Dance of Adjuncts-3: Patanjali's kaivalyaṁ and Beyond (Animation Video)

24 September, 2022

Houston, Texas

This is an attempt to visualize the kaivalyaṁ (Segregation of the atma from its adjuncts), the ultimate aim of Patanjali-Yoga Sutra. Patanajali walks thru the steps to reach this final goal.

In this video, we see:

1. How the adjuncts of the psyche influence the atma
   1. Atma thru Ahankara powers Buddhi
      1. Ahankara is addicted to Buddhi
      2. Atma is the observer who is forced to watch all the dances of adjuncts of the Buddhi thru illustrations and thoughts
      3. Buddhi spins at very high speed. 
   2. Kundalini influences Buddhi
      1. Kundalini and Buddhi have mutual attraction to each other
   3. Flash Memory influence on Buddhi
      1. Quick calculations & to do stuff, daily action items
   4. Short Term memory influence on Buddhi
      1. Music playing  or movie projecting from throat during meditation  are good examples.
2. How adjunct's influence on Atma (Core-self) are dismembered one by one (Kaivalyam)
   1. Dismembering the adjunct's influence itself is Kaivalyam, segregation accomplished to save atma from adjunct's influences.
   2. Patanjali Yoga-Sutra is Accomplished here itself
3. How its adjuncts vanish themselves in higher dimensions
   1. All adjuncts are creations of Prakriti (Subtle and Gross Material Nature)
   2. these adjuncts cannot exist beyond the prakriti levels,
      1. at Causal realms
      2. at Brahman-effulgence levels
      3. at Chita-Akash levels
   3. These above mentioned levels are beyond Siddha-Loka & Brahma-Loka
4. Now, the atma is set free from all its adjuncts (In Chit-Akash)
   1. At Brahman-effulgence levels the bare atma floats with infinite atmas
   2. Entry level of Chit-Akash, just bare exists without adjuncts.
   3. Chit-Akash has different levels,
      1. higher chit-akash levels is where atma gain spiritual body with spiritual adjuncts
      2. happens only at respective diety approval like Krishna Loka, Shiva Loka, Vishnu Loka, etc.

This video animation demonstrate the final verse (Ch 4, Verse 34) of Patanjali Yoga Sutras as stated below. (taken from Mediation Expertise)

Madhva's Translation:

Chapter 4 Kaivalya Pāda: Segregation Accomplishment

Verse 34

पुरुषार्थशून्यानां गुणानां प्रतिप्रसवः कैवल्यं स्वरूपप्रतिष्ठा वा चितिशक्तिरिति॥३४॥

puruṣārtha śūnyānāṁ guṇānāṁ

pratiprasavaḥ kaivalyaṁ

svarūpapratiṣṭhā vā citiśaktiḥ iti

puruṣārtha – the aims of a human being; śūnyānāṁ – devoid of; guṇānāṁ – of the influences of material nature; pratiprasavaḥ – reabsorption, retrogression, neutralization; kaivalyam – separation of the spirit from psychology; svarūpa – own form; pratiṣṭhā – established; vā – thus, at last; citiśaktiḥ – the power of pure consciousness; iti – that is all.

Separation of the spirit from the mento-emotional energy (kaivalyam) occurs when there is neutrality in respect to the influence of material nature, when the yogi’s psyche becomes devoid of the general aims of a human being. Thus at last, the spirit is established in its own form as the force empowering the mento-emotional energy.

Analysis:

This ends the description of higher yoga practice, given to us by Śrī Patañjali, an authority for all times. Undoubtedly, Patañjali covered the entire spectrum in the mystic practice of yoga. All glories unto him.

Application:

When one sheds off the human type of character which was a combination of mentality, sensuality and emotion, one gains neutrality in reference to the subtle material nature. That separation from the auxiliary self is established. Thus one discovers the segregated real self which empowers the auxiliary shadow character.

Here is the Video of Kaivalyam:

This animation alone took 24 hours for the computer to render it. Used 4 different software to get this output. A couple of failed attempts, so it got delayed.

This is the animation explaining Kaivalyam from my understanding and experience of Patanjali Yoga Sutras:

A Slow motion video is also added:

This video will give more time to perceive the stages in Kaivalyam.
