विपश्यना साधना – पहला दिन ( Vipassana meditation Discourse No. 1 )

आचार्य श्री सत्य नारायण गोयन्काजी के इन अमूल्य वचनों की तलाश मुझे कई दिनों से थी । दस दिनों तक चलने वाले शिविरों  मे अपना समय निकालना एक समस्या लगती है । कल जब इन वीडियो को मेगाअपलोड पर देखा तो इनको सब के  साथ बाँट देने का लोभ छॊड न पाया ।

The Five Hindrances

“ Moments of Awakening “  is a page created  by Allan O'Marra ; It’s a series of paintings that metaphorically illustrate moments of transcendence on the path to the realization of enlightenment.
The Buddha likened the 5 hindrances to 5 kinds of impurities affecting a bowl of water, preventing one from seeing one's own reflection as it really is & they are :

  • Sensual Desire or Greed
  • Aversion or Ill-will
  • Sloth and Torpor
  • Restlessness and Anxiety
  • Doubt

sensualDesires8

Sensual Desire or Greed : is like a colorful water surface colored by paint, that interferes with our ability to see clearly.

illWilFinal8

Aversion or Ill-will  : is like a bubbling, boiling water surface that obscures our ability to see clearly. 

drowsy8


Sloth and Torpor : is like a stagnant water surface that obscures our ability to see clearly.  

restlessness8

Restlessness and Anxiety  : is like a churned up water surface with waves that interferes with our ability to see clearly.

doubt8

Doubt : is like a muddy water surface that clouds our ability to see clearly.

Open Space

मुक्त आकाश की परिकल्पना क्या हम अपने साथ नही कर सकते ? क्यूं हम इतनी अधिक पीडओं से गुजरते हैं , उनको अपनी जिंदगी का अह्म हिस्सा बना लेते हैं और फ़िर उनको छोडना हमारे लिये नामुनिकन सा हो जाता है । मन जिस को एक तरफ़ अस्वीकृत करता है उसकी न सुनते हुये हम उन कडवाहटॊ को न सिर्फ़ अपनाते हैं बल्कि अपने को हानि भी पहुँचाते रहते हैं ।

लेकिन इस चाल को नम्रता और अभ्यास से मुक्त भी कर सकते हैं । बजाय इसके कि इन कड्वाहटॊं  के  विरुद्ध संधर्ष करें हम जागृत होकर इन परिस्थितियों से बखूबी निजात पा सकते हैं क्योंकि हर इन्सान मे मुक्त आकाश की जगह अवशय है , बस देर है  जागृत होकर  उसको    तलाशने   की ।

It is never too late for any of us to look at our minds. We can always sit down and allow the space for anything to arise. Sometimes we have a shocking experience of ourselves. Sometimes we try to hide. Sometimes we have a surprising experience of ourselves. Often we get carried away. Without judging, without buying into likes and dislikes, we can always encourage ourselves to just be here again and again and again.

The painful thing is that when we buy into disapproval, we are practicing disapproval. When we buy into harshness, we are practicing harshness. The more we do it, the stronger these qualities become. How sad it is that we become so expert at causing harm to ourselves and others.

The trick then is to practice gentleness and letting go. We can learn to meet whatever arises with curiosity and not make it such a big deal. Instead of struggling against the force of confusion, we could meet it and relax. When we do that, we gradually discover that clarity is always there. In the middle of the worst scenario of the worst person in the world, in the midst of heavy dialogue with ourselves, open space is always there.

~  Pema Chodron, from "When Things Fall Apart"
