Samadhi Prevails Through Saiyam
Saiyam should remain in the presence of anger-pride-deceit-greed. This is what the Lord has referred to as saiyam. To keep saiyam in the state of asaiyam (presence of kashaya effect) of the mind-speech-body is called saiyam. Saiyam prevailed for King Bharat even in the midst of thirteen hundred queens; saiyam is a different thing altogether. It is for the one who does not have my-ness (marapanu). He may even say that, ‘This is mine,’ but he will not have my-ness.
Do you understand this? (Through this saiyam, constant samadhi prevails.) What can be referred to as samadhi? When samadhi (state of bliss) remains amidst externally-induced troubles (upadhi), that is called real samadhi.
Questioner: A state of bliss within externally-induced troubles?
Dadashri: Yes, if there are no externally induced troubles, then even if you give this hungry dog two to three rotli (Indian flatbread), then it will be only in a blissful state the entire night. That is referred to as the blissful state of the dog. A state of bliss should remain within externally-induced troubles. And where there is tremendous calamity, saiyam should remain, that is referred to as saiyam.
Questioner: To remain in saiyam amidst tremendous calamity, is that real saiyam?
Dadashri: Yes, saiyam (should remain) in calamity. Otherwise, the saiyam of the body is all dependent on the unfolding (of karma); that cannot be referred to as saiyam. Saiyam of the mind is independent (swadhin); that is indeed the energy of saiyam. When there is calamity (when someone slaps you), Knowledge (Gnan) remains present at that time, and the slap is received with the total existent view (bhaav) of bliss. The slap must be received no matter what, right? The entire world receives it with crying.
Does the entire world receive slaps with crying or not? Does it seem as if many escape from it?
Questioner: No one can escape it.
Dadashri: No one escapes it, right? This law of karma; people suffer (bhogvey) it by crying, and the Gnani suffers it by laughing. You have understood, right?
Questioner: Yes, sir. Dadashri: This is why this external renunciation is not referred to as saiyam.
