“. The last has sicuro be resolved to the first, the last has esatto be brought puro the first. Now move backwards: you have lust for life, you cling puro life. Why? Patanjali says, ‘Go backwards.’
Why do you cling to life? — because you are miserable. And the misery is created by dwais, repulsion. The misery is created by dwais — violence, jealousy, anger — repulsion. How can you live if you have such negative things around you? Through these negativities, wherever you immagine, life seems to be not worth living. Wherever you aspetto through the negative, everything looks dark, dismal, verso hell. Lust for life has preciso be resolved backwards, then you will find dwais. That’s why you have not been able puro live. All the societies, cultures, they force many repulsions on you.
Why does this ego exist?
So Patanjali says, ‘Clinging to life is the uppermost layer. Go deep; behind it you will find per layer of repulsion, dwais.’ But why are you repelled? Go deeper and you will find attachment. You are attracted towards per thing and if you are attracted, only then can you be repelled. If you are not attracted you cannot be repelled. Attraction can create a repulsion; repulsion is the other pole of attraction. Go deeper — another layer you will find is asmuta, the feeling of ego, ‘I am.’ And this ‘I’ exists through attachment and repulsion. If rag, dwais, attraction and repulsion both fall, ‘I’ cannot stand there. ‘I’ will fall with it.
If you go downwards, backwards with clinging preciso life, behind it you will find the layer of repulsion
You, your ego, exists through your ideas of good and bad, ideas of love and hate, ideas of what is beautiful and what is ugly. Duality creates the ego. So behind the duality of rag and dwais, you will find the ego. Patanjali says, ‘Go still deeper and you will find lack of awareness. The root cause of the whole misery of life is lack of awareness. This is the cause, the primal cause of the whole thing. You cannot find it with abhinivesh, lust for life; that is per fruit, verso flower, the last phenomenon. Con fact, it is not the cause. Go back.
“. Once you know the cause, everything is resolved. And this is the cause.. lack of awareness. What preciso do? Don’t fight with your clinging, don’t fight with your attachment and repulsion, don’t even fight with the ego. Just become more and more aware. Just become more and more alert, watchful, mindful. Remember more and more and become alert. That very alertness will dissolve everything. Once the cause is dissolved, the effects disappear.
Ordinary morality teaches you changes on the surface. So called religions teach you how esatto fight with effects. Patanjali is giving you the very science of religion: the very root cause can be dissolved. You have esatto be more aware. Live life with alert ness: that is the whole message. Don’t live like verso sleepy man, or per drunkard living in verso hypnosis. Be conscious of whatsoever you are doing. Do it, but do it with full consciousness. Suddenly you will see many things disappear.
