Friends, an idle mind is really the devil’s workshop. That is why I keep doing something or the other all the time. If I don’t see anything to do, I start writing. My son works awake so that he can have good dreams. Wow, he considers the world of wakefulness to be fake and the world of dreams to be real. I was shocked to hear this. A new thought arose. All the sages and Vedas and Puranas also say the same thing. They say that a life full of detachment and non-duality is the real one. Such is the life in dreams as well. In that, happiness and sorrow, all feel almost the same. Everything is in the form of experience. Pure experience. All experiences are in the form of happiness. If a lion runs from behind, even though you are afraid, you don’t feel afraid. If someone starts fighting, even though you are angry, you don’t get angry. If you fall from a mountain, even though you are in pain, you don’t feel sad. Even if you get a kingdom, even though you are happy, you don’t feel happy. Meaning, uniform happiness is everywhere, but not the polluted happiness of materialism. It is a happiness in the form of a subtle experience. The physical gross world pollutes the subtle experience of happiness and sorrow. Happiness increases due to the gross world, but it also increases sorrow. The higher the ball goes, the lower it falls. Happiness is the soul’s own form. But the world subjugates it and creates waves in that uniform spiritual happiness. Then, with time, in the absence of the gross world, that wave is destroyed. Due to this, of course, a person reaches the uniform or waveless spiritual happiness again, but in that state, darkness in the form of sorrow is felt. This appears to be due to illusion. Actually, it is not so. It is like after moving around in a circular motion around your body, everything around you feels as if it is rotating for a while. This is also called dizziness. This is why the word illusion has been used for ignorance.
While living in the world, no one can escape from illusion. Yes, it can definitely be reduced. Perhaps that is why people leave the world and become sadhus and sanyasis, so that the world cannot create illusion. But the disadvantage of this is that it does not lead to self-development. Because the world is necessary for this. The world can also be called a necessary evil in this case. That is why it is considered appropriate for those who have attained self-awakening to take sanyaas. It means that they have reached the peak of self-development, and there is no need for them to get entangled in the world. Actually, there is a need. But only to keep the body alive, because until the age determined by the previous deeds is not completed, the sanskars related to the prarabdha karma will keep troubling. Yes, this will not create sanskars for the next birth.
Dreams also produce a wave in self-happiness, but not as much as the awakened state. That is why when that wave disappears in the dream, the illusion is also not as much as in the awakened state. Some illusion is there. That is why it is said in the scriptures that the world is like a dream, and it should be considered as a dream only. In reality, it is so because the physical world does not enter the mind. We are only feeling its subtle picture, as we do in dreams. But considering it gross and physical creates all the mess. Man considers it gross and physical only in the greed of a wave of happiness, so that he can get more pleasure from the wave. At that time he does not realize the sorrow that comes with it in the long run. Actually, the big wave is called the gross world and the small wave is called the subtle world. While watching a movie, nothing gross happens but many people become too attached to it. Meaning, they get too immersed in it. And create a wave of happiness to the fullest from it. Due to this, the scenes shown on the screen, despite being subtle, become gross for them. That is why, many times, when such and such scenes come, they create a ruckus and vandalism in the theater. Many people, despite being in the gross world, do not get attached to it. They remain absolutely calm no matter what happens. Meaning, it does not create huge or rapid waves in their mind. For them, even the gross world is as subtle as a dream. Due to this they remain the same in happiness and sorrow. But the same thing is that for self awakening, strong mental waves like that of physically awakened state are also necessary.
This world is like a river flowing in both directions. That is why it is not understood properly. It lifts some people up and takes some people down. It can be said that the worldliness full of attachment should be pacified with non-dualistic philosophies like Sharirvigyan Darshan. This will give self awakening and also will not create illusion. Kundalini Yoga can give this benefit that the power to hold the picture of Samadhi felt during the non-dualistic feeling will increase and along with this, due to the energy in the brain, one will be able to do the feeling of Sharirvigyan Darshan well along with worldliness. Because every chakra is connected to some kind of worldliness, so at the time of every kind of work, some chakra or the other will become active. Meaning, the effect of power will increase to that chakra. Due to this, the feeling of Sharirvigyan Darshan along with that work will become easy, because all work is done with power. That extra power may seem trivial to us, but it is very useful. With the daily practice of Kundalini Yoga, the channels to all the chakras will remain open. When energy reaches the chakras, some energy will also reach the chakras of the brain, because all the chakras are interconnected. And it is from the brain that feelings arise, whether dualistic or non-dual.
In between, with the feeling of physiology, a person should continuously oscillate between the waking state and the dream state.
This will give you the benefits of both. Both the awakened and the dream state. The benefits of the awakened state include the benefits of material worldliness along with Kundalini awakening and the benefits of the dream state include the benefits of sannyasa. Meaning that the awakened state changes into the dream state with Kundalini yoga. However, the dream state also changes into the awakened state because of it. When there is fatigue in the body, that is, incapacity, that is, lack of strength, then the person is in a state similar to that of intoxication or dream. When he gets strength from Kundalini yoga, he again becomes like an awakened person in the worldly life. Of course, later, being troubled by it, he again changes his physically awakened state into a dream state with the feeling of physiology philosophy, and minimizes his illusion. At that time, he has the power. That state is not like that of intoxication or sleep, in which there is no strength. Therefore, his extra power is transformed into a mental picture of samadhi. Meaning that he enters samadhi with that extra power.
When one feels his present state in the body, the breath comes out of the stomach rapidly, especially if there is a lot of pressure in the brain. Due to this, the energy descending from the front channel makes the brain feel lighter. I feel that this energy going down turns back from the Muladhara and ascends to the brain again through the spinal cord. This means that a closed circuit loop of energy is formed. Surprisingly, this energy going up does not increase the pressure in the brain but makes it lighter. Anyway, the pressure should increase due to lack of energy. Perhaps the back part of the brain helps more in creating emotions, or it is the main controller of the entire brain. That is why the energy received by its back part from the spinal cord is more effective. It may also be that the energy pushed down is not full of oxygen. While passing down through the heart chakra, it becomes full of oxygen, gets purified and ascends up from the back. Perhaps that is why it is said that the energy should keep moving in the microcosmic orbit loop. If there is lethargy or low pressure in the brain, then deep breath is taken in. Due to this, the energy ascends up and makes the brain powerful. This means that if there is no energy in the brain, then how will it descend down. That is why at that time the emphasis is on lifting it from the bottom to the top. It happens on its own. Meaning, just as the gross physical body remains in balance, similarly it also makes the mind in the same way, if it is meditated upon properly.
Kundalini awakening is also like physical awakening. It can also be called the peak point of the physical awakened state. Because in this, the subconscious mind also awakens along with the conscious mind. Meaning that for Kundalini awakening, one has to be more awakened than the awakened state. This can happen only from the awakened state, not from the dream state. However, it can be achieved by saving the energy by converting the awakened state into a dream state. Meaning that dream state also have a contribution in this. But that dream state is not a dream state of powerlessness or laziness or compulsion, but a dream state that has been achieved deliberately. With that extra energy, the mental picture of the form of a Guru, God etc. is meditated upon. With practice, that meditation increases so much that that mental picture awakens. Although usually the mental picture is in the dream state, but at the time of Kundalini awakening it comes into the awakened state. It means that the mental wave that creates that picture becomes so strong that it crosses the limits of the dream state and enters the realm of the awakened state. The power that awakens it is so great that it also awakens the subconscious mind i.e. the soul with it. That is why everything seems non-dual i.e. one i.e. one’s own form because then the earlier sleeping dark soul becomes as bright as the awakened Kundalini picture by waking it up.
Actually, it is the soul that is awakened. The mental meditation picture is only a medium to awaken it. Because the Kundalini picture is a mental wave, which is already a form of an awakened state. Of course that wave is so light that it comes in the realm of the dream state. Still a wave is a wave. The mental waves of the dream state and the awakened state are the same thing, there is only a difference of intensity in them, nothing else. The light is the same, it does not change if it is reduced. What I mean to say is that the meditation picture was not asleep that it would wake up. The sleeping soul is connected to the subconscious mind which wakes up with the help of meditation picture. The meditation picture works to send power to the brain. When that power reaches above a certain limit, it wakes up the subconscious mind. We call this Kundalini awakening.
It is the soul that is asleep, and which wakes up at the time of Kundalini awakening. In reality, his illusion of being in deep sleep is dispelled, because it is only due to the illusion that he appears to be asleep. Of course, after experiencing a few moments of Kundalini awakening, the person goes back to sleep, but that deep sleep is not as effective as it was before because now he has known the truth. The subconscious mind of a man becomes like a burnt seed which does not have the power to give birth to a new life or birth. It is burnt by the light of the soul. Like a burnt seed, it exists but cannot give a new birth. Then it is said that the deeds that will be done after Kundalini awakening will create the subconscious mind to give results. But when the subconscious mind itself is burnt, then how can new deeds be added to it. When the basis of the existence of the subconscious mind is destroyed, then how will a new one be created. But then how will the fruits of the new deeds be obtained. Then a self-awakened man can do any sinful act without any fear. So in answer to this it is said that due to the absence of the subconscious mind, there is no attachment towards the deeds and their results. What attachment can light have towards light? Darkness has attachment towards light only. He keeps flowing with time. If he commits sinful deeds due to ignorance or compulsion, he gets its fruits quickly and in a mild form because his attachment was also mild. Even if he does not get the fruits in that life, he gets free by handing them over to nature. Now it is nature’s will to decide to whom it gives its fruits. Perhaps that is why it is said that the whole universe or the whole society has to suffer the consequences of the deeds done by great men. There are many such examples of the founders and preachers of religions, and great or world leaders. Why many religions are thirsty for each other’s blood till date, this can also be linked to this. All these experiences and thoughts are from the scriptures, which we are analyzing here as scientifically as possible. When the soul becomes illuminated or luminous, then every object or thought wave or the whole world will look like oneself because all things are luminous. What is the difference between light and light? This light is much above ordinary light, meaning it is the light of consciousness.
