Prabhuji
Kriy-yoga for Happy Life
By Swami Nityananda Giri
In present day world we all have become slaves to our mind. Whatever we do,
we do simply being swayed away by our emotions, inuenced by our thoughts
and desires or being attracted by allurements. But this should not be like this.
We have to be master of our mind. If we go according to the wrong ideas of our
mind we will commit mistakes. For example we may meet a person ugly in
outlook and develop an unwelcome attitude towards the person but the person
may be very nice by nature. This means we are deluded by the ideas of our mind
and could not be able to take a right decision. But all our activities are rst
done in mind and then are expressed as speech and/or actions. And here our
mind is cheating us. Therefore we have to clean our mind so that we are not
cheated.
A pampered child demands a toy, then starts crying for it and after getting it
soon he is dissatised and either throws away or breaks the toy to cry for a
second one, similarly for third, fourth and so on. Our mind is like a pampered
child, like the spoiled son of a rich person who is addicted to alcohol or drugs,
wastes money and does not obey his parents and elders. First he did not control
his son from the beginning and now cry to the situation, still then is not able to
leave attachments. Similar is the situation of our mind. Can we do anything
positive with such a mind? We want to do something then after doing that we
think this was wrong. Again we want to do something and again commit the
same mistake. When shall we come out of the wrong impressions of the mind? If
our mind accepts something as noble even if that is not worthy to be noble, we
accept it as noble. Similarly if mind accepts something as horrible even if that is
honorable we accept it as horrible. Sometimes even if we understand proper, we
neglect it and do not work on it. We want to follow our ego blindly. This ego is
the spoiled child of our blind mind. This blind mind is king Dhtarstra and ego
is its elder son Duryodhana, full of desires. We live in this kingdom of
lawlessness. This is the reason we create problems for ourselves, and dangers
for others.
In rimad Bhagavad-Git (3-42) Lord Kna has said,
indriyi paryhurindriyebhyah param manah,
manasastu par buddhiryo buddheh paratastu sah.
Our organs, indriyi, viz. sense organs and action organs are said to be
greater, paryhuh (than our body), mind is greater than the organs,
indriyebhyah param manah, intellect is greater than the mind, manasastu par

buddhi, and one who, yah is greater than the intellect is He, buddheh paratastu
sah, the Self.
In this saying lies the solution to our problems. We have to bring our
mind under the control of our intellect means under the control of the
discriminating intellect, and intellect under the control of the Self. Then in our
life it is only happiness. According to the sayings of Lord Buddha, From right
understanding proceeds right thought; from right thought proceeds right
speech; from right speech proceeds right action and from right action proceeds
right livelihood. So we have to make noble our thinking, belief-system and
thought processes means we have to make our internal organ, mind, pure.
According to Upaniads,
reyaca preyaca manuyametastau sampartya vivinakti dhrah,
reyo hi dhrobhi preyaso vte
preyo mando yogakshemadvte. (Ka. U.: 1-2-2)
The preferable (the exulted ones), reyah, and pleasurable (the attached ones),
preyah, both approach a man, manuyametah. A man with discriminating
intellect, dhrah, separates, vivinakti, the two, tau and chooses, abhi vte, the
preferable in place of pleasurable, reyo hi preyaso; but a man with dull
intellect, mandah, prefers the pleasurable for the growth and protection, preyo
yogakshemadvte, of the body (for him body is the self).
But how a discriminating intellect will develop, how mind will be
cleaned? For this we need faith and devotion, we should read scriptures, control
the senses; and all these happens in mind only. So we need some thing where
mind is absorbed and that is our pra, the vital force. It was said in Yogic
scriptures, indriym mano nthah manonthastu mrutah, mind is the
master of sense organs and the air (breath) is master of the mind. So we have to
take the help of our breath. Everyone experienced that when there is anger,
greed, fear, sex, frustration, desires, emotions etc are in our mind our breath
also becomes dierent. That is the reason to keep our mind in equanimity we
have to make our breath stable. This is our practice. Entire Vedic literature
sings the glory of the knowledge of pra, pravidya. According to
Prnopaniad (6-4), sa pramasjata prcchradhm kham vyujyotirpah
pthivndriyam manh, annamanndvryam tapo mantrh karma lok lokeu ca
nma ca, He has rst created the pra, the Life Force. From pra he created
faith, ether, air, re, water, earth, organs, mind, food, vigour, austerities,
mantras, actions, worlds and name (for explanations see ch. Pravidy). Pra
is the rst part out of the sixteen parts of the God. Everything has been created
from pra and merges in pra and to know the pra we have to take the
support of our breath, pravyu. We have to learn propsn, worship of

pra; by that our internal subtle organs viz. mind etc will be pure,
concentration will increase, intellect will be sharp and discrimination capability
will develop. That is yoga, which is the practice part of yoga. That has been
known as kriy-yoga. This is the technique to balance the exhalation, pra, and
inhalation, apna; this is technique of suspension of breath, pryma. This is
the technique of merging the pra and apna, inhalation and exhalation in to
vyna, the air that wholly pervades in the body. And for higher yogis it is the
technique of winning over udna, the air in body that has upward trend. These
all are called Kriy-yoga. If we practice then there will be no tension in our life,
we will not become living dead-bodies. We will always remain in life. This is the
key to the happy life.
