Friends, the bullet train can stop, but once pen starts, it cannot stop. A thought came to my mind that in the scriptures, the ego has been called the subtle body. Although the subtle body has been described as being made up of the soul, ego, intellect, mind, five breaths, five sense organs and five organs of action. But it has also been said that all the deeds done by a man and all the fruits he enjoys dissolve in his sense organs. The sense organs dissolve in the breath. The breath dissolves in the mind. The mind dissolves in the intellect, and the intellect dissolves in the ego. So why not understand it in such a way that only the ego remains after death. It means that the entire life of a man is recorded in his ego. That is why there is a saying that the rope burned but the twist did not go away. It means that the body is destroyed but the ego attached to it is not destroyed. It is destroyed only when salvation is attained. Rishis often tell the wicked and demons that hey wicked, your ego will soon be destroyed. It means that man’s ego does not last forever. It means that knowledge will be attained. Ego is not eternal like the soul. Being a shadow of the world, it is as false as it is. Someday or the other, it has to be destroyed. That is why it is said that Ram naam satya hai. It means that the soul is the truth which never gets destroyed.
The merger of karmas and fruits into the senses means that the experiences related to them got recorded in a subtle form in the chakras of the body. Yogis eliminate them by taking them out through Kundalini Yoga, so that they are not able to reach the ego and are not able to bind them with the fruits of karma. The merger of senses into life does not mean that the senses have been destroyed. It means that due to the decrease in the activity of the body, the senses have become weak. This saved the life force of the body that they used to get. That extra power became available to the body in the form of life force aka prana. The mind started feeling the power of that extra life force. That is why the mind of a person wanders a lot while sitting. Those who practice Sakshibhaav Sadhna means witnessing meditation or Rajyogis weaken these thoughts arising in mind by remaining indifferent towards them. By doing this, they also do not get bound by the karmaphalam. But the method of Kundalini Yoga to crush the thoughts at the chakras itself is much easier and effective. If you destroy the weed in the nursery itself, it is better, because after reaching the field, it grows a lot and spreads in a very large area. When the mind is also controlled by yoga, its power is used by the intellect. That is why the one who controls the mind becomes proficient in many creative works such as writing, singing, poetry art, painting, etc. and gives the best creations to the world. All these works are done only by the concentrated mind as intellect, not by the ordinary mind as the wandering mind. Then when the intellect is also controlled or subdued by yoga, then the power of the intellect is used by the ego. Meaning, the intellect does not get destroyed but gets absorbed in the ego. Its all information gets locked in ego. That is why the ego of the one who makes a mark in the world with his intellect increases a lot. People start taunting him that his pride has increased a lot. People start getting jealous of him. When a man controls his ego through Kundalini Yoga, then its power starts to be felt by the soul. After the ego, only the soul remains to be attained. Although an egoistic man keeps running around in the world blowing his own trumpet, but when he starts doing Kundalini Yoga, the ego itself starts getting transformed into the experience of soul or Kundalini awakening. This is because only the soul is greater and wider than the ego. Ego is called Mahatattva because it is the greatest element or tattva. The things from which the world is made are called elements aka tattvas. Ego is the biggest among them. It is as wide as the sky. Of course, it is not the supreme consciousness like the soul. The soul is beyond all the elements of the world. It is because of this vastness of the ego that the soul that leaves the body has many supernatural powers. Many tantriks attain those powers by perfecting those souls. It is clear from all these things that the ego comprises the entire subtle body. However, it is like a sky as bright and dark as mascara.
After enlightenment, this process also goes on in reverse direction. Especially when the yogi starts entering the worldly life. His soul becomes a little dirty and turns into ego. Ego first comes out in the form of intellect. Then intellect becomes grosser in the form of mind, mind in the form of breath and breath in the form of senses. That’s why it’s seen that with good thoughts, good breathes start flowing. Also, with good breathes, senses are energized enough and cause good actions to be performed. Then the senses spread in the whole world in the form of various actions and fruits and create that man’s own personal and limited world. However, then he becomes a Karmayogi like King Janak, and rarely gets into worldly bondage.
