Friends, if you look at it, by paying attention to the breath from time to time, the feeling of self aka soul is connected with the worldly activities and thoughts. This is because breath is also the closest to the soul, that is, to oneself. That is why it is said that worldly thoughts should also continue along with the breath. It should not be stopped. If it is stopped forcefully, it will coil and sleep. If it is allowed to remain awake, it will first give pleasure by feeling like the self. This will be like the savikalp bliss of savikalp samadhi. Then it will make you feel even more pleasure by merging into the self. This will be like the nirvikalp bliss of nirvikalp samadhi. This state is different from the mindlessness in which thoughts are suppressed forcefully. In this state, thoughts do not get destroyed but become one with the self. Patanjali’s Yogaschittavritti nirodhah is for this state, not for suppressing thoughts forcefully. In this, along with pleasure, you will also feel weightlessness and peace. That is because some burden of garbage of thoughts has been removed. Meaning the Kundalini Shakti will merge with Shiva. This Shakti merges with Shiva little by little and also gets collected afresh. It keeps merging with self little by little. It is not known so because a lot of Shakti is sleeping in a coil. Along with it, new Shakti also keeps joining it. In a few moments of Kundalini awakening, all the Shakti merges with Shiva at once and can be felt well. That is why Kundalini awakening is generally seen as the union of Shakti and Shiva.
By looking at the body in between worldly activities and paying attention to it, the feeling of self keeps getting attached to worldly activities and thoughts according to this principle. This makes them free from the feeling of attachment and hatred. Only pure love remains attached to them. Attachment or hatred can only be with other things, not with oneself. Attachment means sticking to the other only.
A stick can stick only to the flag, not to itself. It is already stuck to itself, and is one with itself. There is no one else to stick to. In the same way, by hating the flag, it can be freed and removed from the pole. How can the pole be freed from the pole because it is already one with itself. How can one remove oneself from oneself? Even if the flag is removed from the pole with hatred, it will still remain stuck to it in an unexpressed form. Meaning, it will always feel that the flag was there earlier but is not there now. Meaning, the flag will remain present in the form of its absence. In the same way, if a thought is hated and forcibly removed from the mind, it will remain in the form of darkness created by the absence of that thought. Meaning, it will remain stuck. If a person’s eyes are always on the pole along with the flag, then no special attachment towards the flag will arise. This is because the attachment will be divided between the flag and the pole. Together, the pole and the flag will look similar or identical, because both are dependent on each other and are manifesting together. Second, the importance of both will remain in front of his eyes and he will not only praise the flag. Then when the flag will disappear, his mind will remain attached to the stick. Because he was not much attached to the flag, so he will not be much attached to its absence either. Meaning, in the same way, contrary to the common belief, body maintenance and decoration can give benefits instead of harm according to Tantra. Meaning, there is no harm in giving new shapes to the body and molding it according to fashion.
