Sit straight. Place your hands on your knees. Stop your movements. Close your eyes. Keep your body straight and upright. In Prāṇāyāma Mudrā, close your eyes. If you cannot close them, then tie a cloth over your eyes. Inhale and exhale only through the left nostril. Only through the left nostril, inhale and exhale. Inhale through the left nostril and exhale through the right nostril. Observe your breath. How is it moving in and out? Ascending and descending breath, awareness. Also, be a witness of your vṛttis. Chitta vṛtti. What am I thinking now? How am I thinking now? What influence or effect do I have from Guruvākya? Just now Swamījī spoke. Inhale and exhale only through the left nostril. No movements. Keep your body straight. Keep your face straight. Do not turn your face towards the left side or the right side. Abdominal breath. Deep inhale through this abdomen, below the navel. Try to observe the breath deep below the navel. I know that I am inhaling. I know that I am exhaling. I know that I am inhaling. And I know that I am exhaling through the left nostril. Try to collect all your thoughts, all your vṛttis, and try to select those thoughts which are very important. Send away the rest of all nonsense thoughts; clear them up. Be aware of your thoughts. There is one man collecting in big baskets many, many small stones from the river. Out of thousands of stones, he found one precious stone. He rejects all the other stones. Similarly, all our worldly thoughts—all the restless thoughts, all the thoughts of jealousy, anger, hate, greed, and laziness—they are not useful. Only one thought: ātmā, ahaṁ brahmāsmī. Search for that precious thought. I know that I am inhaling. I know that I am exhaling. My breath is very smooth. Keep inhaling and slowly, long exhale. Relax. Do not let any thought in or out without your knowing. Tadā draṣṭuḥ svarūpe avasthānam: what you will think, like that you will be. So fix yourself with ātmājñāna. Take yourself to ātmājñāna, thoughts of ātmā, thoughts on ātmā only. Inhale and exhale through the left nostril. Your eyes should be closed. If you cannot close them, tie a tight cloth on your eyes, then practice. If you cannot close your eyes… you will not be successful because, with your eyes, you have so many vṛttis. Close your eyes and be one with this deep inhale and slowly exhale. I know I am inhaling. I know that I am exhaling. I know what kind of thoughts are going in and out in my conscience. Reject those thoughts which make you restless, which make you angry, which make you jealous, which make you greedy, which create in you fear and uncertainty. Delete them out of your citta. Only pure vṛttis. I know that I am inhaling. I know that I am exhaling. Keep your body straight and upright. Keep your body straight. Keep your eyes closed. Deep inhale and exhale. Check your citta-vṛttis. Have you reduced them, or have they multiplied? It depends on you only, how you create the outer world. How you perceive the outer world, like that, that is a sign of your inner world. Deep inhale, and slowly exhale. And now, place your hand on the knee. Remain with closed eyes, observe your vṛttis. What kind of benefit do you have from the thought of that vṛtti which you have now? Kliṣṭā and akliṣṭā vṛtti. The kliṣṭa vṛtti means which is harmful for your sādhanā, which is an obstacle for your spiritual progress, which is a destructive thought for you. That is kliṣṭavṛtti. Close your eyes. If you cannot, then tie the cloth on your eyes. A kliṣṭa vṛtti, which doesn’t create any restless, negative thoughts, good vṛtti, and you should know the difference between good and bad. If your inner world is like a wild jungle, many, many wild animals, beautiful and harmful, that means you cannot keep your eyes closed. If your inner world is positive and beautiful, then you are not afraid. You just close your eyes and be one with thyself. Always opening your eyes means you want to run away from your inner world, your inner karma, your qualities, not the qualities of others. Only you can help yourself. Again, Prāṇāyāma Mudrā: inhale and exhale only through the right nostril, Piṅgalā or Sūrya Nāḍī. Keep your eyes closed. Keep your body straight. And how beautiful it is that this prāṇa flows with oxygen, with this gentle, very fine air, goes through your lungs, the whole respiratory system, which supplies your whole body. This beautiful pranic energy tranquilizes your thoughts and emotions. It clears up all your restlessness, and you become one with thyself. I know that I am inhaling through the Sūryanāḍī. I know that I am exhaling through the Sūryanāḍī. Do not try to look between your fingers to me. I know who is opening eyes and looking through the fingers. Do not press your lungs. Keep your body straight. Keep on inhaling and exhaling. Through the Sūryanāḍī center, your thoughts and I will center. When Ājñā Chakra is followed, your thoughts, I know what I am thinking. Is this thought what you are thinking healthy for you and for others? Prāṇāyāma, Nāḍī Śodhana Prāṇāyāma, Sūryabhedana and Chandrabhedana is the best technique to harmonize citta vṛttis, to reduce the negative thoughts, to become aware of your qualities, and to be one with thyself in your inner form. Ātmā. Now, slowly, after the exhalation, place your hand on the knee and feel your normal breath. Observe your thoughts. What do I think? What did I think? Why do I think like this? What should I think? What do I think? Should I think? If this vṛtti is harmful, should I still keep it in me? Why? Observe your thoughts and keep your eyes closed. Do not open them, always like a monkey. Deep inhale. And chant OṂ. We will chant OṂ all three times together. Deep inhale. Take your palms, place the palms on the face, and warm your face muscles, and massage your eyelids, and open eyes. And you open your eyes.
