Kundalini as the gatekeeper allows entry into the infinite kingdom of the soul

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.

Kundalini awakening confirms that the truth is within rather than outside

Friends, according to the scriptures, the five senses form the five tanmatras. Tanmatras are the subtle forms of the Mahabhutas, which are experienced by the senses. This is an undivided experience, for example, the form tanmatra is the visible common form of all types of substances. It is common for stones, water, trees, etc. It means that water and earth are two different Mahabhutas, but their form tanmatra is the same. Both of them are visible due to this form tanmatra. The eyes senses receive only the form tanmatra of both of them, nothing else. This form tanmatra reaches the eyes through the rays of light. Similarly, the nose sense perceives the smell tanmatra. The ear perceives the sound tanmatra and the skin perceives the touch tanmatra. The tongue sense perceives the taste tanmatra. These tanmatras work to give experience to the senses and make them realize the five mahabhutas. This is why it is said that the Mahabhutas are formed from the tanmatras. When we perceive the form tanmatra of a stone, we feel the presence of something. When we also feel its touch tanmatra, we feel that it is hard. When we perceive its smell tanmatra and rasa tanmatra, we come to know that it is not food. When we also perceive its shabda tanmatra, we come to know that it is not an unbreakable metal, but a breakable stone. In this way, we come to know all the characteristics of any substance from the five tanmatras. Then why is it said that earth is created from the smell tanmatra, water from the rasa tanmatra, fire from the form tanmatra, air from the touch tanmatra, and sky from the shabda tanmatra. This is because out of all these tanmatras, only one tanmatra is the main one in any one Mahabhuta. The rest of the tanmatras are normal, or are available by mixing with other mahabhutas. Pure water is odorless. Therefore, the presence of odor tanmatra is not considered in it. But if hard pulses are cooked in it, then it will have a smell. That is why earth, which means a hard object, has been given the main quality of smell. Whatever we can taste, we can taste it only when the food is mixed with the saliva fluid of our mouth. This fluid is like water. If the mouth is dry due to lack of hunger, then we cannot taste anything. That is why the water mahabhuta has been given the main quality called rasa. Rasa means taste as well as liquid. When the sun shines or a lamp is lit, only then we get the feeling of all the forms. That is why fire has been given the main quality of form. The most sensitive, good and pleasant touch is obtained from air only. That is why air is considered to be produced from the touch tanmatra. If there is a wall or mountain between two people, then their voice does not reach each other. That means there should be open sky to carry the voice or word. That is why the sky is said to be made of shabda tanmatra. Meaning, if we do not feel the Panchmahabhutas, then they will not be considered to exist. What is the significance of having a palace in darkness. All the Mahabhutas and the entire world made of them are in darkness, if no one can feel them. Then they are as good as non-existent. We feel them only through the tanmatras. Meaning they originated from the subtle tanmatras. This is the approach from inside to outside. This is spirituality. This is the true approach. The approach from outside to inside is physical science. This is a spiritually false approach. Yes, it can be true physically. But physicality itself is also false, of course, for practical purposes it has to be accepted as the working truth.

The truth is inside, not outside. This is the reality. This reality is directly experienced during Kundalini awakening, when the entire world is felt in that inner soul, which is located deep inside the heart or brain, and is generally felt as the darkness of the ego.

The dissolution of the Pancha Mahabhuta into the Tanmatra does not mean that the Pancha Mahabhuta like water, air etc. were destroyed. It means that the senses did not perceive the Pancha Mahabhuta as clear or separate objects or in separate forms. Rather, they were perceived as Tanmatras. The sea was not perceived as any separate and real entity. But it was felt as a mixture of Rupa Tanmatra, Rasa Tanmatra, Touch Tanmatra, Smell Tanmatra and Shabda Tanmatra. It is like the computer was not felt as a separate object but was felt as a mixture of CPU, hard disk, motherboard etc. Meaning, in a way, the computer did not get destroyed but remained the same, but merged into its components. Anyway, Advaita philosophy says that the components are the truth, not the object made from the components. It can also be understood like this that the Rupa Tanmatra felt the form and shape of all things but the eyes could not observe those things deeply. Meaning, only the general form was known, not the differences in the forms. This general form itself is the Rupa Tanmatra. When the difference is felt in it, this general form starts appearing in the form of different objects. This means that Agni Mahabhoot is generated from the form tanmatra. The quantity of this Agni Mahabhoot is different in all objects. This is what happens with all the Mahabhoots.

Kundalini Yoga destroys weeds in the nursery itself

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.

Kundalini Awakening can help ego to be properly identified and properly removed

Friends, the things said in the scriptures have deep meanings. As we were discussing that Yoga goes from grossness to subtlety. Death or Pralaya is also called going from grossness to subtlety. Then what is the difference between Yoga and death, let us understand it a little more deeply. The subtlety of death stops at the ego. But the subtlety of Yoga reaches the soul. The soul is the last limit of subtlety. There is nothing more subtle than the soul. It also has an attraction like a black hole. The one who finds it, never returns to the physical world again. Then forever the subtle and infinite world of the soul becomes his world. On the other hand, the subtlety of death stops at the ego. Man’s ego is undoubtedly subtle, and all the past activities of man are recorded in it in the form of subtle codes. But still it is as gross as a mountain in front of the most subtle soul. There is absolutely no trace of the gross world in the soul, not even in a subtle or code form.

Some people call this ego the soul. Some people call it the subconscious mind. Some call it as subtle body. All this is a jugglery of words. It is the same thing. It is called ego or ahankar because it appears to everyone in their own form, not in an alien form. But in reality, it is not one’s own form. That is why ego is called false and deceptive in the scriptures. The Sanskrit word “aham” of ahamkar itself means “I”. The world with which a man deals is in an alien form. Like a man says that he drove a car. He does not say that he drove himself. But he does not realize that those alien things of the world, while in a subtle form, create and increase his ego as his own form.

As per the above, man’s ego i.e. subconscious mind is filled with all alien things. But man never considers them alien. That is because they are in a very subtle form. They are so closely attached to the soul that they do not leave it even after death. They always travel with the soul of a man in different births and in different worlds. That is why they appear as its own form to the soul. In a way, man keeps roaming around the whole world with them. It is said that so and so’s life is over and he has left this world. But the world never leaves him. It remains with him in the form of his ego.

The shadow of every alien object or alien thought remains recorded in the soul of a man in the form of ego. Many people skilled in worldly affairs make big claims or pretend that they do not have ego, but it is impossible. Many great egoists roam around pretending to be enlightened. I am not talking about the originator of any religion. The shadow of the world will remain on the soul, no matter how much the man tries to protect himself. Yes, if he keeps doing Kundalini Yoga along with it daily, then that shadow will become weak and the shadow formed will start disappearing. Then we can say that a certain man has very little ego. The meaning is clear that Kundalini Yoga is the measure of someone’s ego, not worldliness.

Either a person should consider the gross world as his own form like the subtle world of his ego or he should not consider anyone as his own form. The problem arises when the gross world is considered as someone else’s form and the subtle world is considered as one’s own form. When a person considers the gross world as his own form like his ego, then his attachment towards it will reduce. Who gets attached to himself? This will create a less deep shadow on the soul. This will reduce the ego itself. If a person considers the ego as someone else along with the world, then he will incline towards Kundalini Yoga Sadhana and with its help will surely want to remove the alien and putrid thing stuck to his pure soul.

The common man does not know about his pure soul. That is why he considers his ego as his soul. But with Kundalini awakening, a person experiences his pure soul. Of course, the experience of Kundalini awakening and the experience of the soul associated with it lasts only for a few moments. Due to this, the ego clearly appears as someone else and stuck to the pure soul due to ignorance. This ignorance is the ignorance of the soul, which has been advised to be eradicated by knowledge of the soul everywhere in the scriptures. It means that indirectly the advice of Kundalini awakening has been given, because only then will the knowledge of the soul be attained, that is, the experience of the soul. The knowledge of the soul is not like bookish knowledge that you read and it is done, as many people think. Rather, it is the direct experience of the soul. In any case, one can only read about something else. How can one read about oneself? One can only feel oneself directly. Therefore, an awakened person, that is, a self-aware person, keeps trying to remove the ego in the form of a poisonous vine through various types of sadhnas including Kundalini Yoga. Perhaps in a philosophical style, the ego itself has been called the poisonous vine aka Vishabel, because both tend to cling, and kill the one they cling to. Similarly, the ego itself has been called the Akashbel that’s sky vine. Akashbel means a vine that clings to the sky. The soul is clean and empty like the sky. Only the ego can cling to it, nothing else can cling to the sky. It is also surprising that ego does not leave safe even the empty sky.

The meaning is clear that Kundalini Jagran is not a permanent achievement. But its importance lies in the fact that it keeps motivating a person towards Yoga. Yes, not everyone gets Kundalini Jagran. That is why one is asked to keep company with an awakened person. Just like a person who knows about gold tells the entire world how to identify gold. In the same way, only an awakened person can tell the entire society the true identity of ego.
This is why Kundalini awakening has been given a lot of importance in the scriptures. In today’s satsangs etc., of course the main preacher etc. are not awakened, but they repeat the words of awakened people written in the scriptures. This also works. That is why Vyas or spiritual storyteller is also given a lot of importance and respect. Of course they are not awakened, but they explain the words of awakened people to the listeners well with their philosophical cleverness and eloquence. We also try to do almost the same on this website, because we keep trying to understand and present the spiritual facts of the scriptures to the world in a modern, scientific and logical form.

Kundalini Yoga makes the world dissolve into the senses, the senses into the mind, the mind into the intellect, the intellect into the ego and the ego into the soul

Friends, this discussion on the subtle body is much progressing. I wanted to start a new discussion, but what is that the discussion goes through stages just like the evolutionary process of the universe. It begins, grows, and ends by producing a conclusion. No one can control it. This post also seems to be concluding to me. But still I don’t know how far it should go further.

We were talking about how the bodiless soul experiences itself as a subtle body. The stories of all its previous births are present inside the soul in a subtle form. It feels them as a subtle body. All this is fine, but without a gross body, how will it communicate with others? And how will it develop? See, sometimes it feels one part of the previous births more and sometimes another. It is like the soul with a body sometimes has one thought in its mind, sometimes another. First that thought is also felt in the soul as a subtle experience. After that experience, through the waves of the mind, assumes grossness in the form of that thought. That thought then comes out of the mouth in the form of words and becomes even grosser. When that word does a similar work, then it becomes even grosser in the form of the effect of the work or the world. In this way, grossness keeps on increasing. In this way, the soul expands in the entire world. In the end, this world shrinks and again gets absorbed in the soul. Then the whole process starts moving in the reverse direction. The gross objects of the world become subtle and get absorbed in the organs of action and knowledge. It is like this that the world gets absorbed in the chakras. That is why chakra sadhana is the most important part of Kundalini yoga. By meditating on the chakras, the memories related to the actions and the fruits produced by them or say senses for all of them come in the mind. Anyway, it is said that all the seven chakras are connected to all the senses of the body. It is said in this way that senses get absorbed in the mind. The mind then becomes even more subtle and gets absorbed in the intellect. Meaning that when the thoughts of the mind are dissolved, the intellect becomes sharper because the energy of the brain which was being consumed by the mind is now given to the intellect. The intellect then becomes more subtle and merges into the ego. Meaning that when the energy used by the intellect is not wasted in worldly affairs, it also merges into the ego. Ego means darkness. When a man rejects everything, only darkness will remain. In this darkness, when a man lights the flame of Kundalini through Kundalini Yoga, then in the awakened state it dissolves the ego into the soul, meaning that the experience of the soul is attained for a few moments in the form of Kundalini awakening. This whole game is of energy. When it was extrovert, it kept expanding outwards in the form of vibrant world. When it became introvert, it kept shrinking inwards and finally through Kundalini Yoga, Kundalini got expressed and through that energy it merged into the soul.

This ego is like the soul but it has less consciousness than the soul. Call it the living soul because the entire past history of man is hidden in it in the form of subtle codes. In the end, when the body is left, the ego also merges into the soul. After leaving the body, the ego does not merge into the soul but merges into the living soul. To merge into the soul, one has to experience the awakening of the Kundalini. During the experience of a few moments of awakening of the Kundalini, that ego, that is, the man’s own basic form of the living soul, merges into the soul. However, after that experience, the ego comes back again because no one can live life without the ego. Without it one would be as a perfect and pure soul, but the man having it will be completely like a stump of wood. He will have no reaction left towards the world. Well, when the energy of the ego does not escape, that energy gives rise to Kundalini awakening. All this happens only through Kundalini Yoga. All these elements live in the soul in a subtle form. Sometimes they come out of the soul, sometimes they get absorbed in it. In the scriptures, we find a similar description of creation and destruction, life and death. Even the journey from ignorance to knowledge, that is, from bondage to liberation, through yoga sadhana, is also described in a similar way. Actually, all these processes are the same. There is only a difference in the mindset, purpose, and methods of the process. Here, merging of something into something does not mean that the thing ends. Rather, it means that it becomes subtle, that is, it gets transformed into energy and appears in some other similar form. This is like the saying that the ocean is contained in a pot. It is said in the scriptures that the soul keeps expanding and withdrawing this world from within itself, just like a tortoise takes out its limbs from its shell and keeps withdrawing them inside its shell. Another example given is that just like a spider weaves its web with its mouth and then swallows that web in its mouth, similarly God also creates the entire world from himself, and finally merges it in himself.

Kundalini Yoga can decode the subtle body completely

Friends, we were talking about how action and effect are interconnected. This mutual effect is often called the karya karana sambandh parampara or cause effect relationship in scriptural philosophies. The soul produces effect through action and the Supreme Soul produces action through effect. It can be understood like this. The soul enjoys consciousness through the activity of its body. But the Supreme Soul is already full of consciousness, so his body keeps on functioning on its own. Not the activity of the common body, but the activity of the colossal body in the form of the universe. Because the consciousness of the Supreme Soul is infinite, so the body that acts due to it will also be infinite. Infinite air flows in the form of His breath. Innumerable suns shine in the form of His eyes. Innumerable works of the universe take place in the form of His arms. All the works of the universe are connected to each other in the form of His feet. Just as a man walks from home to the field and from the field to home on his feet. Therefore, the works of his house and field are connected to each other. Because all the activities of the entire universe are connected to each other. This will mean that God has innumerable legs, with which he can go everywhere at every moment. Similarly, if we start describing all the qualities of God, then not just one but innumerable books will be published. That is already well done in scriptures. The main question here is how does the bodiless soul or subtle body do all the work of the gross body?

Of course, the subtle body does all the work in a subtle form, but how does it do it? Here also, perhaps the story of action and effect will work. All the actions that a particular body has done from the beginning, get recorded on its soul in the form of a shadow of darkness. Meaning, the effect of those actions was received by it in the form of consciousness during its lifetime. But after death, it got recorded in its soul in the form of unconsciousness. Both consciousness and unconsciousness are relative to each other. In a living being, both of these are connected to each other. But God has absolute consciousness, because it is not dependent on any physical substance. The consciousness of a living being is dependent on its physical body. Hence, when its body gets destroyed, its consciousness also gets destroyed. However, consciousness is never destroyed, rather it remains encoded in his subtle body as unconsciousness. This means that his subtle body is made up of unconsciousness. However, this unconsciousness is as much as his consciousness used to be. All the data of his consciousness remains recorded in his unconsciousness. Perhaps this is the reason why he gets the fruits of his actions. Just as night becomes day and day becomes night, similarly the consciousness and unconsciousness of the soul keep on creating each other sequentially.

Now we go back to the mutual relationship between action and effect. The effect as consciousness in the soul is not unlimited like God. This effect in the soul is limited, hence the action or cause from it will also be limited. Because the effect in the soul without a body will be the opposite of the soul with a body, hence the action will be the opposite. The opposite does not mean that the opposite works will keep happening, but that those works will be in the imprint or subtle form. Therefore, whatever the soul with a body in the gross form thought, its consciousness increased from that. That consciousness will be recorded in the soul. With that recorded information, it will experience its thinking in its bodiless state. However, not the same experience as its living body used to have, but in a subtle and waveless or unchangeable form. This becomes the mind of its subtle body. The decisions that the living soul used to take while in the body, with the help of intelligence, also increased its consciousness. That too will be recorded in the soul. With that recorded information, it will experience its decision making after death. However, not the same experience as its living body used to have, but in a subtle and waveless or unchangeable form. This will be the intelligence of its subtle body. The egoistic feeling that the embodied soul used to experience, increased its consciousness. That consciousness will be recorded in his soul in a subtle form, that is, it will be recorded in the form of equivalent unconsciousness. With that recorded information, it will experience its egoistic feeling. However, not the same experience as its living body used to have, but in a subtle or waveless or unchangeable form. When there is no body, then waves cannot be formed. The consciousness that the embodied soul used to experience due to the work done by the organs of action, increased with it. Whatever it was, got recorded in the soul in a subtle form. From that recorded information, it will get the experience of its organs of action. However, not the same as its living body used to experience, but in a subtle and waveless or unchangeable form. The embodied soul, which experienced the work done by the sense organs, increased its consciousness with that. That consciousness will be recorded in the soul in a subtle form. From that recorded information, it will get the experience of its sense organs. However, not the same as its living body used to experience, but in a subtle and waveless or unchangeable form. The embodied soul, which experienced the five pranas (breaths) within itself, increased its consciousness. That consciousness will also be recorded in the soul in a subtle form. From that recorded information, it will get the experience of its pranas or breathing. However, not the same as its living body used to experience, but in a subtle and waveless or unchangeable form. In this way, the complete subtle body of the soul is formed. It is completely like its nearest gross body, because it has the greatest influence. Although the living soul has taken birth in countless species, therefore the soul experiences mainly its latest birth events in the form of its changeless and waveless dark subtle body even after death. Means It keeps experiencing its nearest body more. It does not feel that its body has been destroyed or has died. The only way to completely decode this subtle body is through Kundalini Yoga.

Kundalini Yoga makes an artist get rid of the clutches of the fake image of his film character and recognize his real self

Friends, all the experiences of the world are experienced by the soul. The soul itself becomes like the waves of the mind and feels itself as waves. This means that the soul is like an imitating monkey. It keeps on imitating the mind. The soul cannot feel anything else. It can only feel itself. To feel someone else, it takes the form of someone else and feels itself. Not someone else directly. This means that even if it does not become like someone else and remains in its original form or real form, it will still keep feeling itself. An artist takes the form of a joker and feels himself as a joker. Even if he does not become a joker, he will still feel himself as his original artist form. Sometimes he takes the form of a villain and feels himself as a villain, and sometimes as a hero. But his original artist form remains unchanged. A joker also eats food, a villain also eats food. A hero also eats food, and the original actor also eats food. This means that all the forms of the original actor do the same basic work. They only look different from the outside. Similarly, the original soul also does all the work. It does all the work in the form of a human being, and also in the form of an animal, work means all the basic works of life. All the forms look different only from the outside. There are many actors who get so immersed in their fake forms that they do not even notice their real form. It is said that the legendary film actor Rajesh Khanna was also one such artist. He used to play the role of his character very well. He used to bring life to his character. So it is natural that it would be difficult for a person to come out of that character. Due to this, he used to get depressed in his real life, and often remained lost in the memories and emotions of the fake forms of his art.

Almost the same thing happens with the soul. It remains happy in the memories of its various forms of bodies and almost forgets its real original form. Perhaps this happens more with those who work in the world with a lot of materialism and quality or with dedication or attachment. However, they soon understand this problem and come out of it. Those who spend their lives in such an easy going way or in comfort, do not come to know about this problem till their last breath, due to which they are not able to come out of it. This is a complicated matter to understand.

The scriptures say that the soul is full of consciousness. It needs to be simplified through writing art. Consciousness in the soul means that the soul does all the work like a conscious human being and also enjoys all the fruits in a similar way. Now if the soul does all the work like a human being, then the presence of all the organs of action is automatically proved inside it. It means that the five organs of action, hands, legs, speech, genitals and excretory ones, which do different work, are present inside the soul. Similarly, if the soul enjoys all the fruits like a human being, then the presence of all the sense organs in it is automatically proved. It means that the soul has all the five sense organs, eyes, ears, skin, nose and tongue, which enjoy the fruits or knowledge. Look, there is a need to understand a little. We have to grasp the effect, not the method. The main effect that expresses consciousness is bliss. All the organs of action and sense organs manifest this effect as bliss or say happiness, that is, they all manifest consciousness. So the consciousness of a creature varies according to the developmental status of its action oragans and sense organs. Because the original soul is the form of supreme bliss, therefore, since the effect of consciousness is infinite there, the consciousness will also be considered infinite in it or say it will be called supreme consciousness. When the effect became infinite in it, then the methods that produce that effect are automatically proved to be infinite. It means that all the organs of action and sense organs are present in the soul in an infinite form. This is the description of the Virat Roop in the Gita, in which his thousand hands, thousand feet, thousand faces etc. are mentioned.
When the soul takes birth in the form of a human body, it is acting as a person with limited consciousness. Means its consciousness is limited by the limited capability of its body. It is like a billionaire actor playing the role of a beggar in a film. By being in the role of a beggar, his consciousness decreases a lot. His organs of action are weak and they perform very few actions. Similarly, his sense organs are also weak and they experience very few fruits. It is possible that a billionaire actor may forget his real form and remain trapped as a beggar for the rest of his life. This happens with most souls. They forget their supreme conscious form and remain bound in the form of human bodies with limited consciousness. Perhaps this happens due to attachment. When attachment is eradicated through Kundalini Yoga, the soul recognizes its pure original form in the form of awakening. Recognizing is a different thing and attaining it is different. Yes, it is definitely true that recognizing something makes it easier to attain it. From my dream soul interview, it seems that the soul can do all the work of the concerned body at the base level. The basis of experience is the soul itself. With the help of the body, that experience gets more grossness, fluctuation and changeability. But man, caught in this glitz and glamour, forgets the basic experiences of the soul.

Kundalini Yoga increases the soul’s consciousness that propels it to heaven

Friends, knowing the state of the soul after death is a very complicated task. Yamraj had told this secret to Nachiketa of Kathopanishad out of compulsion to fulfill his promise of giving a boon. Yamraj had said that no one knows the complete secret except him, even the gods etc. The soul is endowed with a subtle body. It means that the soul can do all the work done by a living being. Then does the Supreme Soul also have a subtle body? The scriptures say that the Supreme Soul is beyond the gross, subtle and causal bodies. But then how can the consciousness of the Supreme Soul be proved like that of the soul? Consciousness is proved only by the body and the work done by it.

It is said in the scriptures that when the time of Pralaya was over, the Supreme Soul expressed his wish that he was getting bored alone, so he should change his form from one to many. This started the development of the universe. Desire comes from the mind, and decision is made by the intellect. The ego of one’s own feeling is present in the Supreme Soul too. This is pure ego, not distorted arrogance. Then the work of creation and development of the universe, which is supposed to be done through the organs of action and knowledge, was being done by God in a way. He is doing the same even today. The life force or pranas that operated those organs was also inside God in a way. This means that all the organs or qualities of consciousness are originally of God. The Gita also describes the Lord’s form with a huge body. In this form, the Lord has innumerable characteristics, such as He has many faces, many eyes, many arms, and many legs. Later these consciousness expressing organs and qualities were created in the ordinary organismic or human body, in which the soul started residing. The soul is also a part of God. After coming into the body, it forgot the infinite consciousness of its original God-form and got bound to the limited consciousness of the body. Then whatever consciousness the body had, the same amount started residing in it. After the death of the body, the consciousness of the body used to merge into it as subtle body. That is why the consciousness of the soul of animals is less developed. That is why the soul of an animal does not come to meet anyone nor can it talk to anyone, because the animals themselves are not able to talk. The fact that God has been described as being beyond the three bodies, it seems to mean that these three bodies are of God too, but He is not bound by them, and does not waver even a bit from His complete Sachchidananda form. Isn’t this surprising? This is the highest level of detachment. Overall, there seems to be no religion greater than detachment. I feel that all religions and rules are contained in this. Humanity, which is the most basic foundation of religion, is also connected to detachment.

Yes, so we were saying that a person’s consciousness goes into his subtle body after his death. The scriptures also prove this point of mine. It is mentioned in the scriptures that one attains heaven by doing good deeds. By doing good deeds, a person’s nature and outlook also become good. Due to this, his subtle body also becomes good. It is said that only a good subtle body can attain heaven. The gross body cannot go to heaven. There is also a saying that one cannot go to heaven without dying. It means that the consciousness of a person’s subtle body which increases due to his good deeds, is what gives him the happiness of heaven after death. Consciousness is happiness, consciousness is knowledge, consciousness is bliss. Heaven is happiness, heaven is knowledge, heaven is bliss. Similarly, the scriptures say that one goes to hell by doing bad deeds. By doing bad deeds, a person’s nature and outlook also become bad. Due to this, his subtle body also becomes bad. Bad subtle body is said to go to hell. It means that the consciousness of a person’s subtle body decreases due to his bad deeds, that is, its inertia increases, and that itself gives him the pain of hell after death. Inertia or unconsciousness is ignorance, inertia is sorrow. Hell is ignorance, hell is sorrow.

It is clear from these things that the consciousness of the soul increases through Kundalini Yoga. Soul is synonymous with the living soul here. The pure soul should be called the Supreme Soul. It is already supremely conscious. How can its consciousness increase? At many places, confusion is created by differentiating between soul and living soul. Well, it is not like that. They are explaining in detail. However, even if the word soul is used for both soul and God, the meaning of the word should be understood according to the subject. But not all people have the same level of intelligence. Kundalini Yoga clears the garbage of thoughts in the subtle body. This gives the man the power to work and to acquire knowledge. He does this with detachment because yoga makes his nature like this. Also , detachment saves his power from being wasted uselessly. He does good work because most good works are done with detachment.

Kundalini Yoga is the main motive of the soul getting birth inside a body

Friends, how can one’s complete personality be seen in darkness? I mean how can a living person be felt in the darkness of his soul. This can only happen if all the things said and thought by him, all his behavior and all his work done in his lifetime are recorded in that darkness. Everything should be recorded separately in that darkness. If the same darkness keeps increasing or decreasing by all, then that darkness will be considered inert. Just like different types of light in the form of different objects on gradually fading keep increasing the single and the same darkness of the night. By looking at the darkness, it is not known that which types of light in the form of different types of objects are contained in it. But while feeling the darkness of a person’s soul, we feel that different types of light in the form of different types of objects present in that person’s mind are contained there. However, still one undivided darkness is felt. This is surprising. Perhaps the same thing happens in black holes as well. There is only one undivided darkness in it, but if someone feels it through yoga etc. then perhaps all the substances swallowed by it can be felt in it, of course in subtle form. Science also says that information never gets destroyed. It is possible that in a black hole also, information of all separate substances is recorded or encoded in separate form. Then when a new universe or star is formed from that black hole, then that information again appears in the same gross form as earlier. However, science does not believe this. Therefore, consider it a thought experiment. Anyway, there are many areas, which are beyond the understanding of modern science. Spirituality is also one of them. That is why it is said that the soul is conscious. It means that it has everything that is in the mind of a living being in various forms. Of course, it is in gross form in the mind and in subtle form in the soul. But this is just a matter of saying and it is relative. While feeling the soul, we do not feel even the slightest difference between gross and subtle. We feel the entire living person as that dark soul. Even the soul itself feels that it is fully alive as before. Although it knows that now it has been freed from the bondage of the body, but it does not see any change in itself. It means the same old personality but in a new form such that it acquires additional qualities like comprehensiveness, immortality, of course not fully like God but in a relative form. It means that the soul itself is present in the form of what is called subtle body in the scriptures.

The subtle body of the scriptures is the soul itself. The subtle body has been described in detail only to embellish the words. The subtle body is said to consist of the soul, intellect, mind, ego, five sense organs, five organs of action and five breaths. It means that the soul can think, take decisions, feel its ego, can breathe, can listen, can speak, can smell, can feel the touch, can see, can work with hands, can walk with feet, can taste with tongue, can do the work of genitals and genitals. Then why does the soul take a body? Perhaps so that it can get waves. And also so that it can develop and reach God. It is said in the scriptures that the soul takes birth only to attain love. It is the same thing. Love is created from the waves of the mind. Why not say in simple words that the soul takes the body only for Kundalini Yoga, because only through Kundalini Yoga, love increases and by removing the impurities of the soul, the soul also develops.

So I am saying that the soul had talked to me. If it talked, it must have thought as well. If it thought, it must have taken a decision as well. If it talked to me, it must have seen me and listened to me as well. It must have felt itself or its ego, only then it would be able to talk. It means it had all the sense organs. Speech, that is, organ of speaking, is considered a sense of action. It means it also had sense of action. Along with that, it was telling me about a special activity going on at a faraway place which could have influenced me. It means it went there on its feet. It enquired about it and informed me about it. Feet are also sense of action. At the time of its physical state, that soul did not know anything about that activity. The body needs life and vital air to do so many things. Without air, even a leaf cannot move. It means the soul was doing the work of life without inhaling vital air or breathing. In other words or to explain, the sages have written that the subtle body i.e. the soul also has five vital breaths, which help in performing various tasks of the subtle body. The soul is the most important element in the subtle body as it is its base. All the other elements are dependent on the soul as they are based on it.

Kundalini Yoga dispels the darkness of thought waves

Friends, in this post we are going towards a little deeper philosophy. If someone does not want to go too deep, he can even skip this post. Let us first understand the beginning of the formation of waves in the soul. First of all, the soul was completely pure. It was like God. Then it got attached to a body. The brain created a virtual movement or wave in that soul. The wave that was formed covered the eternal light of the soul. How much did it cover? As much as the effect of one wave was. Then the darkness of the soul increased further with the second wave. More with the third, more with the fourth. This continued. It is like the lesser number of leaves on a tree makes a less dense shadow on the ground. But as the number of leaves increases, the density of the shadow also increases. Single leave has been likened here to a single thought wave. In a way, the shadow of the denser leaves contains the information of each level of the less dense leaves. This is because the greater quantity of something includes all the lesser quantities of that thing itself. The same happens with the soul. The darkness created by its higher waves includes the darkness created by each level of its lower waves. Or you can say that each type of wave created its kind of darkness in the soul. It means that whatever waves have been created till today, the darkness of their kinds has been created in the soul. It means that every thought wave is recorded in the soul as a special darkness like that wave. Of course, superficially we may not feel those darknesses separately in the soul. It is like the information of each type of leaves of a tree was recorded in the shade of that tree in its own time. When the shade of the new level of leaves is formed, the shadow of the old level of leaves gets erased. But when new darkness is formed in the soul from the new wave, all the old darkness created by the old waves remains recorded, they do not get erased. That is why by looking at the shade of the tree, only one shade is felt and the other older shades are not experienced. But on feeling the darkness of the soul, it feels like that darkness is one, but in it, various information of its countless living states or births with countless bodies are recorded. However, this is a very subtle feeling and doesn’t look like differentiated but a single one. This can happen only if every information is present in the form of a separate darkness. If all the other small darknesses of the soul were erased or suppressed in the big darkness of the soul like the shade of a tree, then all souls would be the same. And then the principle of karma-phala would also not be applicable. Meaning that if the information of any karma is not present in the soul, then its fruit would also not be received. But nothing like this happens?

It is worth noticing here that God did not forcefully bind anyone. He had just shown nature aka Prakriti to the soul aka Purusha. If the soul wanted, it could have rejected it. But it chose it by leaving its own eternal form. Due to this, it got bound. Meaning God wanted to give it the additional bliss of nature. But due to the attachment of the soul, the opposite happened, meaning its eternal bliss also went away.

If some leaves fall after the dense shade of the tree, then that old dense shade vanishes on its own and is replaced by light shade. But if a light wave is formed in the soul after the deep waves, then the darkness created by the old deep wave does not vanish on its own. Of course, a new and light darkness gets added to the soul with a new and light or non-attached thought wave. The shade of the tree does not stick to the ground, but it vanishes immediately with the removal of the leaves that create the shade. But the darkness of the soul remains attached to the soul. Of course, the thought wave that creates that darkness may go away, but the darkness does not go away. Perhaps it gradually goes away by regularly remembering that thought wave. Perhaps this is what happens with Kundalini Yoga.
