Just like the many different selfless autonomous bodily systems and components that enable the selfless living organisms to be existing and functioning as what they are, the selfless perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting mind is one of the many different selfless mechanisms of the selfless impermanent limited and conditional physical body/structure of the sentient living organisms.
The selfless impermanent limited and conditional physical body and all its different selfless components/functions/mechanisms/systems, including the perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting faculty (the mind stuff/the modification of the mind), are merely some momentary mortal limited adjuncts that has a beginning and an end of existence.
All those different bodily systems/components/mechanisms/functions in any living organisms can only be existing and functioning as what they are (as well as the ceaseless maintenance of existence and function) under the availability of the selfless support of the selfless energy and selfless elements.
Regardless of mobile/immobile, sentient/non-sentient, conscious/non-conscious, thinking/non-thinking, cognitive/non-cognitive, intellectual/non-intellectual, and emotional/non-emotional living organisms or non-living objects, all and everything are selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self.
All living organisms can be functioning and existing instinctively operated under the influence of the selfless intentionless indiscriminate survival instinct under the complete absence of conscious awareness/mobility/freewill by choice activity*, although, many living organisms also come with the extremely precious conscious awareness to be consciously aware of itself and the surrounding environment, as well as being endowed with the precious mechanisms of conscious perception/cognition/intellect/emotion/remembrance/thinking/desire and don't desire/expression/action/mobility/organs of actions as well as the conscious freewill by choice physical and mental activities, where all those conscious, semi-conscious, or unconscious activities are neither good nor bad, that may or may not maximize the chances of survival, that may be constructive or destructive/beneficial or detrimental to the selfless impermanent limited and conditional survival/existence/function of oneself and the others and the surrounding environment.
*The state of semi-conscious and unconscious is absolutely highly important for the living organisms to be existing and functioning properly, as well as for the ceaseless maintenance for continuous existence/function or survival up to certain limitation, where there is the essential rest/idleness between conscious wakefulness/activities for the essential recuperation/energy conservation/rehabilitation/regeneration and to be avoiding continuous energy depletion/continuous restlessness/continuous ceaseless activities that leads to complete energy depletion or irreversible exhaustion (dysfunction/system failure/ceased operation/ceased functioning/ceased existing).
Even though all living organisms, regardless of sentient or non-sentient, self aware or non-self aware, conscious or unconscious, functional or dysfunctional, responsive or non-responsive, interactive or non-interactive, instinctive or non-instinctive, intentional or unintentional, autonomous (non-conscious freewill by choice) or non-autonomous (conscious freewill by choice) physical and mental activities wittingly or unwittingly, with or without understanding, correct or incorrect understanding, wisely or ignorantly, are all selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self, however,
There is the difference BETWEEN the different selfless autonomous bodily systems and components that are functioning autonomously and ceaselessly as what they are, to be maintaining the selfless life existence and function of the selfless physical body even without the need of the thinking and acting mind being consciously aware of and/or controlling all those ceaseless selfless physical and/or mental activities for life maintenance, AND the selfless perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting faculty that is functioning as what it is, either under the presence or absence of the conscious awareness (the different states of conscious/semi-conscious/unconscious), is that the autonomous bodily systems and components are purely autonomous and intentionless instinctive bodily functions without conscious freewill, while the perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting mind is functioning BOTH autonomously/intentionlessly/instinctively operated under the influence of the selfless survival instinct without conscious freewill under the absence of conscious awareness, as well as functioning consciously/intentionally under conscious freewill that exists along with the presence of conscious perceiving/knowing/learning/experiencing/inquiring/understanding/knowledge accumulating/remembering/decision making/choice making/problem solving/action taking/desire and don't desire/self-control/different types of conscious intentions or motivations under the presence of conscious awareness, that can be influencing or impacting the selfless impermanent changes in oneself and the surrounding environment in certain way, or influencing and impacting the way of thinking/ideas/desires/behavior/action/reaction that give rise to respective consequences of thinking/ideas/desires/behavior/action/reaction (the manifestation of intentional and/or unintentional cause and effect, or the generation of conscious and/or unconscious action and consequences of action, either wittingly and/or unwittingly) that impacting the selfless existence and function of oneself and the surrounding environment in certain way.
The truth of Selflessness, Limitation, and Conditional doesn't mean that there is no selfless limited conditional conscious freewill in the selfless limited and conditional perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting faculty under the presence of conscious awareness to choose what to believe or don't believe, to desire or don't desire, to inquire or don't inquire, to appreciate or don't appreciate, to practice or don't practice, to reason or don't reason, to understand or don't understand, to learn or don't learn, to improve or deteriorate, to hold on or let go, that is influencing/conditioning/impacting the conscious/semi-conscious/unconscious thought/emotional process, the desire/intention, the behavior, the action and reaction in certain way and not in certain way under the presence and absence of correct understanding or incorrect understanding.
Something that is limited, that is permanent during the momentary existence, that cannot be changed/modified, that is what it is, such as the mango is mango, or the banana is banana. The mango cannot be changed to become banana, and vice versa.
Something that is conditional, that is impermanent, that is changing accordingly being conditioned by the existing conditions, that can be conditioned in certain way, which means that it can also be conditioned or re-conditioned in some other different ways, such as the sweetness of the mango or banana can be different under the different conditions, and the mango or the banana can be eaten as it is, or can be made into many different forms of food under different appearances, textures, smells, tastes, or temperatures.
Even if the availability of all kinds of options and opportunities are limited and conditional, it doesn't mean that there is no conscious freewill choice making to be choosing among the different options and making use of the different opportunities that are available in NOW, to be performing certain action that impact the condition in oneself and the surrounding environment, either constructively or destructively, depending on the understanding in the mind that is conditional, being conditioned by the reasoning under the influence of certain belief, values, aspirations, and practices (which means that it can be re-conditioned), and depending on the knowledge in the mind that is both limited and unlimited.
The accumulation and remembrance of knowledge/information can be true or false, can be partial/incomplete or complete/absolute, can be corrupted or non-corrupted, and the mind can only know what it knows, and what it doesn't know, it doesn't know, and hence, the accumulation/remembrance of knowledge/information is limited.
Meanwhile, what the mind doesn't know (the unknown) until the end of its selfless impermanent limited and conditional momentary existence and function, regardless of whether it knows Thyself (absolute knowledge), or not, is unlimited. Just like there is no limitation of the infinite space. One (all kinds of limited adjuncts/names and forms) can only go as far as one can go (limited by momentary existence and function) in the infinite space, but beyond that limitation (how much the mind can know within its limited duration of existence and function), is unlimited.
Whatever that had happened in NOW, is fixed, that cannot be undone or changed. But, whatever is happening and not (yet) happening in the present moment NOW, is uncertain (not fixed), that can be determined, or conditioned, or influenced by the conscious/semi-conscious/unconscious actions and reactions in NOW. Where the conscious actions and reactions are determined by the understanding and knowledge in the minds. The minds that know this, they won't predict/assume, not to say, to affirm/conclude that, "The future is like this or like that."
It is always NOW, and the NOW is never the same, it is ceaselessly changing, moving, impermanent, uncertain, and conditional.
All are selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self. That is fixed, that cannot be changed, that is what it is.
Life existence will come to an end. That is fixed, and cannot be changed. The limited duration of life existence and the impermanent condition of the different systems/functions/mechanisms of the body and mind (even if they are being limited by certain inherited genetic traits inheritance/illness/injury/damage/decay), is not fixed, is conditional, that can be enhanced/improved or damaged/deteriorated, consciously or unconsciously, wittingly or unwittingly, intentionally or unintentionally, under the presence or absence of correct or incorrect understanding and knowledge, that is not fixed, that is conditional.
The cause is fixed, is limited. The effect is not fixed, is conditional.
The seed is fixed. The outcome of the seed is not fixed, is conditional.
All will die, is fixed.
Whether one is kind or unkind, peaceful or not peaceful, happy or not happy, holding onto (grasping) or letting go (non-grasping), experience or doesn't experience, learn or doesn't learn, understand or doesn't understand, correct understanding or incorrect understanding, and etc, during one's selfless impermanent limited and conditional momentary existence and function before one dies, is not fixed.
Human beings are what they are, is fixed, is limited. They are human beings, they are not birds, not insects, not fish, not trees, not tables and chairs, not mango or banana. And no matter what and how all and everything are, what are the different names and qualities, all are subject to decay and disintegration/ceased function/ceased existence. That is fixed.
The thinking and behavior pattern of human beings (regardless of what types of genetic traits inheritance) that is impacting all and everyone and everything in this world of diversities that doesn't belong to anyone or anything, is not fixed, is conditional.
Whatever happens in between birth (existence) and death (ceased existence), is not fixed, is uncertain, is impermanent, is conditional, that can be determined/influenced/impacted by the conscious choices of actions and reactions under the presence or absence of correct/incorrect understanding and knowledge that can be acquired, inquired, and accumulated as much as possible until the end of life existence.
Beyond the momentary mortal life existence, all kinds of understanding and knowledge are useless.
But the presence and absence of correct or incorrect understanding and knowledge are highly impactful during the momentary mortal life existence that influence one's state of mind, way of thinking, desire/don't desire, behavior, action, and reaction, that not only impacting the life existence and function of oneself, but also impacting all the others and the surrounding environment that doesn't belong to anyone or anything.
All and everything will come to an end, eventually. That is fixed. But the states of mind/the affairs/the activities/the experiences/the conditions/the situations during the momentary existence and function of all the countless individual minds that are still existing and changing in NOW, are not fixed.
There are always inevitable ceaseless unconscious evolution/impermanent changes in all and everyone and everything.
There are also ceaseless mind perception of names and forms, or mind inputs consciously and/or unconsciously during all states of conscious, semi-conscious, and unconscious, regardless of whether the body and mind is responsive towards all kinds of stimuli, or not.
But more importantly, there is also the highly precious conscious mind evolution in the sentient (conscious) living organisms that are functioning under the presence of conscious awareness, where the sentient (conscious) living organisms have the conscious awareness to be aware of itself and the surrounding environment, to consciously perceive/experience/know/reason/discriminate/understand/recognize/remember/accumulate knowledge and skill/choose/decide/desire and don't desire/problem solving/action taking, either selfishly or unselfishly, constructively or destructively.
Regardless of whether conscious/semi-conscious or unconscious, intentional or unintentional, selfish or unselfish, constructive or destructive physical and mental actions and activities, they all are selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self.
All that are neither good nor bad, and all that are limited and conditional, where the conscious mind evolution can lead towards any outcome depending on the choices of action/inaction, under the different internal and external influences, of the conscious and unconscious understanding and desire or intention, depending on which is more predominant in NOW, that is also impermanent, limited, and conditional, that can be influenced and modified by conscious freewill/choice/desire/intention/action/inaction (such as all kinds of yoga and meditation practice and observation), until the mind attain direct self realization towards the truth of all that, where the mind is undetermined or uninfluenced by both internal and external influences, devoid of grasping/attachment/association/identification/craving and aversion, regardless of pleasant or unpleasant, desirable or undesirable, agreeable or disagreeable, enjoyable or non-enjoyable, and soothing or painful. All are selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self.
There is only the timeless attributeless all pervading selfless universal consciousness that pervades the infinite space, within and without all kinds of names and forms, that gives rise to the limited and conditional conscious awareness in the limited and conditional sentient conscious living organisms, is permanent, unlimited, unconditional, that is neither self nor non-self. The notion of self, or the self-acknowledgement of 'I', is merely a shadow that exists along with the limited and conditional mind perception of duality or separateness between the perceiver and the perceived.
Self doesn't exist in non-duality or oneness in the one and only timeless attributeless selfless universal consciousness, or the infinite space, or in all kinds of names and forms that are all selfless, but it only exists in the form of thought, or idea, or thinking, in the selfless modification of the selfless thinking faculty of the selfless physical body/structure, under the selfless support of the selfless energy and selfless elements.
The teachings and practice of yoga and buddhism as it is (NOT the many contaminated second-hand and 'countless-hand' teachings and practices of yoga and buddhism being contaminated by many worldly egoistic impure ideas, beliefs, values, practices, desires, visions, ambitions, and aspirations), are not merely a set of philosophical philosophy or mystical myths/beliefs/values/practices/spirituality, but it is concrete science of existence/manifestation/biology/chemistry/physiology/psychology.
Swami Sivananda Guruji was a medical doctor who was born under the family lineage of the highest caste of Brahmin in the community of Hinduism, and he could have enjoyed a rather easy and comfortable life if he wanted, but he realized that the total accumulated worldly knowledge and skill for the survival and maintenance of life existence, to be looking after and enhancing the physical general health condition, and the respective medical consultations/treatments/drugs/medicines/operations upon dealing with the acute and chronic physical injury and illness may help to improve the general physical health condition of the people and/or maybe prolonged the life span of the living organisms, but all that didn't and couldn't eliminate both the inevitable and evitable painful sorrow and suffering in the minds of the sentient/conscious living organisms, where the physical good health condition and prolonged life span and all kinds of accumulated learning, education, knowledge, and skill under higher intelligence as well as under the presence of higher advanced science and technology, is nothing to do with the essential peace and harmony in the mind under the absence of ignorance or under the presence of clarity of thinking and correct understanding. And hence, he renounced his profession as a medical doctor as well as his family and community life of the highest caste or social classification in Hinduism, and immersed into persevered and determined practice of yoga and meditation (Sadhana) for a prolonged duration until he attained direct self realization towards knowing Thyself, towards the truth of existence, the mind stuff, the ignorance and suffering, and towards the truth of selflessness, impermanence, limitation, conditional, and non-self, that is not different from the teachings of buddhism.
Where the teachings or the dhamma is being expounded in many different ways for the many different minds, to initiate or activate the conscious mind evolution towards the realization of unconditional peace and kindness, but all are based on the middle path, non-violence, open mind, non-grasping, non-identification, non-blind believing/following/worshiping/glorifying/practicing/propagating, self-investigation, self-introspection, renunciation, dispassion, desirelessness, non-craving/non-aversion, non-judgment, non-expectation, intense yearning towards knowledge, liberation, freedom, and peace, the elimination of the veil of ignorance, the mind purification and silencing process, patience, perseverance, determination, forbearance, adjustment, adaptation, accommodation, acceptance, right attentiveness, right effort, right attitude, correct understanding, meditation, silence, the annihilation of the restless impure egoistic thought activities or modification of the mind, or the elimination of restlessness, impurities, egoism, and the idea of 'I' or the ego, Samadhi, self-effort, self-initiation, self-independence, self-inquiry, self-realization, selfless service, unconditional peace and kindness, wisdom, compassion, truthfulness, simplicity, contentment, non-possessiveness, non-greed, right discrimination that leads towards non-discrimination, the nature's law of cause and effect, and the truth of selflessness, impermanence, limitation, conditional, and non-self.
The selfless perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting mind functioning under the presence of the selfless conscious awareness is inevitably perceiving/experiencing/recognizing inevitable suffering, upon being conscious towards the restless random thinking process, the impermanent states of the mind, the impermanent ideas/thoughts/feelings/emotions/impurities arising and passing away, the selfless impermanent limited and conditional existence and function, the impermanent changes, the limitation, the conditional conscious and unconscious internal and external influences, and non-self, where nothing is 'I' or 'mine', where the selfless existence and function of the names and forms doesn't even belong to the names and forms themselves, not to say, nothing belongs to anyone or anything.
The selfless mind that is functioning under the influence of ignorance also inevitably perceiving/experiencing/recognizing all kinds of evitable suffering due to being ignorant towards the truth of selflessness, impermanence, limitation, conditional, and non-self in the momentary mortal existence and function of itself and all kinds of names and forms, while ceaselessly generating action and reaction consciously and unconsciously/wittingly or unwittingly/intentionally or unintentionally under the influence of the veil of ignorance a.k.a. restlessness, impurities, egoism, and the illusive idea of 'I', that hurt oneself, and/or others and the surrounding environment, that doesn't belong to anyone or anything.
The veil of ignorance (that consists of the conscious self-awareness or self-acknowledgement* of the illusive idea of 'I' (the ego/Ahamkara), that gives rise to conscious egoism of attachment, identification, desire of craving and aversion, comparison, judgment, and expectation/anticipation/projection, that give rise to all kinds of impurities that give rise to restlessness a.k.a. the veil of ignorance, that hinder the perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting faculty to perceive/know/understand/see things or the perception of names and forms as they are) exists along upon the beginning of the selfless formation and activation of the selfless existence and function of the selfless physical body that comes with the selfless mechanisms of the selfless perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting faculty, or the selfless impermanent limited and conditional mind stuff.
*Self-awareness/acknowledgement (the illusive idea/thought/thinking/notion of the non-existing individual independent self existence of 'I') is completely different from the selfless conscious mind functioning under the presence of the selfless conscious awareness that is consciously being aware of what is happening in the body and mind (know Thyself) and in the surrounding environment - All and everything are selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self.
There is no permanent independent unchanging infinite self, or the idea of 'I', or the self acknowledgement of 'I', or egoism of attachment, identification, desire of craving and aversion, comparison, judgment, and expectation/anticipation/projection in every single cell, component, system, function, and mechanism among the many different cells, components, systems, functions, and mechanisms in the selfless body and mind that enable the selfless impermanent limited and conditional momentary mortal existence and function of the body and mind being what they are, as they are.
If all that (an infinite Self, the idea of 'I', egoism) exist in all the cells, components, systems, functions, and mechanisms of the selfless physical structure, the physical structure cannot exist or function as what it is, not to say, to survive, as all egoistic cells, all egoistic components, all egoistic systems, all egoistic functions, and all egoistic mechanisms will be fighting against one another and hurting one another, to be over-powering, interfering, intimidating, bullying, exploiting, and in control of all the others, that is not any different from self destruction or self harm, just like in this world of human beings that are functioning under the influence of the veil of ignorance.
However, there is this natural selfless manifestation of the veil of ignorance in the selfless modification of the mind, of the restless continuous stream of ceaseless conscious and unconscious thought activities, that gives rise to the illusive idea of 'I' and egoism under the presence of conscious awareness, that give rise to all kinds of impurities, that both powering and powered by restlessness, and that cause so much unnecessary hurtful destructive damages unto oneself and others and the surrounding environment that doesn't belong to anyone or anything, consciously and/or unconsciously, wittingly and/or unwittingly, intentionally and/or unintentionally, deliberately and/or randomly, either due to certain inevitable deformity, or malfunction, or dysfunction, or damage (by birth or after birth) in the bodily systems that relate to or impact the function of the brains directly or indirectly (the hardware of the perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting faculty of the physical body), and if it is not due to any direct or indirect deformity, or malfunction, or dysfunction, or damage in the bodily systems that relate to or impact the function of the brains, then it is merely because of the thinking and acting faculty or the mind is unwittingly being over-powered by the selfless natural manifestation of the veil of ignorance, being over-powered by the selfless impermanent states of restlessness - restless thought activities, the idea of 'I' and egoism of attachment, identification, craving and aversion, comparison, judgment, and expectation, the remembrance of the past and the wild imagination or projection of the future, the mental and emotional restlessness/exhaustion/fatigue/disturbance/dissatisfaction/disappointment/fear/insecurity/pride and shame/anger/hatred/greed/jealousy/selfishness/possessiveness/aggression/offensiveness/defensiveness/hostility/painful sorrow/violence/politics/hypocrisy/manipulation/intimidation/interference/exploitation/bullying, and etc, of all kinds of evitable suffering, being empowered and conditioned by all kinds of worldly egoistic impure ideas, beliefs, values, practices, desires, visions, ambitions, and aspirations, on top of unwittingly being over-powered or conditioned by the selfless intentionless survival instinct to desire, behave, act, and react in certain way.
Ignorance, or the veil of ignorance, is NOT something bad, or wrong, or negative, or evil, or short-coming, or weakness, or shameful, or punishment/painful suffering deserving. Not at all.
It is a natural intentionless selfless manifestation that comes along with the selfless formation/activation/function/operation of the restless thinking and acting faculty, or the selfless mind stuff, or the selfless modification/function/mechanism of the mind, consciously, semi-consciously, and/or unconsciously.
Similarly, the conscious and unconscious intentional selfless manifestation/creation/existence of all kinds of intentionless/attributeless worldly egoistic impure ideas, beliefs, values, practices, desires, visions, ambitions, and aspirations that are being created and used by the egoistic impure restless minds intentionally to be influencing and conditioning the way of thinking, reasoning, understanding, desire, behavior, action, and reaction of the many minds, in order to achieve the selfish personal and community agenda/ambition, are also the by-products or creations of the minds functioning under the influence of the veil of ignorance. All those worldly egoistic impure creations are intentionless and attributeless*, even though they are the intentional creations of the egoistic impure restless minds being created under certain conscious and unconscious intention/urge/desire, under the influence of the veil of ignorance on top of the selfless survival instinct.
*Intentionless and attributeless - all kinds of worldly impure egoistic ideas, beliefs, values, and practices have no intention, or quality, or power to manipulate the minds, or not. It depends on whether the minds are functioning under the influence of ignorance, or not, or whether the minds are mentally and emotionally matured and independent, or not, that determines whether the minds will be manipulated, influenced, and conditioned by all kinds of worldly egoistic impure ideas, beliefs, values, and practices, or not.
All these names and forms are neither good nor bad, even though the minds might be influenced, manipulated, and conditioned by them to think, feel, reason, understand, desire, behave, act, and react in certain way or not in certain way. But all these names and forms cannot influence, or manipulate, or affect the minds that are free from the influence of the veil of ignorance, or are mentally and emotionally matured and independent.
That is why the egoistic impure restless minds that have certain personal and community agenda/ambition to 'manipulate/condition/influence/control' all the others to be and not to be in certain way, they don't like/don't agree with/oppose/against/hinder/suppress all the other minds to achieve mental and emotional maturity and independence, because they can no longer manipulate, or influence, or bully, or exploit the minds that are mentally and emotionally matured and independent, regardless of within a personal relationship, within a family, among parents and children, among siblings, among relatives, among friends, among teachers and students, among colleagues, among competitors, among leaders and followers, among influencers and admirers, among the members of a particular community, among the different communities, or among the different diversities.
The natural intentionless selfless manifestation of the veil of ignorance in the selfless modification of the mind is neither good nor bad, although under the influence of the veil of ignorance, the minds might generate ideas/desires/intentions/actions/reactions/activities/behaviors that might cause intentional or unintentional hurt or damage unto oneself and others and the surrounding environment, physically and/or mentally and emotionally, wittingly and unwittingly.
It is only the minds that haven't attain direct self realization towards the selfless impermanent limited and conditional mind stuff, or the veil of ignorance, or the truth of selflessness, impermanence, limitation, conditional, and non-self in all kinds of names and forms (of living organisms and non-living objects, in this infinite space of the universe that doesn't belong to anyone or anything, that governed by the nature's law of cause and effect), will perceive/recognize/understand/think/believe that 'ignorance' or 'the veil of ignorance' is something bad, wrong, negative, evil, short-coming, weakness, shameful, or punishment/painful suffering deserving. And these minds would feel offended, or belittled, or humiliated, if being relate or associate to the term of 'ignorance' or 'the veil of ignorance'.
The uplifting news is that, just like all kinds of names and forms under many different qualities, 'ignorance' or 'the veil of ignorance', is also selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self.
It is not the body or the mind, it is not part of the body or the mind, and it doesn't belong to the body or the mind, and vice versa.
That is why there are many minds are unwittingly functioning under the influence of the veil of ignorance while being ignorant towards that, and more importantly, it is also absolutely possible to free the modification/function of the mind from the veil of ignorance.
The veil of ignorance can be weakened and thinned-out, and even, be annihilated under certain self-initiated persevered and determined non-violent practice and observation.
Most minds are ignorant towards the veil of ignorance, or being ignorant towards the selfless impermanent limited and conditional existence and function of the perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting faculty, or the selfless restless mind stuff under the presence or absence of conscious awareness, under the three states of conscious/wakeful, semi-conscious/semi-awake/semi-sleep/dreaming, and unconscious/deep sleep/coma.
There is absence of conscious/semi-conscious/unconscious mind stuff or thought activities in the state of Turiya/Silence/The annihilation or subjugation of the restless selfless mind stuff/Samadhi, beyond the three states of conscious, semi-conscious, and unconscious.
Even all the past and present saints and sages, all enlightened beings/minds or buddhas, Siddhartha Gautama Buddha, Swami Sivananda Guruji, Ajahn Chah, and many other teachers of dhamma, all had/have been functioning under the influence of ignorance or the veil of ignorance, that gives rise to doubts and the mind perception of all kinds of suffering, that ignited the intense yearning towards knowledge, liberation, freedom, and peace, that led to the path of renunciation, meditation, and self inquiry, that led to the direct self realization towards the truth of all these.
All kinds of genuine yoga and buddhism practices and observations (NOT the contaminated yoga and buddhism practices and observations being contaminated by all kinds of worldly egoistic impure ideas, beliefs, values, practices, desires, visions, ambitions, and aspirations) under different paths and methods to suit the many different minds under different conditions, situations, temperaments, and personalities under different degrees of ignorance, are there to help the selfless mind under the presence of conscious awareness and the intense yearning towards knowledge, liberation, freedom, and peace, to develop and empower the essential elements, to prepare the mind for meditation that leads towards Turiya/Silence/Samadhi, and for purifying the intellectual reasoning power to be performing self inquiry under a calm, quiet, clear, or pure modification of the mind devoid of the influence of the worldly passionate egoistic impure ideas, beliefs, values, practices, and desires, to be inquiring towards the truth of existence or the world of selfless manifestation of diverse names and forms, or the mind stuff, or the perceiver and the perceived, or the ignorance and suffering, or the illusive idea of 'I' and egoism, or all and everything that the mind comes in contact with, or the truth of selflessness, impermanence, limitation, conditional, and non-self, of seeing/knowing the truth of things as it is.
That is why the highly importance of the prolonged persevered and determined observation of renunciation, dispassion, seclusion, solitude, silence, as well as the development of mental and emotional independence (open-mind, not being determined or influenced by the worldly egoistic impure ideas, beliefs, values, practices, desires, visions, ambitions, and aspirations, to think/feel/reason/understand/behave/desire/act/react in certain way or not in certain way, consciously and/or unconsciously).
Do not blind-believe, blind-follow, blind-practice, blind-agree/disagree, blind-glorify, or blind-propagate anything from anyone, including all kinds of yoga and buddhism teachings and practices from anyone and anywhere, including all that is here.
The timeless dhamma is in all and everyone and everything and everywhere. All are existing along the dhamma that is veiled by the veil of ignorance. All are dhamma. The dhamma is what all and everything are.
Attain direct self realization towards the dhamma, or the teachings and practice of yoga and buddhism that leads to the direct self realization of the dhamma (the truth of things as it is).
Purify. Meditate. Inquire. Realize.
Inquire the truth of everything.
