Patanjali Yoga Sutras: Being Absent-minded – Sleeping during waking state
From the works of living enlightened master Paramahamsa Nithyananda, this clip is taken from Patanjali Yoga Sutras discourse delivered by Him in 2009. In this video clip, He describes the different levels and types of sleep. The clip particularly focuses on sleeping in waking state or being absent-minded. Two kinds of absent-mindedness are discussed – being absent-minded in outer world and second in the inner world. He says being absent-minded in inner world is the biggest disease one can have because we procrastinate our resolutions and vows. Addiction is also attributed to being absent-minded. Paramahamsa Nithyananda is an enlightened master living amidst us today. With a worldwide movement for meditation and inner bliss, Nithyananda continues to offer life solutions for things as trivial as every day stress to something as profound as enlightenment. Nithyananda conducts meditation programs all over the world. Inner Awakening is one such profound program. It is a 21 day experiential meditation program to live enlightenment or Jivan Mukthi. For more details, please visit www.innerawakening.org . You can also watch over 600 free discourses delivered by Nithyananda on topics ranging from Life Solutions to Sacred Scriptures to Enlightenment at www.youtube.com/lifeblissfoundation. Discourses by Paramahamsa Nithyananda in CD, DVD and book formats may be ordered online at www.lifeblissgalleria.com.

I am beginning to think this is a futile discussion as you don’t even know. Thanks for your time.

Only He knows what’s best for the humanity of this century. The truth is timeless but the techniques have to be adapted for the modern men who are more complicated than His former guru’s time. I won’t judge that these teachings are for people who are comfortable in the elementary class for their whole life. If you believe that His work is blessed by Existence, then trust that He has the same Existential Intelligence to guide today’s men to liberation.

@AnandaPrataap, clearly He is not the Guru for you hence you find that His teaching is too elementary for you as you are living in the nectar.
But have the compassion to see the whole – what He is doing for human consciousness at large.
When one has vitarka with master, He ensures that one continues to expand till He/she reaches the same state as Him. The path to self realisation is a continuous expansion, so no way that anyone wants to remain in elementary class.

The teachings of Patanjali… so “simple”, but yet so profound. I think it is fascinating.

Truth by itself is simple, it’s your intellectual ego which thinks that it has to be complicated.
Be very clear the elementary class which you so-called is for people with an innocent inner space who are not yet tainted by the intellect.
You can go on & on missing the path by belittling His teaching and organisation. You will never taste the nectar of your own ultimate liberation.

He repeats it because he has no new teachings. The elementary class he teaches is due to the students in the class.
