MUSIC Patanjali is the yogic method.
Yogic method focuses on first you become pure,
Let your mind become pure,
You meditate for hours and hours and you once you become very pure then only will they tell you okay now see the knower,
The knower was always there.
You will be like yeah I knew this why spend 20 years to get there.
Yeah that is the indirect method,
The yogic methods,
The Vedic methods are indirect parts.
The direct part is Advaita.
Advaita says you can see the knower right now in the beginning so you know your goal.
Yes and now you understand that why do I not have the strength to be in this knower.
Why do I slip away into the mind and get into all ragas and dveshas and create drama.
Oh there is lot of impurity.
So now let me clean up the impurity.
So on this path also you are cleaning the impurity.
You are making an attempt to become pure but you know why you are doing it.
You can see the goal first that is why it is the delish path.
I see the goal and I notice what is my obstacle from being established in this goal is my own ego,
Is my own mind,
My own ragas and dveshas.
So let me purify,
Purify and be in the knower faster.
That is why Advaita is called the direct path and the yogic and the Vedic and the other parts are the indirect paths.
They take very long to get there.
The direct path may be the shortcut not exactly shortcut but the straight forward path.
It says that there is no separate individual consciousness and prakriti because then you will get lost in duality and you will never know the Lord.
On the yogic,
The Vedic path we have prakriti and purusha.
We have duality.
Yes so those are the paths of duality.
Advaita says from the beginning start recognising there is just one,
The Brahman,
The knowingness.
In the knowingness,
In the ocean of knowingness the objects arise.
In the ocean of knowingness they play for a while.
In this ocean of knowingness they go away.
So what really exists is only the ocean of knowingness.
Pratikhi that is to come.
