Two Important Disciplines You Must Follow for Spirituality to Blossom|Yama & Niyama|PDivyananda

I believe that if you want to improve your concentration, your focus, if you want to stay motivated by yourself all the time, you have to learn to quiet your system so that the Mind just wakes up to reality, so to achieve this, there are certain fundamental

disciplines

that are they give you in yoga nyam they are the very simple basic

disciplines

that are given to you to achieve stillness, stability of the body and mind and to be able to enter into real yoga; otherwise it is a know a lot is going on for yoga nowadays so without any discipline without any commitment if you immerse yourself in it you will get very little out of it but if you do it as required you will get what what are you looking for so yamka there are five disciplines in yum the fundamentals of yoga one discipline is the first is what is called ahimsa nonviolence a nonviolent mental attitude please check your thought process and say what you call negative thoughts many of them are based on violence anger hate jealousy If it is tinged with violence you don't want it to happen but it has become part of your thought process so by removing this from your thoughts only the

follow

ing are possible. positive mental states, so when you remove yourself from your mind, the mind fills with positivity. don't ask right away what if the other person is doing it sir if we are establishing ahimsa no one can do it by themselves you know this is an

important

law in human life if by nature you are loving and kind and accept all basically spiritual, no one can hurt you much, it just won't occur to them, so ahimsa, the fundamental discipline of yoga, is meant for this, so that your mind achieves the stability required for yoga, this is the first discipline, the second is Satya which means commitment to the truth in thought word and action what you say is what you think what you think is what you do the three do not go in different directions so this is Satya he does not just tell the truth that is just the first step but you mean what you say and you base your actions on what you say and think this is Satya the third is astaya which means no steel now i don't understand this this should be understood in a subtle way no steel of no way you try to build a fake ego your copyright theft plagiarism all of this is included in asthaya the trend in research there is a lot of plagiarism so this trend should not be in the mind that is setting in astheya , which means that I am not borrowing that knowledge or taking that which does not belong to me I am not going to flatter my ego because I am in search of the truth about myself so this is an essential discipline of the Mind the fourth is brahmacharya see this was fundamental in our education process in the past in the vedic era why this is recommended is because you keep your energies in your hands brahmacharya essentially means sending pranayak energy to the heart center when you do that what happens intense clarity you remain you are in a kind of free body consciousness you have all your mental powers in your hands so you can apply the mind to anything and it will have s success there is essentially holding your energies in your hands without this discipline your energies remain dissipated and it takes a lot of effort to bring them together that is why this essential discipline of brahmacharya there is another volatile point here, which is

important

for yoga. to the lower chakras to the lower centers only the Consciousness of the body will prevail even the Consciousness of the mind the mental consciousness does not increase but if you entrust them to the heart and above the body of the heart the Consciousness Falls only the mental consciousness remains and you go beyond even the higher dimensions of consciousness will open up to you so this art of engaging life energy to the higher centers was fundamental to any great achievement and the science of it is being given to you in yoga, it is actually a science that holds your energies in your hands and is the normal process of a decent life, is a way of living beyond mere body awareness. so this is another fundamental discipline emphasized so you have a paragraph it means not accepting gifts why you know it obliges you to The Gift Giver when you take something from someone you develop a soft corner for that person in this way your mind that wants to get into yoga states you can't engage your energies you can't engage this way that's why you don't accept things from others you can give as much as you can but don't accept this is another discipline so you have the closest set of disciplines five other disciplines the first is shosha essentially are disciplines of your senses and your mind your mind

yama

ucha is general cleansing of body and mind then santosha contentment if you know the art of contentment if you have felt it you can be happy with very little those who are not happy with many things They can also be very unhappy so these are all fundamental disciplines for staying in positive happy states of mind.

So there it is tapas that we already discussed tapasya is to turn the mind a little inward in whatever way you do it is a certain level of self control that they try to practice so that your energy increases and then swadhyay is a good study self study every day we see each other people study I very much know how busy your waking hours are. Do you do any amount of elevation study every day? an elevated thought throughout the day through everything you do, whatever work you do in your room, in your classroom, in your laboratory, there will be an undercurrent of this elevated thought, so it will help you in various ways easily a small amount of self-study scripture study every day.

I would recommend that there are small books. two books with you every day read Just a thought and it will just hit you it will help you even build concentration to set your life up for success it will help you so this swadhya should stand alone it is par for the course so I have to do it after the course I'll stop it is it's part of your life now so it essentially means surrender to God surrender to the higher power whatever you're doing finally make it an offering to the Divine in whatever way you want to do it but if you just attribute things to your ego will take you away from the path of yoga, that is why this discipline is there. and stable some depth will go into you you will become a natural leader you know everyone will look up to you if you maintain these basic standards of life you see little disciplines but you develop a mind that is very high very big capable of all foreign achievement
