Friends, the things said in the scriptures have deep meanings. As we were discussing that Yoga goes from grossness to subtlety. Death or Pralaya is also called going from grossness to subtlety. Then what is the difference between Yoga and death, let us understand it a little more deeply. The subtlety of death stops at the ego. But the subtlety of Yoga reaches the soul. The soul is the last limit of subtlety. There is nothing more subtle than the soul. It also has an attraction like a black hole. The one who finds it, never returns to the physical world again. Then forever the subtle and infinite world of the soul becomes his world. On the other hand, the subtlety of death stops at the ego. Man’s ego is undoubtedly subtle, and all the past activities of man are recorded in it in the form of subtle codes. But still it is as gross as a mountain in front of the most subtle soul. There is absolutely no trace of the gross world in the soul, not even in a subtle or code form.
Some people call this ego the soul. Some people call it the subconscious mind. Some call it as subtle body. All this is a jugglery of words. It is the same thing. It is called ego or ahankar because it appears to everyone in their own form, not in an alien form. But in reality, it is not one’s own form. That is why ego is called false and deceptive in the scriptures. The Sanskrit word “aham” of ahamkar itself means “I”. The world with which a man deals is in an alien form. Like a man says that he drove a car. He does not say that he drove himself. But he does not realize that those alien things of the world, while in a subtle form, create and increase his ego as his own form.
As per the above, man’s ego i.e. subconscious mind is filled with all alien things. But man never considers them alien. That is because they are in a very subtle form. They are so closely attached to the soul that they do not leave it even after death. They always travel with the soul of a man in different births and in different worlds. That is why they appear as its own form to the soul. In a way, man keeps roaming around the whole world with them. It is said that so and so’s life is over and he has left this world. But the world never leaves him. It remains with him in the form of his ego.
The shadow of every alien object or alien thought remains recorded in the soul of a man in the form of ego. Many people skilled in worldly affairs make big claims or pretend that they do not have ego, but it is impossible. Many great egoists roam around pretending to be enlightened. I am not talking about the originator of any religion. The shadow of the world will remain on the soul, no matter how much the man tries to protect himself. Yes, if he keeps doing Kundalini Yoga along with it daily, then that shadow will become weak and the shadow formed will start disappearing. Then we can say that a certain man has very little ego. The meaning is clear that Kundalini Yoga is the measure of someone’s ego, not worldliness.
Either a person should consider the gross world as his own form like the subtle world of his ego or he should not consider anyone as his own form. The problem arises when the gross world is considered as someone else’s form and the subtle world is considered as one’s own form. When a person considers the gross world as his own form like his ego, then his attachment towards it will reduce. Who gets attached to himself? This will create a less deep shadow on the soul. This will reduce the ego itself. If a person considers the ego as someone else along with the world, then he will incline towards Kundalini Yoga Sadhana and with its help will surely want to remove the alien and putrid thing stuck to his pure soul.
The common man does not know about his pure soul. That is why he considers his ego as his soul. But with Kundalini awakening, a person experiences his pure soul. Of course, the experience of Kundalini awakening and the experience of the soul associated with it lasts only for a few moments. Due to this, the ego clearly appears as someone else and stuck to the pure soul due to ignorance. This ignorance is the ignorance of the soul, which has been advised to be eradicated by knowledge of the soul everywhere in the scriptures. It means that indirectly the advice of Kundalini awakening has been given, because only then will the knowledge of the soul be attained, that is, the experience of the soul. The knowledge of the soul is not like bookish knowledge that you read and it is done, as many people think. Rather, it is the direct experience of the soul. In any case, one can only read about something else. How can one read about oneself? One can only feel oneself directly. Therefore, an awakened person, that is, a self-aware person, keeps trying to remove the ego in the form of a poisonous vine through various types of sadhnas including Kundalini Yoga. Perhaps in a philosophical style, the ego itself has been called the poisonous vine aka Vishabel, because both tend to cling, and kill the one they cling to. Similarly, the ego itself has been called the Akashbel that’s sky vine. Akashbel means a vine that clings to the sky. The soul is clean and empty like the sky. Only the ego can cling to it, nothing else can cling to the sky. It is also surprising that ego does not leave safe even the empty sky.
The meaning is clear that Kundalini Jagran is not a permanent achievement. But its importance lies in the fact that it keeps motivating a person towards Yoga. Yes, not everyone gets Kundalini Jagran. That is why one is asked to keep company with an awakened person. Just like a person who knows about gold tells the entire world how to identify gold. In the same way, only an awakened person can tell the entire society the true identity of ego.
This is why Kundalini awakening has been given a lot of importance in the scriptures. In today’s satsangs etc., of course the main preacher etc. are not awakened, but they repeat the words of awakened people written in the scriptures. This also works. That is why Vyas or spiritual storyteller is also given a lot of importance and respect. Of course they are not awakened, but they explain the words of awakened people to the listeners well with their philosophical cleverness and eloquence. We also try to do almost the same on this website, because we keep trying to understand and present the spiritual facts of the scriptures to the world in a modern, scientific and logical form.
