Tyaga-Yama-Niyam (sacrifice-good believe- good routin)
Those who renounce (tyaga) are called tyagi purush. All tyagi purush fall into the category of yama-niyam (the desire to be in discipline and to be in discipline).
There are five yama and five niyam.
Renunciates are in niyam (discipline with effort) that, ‘At this time I am to seek food, at this time I am to eat, at this time I am to wake up.’ Everything is according to niyam. And that too, they do not follow all the niyam. Niyam means that the mind only carries out activities according to niyam at a certain time. Have you come into niyam in every way or is it somewhat weak?
Questioner: Not in all ways.
Dadashri: Oh? Then you have not observed saiyam at all, right? Do anger-pridedeceit-greed still exist? Or have they left?
Questioner: Sir, we indeed have anger and greed.
Dadashri: And if one is not in niyam, then one is in yama, and if one is not in yama, then it is useless.
Questioner: Who is said to be in yama, Dada?
Dadashri: Yama means the desire to come into niyam. As soon as the desire to come into niyam arises, one is said to have come into yama. There may be the intent that, ‘I want to do this, I want to that.’ Where one is not able to remain in niyam, all of that falls under yama. It is after one is able to remain in niyam that it is referred to as niyam. How can it be referred to as niyam until then? Your intent may be that, ‘I want to do this, do that, I definitely want to observe niyam.’ When it does not remain, then all of that falls under yama. And once one comes into niyam, then once in a day, one should read what this Gnani Purush has said, so one will read according to niyam (regularly). To not miss a single day is considered having come into niyam.
Once one comes into niyam, there will be the desire for saiyam. Yes, but how will saiyam happen? There is no saiyam without attaining the Self. As long as the Self is not attained, as long as the right Vision (samyak Drasthi) is not attained, there is no saiyam.
