T he nature of bondage is such that a person in bondage is unaware of it. He is oblivi- ous of how and when he got into it. A person who finds himself in shackles finds it difficult to abandon thoughts of being in bondage. He is afraid to discard it for he fears losing his own identity and the self. He, therefore, finds bondage conven- ient and safe. Such a person is unable to attain freedom and remains deprived of the bliss to which he is entitled to since birth. Bondage is a mental disposition and baggage that we carry throughout our lives because of our deep identification with the external world.We can spend our entire life in it. Bondage happens when we intimately identify ourselves with the body-mind complex and its attributes, with which we grow up. Our mind is an instrument of experiencing the world ‘out there’. However, it’s able to process and present only a fractional reality and not the whole. It also creates certain at- tributes that are otherwise absent in the external reality;for instance,colours and sounds are qualities created by the mind and are not out there in the external world.There exists only pressure waves and electromagnetic spectrum and this is what creates and projects the world that we perceive. The external reality comprises nu- merous mental constructs and we in- tensely identify with them along with pleasure and pain and carry them as bag- gage throughout our lives. As bondage is a state, so is freedom. Our efforts are always towards realising this freedom.To attain liberation,a shift of understanding is required that comes through right knowledge of what bondage is.To know light,one should know darkness; to know liberty, one should know slavery.A per- son who un- derstands these well, invariably understands light and liberty, too. Right knowledge of what consti- tutes bondage is vital and once bondage is truly known, it just drops and free- dom emerges.Nature of bondage is that it simply drops once its compositional truth is known and understood. Unsatiated desires, limiting beliefs and traits of jealousy, hate, prejudices, biases,and possessiveness are merely cre- ated by the mind and are absent in phys- ical reality.They result from incomplete processing of reality by a mind that proj- ects only partial truths.These attributes are then vented out through a regular display of abnormal behaviours by trans- forming into a compulsive need to pre- vail, control and subjugate others or manifests as an extreme display of pos- sessiveness in relationships, an intense need to acquire,achieve and own more and more.We remain ignorant of the fact that they are created by our mind and have little or no significance. With the right understanding of the mind, its functions and limitations, we gain awareness of its true nature.This enables us to precisely know what bondage is;how it arose and helps us to let go the limiting attributes of the mind. While doing so, we are being good to ourselves more than to others.As we let go,we grant freedom to none but our- selves and create an inner space for joy and bliss.This is true liberation. ■ THE SPEAKING TREE NEW DELHI, MARCH 30, 2014 I’m a reflection of the community — Tupac Shakur Since Swami Kriyananda’s pass- ing away in April 2013, you and Devi are functioning as spiritual directors of Ananda worldwide. What kind of challenges do you face in fulfilling the mission? ■ Jyotish: I do see us as taking the work forward.There is one significant differ- ence — Swami Kriyananda was ab- solutely unique in that he was a direct disciple ofYogananda and he was by and large a generation older than those of us who came and helped establish Anan- da. He was looked upon as a spiritual father by most of us. Devi and I grew up with a larger group of his spiritual children;we are probably looked upon by our peers more as siblings rather than as parents. It is almost as if when Swami start- ed, he had to do it alone, whereas we have a larger group of people — lead- ers in different communities around the world, maybe 70-100 people directly trained by Swamiji. So we don’t carry the same responsibility of having to do all of this on our own.We are able to delegate work to many more people since the community has grown. ■ Devi: Also,Swamiji would say when someone asked Yogananda, is there a blueprint for communities to follow,he replied that the blueprint is in the ether — at a subtle level — and people have to tune into it.When Swamiji met Yo- gananda in his youth, he was very mo- tivated and what Swamiji did was to draw the blueprint out of the ether.And we worked under him as many others did for 25-30 years and so we know his thinking in so many different areas.The last year before he passed away,he took up a lot of initiatives.I don’t want to say we are running the old pattern as it will never be like that — the community in Pune and the one in Assisi, Italy, are all different in some ways.We have one full community in India at Pune and cen- tres in Gurgaon, Delhi, Noida, Banga- lore and Chennai. More are expected in Kolkata and other places. Apart from Ananda Village in Cal- ifornia near Nevada City, we have communities at Seattle,Washington, and Portland, Oregon.The ashram at Los Angeles will soon evolve into a community. Isn’t LA the headquarters of the Self-realisation Fellowship (SRF) established by Yogananda? Do you work in sync with them? ■ Jyotish: We are separate but would like to have more cooperation with them as we propagate the same teachings. ■ Devi: Swami Kriyananda was a mem- ber of SRF but he was a creative indi- vidual and it was hard for us to keep up with him even when he was 70 or 80 years old. He became a thorn in their side; you see they were more classical in their approach, whereas Swamiji was more adaptive and inclusive.We have lot of online members, people who are resi- dent in various communities and around one thousand residents in various com- munities.Those who draw from our teachings and participate in our satsangs number perhaps 10,000.And we have online classes and satsangs. As a spiritual team and long-time couple, do you find it difficult to share this kind of responsibility? ■ Jyotish: Our work overlaps a great deal but it is very organic; we teach to- gether, work together (and of course live together).I probably do a lot more organising and Devi does more in terms of working individually with people and counselling them but we do both. Devi, you hold retreats for women. How are those different from other retreats? ■ Devi: We do the usual chanting,med- itating and learning of postures, but we also thought why not focus on women’s issues such as family, children, marriage and career. However, the feedback we got was that more than focusing on women’s issues they just enjoyed being with other women; they felt so com- fortable. I think women enjoy sharing a lot more than men do. Men like to ask questions and then they’re done. Women like to talk.Women feel more comfortable admitting mistakes and seeking solutions.Women are more in- trospective. Men often find it difficult to look at problematic issues. We have one son and I too had to balance raising a son and doing my work in the community.I think women are able to process things at a different lev- el.When men get together,they say,‘Hi, how are you?’And that’s it!With women, it is different. What does marriage mean to the two of you? You are a couple, you have a son, and you are now Nayaswamis, celibate, still sharing a home, living in the community. Was progression difficult? ■ Jyotish: For some individuals it is easier to make the transition to celi- bate life; for others, it is more difficult. So, in the Nayaswami order, we have a branch called Tyagis who are still married, living a conventional family life but living in a deeply spiritual way. They see that what they do is in serv- ice of God; that they consciously de- fine their life together as being lived for a higher purpose, raising their chil- dren, not indoctrinating them but gen- tly guiding them on the spiritual path. A Nayaswami is done with family re- sponsibility — but if you have a child that needs caring for, then you are not yet ready to be a Nayaswami. ■ Devi: We always had a fulfilling mar- riage but when we became Nayaswamis, we told ourselves we were taking a spir- itual step and the decision has led to our expressing a higher spiritual love.Search for God and service to others is part of that and all the little aspects of daily life that tend to irritate, don’t affect us any more — they’re not important! So, you find your souls working together in a very selfless and harmo- nious way. Swamiji created a beauti- ful wedding ceremony and the very last lines I find so poetic and beauti- ful:“And through our perfect love,find the perfect love of God.” Obviously,the sexual aspect is some- thing you decide to give up as a natu- ral progression.We became Nayaswamis in 2009 so we were not young — I was 63 and Jyotish was 66. I was reading a book about Anandamayi Ma. She was such a radiant being. She married at a young age, but her husband was spiri- tual and they never had physical rela- tions throughout their marriage.When someone asked her why did she and her husband not enjoy even the allowed pleasures of married life, she replied,“I have always done everything necessary for human beings — eating, sleeping, washing and I suppose that aspect of life just isn’t necessary.” Even Yogananda’s parents would come together only once a year to conceive a child. ■ Jyotish: People have to respect their own limitations and then grow organ- ically to the point where they can feel it in their heart in taking a step. Some- times couples come to us and we say, “Wait a bit,you are kind of young!” ■ Post your comments at speakingtr ee .in Nayaswamis JYOTISH and DEVI NOVAK, spiritual directors of Ananda worldwide, converse with NARAYANI GANESH at Ananda Village, California, on living an organic life in a community Troops & Weapons A conqueror headquartered in Nasruddin’s city was looking for ways to put an end to a rebellion that had started in one of the nearby towns he ruled.The people have risen against the governor, one of his officials explained.“They say they have had enough of his oppressive rule.”“We should send troops and weapons to quell disorder,”added a military general. Nasruddin, who was in court at the time, remarked to the conqueror,“Actually,all of that is not necessary. In fact, I know a way you can end the revolt with just one special weapon.”“What?” asked the conqueror with great curiosity. Nasruddin replied,“One person who will replace the oppressive governor.” Black Or Grey One day,a barber was trimming the mayor’s beard at the village palace. After he finished, he remarked,“Your beard is starting to turn grey.” The mayor,enraged to hear this, ordered that the barber be put in jail for one year. He then turned to a court attendant and asked,“Do you see any grey in my beard?” “Almost none at all,” the man replied.“What do you mean ‘almost’,”the mayor yelled.“Guards, take this man to jail — and keep him there for two years!” He then turned to another attendant and asked the same question.“Sir, your beard is exquisite, and is completely black,”the man replied.“You liar!” the mayor shouted.“Guards — give this man 10 lashes on the back, and put him in jail for three years.” Finally, he turned to Nasruddin and said,“Mullah, what colour is my beard?”“Your Excellency,” Nasruddin replied,“I’m colour blind, and cannot answer that question.” Fallen Off One day,as Nasruddin rode his donkey, he spotted a ripe peach hanging over the wall of someone’s orchard. He positioned his donkey underneath it, stood up and reached for the peach with his other hand.As he did this, however, a noise startled his donkey and caused it to run off, leaving Nasruddin hanging from the tree. Seconds later, the guard spotted Nasruddin and yelled,“Thief!” “What are you talking about?” said Nasruddin.“I am not stealing. Can’t you tell by the way I’m hanging here that I have simply fallen off my donkey?” — rodneyohebsion.com MULLAH NASRUDDIN A Blissful Partnership Tune Into Your Breath A wareness of our breath re- turns us to our body and to the rhythms of the universe.

The nature of bondage is suchthat a person in bondage isunaware of it. He is oblivi-ous of how and when he got
into it.A person who finds himself inshackles finds it difficult to abandonthoughts of being in bondage.
He is afraid to discard it for he fearslosing his own identity and the self.He, therefore, finds bondage conven-ient and safe. Such a person is unableto attain freedom and remains deprivedof the bliss to which he is entitled tosince birth.
Bondage is a mental disposition andbaggage that we carry throughout ourlives because of our deep identificationwith the external world.We can spendour entire life in it. Bondage happenswhen we intimately identify ourselveswith the body-mind complexand its attributes, with whichwe grow up. Our mind is aninstrument of experiencingthe world ‘out there’.However, it’s ableto process

The external reality comprises nu-merous mental constructs and we in-tensely identify with them along withpleasure and pain and carry them as bag-gage throughout our lives.
As bondage is a state, so is freedom.Our efforts are always towards realisingthis freedom.To attain liberation,a shiftof understanding is required that comesthrough right knowledge of whatbondage is.To know light, one should
know darkness; toknow liberty, one
should knowslavery. A per-son who un-
derstands thesewell, invariably
understands light andliberty, too.
Right knowledge of what consti-tutes bondage is vital and once bondageis truly known, it just drops and free-dom emerges.Nature of bondage is thatit simply drops once its compositionaltruth is known and understood.

I’m a reflection of the community— Tupac Shakur
Since Swami Kriyananda’s pass-ing away in April 2013, you andDevi are functioning as spiritualdirectors of Ananda worldwide.What kind of challenges do youface in fulfilling the mission? ■ Jyotish: I do see us as taking the workforward.There is one significant differ-ence — Swami Kriyananda was ab-solutely unique in that he was a directdisciple of Yogananda and he was by andlarge a generation older than those ofus who came and helped establish Anan-da.

More are expectedin Kolkata and other places.
Apart from Ananda Village in Cal-ifornia near Nevada City, we havecommunities at Seattle,Washington,and Portland, Oregon. The ashram at Los Angeles will soon evolve intoa community.
Isn’t LA the headquarters of theSelf-realisation Fellowship (SRF)
established by Yogananda? Doyou work in sync with them?■ Jyotish: We are separate but wouldlike to have more cooperation with themas we propagate the same teachings.■ Devi:Swami Kriyananda was a mem-ber of SRF but he was a creative indi-vidual and it was hard for us to keep upwith him even when he was 70 or 80years old.

As a spiritual team and long-time couple, do you find itdifficult to share this kind of responsibility?■ Jyotish: Our work overlaps a greatdeal but it is very organic;we teach to-gether, work together (and of courselive together). I probably do a lot moreorganising and Devi does more in termsof working individually with peopleand counselling them but we do both.
Devi, you hold retreats forwomen. How are those differentfrom other retreats? ■ Devi:We do the usual chanting,med-itating and learning of postures,but wealso thought why not focus on women’sissues such as family,children,marriageand career. However, the feedback wegot was that more than focusing on
