Friends, many people might think that if they reach the ego, they will automatically reach the soul. But this is not so. Nothing happens on its own. One has to make efforts for the soul till the end. Mind, intellect, ego etc. are just different levels to reach the soul. Those who do not make efforts will soon return from the ego as well. From the ego, one will come to the level of intellect. Then to the level of mind, then to the level of prana, then to the senses, then to the tanmaatras and then to the level of mahabhutas i.e. complete materiality. This cycle continues. Only yogis can reach from the ego to the soul. Although the soul can be attained by any means. But like everything else, there is a very easy and scientific way to attain the soul. That is, first behave like a karma yogi at the level of the five mahabhutas. Karma yoga lays the foundation stone to reach the soul. Then with the passage of time or after working hard at this level for a few years, the man himself feels that he is being transformed. He himself enters the higher level of Panchtanmatra. It means that when he looks at something, he feels that he is feeling the form. While looking at different objects, he does not feel anything different except the common form. This is a feeling similar to Advaita. Similarly, while hearing different types of sounds, he feels only a common sound. He does not feel much difference between those sounds. While experiencing different types of taste, he only feels the common rasa bhaav. He does not see them separately. While feeling different types of touch, he does not feel different substances. He only feels the sensation of touch, which is sometimes more, sometimes less, sometimes of one kind, sometimes of another. It means that he does not feel the difference between substances, but feels fluctuations in sensation. Still, it is only sensation that occurs. He does not see different types of odorous substances separately, rather he feels only the smell tanmatra in all of them in different virtual forms. If he maintains Karma Yoga and Advaita Bhaav, then he enters the higher level of Panch Karmandriyas and Panch Gyanendriyas from the level of Panchtanmatra. It means that now he does not feel the sensations of these five senses and the sensations of the five karmendriyas in external objects but in his own senses. It means he feels that these sensations are not arising outside but in his senses. Then what kind of attraction is there towards the senses of his own body. Therefore, he does not get attracted by those sensations and starts moving inward automatically. However, if he gives up spiritual efforts, then he can fall down from this level and again fall to the level of Panchtanmatra and Panchmahabhoot.
If he maintains Karma Yoga and Advaita Bhaav, then he gets elevated to the level of Prana. In this, his breath starts becoming long and deep in at times. If we see, each level lasts for a long time and also all the levels keep working together. Especially with the Karmayoga obtained from Sharirvigyan Darshan, all these levels also keep working together. Yes, then the mind becomes active by taking a long and deep breath on its own. When a person takes this long breath for a long time with Kundalini Yoga, then he gets more benefits. It also seems that on reaching the level of Prana, one gets more benefits from Kundalini Yoga. Although, it can be done before this also. When the mind also starts getting controlled by Sharirvigyan Darshan and Kundalini Yoga, then the person reaches the level of intellect. The intellect will also start searching for the soul only if it is deliberately directed. When the intellect is also controlled by Kundalini Yoga, then it will dissolve in the ego. Everything will be hidden in the ego in the form of dark soul. That is why in this state the image of Kundalini always remains in the mind. This is because the energy of the brain has to be spent somewhere or the other. If the Kundalini picture is forcefully removed, then that energy can again run towards the world. Therefore, to reach the soul, the help of Kundalini will have to be taken. At this level, if intense and tantric Kundalini sadhana is done, then the ego dissolves in the soul due to Kundalini awakening. If this is not done, then the person can gradually come out of the ego to get expanded and lost in the outside physical world again. It means that Kundalini is like a gatekeeper standing outside the divine palace of the soul. Only if it is respected and supported, only then one will get entry into the infinite palace of the soul, otherwise one will have to keep wandering in the jungle of the outside world.
