From the works of Living Enlightened Master Paramahamsa Nithyananda. In this clip, Swamiji talks about the ambiance in which Shiva Sutras was delivered. Shiva Sutra was delivered to Devi. Shiva only began to speak the Shiva Sutras when there was only one person Devi relaxed into the causeless auspicious energy of Siva and it was only then Shiva delivered this great science. Swamiji tells us that in order to experience this sutra, we need to develop at least one honest relationship. Swamiji goes on to describe an incident from the life of Ramanuja where he answers a question from a seeker and tells him that if one cannot experience love they cannot experience God. Unless you have had atleast one relationship beyond your logical calculations, you cannot experience divine. Love can be used two ways one to turn the object and the other to turn to yourself. Those who have used love to the subject became enlightened. The discourse may be ordered online at www.lifeblissgalleria.org.

When the mind in meditation can be stable on the smallest and the largest, then it is truly under control. Yoga is the mastery, integration, and transcendence of all the fluctuations of the mind field. Then the "seer" rests in its own true nature as pure consciousness or purusha. With equality of purusha and the subtlest intelligence, there comes liberation, and that is the end. (from the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali) See also: http://www.swamij.com
