#heyamdukhamanagatam

[yogawithavery]

When it comes down to it, what keeps you showing up for asana? In over 2 decades of teaching, i’ve observed how usually the most dedicated students practice consistently because they know if they don’t, their suffering, pain, anxiety, inflammation etc will increase in ways that hugely impacts their life. Many people come to asana initially for relief. And for the first 5 to 10 years of practice, this often remains the driving force, although I’ve also seen with long-term practitioners how as time goes on, elements of spiritual, transformation, and body consciousness, etc. takes the lead. My initial interest in yoga was initially driven by inquiry about perception and consciousness, and a quest for understanding more intimately what does divinity, purpose, and being alive, really mean. The embodied element of asana was key, though, and the effects on my body, and especially my mind continue to fuel my commitment practice. I’m curious how this is especially for other folks who have a committed practice. Are you more motivated by spirituality/ joy, or by reducing suffering? Or would you answer this entirely outside those parameters? #heyamdukhamanagatam ☀️ I’m offering a free workshop in 6 days exploring how to clear the psychological barriers to practice, come!?

                                                      हेयं दुःखमनागतम्

An example of Raja Yoga to be practiced with this yoga sutra from Patanjali means utmost importance.” हेयं दुःखमनागतम्” - “Heyam Dukham Anagatam”-“The future suffering to be avoided” in English.

Supplementary information about the mental suffering process that should be avoided to be examined while meditating :

We shouldn't angry anyone, even though that one is not ariya. Upavada is blaming by angry.

The blaming can done by a wholesome mind, such as the blaming when Buddha created each vinaya rule, or by an unwholesome mind, such as ariya-upavada.

That unwholesome mind of upavada can take 2 object types: wrong condition object of under sotapanna's, and right condition object, sotapanna's and sakadagami's mind.

Example of wrong condition object: Under sotapanna blame an arahanta-bhikkhu "you are immoral (because you make love with a lady)". This case is fail, because arahanta doesn't has caving left to making love, except raped or sleeping..

Example of right condition object: the sotapanna blame an arahanta-bhikkhu "you are immoral (because you let your tear wet the Buddha's foots)". This case can be right because tearing Buddha's foots is not a good action, however if that sotapanna blame by unwholesome mind, angry, it is “upavada”.

As 'karmically unwholesome' (akusala) is considered every volitional act of body, speech, or mind, which is rooted in greed, hatred, or delusion. It is regarded as akusala, i.e. unwholesome or unskillful, as it produces evil and painful results in this or some future existence. The state of will or volition is really that which counts as action (kamma). It may manifest itself as action of the body, or speech; if it does not manifest itself outwardly, it is counted as “mental action”.

The state of greed (lobha), as also that of hatred (dosa), is always accompanied by ignorance (or delusion; moha), this latter being the primary root of all evil. Greed and hatred, however, cannot co-exist in one and the same moment of consciousness.
