TAT CHHIDRESHU PRATYAYANTARANI SAUSKAREBHYAH
DURING THE GAPS -HOLES - BETWEEN THE PERIODS OF SAMADHI THE
KNOWLEDGE OF OTHER OBJECTS ARISE DUE TO
SAUNSKARAS - PREVIOUS IMPRESSIONS
In this SUTRA they are trying to clear some of the questions that may ares in reader's mind . We know that when the Yogi achieves the state of ultimate SAMADHI,he has no desires and no need for karma or actions . But we often see that the Yogi, who has achieved this level seems to be engage in the activities that are neither suitable or conducive to the 'progress; of Sadhak or the student .In fact many of the actions that we tend to do , seem to be an obstacle in the path of achieving the ultimate SAMADHI.So how can Yogi continues to do these activities?
This gradual improvement in the level of SAMADHI, reminds me of the mathematical puzzle that we used to be asked when we were children. A monkey is trying to climb a pole , which is slippery .The pole is 12 feet high and every hour the monkey climbs 3 feet and slips down 2 feet . So how many hours it will take for the monkey to get to the top of the pole?So if one tries to think that going up 3 feet and coming down 2 , the monkey is climbing 1 foot her hour . So to climb 12 feet , the monkey will need 12 hours. But the answer is wrong . After the monkey has done 9 feet climbing , in 9 hours , when in 10 th hour he climbs 3 feet . he is at top of the pole and he does not fall down . So the answer is 10 hours. So the same thing is when one achieves the ultimate Samadhi, he does not fall down .
So what about the day to day activity for such a Yogi, . The answer is in this Sutra . When a Yogi has experienced the bliss of SAMADHI, he is not attached, attracted to any other mortal material thing. So when he is seen doing things like eating , sleeping , reading new paper or watching sports or watching TV, he is not affected by the ACTIVITIES , but they have to be done as the previous KARMA have left impressions and these impression will pop up in between off and on.
This the gap that the Sutra is describing . One has to still burn the effects of the previous KARMA.The question arises - would there be more Karmaic impressions , when one does karma. The answer is 'NO' as the KARMA that the yogi does is not done with any attachments and so they do leave any SAUNSKARA or impressions. So the Yogi continues to the same activities that he was doing before achieving the Samadhi.and it does not create any more impressions.
