Authentic Yoga Tradition

Suffering and Authentic Yoga –1
Why am I suffering in life? Did we ask this question consciously or happy with answers offered by the society, culture, religion and science.
Suffering and Authentic Yoga –2
If I continue to ask this question to society, relations, friends, books, scriptures, science, suffering will continue to exist in life.

Suffering and Authentic Yoga –3
If I always seek solutions of the problems of my life from the Outer Space – world, society, religion, science, money, profession, etc. I will always be defeated and will never be happy in my life.

Suffering and Authentic Yoga –4
This Seeking and Asking solutions of the problems must stop , what Authentic Yoga says , “Parang Chetna” or outward moving mind. This mind will never be able to find any answer of existential problems outside.

Suffering and Authentic Yoga –5
The very Seeker of the Solution is The Problem. Mind is the Problem. This is the barrier and the helper. If mind is the barrier – nothing and none in this world can ever help you to solve miseries of your life, even if a person /guru is enlightened one, if you are a billionaire, if you are most powerful person in the world.

Suffering and Authentic Yoga –6
Mind is the creator of all problems and miseries. Mind is seeker of solutions. Mind claims that it knows .This is ignorance.

Suffering and Authentic Yoga -7
Mind is the creator of all problems and miseries. Mind is seeker of solutions. Mind claims that it knows .This is ignorance. Mind had been conditioned by the external world —to Seek, To expect, to crave, to ask and to solve. However, none of them is the faculty of mind, as mind is only an instrument and not the master.
To become aware of this truth is the beginning to make this Mind a helper, guide
Suffering and Authentic Yoga -8
How to make this mind a helper? By asking the Mind to study the mind itself.
Let the Mind study itself in present and consciously here and now. You are reading- ask yourself – who is the reader? Whom is the seeker within? Is the reading bringing knowledge or liberation?
What is this mind? Why mind is after all? What mind says about YOU and not the world?
Suffering and Authentic Yoga -9
To know the mind first as an instrument is the beginning. Body is gross while mind is subtle. I am not the Mind and nor Mind is Me. Nevertheless, I possess this mind. Become aware that you are the possessor of this Mind. In this field of awareness, ask,” if mind is the instrument and I am not the mind, then who is this “I” deep within and beyond mind.” Who Am I?
Suffering and Authentic Yoga -10
Let YOU ask this question,” Who Am I.?” while taking the mind deep within. Let no thought interfere in asking. Let awareness take this question beyond all past, memory, and conditionings. Let me know what happens : what answer you get in this state?
Suffering and Authentic Yoga -11
I suffer due to this mind, which claims, as helper but never helps. This claims that it guides but always misguides. If mind is so intelligent in understanding the problem, then your mind should never enter into stress, sufferings, and problems at all. If mind knows where the problem is, then mind must solve it here and now.
The knowing of this mind, its nature, its movements, and its transformation is authentic yoga and the solutions of all problems and sufferings of life.
