Programming the Causal Layer With Completion

Please listen! In two words I am giving you the essence of the essence of my teachings—Completion and Creation of Space.

Using your ātma jñāna, using your conscious energy, using your peak possibility and making it into reality, making it into life.

Kṛṣṇa gives the essence of the most secret science–guhyatamaṁ śastram (15.20), the science of completion and creation of space. He gives the technique for creation of the causal body. Kṛṣṇa's words are mantras. Now He uses same words as programming techniques for completion and creation.

Arjuna receives the essence, the juice in this chapter. Mere words of this chapter can do wonders in reprogramming your causal layer with the space of completion and creation. Especially, when chanted in a mood of surrender to the Master, it directly touches the causal layer.

Listen. Lust is difficult for a man to shed. Only a person who has gone beyond body consciousness can drop lust. An Enlightened Master transcends sex. He becomes ardhanārīśvara, expressing both male and female energies. One key attribute of Enlightenment is genderlessness.

Kṛṣṇa is direct. He says, 'He who has conquered lust, adhyātma nityā vinivṛitta kāmāḥ (15.4).' Going beyond lust by completing with lust, is the first major step in realizing Super-consciousness. Add friendliness to love. Complete! Create the space of friendliness towards yourself and others. Lust will turn to love. Your being will be in Eternal Bliss.

Kṛṣṇa then says, 'That Supreme space of Eternal Consciousness, My Consciousness, tad dhām paramaṁ mama (15.6), is not illuminated by the sun or the moon, or by fire. Those who enter that space never return to this material world.'

Kṛṣṇa gives these words to program our causal layer with completion. These are vedic hymns, mantras to be meditated on. Death of the body is a certainty; death of the spirit is impossible. When the spirit is evolved, it doesn't revert to the root pattern that it transcended in the previous birth.

Mind Is the Conditioning (15.7-15.8)

Jīva bhūtaḥ—conditioned living entity, 'conditioning' is the new word that Kṛṣṇa uses here. Everything we consider as human nature is nothing but conditioning. Right and wrong, honor and dishonor, are all conditioning, all are patterns. We are conditioned. If a group of people give us a certificate and clap their hands, we take it as an honor.

Here Kṛṣṇa continues giving meditation hymns to re-program your causal layer for completion. After crossing the three layers and going beyond the causal layer, you enter a space where you are free from conditioning. This is the space of completion and creation! May you be free from all conditioning!

Kṛṣṇa says: 'They are attracted by the six senses that include the mind—manaḥ ṣaṣthānīndriyāṇi prakṛti sthāni karṣati (15.7).' There are five physical senses and the sixth sense is the mind, ṣaṣthānīndriyāṇi. The mind is the only sense and the so-called five physical senses are slaves to it. If the mind can be handled, all the other five senses can be handled.

Enlightenment is the completion of root thought patterns, saṁskāras and the dissolution of conditioning. We return to our pure original state. This is why enlightenment is referred as Samādhi–means 'returning to the original state'.

The spirit living in the body-mind, moves from one body to another, it carries the six senses, ṣaṣthān-īndriyāṇi, the five physical senses and the mind, in the same way as the wind carries fragrances, vāyur gandhān ivaśayāt (15.8). Just as the wind carries fragrances, Consciousness carries saṁskāras, causal level imprints, from body to body. This continuous vicious cycle of movement of saṁskāras is what Kṛṣṇa refers to as saṁsāra, the life-and-death cycle.

We have the choice to redefine that vāsana, that smell, into either a stink or a wonderful fragrance. One who completes with all social conditioning, who sheds the root patterns in his causal layer, moves from body to body as easily as moving from one room to another.

Your are Your Saṁskāras (15.9-15.10)

Here Kṛṣṇa reveals another secret. He says, 'You create a body according to the root thought patterns or saṁskāras in the causal layer, adhiṣṭhāya manaś cāyaṁ (15.9).' We create our sensory organs, according to saṁskāras in our causal layer. Kṛṣṇa says that living entities create all five senses through the mind or mental setup. This happens not only when we take another body. Every day when we wake up from deep sleep, our senses are recreated. If we change our mental setup, within a short time, our face changes.

Our mind, manaś is the intelligence spread all over our body. It is the intelligence that resides in our cells. Each cell carries genetic intelligence. Within this body-mind system, scientists say that every moment of your life thousands of cells die and are created. This is a constant process that Nature, the Universal Intelligence, dictates.
