  • THE MIND: ITS MYSTERIES AND CONTROL - 41. HINTS TO ASPIRANTS - Sri Swami Sivananda - The Mind: Its Mysteries and Control.Sri Swami Sivananda's Guidance on the Path of YogaIn The Mind: Its Mysteries and Control, Chapter 41, Sri Swami Sivananda provides profound guidance for spiritual aspirants, offering insights that serve as a roadmap for those striving to reach higher states of spiritual awareness. The chapter categorizes aspirants into three degrees: Arurukshu, Yunjana, and Yogarudha. Each level represents a distinct stage on the journey of spiritual growth, from an individual just beginning to approach the path of Yoga, to one who has achieved its ultimate purpose. Through this progression, Swami Sivananda outlines the key elements necessary for success: inner purity, moral courage, and a disciplined daily routine.The Three Degrees of Aspirants: Arurukshu, Yunjana, and YogarudhaSwami Sivananda classifies aspirants into three categories based on their level of spiritual practice:Arurukshu: This is the stage of the beginner, someone who has taken the first steps toward Yoga but is still learning the foundational principles. The Arurukshu is primarily focused on the desire to climb the spiritual ladder, often experiencing confusion, uncertainty, and difficulty in practice.Yunjana: The second level is for the aspirant who has committed to the rigorous practice of Yoga. A Yunjana is someone engaged in constant effort, performing the discipline diligently. However, the journey remains challenging, as the mind continues to wander and the practices may seem arduous.Yogarudha: The highest level of a Yoga aspirant, a Yogarudha has reached a state of mastery. This person has attained a profound connection with the Divine, remaining steadfast and unwavering in their practices and experiences. The Yogarudha represents the ideal state of a spiritual practitioner who has successfully transcended the limitations of the mind.These stages represent a natural progression of spiritual development, each requiring increasing levels of commitment, discipline, and insight. Aspirants must move from one stage to the next with patience, perseverance, and a deep understanding of the nature of the mind and its tendencies.Inner Purity: A Prerequisite for RealizationSwami Sivananda emphasizes that inner purity is indispensable for true spiritual realization. While many aspirants long for the realization of the Supreme Divine, they may not be prepared for the intensity and brilliance of the Divine Light when it manifests. The mind, tainted by impurity, is often not strong enough to withstand the overwhelming light of God. In this context, Sivananda compares the experience of divine realization to Arjuna’s trembling fear upon seeing the cosmic vision of Lord Krishna. Arjuna’s request for Krishna to revert to his usual form symbolizes the human capacity to be overwhelmed by the divine radiance when one is not sufficiently purified. To be ready for such a vision, the aspirant must undergo rigorous purification of both the body and mind. Realization of Brahman, the Supreme Cosmic Spirit, requires a mind that is subtle, clear, and determined. It demands patience, perseverance, and the ability to maintain cheerfulness in the face of challenges. The path is difficult, as the mind’s habitual tendencies—its attachments and distractions—are strong. However, the aspirant must steadily cultivate a calm, focused, and pure mind to withstand the divine light and experience true realization. The Need for Moral Strength and CourageThe path of an aspirant is often fraught with challenges, including misrepresentation, criticism, and misunderstanding from others. Spiritual aspirants who rise above conventional societal norms or seek to transcend material desires may face hostility from those who remain attached to worldly pursuits. Swami Sivananda underscores the importance of moral strength and courage in dealing with such opposition. In the face of adversity, a spiritual aspirant must remain steadfast in their convictions, regardless of the opinions or actions of others. The path of Yoga is not for the faint of heart; it requires the strength to endure insults and injuries with a cool, detached mind. Developing an indifference to the opinions of others—whether positive or negative—is a vital step in progressing spiritually. By rising above the ego’s attachments to friend or foe, the aspirant can remain centered in their own truth and moral convictions. Furthermore, as one advances on the spiritual path, it becomes essential to live according to one’s pure conscience and reason, rather than conforming to societal expectations or rules. This inner integrity supports spiritual growth and enables the aspirant to rise above the pettiness of worldly concerns. Tailoring the Spiritual Practice to the IndividualSwami Sivananda acknowledges that no single spiritual practice is universally suitable for all aspirants. Just as each person ...
