कड़वा · The other answer
Disgust at its full strength. The training is not to turn away from it. It is to stay, and give the other answer.
If something blue is near you, a thread or a cloth, tie it on your wrist. Blue is Bharata's colour for bībhatsa. Or begin as you are.
First the body, later the voice, later still only inside. Any of them, any time; nothing is locked.
The taste stayed bitter, and you stayed open.
In Bharata, bhayānaka arises from bībhatsa (VI.39). That road is there for another time.
Why this
Bharata shows a feeling in four ways, the four abhinayas: by the body (āṅgika), by the voice (vācika), by what is worn (āhārya) and from within (sāttvika) (Abhinayadarpaṇa 38; Ghosh 1957). This practice goes through them from the outside in.
Disgust in Bharata comes from sights, tastes, smells, touch and sounds that cause unease (VI.73). It shows as the mouth and the eyes narrowed, the nose covered, the head bent (VI.74), and all the limbs drawn in (VII.26). So the practice begins with a taste, and what is on the screen is that drawing in.
Sri Aurobindo, in The Life Divine (CWSA 21, p. 113): “There is no real obligation on us to return to a particular contact a particular response of pleasure, pain or neutral reaction, there is only an obligation of habit.” And: “It is within our competence to return quite the opposite response”. The other answer is those two sentences, given to the tongue and the breath.
Bībhatsa's colour in Bharata is blue (VI.42 to 43), its deity Mahākāla (VI.44 to 45), its note dhaivata, so the breath out sounds a low Dha, and the open curl answers on Sa.
The bitter thing is yours to choose; a neem leaf and methi are only what most kitchens here have. How long counts as a long breath is ours. Nothing you do here is kept or sent.
