WHAT TO DO AFTER MAHAYANA YOGA
Now the Mahayana Yoga had ended. Where will he go now? He
becomes the inhibitant in the Astral world. Than what will he do
in the Astral world? This will be the tomorrow's subject. It goes
on to "Astral Yoga" and "Causal Yoga". And at the stage when one
made the perfection of the Causal Yoga, he enters Mahayana, which
is the ultimate enlightenment.
In the scripture of Buddha Sakyamuni, there is a phrase as
follows; "I had done everything which I had to do. There is
nothing left that I should do."
On the other hand, it is written, "Some of them obtained three
brightness, and some of them obtained three brightness and six
supernatural powers." in the state mentioned above. Why can the
final results be different if they had done everything, in other
words, went through everything which they had to do? This is a
contradiction.
Let me explain to you. It is not the state of Mahayana wheen they
speak about the state when one had done what he had to done. In
fact it means, "Everything which had to be done in this life".
Jnana Yoga cuts thekarma which is related to this life. And the
Yogas which comes after this are the Yoga concerning with the
Astral world and the Causal world.
So one can say that he had done the everything which he had done
at the perfection of Jnana Yoga. This is also the case with
Mahayana Yoga which comes after this. Also the same with Astral
Yoga and Causal Yoga. In other words, there are four ranks in the
state when one had done everything which one should have done. So
it is natural that what they obtained is different. So it is the
lack of enough explanation of the sutra.
WHAT IS KARMA YOGA, WHAT IS BHAKTI YOGA
Yesterday, there was a question, "In which Yoga does the Karma
Yoga and the Bhakti Yoga consisted in?
First of all, let me explain to you what is the Karma Yoga. In
short, it is "the Yoga to consider everyone as teacher". For
example, let's say that there was a man who is doing bad thing.
You should think, "He is teaching me that I should not do such bad
thing.". Let's say that there was another man who is doing good
thing. You should think, "It is a good karma if I accumulate good
deeds like him. My mind can be bright if I do so." These are the
basement for the Karma Yoga.
At the time the Karma Yoga were to come to perfection, one can
understand the law of karma by looking at the return of bad karma
to the former person who had accumulated bad karma, and the return
of good karma to the latter person who had accumulated good karma.
This is the essence of the Karma Yoga.
The Karma Yoga is the Yoga to observe the karma in the outer
world. You can consider Jnana Yoga as teh YOga to fight against
the karma in the inner world so as to eradicate karma. So the
Karma Yoga is related to Jnana Yoga.
Next is about the Bhakti Yoga. It is said that the Bhakti Yoga is
the Yoga of devotion toward god. It is the practice to symchronize
oneself to the will of god and the will of Guru. This Yoga is
necessary for Kundalini Yoga, Jnana Yoga, and Mahayana Yoga.
In Kundalini Yoga, one accumulate merit by the devotion to god or
Guru so as to fly to the high Astral world. In Jnana Yoga, one
analyzes the karma nad realize that the karma is the will of god,
and that the karma is given to me so as to experience various
things. And in Mahayana Yoga, one practices love which is the will
of god. So all three Yogas concerns with god.
So Bhakti Yoga as well as Karma Yoga which I had mentioned
earlier can be practced along with the process of other Yogas. No,
they should be practiced along with this process of Yogas which I
have been talking about.
