Five types of FIRE - Patanjali

The five types of fire!
1. The physical fire that keeps us warm
2. The fire of hunger
3. The fire of desire
4. The fire of criticism
5. The fire of love and knowledge

A new perspective to fire you would have never know - a briliant read for a curious mind

Fire sustains life. There are five types of fire. One is Bhutagni. Bhutagni means the fire with which you heat your home, to keep warmth in yourself. It sustains life. The physical fire. This is very obvious. It may not be so obvious in tropical countries. They might not give much value to fire. But in cold countries, you know how important it is. Without the physical fire, life gets extinguished. This physical fire is present in the body to some extent.

There is a second type of fire known as Kamagni, the fire of desire. When the fire of desire comes, it gulps you. The fire of lust and passion. It is because of this fire of passion that life continues on this planet. The passion fire is present in all the species of the creation. The third type of fire is called Jataragni -the fire of hunger and digestion. This is one of the important principles of Ayurveda. If the fire of digestion is less or more, it affects your health. It affects your balance. You know when you get fever, you simply treat the symptoms. You do not understand the principle. When a foreign body enters the system, your whole body heats up.Fever comes.

 In fever, your body is developing a defense mechanism.It is burning all those foreign particles and enemies that have entered the body.As soon as this foreign bacteria or virus goes out of the body, your fever comes down. Fever purifies the system. The purpose of fever is to purify your body. To get rid of the virus or the foreign particle. Isn’t it?
Then,Badabagni, the fire of criticism. When people criticize you, what happens? Fire wakes up. Fire awakens in your system. When you stand in front of a big crowd, what happens? You feel your heart beating and you are shivering from the fear of criticism or of the opinions of people. This is a fact.
Then there is thefire of knowledge or love: Premagni and Jnanagni. When life moves through all these fires, it comes out cold. Unfortunately, we have not understood this principle. We do not even allow the fire to come up. The moment fever comes, we take Paracetamol and suppress the symptoms and our immune system goes down. Not that you should not take medicine. You take it but attempt to tackle its root cause rather than just attending to the symptoms of fire in your system.
Naturopathy and Ayurveda deal with all these things. Your body develops your own air conditioning. If you put on the air conditioner all the time, then you are not letting the self-modulating system of the body function. Especially in tropical countries, air conditioner is used all the time, day and night. There is no prana (life force energy), no freshness in the environment. Have you noticed this? Our body produces sweat and it cools the body, like the wind which comes and your body becomes cool. It has its own air-conditioning system.
For this to happen, you should be used to it from a young age but unfortunately, we are used to air conditioners from childhood. So, to make a shift suddenly is certainly difficult. Nevertheless, you can look into this aspect. I have nothing against the use of air conditioners, but make sure that the fresh prana comes and your body temperature agrees with the environment. It will make a difference. Then, you get the ability to work in a cold place without having to wear too much. Or to be in a hot place without feeling suffocated.
Then comesKamagni, the fire of passion. We do not allow the fire to rise up in us. The moment a desire comes, we fulfill it immediately. Then the fire does not stay in you and does not burn you up. People who are very promiscuous have zero Kamagni. They do not even allow the fire to come up and burn them even a little bit, bake them a little bit. The moment the desire of sex comes, finish it there.
Then the Kamagni does not awaken in you. Sex is one of the oldest samskaras (impressions) other than eating. From all life times, you have done two things for sure. One is eating and another is sex. As a cow, as a monkey, donkey, horse, ox, whatever it is, passing through all these qualities, these two acts have been there.
When this passion arises, observe it. It is present in every cell of your body. It engulfs you, burns you and moves on. If this shifts, there is 100 percent totality of alertness, awareness that gets developed in kama (desire). If you do not allow that to come up and when a little desire comes and you immediately cool it down, then your power or shakti, the potentiality in you, goes down.
You become more inert and less sensitive. More inertia comes. Then there is no vigor, valor, joy, or enthusiasm in any activity one does. That is why people who are promiscuous do not have that enthusiasm. They do not have the force or will or strength to do any action. Have you noticed this? Yes or no?
The same thing with Jataragni too. Even before you feel hungry, you keep stuffing things into yourself. By stuffing the food more, there are more toxic substances in the body. Many people get diseases or die not because of hunger but out of overeating. Today in the world, very few people die out of hunger; more and more people are dying of overeating.
We do not allow the fire of hunger to come up. We have never kindled that. This is the principle of fasting. When you fast, every cell of your body becomes alive. Fasting is a very good therapy. It cleanses your system. The Jataragni cleanses you of all the toxins.

Tabula Smaragdina

Tabula Smaragdina

O texto em latim, escrito por João de Sevilha (Johannes Hispaniensis), em Secretum Secretorum, é apresentado abaixo:

(1) Verum sine mendacio, certum et verissimum:

(2) Quod est inferius est sicut quod est superius, et quod est superius est sicut quod est inferius, ad perpetranda miracula rei unius.

(3) Et sict omnes res fuerunt ab Uno, mediatione unius, sic omnes res natæ fuerunt ab hac una re, adaptatione.

(4) Pater ejus est Sol, mater ejus Luna;

portavit illud Ventus in ventre suo; nutrix ejus Terra est.

(5) Pater omnes Telesmi totius mundi est hic.

(6) Vis ejus integra est, si versa fuerit in Terram.

(7) Separabis terram ab igne, subtile a spisso, suaviter, cum magno ingenio.

(8) Ascendit a terra in cœlum, interumque descendit in terram et recipit vim superiorum et inferiorum.

(9) Sic habebis gloriam totius mundi.

(10) Ideo fugiet a te omnis obscuritas.

(11) Hic est totius fortitudinis fortitudo fortis: quis vincet omnem rem subtilem omnemque solidam penetrabit.

(12) Sic mundus creatus est.

(13) Hinc erunt adaptationes mirabiles quarum modus est hic.

(14) Itaque vocatus sum Hermes Trismegistus, habens tres partes philosophiæ totius mundi.

(15) Completum est quod dixi de Operatione Solis.

Tábua de Esmeralda

A tradução da Tabula Smaragdina segue-se:

(1) É verdade, certo e muito verdadeiro:

(2) O que está embaixo é como o que está em cima e o que está em cima é como o que está embaixo, para realizar os milagres de uma única coisa.

(3) E assim como todas as coisas vieram do Um, assim todas as coisas são únicas, por adaptação.

(4) O Sol é o pai, a Lua é a mãe, o vento o embalou em seu ventre, a Terra é sua alma;

(5) O Pai de toda Telesma do mundo está nisto.

(6) Seu poder é pleno, se é convertido em Terra.

(7) Separarás a Terra do Fogo, o sutil do denso, suavemente e com grande perícia.

(8) Sobe da terra para o Céu e desce novamente à Terra e recolhe a força das coisas superiores e inferiores.

(9) Desse modo obterás a glória do mundo.

(10) E se afastarão de ti todas as trevas.

(11) Nisso consiste o poder poderoso de todo poder:

Vencerás todas as coisas sutis e penetrarás em tudo o que é sólido.

(12) Assim o mundo foi criado.

(13) Esta é a fonte das admiráveis adaptações aqui indicadas.

(14) Por esta razão fui chamado de Hermes Trismegistos, pois possuo as três partes da filosofia universal.

(15) O que eu disse da Obra Solar é completo.

Emerald Tablet

The translation of Tabula Smaragdina follows:

     (1) is true, right and very true:
     (2) What is below is like what is above and what is above is like what is below, to accomplish the miracles of one thing.
     (3) And as all things have come from One, so all things are unique for adaptation.
     (4) The Sun is the father, the mother is the moon, the wind cradled in her womb, the earth is his soul;
     (5) The Father of all Telesma the world is this.
     (6) His power is full, if it is converted into Earth.
     (7) set apart the Land of Fire, the subtle from the dense, gently and with great skill.
     (8) rises from earth to heaven and descends again to earth and collects the force of things superior and inferior.
     (9) Thus you will obtain the glory of the world.
     (10) And turn away from thee all darkness.
     (11) Therein lies the power of all mighty power:
     Conquer all things subtle and penetrarás all that is solid.
     (12) Thus was the world created.
     (13) This is the source of admirable adaptations herein.
     (14) For this reason I am called Hermes Trismegistus, because I have all three parts of the universal philosophy.
     (15) What I said the Solar Work is complete.

NERUDA

as if everything that exists,
aromas, light, metals,
were little boats
that sail
toward those isles of yours that wait for me. NERUDA

if you forget me - neruda

If You Forget Me

I want you to know
one thing.

You know how this is:
if I look
at the crystal moon, at the red branch
of the slow autumn at my window,
if I touch
near the fire
the impalpable ash
or the wrinkled body of the log,
everything carries me to you,
as if everything that exists,
aromas, light, metals,
were little boats
that sail
toward those isles of yours that wait for me.

Well, now,
if little by little you stop loving me
I shall stop loving you little by little.

If suddenly
you forget me
do not look for me,
for I shall already have forgotten you.

If you think it long and mad,
the wind of banners
that passes through my life,
and you decide
to leave me at the shore
of the heart where I have roots,
remember
that on that day,
at that hour,
I shall lift my arms
and my roots will set off
to seek another land.

But
if each day,
each hour,
you feel that you are destined for me
with implacable sweetness,
if each day a flower
climbs up to your lips to seek me,
ah my love, ah my own,
in me all that fire is repeated,
in me nothing is extinguished or forgotten,
my love feeds on your love, beloved,
and as long as you live it will be in your arms
without leaving mine.

Pablo Neruda

"Minha alma e' uma orquestra oculta;
Nao sei que instrumentos
tangem e rangem, cordas e harpas,
timbales e tambores, dentro de mim.
So me conheco como sinfonia."

Fernando Pessoa - Livro do Desassosego

"My soul is a hidden orchestra;
I do not know what instruments
rule and gnash, strings and harps,
timbales and drums inside me.
So I know myself as a symphony. "

Fernando Pessoa - Book Desassosego

Passagem - Path

O espirito e' aquela parte da quimica corporal (mecanismo) que possui os electrons soltos, descolados
E o espirito e' buscador, conquistador, curioso

O espirito quando se interessa por um caminho ele vai ate o fim.
O outro Ser.

Dai constroi uma passagem, por onde e' feita a jornada, a viagem
Ele constroi o tempo todo, o construtor, dia e noite.

Mas a noite quando estao todos dormindo, quando os corpos astrais estao descansando da energia empenhada de dia com o sol, que o espirito se manifesta.

Durante a noite a energia sutil esta soltinha pairando nos sonhos, na atmosfera
O feminino, o romance, o caminho, atraves de mim e de voce

Esse e o caminho essencial que a alma utiliza para passar atraves desse portal e liberta passear
Como um sopro um respiro um suspiro

Ela comeca a realizar os sonhos essencias e mais sutis.
Inspiracao e la esta a sua essencia

O material que o espirito usa para construir e' o amor.
O amor e' uma substancia presente em todos. Devemos perceber o amor como substancia. Materia-prima.

Conexao. Estamos conecetados. Estamos todos conectados. Lacos de intimidade. Reciprocidade essencial.
Two ways everything come and goes through us. And that's God. Divine magic. Pure Magic.





The spirit is that part of the body chemistry (mechanism) that has the electrons loose, cool 
And the spirit is a seeker, conqueror, curious
 
When the spirit cares for a path it goes down till the end. 
Another Being

So it builds a passage, where it's made ​​the journey, traveling
He builds all the time, the builder, day and night.

But every night when we are all sleeping, when the astral bodies are resting energy committed to the day with the sun, that's when the spirit manifests.

At night the subtle energy that loosing hovering in dreams, in the atmosphere 
Femininity, romance, the path, through me and you

This essential path and what the soul uses to pass through this gate and float free 
As a breath, a sigh, as a blow
 
The soul begins to realize the most subtle scents of the dreams
Inspiration and there is your own essence

The material our spirit uses to build is love
Love is a substance present in all of us. We should see love as substance. Raw material.
 
Connection. We are all connected. Laces of intimacy. Reciprocity essential.
Two ways. Everything comes and goes through us. And tha's God. Divine magic. Pure Magic.

vento - wind

As vezes eu ouco passar o vento; e so de ouvir o vento passar, vale a pena ter nascido.

Sometimes I hear the wind passing by, and so to hear the wind passing by, it is worth being born.

A IMAGEM DOS ESPELHOS - Mirrors

A IMAGEM DOS ESPELHOS

Jamais deve buscar a coisa em si, a qual
depende somente dos espelhos.
A coisa em si, nunca: a coisa em ti.
Um pintor, por exemplo, nao pinta uma arvore: ele pinta-se uma arvore.
E um grande poeta - especie de rei
Midas a sua maneira - um grande poeta,
bem que ele poderia dizer:
Tudo o que eu toco se transforma em mim

Mario Quintana - Caderno H, p. 163

THE IMAGE OF MIRRORS

It should never get the thing itself, which

depends only on the mirrors.

The thing itself, never: the thing in you.

A painter, for example, does not paint a tree: he paints himself as a tree.

And a great poet - kind of king

Midas his way - a great poet,

well he could say:

Everything I touch turns to me

Mario Quintana - Book H, p. 163

Manuel Bandeira

Eu gosto de
delicadeza
seja nos gestos
nas palavras, nas ações
no jeito de olhar
no dia-a-dia e até
no que não é dito
com palavras
mas fica no ar...

(Manuel Bandeira)

I like
delicacy
gestures is
in words, actions
way of looking at
day-to-day and even
what is not said
with words
but is in the air ...

(Manuel Bandeira)

Manoel de Barros

Acho que o quintal onde a gente brincou e' maior do que a cidade. A gente so descobre isso depois de grande. A gente so descobre que o tamanho das coisas ha que ser medido pela intimidade que temos com as coisas. Ha de ser como acontece com o amor. Assim, as pedrinhas do nosso quintal sao sempre maiores do que as outras pedras do mundo. Justo pelo motivo da intimidade. - Manoel de Barros


I think the backyard where we played and 'larger than the city. We discovered this after so great. We find that only the size of things has to be measured by the intimacy we have with things. Has to be like this with love. Thus, the pebbles of our yard are always larger than the other stones of the world. Just for the reason of intimacy.

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar speaks

Beauty is a personal phenomenon.
Something happens in you - an exclamation!!
- a wave rising in the ocean - that blows the mind away.
If it were not personal, it could not be divine.
The divine is always personal.
The jewel of beauty is surrender.
When your mind and heart are surrended to beauty,
there is nothing to match it anywhere.

- Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

...

"Quem vive como lhe convem
E e' bem pouca gente
Nao tem pressa de chegar
Por que sempre esta exatamente onde quer estar"

Who lives as it suits
And it is very few people
Not in a hurry to get anywhere
Because they are always exactly where they want to be

Persistência resistência e força
Não desistir
Se tivesse caído do céu não iria perceber a força realizadora. Observar de fora
Alguns esforços serão físicos
As oportunidades são apresentadas e o esforço é sempre necessário uma
Hora a sorte da uma chance para o esforço
Disciplina é chave de ouro
O sucesso vem do aprendizado de errar


Persistence endurance and strength
not giving up
If it had fallen from the sky would not realize the force director. Observe out
Some efforts will be physical
The opportunities are presented and effort is always needed a
Time sort of a chance for the effort
Discipline is the golden key
Success comes from learning from mistakes
There are no secrets to success. It is the results of preparation, hard work and learning from failure.
