We have three levels: Knowing, known and knower. Patanjali has also three levels: Dharana, dhyana and samadhi, that is samyama. (Focus, flow and merging)
Darshan, a vision, an insight, is in the highest only, in a merged unity state, corresponds to samadhi.
It begins with a vision, the seeing level.
But what grows by it is the seen, the object, that which is to be known, and that belongs to the second step. That happens in enquiring, it is a process. It means collecting facts, kind of scientific, but not really, because it has to be life experience.
Seen out of the light of Patanjali, the father of yoga and his yoga-sutras, each sutra should be applied in samyama. I is about the eight limbs of yoga, the last three, dharana, dhyana and samadhi, are samyama.
To short cut, easier to understand, dharana, is the seen and focus, dhyana is the seer and flow, samadhi is seeing and merging.
If we get a darshan by the master, highest level it corresponds to level samadhi, a merged unity state. It is seeing only, and then we have to enquire to find the seen, the objective level, concerning Patanjali that is focus dharana.
Focus on illusion for example, the seen, the object to be seen, to be understood, is fighting to the end, don't give up till the last sot is done.
If on that level it gets not complete, the known can get lost, the last sod is not done yet, it means hanging on the way. It has to be the end, it has to be the last sod.
There are always three levels, the seeing, the seen and the seer.
These are the same three levels in Patanali's samyama.
Samadhi level corresponds to the seeing. The dharana level corresponds to the seen. The dyana level corresponds to the seer.
The seen is the objective level, dharana, the focus. The seer the subjective level, dyana, the flow.
Keeping the focus on dharana, going on to the end until the last sod. When that is done, finishe the game happens by itself, as it is all there, nothing missing, the water flows. So it is really the dharana, the focus level which decides if it works or not, if not complete, it will not work, if the last sod is not done, the water will not be flowing. It has to be the end.
Dhyana level, the dig is dug, nothing to do anymore, the water flows by itself in it. That is the flow level, and it is on the subjective level, the insight, who am I.
Samadhi is seeing.
Dharana is the seen, and dhyana is the self level, the flow, the going on and on, no more limited as the level before, it looks like the last sod has made a cercle going on for ever, the object has become hole. It is on an ongoing level.
When Patanjali tells to apply the sutras in samyama, it is on that level, because on that level of flow, there is seeing possible and therefore, there are the insights, there is the master, on that level the sutras make sense.
Patanjali has seen those sutras, it is a seeing level.
But what happens, when the objective level is not complete?
The objectiv level has to be seen, science is part of it, but it has to have everything to make it real, it is a level of all possiblitites, also flying if…, on the objective level, it doesn't mean we fly, but it is a possiblity on that level. But that is still the known level, not yet the knower.
It is another level to be in the knower, to get to that level, the known has to be complete, whole, the last sod has to be done, the end has to be there.
It is of no use to repeat the sutra, and never get to the insight of the other levels, to end, to the knowing there has to be a last sod.
Important is to realize the difference between those three levels. It is important to realize samyama, not to fly.
With TM, repeating sutras, not aware of those three levels and their difference, reflection is no more, thoughts are no more, intellect doesn't work, just repetition of a mantra or sutra is programming the mind, and projecting it into the future, instead of realizing the seen, and by realizing the seen it realizes the seer. As the seen is not realized, also the seer cannot be realized.
It gets lost.
The sutra – known by the master, is a possiblity, on the objective level, but it has to get to that end, fighting to the end, to the last sod. It has to reach and find an aswer, otherwise it gets lost.
The self can only recognize itself in the mirror of the object, when it is there, not when it is still on the way and the last sod is not done.
It means getting stuck on the way, it never gets there, and it is daydreaming to think to be already there, when it is not so.
If the level of the seen is not realized, present, the seer cannot reflect and gets lost.
The problem with TM is, the level of the seen, it is not complete knowledge, something is missing, therefore it never gets full, the master is not there.
The known level has to be full, if the master is missing, it is not full.
But if it never gets full, just repetition, the realization is not possible, they never get there, they hang somewhere in the way, uprooted, they live in a state of believing it…, not knowing why it is not as it should be, not knowing why and what is missing, as they were told everything was there.
The knowledge is neighter pure, nor complete, so they get lost and don't know what to do, and why it is not there.
They focus on flying, just a possiblity on the known level, that doesn't make it whole, the last sod is missing, they didn't fight to the end, they gave up on the was, focussed on wrong stuff.
The self can reflect only, when the objective level of the known is full.
With TM it will never be full, so they wait it to get full, in thousand years maybe, when consciouness will be ready…
On that level right understanding is not possible, it is not right knowledge, and therefore, not the right path.
