Friends! I was busy organizing my articles for a long time. Then I saw Gajanan inserting his trunk in the water pool, sucking up the water of Shakti from it and refreshing himself by drinking it and bathing himself with it. This also brought a little extra shakti inside me. Then I thought what should I write. There is no special experience left. Although scattered ordinary experiences float now and then but writing them wasn’t being ignited. Then I thought that whatever comes to mind, I will keep writing it. Many times writing itself creates experience.
Friends, there is data in the article. There is a lot of power in data. Data is not lifeless but alive. All religions are based on data. All religions have a special book, in which there is data in the form of articles, text data. Those books have made who knows how many agreements, how many wars have been fought; how many civilizations have been created, and how many civilizations have been destroyed. Books have made the lives of so many people and also ruined so many. Books have created so many great men and so many cruel demons. All this is the wonder of data. An inanimate object like a stone or wood cannot do so many things. A single person with limited consciousness can not do so much. Even the people of the whole world together cannot do so much. This makes us realize the immense conscious power of data. Even if all the people come together, a work plan will have to be made to run them in a systematic manner. That detailed work plan cannot be kept in anyone’s mind. Even if it is kept, it is almost impossible to explain it to everyone one by one by speaking. It will have to be kept in the form of data. Keep it in any form, be it text, audio or video, it is all data. Everyone can access this data simultaneously. This gives effective and quick results. If we try to explain it to everyone by speaking, then by the time we explain it to the new people, the old people forget it. Even after a person’s death, he remains alive in the form of his data and keeps guiding the world for centuries. This means that the data of a person’s life has more consciousness than that living person himself. The data of one person creates countless people like him. Data, especially text data, is almost immortal. People of many religions have been guided till date by the data of the lives of so-called great men born hundreds and thousands of years ago.
Data is of utmost importance for a deep subject like Kundalini Yoga. It takes almost a lifetime to learn it. Most people get Yog Siddhi in the last phase of their life. At that time, they do not have the power to propagate it among the common people. And Yoga is such a thing that it takes a person away from publicity and towards solitude. In such a situation, the Yogi has no other option but to leave the world leaving behind his text data made while living in anonymity. This is what the Vedas, Puranas and countless scriptures are made of. They do not have the names of the authors, meaning they were written in anonymity. They are the original ones. The scriptures of later times made for publicity seem like their copies to me. However, they are also doing the work of data very well. If the Gods and Goddesses awakened by Yoga Sadhana were not kept safe in the form of data, then how could countless Yogis of later times attain salvation by meditating on them. If I did not get online text data related to Yoga, then how would I have been able to do higher Sadhana.
Data is a Guru in a way. But like everything else, it can also be misused. A person can learn wrong things by getting wrong data. A person can also interpret the right data incorrectly. Therefore, it has become more important to test the data than to get it, especially in today’s time when everyone is diving into the waves of the sea of unlimited data, to know whether it is really beneficial or is it harmful?
Data not only improves the physical world, it also improves the spiritual world. When the physical life becomes well organized with the help of data handling, then man gets enough extra time in which he can do yoga. When the work of a man’s brain starts being done by cloud computing with artificial intelligence, then naturally his brain becomes free from the burden of work. The power of the brain which was earlier spent in remembering, making action plans, and doing jobs like slaves, is now available for free. Kundalini yoga can be easily accomplished with that power. It means that man is going towards the same primitive age when the brain was not burdened with work and stress. Because yoga is possible with that same brain and yoga is the main goal of human life. Ultimately development will go in the direction of Kundalini awakening, no matter what name you give it or what form you give it. Man can turn away from it as much as he wants but ultimately he will reach here. This world is round, man reaches where he starts from.
Meditation on the deity destroys sins. The word deity itself means one with luminous qualities. Devta is derived from the word div, which means light. Light is one of the highest human qualities. It means that a deity can be considered as a great human being. That is why the idol of a deity is clean and full of Sattva qualities. The picture is also like that. Full of qualities like calm, kind, truthful, friendly etc. Meditation on a distorted and inhuman picture can cause harm instead of benefit. However, when Sattva increases through meditation, a gentle image of the deity is automatically formed in the mind, no matter how it looks outside. That is why the sign, pindi, etc. of a deity does not have any special human form, rather it is a chip of gold-like metal or a stone slab, but constant meditation on it creates a gentle image of a human deity in the mind. This is because meditation increases Sattva qualities and a Sattva or gentle body is of a human being, not of any animal or demon or inanimate object. Of course, animals and non-living things can be helpful in meditation. Sin is a form of Tamoguna, which is destroyed by meditation of Satvaguna, just as darkness is destroyed by light. Actually, sin is destroyed by the power of meditation, but we feel that it is being destroyed by God. A cowherd loved his buffalo very much. Due to this, he focused on it. Slowly, its glow increased and in meditation, it became bright, calm and with Satoguna, full of all human qualities. As his meditation became strong, he entered Samadhi and became liberated. All the work was done by meditation, the buffalo did not do anything. That is why Patanjali writes in his Ashtanga Yoga that Yathabhimata Dhyanat Va. That is, if you focus on any thing of your choice, then you get Samadhi and liberation. But like most Yogis, I like meditation on God only, because they are made in a scientific way of spirituality, which also gives other Kundalini benefits.
