the flag bearer, we will continue this journey into an ancient indian philosophy (not a religion) and trying to find out what the rules are.
Those, especially because we do not talk about a religion, are very little related to the commandements and very oriented to a personal evolution, to the achievement of truth and freedom.
Sauca (शौच) is meaning Purity of one, as boady and mind too, because, you allready know, there is no simple thing in ancient indian conception of life and world. Still, I belive, they are very clear explained.
They are also related like in the old latin saying, Mens sana in corpore sano, meaning if you get to achieve one of them you are very near to achieve the other one too.
But, here, without a boady is hard to see (or smell) if someone is pure or ... filthy.
Not the same situation with the mind in eR.
Doing that we eliminate the mix of the other two stages (tamas and rajas) and the mixing of the tendencies of nature in order to allow us to see the true nature of world (and persons).
This also will tend to make us avoid the contact with the filthy (boadys and/or minds).
So to say, even if u live near bandits and whore you could achieve purity (harder but not imposible). Instead, if you live near pure persons the achievement will be much more easy.
Today, also, not a big obscured truth. Just a simple one, but deep.
Sure, this could also be twisted, the one who began to follow this rule could be mocked by those reffered before (tbg) and, factly it is.
Also, it is true that this will grow the determination of one to go further.
Ridendo castigat mores.
Toate cele bune !

first
But isn't purity one that can only be achieved by oneself and not over others influence? You say its harder to achieve it with purer people than over bandits, yet if two people achieve it with the respective influence who has really achieved it? was it the person through hard work? or the person through a short cut? But there ain't a shortcut is there?
So many questions I've got xD
booth of them will.
it is like the powers one could achieve from practice or could be born with them (like praktilaya do).
the recomandation is to try to be surounded by nice people, because this make things easy.
Kamadeva
Cu durerile iubirii
Voind sufletu-mi să-l vindec,
L-am chemat în somn pe Kama -
Kamadeva, zeul indic.
El veni, copilul mândru,
Călărind pe-un papagal,
Având zâmbetul făţarnic
Pe-a lui buze de coral.
Aripi are, iar în tolbă-i
El păstrează, ca săgeţi,
Numai flori înveninate
De la Gangele măreţ.
Puse-o floare-atunci-n arcu-i,
Mă lovi cu ea în piept,
Şi de-atunci în orice noapte
Plâng pe patul meu deştept...
Cu săgeata-i otrăvită
A sosit ca să mă certe
Fiul cerului albastru
Ş-al iluziei deşerte.
You see, RD1234? This is exactly the reason why we don't have more saints than pure people🙂
Those who can achieve purity among thieves and criminals are considered crazy and treated as well by those. They still have the power to continue and try to "clean" that society too. But those are exceptions from Maniu's rule. Like any other crazy or genius individual in our large society.
The average John, because I think that he is the subject of this article, is not that strong to resist at the extreme influences but enough to have his own good principles in a "pink" environment🙂
PS. Thanks Maniu for the follow up.
@Norman Asante, Ghanesha story (told to me those days by RD) says
Kamadeva (si inainte si inapoi povestea e lunga) il desteapta pe Shiva din "tapas" (o sa ajungem si la asta) iar acesta, vazandu-l, il transforma in cenusa.
Iubirea nu moare prin asta. Kamadeva (deva e sufixul pt Zeu) o sa reanvie dar, ciudat, Shiva nu se indragosteste de el (Kamadeva il sagetase, de asta s-a trezit) pentru ca iubirea "la ei" functioneaza numai intre persoane de sex opus : D
@The Brigadier
The aim for all this is ... me, and you, and everyboady.
There is no such things like average Joe. We all are awerage Joe sometimes.
Also, this is The Path of one to became the charming Prince or the Princess form the highest tower on the highest mountain. So, it is a story ?
What make us what we are ?
Do we make us what we are ?
@RD1234, miss
after our talks, I must say more.
If Sauca is achieved, you are not far.
Yet, to achieve that is not enough to was you boady, to practice (exercise) your boady.
The mind and feelings are. also, very important.
See, is like a ... say, tiger (because I love this creatures).
Could he became inlove with a lotus flower ?
They are of the same purity and power. They are icons.
Still, none of them are "the purity".
It's exactly what I was saying: WE ARE the average Joe. Or at least this is what I was trying to say🙂
"What make us what we are ?
Do we make us what we are ?"
Here, the answer can't be so simple as we expect. Of course that a plant, in order to evolve in harmony has to grow in the proper soil, to have the proper climate and, of course, to be handled with care and love.
But, on the other hand, if the seed is not coming from a "healthy plant" all other external influences are useless.
But... what do I know? I am a simple raja, a flag bearer and I don't need to be so pure. I don't even want that🙂
Purity is not compatible with my job description and I kinda like my job... unfortunately😁
Purity can mean perfection, and perfection means end. I'd rather struggle all life to achieve it and not getting it, than to have it and feeling at the end of the road.
not the end, just the start of a new journey.
a very different one
