If a person loves a beautiful girl; it is done by the passion not by the loving-kindness. If a person chases away an ugly dog; it is done by the hatred. If a person helps a beautiful woman; it is normal y done by passion – lust. If a person helps a poor impure old man; it is done by
loving-kindness or by compassion. If a helps a friend; often it is done by loving-kindness.
It is recommended to practice mindfulness of body meditation as a side meditation if anyone practices this meditation.
Loving-kindness is none-hatred. None-hatred is friendship. By practicing this meditation the yogi gives friendship to al visible and invisible beings.
“I am a student of the teacher of gods and human who tolerates al attacks of enemies and who do only good even to his enemies. I am a student of the sage of sages who sees his own son and his enemies equal y. I am a student of the supremely enlightened one, the blessed one who is the greatest friend of al 3 worlds! I wil move on his path by being a friend of al living beings”. Think or speak this statement 10
times in the morning and 10 times in the noon. Also before you go to sleep think 10 more times. Do this every day for 30 days. By doing like this you can make your mind suitable for this meditation. This described thing is an optional thing.
By using this meditation a yogi can make other consciousness elements free from hatred. This benefits the world heavily. Because al wrong actions are done by hatred. If there is no hatred in any consciousness element; that consciousness element cannot perform any harmful action to another being.
In this meditation, the yogi spreads the thought of non-hatred al over the 10 directions. Those 10 directions are North, Northeast, East, Southeast, South, Southwest, West, Northwest, Up, Down.
Meditation procedure:
The first thing to do in this meditation is recognizing the correct thought.
1) When you see your friends this none-hatred thought arises in your mind.
2) When a mother sees her children this none-hatred thought arises in her mind.
3) When a father sees his children this none-hatred thought arises in his mind.
4) When a teacher sees his students this none-hatred thought arises in his mind.
After you recognized the correct thought spread out it each direction systematical y.
Loving-kindness meditation 1st method: Think about fear of al beings due to hatred. Because of hatred they cut and kil each other. And they do various other dangerous things too. Think about it for a while.
Those al things happen because of hatred. If their minds had no hatred they cannot do it. Think “I also dislike if someone cuts or kil s me”. Think “al other beings dislike too”. Think “I should spread none-hatred, al other beings are like me”. Then start from one direction.
Think “al beings in this direction may not be hateful. Al beings in this direction may free their minds from hatred. May they be friends and live happily”. “al beings in this direction ‘may they not hate’”. Al beings in this direction “healed be”. Now you either take ‘may they not hate’ or ‘healed be’ or ‘may not hate’ or ‘no hate' with its nature; and spread the thought in every direction. Spread that recognition. Get
concentrated upon it. Also, you can create your own word for concentration.
Loving-kindness meditation 2nd method: Spread the loving-kindness thought as categorizing beings. Take as; this direction’s big beings, smal beings, visible beings, invisible beings, those who are already born or who are waiting to be born such as creatures in eggs, long beings, short beings, beings who are in fear, and beings who are not in fear. Spread the thought of none-hatred to them al . Spread in al 10
directions. Spread that recognition. Get concentrated upon it.
Loving-kindness meditation 3rd method: You can think as if you are going to help al visible and invisible beings by destroying their hatred of minds and as it is a gift to al beings. Then staying on that motive as the foundation; you can start spreading loving- kindness thought, none-hatred thought to al 10 directions. Holding onto 10 directions, knowing the 10 directions; concentrate. This is just thinking about it as giving a gift.
Loving-kindness meditation 4th method: In this method, firstly the yogi should think about himself “may I be healed” or “may I be free from hatred” or “may I not hate”. Then imagine yourself being healed from hatred and living in great happiness. Secondly, think about someone whom you respect very much and spread loving-kindness thought to him. If you want you can imagine he is in happiness by various ways. But that is optional. Thirdly spread loving-kindness thoughts to a your friend. Fourthly spread loving-kindness to a neutral person. Fifthly spread loving-kindness thought to an enemy of you. If you recal a memory of a harm or an attack of them to you; forgive them. Think about the fact that his or her karma belongs to themselves but not to you. Now final y spread the loving-kindness in al 10
directions for al visible and invisible beings. Concentrate on it.
Loving-kindness meditation 5th method: You can take as consciousnesses instead of beings, if you want. Because in the absolute sense there is no being. But this is an optional method.
Then when you fil ed al directions think of spreading the loving-kindness as entire living beings. Set your intentions on al living beings.
Then spread the none-hatred thought to al beings everywhere.
You should think equal y about al beings. Your life and their life should be equal to you.
Spread out immeasurably! Concentrate on it.
What you are spreading here is nothing but none-hatred.
Through 2 causes the yogi fails in the practice of loving-kindness meditation. They are;
1) Through regarding these are friends, these are enemies.
2) Through impure affection – the love.
Beings are the objective of loving-kindness meditation.
This meditation can only be done for a living being but not for a dead body.
If a yogi tries to spread the loving-kindness thought to a dead body whose consciousness element is no more inside that body; the yogi cannot attain any concentration level.
Loving-kindness is an attribute of the consciousness element that can be spread.
The power of this meditation is completely felt by al the visible and invisible beings who are in a closer range to the yogi.
If you want the friendship of one particular person then you can spread the none-hatred thought to his consciousness. To do that; place his or her photo in front of you. Then think about that person’s appearance – looks for a smal time. If you do not have a photo, you can imagine his appearance before you. Take his or her image onto in between your eyebrows. Then start loving-kindness meditation taking that single person as the sole objective. Spread the none-hatred thought to his or her consciousness wherever that person is now. If you know the direction of that person is staying now; face that direction. It wil bring fast results. Like this, practice this meditation every day at least 1 hour. Recommend 3 hours per day if possible.
When you practice like this if he is a neutral person he wil be your best friend within a short time. If he is your enemy then it wil take a little longer time.
The person who tries to practice the loving-kindness meditation also should not do any harm to other beings by his bodily actions, speeches, and thoughts. This is the perfect way of practicing this loving-kindness, none-hatred meditation. To him who practices this meditation others are also equal to his life.
Understand the fact that even the disgusting stinky dog which comes to you likes the pleasure same as you do. You can think “I like pleasure, this poor being also likes pleasure, so how better if this poor dog also comes to a pleasure”. You can think without becoming a slave of a beautiful creature “beautiful or ugly, al humans, animals and invisible beings like pleasure, they dislike grief”. This loving-kindness is a great virtue.
Arouse loving-kindness in your mind easily like this. Think “may no living being wil deceive another being! May no living being wil humiliate another being! May no living being wil like to harm another living being with a hateful mind! May al living beings be free from hatred!
This meditation can be practiced easily in al 4 postures which are standing, walking, sitting, and laying by a meditation practitioner.
If a meditation practitioner practises this loving-kindness meditation, he is benefitted in 11 ways thus; happily he sleeps, happily he awakes, he does not see bad dreams, he is dear to humans, he is dear to invisible inhuman beings, gods protect him, fire – poison – weapons cannot attack him while he is in loving-kindness thought, he concentrates his mind quickly, the colour of his face is pleasingly bright, at the time of death he is not bewildered, if he attains not the sublime state; he is reborn in a world of brahmas. Also, this meditation generates high meritorious karmas and karmic diseases are healed.
If you have financial problems, this is the best meditation you should practice every day. By practicing this meditation the person who is unfortunate becomes fortunate. He receives good luck in his dealings and in his life. By this meditation, a yogi can attain the 3rd form plane meditative level as maximum. That means the 5th concentration level.

As mother and father are neither too attentive nor yet inattentive towards any one of their children, but regard them equal y and maintain an even mind towards them, so through equanimity one maintains an even mind towards al beings. This is equanimity. None-attachment is its main feature. Equality is its function. The suppression of disliking and liking is its manifestation.

Sphere of the infinity of space:
The yogi who is in the 4th form plane meditative level now should consider making his consciousness element more finer.
The yogi who already attained the 4th form plane meditative level now should spread the Divine Mind Light everywhere limitlessly.
When you resolve that, it is seen instantly by you.
Now when you have spread the divine mind light everywhere without any limit; now resolve “may this light vanish!”.
Now light vanishes.
Now this space that is seen by the mind has no limit.
Now your objective is this space. Concentrate onto this space thinking as “infinite is space” or “space is infinite” or “infinite space” or
“limitless space”.
Sphere of the infinite consciousness:
The yogi who already attained 1st formless meditative level which is infinite is space now should consider making his consciousness more finer.

Now while in the 2nd formless meditative level; think about the emptiness of the 1st formless meditative level – the infinite is space.
Now it is not here. Think of its not existence now. Check by your present mind the none existence of the previous mind – the infinite is the space mind.
Now arise the perception of nothingness.
Try repeatedly, thinking as “there is nothing whatsoever” or “there is nothing” or “nothing is there” or “nothing” or “empty”.

Importance of 4 secondary meditations:
A meditation practitioner can practice his meditations by keeping one main meditation to practice often and 4 secondary meditations to assist it.
These are the typical 4 secondary meditations; The recol ection of the Buddha, the loving kindness meditation, the impurities of bodies meditation, the recol ection of death meditation.
These 4 secondary meditations assist the main meditation. Also if a person likes, he can choose a meditation from these secondary meditations as his main meditation. It is not a wrong thing. Now I teach you the benefits of these 4 secondary meditations and how they assist the main meditation.
These 4 secondary meditations should be practiced for a short time before starting the main meditation. (This task is optional) How does the recol ection of Buddha meditation assist? By practicing this meditation before the main meditation, the yogi obtains a great honor about the prophet and his advises. He obtains great faith. Faith softens the consciousness element. And also he obtains courage and perseverance to move on the dharma path. He loses fear.
How does the loving-kindness meditation assist? By practicing this meditation before the main meditation, the yogi obtains the honour and the friendship from al gods, inhumans and humans around him.
Gods starts protecting him. No visible or invisible one wil harm his life.
How does the mindfulness of body meditation assists? By practicing this meditation before the main meditation, the yogi obtains wisdom.
If he sees a beautiful goddess while he is in the concentration; he does not be ignorant. He knows the truth. Sometimes bad gods or inhuman beings try to make the yogi ignorant and to deceive him. There are
many jealous spirits. While he is in concentration such bad gods and inhumans appear in front of him and talk to him to deceive him.
Sometimes shows beautiful goddesses. Sometimes either real goddesses or gods who took that female form come and try to charm the yogi. There are also bad inhuman beings who send the weak yogi on wrong paths. The yogi who practices the mindfulness of body meditation cannot be deceived by them.
How does the mindfulness of death assists? By practicing this meditation before the main meditation the yogi becomes earnest to practice the meditation and goes to the end of it as soon as possible.
He does not become lazy. He wil not go on the wrong paths.
Scenes saw by the divine eye segment:
A Buddhist monk whom we know wel once sees a vision by the divine eye intel igence. There was a rich businessman in our society. He was a self-made man. Was poor at the beginning but later became a very rich businessman. He had many real estates and many businesses. He was a married man with a few children. He was a virtuous man and according to a timetable; he practiced giving. He gifted away many things including money. He did many charities. However, he had much desire for his businesses and companies. He did not harm anyone and was living a nice life. Later he dies before his 70th birthday. It was a sudden death. Because of his virtues and practice of gifting; everyone thought he must be a god in a heaven world. Nevertheless, after some time after his funeral; a Buddhist monk finds what was his next life by using the divine eye intel igence. He sees an inhuman being. A spirit.
That businessman now has become a spirit. His body size was the same as when he was a human being. There was a suit which he loved as a businessman when he was in the human world. He was wearing an
exactly same suit just like that suit which was very pleasant to him.
This businessman had a very big and worthy real estate. This spirit was born there. The spirit was walking here and there on his own real estate. He was somewhat stoop and walking sorrowful y. Spirit was looking down. Both hands were also hanging down. It seemed he is very sad. Spirit’s postures were such. Spirit’s face expressed a feeling like “oh what happened to my belongings!”. His body is not weak but strong. He has a great fear, that he wil lose or wil get destroyed or someone else wil own; what belonged to him when he was a human being. However, his garments are clean. His body is clean. Spirit is healthy and strong. What has happened here is his final thought, the death consciousness was a sinful greedy thought. According to that, he became a spirit in his own real estate but even though he is a spirit; he received foods, garments, cleanliness, and other things due to the many merits he did as a human being.
Chapter 11: Other Yoga sciences.
卐

The final goal of Maha Yoga is acquiring the 10th concentration level in this present life and to reborn in the sphere of neither perception nor none perception after death of the yogi.

There I have given ful instructions to attain the sphere of neither perception nor none perception. That is the 4th formless meditative level the 10th concentration level. It is the end of subject of concentration.
If a person is enthusiastic about practicing yoga, regardless of age or health, he wil undoubtedly succeed.
Kundalini Yoga science:
In the Kundalini yoga method there shows 7 chakras, 7 wheels. These wheels are not something that is real y inside our body. These wheels are some signs, some symbols. Now I am going to teach you what these symbols define. Those 7 Kundalini chakras are nothing but 1 to 7
concentration levels. When came to this 7th level, he comes to Nirvikalpa Samadhi.
ʘ 1 Muladhara Chakra: This is the 1st concentration level. Firstly 5
dark covers that cover the mind vanish completely. The sign becomes visible and becomes the foundation help to al next concentration levels. Therefore it is cal ed Muladhara Chakra.
ʘ 2 Swadhishtana Chakra: 2nd concentration level. Divine mind light occurs for the first time. Because meditation sign and divine mind light are capable of control ing easily according to one’s wil and also should spread by wil ; therefore this is cal ed Swadhishtana Chakra.
ʘ 3 Manipura Chakra: This is 3rd concentration level. First fixed meditative level. First form plane meditative level. Because gives an experience that is similar to staying inside a city or a paradise that is ful y created by blazing gems that send forth beautiful lights; the ancient wise teacher sages showed this level to the ordinary human beings by the name Manipura Chakra.
ʘ 4 Anahatha Chakra: 4th concentration level. Second fixed meditative level. Second form plane meditative level. Outside noises, no matter how loud, wil no longer be able to disturb the yogi. Therefore this level is introduced by the name Anahatha Chakra by the wise rishis.
From now on in any fixed meditative level sadhaka does not hear any sound. Also, automatic concentration becomes.
ʘ 5 Wishudhda Chakra: 5th concentration level. Third fixed meditative level. Third form plane meditative level. Due to the exceedingly high pure pleasure in this level; it is cal ed Wishudhda Chakra. The pure wheel.
ʘ 6 Ajna Chakra: 6th concentration level. Fourth fixed meditative level.
Fourth form plane trance. Because in this level sadhaka receives supernormal powers that can be used according to his wil , that can be
used to spread his command; this is special y cal ed Ajna Chakra. The wheel of command.
ʘ 7 Sahasrara Chakra: 7th concentration level. Fifth fixed meditative level. First formless plane meditative level. The great formless Brahmic life where the life span is 20,000 great kalpas, which is extremely hard to measure, like immeasurable, which comes as a heritage with this supreme level was signified by the thousand petals by the supremely wise ancient teacher rishis. Also, a thousand petals signify the immeasurable power of this level.
What is the compressed energy? Kundalini Sakti.
What is Kundalini Sakti? Concentration power.
What is the common meaning of the word ‘Kundalini’? Hidden concentration power.
Kutilangi, Kundalini, Paramesvaree, Bhujangi Sakti, Ishwaree, Arundathi; these al names are synonyms.
In Kundalini yoga science what is meant by the coiled serpent symbol?
It means that the yogi disciplined his own mind which is a poisonous serpent for the first time by coming into the 1st concentration level.
What are the meanings of the eye and the other 3 symbols in Ajna chakra symbol? Respectively beginning from the eye; seeing the past –
present – future 3 times, going through the sky, teleportation to anywhere in 10000 galaxies, total mastery over al supernatural powers.
What is the Bindu? Concentration sign.
What is Ishta Devata? Concentration sign.
Savikalpa Samadhi means al 4 form plane meditative levels. The life span of the form Brahmic body that comes after death as a heritage of these form plane meditative levels can be easily measured and also it is little compared to the formless Brahmic bodies. Therefore these form meditative levels are cal ed Savikalpa Samadhi.
Nirvikalpa Samadhi is the sphere of the infinity of space which is the first formless plane meditative level. The Brahmic life that receives as a heritage of this level has an extremely high life span which is like unable to measure. Therefore this formless meditative level is cal ed Nirvikalpa Samadhi.
Al Savikalpa Samadhi levels are bright due to the divine mind light.
Nirvikalpa Samadhi is neither bright nor dark.
It is possible to recognize the bodies of al form brahmas. The light that comes forth from bodies of form brahmas blaze in al 10 directions.
The body of a formless brahma is like a fine mist or a smoke, unable to recognize without using the divine eye. Unable to recognize clearly.
In Kundalini yoga these names which are; Amanaska, Advaitama, Raja Yogi, Samadhi, Unmani, Manonmani, Amarativa, Laya, Tatwa, Sunya, Asunya, Paramapada, Niralamba, Niranjana, Jiwanamukti, Sahaja, Turya, are al synonymous.
Student, understand the Kundalini yoga method easily by using these keys.

By using any of these meditations viz Mindfulness of respiration meditation, Fire kasina meditation, Light kasina meditation, White kasina meditation, Earth kasina meditation, Water kasina meditation,
Yel ow kasina meditation, Red kasina meditation, Blue kasina meditation, Space kasina meditation, Air kasina meditation; you can open al 7 Kundalini Chakras. Also can go even beyond this and acquire al 8 fixed meditative levels from these 11 meditation methods.
Student, you must remember there are 10 concentration levels as a whole.

The word ‘Astanga’ means 8 limbs. There are 8 Limbs of the Astanga yoga science. They are written below.

Aghor Yoga Science:
The Aghor yoga science is a variant of the Astanga yoga science. Aghor yoga science’s final goal is equal to the final goal of Astanga yoga science.
Aghor yoga term’s direct meaning is ‘Non-terrible yoga method’.
Aghor yoga term’s direct meaning is ‘Non-horrible yoga path’.
The one who came to the final goal in Aghor yoga is cal ed an
‘Avadhut’.
The father of this Aghor yoga science is the Esteemed Rishi Dattatreya.
Without a teacher, he himself found the secrets of yoga science by his own intel igence.
He abandoned the lay life at a very young age and became an ascetic.
Later on, he himself described an abnormal 24 teacher that showed him the yogic path in his early childhood.
For the benefit of many, I now introduce those 24 teachers to you.
1) Teacher Earth.
Observation: The Earth is disrespectful y trodden on by al creatures, but bears them al without complaint. People hurt earth by weapons and many other ways, but earth tolerates al .
-Rishi Dattatreya's Learning: So from the earth, I learned to accept al of life’s pleasures and pains with forbearance.
2) Teacher Wind.
Observation: Wind is of two types, Breath refers to the internal life forces and Air refers to the external movement of air. Breath is in al bodies but takes on the shape and form of the particular body it is in.
Air passes everywhere but does not attach to any place.
-Rishi Dattatreya's Learning: So from Breath and Air I learned to avoid attachment to any place but to adapt to wherever I might find myself.
3) Teacher Space.
Observation: Space is one and al -pervading.
-Rishi Dattatreya's Learning: Ultimate truth is one and al -pervading.
4) Teacher Water.
Observation: Water cleanses, purifies.
-Rishi Dattatreya's Learning: From it I learned to be a source of purity.
5) Teacher Fire.
Observation: Fire burns things leaving only their essence.
-Rishi Dattatreya's Learning: A yogi should see in beings not al the false opposites like rich-poor, old-young, high-low, but only as ‘a being’
which is the essence.
6) Teacher Moon.
Observation: The one and the same moon appears to go through changes, waxing, waning, etc.
-Rishi Dattatreya's Learning: One thing only appears to go through changes such as birth and death.
7) Teacher Sun.
Observation: The Sun through most of the year draws up moisture but during the monsoon, the weather cycle results in al that moisture being released as rain. Thus al the living beings are nourished.
-Rishi Dattatreya's Learning: From the sun I learned to gather up al the energy normal y dissipated in the body due to ignorance and expend it in austerity which leads to supreme intel igence of release.
8) Teacher Pigeon.
Observation: The pigeon has only one life partner. A pigeon once established a nest with a female pigeon in a forest. They lived together for years, laughing and having pleasure with each other. The female pigeon laid eggs that hatched into babies who were their parents' joy.
Once, when the pair was out to find food for their children, a hunter came by and snared the chirping young ones in a bird net. The parents returned at that moment and seeing the fate of her offspring, the mother rushed towards them only to be caught herself. Seeing this, the father bird began to reflect: "I had the perfect life with al material comforts and a loving family. Now it is al gone. So what is the point of
living?" Despondent and unaware, he didn't notice the hunter coming after him until it was too late and he too was caught.
-Rishi Dattatreya's Learning: From this, I learned that although pleasure is found in this world, it is transient and ends in pain. So it is better to renounce it. It is better to abandon the world.
9) Teacher Python.
Observation: The python is a big snake that is rather lazy. Instead of hunting for prey it just lies there and waits for prey to come to it.
-Rishi Dattatreya's Learning: From it, I learned not to seek to feed my appetite but to accept whatever comes my way.
10) Teacher Bee.
Observation: A bee flits from flower to flower to col ect its essence as food and the flower is not harmed by it.
-Rishi Dattatreya's Learning: An ascetic should not trouble a particular patron by depending on him even though it is the householder's duty to provide alms to ascetics but go from house to house to lessen the burden.
11) Teacher Beekeeper.
Observation: Honey comes from another smal er species of bee. Like the bumblebee, it col ects nectar from flowers for its food but unlike
the former, it stores it up as honey in its hive. There it becomes a target for theft by bears and other animals, farmers, etc.
-Rishi Dattatreya's Learning: One should not store up much food and wealth by greed but only keep enough to stay alive for the moment.
12) Teacher Eagle.
Observation: A smal eagle found some carrion and rushed away with it, constantly in fear that it would be taken away. Sure enough, a group of larger eagles who had no meat of their own came and stole it away from him. Unexpectedly the smal eagle felt relief that he no longer had to worry about protecting the carrion. The smal eagle calmly perched itself on the branch of a tree.
-Rishi Dattatreya's Learning: From this, I learned that possessions only make one fearful of their loss and it is better to renounce them al .
13) Teacher Ocean.
Observation: From close up, the ocean is roiling with waves but from a larger perspective it is perfectly stil . Furthermore, though al the rivers of the world fal into the ocean it never becomes ful .
-Rishi Dattatreya's Learning: Modification of the mind and the agitations of the outside world even though seemingly violent and unceasing, become nothing but stil ness in concentration. Such a mind does not come to a change no matter what fal s into it from the outside.
14) Teacher Moth.
Observation: A moth or other insect is irresistibly drawn towards light even when as in the case of a fire it wil destroy itself.
-Rishi Dattatreya's Learning: The foolish seeker after desires wil become a slave to them even to the point of self-destruction.
15) Teacher Elephant.
Observation: The elephant is a mighty beast; very hard to capture. But it has one weakness. In the rutting season, the smel of a female elephant wil drive it wild and it wil rush headlong to the source of that smel . A skil ful hunter can use that to trap it.
-Rishi Dattatreya's Learning: Even those who are mostly unswayed by desire can be laid low if they have some lingering vice. A smal desire is enough for destruction. Therefore, desire must be uprooted completely.
16) Teacher Deer.
Observation: A deer is hard to catch because it can run so swiftly. But the beguiling sound of a flute mesmerizes it into inactivity where a hunter can trap it.
-Rishi Dattatreya's Learning: A yogi must stay away from music and other things that exist only to beguile the senses. If not, he becomes ensnared in reincarnation.
17) Teacher Fish.
Observation: A fish is protected from hunters by living in the deep water. But clever humans attach bait to fishing lines. The fish gets caught on the hook in the very mouth that greedily relished the taste of the bait.
-Rishi Dattatreya's Learning: A wise man should not love tastes. A wise man should take food only for getting the energy necessary to do his duties not al owing torpor. The moth met its doom due to sight; the elephant due to smel ; the deer due to sound; and the fish due to taste.
Therefore a wise man must control al the senses correctly.
18) Teacher Whore.
Observation: In Videha country there lived a whore named Pingala.
Each night she would dress in her finest most al uring clothes and ornaments and stand in the doorway of her home enticing passing men to come and spend the night with her for money and pleasure.
One night many men passed by on the street and she watched them thinking "oh this one is rich" and "oh that one is handsome" but nobody came to her. As the hours wore on she became more and more depressed and anxious. Eventual y, she gave up waiting for a lover altogether. And then she had an il umination. She realized she did not need outer things for happiness. Happiness and sadness occur within. From then on she decided to live a disciplined and moral life.
-Rishi Dattatreya's Learning: Without fol owing useless things, without wishing for anything, ignoring the outer world; a spiritual truth seeker should move on the spiritual path in solitude and bliss.
19) Teacher Baby.
Observation: A baby has no sense of respect or offense. He may laugh or cry or sleep or wake but these are al fleeting states which are forgotten as they pass.
-Rishi Dattatreya's Learning: From this, I learned that emotions are impermanent and, like a baby, a yogi should just let them pass over him and be forgotten.
20) Teacher Girl.
Observation: A girl was of marriageable age and the parents of a suitor were to come and visit her. But they arrived unexpectedly when the girl’s own parents were away. So she welcomed them herself and quickly went into the kitchen to prepare something for them to eat. As she was grinding the flour, the many bangles on her wrists began clashing. The girl stopped, thinking “By hearing this sound, the guests wil know I am preparing food myself and therefore they wil know we do not have servants and that our family is poor”. So she removed al but two of the bangles and began grinding the flour again. Stil , their sound could be heard. So she took one more off and was able to complete her task in quiet.
-Rishi Dattatreya's Learning: If there are a lot of people there wil be unnecessary talks and clashes. Even with 2 people, it is the same. So it is better to stay in silence in complete solitude.
21) Teacher Snake.
Observation: A snake lives a solitary life, it does not remain in one place, it is silent in movement, and it does not build any kind of residence but finds shelter in whatever cave or hole that is available.
-Rishi Dattatreya's Learning: From it, I learned the code of conduct of an ascetic. To live alone, wander from place to place, not to engage with other people but pass silently, and to find shelter in any place.
22) Teacher Arrowsmith.
Observation: A certain arrow-maker supplied his weapons for the army of a king. He prided himself on his work and once was so engrossed in it that when the king with officers and soldiers came to meet him, he failed to see the king to salute him. Such was his excel ent focus.
-Rishi Dattatreya's Learning: A yogi should meditate with a complete one-pointed focus like the tip of an arrow. Only such a practice of meditation leads to the supreme goal.
23) Teacher Spider.
Observation: Once a little spider built a nice cozy web. When a larger spider chased it, it rushed to take refuge in its web. But it ran so fast that it got entangled and was captured by the bigger spider.
-Rishi Dattatreya's Learning: One must not do wrong actions by body, by speech and by mind. If he do so, he wil be entangled in his own wrong actions in the future. There is no safety to be found in the complicated nets of our own wrong actions.
24) Teacher Wasp.
Observation: The wasp builds a house from clay. Then wasp captures a caterpil ar and sting it. Then wasp brings the caterpil ar to its house and in a room it keeps the caterpil ar and then lay an egg in that room.
Then locking the caterpil ar inside; the wasp covers the room completely by using clay. After sometime instead of a caterpil ar a wasp comes out from the clay room by cracking it.
-Rishi Dattatreya's Learning: The one who constantly meditates on an object final y merges into it and also he abandons his former identity.
By continuously meditating; one reaches the Brahmic pleasure.
The above mentioned 24 were the teachers of the Esteemed Rishi Dattatreya on Brahma science path.
After he became a Rishi and passed a longer time, and when a king asked him who is your teacher; the esteemed Rishi Dattatreya replied as thus.

These 5 facts are disturbances to the one who fol ows the yoga science:

2) Arrogance.

Who is the Adi yogi? The omniscient Buddha who can do the supreme Yamaka supernatural manipulation is the Adi yogi. Yamaka supernatural manipulation is the gushing of water and fire at the same time from his body. This cannot be done by others who are clever at al super-normal functions. This can only be done by the omniscient Buddhas in the universe.
Rishis, Arhant monks, Alone Buddhas, Omniscient Buddhas; they al have mercy for the universe. Those supreme men do not create il usive puzzles to make trouble for humans and gods.
Al il usive meanings added to the yoga science and Dharma; were done by the fools who expected unnecessary respect and who were empty by wisdom. Dharma was distorted by fake yogis and fake ascetics.
Men like us only remove the il usion of the world but do not imprison the world in il usion.
Men like us only solve the puzzle of the world but do not desert the world in a puzzle.
We who are Rishis, Arhant monks, Alone Buddhas, Omniscient Buddhas; do not expect an unnecessary respect. They do not shake in front of respect and disrespect for they are like stone mountains.
(However, receiving a great merit to the person who adores them is another thing.)
Scenes saw by the divine eye segment:
A Buddhist monk whom we know wel , once sees a vision by the divine eye intel igence. It is 4 divine horses who live in a heaven world. These divine horses were 7 feet in height. These heavenly horses had the colors of a peacock on earth. Indeed, the body of a horse had various colors similar to a peacock who lives in a human world. Al divine horses were like that. They were unimaginably beautiful. Extremely beautiful! Green and blue were mixed wel also. Imagine a wel -bound 25 bundles of peacock tails; such tails were for these divine horses.
That tail of a heavenly horse was gone toward backbone and bulged on the back and thereafter was fal en down. It is a majestic nature. Along the backbone of that heavenly horses; there were body hairs 1 foot long coming down to both sides. And the body hair color was similar to the tail feathers of a peacock that lives on earth. These divine horses were majestic horses who have an extreme life span, beauty, pleasure, and power.
Chapter 12: Concentration
meditation mechanism. 卐
When practicing a concentration meditation, what sign that comes forth clearly; the yogi should concentrate onto it. This is the mechanism of concentration meditations.
There may come forth signs more than one; each after the other. Then he should concentrate onto it. When a new one came the old one should be abandoned. Indeed you wil not see that sign which you were concentrating on when the new sign arose.
By doing so, a meditation practitioner can acquire up to the 4th form plane meditative level without changing the mechanism by using any concentration meditation that is capable of giving that level.
In some rare cases, those who practice Kasina meditations see several Grasped signs. If this happens to you, then you should concentrate onto the biggest Kasina Grasped sign.
The sign wil be visible in between eyebrows. If the sign is smal , then you should make it bigger. By making it bigger you can concentrate very easily. That is the purpose behind making the meditation sign bigger.
If the sign appears smal then think, then resolve “may this be big!”
Then it instantly becomes big. Then again think “may this be bigger in 5
inches” then instantly it becomes 5 inches big. Then again think “be it 12 inches big” then instantly it becomes 1 foot big. Then again slowly you should spread it. As “may this be bigger as a car”, “may this be bigger as a house”, “may this be bigger as a vil age”, “may this be bigger as a city”… in the same manner you should make it bigger and
bigger until it becomes like the great earth. As it becomes like a great bal , pervading everywhere.
The sign, the divine mind light; these al stay according to the wil of the yogi. They have been fascinated now by the yogi. Therefore as a vehicle in a heaven world that moves according to the mind of the driver; these al behave according to the mind of the yogi.
Mechanism of concentration in brief:
In brief mechanism of concentration meditations is: 1) When the sign occurred; concentrate onto it.
2) When the pure image with divine mind light occurred; concentrate onto it.
This is how you go to the 6th concentration level.
Miscellaneous segment:
The human voice sound is a prick to the concentration practice.
What is concentration? Concentration means the dwel ing of mind in meritorious thought generations undistracted by any.
And again, undistracting of consciousness element and attributes of consciousness element and unification into one objective is cal ed concentration.
And again, it means not al owing one’s mind to be bent by the strong wind of passion. It is comparable to the unflickering flame of the lamp behind the glass cover.
Also, the even practice of mindfulness and energy is concentration. It is comparable to the evenness of oil in an oiled bowl.
Equilibrated thought, like the equalized energy of 4 horses of a chariot, is concentration. It is like the attentiveness of an arrow-maker scrutinizing the straightness of a shaft. It is like a drug that counteracts poison, because it removes resentment.
In the science of distinctive nature it is described as; what fixes the mind aright, causes it to be not dependent on any, causes it to be unmoved, undisturbed, tranquilized, and none-attached, and rightens the faculty of concentration and the power of concentration is cal ed concentration.
The dwel ing of the mind without any distraction is its salient characteristic. Destroying restlessness is its function. Tranquility is its manifestation. None-association with defilements and having bodily and mental pleasure are its near cause.
Who observes concentration? Namely, he who maintains the mind and the mental properties in a state of equilibrium. It is like the hand which holds a pair of scales evenly.
There are 4 main benefits that concentration can produce. They are; 1) Pleasant dwel ing in the bliss and divine pleasure in this present life.
2) Exceedingly clear investigation of al objectives.
3) Acquisition of worldly 6 distinctive intel igences.
4) The attainment of perfection.
1) What is pleasant dwel ing in the bliss and divine pleasure in this present life? Namely, one acquires concentration and is freed from corruption. He feels no any painful sensation. He becomes cool.
Nothing hurts him. His mind arouses joy, partakes of the joy, and dwel s pleasantly in the bliss and divine pleasure in the present life without even moving an inch of his body for a long time as long as he wants.
2) What is exceedingly clear investigation of al objectives? This means that a yogi acquires concentration and is not hindered by objectives. With the power of concentration; he investigates the aggregations, the sense-spheres, various other worlds, the elements, meanings, and others. He knows everything clearly. Everything becomes completely uncovered to him.
3) What is acquisition of worldly 6 distinctive intel igences? The yogi having acquired the concentration, develops 6 distinctive intel igences at the 4th form plane meditative level. Namely, distinctive intel igence of supernatural power caused by the mind, distinctive intel igence of supernatural power methods, distinctive intel igence of divine ear, distinctive intel igence of Knowing other’s thoughts, distinctive intel igence of recol ection of past lives, distinctive intel igence of divine eye.
4) What is the attainment of perfection? The yogi having a concentrated mind, although yogi has yet to reach the stage of the Arhantship, may not fal back at al . One gains a good reward through concentration. One attains to ‘the form’, then to ‘the formless’ and to the perfection with the help of wisdom meditations. Perfection means nirvana. If couldn’t come to the perfection in this life, he wil be born as a brahma after his death and in that world wil come to the perfection. (Also the sage of sages has declared “those who practice
even a little of the 1st form plane meditative level are able to join the retinue of brahma. Al such are born in such a supreme world.) What is the meaning of word ‘Abhibhayathana’? The literal meaning of Abhibhayathana is ‘Going beyond’. Abhibhayathana means the clever yogi’s coming to the 3rd concentration level going beyond 1st and 2nd concentration levels in an instant. The clever yogi who has mastered the art of concentration can attain any fixed meditative level directly without spending any time on first and second concentration levels. Methods of Going Beyond from unfixed concentration levels to a fixed trance are cal ed Abhibhayathanas.
Methods of grasping:
There are 3 methods of grasping the meditation sign in concentration meditations. They are;
1) By seeing.
2) By touching.
3) By hearing.
Kasina meditations are an example for grasping meditation sign by sight. Air kasina and Anapanasathi are examples for grasping meditation sign by touch. Om meditation is an example for grasping meditation sign by audition.
9 obstacles for concentration:
How many main states are obstacles to the progress in concentration?
Namely, 9 states are causes. They are; lust, hatred, indolence, rigidity, agitation, uncertainty, delusion, absence of joy, and absence of pleasure. Al other evil demeritorious states are also obstacles.
8 causes of concentration:
How many main causes of concentration are there? Namely, 8 states are causes. They are; renunciation, none-hatred, brightness of mind, none-disturbedness, al skil ful states, sustained application of thought, gladness, and those states that arouse intel igence of truth. These are the main causes of concentration.
7 requisites of concentration:
What are the requisites of concentration? There are 7 requisites of concentration. They are; virtue, contentment, shielding of the 6
faculties, moderation in drink and food, not sleeping in the first –
middle and last watches of the night, the being intent on wisdom and a calm & quiet dwel ing-place.
Here 6 faculties are eye, ear, nose, tongue, body and mind.
Types of concentration:
Al concentrations can be divided into 2 categories as mundane concentrations and supramundane concentrations.
The acquisition of the Noble Fruit and The dissolution of perception and sensation trance are cal ed ‘supramundane concentrations’. Al other concentrations are mundane concentrations. Mundane concentrations are accompanied by fine corruption, are connected with fine fetters, and are bound.
And again there are 4 kinds in concentration. They are; 1) Wil -concentration.
2) Effort-concentration.
3) Resolve-concentration.
4) Scrutiny-concentration.
Wil -concentration is attained by means of the wil . Effort-concentration is attained by means of effort. Resolve-concentration is attained by means of mind and resolve. Scrutiny-concentration is attained by means of scrutiny.
There are 4 practices in concentration. They are; 1) Painful practice of a man of slow wit.
2) Painful practice of a man of quick wit 3) Pleasant practice of a man of slow wit.
4) Pleasant practice of a man of quick wit.
To a man of dense passion and dul faculties; practice is painful. He gains concentration with slow wit.
To a man of dense passion and keen faculties; practice is painful. He gains concentration with quick wit.
To a man of rare passion and dul faculties; practice is pleasant. He gains concentration with slow wit.
To a man of rare passion and keen faculties; practice is pleasant. He gains concentration with quick wit.
Here, the faculties are; faith attribute of consciousness element, mindfulness attribute of consciousness element, perseverance attribute of consciousness element, concentration attribute of consciousness element, wisdom attribute of consciousness element.
Because of the density of passion, a densely passionate man overcomes passion with difficulty. Therefore, his practice is painful.
Because of the dul ness of faculties, a man of dul faculties has to practice meditation assiduously for a long time and wake up his sluggish wit. Therefore, he is cal ed a man of dul faculties.
On Kasinas:
The thought that is produced relying on that Kasina sign is cal ed that particular Kasina meditation. It is that particular Kasina perception, identification. The training and undistributed dwel ing of the mind are cal ed practicing of it. Sending forth the mind into the kasina sign is the salient characteristic of a kasina meditation. The none-abandoning of the perception of that kasina sign is its function. Undivided thought is its near cause.
If the yogi acquires facility in one Kasina sign, al other Kasina signs fol ow.
If the yogi acquires facility in the 1st form plane meditative level through one Kasina. Yogi is able to acquire facility through the other Kasinas also and is able to cause the arising of the 2nd form plane meditative level.
If one has mastery in the 6th concentration level by one Kasina; al other Kasinas fol ow and he has mastery in the 6th concentration level by al Kasinas.
By changing the perception, a yogi can change the Kasina. For an instance, the yogi who dwel s in fire Kasina is in the fire recognition. If he changes the recognition to the water; he immediately comes to the water Kasina. This is the mechanism of changing Kasinas.
The yogi who is in the 6th concentration level in the light Kasina, if changes the light perception into earth element; he immediately comes to the 6th concentration level in the earth Kasina.
Except for the consciousness Kasina, al other Kasina meditations are causes of supernatural powers.
Al symbol meditations give benefits of light Kasina. However, symbol meditations give concentration slower than Anapanasathi meditation and Kasina meditations.
White Kasina and Light Kasina meditations are ideal for any person. If someone is unsure about what to practice as his meditation; then he should choose either white Kasina or light Kasina.
Attention and concentration:
This is the difference between attention and concentration: attention is an ordinary thing. Concentration is something that brings concentration levels. Attention and concentration may look similar.
But it is not similar. In attention, thought generations are mixed with 5
dark covers. In concentration thought generations have one single objective and are not mixed with 5 dark covers of mind.
Is it possible to concentrate onto music? No. Where there is changing that is not an objective for concentration. By trying to concentrate on such changing things; one never comes to any of concentration levels.
Movies, musics, driving a car are things that cannot be concentrated upon. But one can do these things in a high attention. Also, it is possible to concentrate upon a not changing sound. But that method, which is concentrating onto a steady sound alone is somewhat hard and wil bring concentration very slowly. Mixed with a form like in a kasina meditation, gives faster results. Sometimes a steady sound is
used as a barrier to outside changing unsteady sounds. A yogi must remember changing is distraction. Therefore music is about distraction.
Concentration means one single objective becoming high.
Other information:
What is the color of the divine mind light, is it red or white or pink?
The color of the divine mind light depends upon the thought of the yogi. According to the thought; color changes.
Is it possible to walk while in the first concentration level? Yes, it is possible. While in that concentration level one can do any activity.
Is it possible to walk while in the 2nd concentration level? Yes, it is possible. While in that concentration level one can do any activity.
Can a person in 4th form plane meditative level which means 6th concentration level think? Yes. But then his mind comes to the 2nd concentration level and stays there with the power of the 6th concentration level. And he can think deeply about any matter.
Can a person in the sphere of nothingness think? Yes. But then his mind comes to the 2nd concentration level and stays there with the power of the 9th concentration level. And he can think deeply about any matter.
Can a person in the 4th form plane meditative level walk? Yes. He can.
Is it possible to think while in form or formless trances? Yes and no.
while inside of it outer thoughts do not occur. But if tries to think then his mind automatical y comes to the 2nd concentration level and stays there with the power of the previous concentration level. And he can think deeply about any matter in this new state.
The inclination of the mind makes the getting out from the trance.
Is it possible to walk while in the 1st formless plane meditative level?
No. It is not possible to walk while in the formless meditative levels.
If someone dies with the capability of entering into formless trances, does not he receive a form after his death? He receives a form but it is exceedingly fine. It is extraordinary. It is like a mist or a smoke. His body is like a very thin mist, only a person who has the divine eye can see it. No other living being in the universe including form brahmas can see them by using their normal eyes. Most living beings do not even know the existence of the formless brahmas. Because their form is extremely unclear and hard to recognize; they are named ‘formless’.
Therefore, because of the exceeding fineness of their form, they are cal ed; the formless brahmas.
Any person who does not have faith, who does not trust the path, who is uncertain, who does not trust Dharma; cannot attain 1st concentration level. What to tel about other levels. Have faith. Faith is essential. Because this is a task about consciousness element. Faith makes the consciousness element soft. And makes certainty. Therefore, he acquires meditative levels.
Paying attention to hateful things and thinking hateful thoughts steadily is general y cal ed as the wrong concentration.
Practice dispassion often. Live with the perception of dispassion.
Neglect – ignore completely what are useless to you and your meditation. This neglecting decreases the distraction of the mind. And increases the concentration of the mind.
Remove remorse and love before starting any meditation.
Wherever the mind attaches itself first, it becomes steady there; and then it becomes absorbed in it.
Either by hatred, either by love, either by jealousy; if one concentrates onto a single point, eventual y his defilements wil be calmed down and he wil acquire the trances. And therefore purity and perfection or the birth of the world of brahmas.
Because concentration sends someone to heaven or to a brahma world in any case if any danger happens to him; there is no other friend like concentration.
Even if one took the help of a plain sound for practicing concentration; that sound wil automatical y stop at the first concentration level.
Body, mind, and breath are stil ed in the concentration.
How to practice the perception of light? When the night came, think about the daytime environment and try to see accordingly. With light everywhere. Practice til you can see some light everywhere by your imagination. Now resolve “now it is day time”. Stay with that luminescent mind in the whole night without letting the cover of drowsiness and laziness to overcome you. This is a help to obtain the divine eye intel igence. Also, you can concentrate onto any light, say moon or starlight.
Perception of light is nothing but the recognition of light. You can come to that recognition of light by using any means necessary, and then you are in it.
The concentration flow becomes steady by habit. Then there wil be automatic concentration.
One is capable of concentrating onto a vehicle by thinking steadily about it. By steadiness; concentration happens.
Even a bit of concentration without coming into any concentration level means a good awareness. No rigidity and torpor there.
Even if you are the worst sinner in the world; meditations can purify you.
Practicing a meditation sporadical y makes it does not give its results.
So practice continuously.
A person becomes powerful under the influence of any concentration level.
If someone can take (move) his own consciousness element into the 4th form trance; that consciousness element becomes exceedingly powerful and therefore receives supernatural powers that work according to his mind, his thoughts.
Concentration mediation science is cal ed Yoga science. It is also known by the name Brahma science.
8 Masteries in concentration:

features, white in its glow. Then he thinks ‘I wil see, I wil know’
beyond these and comes to a single perception of formless internal y, immediately. This is the eighth dimension of mastery.”

Scenes saw by the divine eye segment:
A Buddhist monk whom we know wel , once sees a vision by the divine eye intel igence. It is a devil. Devils normal y love darkness. This devil is 6 feet in height. He seemed massive. He was like a human in shape. He was black in color. He was not wearing anything for the top. His top was uncovered. He was wearing a piece of cloth til his knees as his bottom garment. There were big bracelets on both of his hands. He had a long hair til his shoulders. His nature was like a huge, very strong boxing champion on earth. There were some other devils behind him as his crowd, they looked like shadows. The leader devil was like a majestic, black, massive human man.
Chapter 13: Attaining 4 form
meditative levels. 卐
Al 4 form meditative levels can be attained by these meditations only.
They are;
1) Fire kasina meditation.
2) Light kasina meditation.
3) White kasina meditation.
4) Earth kasina meditation.
5) Water kasina meditation.
6) Yel ow kasina meditation.
7) Red kasina meditation.
8) Blue kasina meditation.
9) Space kasina meditation.
10) Air kasina meditation.
11) Anapanasathi meditation.
12) Om meditation.
To attain up to the 4th form plane meditative level which means the 6th concentration level there is only one mechanism. That is, when practicing concentration upon these meditations each sign that comes forth clearly is the new sign that you should concentrate onto.
When the pure image aroused; you should concentrate onto the pure image. When concentrating on to pure image you wil go deeper and deeper into the 4th form plane meditative level.
To make it more easier to concentrate; gradual y increase the pure image til become like a vast bal by size similar to the great earth.
The pure image arises in the 2nd concentration level.
The mechanism of concentration meditations is wel explained by me in Chapter 12.
As you go forth in concentration levels, the only thing that needs to do is charming each fixed meditative level.
One concentrates onto an image with divine mind light which is form.
Therefore first 4 fixed trances are cal ed form trances – form plane meditative levels.
The yogi while he is in the 4th form plane meditative level; does not breath. The fire, the water, the poisonous gas, the weapon wil not harm him. He is incapable of being defeated by others. The same applies to al formless meditative levels.
That’s it.
Scenes saw by the divine eye segment:
A Buddhist monk whom we know wel , once sees a vision by the divine eye intel igence. This is a goddess who lives in a luxurious heaven world. This goddess was 6 feet tal . She was wearing a beautiful garment like an Indian saree which wears by actresses. Garment’s pattern and nature were such. That saree was mixed with blue colour, green colour, purple colour, and ash colour and was glowing wel blazing light. She was wearing a blouse that has long hands til to her elbows. In the saree and in the blouse where they cross each other; the above 4 colours were mixed nicely. Through the blouse and the saree, the body was not uncovered to the outward from any place. The goddess was wearing a belt over the saree. The width of the belt is 4
inches. There was an il uminating wheel-like jewelry created from a gem on the front side of the belt. Also, there were many glowing pearls and gems embedded around the belt. The hair of the goddess was long til her knees. The hair was cleverly braided and fal en down.
There was a tiara on the goddess’s head. Its figure was like a human ring. White blazing gems were embedded in the tiara. On her neck, there were 9 necklaces. These al necklaces were long til her thighs.
These al necklaces were woven with smal pearls, smal gems, and gold. Among these necklaces, there was one special necklace. It was long til her navel only. And there was a bright gem located in the last part of that special necklace. By size, that gem is equal to an orange fruit on the earth. That gem radiates a bright light equal to a 100-watt bulb on the earth. In short, she is a beautiful goddess like a one who has a big necklace with a light bulb on it. Typical y, goddesses are very playful. But this goddess was not like them. She is calm. She has a majestic nature. Yet she seemed a goddess who is very humble.
Chapter 14: Attaining 4 formless
trances. 卐
By using any of the below 12 meditations; the yogi must have attained the 4th form plane meditative level in order to attain formless meditative levels. They are;
1) Fire kasina meditation.
2) Light kasina meditation.
3) White kasina meditation.
4) Earth kasina meditation.
5) Water kasina meditation.
6) Yel ow kasina meditation.
7) Red kasina meditation.
8) Blue kasina meditation.
9) Space kasina meditation.
10) Air kasina meditation.
11) Anapanasathi meditation.
12) Om meditation.
Without the 6th concentration level which means the 4th form plane meditative level, no one can attain formless trances.
In formless trances one concentrates on to an intrinsic nature. The yogi does not concentrate on to a form. Therefore they are cal ed formless meditative levels – formless trances.
The yogi does not breath while in formless trances.
Formless trances are neither bright nor dark.
Formless meditative levels are exceedingly sweet than al the form plane meditative levels.
No matter how big the sound is; the yogi hears nothing while he is in any formless meditative level.
As the 6th concentration level which is the final form plane meditative level has equanimity and unification of mind as its trance components; al formless meditative levels also contain equanimity and unification of mind as their trance components.
If so, how do the formless trances become so different from the 4th form trance? The difference is in the objective.
In formless concentration levels; the consciousness is very fine. Finer than it was in the form plane meditative levels.
The 10th concentration level which is the 4th formless trance is exceedingly fine.
Attaining from 1st formless trance to 4th formless trance are taught systematical y below. Read on this book. .
Sphere of the infinity of space:
Here are the instructions to attain the sphere of the infinity of space.
This is the 1st formless meditative level. The 7th concentration level. 5th fixed trance.
The yogi who is in the 4th form plane meditative level now should consider making his consciousness element more finer.
The yogi who already attained the 4th form plane meditative level now should spread the divine mind light everywhere limitlessly.
When you resolve for that you see it instantly.
Now when you have spread the pure image with divine mind light everywhere without any limit; now resolve “may this light vanish!”.
Now light vanishes immediately.
Now this space that is seen by the mind has no limit.
Now your objective is this extraordinary space. Concentrate onto this space thinking as “infinite is space” or “space is infinite” or “infinite space” or “limitless space”.
This is how a meditation practitioner attains the 1st formless trance.
The people who know the cause and effect circle cal this ‘the sphere of the infinity of space’. Atheists cal this ‘Void’. Sankya philosophers name this ‘Purusa’. The Kundalini yogins cal this ‘Sahasrara Chakra’.
Isvara creationists cal this ‘Paramesvara’. Those who believe in almighty god cal this ‘the Almighty god’. Kala (Time) doctrinists cal this ‘Kala’. Furthermore, Madyamikas cal this ‘Madyama’. Naturalists and those who say al religions are one cal this ‘Al -pervading
Principle’. Some Yogins cal this ‘Isa’. People who believe in Saivagama cal this ‘Siva’. Vedantians cal this ‘Non-dual principal’. Soul doctrinists cal this ‘Paramathman’. ‘Krishna’, ‘Sunya’, ‘Laya’, ‘Turya’ and
‘Moksha’ are also synonyms for this state. Furthermore, Brahmavadins cal this ‘Parabrahman’. Vijnana doctrinists cal this ‘Maha-Vijnana’.
Tantrics cal this ‘Jagadananda stage’. This is the end of Aghor yoga science. In that yoga science; the one who came to this place is cal ed an ‘Avadhut’. Also, this is the ending place in the Astanga yoga science which means Raja yoga. In that yoga science; the one who came to this place is cal ed a ‘Jivan Mukta’. ‘Chinmatra’, ‘Akasa’, ‘Kevala’, ‘Kaivalya Pada’, ‘Parama Pada’, ‘Atman’, ‘Arupa mind’, ‘The mindless state’ and
‘Non-fluctuating nature’ are also synonyms for this state. Also in the 4
Vedas which are Rig, Yajur, Sama, Atharvan; this is the end. God realization is also a synonym for this state.
Sphere of the infinite consciousness:
Here are the instructions to attain the sphere of the infinite consciousness. This is the 2nd formless meditative level. The 8th concentration level. 6th fixed trance.
The yogi who already attained the 1st formless meditative level which is infinite is space now should consider making his consciousness more finer.
Then you should think; "the consciousness that is al over this infinite space is infinite."
Recognize the nature of consciousness element that is concentrated onto limitless space.
Then arise that perception on consciousness.
Try repeatedly. Concentrate onto that perception.
Thinking “infinite is consciousness”, “infinite is consciousness” in no long time you attain the 2nd formless meditative level.
Moksha is also a name for this state.
Sphere of nothingness:
Here are the instructions to attain the sphere of nothingness. This is the 3rd formless meditative level. The 9th concentration level. 7th fixed trance.
The yogi who already attained the 2nd formless meditative level which is infinite is consciousness now should consider making his consciousness more finer.
Now while in the 2nd formless meditative level; think about the emptiness of the 1st formless meditative level – the infinite is space.
Now it is not here. Think of its not existence now. Check by your present mind the none existence of the previous mind – the infinite is space mind.
Now arise the perception of nothingness.
Try repeatedly, thinking as “there is nothing whatsoever” or “there is nothing” or “nothing is there” or “nothing”.
By trying like this the 3rd formless meditative level wil arise.
Consciousness wil be concentrated onto the emptiness. Then keep concentrating into it.
Moksha is also a name for this state.
Sphere of neither perception nor none perception: Here are the instructions to attain the sphere of neither perception nor none perception. This is the 4th formless meditative level. The 10th concentration level. 8th fixed trance.
The yogi who already attained the 3rd formless meditative level which is ‘there is nothing' now should consider making his consciousness more finer.
He should think ‘this perception is a disease, a boil, a thorn. None-perception; this is right, tranquil and lofty.’
Now enter into the 3rd formless meditative level and arise from it.
Then think about that previously existed formless meditative level's nature as “this is fine, this is calm, this is delicious, this is sweet”.
Now concentrate to that fine abnormal sweetness as “sweet” or “this is sweet” or “this is fine” or “this is calm”.
Now when trying; a new mind wil be born taking its objective as the extraordinary nature of the previous 3rd formless meditative level.
This new state’s objective is the subtle nature of the 3rd formless trance but not the objective of the 3rd formless trance itself.
This mind concentrates onto the nature of the previous formless meditative level and is exceedingly fine. It is impossible to make the consciousness element more subtle than this. This is the end.
This is the end of Brahma science. This is the end of Brahma mantras.
This is the end of great yoga science. This is the end of al concentration meditations. Maha Moksha is also a name for this state.
Congratulations! You have now attained the mastery of concentration.
You are now in the finest level.
Miscellaneous segment:
Among the natures which are named as Form, Sensation, Perception, Formation, Consciousness; the Perception is special recognition. By changing the Perception alone; one can change al other natures too.
In formless trances no matter how big the sound is; the yogi is not disturbed by it.
The fineness of the sphere of neither perception nor none perception is beyond the power of describing power of words.
The space is 2 types. They are; The space with divine mind light and the space without form.
Due to form, beings come to destruction. Due to form; the being with a form is attacked by weapons, bitten by serpents, etc. And comes to grief. The one who analyzes the dangers of form wil easily come to the formless trances. In this universe, al formless trances are extremely special.
Student, al formless trances have an extraordinary neither bright nor dark innate nature. If I show you by the words, that is how I can do it.
In the universe; there exist only these 10 concentration levels. There is nothing more. Al Yoga sciences stop at one of them.
Al 10 concentration levels are mundane.
Scenes saw by the divine eye segment:
A Buddhist monk whom we know wel , once sees a vision by the divine eye intel igence. It is a ghost girl. Perceptions from inhuman worlds are always dark. Perceptions from god worlds and brahma worlds are always bright. The minds of inhuman beings are always fil ed with greed, fear, and hatred. Normal y poor these inhuman beings consider everyone to be their enemy. Inhuman worlds are often extremely
distorted worlds. This inhuman girl was living inside a human house on earth. Perhaps it is the house she lived in before she died. She looked like a 25 years old human girl. She was living in a bedroom of that house which belongs to some human beings. At the time when sees that bedroom by the divine eye; it was clean and neat. There were no human beings in that bedroom at that moment. No one was around and it looked desolate. Monk felt that this is the room she used when she was a human girl. The bedroom’s bed was neat and had a black bed sheet with one pil ow. The room was very calm and motionless.
And now, instantly from the bed’s bedsheet; there arose an inhuman girl, making her body coarse. Then she went away from the bedroom.
In a moment, she came back to the room and went into the bedsheet to sleep again. But now there is none on the bed. The bedsheet also stay neatly again. That means ghost girl lives under that bed. But no human being can see her. No one thinks that there is a ghost girl inside this bedroom’s bed. This ghost girl was wearing a frock. Even if she is a youth; she seemed very lurid. She walked like a dead body walking inside a room. Her face expressed fear and high desire. Her face expressed a mental state like “oh I wil lose my place!”. This female inhuman being creeps inside the bedsheet with a great greed like a cow goes to a water pit in a great drought. She goes inside the bedsheet and sleeps there. Perhaps she died by a deadly sickness at this house when she was a human girl.
Chapter 15: About supernatural
powers. 卐
Al supernatural powers can be obtained at the 4th form plane meditative level. To arise abilities of super-normal powers; one needs the 6th concentration level. Therefore a yogi should be clever in it. In low concentration levels, it is possible to do weak psychic power things.
But that is not the real supernatural power. For complete command over supernatural powers; it is essential the 6th concentration level.
When coming out from the 6th concentration level; the consciousness element comes directly to the 2nd concentration level with the power of the 6th concentration level and stays there.
The 2nd concentration level is a sense plane concentration level.
To switch between Kasina meditations; change the recognition. For an instance, in Space kasina one is in the space recognition. By changing the space recognition into light recognition; the yogi immediately switches to the light kasina. By changing the space recognition into yel ow perception; the yogi immediately switches to the yel ow kasina.
4th form plane meditative level trance components are equanimity and unification of mind.
The yogi while he is in the 4th form plane meditative level; does not breath.
6 distinctive intelligences:
These are the 6 distinctive intel igences. The consciousness element that has acquired these distinctive intel igences can do almost anything.
Listed below according to the difficulty level of acquiring.
1) Distinctive intel igence of supernatural power caused by mind: By this intel igence the yogi can create various bodies either equal to him or not equal to him and make them do various activities. These created bodies are perfectly completed by al body parts. They look like real living beings. If the yogi wants he can create even a mil ion. These created bodies have no life principles.
2) Distinctive intel igence of supernatural power methods: By this intel igence the yogi can do anything.
3) Distinctive intel igence of divine ear: By this intel igence the yogi can hear sounds in invisible worlds and in visible worlds up to 10000
galaxies distance. Alone Buddhas' range is more than that. And there is no limit for the lord Buddha.
4) Distinctive intel igence of knowing others’ thoughts: By this intel igence the yogi can know thoughts of any being – what they are thinking, in invisible worlds and in visible worlds up to 10000 galaxies.
Alone Buddhas' range is more than that. There is no limit for the reverend Omniscient One.
5) Distinctive intel igence of recol ection of past lives: By this intel igence the yogi can see past lives of him up to 40 great aeons. If he is a Buddhist that knows the cause and effect circle he can see up to 100000 great aeons. This difference is due to 2 reasons. Alone buddhas' range is more than that. There is no limit for the sage of sages.
6) Distinctive intel igence of divine eye: By this intel igence the yogi can see anything in past or in present or in future up to 40 aeons and in 10000 galaxies both in the visible world and invisible worlds. Can see past lives of other beings. Can see karmas and its results too. The divine eye can see and know various things. If he is a Buddhist that
knows the cause and effect circle he can see up to 100000 great aeons to past and to future. This difference is due to 2 reasons. Alone buddhas’ range is more than that. There is no limit for the reverend Omniscient One.
4 Legs of supernatural powers:
I am going to write the true meanings of the 4 legs of supernatural power. Now listen student.
1) Leg of Wil .
2) Leg of Effort.
3) Leg of Resolve.
4) Leg of Scrutiny.
What is the Leg of Wil ? The necessity to do some supernatural power action.
What is the Leg of Effort? The necessary energy level for supernatural powers which means the 6th concentration level.
What is the Leg of Resolve? Trying to make it happen.
What is the Leg of Scrutiny? The intel igence that is appropriate for each place.
By using these 4 legs a yogi moves to supernatural power actions.
I wil now mention a few of the gifts the Brahma science gives to a yogi.
Just a few gifts.
Stopping hunger:
In order to stop hunger, first make the mind somewhat concentrated.
A smal concentration is necessary. Then target the throat and keep your mind there. Now resolve “May this hunger vanish”. For this cessation of hunger; you don’t need any concentration level.
Sending telepathy messages:
Sending telepathy messages means sending a message from one mind to another mind. This is the procedure. Come to the 2nd concentration level. Now take the other person’s image onto in between eyebrows.
Give the message or the thought or the manipulation. No matter the distance; he wil receive it.
Healing bleeding wounds:
For healing bleeding wounds this is the procedure. Come to the 1st concentration level. Now target your wound. Now resolve “may this be healed”. The wound wil heal faster. However, due to this is not the 6th concentration level; there wil be no instant healing.
Avoiding enemies:
This is the procedure for avoiding enemies. Come to the 1st concentration level. Now target enemies or modes of enemies. Now resolve “May they wil not find me”. The enemies wil miss the yogi.
For complete avoiding from enemies; this is the procedure. Come to the 6th concentration level. Now arise from it. Now target enemies or appearances, modes of enemies. Now resolve “May they wil not find me”. Even the enemies of the yogi know where he is meditating; no matter how hard they try, they wil never become closer to the yogi.
They are removed far off.
Changing appearances:
This is the procedure for taking various appearances. Go to the 6th concentration level in Earth Kasina meditation. Now arise from it. Now keep the body in mind and keep the mind in body. This means the yogi should make them one. Impute as one. Now come to ‘pleasureful, lite’
perceptions. Then think of the appearance you like. Now resolve “let it be”. Instantly appearance changes. Now you can appear as another person. By changing appearances like this; you wil not be recognized by others.
Possessing others:
By possessing others, the yogi can control the minds and bodies of other beings. The yogi wil not have to surrender to others. Neither humans nor inhumans nor gods can subdue the yogi.
This is the procedure for possessing others. Come to the 6th concentration level. Again arise from it. Take the image of the being that you want to possess. Now targeting that being; enter.
Even if that creature is an animal, human, inhuman, or god; it wil stay according to the mind of the yogi. It is possible even to erase the memory. (Though the science of hypnosis has a limit; this is limitless.) Binding by mind:
Binding by the mind is binding by a thought. For this, needs the wheel of command. An example for this is; a bad cruel person tries to come to the yogi to hurt the yogi. Then when he comes with that thought making his legs not working but when he abandons that thought and faces another direction making his legs working as in normal conditions is an example for this psychic power.
Acquiring of divine ear:
This is the procedure for acquiring the distinctive intel igence of divine ear. After practicing; can acquire, work it instantly without this procedure.
Essential things: 4th form plane meditative level and natural hearing.
From the 4th form plane meditative level enter into the earth kasina meditation.
Rise from it. Get out from it. (Nevertheless, you stil have the power of it)
Now depending on the physical organ of hearing, attend to the sound sign.
Pay attention to sounds.
Hearing a sound afar off, or hearing a sound nearby, attend to the sound sign. Hearing a gross sound or hearing a fine sound; attend to the sound sign. Pay attention to sounds.
Hearing a sound from the east; attend to the sound sign. Thus as to al regions.
Practicing like this you tune the mind for this supernatural power.
You wil hear both the visible world’s sounds and the invisible world’s sounds. Even sounds of microscopic level beings. Practice much.
Now think about which sounds (voices or any sound) you want to hear.
You wil hear them instantly. (examples; sounds of microscopic creatures, a discussion of 2 men in a distant country, voices of inhumans, discussions of gods)
However, practicing this distinctive intel igence cleverly wil take some time. Try repeatedly.
Acquiring of intelligence of others’ thoughts: This is the procedure for acquiring the distinctive intel igence of knowing others’ thoughts. After practicing; can acquire, work it instantly without this procedure.
Essential things: 4th form plane meditative level.
From the 4th form plane meditative level enter into any of these 3
kasina meditations. They are; Fire kasina, White kasina, Light kasina. To switch between kasinas; change the perception.
Rise from the 6th concentration level and fil your body with light.
See the colour of your own heart in that light.
Through the colour of heart, you wil know your own states of consciousness. And wil know through the changes in colour the changes in your own mind.
As examples; “this colour proceeds from the mentality of joy, this colour proceeds from the mentality of wisdom, this colour proceeds from the mentality of metta, this colour proceeds from the mentality of equanimity”.
If the consciousness which is accompanied by the mentality of joy arises; the heart is of the colour of golden white.
If the consciousness which is accompanied by the mentality of melancholy arises; the heart is purple in colour.
If the consciousness which is accompanied by the mentality of equanimity arises; the heart is of the colour of whitish gold.
If the consciousness which is accompanied by the mentality of lustful desire arises; the heart is dark yel ow in colour.
If the consciousness which is accompanied by the mentality of jealousy arises; the heart is dark orange in colour.
If the consciousness which is accompanied by the mentality of anger arises; the heart is black in colour.
If the consciousness which is accompanied by the mentality of ignorance arises; the heart is brown in colour.
If the consciousness which is accompanied by confidence and wisdom arises; the heart is bright red in colour.
Like this, you should understand the changes of mentality through the changes in colour.
Diffuse other bodies with light and see the colour of others’ hearts through this special divine sight.
Now, understand the changing mentalities through the changes in their hearts, and the changes in their minds through the changing colours. Practice this much and be clever in it.
Having understood, cause the arising of intel igence of others’
mentalities.
Now, having aroused the intel igence of others’ mentalities, leave off attending to the changes of colour and hold to the heart only as objective. Set your intention to catch the thought – what he or she is currently thinking. Incline your mind to that. Practice like this.
Now, immediately becomes the real distinctive intel igence of knowing others thoughts.
By this distinctive intel igence; it is possible to know what even an ant is thinking in an instant. Yet, the knowledge of the thoughts of those
who are freed from cankers – the arahant monks; is not within the power of the commoner.
There is one thing to mention here; the thoughts of the Brahmas of the formless brahma worlds are knowable only by the Buddhas who have omniscient intel igence. By this intel igence, others cannot know the thoughts of the formless brahmas.
However, practicing this distinctive intel igence cleverly wil take some time. Try repeatedly.
Acquiring of intelligence of seeing past lives: This is the procedure for acquiring the distinctive intel igence of seeing past lives. After practicing; can acquire, work it instantly without this procedure.
Essential things: 4th form plane meditative level.
Enter into the 4th form plane meditative level and get out from it.
Recal what you had done in the al day. Al that you had done bodily, mental y, and verbal y. Thus also as regard the actions of the night.
In the same way, recol ect al that you had done during a day, during 2
days, and thus backward to one month.
If there happened any difficulty in backward remembering; enter again into the 6th concentration level and get out from it. And recal al your memories.
In the same way, remember al that you had done during 2 months, 1
year, 2 years, 3 years, and to the birth.
Try to go further backward. At this time the mind and the mental properties of the preceding birth and the mind and the mental
properties of the succeeding birth appear. At this time the distinctive intel igence of seeing past lives becomes to you.
Owing to the mind and the mental properties of the preceding birth, you got the succeeding birth.
Owing to the mind-succession, you are able to see the causes and conditions and remember the backward rol ing of consciousness element.
The two preceding and succeeding are not disjoined and are produced in this world, having been produced in that world. Through such practice of the mind that is purified, you remember your varied lot in the past.
Thus you remember one life, 2 lives, 3 lives, 4 lives, 5 lives, 6 lives and so forth. You remember al pertaining to that life. (Such as, my name was thus, I ate such and such food, I lived like that, I wore such garments, my form was such, I died like that etc.) When you see your 1st past life (last past life) you wil be exceedingly glad.
By this distinctive intel igence, one cannot see past lives of other creatures. For that, a yogi needs the divine eye.
However, practicing this distinctive intel igence cleverly wil take some time. Try repeatedly.
Acquiring of divine eye:
This is the procedure for acquiring the distinctive intel igence of divine eye. After practicing; can acquire, work it instantly without this procedure. The divine eye is multi-functional.
Essential things: 4th form plane meditative level and natural sight.
From the 4th form plane meditative level enter into any of these 3
kasina meditations. They are; Fire kasina, White kasina, Light kasina.
To acquire the divine eye; light kasina is very suitable than the other 2
kasinas.
Now arise from the 6th concentration level. And now with the intention of seeing invisible worlds; spread the divine mind light everywhere in al 10 directions limitlessly.
Resolve for the pervading of the divine mind light and it wil happen immediately. This light uncovers everything. Fil the light inside your body and outside world everywhere in al 10 directions limitlessly.
You wil see various beings coarse and fine, beautiful and ugly, pleasant and fearsome, faring wel or faring il , according to their deeds.
You wil see beings disappearing from one world and reappearing in another world.
Getting various knowledges:
Come to the 6th concentration level. And again, arise from it.
Target the ocean; gets the knowledge of the ocean.
Target the water drops in ocean; wil know the exact amount of water drops.
Target the sun; gets the knowledge of the solar system.
Target the pole star; receives the knowledge of the movements of stars.
Target the past; receives the intel igence of past.
Target the future; receives the intel igence of future.
Target each creature’s karmas; wil know the necessary thing.
Target your dead relative; knows his next life.
Target the karma which is bearing your own life; wil know the death of self.
If you want to see the past lives of other beings, then with that intention send your mind aiming for that. First, take that being onto in between your eyebrows.
For an instance, there is a boy you know. If you want to see his past life, then when you are in the 4th form plane meditative level, arise from it and think of your intention. Recol ect the looks of that boy and think
“his past life”. . Then you wil see his past life instantly. That’s it.
When seeing beings, if you want to know what karma they did to be born in such a world; then just think about it and you wil see it instantly. By this, you can see future lives of beings too.
However, practicing for this distinctive intel igence cleverly wil take some time. Try repeatedly.
Dying at will:
This is the procedure to die at wil . Enter into the 4th form plane meditative level and get out from it. Aim the heart. Now resolve (like this) “Stop the heart completely. Happen the death.” Now the yogi dies.
Supernatural power mechanism:
This is the supernatural power mechanism.
Coming to the 6th concentration level, then coming directly to the 2nd concentration level, and then resolving the necessity. And also using a suitable kasina meditation is required. Each Kasina gives special powers related to that Kasina perception.
For an instance, going through barriers can be done like this.
Enter into the 4th form trance of the space Kasina meditation. And then rise from it. Aim the wal or an area of the wal by your mind.
And resolve "let it be space". Now, instantly it becomes space. And you can go through it. It wil happen exactly according to your mind, what you thought, what you wanted.
Miscellaneous segment:
If the yogi practices one kind of concentration with the purpose of seeing forms through the divine eye, he can only see forms. He cannot hear sounds.
If he practices one kind of concentration for the purpose of hearing sounds through the divine ear, he can hear sounds only. He cannot see forms.
If he practices concentration for the purpose of seeing and hearing, he can see and hear. If he practices concentration for the purpose of
seeing, hearing, and knowing others’ thoughts; he can see forms, hear sounds, and know others’ thoughts.
If he practices concentration for the purpose of seeing in one direction, he cannot see forms in another direction, he cannot hear sounds and know others’ thoughts.
If he practices concentration much, limitlessly; he can see, hear and know others’ thoughts in al directions.
Scenes saw by the divine eye segment:
A Buddhist monk whom we know wel , once sees a vision by the divine eye intel igence. There was a family who often helps ascetics. They had one child only. He was a 15 years old boy. One day he faces a vehicle accident and dies by that accident. He was extremely wounded, his body broke into many pieces, and dies instantly at the place that accident happened. After 1 year and 8 months; a Buddhist monk finds where did he born again in the universe and what karma was behind the vehicle accident by using the divine eye. The Buddhist monk firstly finds the karma behind the road accident. He sees the previous life of the boy. A 70 years old man. He was a servant of a house. Was wearing garments of an Asian servant. The Buddhist monk sees a sharp weapon like a long knife. It was a very sharp weapon that is used by Asian vil agers to clear forests. That servant man cuts an orangish-yel ow colour serpent into many pieces. This was the scene about karma.
Then the Buddhist monk finds his next life. He sees a smal primary god who lives on earth. (Primary gods are not powerful gods) He seemed like a child. His look was like a 15 years old human boy. His body was somewhat fat. He was wearing a white shirt to his knees. And that
white colour shirt was without a col ar. Also was wearing a white colour hat. Al of his garments were somewhat similar to the garments which often undergraduates use when receiving a degree in convocation. Only the white short made a difference. His nature was a child-like primary god. These primary gods are not supreme gods who live on super luxury heaven worlds.
