166 GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART-II dishJTaced. At last, when they were unable to do anything, they came and fell at the Guru's feet. The failure of the ascetics is described in the book 'Hakikat Rah Mukam' as follows: 'The Bhatrian's house and Kajli forest is 60 kilometers. A woman is the ruler. There is a gurdwara of the Guru. The holy conhJTegation assembles at Bhatrian's house. There, the Guru had discussions with the ascetics. Then the ascetics tried their supernatural powers but failed and then fell at the Guru's feet. The name of that place is Kajli forest. A woman is the ruler. In this way, all ascetics became ahJTeeable to Bhartari. Then one day Bhartari asked the Guru regarding the path of 'Love of the Lord' and the yoga as preached by the Guru. Bhartari: Is it that you absolutely do not approve the Hath yoga? Guru: a Bhartari YOhri. It is the Un-enlightened era (Kalyug) now. People are away from truth and good character. Even, the body is not that healthy now. People do not have the strenhrth to do Hath yoga. The vices have made the pe?ple dull and in suffering. The sadhus have renounced the world for their practices. They have got away from the people. But now, by the hJTace of God, it has become easy. So, the path that a few ascetics sit in meditation in the forest is not right. The need is that everybody should be a saint. This is more beneficial. Bhartari: You mean family man also and saint also. Guru: Yes. There is difference in your yoga and my yoga. Firstly, your ascetics are in empty rituals only. Secondly, they try to cpntrol the body passions stubbornly. Then if you say Raj yoga, even that'you practice for thoughtlessness of mind. The mind should stop wandering, the senses should be controlled and reach a stage of thoughtlessness. For this, you have to depend on your body strenhrth and Hath yoga for which you get away from the people and become recluses and go to the hills or forests. When you are not happy there, then you get into drinking to pass time. Even if somebody reaches the stage of thoughtlessness he does not reach the Supreme power. He is still away from the goal. This again is a shortcoming. Bhartari: A person who has reached the stage of thoughtlessness, is he still deficient? Guru: Yes, it is still being at a distance from the Supreme power. Our aim has to be realization of the Supreme power. So, from the behrinning only, we should start with that aim. Bhartari: By Supreme power you mean God, The Lord. We also believe in God. We are not atheists. Page 176 www.sikhbookclub.com
GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART-II Guru: You do believe, but the Hath yoga that you do, you get stuck in the supernatural powers and even if you go ahead you go up to thoughtlessness. Bhartari: Yes, you are right. This is thoughtlessness. This is the result of internalized meditation. Guru: I say, that the devotion is complete only when you reach the Lord. If, one does not reach the Lord, then just believing in the Lord is of no value. Bhartari: 0 true Guru, you are right. We only do Hath yoga by which we become free from body passions and we prolong our life. But a few of us go for Raj yoga. Guru: Your disciples who are practising Hath yoga mostly do it for supernatural powers so that they get fame and a following. There would be hardly any who will go for Raj yoga. Bhartari: Maybe, you are right. What is the name of your yoga? Guru: You have asked the name of my yoga. There is no place for Hath yoga in my yoga, nor any place for artificiality. My practice is for ecstasy, that you get by meeting the Lord. I call it eternal happiness. When you are enjoying the eternal happiness then we say, we are immersed in the Lord's love, and this yoga I may call it Sahaj yoga. I may call it Raj yoga also. In your type of Raj yoga you renounce the wealth, family and house but in my Raj yoga, we live in the family with detached mind, but mind attached to the Lord, we call it Raj yoga. Our Raj yoga in steadiness is Sahaj yoga. It means we are immersed in the love ofthe Lord all the time without any effort and that has become our nature. Bhartari: 0 true Guru, you don't practice 'Breath control', yo,gic exercises for the body, 'exercise to clean intestines', burning ofsacrificial fire, and other rituals of Hath yoga. You don't ask people to leave the family and the house. Then how do you preach your Sahaj yoga? Guru: As you wish that the mind should concentrate in itself and be away from passions that is why you ask the people to leave the house and leave the family. We wish that we should remain enhTfossed in the ceaseless remembrance of the Almighty Lord. When one is enhTfossed in the ceaseless remembrance of the Lord, then automatically the mind is detached from the world. We don't have to make any effort to remain away from the world. We don't have to worry about it. Automatically, the mind remains detached from the world, so much so, that even while working and doing other worldly chores the mind remains unaffected. This is our Sahaj yoga. Bhartari: But how? You give some easy example. Page 177 www.sikhbookclub.com 167
