Everyone seeks peace and harmony, because these are what
we lack in our lives. From time to time we all
experience agitation, irritation, disharmony, suffering;
and when one suffers from agitation, one does not keep
this misery limited to oneself. One keeps distributing
it to others as well. The agitation permeates the
atmosphere around the miserable person. Everyone who
comes into contact him also becomes irritated,
agitated. Certainly this is not the proper way to
live.
One
ought to live at peace with oneself and at peace with
others. After all, a human being is a social being.
One has to live in society-to live and deal with
others. How are we to live peacefully? How are we to
remain harmonious with ourselves, and to maintain peace
and harmony around us, so that others can also live
peacefully and harmoniously?
One
is agitated. To come out of the agitation, one has to
know the basic reason for it, the cause of the
suffering. If one investigates the problem, it will
become clear that whenever one starts generating any
negativity or defilement in the mind, one is bound to
become agitated. A negativity in the mind, a mental
defilement or impurity, cannot exist with peace and
harmony.
The
more one practices the Technology of Bay-Niyaazi, the
more quickly one will find one will come out of
negativity. Gradually the mind becomes freed of the
defilements: it becomes pure. A pure mind is always
full of love-selfless love for all others; full of
compassion for the failings and sufferings of others;
full of joy at their success and happiness; full of
equanimity in the face of any situation.
When one reaches this stage, the entire pattern of one’s
life starts changing. It is no longer possible to do
anything vocally or physically which will disturb the
peace and happiness of others. Instead, the balanced
mind not only becomes peaceful in itself, but it helps
others also to become peaceful. The atmosphere
surrounding such a person will become permeated with
peace and harmony, and this will start affecting others
too.
By
learning to remain balanced in the face of everything
one experiences inside, one develops detachment toward
all that one encounters in external situations as well.
However, this detachment is not escapism or indifference
to the problems of the world. An advanced Technology of
Bay-Niyaazi Practitioner becomes more sensitive to the
sufferings of others, and does his utmost to relieve
their suffering in whatever way one can-not with any
agitation but with a mind full of love, compassion and
equanimity. One learns holy indifferences-how to be
fully committed, fully involved in helping others, while
at the same time maintaining the balance of the mind.
In this way one remains peaceful and happy, while
working for the peace and happiness of others.
These steps as taught at the ‘TR Workshop’ of living a
moral life and controlling the mind are very necessary
and beneficial in themselves; but they will lead to
self-repression, unless one takes the final
step-purifying the mind of defilements by developing
insight into one’s own nature, and by experiencing one’s
own reality by the systematic and dispassionate
observation of the ever-changing mind-matter phenomenon
manifesting itself as sensation within oneself. This is
the culmination of the teaching of Masters:
self-purification by self-observation.
This can be practiced by one and all. Everyone faces
the problem of suffering; it is a universal disease
which requires a universal remedy-not a sectarian one.
When one suffers from anger, it is not a Muslim anger,
Buddhist anger, Hindu anger or Christian anger. Anger
is anger. When one becomes agitated as a result of this
anger, this agitation is not Muslim or Christian or
Hindu or Buddhist. The malady is universal. The remedy
must also be universal.
Technology of Bay-Niyazi is such a remedy. No one will
object to a code of living which respects the peace and
harmony of others. No one will object to the developing
control over the mind. No one will object to the
developing insight into one’s own reality, by which it
is possible to free the mind of negativity. Technology
of Bay-Niyazi is a universal path.
Observing reality as it is by observing the truth
inside- this is knowing oneself at the actual,
experimental level. As one practices, one keeps coming
out of the misery of defilements. From the gross,
external, apparent truth, one penetrates to the ultimate
truth of mind and matter. Then one transcends that and
experiences a truth which is beyond mind and matter,
beyond time and space, beyond the confined field of
relativity: the truth of total liberation from all
defilements, all impurities, all suffering. Whatever
name one gives this ultimate truth is irrelevant; it is
the final goal of everyone.
May
you all experience this ultimate truth. May all people
come out of their defilements, their misery. May they
enjoy real happiness, real peace, and real harmony.
