The Essentials of Satya-advaita Yoga in Practice
Satya-advaita yoga is translated into English as the yoga of Truth-accommodation. There are some basic features underlying this yoga.
Satya-advaita yoga must begin spiritually in bhakti and devotional surrender to God. Atheists will not be able to develop this yoga. Only in sincerest devotion and surrender to God are the fruits of the yoga realised in terms of the fathoming of reality.
There are different levels and planes of Reality and it is a continuous process for a yogi practicing satya-advaita yoga, and it could be decades before the art is mastered unless certain basic principles are adhered to from the outset, one of them being a belief in God. The premise of satya-advaita yoga is Truth is God and God is truth interchangeably. Once the yoga is mastered one has answers and responses to all the questions and issues that come one's way in the course of one's life, whether as a householder or as a sanyassi or monk in an ashrama away from society.
The satya-advaita yoga starts with the examination of the external environment when one has no idea of spirituality but a sincere belief that God exists and one has been going to temples and conducting rituals as a normal course of one's childhood as well as adulthood before any strict yoga is undertaken. There is no Power within or without that can descend on to the mind of a yogi for him or her to suddenly gain enlightenment.
If a person is a truth-seeker and practices dharma as an acknowledgment of God-bestowed meaning of life and in a universal manner, then God will come to the yogi and prove that He is present; that he exists. That is all that the yogi needs to be know to get on with his life. For living is what life is all about, and living must be done constructively and positively by immersing oneself in Nature. If one's devotion was strong enough God would come to the yogi as a devotee and awaken the individual into what treasures lies ahead for those who conduct satya-advaita yoga. This will include the fact that mundane work even as a formal scientist is noddy stuff compared with the treasures of truth that one can realise on the composition of Reality, and something which in the end generates great equanimity and ananda (joy).
The central feature of satya-advaita yoga is to not have any prejudices, biases, beliefs, and understanding of reality so that every single thought that establishes a certain concept to the mind should be detached in order to absorb new ideas from wherever they come. This does not mean that one cannot be critical of other sources of knowledge, but one must approach them from the angle of truth-probing and truth exposure. One has to reply and cover every single emial, telephone call, text message and never have correpondence unattended unresolved immediately. This gives the mind to move on to whatever comes next one's way. Having the last word is tantamount to lording over other human beings intellectually and is very important in moving in the right path towards total knowledge in a truth-path that the course identifies. It is a means to cover oneself against persecution for truth seekers will always be persecuted in society because they get to know more than what the average person knows and their actions then build a reputation to be admired by society and future generations as their legacy.
Satya-advaita yogis develop awareness of what is true and what is false and what are deceptions born of hidden agendas that other human beings instigate for their material welfare. For truth-accommodation yoga is a spiritual activity, beyond bodily needs when eventually one has no attachment to beliefs, not even to things that the yogi has created in the past, and no missions, no plans, no anticipations, no expectations, no hopes, no wishes, no ego and no desires materially or spiritually. The satya-advata yoga is at full liberty eventually even from considerations of God in his or her life.
In the process of truth-discovery the satya-advaita once he reaches this state of mind through sorting out his or her adversaries and generating evidence that are published for the world to read in the internet and in books that sell, knows that he or she only knows the truth when every one is silenced into inaction spoken or written. He or she then becomes the lord of the jungle.
All responses are truth raising if contemplated over, and one's reactions are buccaneering for more truths to emerge: one ignores correspondence received at one's peril, both materially and spiritually.
Yoga of the Mind, that is what satya-advaita yoga is. The yoga generates survival and survival in the dignity of liberty. I have been surviving like this since 2008 when I was last hospitalised under State Sectioning under its Mental Health Act by people I call criminals treating me for a mental disorder when all I was doing was seeking the truth, even in the hospital itself (2004, and 2008. One should do truth-buccaneering in the least violent manner possible, but even words spoken and swear words are permitted in withstanding persecution for they serve to raise the truth to the surface. Even blatant lies are permissible in one's bid to survive in liberty. This is an important part of satya-advaita yoga when the person is free to respond as it immediately occurs to him or her as the least offensive reaction to oppression. The reaction must be there with anyone or everyone that comes into one's path.
Always be content with each moment, still your mind, sleep as much as possible until tiredness goes and get up to look for something to do, most importantly, write. Develop your books and your website and publish everything to get it all into the public domain, for truth must be exposed and conserved. If that is your goal then you cannot go wrong in your actions.
Finally, to be a perfect satya-advaita yogi, never be attached to any action that one has taken at any given moment in time; and especially do not look forward to the fruits of those actions, for the action is done and over with and served the purpose so the yogi moves on. The action has probed the truth: silence immediatel is the answer one has. Always wait for something to turn up then take action: do not be proactive. Neither defend not attack. Just keep the conversation going naturally; the more knowledge you acquire the greater the scope for generating awareness for what needs to be done to secure one's liberty. My disciplinary charge at the University of Greenwich required probing actions to discover the reality of who was doing what to me and what their objectives were in doing what I saw as workplace harassment. With that single action of the University and even prior to that when I was being subjected to workplace harassment and suspension from the workplace, I reacted to those in 1997-1998 with the same probing words and actions, and this is fundamental to satya-advaita yoga. This is because Truth is the Ultimate Saviour: there is nothing higher in karma than truth-probing actions.
