Yoga is the science of dissolution or
descending towards pure consciousness.
Not being conscious of some thing - But being consciousness itself.
Yoga is the science of freeing the self
from subject and object boundaries.
Yoga means a total science of man.
It is not simply a religion.
It is the total science of man.
A total transcendence - from part - you
become whole.
Yoga is the science of transcending-anarchy-
the science
of making your consciousness whole.
Yoga is becoming a bridge
between
Science and Religion.
It is a common ground.
Yoga is the science of discovering your self
from subject and object boundaries.
The end and the beginning are the same.
Silence is the beginning and Silence
is the end.
Silence is the whole fabric of existence.
Sound is mind.
Silence is made of Sound and Science.
Yoga is a science of discovery
and every other science
is
a science or invention.
When a child becomes a man and enters into a realm of consciousness,
he finds himself drifting in an ocean of thoughts, shakti (power)
and multitudes of micro-organisms. He is baffled by the mayaic
(illusory) facet of nature and the desire to unlock the mystery
becomes the driving force of his life. The two obstacles which
thwart his efforts are - lack of direction and the right medium.
His journey from infancy to adulthood , was purely sponsored
by his family and society. But the world of adulthood does
not give him support , so alone, he sets out to carve his
own destiny.
'Destruction and 'Resurgence' the two contradictory phenomena
which are figuratively speaking, like the two petals of a lotus
arouse his intellectual curiosity, and he wants to go to the
very root of the stem, even beyond its marshy bottom.
Bramhand, in totality exists in the micro. Man
in his ignorance desperately wants to discover it in the visible
physical world. At the end of day, worn out by his long fruitless
search, he finds himself on the extreme end of life’s shore.
When a man's energies are on the decline, the desire to fulfil
the true aim of his birth suddenly surfaces. But time refuses
to compromise, and the late awakening only stabs him with
feelings of regret and repentance.
Birth and Death represent the bitter truth of human life.
Jeeva can partake of the fruits of his sanskaras in due course.
The bondage of life and death, is created by karmas, however,
the yogis of high order who have mastered the five elements
are beyond the reach of death.
The human body, which is made out of five elements, is nurtured
by the life giving light of the soul. This light charges the
cells of the human body with energy and helps the various organs
to function. Through the medium of yoga, a human being can realise
his spiritual potential which in turn, can enable him to survey
the entire creation through the dissemination of micro spiritual
rays. He can even communicate with another human being through
the medium of thought vibrations. Thought vibrations also help
in the character assessment of a total stranger.
The wealth of entire Bramhand exists within the human body.
An aspirant of Yoga and spiritualism after realising this
hidden wealth, can perform feats of impossible nature. Yogis
residing in the Himalayas often communicate with each other
through this medium, with remarkable effectiveness. I have often
used this medium to establish contact with my Gurus Baba Gorakhnathji
and Hari Baba. Many a times I have successfully communicated
my messages from Pindari glacier to the residents of Khati village to
send a supply of the days needs.
Thought vibrations utilise the waves of light
which are present in space for sending these messages. These
thought vibrations are endowed with infinite potential. Scientists
can achieve a lot provided they give due attention to the infinite
capabilities of this paranormal phenomenon. Even an ordinary
man can make use of this unique faculty in routine affairs
of his life. Only the incumbent needs to know when to make use
of this faculty and towards which direction. Hence time
and direction are important factors for successful communication.
The direction of the rays of the sun - whether it is northwards,
southwards, eastwards or westwards, should be located. The location
of the person with whom the contact has to be established should
be in harmony with the direction of the suns rays. In this way,
thought vibration can be communicated. In the eastern and northern
region of the Himalayas the use of thought vibration as
a mode of communication is a common practise. Men who make use
of this faculty are known as 'devtas' or demigods. These
men lead a simple life devoid of any fan fare. A quiet posture
of concentration, totally absorbed in sadhana (practice) gives them the
air of any extraordinary beings. Modern rationalists
would, perhaps laugh scornfully at this statement, but my personal
experience tells a different story. These men excel in the art
of concentration of their thoughts, which produce the desired
results.
The 'life giving' light of the 'sun' helps in the creation of
cells which run the machinery of the physical world. Similarly,
the light of the soul gives energy continuously to the inner-self
so that it may remain active and awake. This light of a wondrous
nature, maintains the cycle of life. Sometimes, the inner light
projects confused patterns and creates a state of dilemma and
forces man, to wonder of its source. He is unable to pin point
the source - whether it is in the heart, mind or the navel centre.
The importance of the left side of the heart has always been
stressed by the medical scientists. But, I have many a times
experienced that the right side of the heart is of a greater
importance - Its contribution towards spiritual achievements
is of a rare nature. In fact, the source of the nerves which
energises the brain, lies in the left and right side of the
medulla or the Sushamma spinal cord.
Yogi propounds a disciplined way of life, the human body thereby
learns to function accordingly. It teaches the mind to move
towards the goal of life. The teachings follow the natural discipline
which help the aspirant to lead a healthy and a successful life
yoga can be looked upon as an experiment. In yoga, thought.
feeling and syllable, have an important place. Thought stands
for motion or speed, feeling stands for creation and pronunciation
of a syllable signify expression. All three are instrumental
in recognising the natural discipline of the body which is in
harmony with nature's order. This unique harmony with the cosmic
order enable the yogi to cognise the varied activities of the
space. Thus, armed with the knowledge of the mysterious activities
of the space, the yogi is captured by the divine bliss, can
move freely on earth, as well as in the space. He dwells in
the celestial inner realm, and enjoys its supreme bliss. In
this context he can be termed as a Bhogi (the enjoyer) and
the Bhogta (the enjoyed). This stage of supreme bliss or Param-Anand
he obtains by invoking the Kundalini (the serpent power) which
is dormant within his body. The spiritual awakening, in a man
denotes the awakening of his Kundalini. This spiritual energy
leads the yogi upwards and releases him from the bondage of
mortality. There after, the 'yogi becomes well versed in the
creative potential of the five element and can
unravel the mysterious movements of nature, But this yogic
Kriya or act should be performed in an extremely careful manner.
The slightest flaw in this act can lead to a dangerous state.
The danger is present in the rays of the light which become
inflamed if there is even a minuscule error in the yogic act.
With the result that the affected organ either gets burnt or stops
functioning. And the aspirant could become almost insane.
Normally, the even diffusion of natural light is not harmful.
Similarly, the emission of inner light is extremely beneficial
for the human body. This inner energy keeps the body animated
and prevents its from decay and destruction. Even the physical
eyes, cannot lure the inner eyes to fall in the trap of worldly
temptations. This inner energy cannot be swayed by outward
forces. The diffusion of X-rays is neither too helpful nor too
dangerous on the human body. It only makes the human being restless.
But, the radioactive rays, on the contrary, are extremely dangerous
to all forms of living entities. These rays destroy the cells
of the body and make it white. While practising yoga, the aspirant
treats his body as a laboratory. Therefore, he should proceed
with outmost caution. It has been observed that, if there is
a little carelessness in the yogic act the Aapana air while
moving upwards gets disturbed, and in this process, radio active
rays are generated. A slight leakage from the Sushamna nerve
can cause immeasurable damage to the human body. The upwards
journey, and concentration, can make a man sharply aware of
the movement of Aapana and Prana. A man can experience hot
and cold sensations at the Navel point if he willingly forces
Aapana air to travel upwards, If the hot sensation has the
upper hand, and it remains for a longer time, it turns into
a green light of an inflammable nature. This green light is
highly volatile and if the yogi can gradually monitor it upwards
and blend it with Prana, he can achieve the supreme spiritual
bliss. There after, his life becomes saturated with the heavenly
nectar.
Just as a student of science uses different apparatus to carry
out a variety of experiments in order to achieve the right result,
like wise, the student of spiritual science needs to have an
in depth knowledge of micro nerves, arteries, the five pranas
(life forces), the chakras and finally the subtle way of using
them in various plus (+) and (-) minus combination without this
knowledge he can not experiment on this body, (which is the
laboratory). Yoga is a science, and the human body is like a
book. The theme of the book is the soul. And the sutras
which can unlock the potential of the human body are present
in this book. An extensive study of the sutras can enable
a man to understand the intricacies of his body.`
These sutras or formulas prove the amazing potential of the
human body. The knowledge of the astral science or Suksma
can be obtained with the help of these sutras. When the student
of spiritual science wants to detach himself from his body he
has to go through the stages of addition (+) and subtraction (-)
During this transition he puts his senses to sleep and his
intellect prana ego, and chitta budhi, all are transformed in
the astral form. He, thus finds himself in a new astral mould.
In conclusion we can say that man is not exclusively dependent
on the human body to exercise his faculties, he can at his free
will don a different attire. His physical frame is one of
his attires. 'Man' always says that I have assumed this bodily
frame to enjoy my Karmas and fulfil my needs. 'I am' the
master of this body, and the function of its different parts
depend on the dictates of my mind. I have to monitor the movement
of my body with my mind. Though I am not enslaved to my body,
yet due to ignorance ' I ' am considered as the slave of the
body. I reside in Buddhi - intellect, and display my ego. I
dwell in my 'Chitta'. All these characteristics reflect me.
And yoga is the only unique tool which can separate the 'I'
from the body in different permutations and combinations.
The following example can explain my statement in a simpler
manner an unexpected bout of depression, sometimes makes a man
feel listless. And the remedy of this malaise lies in the 'Yoga'.
'Yoga' helps in restoring the high spirits by detaching the
mind from the gross world and re-attaching it to the 'Buddhi'
(intellect). There after, "Buddhi" or the intellect
analyses the cause of the depression, establishes its contact
with the inner world and restores the high spirits. Similarly
Buddhi cannot take any decision independently. It has to travel
through various stages in order to reach to a final decision.
First it moves through the mandals of ego and attaches itself
to Chitta secondly it absorbs the messages which generate
from the inner-self. And lastly it communicates these messages
to the mind.
Algebraic equations, as we have seen, help the student of
Mathematics in solving difficult mathematical problems. Like
wise, a yogi also has yoga sutras which help him in probing
the mystery of the inner-self. First the yogi conquers the body
with the yogic sutras, and then he gradually starts tapping
the divine potential which is lying dormant within him. An
intense and patient research of his self, finally bears fruit
in the form of the discovery of 'I' . This realisation of
'I' helps in the cognition of Brahma and Shristi (creation).
The revelation of cosmos and how it was created by the supreme
intelligence, becomes clear to him. It no longer remains a matter
of nebulous fantasy, but a well balanced equation which is based
on the tantra nerves.
A self illumined yogi can enlarge the seeds of
his sanskaras and gain information about his past lifetimes.
'Sanskaras' are not destroyed with the mortal, but nevertheless
remain with the Atma or the Soul. When the light of self
realisation falls on the repository of past sanskaras it becomes
illuminated and the entire history of the yogi's previous births
is unfolded before him
The union of Ira, Pingla and Sushamna - the three principal
nerve currents is situated between the eye brows. The light
first travels through this vital spot and then inhabit the
sukshma mandals, which are also present in the Kapal or
the temple. It appears in the form of a luminous streak, almost
like a crack, in the suskmna mandals.
Hence onwards the enlightened yogi can control the movement
of this light through the Sankalpa Shakti. These physical as
well as suksmna activities are, thereafter monitored via
the medium of inner-self. (mind, Budhi, Chitta and ego). When
the yogi begins to control the suksmna activities one by one,
the difference between the gross and the suksmna ceases.
Moreover, when the thought vibrations of the yogi fall on
the astral plane then the astral which is akin to gross, reveals
its Virat form and opens its doors to him. There upon, the
yogi, can transmit his thought vibrations to any planet of the
innumerable galaxies and explore it minutely. The same rays
can liberate the soul when they fall on the zone of Mukti or
liberation. As a result the Jiva-atma, realises the self.
Immersed in the inner self - a yogi can bring to light the seeds
of his sanskaras by enlarging them. This process gives him information
of his previous births in an incredible vividness, sanskaras
remain with the Jivatma even in its astral existence. Thus the
Jiva-atma cannot free itself from the Karmic bondage. It
has to go through the roles of Karta (doer) and Bhogta. When
this divine light falls on this Karmic well, it illuminates
the total past karmas. In this way the yogi can recapture his
previous births.
